Chapter 213: No more than a hundred
It was noon the next day.
While Liang Yan was still meditating cross-legged in the room, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door and asked, "Is Junior Brother Liang here?"
"Here he is. Senior Brother Xue! "
Liang Yan stood up quickly and opened the door, only to see Xue Tianyu fully dressed and waiting for him at the door.
"Junior Brother Liang, it's getting late. The spiritual wine there is in short supply, and the limit is only a hundred jars a day. If you go there late, you may be disappointed."
"There is such a thing! Snow! Brother, if you didn't tell me earlier, let's set off immediately." Liang Yan smiled slightly, closed the door with his backhand, and walked out of the inn side by side with Xue Tianyu.
At this time, there was a carriage waiting at the door. It seemed that Xue Tianyu had already arranged it.
“It is forbidden to fly with a vehicle in this city, Junior Brother Liang, why don’t we learn from the common people today, drive on a trip, and drink fine wine together, wouldn’t it be wonderful?”
“Haha, Senior Brother Xue is really good at searching. Have fun, Liang will accompany you!" Liang Yan said, opening the door curtain and stepping into the carriage first. Xue Tianyu followed closely and sat down opposite him.
The carriage driver was a white-haired man with a pipe in his mouth. At this time, he swung his riding crop and slapped the old horse in front on the buttocks. The old horse was in pain. As the horse's hoof kicked, the wheels began to turn slowly, carrying Liang Yan and the two of them to the east gate of the city.
Liang Yan was sitting in the carriage, thinking that Xue Tianyu was going to ask questions again to find out his details. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have changed. Instead of asking, he talked about his past like bamboo shoots pouring beans.
This Xue Tianyu originally had a free and unrestrained temperament. Now in the carriage, he told his past stories mixed with some strange stories from the Yue Kingdom. Liang Yan listened with gusto. During this period, he even I couldn't help my curiosity and asked a few questions.
".That's it! I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhang Song to be so interesting. Just because of your unfounded words, he actually stayed outside a woman's boudoir for three days and three nights." Liang Yan said with a funny face.
"Haha, that's not true. It wasn't until the third night that he realized that this so-called 'beauty' was actually a seven-year-old baby. Her face at that time was exactly the same as a pig's liver!"
"Is it true, as you said, that he played the flute outside the window of this seven-year-old girl for three days and three nights, just to win the heart of the 'beauty'?" Liang Yan asked curiously.
"How can it be false? I lied to him and said this was one of the four golden flowers in the southeast of Yue Kingdom, and he believed it. Hey, no wonder he was annoying me at the time. It's tight, and I happened to take over an important task from the sect, so I had to make this decision."
"Haha, I didn't expect that Senior Brother Xue seems to be so stern on weekdays, but in private. You actually make this kind of joke. I saw you guys fighting each other in Xuanwu Pavilion a few days ago, and I thought you were incompatible with each other!"
Xue Tianyu smiled slightly after hearing this, and seemed to want to say something more. But I heard the coachman outside the car tighten the reins and said loudly:
"Two guests, the place has arrived!"
The two looked at each other in the car and smiled, then jumped out of the carriage.
After Liang Yan landed, he looked up and saw a wine shop built of mahogany and hay in front of him. It had three floors. The door lintel and window edges were all carved with patterns and leaves, making it look antique. There is also a bamboo pole stuck in the courtyard, with a piece of red cloth fluttering in the wind, and the five characters written clearly: "Nothing more than a hundred restaurants".
"A good one is no more than a hundred! Is it true that we only sell a hundred jars a day?" Liang Yan said with a sly smile.
At this time, Xue Tianyu had already paid the fare, turned around and said with a smile: "Brother, how could I lie to you? Let's go. If we go late, we might not be able to get a drink."
He said that he should lead the way first, Liang Yan followed closely, and the two of them walked into the hall one after the other. I saw that there were already many drinkers sitting on the first floor, most of them were monks in the middle stage of Qi refining. They were trying to persuade each other to drink, and they looked very happy.
At this time, a man who looked like a clerk came up to Liang Yan and smiled: "Oh, you two, it seems that you are not local monks, you look a bit unfamiliar."
Xue Tianyu nodded. He responded: "It is indeed our first time here, but we have already heard of the name of your restaurant." "Haha , there is no such thing as a reputation! Sir, if you drink to your heart's content, it's a good wine. If you don't drink it to your heart's content, it's useless to have a great reputation. Since it's your first time here, I'll take you to the private room upstairs. The environment is quiet and suitable for savoring slowly."
"That's what I meant!" Xue Tianyu said with a slight smile.
"Okay, please come upstairs!" The waiter stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Liang Yan and Liang Yan went straight to the second floor and sat down in a private room without refusing.
"Wait a moment, you two. The wine and food will be served soon." The waiter wiped the table and went downstairs.
After Liang Yan waited for him to leave, he immediately praised: "Senior Brother Xue really has a discerning eye. The so-called fragrance of wine does not have to be afraid of the depth of the alley. This wine shop is opened so far away from the town, but there are still so many places. Drinkers are coming, it seems it must be "Excellent wine, junior brother, I'm looking forward to it."
"Ha! Junior brother is indeed a sensible person!" I glanced out the window and suddenly As if remembering something, he said: "By the way, I forgot to tell the guy just now that this wine must be kept in a special container for a period of time before it can become more mellow and sweet."
He said Take out a bronze from the cuff Putting the small cauldron on the table, he said again: "Can I trouble Junior Brother Liang to go downstairs and hand this small cauldron into the hands of the clerk? Please be sure to put the wine in the small cauldron for half a stick of incense. No more time." , and absolutely no less!”
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Liang Yan reached out and took the small bronze cauldron on the table, played with it for a while, and finally nodded: "I'll go down now, senior brother, wait a moment."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the small cauldron and walked down the stairs.
Liang Yan came to the first floor of the wine shop and saw that in just a moment, there were already many more drinkers on the first floor. It was almost full, and the waiter seemed to be no longer in the hall.
He walked through the crowd and came to the counter. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, he saw a few people walking in at the gate.
The first person was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, with an emerald green bamboo flute stuck in his waist, with his hands behind his back, walking happily, like a graceful and elegant young man in troubled times.
There were two women behind him, one of them was dressed in red, with gleaming eyes, and her every move seemed to be very charming; while the other was dressed in green, with cold eyes, like an iceberg beauty.
As for the waiter from the shop just now, he is currently accompanying Mr. Jinpao, saying something with a flattering smile on his face.
“Huh?”
After entering the store, the brocade-robed young man’s eyes swept across the room, suddenly stopping on Liang Yan, and then looked at the small bronze cauldron in his hand for a moment, and finally spoke leisurely. Said:
“I have seen this cauldron before. Boy, are you from the Yungang Sect?”
Liang Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, and said calmly: "So what if it is, so what if it's not?"
"Bastard!"
A shout came, but it was the cold green-clothed man The woman took a step forward and saw her almond-shaped eyes widened, her eyebrows raised, and she shouted angrily: "You answer whatever the young man asks you! It's so unclear, I think you're tired of living!"
As she said this, she pulled out the sword from her waist and pointed it straight at Liang Yan. There was a chill in front of him, as if he was about to kill the person with his sword if he disagreed with her.
