Chapter 145: This year's wine will be changed in the next year
The waiter will lead them to sit down at the table.
But suddenly I heard the gentleman in green shirt say: "Don't bother me anymore, Chen wants to see your shopkeeper."
The waiter paused for a moment and asked, "I wonder what business Sir has with our shopkeeper?"
Chen Changsheng picked up the wine in his hand and said, "Chen has two jars of good wine and would like to exchange some wine with your shopkeeper."
The waiter took a look at the two jars of wine held in Chen Changsheng's hand. Just by looking at the seals on the wine jars, he knew that the two jars of wine were quite old.
"Sir, please sit down and wait for a while. I will go find my shopkeeper right now."
The waiter hurriedly went to the back of the restaurant.
Chen Changsheng placed the two jars of wine on the table and then sat down.
He looked at the restaurant. It was still as busy and lively as before. Although it had changed a little, it had not changed at all. Everyone in the restaurant was a stranger.
After a while, the manager of the restaurant hurried over from the back hall.
It was as expected by Chen Changsheng.
The person who came was not Xiaoliu.
The shopkeeper is a bit thin, with sunken cheeks and a mustache at the corners of his mouth. He is wearing a money jacket. Although he is thin, he looks rich.
Guests in the restaurant often call him Shopkeeper Fei. He is not a bad person, but he is a bit stingy. He is not willing to give him more than a shake of wine. He just gets as much as he wants.
Shopkeeper Fei cupped his hands and came forward and said with a smile: "I'm a step late. Please forgive me, sir."
Chen Changsheng felt a little sad in his heart. After he came to his senses, he answered with a smile: "It's okay."
Shopkeeper Fei sat down and immediately said, "I heard from the waiter that sir, you want to exchange wine for wine?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Not bad."
As he spoke, he pushed the two jars of wine forward on the table.
"Are they just these two altars?"
Shopkeeper Fei took a look and saw that one of the jars had been opened with lacquer seal, and said, "I wonder if I can have a taste?"
"Just try the shopkeeper's." Chen Changsheng said calmly.
After Shopkeeper Fei got the answer, he asked the waiter to bring an empty cup.
Pour a little bit, but don't dare to pour more, it's just a sip.
He first smelled the aroma of the wine, and then his eyes lit up.
The aroma of this wine is so mellow, I’m afraid this wine is not bad at all!
Shopkeeper Fei tasted the wine in the glass. He was stunned at first, but then suddenly slapped the table.
"good!!"
Shopkeeper Fei opened his eyes and said twice: "Good wine, good wine..."
He didn't even know how to describe this taste of wine.
He calmed down and then became a little embarrassed.
"I wonder...what kind of wine would you like to change, sir?"
Shopkeeper Fei was a little confused: "To be honest, it's harder to get the wine I have than the two jars on the table!"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said: "You don't need any good wine, just Qiuyue Brewing. Just give Chen as much as you think you can exchange for."
Shopkeeper Fei paused after hearing this and said, "This..."
"What's wrong?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Shopkeeper Fei felt a little puzzled: "It's not enough. The guest doesn't know. This autumn moon brew was brewed at the beginning of the year. It's almost sold out before summer begins. Now there's nothing left in the warehouse."
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said in a daze: "Is it gone..."
Tong Zhihuan thought of this and said, "Sir, this is indeed the case. I thought your husband was coming back a few days ago. I originally wanted to buy him a bottle of wine, but it turned out that there was no Qiuyue Brewing left."
Shopkeeper Fei smacked his lips. The taste of the wine just now was still there. Speaking of it, he really couldn't compare it to this wine, but if he just let it go, he felt a little reluctant to let it go.
Shopkeeper Fei said, "Sir, do you think you might as well change to a different wine?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said nothing.
Shopkeeper Fei felt a little depressed. He looked at the measuring jars of wine on the table and felt very greedy.
"Can we discuss it further?" Shopkeeper Fei asked.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Is Qiuyue Brewing really sold out?"
Shopkeeper Fei closed his eyes and nodded.
At this time, the waiter on the side said: "Shopkeeper, I don't think there is another jar in the library?"
Shopkeeper Fei glanced at him and shook his head.
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment and asked: "If you have it, why don't you sell it?"
Shopkeeper Fei smiled helplessly and said: "To be honest, Fei is really reluctant to part with the wine brought by the guest, but he really can't afford to exchange it, not to mention that the jar of Qiuyue Brewing is not enough to replace it. Besides, that
A jar of wine is not for sale."
"Not selling?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Shopkeeper Fei nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "When Fei took over this restaurant, he charged it at a low price. The shopkeeper at that time only told me one thing, and he asked me to leave a jar of Qiuyue Brewing every year.
Sell it and wait for someone to pick it up. Although Fei is not a generous person, he has never forgotten what he promised, so this jar is never for sale."
Chen Changsheng paused slightly after hearing this, but he suddenly laughed.
When Shopkeeper Fei saw the gentleman in green shirt laughing, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Tong Zhihuan and Miss Taoer didn't quite understand either.
I always feel that there is something strange about Mr.
The smile on Chen Changsheng's face faded and turned calm. He looked at Shopkeeper Fei and asked, "Can Chen ask what the shopkeeper is doing?"
Shopkeeper Fei didn't think much about it and replied: "It seems that he went to the border. As for Beimo or Beixiang, Fei doesn't know."
"Did the government forcefully recruit them?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Shopkeeper Fei nodded and said, "Well, the world was not peaceful at that time. After he took care of the restaurant, he followed the army northward. I don't know if he is still alive today."
Chen Changsheng then asked: "Where was the waiter at the restaurant?"
"We also went together."
"Is this so..."
Shopkeeper Fei came to his senses. He paused and asked, "Does the guest know the previous shopkeeper?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "We know him."
"No wonder..."
Shopkeeper Fei said: "I asked you why the guest wanted to exchange wine for wine as soon as he came. It turned out that he was familiar with the shopkeeper. You said this..."
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen never thought that things would become different in a blink of an eye."
Shopkeeper Fei sighed softly and said, "Who says it's not the case? How many people could have escaped in that period of time? To put it bluntly, I also managed to survive by hiding here and there."
This human calamity will ultimately lead to suffering.
Chen Changsheng came to his senses in a daze.
He looked at the wine on the table and said: "Chen still wants to exchange for Qiuyue Niang, so he will exchange these two jars of wine for that jar."
Shopkeeper Fei paused after hearing this. He shook his head without thinking and said, "This..."
"I hope the guest officer will forgive me."
Although he did not continue speaking, the answer was still ready to come out.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't change it."
He pushed the two jars forward again.
Shopkeeper Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
"The wine is just what the shopkeeper keeps."
Chen Changsheng said: "This year's wine will be the same next year if I change it again."
Shopkeeper Fei looked at the wine in front of him in a daze. He couldn't help but said: "How can this be done? If..."
Chen Changsheng said: "I can trust the shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Fei glanced at the wine on the table and then at the man in Qingshan in front of him. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and finally agreed to the matter.
…
The shopkeeper and the waiter escorted the group out of the inn.
Shopkeeper Fei stood at the door, looking at the Mr. Qingshan who was walking away. He frowned slightly, always having an illusion in his heart.
He always felt that the jar of wine was reserved for this person.
But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that I was overthinking it.
Shopkeeper Fei smiled, looked at the back of the green shirt, and muttered something.
