Chapter 246: Drinking
Wen Shizhang's eyes did not leave the two beds for a moment at this time. He has been playing the piano for decades, even if the piano is not wound, he can feel the color of the piano in seven or eight points, and now the two beds of piano on the workbench, he is no longer satisfied.
In his opinion, after the completion of these two beds of pianos, in terms of timbre, they can definitely overshadow a vote of Song Qin Mingqin, which is now a treasure for many people, if you talk about it regardless of the weight of history, these two beds of pianos are definitely in the top ten in the world with this timbre.
"I'm afraid that this qin is better than your lonely crane Guifei, but it is slightly inferior to Zhifeng Qingyun," Wen Shizhang asked.
Bian Rui nodded: "Indeed!"
At this point, Bian Rui has to admit that these two pianos do exceed the lone crane Guifei made by himself for his daughter's practice, first, the skill of chopping the piano has increased, and the second is that the materials are more demanding, as for the childish Feng Qingyun, the piano material is available but not sought.
The main reason is that these days Bian Rui picks the material too much, often thousands of materials to pick out a good piano material, first of all, the trunk has to grow to about 60 centimeters, after cutting down the tree, only take the best place, a tree only out of a total of two bed panels, such a waste of work, if it is really put outside, the waste of material to sell wood is afraid that it will cost three or five hundred thousand, and no piano shop in the world outside the space can support such a waste.
The consequence of such a selection is naturally that the piano materials are all first-class, and Bian Rui's craftsmanship is also slowly improving, and the piano produced is naturally better than a bed, and it is inevitable that the new piano is better than the old piano.
"Can you advance the time of the piano?" Wen Shizhang was a little itchy.
Bian Rui shook his head: "The approximate time is about the same, not fast, you also know that the work of making the piano is all the work at hand, and the slow work produces the meticulous work! The quality of the time can not be guaranteed, after the piano comes out, as long as you maintain it well, it will not crack for hundreds of years."
"Okay," Wen Shizhang nodded in response.
As a piano lover, Wen Shizhang at this time couldn't wait to take the piano back directly, and then show it to Fu Qingxu, telling him that his piano was half a point better than his piano in timbre. But now that he heard Bian Rui say this, he naturally pressed the thoughts in his heart.
Seeing Wen Shizhang's appearance, Bian Rui quickly pulled him out of the studio, came outside and asked Old Man Wu and Master Yan to take him to continue looking at the house, while he went into the kitchen and started the whole banquet.
The general things were almost done just now, but now it's just a wrap-up, and soon in less than ten minutes, Bian Rui will tidy up the noon dishes.
"Where are you going to eat, or do you want to go to the house or just put the table in the courtyard?" Bian Rui asked the people in the courtyard as he stood at the door of the kitchen, wiping his hands with his apron.
Old Man Yan and Old Man Wu listened and looked at Wen Shizhang together. Wen Shizhang is also an old China expert, so he naturally knows that he should make a decision as the host and guest, or give an explanation or something.
"Forget it, I'm free, where you think it's where you are, don't be restrained, let's have a good time," Wen Shizhang said.
Old Man Yan listened and said: "Then in the yard, put the table under the big ginkgo tree, get another fan, and put two ice ...... behind it."
Bian Rui began to get busy after hearing the answer.
Bian Rui made the ice here, while Zhou Zheng and the rest of the people moved the table and carried the bench.
The table in the courtyard is a small eight-immortal table, a small square table of eighty centimeters, about fifty or sixty centimeters high, and the chair is also a small bamboo chair with a height of twenty or thirty centimeters.
There are a total of eight dishes, not too particular, there are no four cold and four hot, three cold dishes and five hot dishes, the cold dishes are salted peanuts, tomatoes mixed with sugar and preserved egg tofu, the hot dishes are burned a duck, a braised chicken nuggets, salt-baked shrimp, braised eel or something, the main thing is meat and mushrooms, plus a green vegetable tofu soup.
"Everyone will be at once, and there will be no dishes," Bian Rui put the dishes on the table and said in a Chinese politeness.
Wen Shizhang smiled when he heard this: "Hearing you say this, I remembered the doubts I had when I first came to China, and saw a table of dishes, no less than twenty plates, and the host's family was still busy with it, but there was no ...... in his mouth."
Hahaha!
Wen Shizhang said something interesting, and everyone cheered along with the audience.
Old Man Wu said: "Lao Wen, you don't look like Bian Rui's kid to me, obviously quite young, but sometimes he looks like a little old man, and he is very capable of pretending, come, let's go!"
Old Man Wu automatically slapped the sealing mud of the wine jar, poured the wine into the copper wine jug, and then filled several wine dispensers on the table, picked up the wine glass and said to Wen Shizhang.
For the wine in Bianjia Village, the old man Wu is greedy and can't be greedy anymore, the old man is just this mouthful, if it can be paired with the salted peanuts made by Bian Rui, the old man will not need other dishes to drink, now there are both, the old man is naturally not polite.
Wen Shizhang didn't fall for him, as a Chinese expert, he didn't understand this etiquette, so he reached out and pressed Master Wu's hand: "Let's listen to what the master has to say first."
