Chapter 307 Shuiji Grocery Store (Second Change)
Xu Tong nodded thoughtfully, wrote down the boss's word for word, put away the drink and said, "Teach me!"

"Don't dare, guest officer, please do it yourself."

The shopkeeper arched his hands and continued to make his own calculations. After Xu Tong got the wine, he walked out the door and looked back at the wine shop. After confirming that the boss hadn't followed, his face changed. He leaned on the wall to uncover half of the mask and started vomiting stand up.

Can you not spit it out? After drinking this wine, it is like a Monkey King getting into his sister-in-law's belly, tossing back and forth, Xu Tong endured it all the time, and dared not spit it out until he came out.

Although the shopkeeper spoke convincingly, Xu Tong still didn't think this thing was delicious.

But since A-Mei reminded herself, she probably didn't deceive him to suffer on purpose. With this mentality, Xu Tong took out the note and searched around the ghost city in the direction indicated above. , and finally found the mysterious little shop she was talking about in a remote corner.

It's a very inconspicuous facade, and the signboard on it also gives people an old feeling of 80s.

【Shuiji Grocery Store】

Xu Tong gently opened the door curtain of the shop, took a look, and saw several large tables in the dark room, some were empty, and some three or five people were sitting together peeling peanuts and drinking small wine.

There were one or two people sitting sparsely on a few tables, and the room was unbelievably quiet. It didn't look like a grocery store at all, but more like an old tea club.

When they saw someone walking in, everyone in the room just looked up, and then continued to work on their own.

There was no one in this place, and there was not even a person on the counter. If it wasn't for the words Shuiji Grocery Store written on the note, Xu Tong would have wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.

Just find a place to sit, and after a while, another person came in from outside the door. This person was obviously a player with a mask on his face.

Xu Tong noticed the other party, and the other party obviously noticed him, and was obviously stunned, as if surprised that there were other players in this place.

The place of the exhibition is amazing. If you want to say how big it is, it is actually not that big. If you stand on the highest point, you can overlook the entire exhibition, which is equivalent to a small town.

But if you want to say that he is small, then you are completely wrong. There are many shops here, but it is not as depressed as the ghost market. If you enter any inconspicuous facade, you may not know how much space there is inside.

So far, few players dare to say that they have explored the entire ghost city clearly.

And this unremarkable place is rarely visited by people, and occasionally people come in for a stroll, but they don't know what to do, and they leave after a while.

So seeing other players there, the other party was also very surprised.

But accidents were accidents, after dealing with Xu Tong, he just nodded his head towards Xu Tong, strode straight to the most lively table, and then sat directly in the middle, chatting with each other.

After chatting for a while, the other party took out an old incense burner from the item book and put it on the table. Several people at the same table looked at each other and winked at each other. Stretching out his arms, he shook his hands and dropped his wide sleeves.

Why!This is called hand-to-hand comparison.

It belongs to the old customs, and the price is done through specific gestures in the sleeve. For example, if this thing costs forty, the index finger to the little finger is 4, and then pinch the thumb and index finger to make 0.

If you want fifty, just give a thumbs up and pinch 0.

Anyway, the two sides are slowly groping and making gestures, and outsiders don't know what the price is.

In reality, this kind of old custom is no longer seen. If there is any, yes, it can be seen occasionally in the livestock markets in Shaanxi and Shanxi. Of course, people don’t have such big cuffs now, they are covered with cloth. .

After the two fumbled for a while, seeing the expression of the man in the hat, he seemed a little dissatisfied. In the end, the transaction did not appear to be successful.

The transaction was not successful, and the player did not leave, but sat there chatting with a few people.

"interesting."

Xu Tong sat aside and watched, and when he saw this, he probably understood what was going on here.

Although this place is a grocery store, it is not a place where you can buy and sell casually.

You need to get closer first, and only when you have a certain degree of relationship can you go further to trade. In short, it is a bit like touching fate.

It's no wonder that few people come to this place. Although the time on the exhibition is not equal to the time outside, there are only four hours outside here, but it is limited after all.

Not everyone wants to spend time in this place.

However, Xu Tong liked this place very much. Anyway, it was still early before the time agreed with Gao Zhuo. He took out the hookah pipe in his hand, and put the shredded tobacco on it in a leisurely manner. This shredded tobacco was Gao Zhuo’s father Gao Tian not long ago Put a new kind of cut tobacco that I found for him.

It is said that outsiders can't buy this kind of shredded tobacco, even if they have money, Xu Tong has never been able to taste it. Now that he has this leisure, he might as well taste it.

I saw the clear-cut tobacco leaves, which were faintly golden yellow under the light, and I could smell a unique fragrance of tobacco leaves when I pinched a pinch with my fingers and kneaded it gently.

It’s hard to know how to call this fragrance. It’s thick but not pungent. It has a fermented feeling eroded by the years. When pinched between fingers, it doesn’t feel dry and hard, but it feels soft like tender grass. .

