Chapter 47 East Exit
In the chilly spring, Old Man Wu was wearing a cotton coat and sitting on a gray wooden chair panting for breath. The Jiuwangzi flag on the road, which was raised high with the cold wind, danced twice like a loach and fell down weakly.

"There should be a lot of business done today."

The country of Yue is located in the south, the climate is hot and humid, and there is not often snow in winter. Last year's heavy snow was even rarer. The heavy snow made it impossible for cars and horses to travel on the entire Guli Road. Old man Wu only received three groups of guests in a whole winter, and now spring is coming The snow is melting, and it is [-]% cold, which is a good time to drink.

The old man Wu leaned on the wooden chair lazily, the broken chair under him creaked and creaked, squinted his eyes, and saw a wave of yellow dust rising from the small road in the distance through the window.

He got up quickly, walked to the door with a limp, and raised his voice:

"Meat—wine—, sheep—meat—"

Seeing the chariots and horses approaching slowly and stopping, Old Man Wu hastily said:

"Master in front, the shop has some meat and wine, and the hot and sour dishes are also refreshing..."

But when the curtain of the car was lifted, two men in fur came down.

The leading man looked less than seventeen, with a heroic appearance, holding a long knife in his hand, with a childish face, looking at the wine shop with a smile on his face.

The man behind him looked about 25 and six, with a sword hanging around his waist. His appearance was fairly handsome, his eyes were piercing, and he was looking at old man Wu vigilantly.

"It seems that the elders came out to take care of the younger generation. This young man seems to have some experience in the world, and he is very vigilant. Looking at this sword, it should be the son of two rich families. He has made a lot of money today!"

The old man Wu was concerned at the moment, he smiled obsequiously, and said:

"The two of you, please, our specialty snowflake meat wine is the delicacy of this dish."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said loudly:

"A guest—"

The two of them sat down at the table, and two men ran down upstairs, bowed their waists and smiled flatteringly, and stood behind the old man Wu.

"Have a jug of snow wine and serve some dishes."

Wan Kai put down the long knife in his hand, and saw that the old man ordered someone to go down to do it, and explained cheerfully to Li Tongya:
"This snowflake wine is made of thin slices of sheep's meat, boiled with excellent wine, finely chopped and ground into a paste; then the sheep tube marrow and kidney fat are melted in the pot, and the meat paste is mixed in. Soak it in warm wine when you use it."

Wan Kai swallowed, and said in a low voice:

"My brother from the same clan came here five years ago, ordered this pot of snowflake wine, and was immediately shocked. I have never forgotten it until now. There are only a few ways to eat it back and forth at home, and it has long since faded away!"

Li Tongya staggered on the road for several days, ate dry food and drank cold water every day, his index finger twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.

The two chatted for a while, and there was a commotion outside the door, and a few men in cotton clothes walked in, sat down in a hurry, and said loudly:

"Old man Wu, serve the wine!"

"Hey, masters are here."

Old man Wu hurriedly greeted them with a smile, flattering each of them.

"It's really cold in this cold spring. Brothers and I have been guarding the east entrance all night, and the birds are almost freezing! When the shift is changed, the master's house releases people, so hurry up and have a drink."

The brawny man at the head laughed loudly, then continued:

"I don't know what happened in the past few days. The road is strictly controlled. Several aristocratic families in the county have sent people to the road. No bird dares to utter a sound!"

"Dahu, you don't understand this. You come here every few years, just get used to it! Several aristocratic families in the county hold on tightly, and it will pass in a few days."

A voice came from that table and spoke slowly.

Wan Kai listened for a while, then smiled and said in a low voice:
"This place is close to Guanyun Peak. I guess these people are servants of the Xiao family."

Li Tongya nodded, Xiao Yuansi's image suddenly appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help feeling a little more fond of these guys.

The waiter brought up a pot of hot wine, some side dishes and a bowl of snow-white mutton paste.

Wan Kai hurriedly picked up a small spoon, dug lightly on the ointment, put it in the bowl, picked up the flagon and poured it into the bowl, and immediately after soaking in the drink, there was a tempting aroma of mutton.

The leader Duhu sniffled, his eyes lit up, and he praised:

"It smells so good, it's snow wine!"

Wan Kai didn't take up the man's words, clicked his tongue beautifully, and signaled Li Tongya to give it a try.

Li Tongya smiled helplessly, smiled politely at the man, brewed the snowflake wine, and took a sip after soaking.

The mellow aroma of the wine and the deliciousness of the mutton mixed with the faint taste of milk rushed to the tip of the tongue. Li Tongya unknowingly drank the wine in the bowl and said with a light smile:
"It really tastes delicious."

Seeing that Li Tongya and the other two ignored him, the strong man pursed his lips in embarrassment, and said in a low voice:

"There are a few stinky money..."

Looking enviously at the next table, Du Hu swallowed his saliva and turned his head to chat with his brother.

Wan Kai had only taken a few sips, when he saw another commotion outside the door, a group of people came from a distance, surrounded by a young man in fine fur, and entered the wine shop.

"Clan brother! Don't look at this dilapidated wine shop. This snowflake wine is a must in the road. The barren mountains and wild mountains in the east are deserted, and this wine shop can be used for entertainment."

A gorgeously dressed man was bowing and obsequiously gesticulating in front of the young man in Chinese clothes. The man looked 35 or [-], but bowed his body and called the young man in Chinese clothes his clan brother, which looked rather funny.

"Ah."

The young man in Chinese clothes had slender eyes, he was wearing a snow-white fox fur, and a golden brocade bag was tied around his waist. He responded lightly.

"It's broken, why is the steward of the master's house here!"

The face of the strong man named Duhu suddenly changed, he turned his head away and pretended not to know him, and the whole table of strong men also bowed their heads, trembling and not daring to say a word.

"That young man in Chinese clothes is mostly a direct descendant of the great clan. The steward usually looks aloof, but when he sees this man, he looks like a dog."

Duo quietly glanced at the group of people, and managed to recognize two of them, both of whom were big figures in the Xiao family's soldiers stationed at Dongkou. At this moment, they stood respectfully behind the housekeeper, not daring to say a word.

The young man in Chinese clothes frowned slightly when he saw the environment in the store, but the middle-aged manager was so frightened that he hung his head and dared not say a word.

The middle-aged steward thought about the words in his mind for a long time, but he heard the young man in front of him laugh as if in a dream, and he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split.

"This brother of the clan has a spiritual aperture and has entered the immortal way. He has always been arrogant and domineering. He has been guarding Dongkou for more than ten days and has never seen him smile. I'm afraid he smiled instead of being very angry!"

The young man in Chinese clothes arched his hands politely, with a kind smile on his face, and said softly:

"I didn't expect to see two fellow Taoists in this remote shop!"
