Me and my Jianghu Tavern

Zhang Ming looked at the deep affection between the two masters and servants, in fact, he could understand it, but this old servant was a little too hasty.

Jiang Rou glanced at Zhang Ming in front of the counter, and said, "I've offended you so much before, I hope the shopkeeper won't take offense."

Zhang Ming nodded, didn't speak, continued to drink his own wine, and didn't bother to care about these two people, but the old servant still had a wicked look, so he should pay more attention.

Seeing him nodding, Jiang Rou backed away.

Zhang Bo gave Zhang Ming a cold look, then followed Jiang Rou and sat back in his seat.

The rain hasn't stopped yet, and the wine hasn't been finished yet, so the two of them are not in a hurry to leave.

After a long silence, Uncle Zhang said, "Miss, I have to explain this matter to the master."

Jiang Rou nodded, she drank another glass of plum wine, and said, "Send a letter back when you arrive in Jian'an City."

Jiang Rou looked out the window at the drizzle, and the tavern was warm and heart-warming.

Daddy, my illness is almost cured, I am no longer a trouble to the Jiang family, you will be very happy, right?

Chapter 20: This person... I'm afraid he doesn't run a black shop?

Xu Yi has been very busy recently. For 40 taels of silver, he was so worried that he couldn't even eat. Today is already a three-day deadline, and he only managed to scrape together three taels of silver.

He didn't think it was difficult at first, because he grew up in Taoist sect and never went down the mountain, so he didn't know much about the amount of silver. After he understood it, he realized how important it is to earn 40 taels of silver in three days. How difficult.

Feeling ashamed, Xu Yi stepped into Jianghu Tavern again.

Zhang Ming looked at the people who came, at this moment, Xu Yi was no longer as vigorous as before, and his face was full of frustration. This Daoist Daoist was stumped by his pot of wine just after he came down the mountain.

"The shopkeeper..." Xu Yi raised his head, gritted his teeth, and took out a jade pendant from his bosom.

"It is you."

Zhang Ming looked at the jade pendant. It was moist and waxy. It was a good product and should be very valuable, but he didn't expect that the little Taoist priest would actually come back.

"Pindao doesn't have 40 taels of silver, but Pindao has a jade pendant here, you can get it here first, and I will come here to redeem it when I have all the silver." Xu Yi explained, as if he was relieved.

Jiang Rou and the two heard the reputation, saw that it was a Taoist priest, and heard words like 40 taels. It seemed that the Taoist priest owed money to the shopkeeper and came to pay off the debt.

Zhang Ming smiled slightly, and said, "Why don't you find a pawn shop and pawn it to me, so you're so sure I'll accept it?"

"It's very difficult to redeem it after finding a pawn shop." Xu Yi explained.

Zhang Ming glanced at the little Taoist priest. He didn't intend to make things difficult for the little Taoist priest. He bet with him just because he was bored. Zhang Ming admired the little Taoist priest for being so punctual and trustworthy.

"Okay, then I'll keep this jade pendant for you first. By the way, you don't owe me 40 taels, but 44 taels. You haven't paid for the drink last time." Zhang Ming played with the jade pendant in his hand. Don't say it, it's pretty.

Xu Yi nodded, gritted his teeth and agreed, "I understand."

Zhang Ming was quite curious about this Taoist priest, like fortune-telling and feng shui. Although these metaphysical things are bluffing, they are sometimes quite accurate, especially since he has come to such a world.

Zhang Ming smiled inwardly, and said, "Little Taoist priest, do you still drink? I have new wine here, eight taels a pot, cheap."

"Wine?" Xu Yi was stunned for a moment. He recalled the taste of the fermented glutinous rice wine before.

Xu Yi came back to his senses, shook his head quickly and said, "No, no need, poor people don't have money to drink."

He knew that his Dao mind was unstable again, and this wine was harmful to people. In the past three days, he missed the taste of the wine more than once, and his Dao mind was disturbed.

"Aren't you Taoist priests very good at fortune-telling? How about I buy you a drink if you do the math for me?"

Jiang Rou, who was sitting, also became curious when she heard this, and stretched her neck to listen to the Taoist priest. Uncle Zhang was not very curious. He had met many Taoist priests before, but they were all fake, and he could only boast That's all.

"But Pindao can't tell fortunes."

Xu Yi shook his head. He knew that people in the world had misunderstood again. They always thought that Taoist priests were fortune-tellers. In fact, it was not the case. Not all the brothers in the Taoist sect learned fortune-telling. They also had sword training, physical training and so on.

"No..." Zhang Ming was a little disappointed, he curled his lips and continued to ask, "Then what will you do?"

