- Chapter 273 Ice and Fire
From the outside, this tavern has a simple style of the Qin and Han Dynasties. It seems that it has not been repaired for decades. The traces of the years are fully visible, which makes people lack the interest to step in. However, when you enter the tavern, you will inevitably be surprised. Inside, it is extremely popular. It was prosperous, with more than a dozen tables almost full, and it was extremely lively.
People greeted Guo Xiang one after another and resumed their own bustle. The two-story tavern was steaming with steam and the aroma of wine was strong. It was indeed a very suitable atmosphere for drinking.
Following the bartender Xiao Zhao through the crowd and onto the second floor, Xiao Yuesheng and Guo Xiang's snow-white mink furs looked a little out of place here, but people didn't think it was strange. They had no sense of distance from Miss Guo Er, who had a bold temperament. , greeting cordially from time to time.
Going up to the second floor, there were not many seats and it was very quiet. The two of them found a place where they could see below, right against the faded railing.
After Xiao Zhao took off the white towel hanging on his shoulders and quickly wiped the tables and chairs, Guo Xiang couldn't wait to sit down and was in high spirits, as if every part of her body was singing happily.
"Hmm, what kind of wine would you like?" Guo Xiang pressed his green-white index finger on his pointed chin, frowned and thought for a while, hesitated, and said to Xiao Zhao, who was looking at him longingly: " Let¡¯s have a bowl of ice and fire bar first!¡±
"Okay - oh -, a jar of ice and fire wine!" Xiao Zhao shouted loudly, bowed hurriedly, and ran away hastily. Under Xiao Yuesheng's faint majesty, his legs trembled, and he was almost exhausted. The ground will not be able to hold on.
Knowing that her brother-in-law was very picky, Guo Xiang felt embarrassed and finally chose the strongest wine in this tavern. In terms of mellow aroma, all the wines here were hard to beat, so she could only hope to attract him with its strong taste.
"This place really doesn't look like a war-torn place!" Xiao Yuesheng looked around. Sighing with emotion, he lazily took off his mink fur and cloak.
Guo Xiang hurriedly stood up and took over her brother-in-law's mink coat, then took off her own, folded it carefully, and placed it on the chair next to her.
The thin apricot-yellow shirt didn't feel cold at all in this steaming room, but instead revealed her slender figure.
Guo Xiang put her arm on the old table and supported her delicate chin: "Although Xiangyang City is always attacked, it is not afraid. The Mongols are coming, and it is not too late for the people in the city to evacuate!"
In fact, since Xiangyang City implemented the scorched earth strategy, most of the people in the city have evacuated. However, during the Spring Festival, the Mongols are certainly unable to send troops. During the Spring Festival, people miss their relatives even more. During the Spring Festival, people always return to the city. The popularity here is booming again.
When the Mongolian troops came, people withdrew from the city and hid elsewhere. It became a habit for people in Xiangyang City to live in two places a year.
"The wine here must be very good. That's why you come here often, Xiang'er." Xiao Yuesheng teased his sister-in-law, looking sideways at the people below, pushing glasses and changing glasses, in full swing.
The bold shouts, curses and laughter rang out from time to time. They were bold and tough, which was indeed different from the people from Jiangnan that Xiao Yue had seen in her life.
Guo Xiang is a little shy and embarrassed. She regrets bringing her brother-in-law here. She likes drinking, which is not a woman's virtue.
"Second young lady, I haven't seen you for a while -!I heard. Did you go to the eldest lady's house?"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from downstairs, waking up Guo Xiang who was immersed in regret.
"Yes, Uncle Sun, I'm going to the eldest sister's house!" Guo Xiang turned sideways, holding on to the railing, and answered downstairs with a smile.
What she looked at with gleaming eyes was the middle-aged man downstairs near the door, with a full beard and a brown short coat. The body is strong and strong. His hoarse voice adds to his heroic temperament.
Although amidst the commotion, Guo Xiang¡¯s voice was soft and gentle. But it rang clearly in their ears, making the room much quieter. Even though people were still talking, their eyes would glance at Guo Xiang from time to time, and their ears would stand up, paying attention to Guo Xiang.
"Sohow are you doing, Miss?" The man surnamed Sun with piercing eyes looked eager, but his words were a little hesitant and a little embarrassed.
Everyone in the tavern suddenly focused their attention on Guo Xiang. They could no longer pretend to be pretentious, and their concern was palpable.
"It's very good Sister's life couldn't be better!" Guo Xiang replied in a leisurely voice, still chatting and laughing, not timid about the attention of everyone.
