Chapter 114: Burning the Knife
Bishan Restaurant is located in an old street in the northwest of Shangyang Mansion.
Because the houses here are old, most of them have moved out, and those who are left behind are either old and infirm, or some poor families who are not very wealthy.
Especially at night, before it was late at night, there were few people walking around the street, and the shops on both sides were almost closed, and it was very deserted.
Qiu Tianming didn't know how there could be a delicious place in this kind of place.
However, seeing Zhang Qingshan's excited face, he couldn't bear to say anything.
The two of them walked around, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.
It was an old shop, dark in front and back, and there were no other shops open next to it. The restaurant is said to be a restaurant, in fact, it is only one floor, the appearance has been blackened, two lanterns, the cloth plate of the Bishan Restaurant shines out, it is a strip of cloth hanging on a stick, the wind and the sun, have faded, and will float away at any time.
"Who did you listen to in this place?" Qiu Tianming asked, pointing to the strip of cloth fluttering in the wind.
"A friend, it's already here anyway, go in and have a taste!"
Zhang Qingshan strode in with his hands behind his back.
In the restaurant, there are several old tables and chairs, with oil lamps lit on them, and the shopkeeper is standing behind the cabinet, supporting his face with one hand, squinting and dozing.
"Shopkeeper!" Qiu Tianming walked in and immediately knocked on the counter, "Do you have any good wine and food?"
"Ouch!" The old man who looked to be forty or fifty years old immediately woke up, and saw Zhang Qingshan and Qiu Tianming dressed richly, and immediately greeted him from behind the cabinet, with a smile on his face, "Two distinguished guests, please take a seat!"
"I'm all good wine and good food, it's up to the two of you, what do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper poured tea for Zhang Qingshan and the others.
Qiu Tianming thought for a moment and said, "Then you can bring your signboard here!"
"Everything is a signboard! Why don't you have everything?"
The corners of Qiu Tianming's mouth twitched, he really had never seen such a shameless shopkeeper. Everything is a signboard, why don't you say that this is the best restaurant in Shangyang Mansion?
"One sour and spicy elbow, and a few others are fine. Zhang Qingshan said suddenly.
"Sour and spicy elbows? This guest officer shouldn't be joking? How can there be elbows made with a sour and spicy taste?"
Zhang Qingshan has been staring at the shopkeeper since he spoke.
However, he did not see any fluctuations in his face from the shopkeeper's face.
Am I mistaken?
"Then may I ask the shopkeeper, is there another Bishan restaurant nearby?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The entire Shangyang Mansion is here, and there is no semicolon!"
Zhang Qingshan smiled and didn't continue to ask, "Then let's just take a few things, we are not picky, the most important thing is that the wine should be good!"
"Dele!" the shopkeeper responded, and immediately shouted to the backyard: "Old ghost, there are guests, there are a few dishes, and the wine should burn the knife!"
"Bang dang! bang dang ......"
Momentarily, the backyard was lit up, followed by a cacophony of sounds.
Qiu Tianming glanced at the backyard expressionlessly, he could even smell the pungent smell of oil smoke coming from the backyard stir-frying, he was very suspicious that the dishes in this place could not be eaten.
Zhang Qingshan didn't care about the smell of oil smoke, he looked at the decoration of the restaurant with interest, the shop was an old shop, the people were also old people, and the wine table was full of mottled years, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a life-saving place.
Could the note be a joke Tang Fan made with himself when he left?
He shook his head, in his impression, Tang Fan was not so boring. It's probably because the treasurer's city is too deep.
He waited for a moment, and the food and drinks were delivered.
The shopkeeper personally delivered it.
The same braised lion's head, the same dry-cut cooked beef, a plate of peanuts, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of wine.
It's almost a home-cooked side dish.
The appearance is not good-looking, steaming, and the placement is not exquisite, and it is served on a plate casually.
Qiu Tianming's face changed color when he saw these dishes.
"Brother Zhang, this ......"
Zhang Qingshan coughed a few times and picked up the chopsticks, "Try it!"
"I'm still drinking bars!" Qiu Tianming really didn't have the slightest interest in the food, he picked up the wine jug on the side and poured two glasses of wine.
The wine is clear and clear, and when it is poured out, it immediately smells of the rich aroma of wine.
"The dishes are average, this wine seems to be good!" Qiu Tianming leaned in front of the cup and smelled it, the aroma of this wine was more fragrant than all the wine he had drunk in the past.
He directly picked up the glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
"Ahem!ahem!ahem......"
The wine entered his throat, and Qiu Tianming suddenly squirted out the wine in his mouth that he hadn't had time to swallow, his face was flushed, and he coughed out the wine in his throat.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Qingshan asked.
"Good...... What a strong wine!" Qiu Tianming clutched his throat and spoke intermittently.
Zhang Qingshan poured him a cup of tea and asked him to drink it, which made him feel better.
"Brother, this wine is gone!" Qiu Tianming's whole face turned red, and his mouth was full of the smell of wine.
