Chapter 35 Tea and Wine

Hearing Li Tiancheng mention Liu Yun, Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Uncle Li, how do you know that Liu Dong she..." Did she say hello to you before?"

"That's right! Liu Dong called me before and asked me about you," Li Tiancheng glanced at Xiao Xiaobai sideways, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiaobai, I don't think Liu Dong knows you too well." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She called me specifically and asked me as if she knew I knew you, what was going on?"

Xiao Xiaobai, whose eyes flickered, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but suddenly say thoughtfully: "I understand! Uncle Li, that's the case, didn't I go to the hospital to save Aunt Li before? Later, before I left, I went to the bathroom, and when I came out to wash my hands, I found that a woman washing her hands opposite suddenly fainted, and I just helped her by hand. If my guess is correct, she should be Liu Dong. Later, when I came back, I found that the business card you gave me Uncle Li was gone, I guess I accidentally dropped it at that time, and it happened to be picked up by Liu Dong, so she called you to ask about me. ”

"Oh, I see!" Li Tiancheng nodded suddenly when he heard this, but he had some doubts about Xiao Xiaobai's statement that he just helped Liu Yun by the hand. Just helped him, Liu Yun called him specifically, and used her strength to let Xiao Xiaobai come out of the detention center, which is obviously unreasonable!

But Xiao Xiaobai didn't say it, and Li Tiancheng naturally wouldn't ask more. He also guessed that there might be some secrets in this, but it was related to Liu Yun, and he didn't dare to inquire casually. Li Tiancheng, who has been in the officialdom for many years, naturally understands that there are some things that he should know, and some things that he should not even inquire about.

Next, Xiao Xiaobai and Li Tiancheng, who were chatting casually, soon came to Li Tiancheng's house.

Li Tiancheng's house is a two-story old house, some years old, and the yard is much smaller than Qin Yunling's house, there is a jujube tree and a pomegranate tree planted in the courtyard, between the two trees is a small garden, surrounded by flowers and bonsai, and some home-cooked vegetables are planted in the garden.

As soon as he came to the courtyard, Xiao Xiaobai clearly heard the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen in the house, and could even smell the aroma of the vegetables clearly.

"I was going to go out to eat, but my mother had to cook at home," Li Tiancheng smiled a little helplessly, and said and hurriedly asked Xiao Xiaobai to walk to the living room on the first floor.

As soon as the two entered the living room, they saw Aunt Li, who was wearing an apron in the kitchen, walking out with a smile on her face and greeting Xiao Xiaobai warmly: "Xiaobai is here? ”

"Aunt Li, I'm sorry for you," Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but smile and said busily.

"Hey, what's the trouble? Why, I think my aunt is too old to even cook? Usually at home, it's not always me, an old woman, who cooks by herself. Today, it's just a matter of stir-frying a few more dishes," Aunt Li, who said with a smile, told Li Tiancheng to greet Xiao Xiaobai well, and then hurriedly went back to the kitchen.

"My mother is like this, she can't be idle!" Li Tiancheng, who shook his head and smiled, beckoned Xiao Xiaobai to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and then took out a pot of tea from the small cabinet on the side: "I don't have any big hobbies, but I like to drink tea." This can of tea is the new tea of this year's Longjing that I specially asked someone to buy from Hangzhou. ”

On the wooden tea table in the living room, a small stove that had already been placed to boil water was already steaming.

Li Tiancheng, who was sitting on the sofa on the side, waited until the water was completely boiled, and then began to skillfully clean the cup and wash the tea, and then brewed a cup and handed it to Xiao Xiaobai.

"Thank you!" Xiao Xiaobai, who took it with a smile, blew lightly, and waited until the tea was not so hot, so he took a sip.

Li Tiancheng, who also poured himself a cup of tea, couldn't help but smile and asked, "How is it?"

"Uncle Li, you told me that you played the piano to the cow for tea," Xiao Xiaobai shook his head and smiled: "When I was a child, Master taught me the tea ceremony. It's a pity that I wasn't interested in learning at that time, and Master was angry, so he simply didn't teach me. So, until now, my understanding of tea is just something that quenches thirst. ”

Li Tiancheng couldn't help laughing: "Hehe.. In fact, your last sentence is very good, this tea, in the final analysis, is a thirst-quenching thing. The tea ceremony is just something that the world has attached to it. ”

"However, drinking tea often can nourish the heart and stomach," Li Tiancheng turned to say, and couldn't help but talk about the tea ceremony to Xiao Xiaobai. And Xiao Xiaobai also listened more seriously and curiously. Watching Li Tiancheng preach the tea ceremony, Xiao Xiaobai suddenly recalled the scene when the old Taoist master taught him the tea ceremony when he was a child, but the old Tao's understanding of the tea ceremony is much stronger than Li Tiancheng's.

