I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 64
"Son."

Not long after leaving the wine cellar, Cao Hai hurried up to Xu Le, cupped his hands and said, "The old man is awake and clamoring for a drink."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xu Le nodded and said, "Lead the way."

"Yes."

Following behind Cao Hai, Xu Le fell silent.

He was also very curious about whether that weird old man was the legendary nine-fingered beggar.

The Tianji Pavilion in Dazhou has a list of masters, which is updated once a month.

It is said that it was compiled by the extremely mysterious owner of the Tianji Pavilion, the Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The nine-fingered beggar is the master on the master list, and is No. 40 and eighth on the list.

Don't think 48 bits is low.

In fact, there are hundreds of masters in the world, but there are only fifty masters who can make the list.

Without exception, they are all strong among the masters.

Like Wei Wuji, a new grandmaster who has been promoted for several months and has an unstable foundation, in the hands of an old master on the grandmaster list, he is afraid that he will lose if he can't even make three moves.

If the old man is really a nine-fingered beggar, Xu Le made up his mind to hug this golden thigh no matter what he said.

After walking for a while, the two came to a hut.

At this moment, there were a few wine workers standing aside, looking helplessly at the old man lying on the ground, rolling around and acting like a rascal, their faces were full of helplessness.

"Wine... I want to drink, where is the wine, serve the wine!"

A wine worker shook his head and said, "Old man, get up first, you are playing a rascal here, what do you look like?"

The old man's face was flushed, and his white hair was messy. Looking at the wine workers in front of him, he said angrily, "If you don't give me wine, I won't get up."

"You! Old man, this is Xu's Winery, the property of Xu's in Jialing! It's not a place for you to be presumptuous. You can't afford it? If you can't afford it, you can do it with me. Don't blame us for not warning you. "

"I don't care about his property, even the emperor's Huangzhuang. I can't afford it. If you have the ability, kill me."

The old man twisted his neck, and said: "I forgot to tell you, old man, I am a master brewer. All right, you can do it."

As he spoke, he put his head in his hands, closed his eyes, and pretended to be an ostrich.

The wine workers looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces flushed with anger from the rogue old man, but they didn't dare to make a move after all.

"You all step back." Just when several people were in a dilemma, a voice came.

Seeing that it was Cao Hai, the head manager of the winery, the wine workers let out a sigh of relief and retreated.

"Stop the fight? If you don't fight, you'll have to drink, don't leave!" The old man raised his head, and seeing a few people leaving, he became anxious and couldn't help shouting.

Xu Le was a little dumbfounded.

Could this old man lying on the ground in front of him, playing tricks and rolling around for a sip of wine, really be the legendary old master, the Nine-fingered God Beggar?

This is too weird.

"Don't worry, old man, I have wine here." Xu Le knelt down, looked at the old man in front of him and said.

When the old man heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Xu Le with bright eyes: "Do you have wine?"

"That's right." Xu Le nodded, looked at the old man and said, "However, you have to answer a question for me."

"Okay, okay, just give the wine, don't say one question, even ten, one hundred, one thousand, I will agree to the old man."

The old man opened his mouth in a hurry, as if he couldn't wait.

Xu Le smiled, stared at the old man's cloudy old eyes, and asked: "Dare to ask senior, but the great master of the world, the nine-fingered beggar?"

"Have you finished asking?" The old man looked unremarkable, and asked questions instead of answering.

Xu Le was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"I'm done asking, where's the wine?" The old man grabbed the big gourd on his back, handed it to Xu Le, and said as a matter of course.

The corner of Xu Le's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"I don't care, you've already asked, I want wine. If you don't give it, old man, I won't be able to get up!" He rolled his eyelids and lay on the ground again, looking like he couldn't drink oil and salt. .

"My lord, it's my fault." Cao Hai on the side also felt a headache, walked up to Xu Le and said, "I saw him begging in the street, and claiming to be a master of brewing, so he softened his heart for a moment and sent him to Xu Le. Bring it here, and I'll drive him away."

After saying that, Cao Hai planned to call someone.

