Me and my Jianghu Tavern

"jingle!"

The silver fell into the bowl, and the beggar opened his eyes as if he heard the sound of nature.

He saw Zhang Ming standing in front of him, and the broken silver in the bowl.

The old beggar smiled and thanked: "Thank you, sir!! Thank you, master!"

"Do you like to drink?" Zhang Ming asked.

"What do you want to ask, sir?" The old beggar smiled, but he was staring at the broken silver in the bowl, feeling happy.

"Do you know that there is good wine in Chang'an City?" Zhang Ming asked.

The old beggar was stunned for a moment, and asked: "You can find anyone on the street and ask why you are looking for me, a beggar."

"Don't you want to?" Zhang Ming said, taking another look at the broken silver in the bowl.

"There, how could you not want to." The old beggar smiled, quickly grabbed the silver in the bowl, and held it in his hand, as if he was afraid that Zhang Ming would go back on his word.

After finishing speaking, the old beggar started talking to Zhang Ming.

"The best wine in Chang'an City, in my opinion, is the Jasper Wine from the Cuiyu Building, followed by..."

"Stop, you've had all of this?"

"No, sir, I just heard that it shouldn't be bad."

"Tell me you drank."

"what?"

The old beggar was stunned for a moment, and said, "Then there is nothing to say."

"Just say it," Zhang Ming said.

The old beggar paused, but stretched out his hand and opened it. The broken silver appeared in front of Zhang Ming. The old beggar said: "Master, don't make things difficult for me, an old beggar."

Zhang Ming looked at the old beggar, and there seemed to be fear in those cloudy eyes.

The old beggar was afraid, afraid that Zhang Ming was playing tricks with him, he only had this life, and he regarded it as a treasure, but in the eyes of others, he could count everything.

This is the last breath of the people living in this depression, and they don't even dare to resist.

Only compromise.

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "You take the money, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, I'm just asking for wine."

The old beggar pondered for a moment, but he didn't withdraw his hand.

The broken silver was still in his hands.

Zhang Ming didn't take it, and the old beggar didn't dare to withdraw his hand.

Zhang Ming secretly sighed, the ancient society was not all good.

Some people live like grass, and some are high above them. They live in their own way, and they are even very careful in order to survive.

Zhang Ming squatted down, looked at the beggar, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

The old beggar froze in place, his arms trembling slightly.

Finally let go of the vigilance in his heart, and asked a high-ranking son, but he stooped to look at him, an old beggar, why should he doubt anymore.

The old beggar took a deep breath, retracted his hand, and accepted the broken silver.

"Master, just ask, I will say what I know."

The old beggar's eyes were extremely sincere, he was no longer as scared as before, he believed in Zhang Ming.

"Say you've drunk it." Zhang Ming smiled and said, "The best wine."

.........

.........

At the corner of the street, the old beggar wiped the broken silver in his bosom, grinning, thinking maybe he could buy more wine tomorrow, so that he would not worry about being hungry for a few days.

The old beggar looked up at the son who was leaving.

Begging in Chang'an for many years, even the passing children would stay away from him, let alone those who are superior.

The old beggar knew very well that some people could kill him with a single word.

The old beggar regards his rotten life as a treasure, but those people treat it as worthless.

The moment Zhang Ming squatted down, the old beggar only felt warm in his heart, and thought: It turns out that not everyone in Chang'an City is cold-hearted, just like this rare warmth.

The son said that he would come to look for him tomorrow, and asked him to find the wine sold by Mrs. Liu, and he didn't think he was coaxing him.

The old beggar thought to himself, if only everyone in the world was like this.

If so, he wouldn't be full of alcohol now.

Chapter 240: Sauvignon Blanc

Zhang Ming got the answer from the mouth of the old beggar.

If one were to ask why such a beggar was asked, partly it was because the beggar knew wine, if not, he would not be smelling of wine, and secondly, it was the pity in his heart.

If Zhang Ming has money, he can ask anyone on the street, but if he gives it to this beggar, he can get food and clothing for another person for several days, isn't it good?

He was planning to go back here, but suddenly saw a tavern.

The waiter at the entrance of the tavern was yelling, "Come and have a look, whoever guesses the riddle right will get a jar of good wine, not a penny, just take a look..."

Zhang Ming stopped walking when he heard the sound.

Guessing and giving wine?

He looked up at the tavern's sign—there's a tavern.

"Shouldn't it be called Youjian Inn?" Zhang Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He was not the only one who was attracted by the little girl's yelling, there was always someone to come and see such a cheap thing.