Xu Yi scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Poverty is a swordsman, if you insist on what you can do, maybe... you can fight too."

"..." Zhang Ming was speechless. This was the first time he had heard a Taoist priest say that he could only fight. He couldn't help but suspect that this guy was really a Daoist of the Taoist sect?How do you feel like a not-so-intelligent dumb.

Zhang Ming waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's go, it's really boring."

Xu Yi heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Let me go, I hope the shopkeeper will take good care of that jade pendant, and I will come to redeem it when I have all the money."

Zhang Ming nodded nonchalantly, and poured himself another glass of wine.

Xu Yi turned around and left. When he walked to the entrance of the tavern, he saw several carriages driving on the pipeline outside. He just glanced at it, and then walked towards Jian'an City.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the tavern, and a young man wearing luxurious brocade clothes stepped down from it. This man was Gongsun Yu, who promised Zhang Ming to come to give gifts yesterday, and came early this morning.

After Gongsun Yu got off the carriage, a group of attendants began to disassemble the goods, some green vegetables, wine and meat, and a big box that would take two or three people to carry.

Zhang Ming in the tavern heard the movement and stretched his neck to look outside. When he saw Gongsun Yu, he knew it and stood up to meet him.

Gongsun Yu clasped his fan in his hand and said, "Brother, why is your tavern here?"

If it was like a post station, he would not have asked such a question. The key point is that this tavern is exquisitely crafted and beautifully carved. It is not an ordinary handwriting. How can such a tavern be opened here.

"I just like it." Zhang Ming cupped his hands.

Gongsun Yu laughed and said, "I didn't expect Xiongtai to be such an interesting person. My lord, Gongsun Yu, was so anxious to leave yesterday that Xiongtai forgot to ask Xiongtai's name."

"My name is Zhang Ming, go to the bar first, don't talk outside, it's so cold."

"Alright, just take a look at Brother Zhang's tavern." Gongsun Yu nodded, and then called the servants behind him to move things into the tavern.

Jiang Rou saw a lot of people coming outside, especially the noble young man who is very extraordinary, could it be the people behind this tavern?

"This person is...Gongsun Yu?" Uncle Zhang frowned. He had seen some people in Jian'an City every year, and this Gongsun Yu was one of them.

"Who is that?" Jiang Rou asked.

"There are three great families in Jian'an City, the Gongsun family, the Wu family, and the Liu family. Among them, the Gongsun family is the head, and that person is the eldest son of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Yu." Uncle Zhang explained.

Jiang Rou nodded, as if she knew that this person was an extraordinary person.

"Leave it here."

"Give those to me, and I'll put them away."

"Yes, yes, put it here."

Zhang Ming directed the people brought by Gongsun Yu to put down the goods. He really didn't expect Gongsun Yu to bring so many things.

"Brother Gongsun, you have given too much." Zhang Ming wiped his sweat.

"Hahaha, not too much, not too much, what is this thing?"

Gongsun Yu said with a smile, he was looking at the interior of this tavern just now, and after a closer look, he realized that this tavern is not ordinary, it is much better than the Yuqiong Tower in Jian'an City, it is a pleasure to be able to drink here ah.

"Go and wait outside." Gongsun Yu waved his hand.

Zhang Ming sat across from Gongsun Yu. To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for this man. He only thought that Gongsun Yu was here to show off his wealth.

Gongsun Yu looked at the wine eyes on the wall, and he was frightened when he glanced at it. He couldn't help asking: "Such a big tavern only sells fermented glutinous rice? And it also sells four taels a pot!"

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "There is also a kind of plum blossom wine, eight taels a pot, which was brewed just today and hasn't been hung yet."

Gongsun Yu raised his eyebrows, and he saw the tavern rules written by Zhang Ming again. The handwriting was crooked, and Gongsun Yu's mouth twitched when he saw it.

"This...Brother Zhang, what kind of business do you...?" Gongsun Yu couldn't help asking.

Four taels of silver for a bowl of fermented glutinous rice?

Can one person only buy one pot a day?

Wine can't be taken out of the pub?

This person...doesn't run a black shop!

Chapter 21: I can't find the words.

"Brother Zhang, what kind of business are you...?"

Seeing Gongsun Yu's embarrassed expression, Zhang Ming replied, "Isn't my place a tavern?"

Could it be that you can't see it?

Gongsun Yu was wondering, although he hadn't been out of the city much recently, he had never seen a tavern here, and there seemed to be something wrong with this tavern.

"Yes, I know it's a tavern, but your wine..." Gongsun Yu couldn't say any more.

Zhang Ming somewhat understood what Gongsun Yu was thinking, so he explained: "No, this is not a black shop, the wine is worth the price."

