"Okay, there's no reason to shirk a beauty's invitation to drink, not to mention the mellow and fragrant wine."
Lin Kun picked up the wine cup and saluted Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan smiled and there was a pleasant sound of the wine cups clinking. They both raised their heads at the same time and drank the wine in one gulp.
The waiter put the remaining dishes on the table and brought over two more plates of side dishes.
Liu Ruyan looked at the waiter, and the waiter immediately said with a smile: "h means the shopkeeper downstairs. Miss Liu is a regular customer here. I will give you two side dishes, which makes ten dishes, which means perfect and beautiful pictures."
It’s auspicious.”
"Thank you, please also say thank you to the shopkeeper downstairs for me." Liu Ruyan said with a smile. The expression on the waiter's face immediately became unnatural, and he lowered his head shyly, not daring to meet her eyes.
, responded and turned around to go downstairs.
Lin Kun said with a smile: "Miss Liu, it seems that you have a great reputation, but a beautiful woman like you always comes to such a little-known tavern to drink..."
Before Lin Kun could finish speaking, Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "The wine here is mellow and mellow, which can't be found in other places. And for our table, plus two jugs of wine, how much does your dish cost?"
?”
Lin Kun picked up a piece of soy pork liver and put it into his mouth. He nodded and said, "This liver tastes good. Even some big hotels may not have this taste."
Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "So, how much do you think our table will cost?"
Lin Kun said with a smile: "If this was in a big hotel, it would definitely cost over a thousand, but in this small tavern, it would cost at least three to five hundred to be worthy of this quality."
Liu Ruyan smiled and said: "What we have in front of us only costs more than a hundred yuan."
"What?"
Lin Kun looked at Liu Ruyan in disbelief and said, "Why is it so cheap?"
Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "My father used to be a brewer. Generations of our family have been doing it, and there is only one male in each generation. It has been passed down alone for hundreds of years, but by my father's generation this incense has been discontinued."
, there are only two daughters, me and my sister.”
As she spoke, Liu Ruyan filled a glass of wine, put it to her mouth and took a sip. The aroma and mellow aroma of the wine lingered on her tongue, and a touch of red rose to her cheeks.
Putting down the wine glass, Liu Ruyan continued: "About twenty years ago, our family used to have a very good life. My father had an ancestral craft and brewed his own wine and sold it in the streets. At that time, he only had to fill it with wine.
As soon as the bottles of wine were put out, they were sold out quickly. However, the stable and prosperous days did not make my father feel happy. He wanted to have a son and pass on his craftsmanship, but after my mother gave birth to me,
I won’t be able to give birth.”
"When I was five years old, my father beat my mother one night and said a lot of unpleasant words. After that, my mother left and left me and my sister. Originally I hated my mother, but after that
A few days later, my dad brought home a young woman, who was pregnant at the time, and my dad was very happy."
Liu Ruyan drank all the wine in the glass, and Lin Kun picked up a small wine bottle and poured it for her. Liu Ruyan continued: "The woman was pregnant with a son. She said it was my father's, and she gave birth to him later.
It is indeed a boy. My father regarded that woman and the child as his treasure and completely ignored my sister and me. We both dropped out of school early and did housework at home, taking care of the woman and the child, haha..."
Liu Ruyan's lips curved into a wry smile, with a trace of sarcasm in it, "When the boy was three years old, the neighbors spread gossip that the child looked nothing like my dad. Every time my dad heard it,
He wanted to curse, but later he secretly took the child for a paternity test. It turned out that the child was really not his. My father beat that woman. In fact, she didn’t know who the child was. She used to be one of the people in the karaoke bar.
The dancing girl has no idea whose child she is pregnant with."
"The woman stole all the money from the family and left with the boy. My father suddenly became a joke in the eyes of the neighbors. He seemed to have aged a lot overnight. He began to give up on himself and drank his own brew.
He drank alcohol day and night, and once he almost died from drinking, so my sister and I sent him to the hospital."
"After he was rescued, his tongue failed. After he could no longer taste wine, he could no longer make a mellow wine. His family's life became more and more miserable. He often went to nightclubs and stayed up all night. He almost borrowed money from loan sharks.
After being beaten to death, one time a loan shark came to my house asking for money and targeted my sister and me. That was the first time in my life that I felt desperate. In the end, it was my father who protected me and my sister with his life."
Hearing this, Lin Kun sighed and said, "Fortunately, he is still a conscientious person."
Liu Ruyan said: "My father's nature is not bad. He once loved my mother very much, but the craftsmanship of the Liu family's brewing cannot be lost, and it has always been passed down from male to female. This is a knot in his heart that has accumulated in his heart.
If the headache lasts for a long time, it will explode."
"When I was fourteen years old, my father became seriously ill and left me and my sister behind. Before he died, my father told me and my sister that if we had the chance to see my mother again, we must pay homage to me on his behalf.
Mom apologizes. Even if I work as a cow or a horse in the next life, I will repay what I owe my mother."
Lin Kun said: "Did you and your sister meet your mother later?"
Liu Ruyan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have never seen him again. My mother hated my father. She may never forgive her in her life. She also hated us two because we are my father's children. When my mother was young,
She is a beauty, but it is a pity that neither my sister nor I look like her."
Lin Kun smiled and said: "So, your dad should be a handsome guy too."
Liu Ruyan smiled and said: "My dad is indeed handsome, but since he was hit, he has become decadent. Have you ever seen a man age ten years in one night? My dad knows that the boy is not his.
Half of my hair turned gray in one night."
Lin Kun said: "Either some stubborn ideas of the older generation are harmful to people, because they want a son to inherit the family's craftsmanship, and as a result, the family is broken up and the wife is separated."
Liu Ruyan said: "I used to hate my dad and thought he was stubborn. But it is this stubbornness that is the essential difference between their older generation and our younger generation. They are loyal to their family heritage.
, and many of our people today have forgotten their origins more and more."
Lin Kun said: "I understand what I heard here. This tavern is not owned by your sister, is it? Then the lady who is the shopkeeper downstairs is your sister, right?"
Liu Ruyan smiled and shook her head, saying: "My sister is not here, and my sister doesn't run this place. I run it here, and I make all the wine here."
"ah?"
Lin Kun was slightly surprised, then smiled and said: "I bet you and the waiter in the shop were acting in front of me just now. In the end, did your father pass on the wine-making skills to you?" (To be continued)
