Chapter Fifty-Six: Look, the drunkards of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 56 Look, the drunkards of the Tang Dynasty
Zhang Qian would never have thought that the small changes he made in order to change the production methods of the people around him were stolen and reduced by the kind-hearted Ren Da Butler when they were first launched. I wouldn't have thought that even the change after being cut corners by Ren Quan would have caused a whirlwind of happiness in the village.
At this moment, he is in his own home, with a pair of panda eyes formed by lack of enough sleep, entertaining three uninvited guests, He Zhizhang, Zhang Ruoxu and Sun Anzu.
The three old-timers, who had only left his house at 9 to 11 o'clock last night, took turns to state to him with "sad faces" that they had just eaten the morning meal and came to disturb him. (Note: The first meal of the day.) In the Tang Dynasty, there were two main meals a day. )
"Thirteen Lang, the old man didn't mean to be this uninvited villain." Sun Anzu is the oldest, and the reason to disturb him is also the most "sufficient". Only then did the guest and host sit down, and before Zijuan took the servant to boil the tea and send it, he explained helplessly, "It's really that after returning home with the three elixirs you gave me last night, it was suddenly like an initiation, and I came up with several good medicines that can cure incurable diseases. Therefore, I didn't dare to delay for a moment this morning, and after eating the morning meal, I hurried over. ”
"Alas, little friend, I'm ashamed to say it!" Zhang Ruoxu is very real, and before Zhang Qian could figure out what Sun Anzu's words meant to express, he couldn't wait to pull up his sleeves and sweep his face, feeling ashamed.
"The old man's generation is thin, so he has a few more concubines. Last night, Meng Shisanlang gave the six gods flower dew, and after the old man went back, he casually let one of the concubines try it, and as a result, there were many incidents in the inner house. When the old man got up in the morning, he was noisy, so he had to be cheeky and come to ask if he could give the old man a few more bottles of the wind oil essence and the six gods flower dew. Otherwise, there will be more monks in the family and less porridge, and the old man will be really annoyed! ”
"Yes, there is, but the bottle of Liushen Flower Dew is still in the process of being ordered." Zhang Qianqiang held back a smile and comforted in a low voice, "The seniors don't need to worry, the juniors will order Zijuan to vacate a few small gourds and install some trials for the seniors." Wait for Ren Cong, a friend of the juniors, to order the glass bottles from Chang'an City, and then send someone to send another batch to the seniors. ”
"In this way, the old man is welcome!" Zhang Ruoxu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately smiled and bowed his hand, "Although I came in a hurry today, the old man also asked the servant to bring some Jiangnan specialties." Thirteen Lang can taste some when he has time, if he thinks it is delicious to eat, just say a word to the old man. Anyway, you and I are close to each other, and the old man can send you some more at any time! ”
"The seniors are too polite, and the juniors deserve it!" Compared with the 21st century, Datang's ingredients are definitely scarce. Therefore, Zhang Qian heard that there were Jiangnan specialties to eat, and he was also overjoyed.
"Forget it, the two of them are not ashamed, they have found all the reasons they can find, and the old man will not go around the bend with you!" He Zhizhang is a civil official, and he is still a champion who was born when he was a teenager, and he cherishes face more, so he said it at the end. "The old man didn't have time to return to Chang'an last night, so he stayed at Shi Weng's house. Reading in the middle of the night, reading to a pleasant place, I felt that there was no wine to match, so I grabbed your six gods and drank two sips. As a result, this thing goes straight to the navel in one bite, which is really fast! Therefore, early this morning, I urged him to come to you Xiaoyou, and ask for more to go back, so as to comfort the wine worm in his stomach! ”
"What, you're old, you've drunk that six gods flower dew?!" Zhang Qian was taken aback, looked at He Zhizhang in a daze, and blurted out the words of inquiry.
"What, can't you drink the six god flower dew?" He Zhizhang's face was slightly red, and he asked in surprise, "The old man saw that its color was as bright as the morning glow, and when he smelled it, it was like a spring breeze in a peach forest, so it shouldn't be a poisonous thing." ”
"Yes, since this thing can be applied to the wrists and armpits, if it is poisonous, won't it poison many people?" Sun Anzu quickly took over the conversation and added with a smile, "The old man tasted it with his mouth last night, and its sweetness was ten times better than Liu Ling's drunkenness, and it had a long aftertaste. After a while, there was still hot air reaching the limbs, which was really the best choice for transporting medicinal power. If you can take a gourd and soak it in the Yongzhou white flower snake after drying, it should have an excellent effect on wind, spasm, fistula and other diseases. Therefore, the old man couldn't wait to come to ask for help, but unexpectedly, he met Ji Weng and Shi Weng on the road. ”
As he spoke, he took out a huge gourd from his sleeve as if he were playing a trick. He handed it to Zhang Qian.
"Okay, give me the flower water as a wine, and I'm going to make the white snake as a medicinal wine!" Zhang Qian arrived at this moment, and finally figured out the true intention of the three old-timers, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
He is not 100% sure what liquid is used as the main ingredient in the 21st century toilet water. But the main ingredients of the six gods flower dew and wind oil essence that he "copycated" are distilled spirits. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the three old-timers who coincidentally used the six gods to relieve their addiction to alcohol.
It's just that in Zhang Qian's imagination, what he is going to open is a perfume workshop, and he will make a huge profit from selling sixty milliliters for every penny. As a result, the perfume business has not yet opened, but he has opened a liquor factory, which is really too far from his original intention!
