Xu Yan and the other two got off the carriage in the downtown area of ​​the central area of ​​the capital, which surprised Xu Yan and the other two, because it was obviously not a famous place and there was no natural scenery at all. However, it can be seen that compared with the food street and most places in the capital, the architectural style in this area is obviously more nostalgic and ancient.

It can even be said that in this area, there is no brand new building, which is completely inherited from ancient styles.

After Xu Yan got out of the car, he looked at Chen Qinghe and asked, "Why did Senior Brother bring us here?"

Chen Qinghe glanced at the street scene and could be said that this place is most appropriate to what he remembers, because there is no change at all.

He took a deep breath in the air. He clearly had nothing, but he seemed to smell something delicious, and breathed a sigh of relief with intoxication. Finally, he said mysteriously: "My junior brother, you will know later. Okay, let's go quickly. We have been in the carriage for the whole morning. Now it's time to eat, so we have to fill our stomachs first."

Xu Yan and the other two looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, not understanding what Chen Qinghe was doing.

However, what they didn't know was that just after they walked along the street, four more people walked into this area not far from them, which were the four people from Ziyun Sect.

Du Shaoyang looked at the very old building complex in front of him, and his first reaction was to frown. He didn't expect that there was such a dilapidated place in Yong'an City, so he wanted to say a few words of contempt, but unexpectedly, He Huanzhu, who was beside him, jumped and said: "Wow, this place is so beautiful. Even the streets are full of ancient flavors, and it feels older than the place where our sea tribe grows."

When Du Shaoyang heard He Huanzhu say this, he suddenly stopped sarcastically. While no one noticed, he quickly turned into another face and said with a hint of smile: "I really didn't expect that there is such an ancient building in the capital, which is really eye-opening. The decision of the junior sister is indeed wise, but we should hurry up to catch up with the disciples of the Lotus Sect. By the way, junior sister, are you hungry? Why don't we go to a restaurant for lunch first?"

He Bizhu and another disciple of Ziyun Sect who were following him were not surprised to see the elder brother please He Huanzhu so much and did not say much.

He Huanzhu rubbed her stomach and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm really a little hungry, so let's go quickly."

...

When you enter the main entrance of the street in this area, the whole scene changes. Not only are there people bustling with pedestrians, but there are countless shops opening on both sides of the street, most of which sell food. Of course, this place is different from the food street I went to yesterday, because the food here does not sell local dishes, sea food, big fish and meat, but very ancient and traditional Zhongzhou local delicacies, all of which are some exquisite and complicated snacks, pastries, and various wines with different flavors.

Chen Qinghe and Xu Yan and the other two walked around the streets in the crowd, and finally arrived at a small, remote restaurant named Jiulu. Chen Qinghe walked in the front of the store. When he arrived at the door of the store, he suddenly pretended to be a waiter, stretched out a hand, bowed slightly to Xu Yan and the other two and invited him, "Little junior brother, junior sister Bai, junior sister Gu, I want to bring you where I come, please come in quickly."

Xu Yan and the other two who were following him suddenly felt so artificial when they saw him, and Xu Yan was even more amused and said, "Senior Brother, where are you acting in this scene."

, I don’t have to worry about laughing at you when the people in this store see you.”

After hearing this, Chen Qinghe laughed and said, "It's okay, I dare say that if the shopkeeper of this wine house knew that I was here, he would not only not laugh at me, but also prepare fine wine and meat for us for free. Let's go, as your senior brother, it's time to take you to a king meal."

After entering the "Jiulu", the bright light suddenly darkened. Even at noon, the sky was shining with sunshine. The atmosphere in the wine shop was dark. The reason is that this oldest building built in the capital has very few windows.

The shopkeeper of Jiulu is an older man with simple clothes on his body. You can see that his hair is already mixed with gray hair.

When the man saw Xu Yan and the other two, he habitually wanted to make a welcome move, but after seeing Chen Qinghe's face clearly, the old shopkeeper immediately showed a hint of surprise and said, "Are you... Qinghe's nephew?"

When Chen Qinghe saw that the other party knew him, he immediately replied with a smile: "It's me, is my health still in good health recently?"

The shopkeeper of Jiulu is named Xue He, who is a family friend of Chen Junzhong, the father of Chen Qinghe. The two have known each other for decades. Nine years ago, the two brothers of Chen joined the Lotus Sect to practice. Xue He was present at that farewell party, so it was not too difficult for him to recognize Chen Qinghe.

Compared with Chen Qinghe nine years ago, he has not changed much in his appearance now, but he looks more sophisticated and mature.

