"Waiter, what dishes will be served as soon as possible!"

"Stew, white meat is so good!"

"Cook a pot of rice and bring it to you. What kind of drinks do you have?"

"The shop sells millet wine, koji wine, and Huaiyang pear wine. However, the local wine heroes think the fruit wine is a bit sour. I wonder if you two can get used to it?"

The Xie brothers, who were preparing to go home, found that it was still early after leaving Li Kui's residence. If they hurried on, they might miss their meals on the way. So they found a food shop to fill their stomachs.

Although they don't have much money anymore, they still have money for meals.

They could get home in two days, and they didn't care about spending all their money. When Jie Wan heard about drinking, he stopped his elder brother Jie Qian and said, "Brother, I don't want any more wine."

"That's right. Drinking will ruin things. Don't delay your journey." Jie Qian said to the disappointed waiter: "That's it. Prepare some dry food for our brothers to eat on the road. We will take it with us after eating."

"Okay, Sir, I'll wait a minute, and I'll tell the kitchen to prepare it right away."

As he spoke, he wiped the table with a linen cloth, looking quite capable. In a blink of an eye, the waiter came again, carrying a plate of crispy radish that went with wine. After being sprinkled with sesame oil and condiments, the fragrance was fragrant.

What's even more annoying is that the waiter placed a drinking hat in front of each of them, deliberately seduce the alcohol bug in the Xie brothers' stomachs.

Jie Qian stared at this useless plate of delicious dishes. He regretted not ordering wine just now. Ordinary wine is not expensive. Only good and famous wines are sold in the best restaurants, so the price can be compared with gold and silver. But

Ordinary food shops and small restaurants can produce any good wine. A jar of wine weighing three to four kilograms is not much more expensive than a plate of meat. The Xie brothers have a good drinking capacity. Drinking a little can not only drive them on the road.

Even if it's cold, it won't delay things.

Jie Wan complained a little that the waiter was too busy, but this was the store's usual tactic to attract business. Besides, it was all up to the customer whether to order wine or not. The store also offered a supplementary plate of refreshing dishes. He wanted to accuse the store of being unscrupulous, but he didn't.

A suitable reason.

"Brother, Brother Renjie gave you a bottle of wine before he left. How about..."

"Yes, what Renjie sent must be good wine. Wait, I will get it."

Jie Qian rummaged through the bag for a while, took out the wine that Li Kui gave him, and took out a piece of silver. He was a little dumbfounded. He sighed and said: "I guess it was Renjie who stuffed this silver in the bag while we were not paying attention."

You and I have become our burdens. You are an outstanding person, and you are truly a knight with loyalty, and we are truly grateful."

The two brothers sighed for a while, then scraped the beeswax-sealed wine bottle clean with a knife. After uncorking the bottle, a strong smell of wine rushed out of the bottle. Jie Qian had never smelled anything like this in his life.

The strong smell of alcohol made his body feel like a dry river bed, and he gradually woke up after encountering a heavy rain.

Not only is the smell of alcohol strong, but it also has a strong medicinal smell.

The Xie brothers looked at each other and poured the wine into a bamboo hat cup. The wine soup was clear, as pure as amber. It looked like millet wine, but the strong smell of wine told them that the wine in this bowl was not millet wine, but rice wine.

A silent flame contains infinite energy.

The smell of alcohol not only subdued the Xie brothers, but also attracted the shopkeeper and customers from the restaurant.

"My dear friend, what kind of wine is this?"

"Guests, where does this wine come from? Can I have a look at it?"

"Shopkeeper Wang, don't think about it. You can't afford to sell this kind of wine even if you sell this tavern."

The speaker rudely pointed out that Jie Qiandai's wine was different: "Look at the wine bottle, but Huzhou Yingqing's high-quality porcelain bottle is not a treasure that ordinary people can afford. It's just that the wine is too strong.

, as hard to tame as a fierce horse, but it’s a pity that we ordinary drinkers are not blessed to endure it.”