In a hurry, Li Tiancheng instilled a lot of knowledge of the tea ceremony in Xiao Xiaobai. When it comes to the tea ceremony, he is really like an expert, and he speaks in a low voice. However, the tone of the report made people feel awkward to hear.

While tasting tea, listening to Li Tiancheng talk about the tea ceremony, when Xiao Xiaobai drank the two cups of tea, he finally saw Aunt Li set up a table of sumptuous dishes, turned his head to look over here and greeted with a smile: "Okay, come over for dinner." ”

"Xiaobai, it's time to eat!" Li Tiancheng, who got up in response, was also busy greeting Xiao Xiaobai.

Xiao Xiaobai, who got up and came to the living room table with Li Tiancheng, was just warmly greeted by Aunt Li and sat down, when he saw Li Tiancheng take a bottle of Moutai from the Bogu shelf not far away, he couldn't help but get up and wave his hand and said, "Uncle Li, that, I won't drink." ”

"Hey, Xiaobai, how can this man not drink?" Li Tiancheng said: "You are almost eighteen years old, right? No one is born with a drink, isn't it all practiced?"

Aunt Li glared at Li Tiancheng, but still smiled and said to Xiao Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, drink it! It's okay, if you can't drink, drink less, your Uncle Li won't get you drunk." ”

"Okay then!" Seeing that Li Tiancheng had poured himself wine, Xiao Xiaobai, who was really gracious, nodded his head, and then couldn't help but say: "Uncle Li, that, I.. I've never drunk before, and I don't know how much I drink. Then if I really can't drink it later, you can't force me to drink it!"

Li Tiancheng nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you drink too much." You'll have to drink somewhat, though. ”

"Come, Xiaobai, I'll toast you first, thank you for saving my mother in the hospital," Li Tiancheng, who also poured himself a glass of wine, said busily toasting to Xiao Xiaobai.

Looking at this posture, Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, okay, I'll drink this glass of wine." But can we not drink so quickly? This one drinks on an empty stomach, it seems that it is easier to get drunk! Why don't we eat something to cushion our stomachs first?"

"Oh, yes, look at me, forget you're drinking for the first time. Drinking on an empty stomach is indeed easy to get drunk. Okay, let's eat first," Li Tiancheng nodded and put down his wine glass.

Aunt Li on the side also smiled and greeted: "Xiaobai, let's eat! You're welcome! Just like in your own home, don't see outside." You see, the eldest lady didn't prepare a few dishes here, and the greeting was not good, don't be surprised!"

"No, no!" Xiao Xiaobai, who picked up the chopsticks as he spoke, looked at the table that was almost full of plates and pots of dishes, and couldn't help but sweat secretly in his heart. If this table is still called no food, how can it be called a full banquet?

After eating some dishes, Li Tiancheng smiled again and toasted Xiao Xiaobai with a glass of wine.

Looking at Xiao Xiaobai's brows slightly condensed and his expression slightly tangled after a glass of wine, Li Tiancheng, who poured him wine again, couldn't help but smile and asked, "How is it, Xiaobai, how do you feel about drinking for the first time?"

"It tastes a little weird," Xiao Xiaobai said, taking a breath, and hurriedly stuffed some vegetables into his mouth with chopsticks.

Li Tiancheng had a stronger smile on his face: "Xiaobai, I drank like this at the beginning. Have a few more drinks and you'll slowly like it. ”

"Really, I'll try!" Xiao Xiaobai, who raised his eyebrows lightly, said and raised his head to drink the wine in the glass again, and smashed his mouth to taste it slightly, and then frowned and said: "This taste, I'm still a little unaccustomed." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Xiaobai, who seemed to be aware of it, touched his stomach and couldn't help but light up and said, "However, when you drink it in your stomach, the feeling of hot churning is very good!"

Soon, after three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and a bottle of Moutai went down for most of the time, looking at Xiao Xiaobai, who was more and more energetic the more he drank, Li Tiancheng couldn't help but say: "Xiaobai, you... Are you really fine? You're not drunk, are you?"

"No, I'm fine, it's just that my stomach burns quite badly, but this feeling is not bad," Xiao Xiaobai touched his stomach and grinned.

Hearing Xiao Xiaobai say this, Li Tiancheng suddenly couldn't help but wonder: "Xiaobai, you really have never drunk?"