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that Wen Shizhang was not an ordinary stupid foreigner, and he must also be a soldier who was tested by the alcohol of the time, so they all looked at Bian Rui with a smile.
Bian Rui saw that the big guys were looking at him, and said with a smile: "What is there to say." This first cup, let's welcome Wen Shizhang to our village as a guest!"
Bian Rui raised his glass, and everyone followed suit.
According to the rules of my hometown, I drank four glasses of open-door wine in a row, and the rest of the time was free to move, who should be to drink, and those who wanted to chat could also chat.
Wen Shizhang chatted warmly with Bian Rui and Old Man Yan, and Bian Rui brought Zhou Zheng here, and the old man who only had good wine was looking for someone to drink with a wine glass, this four cups and that four glasses, and soon a small half catty of wine entered his stomach.
Old Man Wu drank to the up, took off his shirt directly, and threw it on the flower bed shelf next to him: "Lao Wen, I won't be polite to you!"
When Wen Shizhang saw his appearance, he smiled and took off his shirt, and changed it into the style of the old farmer in the countryside when he ate in the summer - shirtless.
"It's still so happy!" Wen Shizhang laughed.
Bian Rui and Zhou Zheng saw each other, and simply took off their shirts, originally when everyone was eating at home, they were shirtless this season, but now they were covered tightly because of Wen Shizhang, and when they saw the guests take off, who would still be wearing clothes, and if they put on this clothes again, they would be soaked with sweat.
In a moment, the five people around the table were all shirtless, and four of them were quite happy, but Zhou Zheng suddenly felt a little awkward.
Seeing Zhou Zheng's appearance, Old Man Wu smiled and said, "Zhou family boy, haven't you eaten like this?"
Zhou Zheng smiled slightly embarrassed: "Yes, but it's really cool."
Although it is now the tail of midsummer, and the children are about to start school, the weather is still quite hot, especially when eating, the temperature will be very high, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to sweat after eating a meal.
Therefore, when the two old men came to the village, they slowly learned the tricks of the villagers, that is, they must be shirtless and sweat when they eat.
"You kid should stay here for a little more time, it's humane to live here!" Old Man Wu smiled and patted Zhou Zhengzai on the shoulder.
Zhou Zheng's face was quite embarrassed, but he didn't refute it, just kept saying yes or something.
Obviously, there is something in this, but no one at the table asked, and everyone ate their own food as if they did not hear it.
Old Man Wu didn't say much to Zhou Zheng, but turned to Wen Shizhang: "I said Lao Wen, wait for the end of the meal, let's go to the river to take a bath, when we soak for about ten minutes, let's get a recliner and hide in the shade, whether it's playing chess or poker, it's a pleasure, if you get two big watermelons to eat like this, it's a fairy day, I'll take you to experience it later!"
Wen Shizhang laughed when he heard it: "Good, good!"
Bian Rui smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
"I said Bian Rui, you kid is a little sloppy in this dish! This salted peanut rice is not as delicious as a few days ago" Old Man Wu stretched out his chopsticks and clicked on the plate of peanuts, making a dinging sound.
Bian Rui replied: "Today's soaking time is a little too late, the peanuts are slightly soaked, you will eat it, please come over to accompany the guests, and it is not the main guest which dish you picked."
"I can't pick it yet?" the old man smiled.
"Peanuts?" Wen Shizhang saw that Old Man Wu cared so much about peanuts, so he stretched out his chopsticks and took a grain and tasted it.
At first, it felt ordinary, but the more you chewed, the more fragrant it became, and soon Wen Shizhang picked up the second chopsticks, followed by the third chopsticks.
"That's good!"
Old Man Wu said: "Don't just eat, eat peanuts with wine, two or three peanuts in a sip of wine and chew the taste is good."
So the two touched a glass and ate peanuts while drinking.
"It's been almost twenty minutes since you ate peanuts, and it's only the first time you've eaten peanuts?" Bian Rui asked when he saw Wen Shizhang's appearance.
Wen Shizhang said: "I used to like to eat this when I was drinking."
At this time, Wen Shizhang's chopsticks clicked on the sugar-mixed tomatoes.
It is not surprising for his choice that Bian Rui always likes this sweet and sour taste.
"This is not his highest skill, let's let him have another plate in the evening, don't miss it this time," said the old man.
Old man Yan smiled and said to his old friend: "You are a little promising, you only order this plate of dishes every time, look at this table, there are fish, chickens and shrimp are not enough for you to eat, I don't think there is anything delicious about peanuts."
"That's because you've eaten enough, and I don't have anyone to deliver it!" said Master Wu.
Old Man Yan laughed and scolded: "If you have the ability, you can also let people send it!"
When the old man Wu heard this, he jokingly said to Bian Rui: "I said little Bian Rui, I have a granddaughter, today is twenty-seven, and now she is studying in Europe, and she is very beautiful, and when I come back, I will introduce you to ......."
When Bian Rui heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm two generations later than you all of a sudden, I won't do it!"
"I'll go, if you say this in front of your granddaughter, I'll admit it," Old Man Yan said after hearing this.
As soon as he heard this, the old man Wu immediately coaxed: "Forget it, just because I didn't say it!"
"I'm getting old and I'm so hopeless, I've been scared into a quail by my granddaughter!" said Master Yan with a sneer.