Xu Le waved his hands, stood up and looked at the old man in front of him, and said, "No need. You are not wrong, Cao Hai, you helped me get a great opportunity, not only you are not wrong, but you have merit. After this incident, go to the cashier to receive 5000 taels silver."

"what?"

Cao Hai was taken aback for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he was suddenly filled with fear and surprise.

"Thank you sir."

5000 taels of silver was his monthly salary for two years. With so much money, not to mention marrying a daughter-in-law, it was more than enough to take three beautiful concubines.

Cao Hai's face flushed with excitement, wishing he could die for Xu Le.

After trying his best to calm himself down, he couldn't help asking: "My lord, what should this old man do?"

"Didn't he ask for wine? Then give him wine." Xu Le smiled.

The voice just fell.

The old man who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead got up and stared straight at Xu Le: "Are you serious?"

"Naturally, senior please." Xu Le smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Le took the beggar old man to the wine storehouse dedicated to the wine shop.

There are hundreds of huge vats stored here, and there are hundreds of them, all of which are filled with Xu's Yutangchun, and the fragrance of the wine makes people feel drunk.

"Senior, this is the wine storehouse of my Xu's winery, seniors can enjoy the fine wine in it." Xu Le turned around, looked at the old man and smiled.

The old man didn't listen to a word.

His eyes lit up, and before Xu Le could finish speaking, he rushed to a large wine jar, lifted the seal of the wine, lay down on the mouth of the jar and sniffed it, and even dipped his finger in the wine to taste it.

The next moment, he shook his head and muttered something in his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, he walked to the next wine tank.

In just one cup of tea, dozens of large wine vats were visited by the old man.

Cao Hai's face was livid, and he couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Old man, these are the fine wines that my brothers in the winery worked hard day and night, and now you can use them, are you not satisfied?"

"Excellent wine?" Hearing Cao Hai's words, the old man rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it's all stinky wine, and it's all rubbish. Give it to the old man, and the old man doesn't even want it."

"you……"

Cao Hai's eyes spewed fire, and he clenched his fists, about to explode.

These wines are all the crystallization of the labor of his wine workers brothers, but now they are devalued as worthless. This is like slapping him in the face in front of the son.

Xu Le pressed Cao Hai down, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Oh? Then seniors think, what kind of wine is good wine?"

"Of course it's the Ziji Imperial Wine from the palace, the fine nectar from Yaochi, and the Nine Secret Enlightenment Wine from Kunlun... Well, there are also the legendary seven wines from the Seven Wine Sword Sect, which were handed down by the wine sage Du Kang. That's fine wine."

The old man glanced at Xu Le and the two of them. His eyes were like looking at two country bumpkins.

"Oh? Seniors have drunk all these wines?" Xu Le asked with his eyes flickering.

Up to now, he can already be sure that the person in front of him must be the nine-fingered beggar without a doubt.

Otherwise, an ordinary old beggar would never have such insight.

"Except for the divine wine of the Seven Wine Sword Sect, I have had the honor to drink the other three. Especially the Ziji Royal Wine, which was bestowed by His Majesty, the taste is really nostalgic..."

As he spoke, the old man's eyes became blurred, he licked his lips, and seemed to be completely immersed in the memories of the past.

Cao Hai on the side snorted when he heard it, he just took it as the old man's crazy words.

His Majesty's gift?
His Majesty has been enthroned for less than a year now, apart from giving wine once during the enthronement ceremony, where else has wine been given?

This old beggar brags and doesn't write drafts.

But Xu Le's heart was pounding. He knew that what the old man in front of him said was probably true.

"Senior, this junior still has some wine here, maybe not as good as the royal wine in the palace, fine nectar and jade liquid, but... compared to the wine in this wine store, it is still better."

"Oh? There's more? Take me to have a look." Hearing that there was still wine, the old man suddenly woke up from his memory and hurriedly urged Xu Le.

"Senior, don't worry, Cao Hai, you go down first."

"Yes."

After dismissing Cao Hai, Xu Le said to the old man, "Senior, please follow me."
