Chapter 291

The moon tower.

Because it was not time for dinner, there were only two or three sporadic guests in the restaurant. Li Changting asked for a box.

"What would you like to have, two guests?" Generally, guests who want a box don't need money. The shopkeeper comes to entertain them in person.

Li Changting said, "bring a pot of wine to your shop and some famous dishes. My wife has just given birth to a baby. Don't take it too seriously."

"Yes, sir, just a moment, please." The shopkeeper responded warmly and went out with the door.

Xu Qingyan knife flew over: "do you want to drink so much wine in broad daylight?"

Li Changting: "I heard that the wine of wangyuelou is the best in the world. I haven't drunk it for three years. I can't help but want to taste it. I'm tired of drinking my own wine every day."

Xu Qing doesn't like to drink, so she can't tell whether Li Changting's wine is good or bad. However, she has heard Yu poming's comment, which is general.

The so-called general is the one in a pile of good wine, which is neither bad nor good.

Xu Qing: "I told you to pay homage to a master. It's not easier to do so than to find out by yourself. In the past, there were still worships. Now, I don't know if there are any good masters who can make wine."

Li Changting: "the best wine maker in the world is in wangyuelou. He has no apprentices for a long time. I only know that he lived in the capital three years ago, but I don't know where he went later."

Hearing the regret in Li Changting's voice, Xu Qing asked, "I really can't find it?"

Li Changting shook his head: "I don't know."

When the door of the box was knocked, Li Changting said to enter. Three men came in with wine bottles. Twenty three bottles of wine were filled with narrow mouthed big belly wine bottles of different colors and patterns.

Regardless of the wine inside, Xu Qing couldn't move his eyes when he saw these beautiful and exquisite wine bottles.

"It's so beautiful. Can I take it with me?"

"I'm sorry, sir. Wine bottles are not for sale." The man said with a polite smile.

"What do I want to do?" Xu Qing picked up one of the pots of wine. The bottom of the pot was black and the top was blue. The color went from bottom to top, as if separated by a sea of stars.

The man was embarrassed when the shopkeeper came: "my guest, all the wine you want is here."

"Shopkeeper, this lady wants to buy our wine pot." Man, please.

"Is the lady interested in the wine pot?" The shopkeeper didn't understand.

"I like to collect beautiful tableware." Can't you sell it to me

"Well I'm so sorry. " The shopkeeper arched his hand, but said, "but we have always had a rule in Wangyue tower, but if the guests who ordered wine in Wangyue tower can make a poem about wine and satisfy our boss, not only the wine money can be free for you, but also the wine and the wine pot can be given to you."

Xu Qing stares big eyes: "still have such good thing?"

She looked at Li Changting, who was slightly embarrassed

Needless to say, Li Changting is smart, but after all, he is a man of iron and steel. He has never been able to make poetry and sentences in an elegant way.

Xu Qing touched her chin. It seemed that she had to rely on herself. Of course, she couldn't write poems herself, but she couldn't help learning many poems.

Her memory is getting better and better now. When she tries to recall it, she can still come up with some poems about wine. The poems that she was forced to recite by her Chinese teacher are really useful.

However, Xu Qing looked at the shopkeeper and said, "well, I'll challenge you to write poems. But you see, I ordered 23 pots of wine at one time. Can't I write 23 poems?"

The shopkeeper is also the first time to meet the guests who come to his Wangyue tower to order so many kinds of wine. It's not cost-effective to exchange so many wine for one poem. He folded his hands and thought about it. He said, "well, you can write three poems for me. As long as our boss is satisfied with two of them, all the wine will be given to you."

If the shopkeeper dares to say that, he also thinks that he has thought too much about it. For more than eight years, there has been no wine poem that the owner likes. He doesn't believe that the little lady in front of him can make it. To say that is just to give the guests face.

The shopkeeper said to the man, "come here, give me some pen and ink."

The man brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Xu Qing didn't like someone watching, so he sent the man out.

Li Changting grinds his ink and watches Xu Qing write on the paper: Green ant new

He saw that Xu Qing's action was stiff, and he didn't write any more: "what's the matter?"

Xu Qing scratched his head with a pen: "I forgot how to write the following word, which one is coming?"

Li Changting: "if you take out these words, others don't know them. Let me write them."

Xu Qing quickly handed the pen to him: "is the sound insulation good here? I whispered

Other people pay attention to artistic conception in their poems, while Xu Qing pays attention to memory, which is written first.

The shopkeeper didn't expect that Xu Qing finished three poems so soon. He was still a little confused when he took the three pieces of rice paper.

Xu Qing said, "my handwriting is not good-looking. Let my husband write it on his behalf. Take it and show it to your boss."The shopkeeper bowed and asked Xu Qing to wait for a moment.

At this time, Li Changting's order also came up, five dishes and one soup, plus three plates of snacks.

Xu Qing scooped a braised lion head, smelling the smell, Xu Qing knew that the lion head must be delicious.

Li Changting untied a pot of wine and poured a cup for himself. The color of the wine in the white porcelain cup was as transparent and beautiful as amber. The strong aroma of the wine was not covered up by the smell of vegetables, and the fragrance was pleasant.

Li Changting took a sip and squinted with satisfaction. Sure enough, the wine here is much better than his own.

Here, the shopkeeper sent the three poems to the owner.

"Green ant new fermented grains, red mud small stove. If you want snow in the late days, can you drink a cup of Wu

"A pot of wine among flowers, drinking alone, no blind date. Raise a glass to invite the bright moon and make three people to the shadow. "

"Last night it rained, it was windy, and I couldn't sleep without drinking. Ask roller shutter people, but the road is still Begonia. Do you know, do you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin. "

"Oh, interesting. Who's here? "

"Back home, it was former General Li Tingfeng and his wife, but because General Li had already resigned, now he was just a civilian, so he didn't sell his face directly and gave the wine bottle to his wife."

"It's him? This general Li is different from ordinary people. Although he is only a civilian now, his prestige in the capital has not weakened at all over the years. A single stamp can turn the capital upside down. "

"Are you satisfied with these three poems? Shall we take this opportunity to sell him a favor and give the wine to his wife? " The shopkeeper was a little flustered. I didn't expect that General Li's evaluation in the owner's mind would be so high.

"If he wants you to sell other people's feelings, he will speak directly. Forget it, you can go back and tell his wife that although these three poems are good, their artistic conception is not what I like. Let her make a better one for me. If I am satisfied, it's not impossible to give her a double drink."