Moreover, in addition to Sun Anzu, the other two old-timers, in the eyes of later generations, one is known as "the lonely article presses the half of the Tang Dynasty", and the other is a well-deserved Optimus Pillar in the Tang Dynasty. In case these two people drink too much, they will return to the west in advance. He is dive, I'm afraid it will be difficult to atone for his sins if he crosses twenty more times!
You must know that in order to ensure the volatilization rate of the flower water, he used a distillation furnace to distill several times before purifying the base of the liquor, even if the concentration does not reach the level of pure alcohol in the 21st century, judging by his mouth, it is also comparable to the "stuffy donkey" brought back from Inner Mongolia by his classmates. The three old-timers used to drink more than ten degrees of "Huadiao" before, and they had never been exposed to high-grade wine at all, but now they directly blow "stuffy donkey" with their mouths on a bottle with a capacity of about sixty or seventy milliliters, and they don't drink anything wrong, it's strange! (Note 2: Stuffed donkey, 70 degrees liquor.) )
Thinking of the possible evil consequences of drinking too much, Zhang Qian's heart was furious. hurriedly waved his hand and explained in a loud voice: "Senior, senior, don't drink Liushen Flower Dew in the future." In addition to the peach blossom essence, there are also some musk, borneol and other medicines. If you use it to make wine, I'm afraid it will hurt you. ”
"I actually put the aphrodisiac musk, no wonder the old man tasted it last night, and the feeling of dryness in the abdomen was difficult to go......" Sun Anzu immediately showed his true colors as a medicine idiot, groaning and nodding gently. Immediately, he quickly looked at He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu, and his eyes were full of banter.
"After the old man went home last night, he threw the six gods flower dew and wind oil essence to his concubine Hui Niang, and fell asleep. Sleep until dawn! Zhang Ruoxu's old face suddenly became brilliant like a peach blossom, and he turned his head, wanting to cover it.
"When the old man was studying, he always forgot about things!" He Zhizhang glared at Sun Anzu, an old and immodest one, and announced loudly.
"The purpose of musk is to set the fragrance type, so that the floral fragrance will stay on the clothes for a longer time, and there is no other meaning! Don't get me wrong, three seniors! "Although he has been a little virgin for two lifetimes, Zhang Qian has been hiding more than a dozen G otaku benefits after all. Immediately, from Sun Anzu's strange gaze and the subsequent reactions of Zhang Ruoxu and He Zhizhang, they felt the danger of a pond fish, and hurriedly waved their hands to explain loudly.
"Can musk make floral scents stick to clothing longer? What makes sense? Sun Anzu's attention was immediately diverted by his statement, frowning, and getting to the bottom of it.
'How do I know!' I've only seen it on the Internet before, and an important indicator to distinguish between high-end perfume and cheap perfume is to see if there is a natural musk in it. Those fake animal protectors who make trouble with money ask for their lives every day for wild cats and wild dogs, but they never care, how many male musk deer die every year for the perfume on their bodies! Zhang Qian was asked and complained again and again in his heart, but he could only push everything to the master, "The younger generation doesn't know the reason, but I have seen that in the master's door, someone uses musk to make the six gods flower dew, so I drew a scoop according to the gourd!" ”
"It's a gourd again, but I don't know why it's true!" Sun Anzu's heart was itching, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, "Thirteen Lang, what have you learned over the years?!" Opportunities that others can't dream of, can't you all use them to sleep?! ”
"Imperial Doctor Sun, don't be too harsh on your juniors!" Zhang Ruoxu immediately began to protect his shortcomings, and took the initiative to defend Zhang Qian, "The learning of the Mo family is broad and profound, and many people can only understand one of them in their lives. Even if Zhang Xiaoyou started learning at the age of three, he has only studied for seventeen or eighteen years, how can he be proficient in everything? ”
"You ......" Sun Anzu was so anxious that his beard jumped up and down, but he couldn't refute it.
And that Zhang Ruoxu, after helping Zhang Qian get rid of Sun Anzu's accusations, suddenly felt that he had made a huge contribution. With a smiling face, he discussed with Zhang Qian in a low voice: "Virtuous nephew, there is musk in the Liushen Flower Dew, and it is indeed not suitable to drink as a fine wine." Is that wind oil essence drunk? I tasted it yesterday and it was cool and sweet......"
"Don't drink it!" Zhang Qian's scalp was so frightened that he blurted out in a stoppery voice, "There is holly oil in that thing, it's poisonous!" Drinking too much can kill you! ”
When the words fell, he tasted the taste of the second half of Zhang Ruoxu's words, and quickly grabbed this person's wrist and took the pulse on the spot: "Senior, did you really drink wind oil essence?" How much did you drink? Don't you feel any discomfort right now? ”
"No, it's just a small bottle, and it's all over in two bites? How much more can I drink? Zhang Ruoxu didn't understand why he was so nervous, and frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Avoiding dosage and talking about toxicity is tantamount to scaring people." Sun Anzu also felt that Zhang Qian was making a big fuss, and shook his head lightly beside him, "Eating too much wintergreen oil will indeed cause symptoms such as dizziness and shortness of breath, but only taking a small amount mixed with wine can relieve pain, drive away cold, dispel stasis, and repel insects." Your bottle of wind oil essence can put half a penny of wintergreen oil into it at best, how can it poison people? ”
"It should be no problem, the old man also tasted it yesterday. The taste is not as delicious as the Liushen Flower Dew, but it has a quiet ......" Afraid that Zhang Qian would not be scared enough, He Zhizhang hesitated for a moment and told him calmly beside him.
"Three, all three seniors have drunk? No, I didn't drink it all! It was already very cold, but sweat was rolling on Zhang Qian's forehead. With a bit of luck, he whispered to He Zhizhang, Zhang Ruoxu and Sun Anzu to verify.
"Shhhhh
