Chapter 25: Guiyun Tower

Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in this era of commercial development, good wine has basically come out of the alley. They have settled in major restaurants and are used as signboards to attract customers. Maybe there is no good wine in a big restaurant, but where there is good wine, it must be a big restaurant, and the story of a remote wine shop hiding good wine is already a legend.

Liu Ping'an went directly to Guiyunlou, the largest restaurant in Taiyuan. Today, I got a subsidy of two taels of silver, and I have to treat myself well. A while ago, he was forced by silver in the capital to live in a guest room for 80 wen a night, and he had to eat a light meal at an inn with 20 wen a meal, which almost made him forget what it was like to be happy and revenge.

My generation of Jianghu people should have wine today and get drunk today. It's a big deal to spend all of today's subsidies. Last time in the Red Sleeves Building, it was only three taels of silver for a table, and it also included the pot of wine for two taels of silver. Why is Taiyuan's consumption one grade lower than that of Beijing?

In the mood of pure consumption, Liu Ping'an stepped into Guiyun Building. The service of the big restaurant is different, and Xiao Er greeted him warmly from the moment he entered the building.

"How much is the most expensive banquet here?" Liu Ping'an still asked safely, and he didn't come in and threw away the sentence directly: "Xiao Er, serve the most expensive wine in your store, and then have the best dishes on the table." ”

Silver determines attitude. When Xiao Er heard this, he thought it was a big customer, and hurriedly replied: "This master, do you want to book the best private room? Our best private room in Guiyun Building can be seated for only fifty taels of silver, and the best wine Luofu Chun is enough, and the dishes are also ninety-nine eighty-one and do not repeat everything! As long as you place an order one day in advance." ”

Liu Ping'an was taken aback, but fortunately he didn't make a fool of himself. Touching his nose, he said unnaturally: "Since you still have to book in advance, forget it." How much is a pot of your Luofu spring wine?"

"Luofuchun is our signature wine in Guiyunlou, famous far and wide. As long as five taels of silver can drink an altar, how many jars do you want?" Xiao Er replied enthusiastically.

Today, Liu Ping'an did not wear that set of executioner uniforms, but turned out a set of white chivalrous clothes when he walked the rivers and lakes, people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, Liu Ping'an is already tall, plus he also carries a sword on his back, and he is even more heroic, usually such chivalrous people are very bold, no wonder Xiao Er thinks he is a big customer.

Liu Ping'an sighed in his heart, all his belongings were not enough to drink a pot of wine. However, he remained silent, stretched out his hand to touch the coat, and exclaimed: "Do you have credit in the store? I forgot to bring my money bag to the inn." ”

Xiao Er was immediately not so enthusiastic, but he still said very politely: "I'm sorry, our store doesn't take credit, you can go back and get the money and come back." ”

Liu Ping looked very annoyed and said, "Forget it, do you have any cheaper wine?"

Xiao Er said formulaically: "We have one or two silver and one jar of Zhengyuan wine, and three taels of silver and one jar of Futou wine." ”

"Then bring me a Zhengyuan bar and a few snacks. Liu Ping'an didn't feel embarrassed at all. He added: "Just a braised pig's ear, a tiger skin peanut, and a fish head, and a bucket of white rice." ”

Although Guiyunlou is the largest restaurant in Taiyuan, the consumption on the first floor is not high, and the real consumption is high on the second and third floors. There are also many people like Liu Ping'an who only order a jar of wine and then add some side dishes, and more than ten tables on the first floor are already full.

Liu Ping'an looked around and found that there was only one old man's table and a table that could be set up. This old man was richly dressed and had an extraordinary appearance, although his hair was gray, he was clean and tidy, and he felt very comfortable.

Liu Ping'an walked over directly and said, "Uncle, set up a table to drink!" Although it was a tone of inquiry, he sat down directly opposite without waiting for the other party to answer.

The old man glanced at him, expressionless, and continued to drink to himself. There was a plate of peanuts and a small shot glass on the table. The old man drank very crisply, quickly and urgently, but he didn't drink directly to the mouth of the pot like some people who were not particular, insisted on pouring one cup after another, and took a sip of wine and a few peanuts.

It should be an old man with an identity, Liu Ping'an guessed.

It didn't take long for Xiao Er to send over the things that Liu Ping'an ordered, because Liu Ping'an ordered three dishes, and the table was a bit anti-guest-oriented, as if the old man was setting up his table. Originally, Liu Ping'an wanted to drink directly with the wine jar, which looked more heroic, but he was embarrassed by the old man opposite, and he also picked up the wine glass and drank it in small sips.

It's rare to have such an opportunity to drink, and it's rare to be generous once and I don't know when it will be next time. It's better to taste it slowly, and the wine for one or two silver is also high-end wine. However, for Liu Ping'an, it is also an entrance, at least it will not vomit out of the entrance like in the roadside shop a few days ago.

The old man must have been drinking for a long time, he picked up the wine jug and poured it, but it was already empty, and he didn't see it, so he lifted another wine jar on the table and poured a glass.

In addition to his wine jug on the table, another jar of wine is Liu Ping'an's. Liu Ping'an didn't say anything, just a glass of wine, or please. However, the old man frowned after drinking a glass, and sighed: "Look at you dressed like a wanderer, but you are not arrogant at all, and you are reluctant to order even Luo Fuchun." ”

Drinking other people's wine is still criticized, this old man is also thick-skinned, but Liu Ping'an is not angry, and replied: "Walking the rivers and lakes without stealing or robbing, it's good to have wine to drink, how can you pick and choose." ”

"Young people can't be defiled by copper, and only by looking at the long term can martial arts grow. After the old man finished saying this, he said no more, and lifted the wine jar with another glass, although it was not good to dislike this wine, but it was better to have wine than no wine.

The first floor of Guiyun Building is very noisy, there are many people, and the literacy is not even, and the guests on the second and third floors have to pass through the hall up and down, which seems very chaotic. However, Liu Ping'an has always liked such a place, he is a lively person, like when he used to live in the Zhuangyuan Inn, he liked to rest in the tea restaurant in the lobby and listen to the gossip of the people next to him.

It's a pity that he is not familiar with Taiyuan City, and the rivers and lakes that others say are a little far away from his rivers and lakes. But there are some things that I have heard a lot and have an impression, for example, several people have been talking about the 60th birthday of a person named Lu Sanye in Taiyuan City in two days.

Liu Ping'an and the old man opposite took turns to pick up the wine jar and pour the wine, but they did not communicate again. Liu Ping'an didn't know where to start, and the old man seemed to disdain to talk to him. Drinking other people's wine and treating others with contempt, this old man is also a strange person.

Liu Ping'an drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, lifted the wine jar and was about to continue pouring it, but suddenly felt a little inappropriate, and withdrew it violently.
