The most unlucky crossing in history

When they came out of the inn, neither of them said anything.

Walking on the busiest street of Yufang in Maojiang City, Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan beside him who looked normal, but he didn't know how to speak. After pondering for a long time, he said slowly: "Speaking of it, this boss Zhu from Maojiang It’s really strange to name his shop, the inn is called Tingfeng, the restaurant is called Tingzhu, but the brothel is called Fengyu Pavilion, when he invited him to dinner, I thought Fengyu Pavilion was just an elegant restaurant.”

Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun amusedly when he heard the words, "What are you talking about?"

"Didn't I see that you are very concerned about Mr. Xie? I want to explain to you, lest you always think that I am a person who is addicted to wine and sex and does not think about making progress."

"I care?" Xie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Ahem, no, I care."

Xie Wenyuan said indifferently: "The tent is warm with red candles, and a beautiful woman is in your arms. All men have such desires. It is normal for Brother Zhong to go there, so there is no need to worry about it."

"Oh? From Mr. Xie's point of view, this is a common thing? From your point of view, you think you often go to and from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion?" Zhong Qiyun clicked his tongue, "I forgot that He Minqing once chatted with me Thank you, my lord, for your romantic past in Jingzhao City. The butler of Jingzhao City secretly fell in love. Leaving aside, even Chu Changyi, the most beautiful woman in the world, entrusted her heart... Tsk tsk tsk, come on Now I have never seen the most beautiful woman in the world, and the appearance of that "Miss Yiyi" is like a fairy, and I can't be the "No. [-] in the world". I don't know how thrilling the "No. [-] beauty in the world" is. .”

Xie Wenyuan responded: "Brother Zhong, if you are so curious, I will lead you to take a look when you go to Jingzhao in the future?"

Zhong Qiyun walked quickly to Xie Wenyuan, blocked his way, blinked and said, "Are you willing?"

What he said was not clear or clear, Xie Wenyuan, who was blocked by Zhong Qiyun, gave Zhong Qiyun a deep look.

It was this look that made Zhong Qiyun cough uncomfortably, backed away, and said, "In that case, I will thank Brother Xie first."

"Brother Zhong, you are welcome."

"..." Zhong Qiyun was stunned by these words, why did he feel that he was actually a person who was 'addicted to wine and sex'?

It is inappropriate to continue these words, Zhong Qiyun simply stopped talking, he took Xie Wenyuan to the flower market in the south of the city, looked at the spring scenery in the north and south winter, bought some flowers and plants and sent them to the shore fleet .

Then at sunset, he led Xie Wenyuan to the

In the most lively streets and alleys in the north of the city, Xie Wenyuan was introduced to the local conditions and customs of Maojiang in detail.

Maojiang was the southernmost city on the Great Continent, and it’s winter now, but Maojiang doesn’t see the depression and solitude of winter in the north. The sun shines from the sky, and the city is warm and warm, which makes people feel some refreshing heating. A burst of spring.

"Different from the people in Jingzhao City who like to plant ginkgo and red maple in front of the gate, Maojiang is like spring even in winter. It seems that all kinds of vegetables, fruits and flowers are planted, so they all like to plant fruit trees and flowers. Southerners are originally They are petite, and their door eaves are also very delicate, which is also very flavorful."

Xie Wenyuan carefully looked at the people walking around, nodded slightly and said: "It's November in Jingzhao, and everyone in the streets and alleys wears mink wrapped in cotton, how can they look like this?"

Maojiang is a small town, with small towns and small roads. It doesn’t have Lin Palaces and Buddhist Temples like Jingzhao, and there are no golden powder towers like Jinling, but the streets and alleys are still crowded with people coming and going. In one place, lanterns were hung to sell tea and wine.

"There is stillness in the movement, movement in the stillness, a piece of sound, and all kinds of life, all of which are overturned under this sky."

"Yes." Zhong Qiyun replied: "The small town has this kind of simple life atmosphere, it seems simple but it is not simple."

As he said that, Zhong Qiyun saw a wine shop not far away, thanked Yuan with a smile, and said, "The package I asked Yu Zhouhai to bring to Hangzhou last time contained two jugs of wine, have you tasted it?"

