Early in the morning, there was a window open on the second floor of the Yuelai Inn.

There was a man leaning sideways by the window.

He closed his eyes and folded his arms around his chest.

He is still wearing yesterday's white shirt, and he still carries yesterday's black box on his back.

He stood by the window all night, not moving.

He is Xiao Xuxing.

He slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

He looked out the window, and in the distance was the West Lake.

It is also the place where he agreed with Jin Liangyu today.

Xiao Xu walked downstairs.

The door of the inn was wide open, but the blind old woman was gone last night.

Not only was she not there, but no one else in the entire inn except Xiao Xuxing was there.

Since no one is here, then he can't find what he wants here.

He went out.

Today's Wing Fong Street is very different from yesterday.

Or that yesterday's Wing Fong Street was very different from the past.

The streets are full of people and traffic.

This busy street of Wing Fong is home to numerous shops.

But what Xiao Xuxing was looking for was not in any of these shops.

That kind of thing is only found in a restaurant.

Yes, he's going to a restaurant, a big restaurant.

And that big restaurant is not on Wing Fong Street.

Half an hour later, Xiao Xuxing walked west through three streets and seven alleys and found the restaurant.

This restaurant is indeed very large, twice the size of an ordinary restaurant.

Vermilion windows, black tile roofs, wine flags are displayed in the wind, and wine customers are like river tides.

There is a sign hanging above its main entrance, which reads "Haoxi Building".

Haoxi Building, this is a very festive name, and its business is also very festive.

Xiao Xu walked in.

There are more people in the restaurant than outside the restaurant.

It's a big restaurant after all.

Xiao Xu Xingfang stepped into the restaurant, and a small house came to him.

The little guy is smiling and very enthusiastic.

Even more enthusiastic than last night's blind old woman.

But although he was very enthusiastic, there was still a hint of apology on his face.

He said to Xiao Xuxing: "I'm really sorry for the guest officer, our seats here are full, please go to other places......

Yes, there are a lot of people here.

Although it is only morning, there are many people.

It's a big restaurant after all.

Xiao Xu said: "I don't want to go anywhere else. I walked half an hour to get here, and I couldn't just leave. ”

"But we don't have any empty chairs or tables here." ”

Xiao Xu said: "If there is no chair, then I will not sit on the chair." If I don't have a table, then I don't need one. ”

The little girl was suspicious: "But if you don't sit on a chair or a table, how can you eat?"

Xiao Xu said: "So I'm not here to eat. ”

The little guy said, "Then what are you here for?"

Xiao Xu said: "I'm here to buy wine." ”

The little guy suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It turns out that the guest officer is here to buy wine, and our good wines here are Meishou wine, Hongfu wine, Qingfeng wine and Liuxia wine, dare to ask the guest officer what kind of wine to buy?"

Xiao Xuxing shook his head and said, "I don't want to be blessed with longevity, nor do I want to be breezy." I want the best wine you have here. ”

The little guy said: "These are already the best wines we have here, there is no better ......"

Xiao Xu said: "No, you have. ”

The little guy said, "What's there?"

Xiao Xu said: "There is 'good joy red'. ”

As soon as he said this, the little guy suddenly gasped and said slowly: "It's so Xihong, we do have it here." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Yes, not only that, but you are the only one in Hangzhou." And Haoxihong is also a good wine in Jiangnan second only to Jinfeng Guizi. ”

The little guy said: "What the guest officer said is good, but ......"

Xiao Xu said: "But you told me that you don't have it here." ”

The little guy looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "I just said no, because I don't want the guest officer to die." ”

Xiao Xuxing was puzzled: "Could it be that this good Xihong will also attract people to snatch it like Jinfeng Guizi?"

The little guy hurriedly said: "It's not, it's just that the wine of good wine is too fierce, if a person who drinks more than one pot in a day, he will definitely die!"

Xiao Xu said: "That's great, all I want is a pot of this wine." ”

The little guy said: "Don't you want to live?"

Xiao Xu said: "No, I don't have the money to buy a second pot." ”

"This ......"

The little guy frowned, just kept looking into the restaurant.

He suddenly said, "In that case, let's ask the guest officer to talk to the shopkeeper." ”

After that, he walked away, and he didn't wait for Xiao Xuxing to ask in detail.

Xiao Xuxing smiled bitterly, and had to go to the shopkeeper to ask for wine.

There was a man behind the cash drawer,

He was thin and thin, and he was looking down and calculating.

The abacus in his hand played fast and crackled.

And his head was never raised, and his eyes never seemed to be closed.

Xiao Xuxing stepped forward and asked, "Are you the shopkeeper here?"

The man did not answer, but continued to make calculations to himself.

Xiao Xuxing asked again: "Is there a good joy red here?"

The man still did not answer, and he did not seem to have ears on his head, but only eyes and the abacus in them.

Xiao Xuxing asked again: "Why didn't you answer my words?"

I don't know how long it took, but the abacus finally stopped ringing.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, moved the abacus aside, copied out an account book and wrote two strokes on it, and then raised his head and looked at Xiao Xuxing.

He said slowly, "Because what you say is nonsense. ”

Xiao Xuxing was puzzled: "Why is it all nonsense?"

