Chunmu River is a well-known river in Jizhou. It has the longest winding section in Chunhui Prefecture. It also passes through Neiduofu in Liuzhou. into the sea.

The section of the river from Jiudaokou of Deshengfu to Chunhuifu is relatively straight, especially in this season, the southeast wind is relatively smooth, and the time from Deshengfu to Chunhuifu is very short.

Except for someone falling into the water on the first night, a wise big herring rescued people and begged for wine, the next two days of sailing did not have any twists and turns, enjoying or listening to the sounds of small mountains and forests along the way, the wind went smoothly in the early morning of the fourth day I saw the big pier outside the city of Chunhuifu.

The closer it is to the big wharf of Chunhuifu, the more ships there are around, ranging from single-person boats to large boats, from passenger ships and cargo ships to fishermen's fishing boats. The busyness of the wharf in Jiudaokou County cannot be compared.

All the passengers stood outside the cabin and looked out. Only behind the pier could they see the towering city walls of Chunhui Mansion City and the buildings inside that were a section higher than the city walls.

As we approached Chunhui Fucheng, the wind became weaker instead. The young boatman had already started to row his oars, and the passengers turned their gazes from looking at Fucheng to the surroundings.

The noise on the pier became more and more obvious, loading and unloading, loading and unloading passengers, the boat that Ji Yuan was on found a berth on the edge, and slowly docked.

At this time, everyone who traveled together for three days knew that they were going to part. The fare had been settled on the day of sailing, so they could disembark at any time.

Guest officers, the Jiangshen Temple is located on the south side of the East City. You can see it when you get out of the pier and go straight south without entering the city. It can be regarded as a scene in Chunhuifu City. If you have time, you can go to worship the River God. master!

The old boatman fastened the cables, smiled and suggested to the people who were about to disembark that the boat went smoothly, mainly for the passengers on board, and felt comfortable!

Okay, let's go and have a look!

That's right, I will definitely go to worship and burn a stick of incense!

Farewell, boatman!

There will be a period later!

...

Like others, Ji Yuan bowed to the boatman at the pier. The two fathers and sons of the boatman didn’t need to go to the city, so they bought some things on the spot at the pier, and when they cleaned the boat, they put up the sign of Jiudaokou, Deshengfu, and picked up some drop-in passengers. go home.

The six people on the boat walked out of the pier together, and one of the scholars immediately asked Ji Yuan.

Mr. Ji, my classmates and I are going to visit Chunhuifu City, and then visit the Jiangshen Temple. If you don't have arrangements, sir, why don't you come with us?

Yes, Mr. Ji!

Ji Yuan looked at these people, and also bowed his hands.

Thank you for your kindness. Ji still has something to do. We are all in the same boat. We will meet again someday. Ji will say goodbye here!

Several people said goodbye to each other, and they all headed towards their destinations, but Ji Yuan took a step first, and his pace became faster and faster, and he disappeared after a while.

'Today is May 12th, I wonder if Wei Wuwei has arrived at Chunhui Mansion and is ready? '

With this kind of thinking in mind, the first thing to look for is which famous wine in the city, to see how delicious it is, which can attract the old turtle to come out.

After all, Ji Yuan has never seen anything big in this world, and the one he drinks most is the Huadiao jar wine from Ning'an County, but that wine can be found everywhere, so it's not a rare thing.

Anyway, if he was waiting near the South City Gate before May 15th, he should always be able to spot Wei Wuwei. After all, Ji Yuan's hearing ability could be recognized by people familiar with him even from a distance.

As for when Wei Wuwei tried to meet the old turtle, Ji Yuan didn't intend to show up because he wanted to see something new. After all, the only ones who knew about it were probably the masters of the public family that night except the Wei family.

But even if Ji Yuan wants to show up, it's all right, anyway, in Wei Wuwei's eyes, he is also an expert, and an expert knows that this matter will not appear abrupt.

...

The prosperity of Chunhui Mansion surpasses that of Ning'an County and Jiudaokou. With poor eyesight and excellent hearing and sense of smell, Ji Yuan's wandering in the city is still like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

After inquiring for a long time, Ji Yuan finally found this restaurant called Yuanzipu. The faint fragrance of wine seems to prove that this restaurant is indeed well-deserved.

The restaurant is not very big, and there is no second floor. There are only a few tables inside. There don’t seem to be many people buying and drinking wine. There are only two tables in the corner where people are eating and drinking. The dishes in the restaurant are more like bringing their own, because they are wrapped in lotus leaves.

