Chapter 196

At this time, a dignified old man and several attendants walked in. The shopkeeper caught a glimpse and quickly hugged and said, "three young Xia, if you want to drink, please go upstairs. Excuse me for the moment."

Then he greeted the old man, hugged his fist and bowed as he walked, smiled and said, "Oh, master Shan, you are a rare guest! Master Shan, it's a great honor for me to come to Guiyang restaurant. "

The old man looked arrogant, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "five days later, there will be an annual auction of rare goods. My Lord heard that there will be a jar of peerless wine for sale at this year's auction. I don't know whether it is true?"

The shopkeeper quickly stretched out his thick and short fingers, pulled them a few times, nodded and said, "yes, this year, there will be a jar of good wine auctioned in Baiying building. However, master Shan, no matter how valuable it is, it's just a jar of wine... "

The old man raised his hand and gently waved, "five days later, it's my father's 80th birthday. I came to buy this jar of wine and give it to my father as a birthday gift. My father has been a good drinker all his life. Now he is an old man. If he can find a jar of peerless wine to celebrate his birthday, he must be very happy. "

The shopkeeper said repeatedly, "master Shan is really filial!"

The old man walked upstairs. The shopkeeper saw them off. As soon as he turned around, he found that Wuji, Mo Ge and Tang Qi were still standing where they were.

Traceless seemed to inadvertently stick out his tongue and lick his lips. He looked at the shopkeeper with a smile in his eyes, which only made the shopkeeper hair in his heart. I heard no trace say, "peerless wine, what peerless wine?"

"Young Xia, do you want to buy it?"

"Shopkeeper, do you know what kind of wine it is?"

”The name of the wine is very strange. It's called "forget beauty". Every five years, it will appear on time at the annual rare goods auction in Baiying building. I don't remember which year it began to appear. The first two times, this jar of wine called "forget beauty" was ignored. But the third time, someone took a thousand liang of gold and drank with a girl in the Baiying building on the spot. At that time, the whole Baiying building was full of wine fragrance, and even the wine fragrance of "forgetting beauty" could be smelled on the Chung Ling River. Since then, this jar of wine has become one of the most valuable and rare items at the auction. It's a pity that the person who came to the auction to "forget the beauty" never showed up and never sold one more jar. Therefore, there are different opinions on the origin of this jar of wine“ Wuji, Mo Ge and Tang Qi were stunned when they heard this, and Wuji said in a voice: "red leaf distillery“ He remembered what Zhen madman said. The best wine comes from Hongye distillery.

The shopkeeper shook his head gently and walked away. No trace is still stunned. Mo Ge said, "even if 'forget beauty' comes from Hongye distillery, where are we going to find it“ The three were at a loss. They left the restaurant and inquired about everything, but they still got nothing.

Finally, Tang Qi thought of one thing and said, "since the auction is in Baiying building, the procuress of Baiying building naturally knows where the wine comes from“ Wu Ji and Mo Ge suddenly woke up when they heard the speech, but the three stood at the door of Baiying building and looked at Yingyan, who was still in a light gauze cage and was not afraid to go in.

The girls looked at the three of them standing at the door. Someone had already raised the silk in his hand and shouted, "three masters, come on, it's freezing and snowy. Why don't you come in and let me warm you up“ Wu Ji and Tang Qi have seen such a scene, and they can't help feeling uneasy. Mo Ge said with a smile, "two brothers, are you afraid of several girls“ They still hesitated, and Mo Ge grabbed Tang Qi and said, "brother Tang Qi, this is a happy place. As a man, if you don't have some fun, won't you come to this world in vain“ Don't wait for Tang Qi to react, he has dragged him to Baiying building.

The procuress had already met Tang Qi and grabbed him. Tang Qi was almost choked by the thick fat and powder on her and coughed.

Mo Ge looked back and saw that traceless was still hesitating, so he came forward and said with a smile: "traceless brother, if you want to drink the most beautiful wine in the world, don't be afraid to go to this place of wind and moon“ Surrounded by a group of thin and fat girls, the three entered the Baiying building. As soon as he entered the building, the procuress warmly ordered the girls to serve him. Mo Ge took out a ingot of fifty Liang silver from his arms, slapped it on the table and said, "girls, step back first! Leave your mother“ The procuress grabbed the silver ingot and said with a smile, "as long as there is silver, sir, you can do whatever you want“ Then he motioned the girls to step back and look at Mo Ge.

Tang Qi looked at the folds on the procuress's face that could not be filled with thick fat and powder, and couldn't help tumbling in his stomach.

”We want to ask you something“ Traceless came back and asked.

