Chapter 199

The snow in the valley was thicker, and the three men walked hard. The valley became narrow and the peaks on both sides became steep and tall. However, there are dense red leaf forests on the hillside. Although the snow is full of feet, you can still see red leaves in the snow.

A narrow entrance is like a ghost seeing sorrow stream, but the valley is not a bottomless abyss, but a winding path.

The three men walked through the winding canyon and suddenly opened their eyes.

I saw a flat land in the middle of the mountains. In addition to the red leaves on the hillside, the valley is full of green shadows. At a glance, the boundless bamboo forest is covered in snow, white and green. A gravel path winds into the bamboo forest without end. The snow on the road has been cleaned up, which is very eye-catching in the snow.

Tang Qi was stunned and said, "it seems that someone really lives here."

Mo Ge said, "it is somewhat similar to the fake red leaf distillery."

The three walked along the gravel road to the bamboo forest. Within half a mile, a middle-aged man in coarse cloth stopped them, hugged his fist and said, "what's the matter with you when you come to my clean place outside the world?"

Traceless saluted: "uncle, this is where the red leaf distillery is located?"

The man looked suspiciously at Xiang Wuji, Mo Ge and Tang Qi. After pondering for a moment, he said: "the Red Leaf Valley is far away from the world, and the red leaf distillery is hidden. How did you find me here?"

No trace smelled the speech and knew that there was indeed a red leaf distillery here.

Tang Qi said, "red leaf distillery? Can't it be another fake? "

Tang Qixin spoke quickly, traceless, and Mo Ge wanted to stop it. He had said it.

"Fake?"

The man didn't get angry. He looked at them calmly and said, "this little brother is joking. The red leaf winery is not a century old shop, let alone a famous wine workshop. How is it worth counterfeiting?"

Tang Qi said, "yes, I think the red leaf distillery is just an exaggeration of madmen. How can the best wine in the world come from this wild mountain and valley where birds don't shit?"

The man said, "the best wine in the world?" Then he smiled and said, "I haven't heard of the best wine in the world in Hongye distillery for nearly 30 years. Where did you hear it?"

Wuji said: "we are really attracted by the wine of Hongye distillery. Although we don't say it's the best in the world, there is absolutely no distillery in Guiyang that can match the wine made by it. I hope uncle will lead the way. Let's go and see. "

The man said, "do you like drinking? Or do you know wine? "

Traceless smiled, "I don't understand, but I like drinking."

The man "ha ha" smiled and said, "well, it's really not easy for you to come in the snow. I'll lead you to have a look, but I'm afraid you'll disappoint the three."

Traceless didn't care about his words, thinking that he might be modest.

The three men walked into the depths of the bamboo forest with the man. Before they saw the wine shop, they smelled a fragrance, a fragrance with intoxicating wine.

Without trace, Mo GE's spirit was refreshed. Tang Qi also sniffed hard and said in amazement: "if there is a winery here, the wine here should be good."

Several people turned a corner, and their eyes were bright again. They saw several tile roofed houses hidden in the bamboo forest. In the chimney on the tile roofed house, white smoke curled slowly into the air. In front of the tile roofed house, there are dozens of large vats, which are sealed with yellow mud. There are still two large VATS open. A man is stirring them with a bamboo pole.

Wu Ji, Mo Ge and Tang Qi approached, and the wine became more fragrant. The three men looked into the big jar and saw that the jar was full of bad wine. It was fermenting. As soon as the man stirred it, the aroma smelled, making people drunk.

Not far from one side of the tile roofed house, there is a pavilion with red columns, green tiles and white jade fence, which looks very elegant and implies a bit of luxury.

The man said, "three, please wait in the pavilion until I ask the shopkeeper to come out."

Tang Qiza said, "this is like a wine shop. It seems that there is good wine to drink."

On the Zhu lacquer column of the pavilion, there is still a pair of couplets. The first couplet is: green wine and red leaves welcome the rising sun, and the second couplet is: Yellow Warblers and purple swallows dance in the spring wind. On the lintel, there is a plaque reading: red leaves leave fragrance.

Traceless said, "it seems that this is the red leaf distillery."

Not long after, I saw the man leading a half hundred old man in a Royal Regiment hat striding forward. From a distance, I heard the old man's hearty laughter and said, "there are distinguished guests in the wilderness. No wonder there are magpies singing in the forest these two days."

While talking, the old man had come to the pavilion and saluted with fists.

No trace saw that he was elegant, round face, white skin and smiling, which was somewhat similar to the shopkeeper of Guiyang building. "This is what a businessman should look like," he said in his heart

The three of them had seen each other salute with fists, and Wu trace asked, "how dare you ask, sir, but is this the boss of the red leaf distillery?"