On the contrary, there were quite a few people in the shop who looked like clerks, but they were all resting on a few empty tables, while the shopkeeper kept flipping the abacus behind the counter, crackling counting against the ledger.

Shopkeeper, I heard that your Qianrichun is an unrivaled famous wine in Chunhui Mansion. How much does it cost for a pot?

Ji Yuan entered the store and asked the shopkeeper, who looked up at him after finishing counting.

This store only sells two types of wine. Qian Richun is two taels of silver a catty, and the whole jar can be discounted a little.

Two taels?

Ji Yuan was surprised, the price is not a little bit expensive, two taels are enough to eat as many meals, it seems that not only in the previous life, there was expensive wine, but in this life there should be no shortage!

Guest officer, do you want Jianghuajiu?

The shopkeeper continued to calculate the accounts, his voice didn't fluctuate much, which made Ji Yuan a little embarrassed.

Uh, shopkeeper, since Qian Richun can be disassembled and sold loosely, can you buy a cup and taste it?

A cup?

This kind of request is really rare, mainly because no one has the face to ask it in Yuanzipu, the shopkeeper couldn't help but raise his head to take a closer look at Ji Yuan.

Wide-sleeved gray robe, a mahogany hairpin on his head, carrying a bundle and carrying an umbrella, dressed in a simple and neat manner, with a loose but surprisingly natural hairstyle, not like a rich man but also not like someone here to make trouble, looking at the half-opened When he opened his eyes, the shopkeeper was obviously slightly taken aback.

The guest officer just came to Chunhui Mansion?

I'm here for the first time today. I heard Qian Richun's name, so I wanted to try it.

Come on...

The shopkeeper nodded, and while beckoning to Ji Yuan, he picked up a jar from a few small jars on the shelf behind him, and pulled off the sealing plug.

He took out a small porcelain cup and put it on the counter, and then used a delicate small spoon to lift a small half of it. The amber wine dripped just enough to fill the small porcelain cup. Wire, the shopkeeper only disconnected after a bump.

Guest officer, please use it. Please taste the taste of this thousand days of spring and then evaluate it. It will be the wine money!

Ji Yuan sniffed the aroma of the wine and approached the counter without saying a word. He reached out and grabbed the porcelain cup and brought it to his mouth to taste it. Unexpectedly, he didn't taste the bitterness and astringency that he needed to get used to first. It is slightly higher than the Huadiao I have drunk before.

After drinking the small amount of wine in one gulp, the slightly bitter taste and wine taste irritate the nose, and then turn into a thick and sweet taste, and the aftertaste of sweetness in the mouth after swallowing will last for a long time.

In his previous life, Ji Yuan didn't like to drink alcohol and thought that any wine was bad, but he didn't expect to be able to taste it in this life.

Good wine, worthy of the name of Qianrichun!

Ji Yuan didn't say any explicit compliments, and directly took out two standard silver ingots of one or two yuan from his pocket and put them on the counter.

One sip of this wine is really not enough, even if you eat a few meals, you have to buy a catty.

The shopkeeper's smile is all over the face, which is already the best compliment.

Guest officer wait a moment!

After taking the silver and weighing it, the shopkeeper took a small wine bottle from the shelf behind him and handed it to Ji Yuan.

One catty of Qianrichun.

Ji Yuan took the wine and looked at the situation in the store, thinking that most of the wine will be supplied to major restaurants and inns, and there must be merchants shipping goods everywhere, Yuanzipu should be a place with a bright sign.

Hey, shopkeeper, your wine is so expensive that even gods can't afford it! Let's go...

Ji Yuan smiled and sighed, with some self-encouragement and longing, comparing himself to a god, carrying the wine bottle and walking out of the shop door, this sentence naturally became a joke in the ears of outsiders.

The shopkeeper shook his head with a smile, because Ji Yuan seemed to be in a good mood because he tasted wine just now and gritted his teeth to buy wine.

Just as she was about to arrange the small porcelain cups, her outstretched right hand stopped.

Qianrichun is well-known. Apart from its good taste, another characteristic is that the wine is thick and sticky. Even if you use the smoothest ceramic cup, some wine will definitely stick to it. It belongs to the kind that needs to be licked several times to clean it.

But the porcelain cup in front of him was white and clean without a trace of wine remaining inside, and the shopkeeper stretched out his finger to wipe the cup, and his expression was even more stunned.

'What did you do? '

Maybe a clever quack?

But thinking back to that person's gentle drinking action just now, and thinking of his words before leaving, the shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Immediately raised his head to look around, and only said guest officer, but he couldn't see where Ji Yuan was.