”Come on, what's up? It's not my boasting. There's nothing I don't know in the boundary of Guiyang. " Red leaf winery, have you ever heard of it“

The procuress seemed stunned and said, "why do you ask this“

”It's said that the good wine made by Hongye distillery is peerless. I want to try it“ The procuress shook her head and said, "you can't taste it“

Wu Ji, Mo Ge and Tang Qi were stunned and said in the same voice, "why“

”The wine of Hongye distillery is not easy to sell“

”Do you know where the red leaf winery is“

In the eyes of the procuress, Mo Ge took out a ingot of silver from his arms and gently put it on the table.

Tang Qi stared at the ingot of silver with regret in his eyes.

The procuress grabbed the silver and said, "the red leaf distillery is in the bamboo forest three miles away from the west of the city, just... Just..." Mo Ge smiled: "don't just! Thank you for telling me“

Tang Qi almost looked back step by step. He was not unwilling to give up the girl in the Baiying building, but was distressed about the two ingots of silver.

They went out of the Baiying building, had lunch in the Guiyang building and strode to the west of the city.

Hongye distillery is in the mountains outside the city. It is a bamboo forest for ten miles. The wine shop is in the bamboo forest, and a gravel path winds through the bamboo forest.

Fortunately, when they went out of the city gate, the wind and snow gradually stopped. All the way west, three miles later, the bamboo forest is in sight. After several days of wind and snow, the bamboo forest was covered with snow, and the bamboo poles were pressed down.

The three entered the bamboo forest and walked inside along the gravel road. The bamboo forest was dense. Without this gravel road, I'm afraid they would not be able to distinguish between East, West, North and south.

The path was winding and slowly extended to the mountain. Tang Qi said, "who will build a winery in the wilderness? I'm afraid he's crazy."

Mo Ge and Wu trace also felt a little strange, although they had long known that the red leaf distillery was in the mountains and didn't care at that time. But now I really come to this bamboo forest to find a winery. It's not unreasonable to think about Tang Qi's words.

How can a businessman build a winery in this wilderness and transport the wine out? Isn't it very inconvenient.

The three walked half a mile in the bamboo forest and gradually came to the hillside. A smell of wine came from their nose. Looking along the aroma, I can see that there are several huts hidden in the bamboo forest. If they are faint, the aroma of wine comes from where.

Tang Qi said, "there really is a wine shop in the mountain“

Five feet in front of the hut, I saw a gurgling stream in front of several huts, with clear water. A small bamboo bridge connects the two sides of the stream. Inside the hut, a figure seemed to shake.

Wuji saw the scene in front of him and thought of Yaoxian valley. It is so similar to Yaoxian valley. But in the stream, there is still a bamboo waterwheel, and a bamboo pole is led from the waterwheel to the hut. Presumably, the waterwheel is used to draw water from the mountain stream and send it to the hut for brewing. However, at this time, the waterwheel no longer rotates and squeaks in the stream.

Next to the waterwheel, two people are still standing, pointing to the waterwheel, but they are far away and can't hear what they say.

The three of them bypassed a green bamboo and came to one end of the bamboo bridge. They saw that there was still a welcoming door on the bamboo bridge, with a wooden plaque hanging on it and four large black characters: red leaf distillery.

The plaque must have been old and blackened, and the four words would have been blurred if they were not carefully identified.

The bamboo bridge is covered with snow. Although there are footprints, it is still white.

”Who? Who are you“

Suddenly, a voice came. The three men looked at the other end of the bamboo bridge and saw a man standing with his legs crossed, looking at Wuji and others.

”Is this the Hongye distillery“ Asked traceless.

The man snorted and said in a very bad tone, "are you blind? Can't you see the plaque on your head? "

Tang Qi said angrily, "how can you talk, you man? Let's ask you, "how did you hurt people?"

The man said, "I said so. How are you doing?"

Tang Qi said, "I think you want to be uncomfortable."

Traceless stretched out his hand to stop Tang Qi and said, "can you be angry at such a small matter?"

After that, he hugged his fist and said, "I heard that the red leaf distillery brews the best wine in the world. We are attracted by the name. I wonder if we can see it?"

The man said proudly, "that's right! I dare not say that it is the best wine in the world, but in this area of Guiyang, I dare to boast that no wine shop can compare with my red leaf wine shop. "

Tang Qi said, "it's nonsense. It's hard to see a bird in this remote place. You say your wine is the best in the world, so it's really the best in the world?"

The man said, "can you comment on the wine of Hongye distillery?"

Tang Qi was naturally unconvinced and was waiting to refute. He said, "I really came here from admiration. I hope you can give me some advice."

The man said, "the wine of Hongye distillery is divided into three grades. The first class naturally drinks the first class wine. I think you can drink the third class wine at most. If you want to drink, I'll have a bucket carried out and give you a taste? "