"Tasted."

"The two jugs were bought at the wine shop in front."

Xie Wenyuan looked forward when he heard the words, and saw a small wine shop with no name. There were four or five large wine vats in the shop, leaving only two trails, criss-crossed, allowing one person to walk by. There was only one old man with white beard and hair holding a wooden spoon standing in the shop, but even so, there were dozens of men, women and children with wine jugs outside the shop, chatting lively and chatting.

Xie Wenyuan suddenly thought of the letter with his name written all over it, and also remembered the taste of the wine.

At sunset, at the beginning of the sunset, Maojiang city is shrouded in a touch of warm orange between the sky and the earth. There are bright lights on the restaurants on both sides, and the stars are dotted. The soft wind caresses people's faces one after another, blowing the eyes of passers-by talking and laughing. The hem of his clothes, blowing the smoke from every household.

Xie Wenyuan suddenly understood why there was a warm smell of firewood in the wine.Suddenly, he also clearly understood the meaning of what Zhong Qiyun said about "life in wine" that day in Hangzhou.

"Although the wine is more

The flower carvings in Hangzhou and the rice wine in northern Guizhou are not delicious, and the entrance is nothing special, but the smell of cooking smoke makes people like it. After eating this wine, I don’t know why I want to be with my family and my favorite people. The scene of having a reunion dinner together is the most suitable for two bites during the Chinese New Year. "

Xie Wenyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled slightly, "Brother Zhong understands life, and appreciates life."

This is really a compliment, Zhong Qiyun was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to grab Xie Wenyuan's wrist, and then quickly walked to the front and stood behind the line, "If we don't want to buy half a catty of wine, we will bring it to the restaurant to drink together later Have two glasses?"

Seeing Xie Wenyuan looking over, Zhong Qiyun slowly let go of his hand again.

Xie Wenyuan didn't seem to care, he just followed Zhong Qiyun and stood behind the crowd. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, he seemed to let go of many things in his heart. Xie Wenyuan smiled with Zhong Qiyun as if chatting with Zhong Qiyun: "Sail tomorrow, are you drinking today?"

"I only buy half a catty, and you and I will share it. It's just two or three taels per person, and you can't get drunk." Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan with a smile: "What's more, my fleet prohibits gambling, sex, and alcohol."

Xie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows: "Everyone says 'drinking is a mistake', so why can't you stop drinking? In my opinion, it's brother Zhong who can't help drinking when he's happy, right?"

"Hahahahaha, it seems that my title of 'greedy' has just been confirmed by you, brother Xie, and now I'm going to be 'drinking'. This way, it's really 'drinking' and it's really complete."

Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the words.

Zhong Qiyun looked at the person in front of him, his heart warmed up, and he couldn't help being happier: "In fact, many times in the sea, it would be boring. If everything is banned, I'm afraid the boatmen will get bored on the boat. Except for Yang Xiangdong, this fleet is all men. I can't help but say that this group of old men are better at drinking, but most of the time, the fleet is not allowed to drink a lot of alcohol. We usually have a meal or two to satisfy our cravings, and when the itinerary is safe and secure. , Resting boatmen can get together to drink, all of which are clearly stated in the sailing regulations."

The rice wine in the small wine shop was of good quality and cheap, Zhong Qiyun didn't bring the wine jug, so he bought a wine pouch by the way, and half a catty of wine only cost [-] Wen.

It's just that there were quite a lot of people coming and going to buy wine in the city, and by the time the two got the wine, the sun had already set.Zhong Qiyun thought for a while, then found a local specialty restaurant.

This restaurant is only one floor, there are no private rooms, no partitions, and all the people who come here are local people.It wasn't too early for the two of them, there were already a lot of people sitting in the lobby, gathering in twos and threes.

Go to the right at the checkout counter in the store

, Two fires were lit, and two large pots were placed on the fire. In the pots, boiling water was gurgling, and there were still clean dishes and chopsticks in the water.The bowls and chopsticks used by customers in the store have been scalded in boiling water for a long time, but they are also clean.

