Chapter 172: Appreciating the Snow at Lake Heart Pavilion (Part 2)
Xie Xuan waved his hand, and a maid serving behind him immediately bent down and handed over a box of gold and red sandalwood. Xie Xuan placed the box on the table in front of him. After opening it, he took out an extremely exquisite green wine jar from it.
The wine jar is extremely petite, and it only accommodates two kilograms of wine at most. However, the wine jar is extremely exquisite and the materials are extremely exquisite. You can tell at a glance that the wine inside should be extremely precious.
Governor Peng is Lao Qiu Ba who came out of the military camp. Although he had been sitting in the position of governor for several years, his military aura was still not clean. The reason why he could sit in the position of governor was that he had left the Xie family's doorman. Governor Peng always regarded himself as the Xie family's doorman. In front of the Xie family, even in front of a junior, his posture was very low. Although people around him looked down on Governor Peng because of this, Governor Peng himself was willing to accept it.
Once, he had a concubine who knew a little about Xie Nan's romantic affairs, and he accidentally expressed his contempt for him at the dinner table. As soon as he finished speaking, Governor Peng ordered his servants to fork him down and implement the family law in court.
Governor Peng was still drinking and eating on the dining table. On the ground, he was a concubine who had just redeemed for eight hundred miles from the tram. Two wolves and tigers were holding water and fire sticks in their hands to carry out family rules behind the concubine. After eighty sticks, the concubine's buttocks were beaten to the bloody and bloody. Governor Peng had just eaten and drank enough, and said casually, and rewarded the concubine to the old beggar at the back door.
At that time, the two men sat at the same table and Governor Peng had dinner. In addition to the concubine, there were three other wives. These three wives didn't even dare to look at each other, let alone pleading for this sister. Since then, everyone in Governor Peng's family has been silent about the word Xie family, and no one dared to say another word.
Seeing this exquisite wine jar, Governor Peng smiled generously: "Mr. Xie, although this wine is a little more refined, the amount is too small. It's less than two pounds. To be honest, I, Lao Peng, can't drink it alone," said Mr. Peng.
Xie Xuan shook his head and smiled, gently lifted the green wine pot with his right hand and placed it in front of him for a long time, and then asked with a smile: "Lao Peng, do you know what the name of this wine pot is?"
Governor Peng shook his head and said the truth: "I, Lao Peng, just drink, but I still don't study much about wine. Looking at Mr. Xie's wine pot, it must be a fine wine. I, Lao Peng, must have never even heard of it."
Xie Xuan laughed, held the wine pot and turned to ask Ye Yangan, who was sitting upright beside him, and asked, "Yangan, do you know what the name of this wine pot is?"
Ye Yangan had been thinking for a long time, but he still had no idea at this time. He just shook his head and replied honestly: "Reply to Mr. Xie, Yangan had passed by him in his mind less than three times, but he had never seen such a wine pot before."
Governor Peng glanced at Ye Yangan and asked respectfully: "Dare you ask me, but Ye Yangan Ye Second Master of Ye's Mansion?"
Ye Yangan has always heard of Governor Peng's violent temper, and subconsciously said with fear and fear: "Mr. Peng is so serious, but he is so serious. In front of Lord Peng, he is so famous, but in front of Lord. Ye Yangan is so famous. If you don't dislike him, you will say that he is the next Yangan."
Governor Peng was extremely respectful at this time, smiling and shook his head, insisting: "Second Master, don't be polite. The Ye family's kind heart in Luoyun City is famous for not talking about anything else. Last year, my mother almost couldn't pass the New Year. Thanks to Mr. Ye's wonderful moves, she picked up my mother's life again. These great kindnesses can't be explained clearly in a few words."
Xie Xuan gently opened the wine plug. In an instant, the wine fragrance filled the pavilion in the middle of the lake. He handed the wine pot to the maid who was serving behind his back and said with a smile: "Now you two are my Xie Xuan's guests. Lao Peng, Yang An, don't get too far. Let me tell you, this wine pot is called Jiujiu Chunjiu, which was brought from Chang'an by my father's old friend. The royal wine is special. Its status and reputation in Chang'an are no worse than Chuntaojiu's status in Dongling Road. Yang An, we can drink this wine pot today, but if Lao Peng's mud legs drink, it will be a cow chewed peony."
At this time, the maid had already filled the pot of Jiujiuchun wine with three taels of wine. There was not much wine in the pot, only two and a half pounds, or forty taels. After going to the pot, only two-thirds of the remaining ones were left.
Governor Peng shook his head, lowered his head and smelled the aroma of the wine, and murmured in a low voice: "This wine is good wine, it is also good for Lao Peng to drink it as a cow and chew peonies, but the amount of wine is too small, which is enough for Lao Peng to drink two sips by himself. Young Master Xie, Lao Peng comes to eat this meal in the rain. You can't be so stingy. If you don't care about the wine, you would have brought the wine by yourself before you came."