Gongsun Yu was stunned. Logically speaking, Zhang Ming didn't need to lie to himself, but he didn't believe that fermented glutinous rice can be sold for four liang.

Seeing that Gongsun Yu was still puzzled, Jiang Rou on the side table helped Zhang Ming and said, "The shopkeeper is not lying, but I think it's a bargain."

After all, Jiang Rou poured herself a glass of plum blossom wine. The more she drank it, the more she liked it. She had never liked drinking like this before.

Zhang Ming looked over and smiled at Jiang Rou, as if thanking him for speaking for him, etiquette still needs to be met.

Gongsun Yu looked around and saw two people sitting on the table behind him. He was a little shaken when he heard what the woman said, so he said, "Then, let's have a pot."

"Four pairs of fermented glutinous rice wine, one pot of eight pairs of plum blossom wine, which one do you want?"

Zhang Ming asked, he looked at Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Yu seemed a little puzzled, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion.

"Ahem." Gongsun Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, forced a smile, and said, "Then... let's all have a pot, and take care of Brother Zhang's business."

"Wait." After speaking, Zhang Ming went to get the wine.

Gongsun Yu was a little depressed, he thought that Zhang Ming would invite him to drink, and his family came to give gifts anyway, is it really okay to entertain him like this, Jian'an is the territory of Gongsun's family, and he has never been treated like this here.

He shook his head and didn't care about these things any more. He, Gongsun Yu, was not a small-hearted person, and just bringing his younger brother back was worth his thanks.

"But this price is indeed a bit ugly." Gongsun Yu sighed, 12 taels of silver, not much, but he felt a little uncomfortable, always feeling that he was being slaughtered.

Jiang Rou covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Young master, after you drink the shopkeeper's wine, not only will you not feel it is expensive, but it will also feel cheap."

Uncle Zhang didn't speak, but he was a little happy in his heart. The young lady doesn't like to talk to outsiders, and the young lady's appearance shows that she is very happy now.

Gongsun Yu smiled helplessly, and asked, "Is the girl a regular visitor to the tavern?"

Jiang Rou shook her head and denied, "No, I just arrived in Jian'an City today, and it's my first time drinking here."

Gongsun Yu nodded, didn't say anything, just smiled secretly, "Brother Zhang, you are really a traitor, and you even found a special entrustment."

After a while, he saw Zhang Ming coming out with a plate, on which were two jugs of wine and a pair of white porcelain cups, and placed the wine in front of Gongsun Yu, Zhang Ming sat down again.

"Try?" Zhang Ming's face was cold, not because he was dissatisfied, but because he had facial paralysis.

"This pot is sweet-scented osmanthus fermented glutinous rice, which counts as half wine." Zhang Ming said.

Gongsun Yu held the jug in his hand, and asked with some doubts: "Half wine?"

"Yes, because it is fermented glutinous rice, I feel that this wine can only be counted as half." Zhang Mingjiu explained without saying anything.

Gongsun Yu smiled helplessly, and then poured himself a cup. The yellow osmanthus fermented glutinous rice fell into the cup, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus filled his mind. For a moment, Gongsun Yu was a little confused.

"The aroma of this wine..." Gongsun Yu thought for a while, and after holding back for a long time, he finally said three words, "It's very special."

After speaking, he took a sip.

The wine slipped down his throat, and the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed in his mouth. Gongsun Yu's eyes were a little dull, and he was stunned: "What the hell is this wine?"

Seeing him staring at him, Zhang Ming didn't speak.

Suddenly, Gongsun Yu felt a strange feeling coming from his dantian, and his internal strength seemed to increase a little, which made him puzzled.

breakthrough?But no, why is there so much more?Too little.

Gongsun's family is the head of the three great families in Jian'an City. Gongsun Yu has drunk countless good wines. Ever since he drank Baihua Niang from Qingyu Tower, he felt that no wine could surpass Baihua Niang. But after drinking this bowl of fermented glutinous rice today, His mind has changed a bit.

"Is this fermented glutinous rice?"

Gongsun Yu couldn't help being puzzled, but this was indeed the taste of rice wine, and it felt a little different.

Is this wine?

Gongsun Yu frowned and looked at Zhang Ming. Brother Zhang said it was only half of the wine, but in his opinion, this is a modest statement. This bowl of fermented glutinous rice can almost compare with all the wine in the world.

Gongsun Yu poured himself another cup and tasted it again. It was as delicious as before, and it really was a fairy brew.

Four taels a pot, really cheap.

"Wait, it seems... the internal strength has increased again..." Gongsun Yu was stunned, and he looked at the wine in his hand.