Xue He walked out of the counter and came to Chen Qinghe. He looked at the nephew who had not been practicing, but was going to become his son-in-law. Then he patted his broad shoulders and exclaimed sincerely: "Okay, okay, compared to when I was a child, I am mature and steady now. It's a pity that you and Lian'er... are still destined to be destined after all."

Chen Qinghe was already sixteen years old when he went up the mountain. Of course, he knew that the other party wanted to marry his daughter to him as a wife, but unfortunately, the other party could not let his daughter go, and after knowing that he was about to practice, he still let the latter waste his time in vain and wait for him in the boudoir.

Chen Qinghe knew that the other party had no intention of blaming him, otherwise Xue He would not have attended the farewell party when he left home. However, he still calmed his tone as much as possible and said: "Miss Lian'er is gentle and virtuous. I don't have the blessing to marry her and also disappoint her master's expectations."

When Xue He heard him blame himself, he realized that it was not what he said, so he immediately smiled and said, "Hey, Uncle Xue is also a mess. Why are you talking nonsense about what happened here? By the way, the nephew hasn't introduced me to these people yet..."

Chen Qinghe smiled and replied, "Oh, these three are all nephew's junior brothers. After finally coming to the capital, Qinghe specially brought them to his master to try your own secret red date wine, and Qinghe also happened to come here to see you."

While speaking, Chen Qinghe had already taken out the gifts prepared early when he was at home from his storage bag, and placed them on the counter.

After seeing this, Xue He was full of a loving smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad about it. At the same time, he couldn't help but think, "How great would it be if this child had not gone to the mountain to practice, but became my son-in-law?"

"It's a pity that there is no if in the world. What has passed is the past; what has been missed will never have any possibility of intersection."

Xue He asked the waiter to carefully collect the gifts Chen Qinghe brought. He took Xu Yan and the other two to the backyard of the restaurant, a small yard that belonged to him. While instructing the chefs in the kitchen to prepare lunch, he went to the cellar to get a jar of homemade red date wine.

When the wine jar was on the table, Xue He lifted the top flower on the wine jar with his own hands, and Xu Yan and the other two immediately smelled an extremely rich and mellow aroma of wine.

Xue Heyu Guang was quite content with his heart when he saw the changes on their faces.

Not many people in this capital can brew this red date wine. Even if it is sold by other wine shops, they will drink it from him and go back to tinker with the imitations made. If those imitation red date wines want to compare the authenticity, taste and mellowness with the wine in his hands, it can only be a humiliation.

Xue He poured half a bowl of wine for Xu Yan and the others and himself. The color of the wine looked very dark, even several levels deeper than the Danqu rice wine from the Gu sisters, and it was very close to black, but this did not affect Xu Yan and the other two's desire to drink it.

Xue He didn't let him pick up the red date wine on the table, and said to Chen Qinghe with a smile: "This jar of red date wine was brewed by Uncle Xue and drank it himself. It was a bit different from what was sold outside. Come on, everyone should drink it first and taste the taste. It will probably take a while before the meal will be served."

After hearing this, Xu Yan and the other two picked up the porcelain bowls in their hands and took a sip of jujube wine.

Chen Qinghe exclaimed and said, "It's really a taste of nostalgia. My father once told Qinghe that Uncle Xue's ability to brew wine should be the best in the world, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

When Xu Yan heard this, he didn't like the red date wine too much, and he couldn't help but feel that Chen Qinghe was suspected of flattering. In his opinion, although this wine tasted good, it was not as delicious as the pure Huadiao in Jinxi Town and the Danqu rice wine in Yumen Town. In such an exaggerated way, it was naturally because the latter deliberately tried to please.

But the truth is that Xue He's red date wine may not be as famous as Huadiao, and is known to everyone in the world, but in terms of the craftsmanship and techniques of brewing, it is definitely a master-level one.

At this moment, without waiting for Xue He to say a few words, outside the courtyard, a waiter from the shop hurried to the courtyard, and then said something in his ear, which made his face suddenly tighten.

He turned to the waiter and said, "What did you say, now?"

The waiter replied with a wry smile: "That's right, and they asked for a name to drink the shopkeeper's hand-made date wine, wanting to see if it's as rumored by the outside world, the date wine here is the most authentic. If it's just a false name, they'll... "

The waiter didn't finish his next words, but it was obviously not a good thing.

Seeing this sudden scene, Chen Qinghe couldn't help but frown and asked, "Master, what are the difficulties in the store?"

After hearing this, Xue He smiled boldly and said, "No, it's just that a group of children from aristocratic families came and threatened to taste my red date wine. I guess he heard some rumors outside again. These rich and powerful children have always believed that they are very good and are all elegant people. I will just meet them by myself, but Uncle Xue cannot accompany you for the time being. Please drink it yourself first. Later, Uncle Xue will come to drink with you again."
