A pot of wine among the flowers is ten thousand, and you can drink it alone without forgetting friendship first. The sun and the moon are still cherished in the cup, and the fish intestines are hidden in the sword.

―《Qiujiu》 (Later generations suspected that it was written by Mr. Sanfan before Chen's execution)

"Tiger, are you all ready?" asked a man wearing blue clothes and a masked black scarf.

In front of him, a rough-looking and burly man replied respectfully: "Thirty barrels of wine are all ready..."

"Very good!" The voice behind the black scarf was filled with satisfaction, "The people above can't wait, the 'God of Wealth' act is ahead of schedule! During the fifteen days, you must arrive at Dongzhuang and send the gift in!"

The burly man responded softly, turned around and wanted to go down... The voice of the man behind him came again: "Tiger, this name is called the two heroes in the killer together with 'Guiyu'. I wonder if your skills are worthy of this identity..."

The burly man immediately felt cold all over his body. Suddenly, the wind sounded suddenly behind his ears, and he didn't care about his embarrassment. He rushed forward, but with a "swish" sound, a strip of cloth behind him had already taken off his clothes. He didn't care about his cold sweat, and turned forward two more steps before turning around. As he saw that the masked man seemed to have done nothing just now, his two slender and white hands were gently stroking each other... But the masked man's cold voice sounded again: "Hmph! Although you can avoid my attack, your strength is pretty good... But at this level, you have lost the reputation of "Tiger's Rhino"! What's your name..."

The burly man knew that the opposite side was a god of killing, and his face had turned pale. He did not dare to act rashly at this time. He answered honestly: "My real name is Ma Liu. Because I was taken care of by my master, I was selected... Later, I trained that everyone who came in would have to give him a code name again. I think the name "Tiger" has made a big name in the world, and it is also majestic when calling it, so my subordinates used this name on their own initiative..."

After hearing this, the masked man said coldly: "You will still call you Ma Liu in the future! You can't afford the name 'Tiger'...go down!"

Ma Liu was scolded this time, but he didn't dare to turn around. He carefully retreated out of the door before he dared to wipe his forehead and sweat...

The masked man remained silent and sighed lightly after a while.

One day half a month later, the Chen family's wine delivery team finally arrived at the He family compound in Dongzhuang...

Ma Liu respectfully came to Mr. He, handed over the letter he wanted to hand over to He Gui, and then bowed... He Gui opened the letter skin and looked at it quickly, and knew that the person who came was the Chen family. He smiled and said, "This old ghost has always promised this to be a thousand gold--it was said to be about half a moonlight. Isn't this exactly fifteen days?!"

Ma Liu smiled and said, "My master has always been like this. Besides, the friendship between the owner He and the master is there! I can't be careless about you no matter how you are!"

He Gui smiled and said, "That's right! Butler, show the tea and give some people a reward! A few people will move the wine to the wine cellar..."

Ma Liu hurriedly responded: "The master has taken care of him - he will definitely send him to the position. I don't care about these few steps, so let's just do it..." Without waiting for He Gui to be polite, he had already greeted everyone who came to lift the barrel...

Seeing this, He Gui had to laugh and say nothing, letting them do it.

Ma Liu and the others put the barrel into the wine cellar, stood up, looked around for a moment, reached out and patted the barrel three times, and then led everyone back, but no one noticed it. Along the way, powder leaked down from Ma Liu's sleeves, until the hall...

When Ma Liu saw He Gui again, he bowed again and said, "The master has explained some things to us, so I won't bother you more. I'll ask the master He to give me a reply and let me give you an explanation from the master."

He Gui smiled: "What a master and what kind of servant you are? Your master has been rigorous all his life, and you are so careful when you are instructing..." Without further ado, he wrote a receipt in the hall and handed it over to Ma Liu.

Ma Liu took the receipt and took it out to see it, and saw it:

"My brother has received several barrels of wine, thank you.

Brother He Gui bowed his head and bowed again”

Ma Liuguan said with joy and his expression suddenly stopped. He put the receipt away and smiled and said, "We have to go to Taiyuan City to do something, so we won't bother..."

