Chapter 77: can't afford to drink

The Chunmu River is a famous river in Jizhou. It has the longest winding section in the Chunhui Prefecture. It also flows through many prefectures in the prefecture. into the sea.

The section of the river leading from Jiudaokou in Desheng Prefecture to the city of Chunhui Prefecture is relatively straight, especially in this season when the southeasterly winds are relatively smooth, so the journey from Desheng Prefecture to Chunhui Prefecture is very short.

Except for someone who fell into the water on the first night, there was a big herring who turned on the wisdom to save people and beg for wine. The next two days of sailing did not have any twists and turns. Enjoying or listening to the sounds of the small mountains and forests along the way, the wind went smoothly in the morning of the fourth day. I saw the big pier outside the city of Chunhui Mansion.

The closer you get to the Chunhui House Wharf, the more ships there are, ranging from single-person boats to large-scale boats, from passenger ships and cargo ships to fishermen's fishing boats. Its busyness is not comparable to that of the wharf in Jiudaokou County.

The passengers all stood outside the cabin and looked out. Behind the pier, you could see the towering city walls of Chunhui City, and the buildings inside that were a section higher than the city walls.

Approaching Chunhui Palace City, the wind actually decreased. The young boatman had already started to shake the oars, and the boat passengers also turned their attention from the state of looking at the Palace City to the surroundings.

The noise on the dock became more and more obvious. Loading and unloading, loading and unloading, the boat where Ji Yuan was located found a berth on the edge and slowly docked.

By this time, everyone who had been with him for three days knew that they were going to part ways. The boat fee had already been settled on the day the boat sailed, so they could disembark at any time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Jiangshen Temple is located on the south side of Dongcheng City. You can see it if you go out of the wharf and go straight to the south without entering the city. It can be regarded as a scene of this Chunhui Palace City. If you have time, you can go and worship the Jiangshen. master!"

The old boatman fastened the ropes, smiled and suggested to everyone who was about to disembark the boat, the boat went smoothly, mainly because of the passengers on the boat, feel comfortable!

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

"That's right, I'll definitely go and worship with a stick of incense!"

"Goodbye boatman!" "There will be a period later!"

……

Ji Yuan also bowed to the boatman at the dock like others. The two boatmen have no need to go to the city. They will buy some things at the dock. When cleaning the boat, they will hang up the sign of Jiudaokou of Desheng Mansion. guest home.

The six people on board walked out of the pier together, and one of the scholars immediately asked Ji Yuan.

"Mr. Ji, my classmates and I are going to visit Chunhui Palace City, and then visit Jiangshen Temple. If you don't have any arrangements, why don't you come with me?"

"Yes, Mr. Ji!"

Ji Yuan looked at these people and bowed his hands.

"Thank you for your good intentions. Ji still has something to do. Everyone is in the same boat. We will meet again in the future. Ji will leave here first!"

Several people said goodbye to each other, and each went to their destination, but Ji Yuan took a step first, and walked faster and faster, and after a while, no one was there.

'Today is the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month. I wonder if Wei Wuwei has already arrived at Chunhui Mansion and is ready? ’

With this idea in mind, the first thing to look for is which famous wine in the city is, to see how delicious it is and how to attract the old turtle to come out.

After all, Ji Yuan has never seen anything big in this world. The one he drinks the most is the Huadiao Jar wine from Ning'an County, but that wine is available everywhere, so it's not a rare thing.

Anyway, if you were waiting near the South City Gate before May 15, you should always be able to spot Wei Wuwei. After all, Ji Yuan's hearing can tell anyone who is familiar with him from afar.

As for Wei Wuwei's idea of ​​seeing the old turtle, Ji Yuan did not intend to show up because of a fresh mentality. After all, the only people who knew about this matter were the Wei family, who were the "masters of the public door" that night.

However, even if Ji Yuan wanted to show up, it was all right. Anyway, in Wei Wuwei's eyes, he was also an expert, so if an expert knew about this, it wouldn't be abrupt.

. . .

The prosperity of Chunhui Mansion surpasses that of Ning'an County and Jiudaokou. With poor eyesight and excellent hearing and sense of smell, Ji Yuan is still like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden while walking around the city.

After inquiring for a long time, Ji Yuan finally found the restaurant in front of him called Yuanzipu. A faint aroma of wine seemed to indicate that the restaurant was well-deserved.

The restaurant is not very big, and there is no second floor. There are only a few tables inside. There seem to be not many people buying wine and drinking. There are only two tables in the corner where people eat snacks and drink wine, and the drinks don’t look like it. The food in the pub is more like bringing your own, because it is wrapped in lotus leaves.

