It can be said that Niugao now makes a living by selling firewood and working as a woodcutter. He is also good at hunting and often hunts wild animals to supplement the family income. However, selling firewood and hunting alone can barely save enough to support his mother and wife. What spare money? Tianlai novel
But he was also a reckless man who was addicted to alcohol. When he went to the county town to sell firewood, he could not move when he passed by the wine shop and smelled the aroma of wine. Although some people in the county invited Niu Gao to have a drink because they saw Niu Gao's down-to-earth and straightforward nature, Niu Gao could not move. Gao started to drink heavily. After a long time, who would be willing to spend money to treat him?
Xiao Tang just took advantage of it and said to Niu Gao, "I want to treat him to a few jars of fine wine." He immediately pulled out the wine worm in Niu Gao's stomach. If others gave him gold and silk, the honest Niu Gao would probably not refuse. Go collect it, but if someone wants to treat him to a drink, he will be heartbroken. After Niu Gao hesitated for a while, he secretly said: It's rare that this person is willing to treat me to a drink without having a close relationship with me. .There is nothing I can do to return the favor to him. He is willing to invite me, so I just have to remember his kindness.
Thinking of this, Niu Gao stood up and said: "Since you are so tired, I will accept this favor from you!"
Xiao Tang was standing next to Xuan Zan. Seeing that Niu Gao was so greedy for good wine, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are quite an interesting guy. Just now Master Xiao was kind enough to buy your firewood but you were unwilling to do so. But when I heard that he wanted to drink wine, you were so happy!" But you are leaving, what will happen to the firewood?"
Niu Gao said impatiently: "We are all fellow villagers from the same county. They also know that I got this firewood. If you need it, just ask them to get some. How much money can you spend?"
Tang Pengxiu on the side heard this, his little cherry mouth opened into an O shape, and he said clearly that he was going out for a tryst, you just want to get to know the big man, why don't you go and drink with him as he said this? La? "This big bad guy, this stinky guy, didn't want to come out with me and pulled him down. Why did he come out and then leave again? Do you think I have a good temper and can be dealt with easily? You can invite me again next time... This girl can't I have to ask you to beg me a few more times before agreeing..."
Xiao Tang turned to look at Tang Pengxiu and said apologetically: "Sister Pengxiu, during this trip to the west of Beijing, you and I will see each other day and night, but I don't know when we will be able to see each other again, this brave Niu Gao... The first time I neglected my sister, I will make up for it next time."
Tang Pengxiu Xiaoyao snorted, although she was a little annoyed in her heart, Xiao Tang looked apologetic, she felt soft in her heart, and thought: Okay, since he knows he is wrong, the worst is to call him Young Master next time Please ask me twice...
I don't know how long Niu Gao had been craving for wine. He led Xiao Tang and others through two streets and followed the smell of wine to a restaurant, but he heard the shouts of the drinkers inside and the shouts of the waiters. It seems to be a lively place.
When Niu Gao entered the building, the waiter rushed over to greet him. When the waiter saw it was Niu Gao, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Niu is so lucky today, who else wants to treat you to a drink?"
Niu Gao wiped his lips and said: "Since you know, why are you asking so many questions? Just follow the old rules!" The waiter looked behind Niu Gao and said, "But this time there are many guests coming with Brother Niu." , how can only two plates of meat be enough?”
Niu Gao said even more impatiently: "What are you asking? But if you have meat that you can drink with wine, you just sell it, and this official will calculate the money with you."
The waiter smiled and put the handkerchief on his shoulder and said: "Okay! Let's put the vegetable and meat soup on the table and pour it into the wine. As usual, we'll make thirty kilograms of wine first! We don't need a small cup, just use a big bowl to sift it!"
Xiao Tang, Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi, Xuan Zan, and Hao Siwen were all shocked when they heard the words "30 pounds of wine". Although the alcohol content of grain wine, fruit wine, and rice wine in this season is
Most of them are around 12 or 13 degrees Celsius, but there is no such way of drinking like holding thirty kilograms of wine to show off.
As for Li Bai, the master of wine, "for thirty-six thousand days in a hundred years, he must drink three hundred cups a day", and Chen Houzhu, the conquered king, "drank one stone a day" are exaggerated metaphors by some literati. The most famous example of excessive drinking in the Northern Song Dynasty is not
Shi Yannian, an alcoholic writer who is as famous as Ouyang Xiu, competed with the righteous Liu Qian in drinking capacity, and drank happily in a newly opened restaurant, drinking from morning till night without changing his expression.
This Niu Gao is indeed a man who will die after drinking. After hearing this, Yang Zhi couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are a man who is so greedy for alcohol, why don't you buy alcohol to take a bath?"
Niu Gao's face became a little narrow at this time, and he said: "Since you are officials, how much money do you have to spend? I usually only like to drink wine, but today I never thought that someone would come to invite me. This favor is my own.
