Chapter 11: Drinking
The man in white in the small pavilion had a face like a crown of jade, and his appearance was extremely handsome, seeing Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu approaching, he smiled at the two of them: "The two of you have worked hard from afar, and it is not too late to rest in the pavilion for a while, drink a glass of water and wine, and then move forward." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the remaining peach in Gu Caiyu's hand, his face changed, and he said in a lost voice: "Millennium immortal peach?
Gu Caiyu said: "What is good fortune? This is called good talent! If there is no talent, how can there be good fortune?"
The man in white was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Yes, it is indeed a good talent! If there is no poetry in exchange, Mr. Zhu will never give this immortal peach to the two of you." ”
He looked at Yang Yi, "The two of them are amazing, since they can walk into my pavilion, it can be seen that they are really extraordinary......"
He wanted to say anything more, but was interrupted by Yang Yi: "Dude, how much wine do you have here?"
The man in white said: "Wen Jun is here, I don't dare to slack off, I deliberately searched for good wine in Dangyang City, and all of them were pulled here, although it can't compare to the peerless wine in Zhongzhou, but it can also be called the word 'fine wine'." He stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, "Look at you." ”
Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu followed his fingers and saw that behind the pillars of the pavilion, there was a row of wine jars, these wine jars were large and small, densely arranged under the platform, and there were no less than 100 altars.
Yang Yi smiled: "Brother has a heart." ”
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone bench not far away, and after sitting down, he said to the middle-aged man in white: "I'm very thirsty, and I'm tired of the old brother to come to a bowl at will to relieve his fatigue." ”
The man in white said, "Brother Ren's words are wrong! How can you drink at will?"
Yang Yi smiled dumbly, "If you can't even drink at will, then it's okay not to drink this wine!"
The man in white said, "Otherwise, wine is the essence of food, how can you not treat it carefully?"
Yang Yi smiled: "I want to hear it." ”
The man in white said: "Gao Jian didn't have it, but he had a little shallow idea." ”
He sighed: "There are also times to drink, you see that the sun is scorching now, and Brother Ren is thirsty, it is better to drink wine at this time." ”
Yang Yi shook his head and smiled: "Brother, if you pay attention to diet, you are not as good as me." ”
He looked at the man in white, shook his head and said, "I was very particular about eating for a while, but then I gradually got tired of it, and I got so many rules for drinking and eating, which really didn't match my own temperament. ”
The man in white smiled and said, "Oh? ”
Yang Yi said with a smile: "You just said that wine is the best to drink in summer, which is really good, but the wine also needs to be chilled before you can eat it." Speaking of this, Yang Yi said: "I'm tired of the old man, let's have a bowl of wine first." ”
Gu Caiyu said: "Two bowls!"
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Chilled wine, cooling off in the summer, is indeed the best drink, but this is a well-known principle in the world, and it is not a family's words." ”
Gu Caiyu said: "Even if everyone knows the reason, I didn't hear your Excellency say it just now. ”
The middle-aged man in white said with a smile: "The little girl has sharp teeth, but it is rare. ”
He stretched out his hand and lifted a wine barrel behind him, and said with a smile: "This barrel of wine is wine transported from the Western Regions, and it is rare in the Central Plains. Please also ask Brother Ren to taste. As he spoke, he opened the wooden lid of the wine barrel, took out two crystal clear crystal cups, and said to Yang Yi: "To drink wine, you need to use crystal cups to have a bit of elegance. ”
He placed the barrel on the stone table, and with a gentle tap of his palm on the barrel, a stream of bright red wine flew out of the barrel, split in two in the air, and entered the wine glass on the table.
In the two wine glasses, one-third of the height of the glass is poured, and there is no difference between the two sides. It can be seen that this person's control of his own skills has reached an extremely clever level.
The man in white smiled, "There is no ice here, and if you want to drink cold wine, you need to find your own way." He gently pushed the two wine glasses in front of Yang Yi and said with a smile: "Please!"
Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, you can't drink this wine." ”
The man in white was stunned: "But why?"
Yang Yi sighed: "Drinking wine in summer, although it is to drink wine, but wine is also divided into white grapes and red grapes. In such weather, even after being chilled, red wine is a little slippery, which is not in keeping with this season. ”
The man in white was silent.
Yang Yi said again: "It's okay for you to drink red wine in summer, but you still have to drink red wine in wooden barrels, which is unbearable." ”
The man in white's face changed color and asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Yang Yi sighed: "The purpose of wooden barrel wine is to impregnate the wine with the aroma of wood, so that the wine has the aroma of wood, so the taste is excellent." But now it is the height of summer, under the high temperature, the wood and wine are too bad, so that the smell of wood in the wine suppresses the taste of the wine, even if this wine is chilled, there is a strange smell, I can't drink this wine. ”
The man in white was suspicious, took a crystal cup from in front of Yang Yi, stretched out his hand and beckoned to the stream not far away, and a stream of water had already been beckoned by him. When the stream reached his hand, it did not break up and formed a large ball.
Seeing him show such a skill, Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu both applauded loudly.
The man in white was indifferent to the cheers of the two, just concentrated on holding the water balloon in his hand, and after a while, the big water balloon began to emit a trace of white gas, gradually solidifying, and after a while, the water balloon had become a solid ice ball.
