C13 Master's birthday present

My master poured us both a glass of wine as he spoke. My master usually doesn't drink that much, and in his words, those normal wines don't enter my eyes. Wine requires thirty years of womanly red, sixty years of cold pool fragrance, seventy years of lotus flower stamen, and now, at least 53 years of old cellars, 27 years of big songs, and right, there's also your side of the country's own wine brewing. That taste is fine, and yours is pretty good as well. Otherwise, he might as well not drink the other wine.

I have no doubt, therefore, that the bottle of wine he brought with him, which he had brought with him, said that even the mayor of the city could not drink it.

"pottery master, you have to spend a lot of money on this wine, right?"

My dad drank a lot of wine, but they were all rice wine brewed at home. He had never bought any Erguotou package before, and after seeing the package and smelling the strong aroma, he immediately understood that the wine was expensive.

"Heh, spending money?"

My master sneered. "Even if you have money, you have no place to buy this wine. Don't ask."

Finished. My master held up a bamboo cup and said, "Today is Qing Waer's eleventh birthday, so let's not talk about other things. Drink!"

After saying that, my master tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He even smacked his lips a few times before letting out a sigh of satisfaction. "En, good wine!"

My dad held the wine in his hand and carefully smelled it for a long time, but still couldn't bring himself to drink it. After everyone finished drinking it, he drank it as if he had made a great decision.

"Come, let's eat. No one needs to be polite."

My master called out again.

"Qingwa, this wine tastes so good. If I can drink this wine every day, how good would that be?"

Fatty said as he picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it.

"Hmph, you stinking brat. All day long. I don't want to. And you still drink every day. You should learn every day."

I didn't say anything, but my master opened his mouth and started speaking to Fatty, Fatty's house is one of the places where my master gets his hands on food, the things that happened to me previously were spread around the village like wildfire, thus he knew that my master was a truly capable person, so he didn't dare retort, and could only mutter: "Master Tao, I just want to, I can't even think about it."

My master looked at Fatty again, and said: "It's fine to think about it, but, I saw that you are a person with good fortune.

"What?" Master Tao, you're talking about me? "Really? Look, am I the village chief in the future? Can I be compared to the owner of our village's pig farm?"

Fatty heard my master praise him a little, and his butt was almost in the sky. He chased after my master asking all sorts of questions, but after my master heard his words, he only rolled his eyes at him, and said: "You have no ambition."

Fatty brought about some embarrassment before he obediently went to eat his chicken leg.

My master only allowed us kids to drink a single cup of wine, and my mother also didn't drink much, so she poured a few more cups for my father. My father's alcohol tolerance could be considered pretty good, but after a few cups, his face had already turned a little red, and on the other hand, my master's expression didn't change at all, as if he was drinking plain water.

After drinking three rounds of food and eating it five times, my master was also drinking it very happily. He patted my shoulder and said, "Qing Waer, today is your birthday, so I specially went to get you something good."

"What good stuff?"

My master smiled mysteriously and took out a round box from the basket. He arranged a vacant seat on the table and placed it on it, then opened the box. As soon as I opened the box and took a look, I could smell a fragrance coming out of it.

To me, the aroma of this thing is even more tempting than the aroma of the wine that Master took out at the beginning.

"Eh, Master Tao, can this thing be eaten?" Fatty had already swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva as he inhaled the fragrance.

"Why can't I eat it? This is called birthday cake, foreign stuff, only the children in the city can eat it. I've specially made one to give Qing Waer a taste, but before eating it, there is another procedure."

As Master spoke, he took out a few small candles from the bag containing the cakes and lit them up, inserting them onto the cake, then said to me, "Qing Waer, close your eyes and make a wish."

My parents have never seen this thing before. After hearing my master make a wish, they asked, "pottery master, can making a wish on this thing be realized?"

In the eyes of my parents, my master was a living god, and anything he said could be accomplished.

After my master heard this, he laughed out loud, saying, "How could that be, it is just entrusting a wish. However, since Qing Waer has entered our sect, it is better to be cautious, and make a wish clearly."

After I heard my master's words, I closed my eyes and said, "My wish is ?"

"Hey, Qing Waer, you country bumpkin, how can you say your wishes? If you want to acquiesce, it won't work." I was interrupted by my Master before I could finish.

I made an "oh" and said I would make a wish but still closed my eyes and silently made the first wish of my life

After making a wish and blowing on the candle, Master split the cake up into several portions. Fatty almost swallowed his own tongue, continuously saying that there was still such a delicious thing in the world, and even my quiet sister had a big mouth to eat.

"Qing Waer, eat slowly. In a while, Master will give you something else."

Hearing that my master still had something to give me, I quickly stewed the food in my mouth and asked what it was.

Master looked at me and smiled and said, "Silly boy," and then he wiped his hands and went into the cave. He came out after a while with a short yellow stick in his hand, about the size of a flute.

Qing Waer, this is my Mount Mao's ghost stick. Different from normal ghost stick, this rod is obtained from the legendary Penglai Immortal Island, it can drive out ghosts and monsters, and can also communicate with the power of underground ghosts. In times of life or death, it can guarantee your safety.

When my parents saw the Demonic Bandits in his master's hands, they put down the chopsticks in their hands. My mother said, "Master Tao, this is unforgivable, you gave Qing Waer a piece of jade when you were young. It was fortunate that Qing Waer kept her life with that piece of jade, and now you ?"

My father picked up the cup and drank the remaining wine in one gulp. He immediately stood up and unexpectedly kneeled down towards my master and said, "pottery master, although I, Liu Guoan am a villager, I have also read a few years' worth of books, so I must know how precious this thing is. What I took out from your hands must definitely be some precious treasure.

His Master immediately supported my father and said, "Let's not talk about the past anymore. After all, he is my own flesh and blood, so how could he let an old man like me take him away for no reason? Furthermore, this is fate, so you don't have to blame yourself. As for Qing Waer and I, since he is my disciple, it is only right that I give him some things to protect herself."