I will remember and I will pay you back one day."
Xiao Tang looked at Niu Gao at this time, and felt that he had a bit more of the gag-like appearance in the novels and storytelling. He laughed and said: "I think brother Niu Gao is a straightforward man, and a few drinks are nothing.
Will you pay me back?"
When Niu Gao heard what Xiao Tang said, he was quite pleased with Xiao Tang. After a while, when the waiter and the bartender came over with the wine jar, Niu Gao thanked him in a naive voice, then picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
, is also very heroic and comfortable.
Master Wen Ruian, the master of martial arts novels, once said: Those who drink heavily are heroes. Those who do not drink are gentlemen. Those who dare not drink are those who cannot let go and do not dare to get drunk. Those who pretend to be drunk are hypocrites. Those who always want to get people drunk are villains.
.The person who always persuades others to drink while never drinking is a real villain. The person who doesn’t like drinking is an honest person. The person who always likes to drink is a cute person... But Niu Gao’s drinking method is totally wrong.
Like a "lovable hero".
Since someone was inviting him, Niu Gao had better not neglect Xiao Tang and others. After Niu Gao raised their bowls to each other one by one and drank wine for several rounds, the green-faced beast Yang Zhi quickly drank and turned into a red-faced beast; Dadao Guan Sheng's face was rosy.
, the appearance is more similar to that of his ancestors; Xuan Zan has straight eyes and has begun to speak with a big tongue; and Hao Siwen, the lightest drinker, drank four or five kilograms and turned around and lay on the table.
at every turn......
Xiao Tang was already drunk at this time. Although he was feeling refreshed, he also felt dizzy. Although he was also used to drinking distilled high-strength liquor in later generations, judging from the current body's alcohol absorption capacity, it would not take long for him to drink alcohol.
Even after pouring several kilograms of strong liquor into his mouth, it was too much for him.
At this time, Niu Gao was heard shouting, "Xiaoer! Give me another twenty pounds!"
Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng and others were always eye-catching. Among them, Yang Zhi was working in the palace commander's house. He was usually very cautious for fear of losing his manners in front of Shangguan. How could he dare to drink so much? Although Guan Sheng, the great sword, likes to drink, his drinking capacity is average (Water Margin)
In the end, he fell from his horse due to drunkenness and fell ill, and died of illness.) Xuanzan was not reused in Busi Yamen, and his close friends Guan Sheng and others were far away in Pudong. Naturally, there were few colleagues and friends in the capital to share a drink with...
...They just looked at Niu Gao's bold appearance and knew that even if they worked together, they couldn't drink him alone.
The bartender smiled and brought the wine jar to the table and poured the two full bowls of wine. Xiao Tang felt that the smell of wine was a bit pungent and could not help but frown. At this time, Niu Gao turned to him
He smiled and said, "I see you have some capacity for drinking, which is exactly what I want! How about we drink together again?"
Xiao Tang saw Niu Gao looking eager to try. It seemed that he, who usually didn't have a drinking partner, regarded Xiao Tang as a drinking buddy with whom he could compete. This was true, Niu Gao was addicted to alcohol but he drank so much.
, who else can accompany him?
In the Water Margin, the heroes of Liangshan drink and eat meat all day long. At this critical moment, the two brothers Luda and Wu Song are not here. I wonder if they can win or lose with this drunkard...
.. Xiao Tang couldn't help but think that it was just a drunken scene at most, so what's the big deal? After all, I have to support the Liangshan hero, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang puffed up his chest and said loudly: "When you meet a close friend, a thousand cups are too little. Naturally, I will risk my life to accompany the strong man today. Come on!" He picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all. Niu.
Seeing that Xiao Tang was drinking neatly and boldly, Gao laughed loudly and said: "Happy! I have made your friend Niu Gao!" After saying that, he picked up the bowl, raised his neck and drank it all, and then he couldn't wait to pour it.
Got two big bowls.
After a while, Xiao Tang and Niu Gao had a bowl for you, a bowl for me, and more than a dozen bowls of wine. At this time, his mind was already in chaos, and Niu Gao was also slightly drunk at this time. He saw Xiao Tang open and bright
, the feeling of closeness has arisen in my heart.
Niu Gao burped again. He extended his thumb to Xiao Tang and praised: "It's rare for me, Niu Gao, to have an official like you respect me... I'm honored to be invited by you...
I'll drink with you until I'm happy, but I don't eat your wine for free. As long as I, Niu Gao, can be found around Lushan County, just talk! But feel free to mention anything I can do to help. If I, Niu Gao, can help me,
A half-assed excuse is not a good man!"
Xiao Tangwu was so drunk that he finally heard what Niu Gao said and cheered up. Just when he was about to think of a good word to win over Niu Gao, he suddenly felt anxious and his eyes went dark, and his head hit the table hard.
I played a few bullets on it, but it was all broken...