The old man "ha ha" said with a smile: "what boss, I'm just running on behalf of others. Dongweng wanders away all year round and rarely comes back once. It's up to the old man to decide everything here. The old man's surname is Chen and his name is Fu. Call me old man Chen. "

Without trace, the three people were stunned. Tang Qi said, "Chen Fu? You said your name was Chen Fu? Do you have someone here called Chen San? "

The man standing aside to lead the way said in amazement, "so you know our names? I am Chen San. "

This time, the traceless three were even more stunned. They looked at Chen Fu and Chen San. Traceless murmured, "you... Do you really call Chen Fu and Chen San?"

Chen Fu said, "can this be false? The old man's name has been used for decades and has never changed. Chen San also followed me from urination. How can I fake it“ Traceless said: "it seems that those people must be fake. Hongye distillery is fake. Even their names are fake. In this way, they know the red leaf winery. But why did he fake it and make it difficult“ How could he not understand that counterfeiting, cheating and not for profit were just for the moment? Isn't it incredible that so many people's elaborate scams are just to ridicule and make things difficult for them?

Since it's incredible, naturally I don't understand. I'm just too lazy to think about it.

”It seems that we misunderstood! Before I came here, I met several people who not only pretended to be Hongye distillery, but also pretended your name and surname, so we were surprised“ No trace said.

When Chen Fu heard the speech, his eyes stared like eggs and said in amazement, "who is so boring that he pretended to be my red leaf distillery and old man and Chen San“ Traceless shook his head and said, "we don't know why they do this. Now that I have arrived at the real red leaf distillery and met the real shopkeeper Chen, I don't think about them anymore. " By the way, why did you three suddenly visit my red leaf distillery“ Tang Qi said, "if you come to your wine shop, you will naturally drink. What else can you do?" No no no! Little brother, that's not true! When you drink, you should go to the restaurant. How can you come to the restaurant“ Traceless smiled, "the three of us heard that the wine made by Hongye distillery is a rare wine in the world. Although not the first in the world, there is absolutely no other wine in Guiyang. The three of us are all good drinkers. We come here admiringly. I hope shopkeeper Chen doesn't hide his secrets“ Chen Fu said, "where did you hear the gossip? If Hongye distillery can brew what you call good wine, how can it be so unknown? It must be that someone exaggerates deliberately, which makes you work hard in vain“ Traceless said, "in five days, there will be an auction in Baiying building. I heard that there is a jar of peerless wine called "forget the beauty" among the auction items. This wine comes out only once every five years and is sold at a sky high price every year. I dare to ask, "is this' forgetting beauty 'from Hongye distillery?"

"Forget beauty?"

Chen Fu was obviously surprised when he arrived. His eyes flashed doubt and looked traceless.

"The old man has heard of 'forgetting beauty' and knows' forgetting beauty '. But how can you think that "forgetting beauty" comes from my red leaf distillery? "

Tang Qi said, "why is the name of this wine so strange? What's the name 'forget beauty', does it have any special meaning?"

This sentence is not only the confusion in Tang Qi's heart, but also the confusion in Wu trace and Mo GE's heart.

"Wake up and forget your beauty." Chen Fu suddenly took a long sigh of relief and said slowly, "there is an allusion to 'forgetting beauty'."

Wuji, Mo Ge and Tang Qili were interested. Qi Qi asked Chen Fu to sit down and Wuji said, "please tell us this story, shopkeeper Chen, so that we can have a long experience."

Shopkeeper Chen sat down slowly and said, "Chen San, ask the kitchen to fry some dishes today and prepare some jars of good wine from my red leaf restaurant. Let these three distinguished guests have a good taste."

Chen San promised and bowed down. Wuji, Mo Ge got up and thanked him. Wuji said, "leader Chen is polite. We are flattered."

Chen Fu smiled and said, "thank you for looking up to my red leaf distillery and saying that the best wine in Guiyang comes from my red leaf distillery. How can I not invite you to drink a few jars to show my gratitude?"

Traceless said, "it's better to obey orders than to be respectful! Today's trip to Hongye distillery is worth it. It's really a lucky trip to listen to the origin and allusions of "drunk beauty" and taste the nectar and jade liquid of Hongye distillery. "

Chen Fu said: "this' forgetting beauty 'was nothing special, but because the people who brewed the wine had an unusual experience, it made the wine have a mysterious color."

The three quietly looked at Chen Fu, waiting for him to say the origin of "forgetting beauty".