The shopkeeper was ignored by the customers, and he suddenly became unhappy with a straight face: "I can eat some myself, can't I?"

"With your stingy temperament, how can you let it go?"

"You two, can you let me have a taste of this wine? Just a little, as long as... this little bit is enough. I will pay for the meal for you two, how about that?" The person who spoke is also a good drinker.

He gestured with the depth of his fingernails, wanting to beg for something to try. It wasn't free of charge, he paid for the meals of the Xie brothers.

The Song Dynasty encouraged wine making and the people to drink. For the Song Dynasty, wine tax accounted for a very large tax source in the Song Dynasty's finance. From the nobles to the common people, there was almost no Song person who was not good at drinking.

Seeing that there were more and more people around him, Jie Qian suddenly felt a little dizzy. He stretched out his arms and said to the people around him: "This wine was given as a farewell gift from a friend. Don't look at it. There are only so many. I won't be able to keep you all occupied. It's been delayed."

I'm really sorry for your inconvenience."

After saying that, Xie Qian cupped his hands and expressed that he could not help.

The person who begged for it was a little disappointed. Seeing that he couldn't taste it, he could only yell at the side: "You two, try it quickly, don't let the smell of alcohol get away."

There were two main types of wine making in the Song Dynasty, grain wine and fruit wine. Among fruit wines, pear wine was the most famous. But it was limited to this, because fruit wine could not be deacidified and its taste was much inferior to grain wine. Among grain wines,

Millet wine is the most common. Good millet wine is as clear as amber, without any turbidity.

In fact, it is the rice wine of later generations, but most of the rice wine of later generations is brewed with glutinous rice. The reason... The wine yield of rice wine is very low and the cost is high. After glutinous rice is brewed, the wine yield is greatly improved, and the price of glutinous rice is also high.

low.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jie Qian picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip. People in the Song Dynasty drank this way in this era, mainly because the wines available on the market were low-alcohol wines. When encountering unscrupulous businessmen, they would

The purchased wine was mixed with water and sold, and it didn't even taste like wine. People in the Song Dynasty liked to drink heavily, and they would often drink a bowl without changing their facial expressions and their hearts would not beat.

As soon as the wine entered his mouth, Xie Qian felt his throat hurt as if he had been pulled by a knife. When the wine entered his stomach, a flame was ignited and soared into the sky. Jie Qian was speechless at all and hurriedly used chopsticks to pick it up

After taking two bites of the food, I felt that the burning sensation in my mouth had subsided a little, but my face was already slightly red, and my whole body felt warm and comfortable.

Xie Qian exhaled a strong breath of alcohol and shouted: "It's so refreshing! It's so refreshing!"

Jie Wan's eyes were filled with heat and he asked softly: "Brother, how are you doing?"

"It's like a good wine like a ball of fire, but it's too strong and the taste is too spicy, but the alcohol smell is very strong, so no one but a hero can drink it."

Two brothers, you take a sip, and I take a sip. After taking a sip, your face feels as if you have eaten the sour apricot, and your five senses are all gathered together. And the more you drink the wine, the hotter your body becomes. It doesn’t look like a pound of wine, but

Drinking turned into a restless state of lust. After the two of them had had enough wine and food, they originally wanted to leave the city, but by some strange mistake, they made a sudden turn and went deep into the alley.

The house suddenly became deserted, which made Li Yun, who was used to liveliness, very uncomfortable.

The hatred for Ruan Xiaoer is getting stronger and stronger, but I don’t know where this kid is now. I want to teach him a lesson, but I can’t find anyone.

"Second brother, are you going out?"

Li Kui got up early in the morning, put a heavy hat on his hair and a mandarin, and was getting ready to go out.

The heavy-wearing hat is also called a big hat, which is a large-brimmed hat made of black linen. Officials and scholars like to wear it when they are outside. After this kind of hat was introduced to Korea, it was regarded as a standard by the Koreans, and everyone with some status wanted to wear it.

Get a facade.

