Chapter 200 (1/2)
Chen Fu said: ”decades ago, it was just a wilderness, and the valley was also desolate. Except for this bamboo forest, there is nothing around. But one year, a poor man suddenly fled in and settled here. He loves red leaf trees very much and grows them here all day. Besides planting trees, he also likes drinking. At the beginning, he often went to the city to buy good wine and hoard it in the bamboo forest. When there was more wine to drink, he felt that the wine in Guiyang was insipid. ” There is also a kind of wine in the world called monkey wine. It is the wild fruit collected by the monkey, hidden in the tree hole, and finally rotted and fermented into fruit wine. Just because this wine was brewed by monkeys, it was called monkey wine by the world. He spent all day in the mountain with the monkeys, and gradually discovered the secret of the monkeys. He went to steal wine many times. He didn't want to be found by the monkeys several times and scratched to pieces. So he followed the example of monkeys, gathered wild fruits, supplemented by grains and cereals, and brewed a kind of wine“ Wuji heard this and said, ”I've also drunk monkey wine. It's really mellow“ Tang Qi said in amazement, ”do you steal monkey's wine, too“
Traceless smiled and said, ”I don't have to steal. I'm brothers with monkeys“
Chen Fu said, ”yes, monkey wine can't be found. You can't drink it without a certain chance“ Mo Ge said, ”this man also loves wine. He doesn't hesitate to work hard to make it himself. Surely the wine he brews is' forget beauty '“ Chen Fu said, ”at the beginning, it was not called” forget beauty ”. Monkeys often came to steal the wine he brewed. Later, he thought of a way to drill holes in raw bamboo, pour wine into bamboo joints, and then seal it with cork. In this way, the monkeys can't steal. But he was confused all day. He sealed too much wine. He didn't remember which bamboo the wine was in“ Tang Qiqing said, ”isn't that a waste“ Chen Fu shook his head and said, ”what happened in the world is such a coincidence. This man has a friend who comes here to drink with him every once in a while, but this time, he has no wine. I only said that the wine was in the bamboo pole, but I don't remember how to find it. His friend said he was petty and hid the wine. After his friend left, he was furious and frantically cut off the bamboo pole. Finally, he found the old wine he didn't know he had hidden for many years in a bamboo pole. Originally full of bamboo, now only half of the liquor is poured out. It looks like honey and is sticky and difficult to break. The smell goes straight to the heart and spleen“ Hearing this, Wu Ji and Tang Qi unconsciously stretched out their tongue and licked their lips, ”Gudong” swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Then Chen Fuyou slowly told the following story.
The man took out a piece of wine and drank it unhappily. He only felt that the wine he drank in his life was not as mellow as this wine. In addition to the aroma of wine and fruit, the wine has a faint fragrance of bamboo.
Unexpectedly, he only drank one cup, then fell drunk to the ground and woke up. It was the next morning.
When he was overjoyed, he took the wine into the city of Guiyang, found his friend and let his friend taste the wine he brought. His friend took a sip of the wine and was full of praise. He asked him how he got the wine?
He brought his friend here, pointed to the cut down bamboo forest and told the origin of the wine. His friend was surprised and said, ”this wine is so delicious. Although I dare not say it is the first in the world, I can't find it in Guiyang“ His friend said that such a good wine should have a good name. He said without thinking, ”forget the beauty“ Hearing this, Wuji, Mo Ge and Tang Qi knew that ”forgetting beauty” came from this. Tang Qi stared at the bamboo bent by the snow, and his eyes lit up.
Mo Ge said, ”but why did he call this wine 'forgetting beauty'“ Chen Fu said, ”this man originally had a confidant, which was very unforgettable. But in the end, he abandoned her and married another woman. Later, after many things, he knew that he couldn't forget the beauty in his heart. The reason why he hid here and planted trees crazily was because he felt guilty. Drunk all day, but also because the heart can not forget. And this' forgetting his beauty 'made him drunk with a cup of wine, and made him forget the past of the world of mortals and the beauty in his heart. Therefore, as soon as his friend asked him, he said' forgetting his beauty '. ” Since then, he has invited several guys to build a winery here. This nameless Valley is called Red Leaf Valley because of the red leaf forest he planted. This winery is also called red leaf winery. ” It's very rare to forget Hongyan. You have to pour the wine into the new bamboo and take it out five years later to get half a pot. Moreover, this wine requires high quality. The wine of Hongye distillery is never exported. He and his friends drink it. However, in order to maintain the normal operation of Hongye distillery, a jar will be auctioned at Baiying building every five years for all expenses of the distillery“ After hearing this, Wuji said softly with a smile: ”so, does this' forget beauty 'really come from Hongye distillery“ Chen Fu nodded gently and said, ”yes, but I still want to disappoint you“ Wuji was stunned at the speech and asked, ”why? Shopkeeper Chen is worried that we can't afford the wine from your Hongye distillery? ” No, the red leaf winery never takes a cent of the wine except forgetting the beauty. If you want to drink, the red leaf winery will take care of it. However, the three of you came here to ”forget the beauty”. This kind of wine, produced in a year, is not enough for dongweng and his friends to drink. It is unique. It is still auctioned in Baiying building. Unless you go to the auction and buy it at a high price, you will have to go back with regret“ Traceless said, ”the man who invented 'forget beauty' is your host! I wonder if I can introduce you? ”
Chen Fu shook his head gently and said, ”my host has a strange temperament. If he is happy, cats and dogs can become his friends. If he is not happy, the princes and nobles are in front of him, he is not as good as the peddlers and pawns.”
Traceless said, ”OK! Your host seems to be a man of temperament, which suits my appetite! I can't wait to get to know you. ”
Chen Fu said, ”I'm afraid you already know each other.”
Without a trace, he said, ”we have known each other for a long time?”
Chen Fu ”ha ha” smiled, as if to cover up his gaffe, waved his hand and said, ”the old man just guessed indiscriminately. You don't have to care.”