He Gui smiled and signaled to the butler. The butler understood and sent Ma Liu and the others out of the village...

Ma Liu and his team left the three miles of Dongzhuang. A group of ten people unloaded the carriage that delivered wine, put saddles and bridles on the horses, and ten people slammed onto the horses and galloped towards Taiyuan County...

He Guixin said: Last time, Lao Chen and he actually finished a barrel of wine. Although he pretended to be drunk at that time, the intoxication was indeed true. However, that stupid boy had no good fortune last time. Since he sent so many barrels this time, he couldn't say he wanted to bring some to that boy...

Thinking of this, he led a servant to take out a barrel of wine from the wine cellar and run towards Erya's courtyard... But the two of them didn't pay attention. When they were choosing which barrel to move, several wooden barrels trembled slightly...

When he arrived at the courtyard, as He Gui expected, Erya was peeling tofu blocks again like a "crazy" - he wanted to say that his progress was so happy... He Gui laughed in his heart and was able to cut the tofu strips with two fingers into seventy pieces. Compared with him when he was young, he was not as good as his knife skills...

He Gui suddenly shouted loudly: "Boy! I've brought you something rare! Why don't you come here quickly..."

The direct consequence of this loud cry was that the tofu in Erya's hand was pinched to pieces... Looking at Erya who was glaring at him, He Gui smiled faintly without shame and said, "I have not had enough time to calm down and cultivate Qi, who can I blame?"

Erya sighed helplessly: "Old man, what are you doing?"

He Gui signaled the servant to put the wooden barrel on the stone table in the yard, and sat on the stone pier with a golden knife, gently patting the wine barrel: "Hey! I'll give you some good things to try..." As he said that, he simply scraped the fire paint with the knife on the stone table and pulled the plug open.

Erya sniffed the familiar smell, her eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise: "Wine?"

He Gui was surprised: "Do you know?"

Erya's eyes turned and laughed: "When General Xiang Tao guarded Xijiang, he drank this wine. He once recited the famous line "Hungry ambition to eat Beirong meat, laugh at the thirst and drink Xidi blood" forever... Why haven't you heard it?"

He Gui's temper is unwilling to be weak in his knowledge. This young boy Erya replied unconvincedly: "I have heard of it, but I didn't expect you, a kid, to be as knowledgeable as me..."

Erya laughed in her heart, but she didn't say it clearly. She came to the stone table a few steps, and simply used two small bowls as goblets, carried the wine barrel and poured two bowls, and slowly shook the bowl...

The old man smiled and said, "I didn't expect to be an expert..."

Erya said lightly: "I said, this scholar traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books. You just underestimated me..." He smelled the fragrance and felt that it was almost done. He took a sip and frowned slightly: "Two steamed and two brewed wines are still a bit astringent..." As he said that, he walked into the kitchen and took a jar of Huadiao Laojiu and a bamboo tube.

He Gui asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Erya smiled mysteriously: "I'll give you some fresh ones!" As she said that, she sealed the flower-drawn mud, poured some of the two kinds of wine into the bamboo tube, and then used her hands to shake violently...

He Gui was anxious: "Hey! Erya, you're a waste of resources! You have to drink pure wine. If you mess up, can't you become a four-way person?"

Erya smiled faintly and said, "It's a pity that this is a bamboo tube, which makes you unable to see my level. It would be great if there was a glass..."

He Gui asked, "Glass?"

"It's a kind of crystal, transparent... The mixed wine looks clearly from the side, but there is a silver thread in the middle..." Erya painted it with a little regret on her face; while pouring the wine from the bamboo tube into the bowl.

He Gui was interested by his words: "Oh? This is really fresh, I want to taste it..." He couldn't wait to pick up the bowl, take a sip, and showed his face in surprise: "Okay! One wine covers the taste of two wines, and does not conflict with each other, but it smells even more..." He smacked his lips and savored it slowly before remembering the question: "What's the name of this wine?"
