Chapter 256: Wine Theory [Collection]
After the bazaar, I came to the Chizhou Mansion in front. The pen "Fun" Pavilion looks very deserted www.biquge.info front of the Yamen of Chizhou Mansion, and there are no gentry and businessmen who come and go.
The six of them found a tavern near the government office as a place to live. This tavern does not have a name, but a small flag with the word "wine" is hung in front of the door.
The owner is an old man in his sixties. He had gray hair, and wore a shabby gown with a large apron over it.
At this time, there was not a single guest in the tavern. As soon as Wang Chong and the others walked in, the boss immediately greeted them.
beckoning everyone to sit down, he wiped the table carefully, brought a pot of hot water, and then asked Wang Chong and the others what they wanted to eat.
As he walked, he sang, "Bring up the best stuff in your store." The old man nodded and walked back to the back kitchen.
After a while, the old man walked out with a large tray. As I walked, I thought to myself, there must be a lot of good things on such a large plate.
When the old man put the tray on the table and sang as he walked, he was disappointed to see that there were only four small plates in the tray. They are: a plate of fried tofu, a plate of spiced peanuts, a plate of bamboo shoots, and a plate of pickled cucumbers.
This is a four-course vegetarian dish that can no longer be vegetarian. As he walked, he muttered, "That's all!" It's called how people eat. No wonder you don't have anyone here. β
The old man hurriedly apologized and said, "The guest officer forgives the sin." I'm just selling alcohol here. These side dishes are all eaten at home, which is for you to drink objectively, no money. You may taste my wine. β
Wang Chong heard the old man secretly praise his wine, so he said, "Old man." Just take out your wine. β
The old man turned around and brought a jar of wine from the shelf and put it on the table. As I walked, I opened the lid of the jar and felt the overflowing aroma of wine penetrate my nostrils.
The heart of singing as he walked was lifted. He also drank a lot of good wine in the game, but compared to this jar, the difference was immediately noticeable.
This jar of wine is rich and mellow, refreshing and refreshing. Wang Chong and the others were also dyed by the fragrance of this wine, and they were dazed.
The old man smiled and nodded: "Do I still need snacks for this wine?" No amount of delicacies can match my wine. It's your first time visiting, so that's why I brought out the side dishes from home. No one who is a regular here will want to eat or drink. β
The old man's words, although he seemed very conceited. But when Wang Chong and the others heard it, they felt that it was a big truth that could not be true.
The old man filled the bowl in front of them, singing and drinking it dry as he went. Wang Chong also drank a bowl.
Qiu Feng usually doesn't drink much, and when he smells the aroma of wine, he can't help but move his index finger and make a bowl.
Jing Xin and Cangshan Xue also drank a bowl, and even Bai Hugo drank half a bowl.
Wang Chong asked the old man in admiration: "Old man." Your wine is so delicious, why is it only sold here? You can go to the big restaurants all over the place to sell your wine. Guaranteed supply outstrips demand. β
The old man shook his head and said proudly, "My wine is for people who are destined to drink." If you are destined to come to me, you can drink my wine. β
Singing as I walked, I didn't care about anything else, I just thought about drinking a few more bowls. While the old man was talking, he poured wine into his bowl while he held the wine jar.
After a while, he had already drunk three bowls in a row.
Three bowls of wine in his stomach, and he felt dizzy when he sang while walking, and he looked at Wang Chong and the others drunkenly.
Before they could speak, he fell asleep on the table. This time, Wang Chong and the others didn't dare to drink it anymore.
The old man smiled and watched as he walked and sang. He said to Wang Chong and others: "This is a person who has no relationship with alcohol. If you really have a fate, you won't get drunk no matter how much you drink. β
Wang Chong asked puzzledly: "How can wine not be intoxicating?" β
The old man said meaningfully: "Wine is not intoxicating. It is the human heart that is drunk. β
Jing Xin said: "People are drunk when they have a heart of wine, and people are clear when they are not drunk." It's all about the heart. If the heart is clear, the person is clear, and if the heart is turbid, the person is turbid. But I don't know what my heart is, and what is my wine? β
The old man muttered: "The heart is the root of self-establishment, and wine is the source of desire. If the heart is right, you will not be fascinated by desire. β
Wang Chong listened to the old man's ethereal remarks and was confused. The old man looked at him, shook his head, put away the jar and turned to leave.
Wang Chong looked at Jing Xin. Jingxin pursed his lips and smiled: "Did you hear what this old gentleman said?" β
Wang Chong looked dazed. Jing Xin had no choice but to explain: "The heart that the old man said is the criterion, ideal and ambition of being a human being. Wine is the temptation of the world. When you are clear about what you want and the temptation comes, you will not get confused. As long as you think it is right, work hard and persevere, even if you are a heinous demon in the eyes of others, you will not change your original intention. β
Wang Chong was puzzled: "Are you saying that you have to insist on doing what is wrong?" He smiled quietly and did not answer.
Wang Chong kept combing through what Jing Xin said in his heart. He didn't understand what meditation meant.
Time passed slowly, and when I woke up while walking and singing, it was already afternoon. Wang Chong blamed him for a few words, and he was very happy to sing while walking.
He said that in his dreams he saw the most beautiful scenery and the most beautiful fairies. The crowd only thought he was a hangover and said something drunk.
Several people left the tavern. Back on the street, there are already more players by this time.
It turns out that the players in Chizhou Mansion are all businessmen, and they don't go out of the city to fight monsters. So it wasn't until the afternoon that players started looking around for business opportunities.
Wang Chong and the others walked to a commercial street. It's a busier market than the morning market, and many players are waiting for the players who have gone to the wild to farm monsters to come back and collect their goods.
When everyone was wandering, Wang Chong saw that not far ahead, there were two shops open opposite each other. There is a flag in front of the shop.
The flag on the east side reads: Ethereal Gang. The flag on the west reads: Pingding Kyushu Council. The two stores are clearly playing against each other.
Seeing this scene quietly, he smiled mysteriously at Wang Chong. Although Wang Chong didn't understand what she wanted to do, he could feel that Jing Xin must have some idea.
I didn't see it until everyone walked to the store. The shops of these two gangs are just a faΓ§ade, and there are no goods in them. Instead, the two companies set up a signboard in front of the store to accept people.
The two gangs have been pitting against each other all the time. Whatever you do, I must do.
After figuring out these situations, the smile on Jing Xin's face became even stronger.
After a few more strolls, the group returned to the Ethereal Gang camp.
The weather was unbearably hot. The game's world is also portrayed breathtakingly. The two flags in front of the shop were charred and curled.
There was not a single figure on the street in front of the shop, and the two watchmen were lazily hiding in the shade.
On this scorching afternoon, which is unacceptable to either players or NPCs, three figures walk up from the street corner. All three of them are players, and they walk on the scorching stone road under the scorching sun.