"That's good! That's good! If the eldest lady is bullied there, all of us in Xiangyang City will not spare my uncle!" The big man surnamed Sun breathed a sigh of relief, sometimes relaxing and sometimes gritting his teeth. .
"Then I would like to thank you all on behalf of my eldest sister!" Guo Xiang giggled and glanced at her brother-in-law opposite. Seeing his forced smile, she smiled even more cheerfully.
"I say, Mr. Sun, just put your heart in your belly!" A few tables away, another voice sounded, and it was also very rough. The person who made the voice had a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and was powerful. Strong, sitting at the table, his strong body as straight as a pine tree, with an awe-inspiring murderous aura.
At this time, he was holding a sea bowl, swallowing a sip of wine, wiping the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and laughed: "With the eldest lady's unparalleled appearance, which man in the world has the heart to bully her?!"
"Exactly!" "Polite!" Echoes echoed endlessly.
In their minds, the eldest lady of the Guo Mansion is really a fairy-like figure. Not only is she beautiful in appearance, but she also has a gentle and calm personality. Even though her temper is a little indifferent, she is more refined. Who can marry her as their wife? How can we not treat the blessings gained through ten lives as treasures? !
Everyone's discussion fell into the ears of Xiao Yuesheng and Guo Xiang. The latter looked at his brother-in-law with a smile, unusually bold, his bright eyes did not blink, and he concentrated on studying every move of his brother-in-law's eyebrows or the corners of his mouth.
Listening to the discussions downstairs, everyone regarded himself as a ruthless character who could destroy flowers, as if they would definitely abuse Guo Fu, which really made him laugh bitterly.
"Sister-in-law, second lady, the wine is here!" The bartender Xiao Zhao bravely came to Xiao Yuesheng's table and forced a smile.
He was carrying a half-large wine jar weighing about five kilograms in one hand, and a square plate in the other hand. On the plate was a plate of braised beef and a plate of plain side dishes, passing between the tables and chairs like a butterfly through flowers and arriving upstairs. The scene made people couldn't help but sweat for him, but he remained calm.
"Oh. Thank you so much, Xiao Zhao!" Guo Xiang stretched out her white and crystal clear hands and took over the dark wine jar. The expression on her beautiful face was quite complicated, which made Xiao Yuesheng couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Xiao Zhao hurriedly saluted and stepped back. The rhythm of his steps was several times different from when he came.
Guo Xiang skillfully turned over the two large bowls that were upside down in the center of the table, and wiped off the sealing mud with her small white hands on the mouth of the wine jar. The rich mellow aroma immediately hits your nose.
Guo Xiang couldn't help but take a deep breath. The mellow aroma was irresistible. She carefully tilted the wine jar and poured the slightly yellowed wine into a rather rough ceramic bowl.
"Daddy, please try it. The ice and fire wine here is unique. There is no other." Guo Xiang put down the dark wine jar and pushed the filled black pottery bowl in front of Xiao Yuesheng with a smile.
¡°Oh¡ª¡ª?¡± Xiao Yuesheng became somewhat interested. He just drank the contents of the cup as a drink. After all, drinking water was too boring. When he saw a new drink, he was naturally a little excited and curious.
"Good wine!" Xiao Yuesheng put down the big bowl. I couldn't help but slap the table and praise loudly.
It is not easy to get this compliment from him. The ordinary good wine is in his mouth. I can barely drink it.
Not to mention that he is a picky person, even if he is an ordinary person, after drinking Biwu Ziheng and other wines, drinking other wines will inevitably be like drinking plain water and tasteless.
A large gulp of wine flowed down his throat and into his stomach. He felt like an ice spring in summer, cold to the core.
Before I had time to taste it, a ball of fire suddenly rose in my belly, went straight to the top of my head, and exploded like fireworks, opening all the pores in my body, making me feel indescribably comfortable.
Guo Xiang picked up the big bowl with her two little hands, raised her head and took a sip, while sprinkling a few drops.
"Good wine¡ª¡ª!" She put down the big bowl. He sighed comfortably. No brocade handkerchief was used, just the apricot-yellow sleeves were used to wipe the delicate and white corners of the mouth. Very arrogant.
"Yo¡ª¡ª! Isn't this Boss Qian? But the day has not come yet!"
There was a sudden noise downstairs, causing the two people who were concentrating on tasting wine to turn around and look down. They saw a man lifting the thick carpet curtain and walking in calmly. People around him greeted him one after another.
"Who is this?" Xiao Yuesheng leaned forward and asked softly, looking at Guo Xiang, who had pink cheeks.
