There were two more people sitting next to Mr. Blackbeard. The three of them are all chivalrous masters with excellent reputations, and they have studied deeply in the field of hobbies, and they were invited to participate in the evaluation of the treasures on stage.

This black-bearded gentleman is known as "Jiuquan Jushi", he is drunk, he is a master of the wine country, he stood up, took the cup, and said with a smile: "The rhino horn cup adds the fragrance of wine, and Mr. Mao is an expert." ”

I took a sip of wine, tasted it in my mouth for a long time, and said: "Good wine, this wine is called Jiuhua, pear blossom, osmanthus, peach blossom, apricot blossom, rose, cherry blossom, dragon turning clouds, fire phoenix, five-color Gu shot, nine kinds of floral fragrance are integrated with each other, so that the wine contains nine hundred and eighty-one aromas, the aroma is full, and the aftertaste is endless." ”

He added: "Mr. Mao said that this wine has been brewed for ten years, which seems to be inappropriate. If it is really ten years, there will be no raw flavor left in the wine. Well, maybe seven and a half years, right?"

Mao Shoucheng said in his heart: "This old man claims to be the best drunkard in the past, and sure enough, there are some doors, I said the brewing time for two and a half years, but I can't hide it from him." ”

In the end, he was drunk and priced at a thousand taels of silver.

The drunkards who were wealthy and wealthy here couldn't help but feel itchy when they smelled the wine just now, and they bid one after another, and soon the price rose to two thousand five hundred taels.

Mao Shoucheng laughed dryly and said: "It's not that the old man boasted, this wine is the best wine in the world, but anyone who loves wine will never find half a flaw." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that he was provoking the strange old man. In the past, no matter what rare treasures were put up for auction, the old man always had to belittle a few words, but this time I don't know what he had to say.

I saw that the strange old man's expression was flat, he laughed twice, and said: "The old man has a lot of horses at home, and the taste of horse urine is several times stronger than this wine, and I don't know if the old man's horse urine ability is high, or this wine is poor." ”

Mao Shoucheng said angrily: "Lao'er, you don't talk too much, since you say that the old man's wine is not good, then take out the good wine, let the scattered people here, let him taste it, and make a judgment!"

The old man laughed and said coldly: "If you take a bottle of horse urine out, will you bring out the old man's good wine?"

Most of the people in the hall don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, they all know that Mao Shoucheng is the richest man in Qianzhou, and there are many treasures in the house, and this eccentric old man is not simple.

When they saw that the strange old man didn't answer, they shouted: "If you have the ability, take out the good wine and let Mr. Ren evaluate it!"

The old man shook his head slightly, beckoned the scribe who was entourage, whispered a few words, and the scribe went out of the hall.

After a while, the scribe returned with a large jar in his hand. Seeing this, everyone secretly suspected: But all fine wine and fine wine are the essence of wine, and the amount will not be much, how can one take a big jar?

Mao Shoucheng also sneered slightly, just waiting to see the old man make a fool of himself.

The scribe took the altar to the stage, asked for a glass, and poured it slowly. The wine was so strange that when it was full, it did not overflow, but rose above the rim of the glass. And after the mud seal was opened, everyone didn't smell the smell of wine.

The scribe put down the wine jar, let Song Zhongjing identify it, and then held up the wine glass and sent it to Ren Zidrunk.

Although Mao Shoucheng saw that the wine was different, he still expected the eccentric old man to be tricky, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he looked disdainful.

Ren Zidrunk took the wine glass, put his lips on the wine, took a small sip, closed his eyes, and tasted it with all his attention.

Everyone saw that he began to look more soothing, and gradually the corners of his mouth rose, as if he was very happy, and then turned calm, and suddenly his eyebrows shrugged, and he became very surprised. In a moment, several expressions changed. For a moment, the hall was silent.

After a long time, Ren Zidrunk slowly opened his eyes and sighed: "Ren thinks that he has tasted countless wines, but he has never tasted such fine wines. ”

The implication of these words is naturally that this old man's wine is much higher than that of Jiuhua Elixir.

Mao Shoucheng was shocked and angry, and said loudly: "Impossible! Mr. Ren, are you..." He wanted to ask Ren if he was drunk for personal gain, but thinking that this person was extremely famous and could not be offended, he immediately changed his words: "Only tasting one cup will inevitably be wrong." ”

Ren Zi was drunk and displeased, and said: "Ren has been drinking for more than 40 years, so he can only smell its fragrance and distinguish between the superior and the inferior, but this old gentleman's wine is very strange, and the aroma of the wine is inside, and it is not exposed." Ren evaluates martial arts weapons, or he can be favoritistic, if he tastes wine and has half a selfish intention, teach Ren not to drink alcohol for the next ten lifetimes. ”

After looking at the wine glass for a long time, he put it on the table and said: "This wine is the best in the wine, in the eyes of Ren, it is priceless, if you want to set the price, you will set two thousand taels of silver." ”

Everyone knows that he is a heavy drinker, and he said that "you will not drink alcohol for ten lifetimes", which is very sincere. But after all, they only heard about it, hesitated for a while, and no one wanted to bid.

The old man said, "Old man, please have a drink and then decide whether it is worth bidding." Glancing at the scribe, the scribe lifted the jar, went down the stage, and poured a glass for everyone.

There were many people in the hall, and the scribe had not poured half of the people on it, and he had already finished drinking in a hurry, and shouted one after another: "Good wine, good wine!" "Bid two thousand five hundred taels!" "Lao Tzu will give three thousand!"

The drunkards, who had not drunk the wine, could not hold back this shout, and rushed straight forward, asking the scribe to pour it for themselves. One person took the lead, everyone rushed over, and those who had drunk also took the opportunity to ask for it again, and there was chaos in the hall.

Song Zhongjing frowned slightly when he saw that things had developed to this point. The old man looked at the crowd huddled together, slowly drinking the cup of fragrant tea, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When the scribe had finished pouring a jar of wine, those who had not drunk the wine, who had not drunk enough, looked depressed, sighed, and drank two or three glasses, and felt that they had taken a great advantage, and were overjoyed.

Lu Xiaoyuan also went to ask for a drink, sat down back to his seat, took a sip, and looked at Xiushi, who happened to meet Xiushi's gaze and raised his thumb, which meant "This wine is even better than your beauty wine." ”

Xiushi smiled slightly, and the folding fan shook gently.

Fang Yun smiled: "I didn't expect you to be a little drunkard at such a young age. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said, "Aren't you drinking?" said as he sent the wine glass to Fang Yun.

Fang Yunfen's nose wrinkled slightly, and said, "I won't drink it, you've drunk it all." ”

The scribe went out of the hall and took back a jar again, but he did not pour wine for the people, but took it up to the auction table for the goods to be auctioned.

At this time, everyone tasted the aroma of wine, and they all bid enthusiastically, and it rose to 5,800 taels in an instant. In any case, this is just a jar of wine, which cannot cure all kinds of poisons and improve skills, and everyone is unwilling to pay a higher price no matter how much they want it.
