Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Mighty Desert 10 The Old Smell of Hometown
"This is where to say!" Yi Xi went to his daughter's house, thoughtful, glanced at his brother, a little suspicious, and said: "Let's go to the city for a few drinks first, maybe we have to go back to the Central Plains together, so we can't go all the way again, and we are still good friends!"
"Well, you go to the city first, find the restaurant, I handed over the surname Fang to the government, and then come!" Fu Dongzhu was as calm as ever, looked at Yi Xi and said: "We can't take this guy who is in the way, isn't it a disappointment!"
"Don't fight for this moment and a half!" Ren Tianbai stared at Fudong Zhu for a long time, and then said: "Let's go with you, hand over the errand, and it's not too late to drink together!"
"Why isn't Ren Gongzi afraid that he will be late in the city and make a mistake?" Fu Dongzhu turned around and said with some displeasure: "Don't forget, those people in Wei Qinghuan are now afraid that they are going to Fengzhou Wei, what kind of Tao brother of you, and the girl of the Cheng family, must not be stable!"
"It's useless to talk too much here!" Yi Di gave Yi Xi a look, led the two horses over, handed the reins in the hands of the two and said: "Let's hurry up and go into the city, it's not too early now, Fengzhou Wei is where the garrison is, the law is extremely strict, once the time is missed, as soon as the city gate is closed, we will eat and drink farts outside the city!"
In a word, everyone laughed, each got on their horses, bypassed the green mound, Fengzhou Wei was not far away, a group of grasslands, a soil city rose from the ground, the flags on the city hunted and moved, from time to time there was a team of sentry horses galloping out of the city, going to the depths of the grassland, along the direction of those sentry posts, about the foot of the faintly visible mountain, there seemed to be a piece of military tent continuously, naturally the army went out to camp the place!
Fengzhou Wei is the first big city in the north, from this place to the north, there is no such big city, it is also a military town in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the city also looks prosperous, the merchants also say that it is bustling, many Mongolians are also mixed in, wearing the clothes of the Han people who do not know what to find there, driving cattle, sheep and horses to trade here. Fudong Zhu entered the city to find the official office in the city, showed his criminal department token, took Fang Zhutou to prison, and when the charges were verified, he issued a reward of silver, and those camel drivers were overjoyed to stay at the door of the ya, and the two of them followed the Yi family brothers and sisters, through the city and alleys, to find the restaurant!
"This is it!" The Yi brothers and sisters walked in the alleys of the city, and they didn't know how many circles they went around, only then did they see a small restaurant in front of them, and on a wine flag at the door, the word dang was written, Yi Xi smiled and said: "People say that the owner of this restaurant is not from this place, it seems that he escaped from his hometown privately, and he didn't dare to go back to his hometown, so he lived here to sell wine.
"Escaped?" Ren Tianbai was stunned, seeing that the Yi family brothers and sisters had already arrived at the door of the restaurant, and were greeted by a little second brother, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw the back of the shopkeeper in the counter facing the door, as if he was looking for something, Ren Tianbai flashed his eyes, and saw that there was an empty table and chair in the corner, just because it was a little dim, most of the guests did not want to go, so he took a few steps and sat down!
"Ren Gongzi is so fast!" Yi Di was about to give up his seat, and when he turned around, he saw that Ren Tianbai was already sitting there, although he felt a little strange in his heart, but he also flashed by, and even the reinvigorating bamboo also came over, and each sat down, and then ordered: "Come and drink, don't want it on your counter, you want your family to brew it!"
"The guest officer is a regular customer, how do you know that my family's home-brewed wine is good?" The little second brother looked at Yi Di, as if he was a little curious, Yi Xi also looked at the little second brother and said: "Last time I came, it seems that it was not you who entertained, but another little second brother, why is that one not seen today, is it a different person?"
"I haven't changed people, I'm coming, I'm coming!" The second brother laughed, and greeted the guests at another table: "It seems that a few are really regular customers, I had something at home a few days ago, and I am not in the store, since a few are regular customers, I will go to drink, I don't know what dishes to drink?"
"What other appetizers are there in this place!" Yi Di smiled and said: "It's nothing more than beef and mutton, but last time I came, your roast lamb was really good, pick up three or five catties, and other dishes, you can come by thinking two or three things yourself!"
"Where is this shopkeeper?" Ren Tianbai never paid attention to Yi Di talking to the little second brother, his eyes were always sneaking at the shopkeeper in front of the counter with his back to the outside, Yi Xi looked a little puzzled, looked back at the shopkeeper, and then looked at Ren Tianbai and said: "Does Ren Gongzi recognize the shopkeeper? What did the little second brother say last time...... Oh, yes, this shopkeeper is from Shanxi!"
"Shanxi? Or are you on a bad listen, it's from Shaanxi!" Fu Dongzhu asked without moving, Yi Xi's mouth pursed, and he said a little angrily: "No matter how bad I am, I haven't reached the point where Shanxi is inseparable, and the shopkeeper is indeed from Shanxi, and he is very good at doing business!"
"Hey......" Ren Tianbai kept looking at the counter, and saw the shopkeeper turn around, but his mouth was a little surprised, although he didn't know if what Yi Xi said was right, but this shopkeeper looked like he was already about forty, and his eyes were full of shrewdness, not Tao Zhong, who he thought, was a little disappointed in his heart!
"The wine is coming! a few slow uses!" The little second brother came up with a pair of trays in a moment, put down a pair of wine jugs, four wine glasses, a plate of cut mutton, and a few side dishes, all of which were objects on the cattle and sheep, and a plate was placed, so he poured a glass of wine for the four of them, and said mysteriously: "There are more guests and less wine, I can only make this pot today, if it weren't for a few old guests, I'm afraid that I wouldn't even have this pot, and ask a few more to take care of it!"
"I know, I know!" Yi Di laughed and said: "Your master doesn't know how to brew more, it's just a gimmick to attract repeat customers, come on, Ren Gongzi, revenge friends, let's have a drink together!"
"This wine ......" Fudongzhu picked up the wine glass, but his face changed, Ren Tianbai also felt something strange, the Yi family brothers and sisters hurriedly took a picture of the wine glass, for fear that the two of them would find out that there was something wrong with the wine, Fudongzhu had already picked up the wine glass and drank it all, smacking his mouth and said: "Good wine, good wine, I'm afraid it can't be made by ordinary people!"
"Little second brother, come here!" Ren Tianbai picked up the wine glass, took a sip lightly, his face became more and more heavy, and the Yi brothers and sisters were a little puzzled, and then Ren Tianbai stretched out his hand and called the little second brother and said, "Who made this wine in your family?"
