279 Daozu Gives Tea(1/2)
When the old Taoist saw the two returning, he whispered to Xu Tianran: "Do you have any wine?"
Fan Er immediately poked his little head out of his head and said with a smile: "Taoist Priest, I bought three pots of top-quality wine, and I will bring them to you."
Xu Tianran glanced at the clever Fan Er and knew that this boy was definitely going to cheat him out of some money. He might even dare to offer a tael of silver for a bottle of wine worth 20 cents.
However, when Xu Tianran was about to settle down in Fan's house, he decided that he was going to take this stab, so he looked away and let him go.
In fact, Fan Er's little calculation is not as unscrupulous as Xu Tianran thought. At any rate, Fan Er also bought a bottle of good wine for 100 yuan, which is not cheap in a small town. If Fan Er was not a small person in the town,
The young man in green shirt who is famous but has a bad face can buy it. It only costs 200 to 300 silver for a bottle of wine. From this point of view, Fan 210 taels of silver for a bottle of wine does not seem to be too expensive.
Fan Er sincerely serves the distinguished guests. In Fan Er's dictionary, there is no such thing as ripping off customers. Customers are all willing to pay for their money. After all, his attentive service is worth a lot of money.
As soon as the ten taels of silver entered Fan Er's pocket, they must have been arranged properly, and not a penny was left.
Since Fan's mother knew her son's virtue, she asked Fan Er to return the remaining money. Fan Er made it clear that he wanted money or his life, so Fan's mother could only sigh and shake her head.
The girl brought dishes to the table one after another. There were quite a lot of hard dishes such as beef and pork knuckles. The last chicken soup was still simmering in the pot. Fan Er almost drooled when he looked at the delicious food, but he couldn't help but take a bite.
, this is his request for his service, otherwise this service would be worth eight taels of silver?
Fan Er had secretly buried the silver in the woodshed long ago, just because he was afraid that his kind-hearted mother would turn around and return the money to the guest.
The girl served food to Xu Tianran and his family, and Xu Tianran warmly invited Fan Er and his family to join them for dinner. However, the girl tried to evade the meal, saying that there was no reason to eat as a guest.
Taoist Priest, Mu Lengqing and Xu Tianran each had a pot of fine wine bought by Fan Er in front of them. Xu Tianran poured out the wine, and the aroma of the wine overflowed, and the three of them shook their heads in unison.
Yu Sheng and Letian didn't know why the three of them shook their heads and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Tianran sighed: "The wine is too expensive and I can't bear to drink it."
Yu Sheng blinked his beautiful round eyes, stunned, this wine is really that good, Lotte has been through the world, and the person named Xu knows most of the virtues, this is obviously irony.
Fan Er, who was listening to the wall outside the door, felt a shiver in his heart. He was an expert. He could tell the quality of the wine by smelling its aroma. It seemed that he was careless. It was not easy to earn money. If it didn't work, he could still spit out two or three taels.
However, neither Xu Tianran nor Lao Dao was picky about wine. Fortunately, although this wine was not of high quality, it was relatively pure. At most, it would give him a headache the next day and not cause him to rush to the toilet in the middle of the night.
Mu Lengqing saw that Xu Tianran and Lao Dao were both toasting and drinking together, but they were still motionless. When the two of them finished the pot of wine, Mu Lengqing took the wine pot and went to the kitchen.
When Fan Er saw this, he was afraid that the cold woman wanted to settle a score with him, so he ran away. He never thought that the woman in black was just coming to the kitchen to clean the wine pot, so Fan Er felt reassured.
In the kitchen, Fan's mother and the girl were carrying rice and eating pickles. Seeing the woman in black coming over, Fan's mother immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, took the wine bottle and went to wash herself.
Mu Lengqing didn't say much, she just said softly: "Let's eat together and we won't cause any trouble for that bastard in your family."
Fan's mother was startled at first, and was about to ask the girl why she said this. She turned around and thought about her son's virtue, but she felt guilty at first. After thinking about it, she really figured it out. The woman in black looked cold, but she was actually
He wanted us to eat together at the table. He had good intentions, but he had to act like he was trying to find fault.
The girl was extremely nervous. She didn't need to think too much to know that Fan Er had caused displeasure to the guests again, and she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Fan Er walked out swaggering, patting his chest, with an attitude of "I will bear the burden if the sky falls," "Fan Yuling, what are you afraid of? With me here, who dares to bully you."
After hearing this, the girl became even more angry and wanted to chase Fan Er with a feather duster. However, the guest was still there, so she could only endure it and settle the accounts with him later.
Fan's mother and the girl picked up the bowls and chopsticks, followed the orders of the cold woman in black, and served the table. Xu Tianran admired Mu Jianxian's ability to persuade others. Even though he was kind and nice, she still refused to serve. Unexpectedly, Mu Jianxian
Just go out and get it done in one sentence.
Fan's mother and Fan Yuling were a bit cramped, but Fan Er was not polite at all. He put large pieces of meat into the bowl, not forgetting to add meat to his mother and stupid sister. This was a dish and wine that they couldn't even eat during the Chinese New Year. How could Fan Er miss it?
.
Fan Er had been planning in his mind for a long time. If a guest asked about the food and drinks later, he had already thought of a hundred reasons to respond. Unexpectedly, when it came to the table, there was no word of reprimand.
Now it was Fan Er's turn to be dumbfounded. Over the years, Fan Er had never been afraid of arguing with others. What he was most afraid of was that people would not reason with him and would directly take action. Even though he could speak eloquently, he was still a child. How could he fight?
After being able to outdo those adults, Fan Er felt completely guilty now. Could it be that the gentle and gentle young man in green shirt was the most unreasonable person and made him eat enough to send him on his way.