"Uncle Qian is a businessman, and he tells the story very well." Guo Xiang's bright eyes glanced downstairs, then returned to his brother-in-law's face, and answered quietly.
Although Guo Xiang likes to drink, her drinking capacity is very different from that of her sister Guo Fu. In addition, the ice and fire wine is extremely strong. After one sip, the wine's strength surged, and she was already slightly tipsy.
Uncle Qian was in his forties, with a medium build, neither fat nor thin, with a weathered face, but bright eyes and full of energy. He kept holding his hands, greeting each other step by step, and found a place in the middle of the lobby. , sat down at the remaining empty seat at a table with only three people.
"Old Qian, I heard that you went to Lin'an this time?" After he finished ordering the food and drinks, the man at the same table couldn't wait to ask.
"Yes, I went to Lin'an City." Old Qian nodded, drooped his eyes, and took out a cloth bag from his arms.A cigarette pot was quickly filled with tobacco, lit, took a heavy puff, then exhaled white smoke, and relaxed his brows.
"Is it going well? I heard that it was not a peaceful journey!" someone asked next to me.
"Hahadon't say it, it's true, it's really unfair!"
Old Qian laughed. This pack of cigarettes seemed to cheer him up. His eyes lit up and his voice was so loud that the entire tavern's voice was suppressed.
Before anyone else could answer, he looked frightened, shook his head and sighed: "This time, thanks to Lao Suntou's advice, I took Ziming's carotherwise, I wouldn't be able to see you all! "
"Well, if you want to walk in the less peaceful areas, you still have to take the open-car and underground train." Someone next to him agreed.
"Old Qian, have you gone to Jiaxing City?"
"I didn't go!" Lao Qian blew out the smoke, shook his head, and then laughed: "but I did find out some news about the eldest lady!"
"Is there any news about the eldest lady?! Tell me, isn't she married to a family from Jiaxing City?!"
Someone asked impatiently, and the people drinking around them all turned their attention. Obviously, this question resonated with everyone.
"Our eldest uncle is not a simple person. He has a lakeside residence in Lin'an City. It is so famous that no one in Lin'an City knows about it!"
"Oh?There are rumors that the famous Thunder God Claw in the martial arts world is a disciple of my uncle! I don't know if it is true or not!"
"It's true, this news is absolutely true! Everyone in the Guo Mansion knows about this matter, but Guo Daxia is modest and ordered it, so no one spread it out!"
"No wonder!No wonder the eldest lady knew that my uncle had a wife, but she still insisted on marrying her. It turns out that my uncle is such a powerful person!"
Sounds of exclamation kept ringing out, and people showed signs of enlightenment and couldn't help but raise their bowls to drink.
"What do you mean by an expert? Someone like my uncle is an expert!" One person shook his head in admiration, and his eyes widened. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and sighed as if he was an old scholar reading: "Hidden things are hidden, and the real person does not show his face. Ah!This is the master!"
Guo Xiang, whose cheeks were flushed, listened to the discussion of the people downstairs, looked at her brother-in-law with a pursed lips, and saw that he had a calm face, gently shaking the rough pottery bowl, and just staring at the half bowl of wine. It was as if she had never heard the praise below, and she was a little surprised. She originally thought that her brother-in-law would shake his head and smile bitterly.
Xiao Yuesheng was already numb to hearing these words, and did not feel anything new at all. He went in with his left ear and out with his right ear, or went in with his right ear and went out with his left ear. His attention was all focused on the ice and fire wine in the bowl. He had already I became very interested in this wine.
¡°The eldest lady is really discerning¡ª¡ª!¡± The final praise was attributed to their eldest lady.
"Old Qian, did you see the eldest lady in Lin'an City?"
"The eldest lady hasn't seen it, I just heard it from others, hehe Something important happened in Lin'an City. You all must want to hear about it!" Old Qian held a pipe pot in one hand and a big bowl in the other, Feng Shuang said. There was a mysterious look on Manmian's face, and his bright eyes swept around.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out to see him, but they are disgusted with his showdown, so they all bowed their heads and drank, ignoring him, or having a heated drinking contest with the people around them.
Seeing that everyone was ignoring him so much, Lao Qian hated himself and drank all the wine in his bowl, put it heavily on the table, shook his head and sighed: "Oh! Forget it, I won't argue with you Sunflower Collection, Has anyone heard of it?"
Everyone shook their heads. Although they pretended not to care, the old money's anecdotes had a strong appeal to them. - Didn't finish reading?