Putting shredded tobacco on it, Xu Tong roasted it with a low fire. When the tobacco leaves were gradually carbonized under the toasting of the flame, a wisp of green smoke wafted up, and the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of the tobacco leaves.

Xu Tong sniffed lightly, his eyes lit up, but he didn't inhale directly, but put the waterpipe in his hand and waited for a while. This waterpipe is not like other cigarettes that can be smoked by opening the mouth, but needs a storage During the process, let the smoke stay in the chimney for a while, and then slowly taste it after feeling the temperature of the chimney gradually.

Xu Tong didn't understand it before, and he just wanted to have fun every time. When Gao Tianfang saw this, he laughed and scolded him for ruining things. The true meaning of water pipe smoking.

Later, under the guidance of his senior brother, he gradually grasped the mystery.

And the hookah in his hand also has many mysteries. After the chimney gradually warmed up, the patterns carved on it became more rounded in color, and even though it was dead, it gave people a fresh feeling.

As he slowly took a deep breath, the smoke lingered between his lips and teeth. The warm smoke volatilized a unique fragrance in his mouth. The taste was sublimated many times compared to cold smoke, and even more so than cigars. There is an extra layer of strong layering.

Xu Tong closed his eyes, feeling the unique fragrance and temperature in the smoky space. This feeling is like imbuing the invisible time with a unique taste, slowly savoring it in his mouth. wearing the same.

At this time, he suddenly felt the flow of smoke and clouds beside him, and opened one eyelid to see that an old man wearing a worn-out padded jacket was sitting beside him at some point.

The old man sat beside him, closed his eyes and meditated, taking a deep breath from time to time on the smoke cloud beside Xu Tong, and he seemed to enjoy it more than he did.

Seeing this, Xu Tong was overjoyed, and took out his shredded tobacco and handed it over: "Master, would you like a sip?"

The old man looked at the shredded tobacco, smashed it, mouth: he carefully picked up a shredded tobacco with his fingers, put it in his hand and watched it carefully for a while: "Good thing, this tobacco leaf is the finest lemon yellow, and one tobacco stalk can produce Five or six slices are considered to be the best."

As he spoke, he put the shredded tobacco in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it slowly: "Yes! Honey, sandalwood powder, bamboo leaf green, and soybeans."

After speaking, he sniffed the shredded tobacco lightly: "Okay, when frying, it should be mixed with lychee water, frying slowly on low heat, this is a real skill, and it will be fermented for another three months, um, good stuff."

The old man took a look at the taste and sniffed it, and even calculated the production process of this tobacco leaf to be very accurate. It can be seen that on the road of an addict, the old man's level of attainment is already extraordinary.

"If you like it, share it with your older half."

Xu Tong said with a smile, he could see that the old man was extraordinary, and he just used this as a breakthrough.

As for the shredded tobacco, although it is rare, it is not difficult for Gao Tianfang. After all, the prestige and power of the Gao family in the local area are still extraordinary.

"Don't get rewarded for nothing. I appreciate your kindness. It's good fortune to be able to take a puff of this shredded tobacco. Let me, the half of this old bone, shorten my life."

As the old man said, he took out a cigarette stick, Xu Tong took a look, although the old man was dressed in rags, but the guy with the cigarette stick was not ordinary, the bamboo stick, the white jade cover, the smoke pot looked like It is brass.

There is particularity in this cigarette holder. The copper pot has a nan stem and a white jade mouth. Copper has the effect of heat conduction and heat resistance. Only half a catty of high-grade brass can make a smoke pot. The white jade mouth is white marble, and the mouth is soft and moist.

The most difficult thing is that this "pole" is the most difficult to choose. The iron pole is white, the copper pole is the second, the wooden pole is medium, and the bamboo pole is the best. It is not the kind of grown bamboo. It must be made of old bamboo roots and bamboo whips. The bamboo joints on the top should be dense and the shape should be good. It is too difficult to find a suitable one.

The tobacco rod of the old man is old at first glance. After years of playing with it, the tobacco rod already has a layer of glass-like texture and paste, and the dense and tangible bamboo joints add a bit of artistic beauty.

Just looking at the state of this thing, one can tell that this thing is probably half of the old man's lifeblood.

Quickly squeeze a pinch of shredded tobacco, the old man's technique is also unique, just put his fingers into the smoke pot, rub it gently in the smoke pot a few times, and you can knead it to make the top solid and the bottom empty.

After taking out the flint to bake for a while, he put it in his mouth and smoked it. After taking two puffs, the old man smashed his mouth and chatted with Xu Tong: "There are few people here, so you must have something to ask for. Look, my old bones can still help."

Or it is often said that the distance between men is often only one cigarette.

Xu Tong was not polite when he heard the words, and after explaining his reason for coming, the old man rolled his eyes, pointed at the man in the back corner who was trembling with a stone in his mouth with the cigarette pot in his hand: "Then go find him, but this man It’s hard to talk, you have to be prepared.”