Xie Xuan was not angry, and laughed and said, "Old Peng, you usually say you have no knowledge, you don't believe it, you are a stubborn bull, but now you have lost your knowledge. Although the portion of this Jiuzhuan Spring Brew is small, it's not that I lack your Lao Peng's wine. Why is this Jiuzhuan Spring Brew called Jiuzhuan Spring Brew? You won't understand if you don't drink it."
Governor Peng was skeptical and took the opportunity to raise the wine cup like a loud sound: "Old Peng's life is a good martial arts and a good wine. If you say that, I, Old Peng, must try it. Just follow this wine stubble, Old Peng gave Buddha to him. I wish you a cup of Mr. Ye."
All three were sitting upright. After three cups of wine were touched, Xie Xuan just pursed his lips. Ye Yangan drank one-third of them. Governor Peng was the most honest and drank all the wine in the cup. After that, he smashed his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "This wine is so precious, I haven't tasted much delicious. It tastes okay, but this kind of energy is really too..."
Before he finished speaking, Governor Peng felt a ball of fire flying upwards along his throat. In an instant, the wine putty turned fat and the words were flushed. The words were also held back, and his eyes were filled with blood, all with blood-red expressions.
Ye Yangan was not feeling well. He sniffed one-third of the wine cup. He did not feel any discomfort at first, but after one or two breaths of wine, he felt like a burning red knife was swallowed in his stomach. The knife was spinning around his stomach, making the face of this old man in his thirties red.
Seeing this, Xie Xuan laughed, picked up the chopsticks and copied the snow-white fish meat into his mouth. While chewing slowly, he asked with a smile: "Old Peng, how about this Jiuzhuan Spring Brew?"
Governor Peng's face was flushed as pig's liver, and he was already stuttering. When he heard Xie Xuan ask, he burped and waved his hand and spit out four words with great difficulty: "I... I'm on the head."
"The name of this Jiuzhuan Spring Brew is not called in vain. When you first enter the mouth, it feels soft, but it is amazing. You have to experience nine twists and turns before you can completely surrender this sip of wine." Xie Xuan shook his head and smiled, picked up the chopsticks and signaled, "Come on, Yang'an, Lao Peng, eat chopstick dishes to suppress the wine. Drink this Jiuzhuan Spring Brew, you can't drink this Jiuzhuan Spring Brew so recklessly with other wines. I tell you, this Jiuzhuan Spring Brew must be taken only a little at the mouth, so that it evenly applies it to the inner wall of the mouth, so that a thin layer is hung in the mouth, and then take advantage of the wine to eat another bite of the dish. This tastes really beautiful."
After all, Ye Yangan was unable to drink, and his face turned red at this time. He hurriedly took the chopsticks and brought a large piece of snow-white and tender fish into his mouth. He was shocked and praised him: "Mr. Xie, this fish is really delicious... It doesn't look good, but when it comes into his mouth, the taste is really unspeakable. I don't think this fish is added with fermented black beans, shredded green onion, oil and salt sauce, etc., why does it taste so delicious?"
"Hahaha, Brother Yang'an, you're asking such a question." Xie Xuan's face showed a playful and admirable smile. He picked a chopstick of fish and sent it to his mouth. After a look of intoxication appeared on his face, he slowly said, "Yangan, listen to me and tell you slowly. First, this fish is not an ordinary carp, grass carp, but a rare perch. Isn't there a poem that once said, 'The perch is so beautiful, it's better to go back'. The meat of this perch is indeed tenderer than other fish. This is natural and cannot be learned by other fish."
"The second thing is how this bass is raised. Yang'an, listen to me and tell you, in the future, you must remember that you must not eat river fish. The water quality of the river fish is turbid and the meat is poor. When you eat it, you have a scent of the fish. A small part of the sea fish is delicious, but most of the sea fish are not good. The sea water is too rough and the fish meat is not delicate. Only the fish in this big lake have good water quality and tender fish meat. The big lake must be open, and the fish have plenty of space to grind away the fat on their bodies. Look at the thin lake of Xie's family, which leads to the water of Daosha River. The lake surface is open, and the water quality is beyond words. The bass here is really delicious."
As Xie Xuan told the story, this different dinner in the Huxin Pavilion began. He ate fish, meat and vegetables in big mouthfuls, but the wine had never moved much.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the drunken three began to talk about serious matters.
At this time, the first thing that was hit in Luoyun City was naturally a major disaster relief event. Ye Yangan had already met Xie Xuan and passed the air. Now what he said was basically decided. The disaster relief matter was extremely serious at this time. Relying on the grain reserves in Luoyun City alone, one cannot do a truly foolproof evil. So it was to let the Ye family and several other big families take the lead and first let the refugees get through the difficulties. Then the food from Dongling Road and even Chang'an came over. So now, the most rare thing in Luoyun City is how to solve this urgent problem and how to safely survive the time from the disaster to the arrival of food.