Xu Tianran saw through Fan Er's thoughts, and it seemed that he couldn't do it without scolding him, "Fan Er, why is your name so brilliant?"
"It's just average. What's so special about it? It's the second eldest child, so it's named after it. It's the same in the village."
"Why isn't your sister called Fan Da?"
"My sister is a woman. She is named Fan Da. In the future, a matchmaker will come to your door to talk to you. If you ask for your name, you will scare away the person who proposes marriage. Naturally, you have to be more particular."
Xu Tianran nodded slightly, "That makes sense."
Fan Er thought he had escaped, but the man named Xu squinted and said with a smile, "Er, what kind of wine did you buy?"
Fan Er trembled slightly
, sparse beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in an instant, "This is the famous glutinous rice wine from all over the country. It is slightly sweet in the mouth and has an endless taste."
"How much does a pot cost?"
Fan Er straightened his back, "This costs a lot of money. With my face, Fan Er, I also need five hundred cents for a pot."
Originally, he didn't dare to say it out loud, but Xu Tianran put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's not expensive at all."
Fan Er felt a little regretful and slapped his thigh. He would have said a tael if he had known about it, but he had lost a tael and a half of silver in vain.
Xu Tianran asked: "Er, can you drink?"
Fan Er immediately climbed up on the stool, sat cross-legged, and beat his chest loudly, "I'm not bragging, Fan Er. I started drinking when I was three years old, and I've been drinking for six years now, not to mention two or three cups."
Down."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Lengqing pushed the glutinous rice wine in front of Fan Er. Fan Er was dumbfounded, and Fan's mother immediately apologized: "He is a young man who has never drank before. His childish words are unscrupulous. I hope you will forgive me."
How could Fan Er let go of this opportunity? For Fan Er, this was not wine, but money. He had lost one or two half, and he had to drink it back at all costs.
Before Fan's mother could react, Fan Er directly picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.
Fan Er's slightly dark cheeks suddenly turned as red as cooked shrimp shells. He imitated the drunkards in the town's taverns and turned the jug upside down on his head. He shook his head and said: "The feeling is deep and I took a sip..."
Immediately, he fell off the stool. Just as Fan's mother was about to scream, she saw Fan Er being held by Xu Tianran's arm, and then sent Fan Er to bed.
It turned out that Fan Er, who had always acted as a big man, was so light, much lighter than Xu Tianran expected. He was obviously a child who had not grown up, so why did he always act like an old man? He clearly loved his mother and sister the most in his heart.
, but always duplicity?
Xu Tianran smiled in relief, what would he have done if he had not met Lao Bai?
Was he captured and executed by the pursuers, or was he wandering around the world from then on, engaging in thief and sneaky activities just to make ends meet?
Xu Tianran was wary of why this drama of killing his father was staged in front of him when he first arrived in Cangshan Secret Realm.
After dinner, the old Taoist finally spoke again, "Xu boy, do you have any wine?"
Xu Tianran naturally understood what the old Taoist meant, and took out the wine gourd from his waist. The fine Taibai Xianjiang flowed out from the mouth of the gourd, making the greedy wine bugs of the old Taoist roll around.
Mu Leng gave Xu Tianran an innocent look, and Xu Tianran realized later that Mu Jianxian had not washed the wine pot just to invite Fan and his son to the table, but must have done it for the sake of the wine around his waist.
Xu Tianran immediately showed great respect and poured a bottle of wine for Miss Mu.
The old Taoist smiled and said: "Boss Xu, Miss Mu, do you know the origin of the secret realm of Cangshan Mountain?"
Xu Tianran said calmly: "I am all ears."
"In the past, Zhuang Sheng lived in seclusion. After Zhuang Sheng's army was dismissed, Taoist ancestors came in person and built a new small world with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. From then on, the secret realm of Cangshan was completely isolated from the world of heaven."
"Then the one who guards the secret realm of Cangshan is the Taoist ancestor?"
"Exactly."
Xu Tianran fell into deep thought.
Taoist Master Zhengxuan continued: "Do you know why Taoist ancestors wanted to include the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers where Zhuang Sheng's army was rescued into the small world?"
"I don't know."
"Ten thousand years ago, this place was the place where the human race and the dragon race had the last battle, and it was the last burial place of the dragon race."
Xu Tianran was surprised and said: "Is this why Zhuang Sheng would be imprisoned here for three hundred years?"
"It's unclear. What on earth is that guy thinking? Who can see through it?"
Xu Tianran murmured: "The place where the dragon clan's bones are buried, the place where Zhuang Sheng surrendered, the place where the white hair was sealed, the Taoist ancestor's small world? Why do so many big events happen in this ordinary land?"
The old man has no words.
Mu Lengqing was too lazy to think.
Lotte didn't understand it at all. He just wondered how the master knew so much.
The old Taoist poured out the last drop of wine from the wine pot, licked the wine bowl clean, put the wine bowl down, and said with a smile: "Let's take a walk?"
Xu Tianran also put down his wine bowl and said, "Let's go."
In an instant, the figures of Lao Dao and Xu Tianran disappeared on the spot. Letian was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He pointed to the position of his master and asked, "Is this my master's technique?"
Mu Lengqing nodded slightly.
"Is my master so powerful?"
Mu Lengqing was too lazy to nod anymore.
Lotte began to examine his own fundamentals. Could it be that he was really a genius? Master had noticed my talent early on and accepted me as his disciple. No wonder Master had advised me to practice hard some time ago. I guess Master had high hopes for me.
It seems that from now on, I have to practice diligently, and maybe in ten or eight years I will be able to rub Xu on the ground.
In a secluded mountain and a dilapidated Taoist temple, a white-haired old man rode a green bull backwards, slowly sliding down the back of the green bull.