On the contrary, there were quite a few people in the shop who looked like clerks, but they were all resting on a few empty tables, while the shopkeeper kept turning the abacus behind the counter, "crackling" against the ledger.

"The shopkeeper, I heard that your Qian Richun is a famous wine without a semicolon in Chunhui House. How much does it cost for a pot?"

Ji Yuan entered the store and asked the shopkeeper, who only looked up at him after counting the numbers at hand.

"Our shop only sells two kinds of wine, one ounce of silver for Qian Ri Chun, and a small discount for the whole jar. One jar of Jianghua wine is 100 cents, and it has five pounds."

"Two or two?"

Ji Yuan was surprised, this price is not a star and a half, and two taels are enough for many meals. It seems that there is not only expensive wine in the previous life, but there should be no shortage of it in this life!

"The guest officer wants Jianghua wine?"

The shopkeeper continued to set up the accounts, but his voice did not fluctuate much, which made Ji Yuan a little embarrassed.

"Uh, the shopkeeper, since Qian Richun can sell it in pieces, can I buy a cup and try it?"

"A cup?"

This kind of request is really rare, mainly because no one has such a face to ask it in the garden, the shopkeeper can't help but raise his head to take a closer look at Ji Fate.

Wide-sleeved gray robe, mahogany hairpin on his head, carrying a bag and carrying an umbrella, dressed neatly and elegantly, with a seemingly loose but surprisingly natural hairstyle, not like a rich person but not looking like he's here to make trouble, he's only half-opened When he opened his eyes, the shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Did the guest official come to Chunhui Mansion?"

"I first arrived today, and when I heard about Qian Riharu's name, I wanted to try it out."

"Come, come..."

The shopkeeper nodded, beckoned to Ji Yuan, took a jar from several small jars on the shelf behind him, and removed the sealing plug.

Take out a small porcelain cup and put it on the counter, and then use a delicate small spoon to reach it and lift a small half of it. The amber-colored wine droplets just fill the small porcelain cup, and the mouth of the cup is still connected to the spoon. Silk, the shopkeeper disconnected after a shock.

"Guest officer, please use it, I'll ask you to taste the taste of this thousand-day spring and evaluate it again, it will be the money for wine!"

Ji Yuan sniffed the aroma of the wine and approached the counter without saying a word. He reached out and grabbed the porcelain cup and put it to his mouth to taste it, but he didn't taste the bitterness that he needed to get used to. Slightly taller than the Huadiao that I drank before.

I drank this little wine with one more sip, and the slightly bitter and wine taste irritated the nose, and then turned into a pure sweetness and astringency. After swallowing, the sweet aftertaste in the mouth also persisted for a long time.

Ji Yuan didn't like to drink in the past life, and thought that any kind of wine was unpleasant, but he never thought that he would be able to taste this kind of taste in this life.

"Good wine, worthy of the name of a thousand days of spring!"

Ji Yuan didn't say any blatant compliments anymore~www.NovelMTL.com~ directly took out two standard one or two round silver ingots from her arms and placed them on the counter.

"One sip of this wine is really not enough. Even if you eat a few meals less, you have to buy a pound."

The shopkeeper's smile brightened, this was already the best compliment.

"Wait a minute, guest!"

After taking the silver and weighing it, the shopkeeper took a small wine bottle from the shelf behind and handed it to Ji Yuan.

"One pound in a thousand days of spring."

Ji Yuan took the wine and looked at the situation in the store, thinking that 80% of the time, the wine will be supplied to various restaurants, inns, etc. There will also be merchants and freight from all over the world, and Yuanzipu should also be a place with bright signs.

"Hey, shopkeeper, your wine is so expensive that even gods can't afford it! Go away..."

Ji Yuan sighed with a smile, and with some self-improvement and yearning, he compared himself to an immortal, and walked out of the store with a bottle of wine, which naturally became a joke in the ears of outsiders.

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, because Ji Yuan was in a good mood because he had just tasted wine and then gritted his teeth to buy wine.

Just as he was about to sort out the small porcelain cup, the person's outstretched right hand stopped.

Qian Richun is well-known. In addition to its good taste, another feature is that the wine is sticky to the cup. Even the smoothest ceramic cup will definitely stick to some wine liquid. It is the kind that needs to be licked several times to clean it.

But the porcelain cup in front of him was white and clean, without a trace of wine remaining. The shopkeeper stretched out his finger and smeared it into the cup, and his expression was even more stunned.

'What did you do? ’

Perhaps a brilliant Jianghu guest?

But recalling the gentle drinking action of the man just now, and the words he said before he left, the shopkeeper's heart jumped inexplicably.

Immediately raised his head and looked around, he said "Guest officer..." before he exited, but where could he see where the scheming person was.