After Li Yun yawned and pushed the door open, he saw Li Kui dressed as if he was about to go out. He immediately became angry because he was trying to cause trouble behind his back!

Li Kui raised his eyes and said, "If you want to go out together, hurry up."

"Why should I go out?" Li Yun said arrogantly that he would not follow Li Kui's back, and he was also a person with ideas.

Li Kui smiled meaningfully and said: "If you plan to cook and eat at home, I won't stop you, but if you want me to bring you food, don't dream about it."

Li Kui was also helpless. He originally planned to stay in Qizhou for a day and then leave. Unexpectedly, he was delayed. Of course, Li Kui would not adapt if the unknown cook was in front of him.

"Second brother, you are too lazy from Qizhou. You don't even have a cook to prepare food for you. It's quite troublesome to get up so early in the morning and go out for the morning meal."

Li Yun talked nonchalantly, but his hands were not idle. He grabbed whatever he could and put it on his body. Finally, he jumped on his feet and followed Li Kui out of the yard.

When I came to the street, I was immediately attracted by the lively scene of Qizhou.

I have to say that Qizhou has a really large population. Compared with it, Yizhou is simply a rural place. Although Yizhou is several times larger than Qizhou, there are two buildings on the ground in Yizhou in later generations.

It is widely spread that one of the mountains is called Yishan and the other is called Mengshan. Together they are called the Yimeng Mountain District. It is a mountainous area with a vast area and sparsely populated areas, but it is of no use at all because of its large territory.

Qizhou is different. The Guangji Canal passes through here. In addition, there is no shortage of water around it, there are many plains, and the land is fertile. It has always been a densely populated area.

The streets are full of people, which makes the tall Li Kui uncomfortable. Mainly because he often bumps into people, which makes him feel as if he is walking in water.

He turned his long legs and turned onto an alley. After passing through the alley, he finally felt that there were fewer people. Li Kui swiped left and right on the street, looking for a pleasant restaurant.

However, he felt that he had gone to the wrong place. The tip of his nose could vaguely smell the smell of powder, and it was the kind of cheap powder, which was a bit harsh.

"Second brother, do you think those two are Jie brothers?"

Li Yun raised his hand and pointed at two young people who were being entangled in front of a red building. One look at the backs of these two people showed that they were tall men, but they were held back by several women. There was nothing they could do. Looking at their backs, they were too

We are familiar with each other, not to mention the back, the familiar big iron gun, and the rare purple gold hammer. If they are not the Jie brothers, who else could they be?

brush--

Li Kui pulled out the folding fan from his waist and walked to the Xie brothers. Only then did he hear why the Xie brothers were arguing with each other. The other party insisted that the Xie brothers should pay double the money, otherwise the girl would not agree.

This seemed a bit strange, but Li Kui quickly figured out that it was probably the tiger bone wine that was to blame. He had brewed this thing two years ago. The wine was a high-strength three-distilled wine, plus tiger bones and ginseng.

A lot of medicinal materials were put in, I dare not say Shiquan Dabu, but it is not much different. But Li Kui, the person who made it, did not dare to drink it himself. The first test product was Uncle San. After drinking it, the old man became more and more tired.

Spiritual. However, the third uncle is very restrained and does not drink too much every time. He is satisfied with just two or two.

Besides, the third uncle is an old man in his early seventies. Since drinking tiger bone wine, his waist is no longer sore, his legs are no longer painful, and it seems that the rheumatism he suffered for many years has been cured. Besides, drinking causes trouble, and he doesn’t even look at San.

How old is my uncle? When an ordinary person reaches his age, the thief in his heart will not go away, but the thief in his body will have long since escaped.

Anyway, the third uncle drinks well and doesn't cause trouble. But the Xie brothers are different. At such a young and vigorous age, even if there is no thief in his heart, one will be seduced.

The two Xie brothers drank a pound, which probably caused some problems. Li Kui secretly felt lucky that he had not drank, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.

Li Kui smiled knowingly and gloated: "The flag was raised in the small building last night. How many times did the general fight in the formation?"