Gu Caiyu saw that he condensed water into ice, although the strength of this cold palm was powerful, it was more than a step worse than Yang Yi's ability to condense water to make armor on the Huanglong River. At that time, Yang Yi recruited the water to get up, and in just a moment, Jiang Shui had already formed a huge ice ball on his body. And the man in white in front of him took a long time to condense into such a small Xiaoice ball, and the gap between the two is already a difference between cloud and mud.
After the white clothes condensed into ice, he put the ice hockey ball on the stone table, stood up like a knife, and cut it in half with one palm.
He put the wine he had just poured on the plane of the ice puck and iced it for a while, then picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, closed his eyes and tasted it for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Brother Ren is right, I am wrong!"
Yang Yi smiled: "It's just drinking, what does it matter if it's right or wrong?"
The man in white said: "No, it has a lot to do with it! How can you be sloppy with drinking for thousands of years? Wrong, it's wrong!"
He stood up, bowed to Yang Yishen, and said, "Drinking today, I thought it would be difficult for Brother Yang, but I never thought that I would lose in the first game." Shame, shame!"
Yang Yi smiled: "Can you have a bowl of light wine to quench your thirst now?"
The man in white didn't dare to be proficient, and asked, "What kind of wine does Brother Ren want to drink?"
Yang Yihaha said with a smile: "At this moment, since there is no wine, then you can only replace it with rice wine, do you have rice wine here?"
Bai Yi said: "Yes, yes, there are a few jars of rice wine." ”
At that moment, he took out a few bowls and put them on the table, poured a few bowls of rice wine, and asked Yang Yi for advice: "I don't know how to drink this rice wine?"
Yang Yi smiled: "Just drink it cold." ”
picked up a bowl of rice wine and handed it to Gu Caiyu, "Drink it!"
Gu Caiyu took the wine bowl, took a sip, and praised: "It's cold and delicious, it's just right to drink." ”
The man in white looked at Gu Caiyu's wine bowl, only to see a faint cold air coming out of the wine bowl, but it was not obvious, and when he was confused, he saw Yang Yi pick up another bowl of wine and put it in front of him, "You are the master, this bowl of wine is for you, let's drink a bowl together." ”
The man in white picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and he was shocked when he started, this wine bowl became extremely cold at some point, Yang Yi actually cooled the wine in the wine bowl at the moment when he picked up the wine bowl, such an understatement, the means of cooling the wine, he would not be able to do it even if he practiced for another thirty years.
At this time, Yang Yi had already stretched out a wine bowl in front of him, touched his wine bowl, and said with a smile: "Please!"
The man in white raised the wine bowl in a daze and took a big sip of rice wine. I only felt that this rice wine was cold in the mouth, like an ice line from the mouth along the esophagus to the stomach, and the dryness disappeared for a while, and the heat disappeared.
After taking this sip of wine, his mind regained clarity, and his heart was ashamed and shocked.
At this time, Yang Yi had already drunk a bowl of rice wine, he was full of wine, and said to the white cloth: "Brother, I'm tired of another altar." ”
The man in white hurriedly brought him another jar of rice wine.
Yang Yi shook his head and smiled: "Brother, rice wine can quench your thirst and cool off, but if you want to drink it happily, it has to be liquor."
The man in white was shocked and admired at this time, and he didn't dare to go against his will, so he hurriedly brought him a jar of liquor.
Yang Yi patted the wine seal, poured a bowl of wine slowly, and smiled at the man in white: "Brother, dry this bowl of wine." He took the wine bowl and touched it with the wine bowl in the hand of the man in white, and drank it dry in one gulp.
The man in white saw that he drank such a strong wine as if he were drinking water, and said in a daze: "Brother Ren, isn't it too hurtful to drink like this?"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "I am a good drinker by nature, and my physique is also considered to be strong, the more I drink this wine, the more enjoyable I am!"
The man in white frowned and said: "You have to pay attention to the time and place to drink before you have a sense of meaning, if you drink and swallow whales at will, it is too rude." ”
Yang Yi shook his head and said: "Casual is natural, like some so-called literati and scholars who drink and pay attention to what flowers must be in front of the flower, under the moon, bamboo forest, high pavilion, painting boat, secluded house, and other elegant places, even the drinking season is also particular, what to say that the evening cool, rain, and new moon have a sense of meaning." ”
The man in white said, "This makes sense." ”
Yang Yi said: "Drinking like this, are you tired? Even his mother has to drink it deliberately, such delicate and pretentious, don't drink this wine!"
The man in white saw Yang Yi spitting foul words, and said in a daze: "Drinking alcohol is an elegant thing, why did Brother Tai scold people?"
Yang Yidao: "Lao Tzu is most unaccustomed to these tedious things, just drink a drink, of course, you have to do what you want, why do you do so much red tape?"
As he spoke, he had already dried several bowls in a row, and a jar of wine had been drunk in an instant.
After drinking three jars of liquor in a row, Yang Yi stopped drinking, he stood up and sang drunkenly:
If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky.
If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth.
Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven.
I have heard that it is more than a saint, and it is as virtuous as a sage.
Since the sages have already drunk, why should they ask the gods.
Three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural.
But if you have fun in wine, don't pass it on to the awake.
He sang a few words, staggered Gu Caiyu up, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"
