Chapter 79: A bowl of rice wine goes down
Qian Bufeng found Shui Yue and told all the things about Shui Qingqian.
Shui Yue was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, but he didn't say a word.
Qian Bufeng knew that Shui Yue was uncomfortable, so he only patted him lightly on the shoulder, and did not say any words of comfort, only said, "Let's go, let's drink two pots." ”
Hearing this, Shui Yue nodded and said, "Okay, drink two pots." ”
Since the Nine Immortals Gate is forbidden to drink, if you want to drink, you have to go down the mountain and find a small mountain village to buy it.
Therefore, the two went directly out of the mountain gate, then followed the road, and walked for a while before they saw a small mountain village called "Xiaofeng Village".
After walking a few more steps into the village, I soon saw a wine flag.
Wine flags were waving in the wind, and next to it was a simple log cabin that could only accommodate seven or eight people.
There were only two tables, five or six benches, and a large wine vat.
In front of the vat is a simple counter made of a few pieces of wood and a wooden plank, on which are placed several large celadon bowls, a few pairs of bamboo chopsticks, a large plate of cooked beef and a few plates of salted peanuts.
Although it looks a little simpler, it has wine and meat, and it can be called a wine shop.
It's amazing how this small wine shop has a couplet with its name.
I saw a door panel crookedly engraved with the words "Huangjiufang", on the left is "a bowl of rice wine under the belly", and on the right is "to protect you from the clouds".
Connected together, it is "a bowl of rice wine to protect you from the clouds".
Qian Bufeng and Shui Yue were originally preoccupied, and when they saw these twelve characters on the door panel of this humble wine shop, they couldn't help but laugh a little dumbly.
The owner of the wine shop was an old man with a goatee, and he saw Qian Bufeng and Shui Yue smiling dumbly in front of the door, and chuckled: "Why, the two little brothers seem to have some opinions on this couplet in front of the old and decayed door. ”
Shui Yue shook his head with a smile and did not speak.
Qian Bufeng smiled and said, "Boss, can you also be regarded as a couplet?"
The old man twisted his beard and smiled smugly, "In my tavern, I say couplets and they are couplets. As long as I want, I can say that it is a poem, a word, or a hand-me-down. ”
"There are many troubles in the world, and most of them are mediocre people. As long as you're happy, you can do whatever you want. ”
"After all, it's hard to buy a thousand dollars, and I'm willing. ”
Qian Bufeng suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! Okay! Okay! If your rice wine here is as interesting as yours, then I think everyone will be very happy today. ”
With that, he and Shui Yue walked straight in and sat down under a bench in front of a table.
The old man smiled and took two large celadon bowls, scooped up two large bowls of wine and put them in front of the two of them, and said with a smile: "This rice wine is brewed by me, and it is much more interesting than my old man." ”
As he spoke, he went to cut two catties of cooked beef, and took a plate of peanuts together.
Then he returned to the counter and sat down, skillfully cocked Erlang's legs, and looked at the green mountains and green grass outside with his somewhat cloudy eyes, and he actually looked at it with relish.
Qian Bufeng saw that this old man was acting interestingly, and said with a smile: "Boss, your small shop will not be patronized for a while, why don't you come over and have a few sips with us?"
The old man didn't reply, "This wine is very strong, I'm afraid I won't remember to collect your wine money after a few sips." ”
Qian Bufeng and Shui Yue both laughed when they heard this, and only said that this was a joke he prevaricated.
Then the two raised the bowl, touched each other, and drank most of the bowl in one go.
Ahem!
The two coughed almost simultaneously, apparently choking.
Then their faces turned a little red, and even tears were choked out.
I heard the old man smile, but he never looked back, and said, "What, I said this wine is very interesting!"
After a while, Qian Bufeng, who had eased up, said: "It's really funny, it's the first time I've drunk such an interesting rice wine." ”
"When this wine first touches the tip of the tongue, there is only a faint taste of wine, which is almost the same as clear water. ”
By the time it reached its throat, the smell of wine had changed a bit, and it had already spread its heat. ”
When it reached the Adam's apple, the smell of wine seemed to explode all at once, and the hot sensation instantly rose several times or even ten times, making people feel like their throat was burning, spicy and choking. ”
But when it flowed down the chest into the stomach, the burning spicy sensation suddenly receded like a tide, but there was a sweet wine with a faint bitterness, and then rose from the stomach to the throat, throat, and then spread to the mouth and nose. ”
After finishing speaking, Qian Bufeng took another sip and praised it: "Good wine!
After listening to Qian Bufeng's words, the old man raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally turned his head, looked the latter up and down again, and said with a smile: "I can't see that you are young, but this wine tasting effort is quite home." ”
"I've been selling rice wine here for 30 years, and it's the first time I've heard someone explain the taste of this wine so clearly and thoroughly. ”
Shui Yue also followed: "The boss is right, I feel this way after drinking this wine, but if I am asked to describe it in words, I don't think I can describe it even if I drink another thirty bowls." ”
Qian Bufeng smiled, and then said to the old man: "I have some of the axes, this wine is made by you, and you naturally know the taste best, why do you need me to talk nonsense." ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Young man, it's not right for you to say that. ”
"This person has his own strengths, and the so-called art industry has a specialty. ”
"People who know how to make wine don't necessarily taste wine. If you know how to taste wine, you won't necessarily make wine. ”
"Just like this rice wine, although I made it, if I were asked to taste the taste, it would not be as careful and thorough as you. ”
"The so-called Maxima often has Bole and Bole is not often, my rice wine is also considered to have met a Bole in wine today!"
"This wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, so I will say to you just now, old man, even if I don't do business today, I will have a bowl with you!"
Qian Bufeng stroked his palms and smiled when he heard this: "That's really good!"
Shui Yue also said: "You are a lot, but don't get us drunk!"
The old man laughed when he heard this, then filled the bowl of wine in the two of them, scooped up a full bowl and held it in his hand, walked over and sat down, raised the wine in the bowl, and said, "Come, young men, dry this bowl of rice wine!"