Zhang Qingshan frowned, picked up the cup, and smelled it, and indeed a strong aroma of wine came to his nose.
He has been here for almost a year, and he often drinks alcohol, but most of the wine in Jingxian is relatively light, estimated to be only more than ten or twenty degrees, as long as he doesn't drink too much, it is almost difficult to get drunk.
The same is true in Shangyang Province, where spirits are almost never drunk.
This humble old shop, is it possible to make wine, what else can't be done?
He brought the glass to his mouth and took a sip.
Suddenly, he felt a hot sensation explode in his mouth. Then it spread down the throat and completely spread out in the chest, and the whole body was suddenly warm and indescribably happy!
"This ...... This must be at least forty or fifty degrees?" Zhang Qingshan's eyes widened, he felt that this alcohol level was almost the same as that of liquor on the earth.
How is this possible?
He had read a lot of books and knew that the grain production here was not high. How much grain does it cost to make such a high level of liquor?
"How's it going?" Qiu Tianming asked excitedly.
Zhang Qingshan put down the wine glass, "Wine is indeed good wine!"
"Brother Zhang, where did you find such a restaurant, I have never heard of it in Shangyang Mansion for so many years! I was actually discovered by you!" Qiu Tianming poured himself a glass again, this time, he carefully tasted it, and the whole person suddenly narrowed his eyes, enjoying the excitement brought to him by the spirits.
"Good wine! It's really good wine! I have never drunk good wine in my life!" Qiu Tianming opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Qingshan frowned, he picked up a lion's head and tasted it.
The taste of the dish is average, there is nothing outstanding, it can only be regarded as decent.
I tasted the cooked beef, dipped in the sauce next to it, and it was almost the same as the cooked beef in other restaurants.
"This peanut kernel is good, fried crispy and fragrant, stained with a little salt, with this good wine, it is a perfect match!" Qiu Tianming took a peanut kernel, chewed a few bites, and immediately gave a thumbs up.
Baijiu with peanut kernels is naturally a perfect match, and almost everyone knew it when they were on Earth in the last life.
It's just that he always feels that this wine is a little weird!
"Shopkeeper?" Zhang Qingshan put down his chopsticks and asked.
"Come on, officer, what do you command?" the shopkeeper hurriedly trotted over and asked with a smile.
"You made this wine yourself?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "How can I do this thing, it was brewed by my owner." Anyway, I can't finish drinking, so I'll sell some of it on weekdays! However, you can't drink too much of this wine, and it's easy to get drunk!"
"Oh, can you please come out and talk about it?" Zhang Qingshan hugged his fists.
"I'm really sorry, the owner went to Beijing a few months ago, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. ”
"It's a pity that someone who can make such good wine can't see it!"
"It is estimated that it will only be about a month or two, and the owner will almost come back, if the guest officer really wants to see it, he can come and try his luck at that time!"
Zhang Qingshan nodded, "Thank you to the shopkeeper in this way." ”
"The guest officer is polite!"
......
Zhang Qingshan didn't eat a few bites, but Qiu Tianming ate and drank wildly, and when he left, he walked unsteadily, and he was almost eight points drunk.
"Brother Zhang, I can still drink!"
"Brother Qiu, it's not early, hurry back. ”
"It's okay, let me drink some more!"
"If you want to drink, there will be a chance in the future!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Qingshan helped Qiu Tianming all the way to Zhang's mansion, arranged for someone to take him to the wing, and then returned to the room alone.
Although he didn't test the strength of the shopkeeper, there must be a secret in the Bishan Restaurant.
The old man in the old shop, but there is such an amazing spirit.
This kind of wine, even if it is located in the middle of nowhere, will spread ten, ten to hundred, if it is usual, the threshold has been broken, and even, even the Three Rivers Gang Bishan Sword Sect will come to fight for the wine party.
How could business be so cold?
In addition, Tang Fan's reminder, Duan Cheng's sour and spicy elbows. Taken together, these reveal something unusual.
It's just that now it's extraordinary, and he doesn't want to make any extraneous things happen for the time being.
And, tonight he has more important things to do.
He breathed a little in the room and dissipated all the alcohol in his body.
After that, he changed into a night suit and secretly went out while everyone in the Zhang Mansion had not noticed.
He galloped on the rooftop, and soon came to Jiang Mansion again.
This time the matter of the Three Rivers Gang and the Bishan Sword Sect, he felt that he had to figure things out thoroughly.
If it was really Jiang Tao, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he had to hurry up and come up with countermeasures, otherwise, in this terrifying battle, there was very likely to be great danger.
On the roof of Jiangfu, Zhang Qingshan restrained his breathing, and his internal force was running to the limit, he carefully removed the roof tiles, and immediately saw Jiang Tao sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, drinking leisurely alone.
"Gongzi Zhang, I already knew that you would come, the tea is brewed, let's come down and have a drink together?" Jiang Tao suddenly raised his head, smiled with a smile on his face, and said casually.