Xie Wenyuan didn't like making noise, so Zhong Qiyun found a corner seat by the window, and a lantern was lit above the window.

The waiter saw that the two were well dressed and did not speak with a local accent, so he knew that a big guest had come, and hurriedly lit a soybean oil lamp and brought it to the table, and wiped the shiny table with a rag.Copying an unauthentic official dialect, he asked the two of them: "What do you want to eat, the guest officer? Although the small shop does not have such a high profile, all the food is freshly picked that day, so it is guaranteed to be authentic."

When Zhong Qiyun came last time, he heard the boatmen recruited by Maojiang mention this small shop, and they talked about several delicacies, but that time happened to coincide with the Spring Festival, and the shop was closed for a rest, so he couldn’t taste it. The specialties here, if you come here now, you must try it, but...

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan and said: "I didn't think of it when I came here, I should ask you if you are not okay with eating seafood. I heard from the boatman in Maojiang that the specialty of the shop is seafood and the like... ...If it doesn't work, then let's change to another house."

"No problem," Xie Wenyuan said, "I also stayed in Jianzhou for a while when I was young, and I tasted almost all the sea things."

"That's good." Zhong Qiyun smiled, "If you really want to eat a meal with me and get sick, that's not okay."

After that, he raised his head and looked at Xiaoer beside him and said, "Then give us a charcoal roasted pork, a stir-fried river seafood, a young sea fish soup, a sand snail porridge... um ...Does your family have any special dishes?"

Xiaoer hurriedly said: "Returning to the guest officer, the duck rice in our shop is famous far and wide, and many old men from Guangdong and Guangxi came to try it. This duck is free-range in my shop. The duck meat is tender and tender. The taste is smooth, and the glutinous rice sweet grains in the store is also a major feature of Maojiang, which tastes sweet and relieves oiliness, and it is the most suitable for tasting after meals."

Zhong Qiyun nodded, "Then get one each."

"okay."

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan and asked, "Brother Xie, what else do you need?"

Xie Wenyuan shook his head: "This is enough, there are only two of us, we can't eat too much."

"That's fine." Zhong Qiyun said to the waiter: "Just a few of these, and if it's not enough, I'll order some later, and bring me two small wine glasses."

"Okay!" The waiter hurried to the counter and picked up a small cup of boiling water and brought it to the two of them, "It will take a while to prepare the dishes, and the guest officer will serve them soon."

"Okay, trouble brother."

"Where is it, it should be." After the little brother finished speaking, the shopkeeper shouted from a distance, and he hurried to the door to greet another table of guests who came in.

"Have you been here last time?"

"Where is it?" Zhong Qiyun unscrewed the wine bag, poured wine for Xie Wenyuan, and replied, "It's my first time here too. The last time I came to Maojiang happened to meet the Chinese New Year, these shops have long been closed. The wine I brought you was obtained from the old man's house directly."

"For two glasses of wine, you worked tirelessly."

"Hahahahaha, it's not bitter, it's not bitter, I'm happy to be able to bring wine to Mr. Xie. There wasn't much wine in the first place, so I just drank a few sips and sent you the rest." Zhong Qiyun picked up the wine glass Touched with Xie Wenyuan, tasted it carefully, then looked at Xie Wenyuan and said: "This wine seems to be better today."

Xie Wenyuan smiled and said, "Aren't they all the same?"

"How can it be the same?"

Before Zhong Qiyun could speak, someone spoke first.

The voice was very familiar, Zhong Qiyun looked back, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Zhenfeng walking over, followed by a handsome young man with flowing clothes and a slender waist.

Zhang Zhenfeng looked at the two of them, opened his fan, and smiled with fascinated phoenix eyes: "Drinking is a mystery, and the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy in the cup are often not based on the wine, but on the sitting opposite. Who is it, Brother Qi Yun, do you think it makes sense?"

After all, he led the person to sit in the empty seat grandiosely.

The corners of Zhong Qiyun's mouth twitched slightly, and his face became very cold: "I suddenly discovered that the taste is indeed the same."