The man said: "I am the only one here who plans to dish, naturally I am the shopkeeper here, and this place is called Haoxilou, so naturally there is Haoxihong." ”

Xiao Xu smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that what I said is indeed nonsense." ”

The shopkeeper said: "If you still want to talk nonsense, please leave Haoxi Building." If you want to be happy, please leave the building. ”

Xiao Xuxing was stunned, puzzled, and said in amazement: "You mean that you refuse to sell me Haoxihong?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's not that I won't sell you Haoxihong, it's that you can't buy Haoxihong today." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Why is it impossible to buy Haoxi Red today, do you have to look at the yellow calendar before going out to buy a pot of wine?"

The shopkeeper said, "If you came to buy it yesterday, you can buy it." Come buy it tomorrow, you can buy it. But even if you buy it today, you will never be able to buy it. ”

Xiao Xu said: "What is the difference between today and the past?"

The shopkeeper said: "The difference is that today's good joy has been sold out." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Sold out?

The shopkeeper said: "Haoxihong is not as expensive as Jinfeng Guizi, but this wine is too fierce, and seven people have died of drunkenness this year." Therefore, Haoxilou only sells two pots of Haoxihong every day, and does not sell one more pot. ”

Xiao Xu said: "You said that I will never be able to buy it today, is it that these two pots of Haoxi Red have been sold today?"

The shopkeeper nodded.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Xuxing was disappointed, but then he laughed at himself and muttered: "This may be retribution, yesterday I bought all of other people's wine, and today someone bought all of my wine, but this retribution will inevitably come too soon......"

The shopkeeper couldn't hear him talking to himself, so he copied the abacus and started fighting.

Xiao Xuxing heard the snapping of the abacus, came back to his senses, and asked the shopkeeper again: "I don't know if the shopkeeper still remembers who bought Haoxihong?"

The shopkeeper said: "Remember, I remember everyone clearly." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Who are they?"

The shopkeeper said, "There is no them, only him." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Only one person buys?"

The shopkeeper said, "Only one person buys it." ”

Xiao Xu said: "What does that person look like?"

The shopkeeper said: "He will look whatever Hanako looks like." ”

Xiao Xu said: "He's a flower child?"

The shopkeeper said, "Who else wants to dress up as Hanako except for Hanako?"

Xiao Xu said: "But how can Huazi have the money to buy good Xihong?"

The shopkeeper said: "Can't you be a drunkard if you call Hanako? As long as you are an alcoholic, whether he kills people and sets fires, or robs houses and houses, if you want to buy alcohol, you must have a way to get money." ”

Xiao Xuxing nodded and said, "That's right, that's the truth." So where did that drunkard brother go?"

The shopkeeper said: "You inquire about his whereabouts, do you want to buy Haoxihong from him?"

Xiao Xu Xing said: "I know that it is extremely difficult to buy wine from an alcoholic, but I must buy it today." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Can't you buy it tomorrow?"

Xiao Xu said: "No, because I'm going to see a friend today." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Well, it would be great if I could drink with my friends." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Yes, after all, it is not a very painful thing to pour yourself a drink. ”

The shopkeeper said, "No, I mean that if you share two pots of good joy with your friends, you won't die." ”

Xiao Xuxing laughed.

Yes, friends have such magic powers, not only to accompany you in drinking, but also to save your life.

In addition, if you are unfortunate enough to drink yourself to death, your friends can also help you collect the body.

So if you are really a smart person, you should never drink alone, and be sure to be with your friends.

In this way, even if the two of them are drunk together, there will be a companion on Huangquan Road.

Xiao Xu said: "Dare to ask where did the flower go?"

The shopkeeper said: "He didn't go there, he is still in my good building." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes drifted to a corner of the lobby, and there was indeed a person named Hanako.

Xiao Xu said thank you, raised his foot and wanted to step forward, but he fell again.

The shopkeeper looked at him standing in place without saying a word, and asked, "The people are there, and the wine is there, why do you stop here if you don't go there?"

Xiao Xuxing sighed, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of sadness.

The shopkeeper was suspicious and asked, "Shouldn't you look down on Hanako and can't pull your face to beg him for wine?"

Xiao Xuxing shook his head and said, "If Hanako can buy the wine that I couldn't buy, if I look down on him, won't I even look down on myself?"

The shopkeeper said, "In that case, what are you worried about?"

Xiao Xu said: "May I ask the shopkeeper, how much does Haoxihong sell for you here?"

The shopkeeper said: "Although Haoxihong is not as valuable as Jinfeng Guizi, it is also one of the best wines in Jiangnan, one hundred taels and one pot, and I have never counted one less." ”

Xiao Xu said: "You want a hundred taels and a pot here, how much do you think that drunkard called Huazi will sell me?"

The shopkeeper said: "For Hanako, earning one or two is also earning." ”

Xiao Xu said: "No, although he is a man named Huazi, he is even more of a drunkard above this. And the treasurer should know better than I do about the importance of silver and wine to the drunkard. ”

The shopkeeper sneered: "There is nothing in the world that money can't buy, if you really want to be happy, raise the price." ”

Xiao Xu said: "This is exactly what I am worried about, after all, I don't have any money on me at all." ”