Zhang Ming stepped into the tavern.

But I saw that the tavern was already full of people, there were wines on the tables, and there were many standing people, with their eyes closed and deep in thought, as if they were thinking about something.

In the center of the tavern hung a piece of rice paper with a few words written on it.

【Regret to fly away, weeping willows into the eyes, resting on the cheeks, heartbroken from hatred. 】

There are three jars of wine on the table, presumably it is a reward for answering.

"That's the question." Zhang Ming muttered.

But I heard the shopkeeper come in, then greeted, looked at the person who was thinking about it below and said: "Everyone, I have three questions tonight, if you can't answer this question, there are two more questions, if no one can answer all three questions , these three jars of wine can’t be sent out.”

The shopkeeper is dressed in brocade clothes, with a big belly, fat head and big ears, and he presumably comes from a good family background.

"Hateful, how can I answer this?"

"Shopkeeper, is it love?"

"no!"

"Ah, what the hell is it?"

Everyone racked their brains and couldn't think of an answer to this question.

The shopkeeper looked at this scene and smiled with relief. No one answered, but he could save a jar of wine, and by the way, he also gave the tavern a reputation.

"Give me some hints, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper smiled, and said with a smile: "Okay, then give me some hints, it's not a word anyway."

"Is this also a reminder?"

"That's right!"

"If you can't answer, you can't make trouble." The shopkeeper said.

"Hey, no."

Even if a hint is given, no one can think of the answer.

Some people have tried a lot, but they are all wrong, and no one can tell the real answer.

The shopkeeper looked at it for a long time, but no one could answer, so he said, "Is there anyone else who wants to answer? If not, it's over."

No one stepped forward to answer the question, and they all shook their heads and thought it was a pity.

There was silence in the tavern, and there was no sound.

But at this moment, a voice came from the corner of the tavern: "It must be Sauvignon Blanc."

The shopkeeper's Xun Sheng looked over, and the person who guessed the question also looked over.

I saw that the person who answered the question was dressed in white, with a long sword pinned to his waist. He had a handsome face. It was Zhang Ming.

"Congratulations, young master, it is Sauvignon Blanc." The shopkeeper congratulated.

"Sauvignon Blanc, it turned out to be Sauvignon Blanc!"

"Why didn't I think of that!"

"It's a pity."

Everyone sighed secretly, they missed the opportunity for nothing, and some people guessed that it was Acacia, but they were wrong, who would have thought that it was Sauvignon Blanc, there is no such word as Sauvignon Blanc in this world.

Zhang Ming stepped forward, looked at the fat shopkeeper and asked, "If you guess correctly, you can take away an altar, right?"

"Exactly." The shopkeeper said with a smile, but in fact he felt a little pity, and lost another jar of wine.

Zhang Ming glanced at the three wine jars on the table, one question was correct for the other, and he took down the first jar.

"Does this wine have a name?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Young master just answered, it is the name of this wine." The shopkeeper laughed.

"Sauvignon Blanc?" Zhang Ming nodded and said, "But I don't know if this wine can match the name."

"My lord, you might as well try it."

"Then try."

Zhang Ming stepped forward and walked to the table.

Those who failed to answer this question all looked at Zhang Ming, wanting to see how the wine was.

The tavern fell silent again.

Zhang Ming reached out and peeled off the red paper seal on the wine jar.

"Pfft." With a sound, the red paper was removed, and a strong aroma of wine wafted from the wine jar.

"This, this wine fragrance..."

“Absolutely good wine!!”

Everyone was intoxicated by the aroma of the wine, and they all swallowed, wanting to take a sip.

Zhang Ming's eyes lit up, and seeing a porcelain bowl beside him, he took out a bowl of wine. The wine was slightly spicy, but the taste was excellent.

The wine in this world can reach this level, it can already be called a peerless wine.

[The host tasted [Sauvignon Blanc (inferior inferior product)], tasting progress: 35%]

Zhang Ming put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "This wine is indeed worthy of Sauvignon Blanc."

At first, he thought it was the shopkeeper of the tavern who was talking big, but now it seems that it is not.

"Shouldn't this name be worthy of this wine?" said the shopkeeper.

Zhang Ming shook his head, and said, "It's still close."

"Oh?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up.He only thinks that this Sauvignon Blanc is the best in the world, if this person is not talking big, he must have drunk better wine.

Zhang Mingyou scooped up a bowl of wine from the wine jar, raised his head and drank it.
