Chapter 2060 Set Foot on the Pearl
Pearl, port.
Wearing a plain coat with a few patches and a pair of old cloth shoes, Zhang Zangyuan stood in front of the pier, looking up from time to time.
He was waiting for someone, someone he didn't expect to come.
However, the two boats crossing the river had left, and he didn't see the person he wanted to see.
Suddenly, someone beside him grabbed Zhang Zangyuan's wrist, "Old Zhang, long time no see."
Looking at Li Zitao who was also wearing a coat and carrying a broken box in his hand, Zhang Zangyuan's eyes were inexplicably wet.
"Yes, long time no see, long time no see!"
Li Zitao pulled his wife whose hair was wrapped in a cloth and tulle hanging in front of her: "This is Mary, do you remember her?"
"I remember, of course I remember." Zhang Zangyuan wanted to bow when he said that, but his back was stretched enough.
Holding his hand and lifting it up, Zhang Zangyuan couldn't bend anymore, "Don't pay attention to these now, let's talk about it when we go back."
Zhang Zangyuan also realized that there are many people at the pier, so he should go back first.
The place where he lived was still the old house, but it looked dilapidated from the outside.
This was done on purpose by Zhang Zangyuan, and so was the clothes on his body.
"My life is going well! I have Mr. Lian taking care of me, keep a low profile, and no one will come looking for trouble."
The layout in the big house is very simple, except for the necessary things, all the rest have been withdrawn, "It's all locked in the back, piled up and hidden behind the sundries!"
Seeing that he is really in good spirits, he can see with his eyes and hear with his ears.
It's just that he lost a lot of teeth, but Li Zitao believed what he said, he didn't suffer much!
It is definitely impossible to feel a little bit of suffering, but it is already very good in comparison.
Finding that there was no one in the huge courtyard, Li Zitao asked curiously, "Old Zhang, where are the family members?"
Zhang Zangyuan sat down and smiled: "They are all on the side of the Hong Kong River. My wife is weak and my grandson is young, so I sent them there."
Li Zitao nodded clearly,
"Then why don't you follow?"
"Didn't I promise you to show you this place?"
Zhang Zangyuan came here just as he said, as if it should be his responsibility.
"You, dead-brained!"
Li Zitao couldn't help but point his finger at him, not knowing what to say.
Zhang Zangyuan grinned: "I have no other skills, but I know that I have promised others, and I must do it."
Li Zitao raised his eyes and said: "This is your greatest ability, who dares to say that this is not your ability!"
"Haha, don't talk, don't talk." Zhang Zangyuan waved his hands and laughed, got up and walked into the house, saying as he walked, "I'm going to open two jars of good wine, let's have a good drink tonight!"
Li Zitao got up to help, and Mary also took off the cloth and veil wrapped around her head, preparing to cook two delicate dishes.
During the Chinese New Year, Li Xiaobin's family always came, and she also learned the secrets of ordering Chinese food.
Simple side dishes, cutting meat or something is okay.
Two altars of old wine were dug out from the pit in the backyard, and Zhang Zangyuan said he was going out to buy some meat.
I ordered meat tickets and some snack tickets, put them in my pocket and went out.
Put the wine on the ground and knock off the soil on top.
You can smell a fragrance even before it is opened, and Mary in the kitchen came here after smelling it.
Seeing the jar covered with dirt, not only did he not dislike it, but was full of surprise: "Old wine?"
Li Zitao couldn't help but nodded, "Old wine, brew it yourself, and bury it yourself."
Mary licked her lips and said, "I need to drink a few more glasses."
Her love for old wine has to start with the old wine Li Zitao found in Chinatown and brought home for her to taste.
At first it was just a taste.
But as she drank, she became addicted!
When Li Zitao came home again, she drank up both jugs of wine, "Charlie, I like this, where can I buy it, we should store more."
This kind of authentic old wine brewed from grain is not always available.
Li Zitao had no choice but to find someone who had learned the recipe of wine making to take home. The two brewed hundreds of altars according to the recipe, which took two months.
Then, seal the wine with mud and dry it in the sun.
Buried in the open space next to the rose garden in front of the gate, this place was chosen because Mary said, "In this way, maybe it can absorb the fragrance of roses."
It is not clear whether it will absorb the aroma of roses. Anyway, they have not dug out and tasted it in the past five years.
Mary helped him clean up the dirt on it, and asked curiously, "How long has this wine been stored?"
"Judging from the date on the seal, it's almost 40 years."
There is a date on the seal knocked off the soil, and there are several red characters clearly written on it in the 30th year of the Republic of China.
"Wow~"
Mary looked at the jar of wine in surprise, and became more interested in it.
About an hour later, Zhang Zangyuan came back with a few oiled paper bags, followed by a man in a coat.
"Mr. Li, look who is here."
Hearing the voice, Li Zitao walked out the door, and immediately laughed when he saw the person coming: "Sophisticated, haha, you didn't expect to see me here, did you?"
"I didn't expect it." Lian Qinglin was surprised, and said with a smile: "I thought I would never see him again in this life."
"I think so too, but sometimes things just get weird."
Compared with him back then, Lian Qinglin's hair is even more gray.
His body is no longer so handsome, his shoulders are drooping, his waist is bent, and his legs and feet are slow when walking.
When she came to the main hall and sat down, Mary took the things in Zhang Zangyuan's hands and said that she would get them by herself.
This gave Zhang Zangyuan a fright, how could she be a princess, how could she do this kind of work.
But he still couldn't snatch Mary away. Seeing her walking into the kitchen with her things, Zhang Zangyuan followed with anxiety.
Quickly take apart the greased paper, take out the pork head meat inside, turn it to cut into pieces.
The elbows were put on a plate whole, and the roast chicken and duck were also violently torn, which is completely the performance of a peasant shrew.
Zhang Zangyuan was full of emotions for a while, 'Mr. Li still has a way, the princess can teach like this, he is really a role model for my generation! '
When all the wine and dishes were served on the table, Mary couldn't wait to stare at the wine jar on the ground.
Li Zitao stretched out his hand to grab it, and pierced the paper seal with his fingertips: "Old Zhang, you have to bring me a jar when you leave. Mary has already been fascinated by your old wine."
Zhang Zangyuan glanced at Mary unexpectedly, and asked, "Madam also likes to drink this kind of wine?"
Mary smiled calmly and said, "Yes, Charlie once tasted it for me, and I gradually fell in love with it."
"Madam's Far Eastern language is really good." Lian Qinglin said with admiration.
"Come on, let's do one first, to celebrate the reunion!"
Li Zitao got up and poured the wine for everyone, Zhang Zangyuan wanted to snatch it for himself, but failed several times, so he stopped pushing.
"Cheers." Together they raised the large bowls with shallow bottoms and flat mouths, and there was only the sound of swallowing in the room.
