Chapter 60: The Strongman Is Difficult
New store, new atmosphere!
Yang Yun of this wine shop does not plan to adopt the popular way of sitting on the floor and eating separately in this era, but introduces tables, chairs and benches, and the family or relatives and friends sit around for dinner, without having to sit cross-legged or kneel so hard.
The lobby on the ground floor is equipped with eight immortal tables and four benches to arrange as many places as possible, while the second floor is divided into private rooms, which are arranged with round tables and chairs to facilitate customers who like to show off their pockets.
Yang Yun found carpenters and asked them to work overtime to make furniture that was ahead of this era as soon as possible.
Back at the workshop, Yang Yun began to make firecrackers.
In fact, the principle of firecrackers is not complicated, only the sealing process needs to be completed, and the outside can be wrapped with paper.
Yang Yun had dismantled firecrackers when he was a child, and he had a lot of experience in how to seal firecrackers with mud, and last time he made "two kicks" in Shifang County, which was used as a signal to start a war, and the two kicks were much more complex than ordinary firecrackers, so he didn't have much effort to make firecrackers.
"Dao Chief, what kind of artifact is this?"
Yang Yun was about to test firecrackers in the open space in the backyard of the workshop, when Han Qinglie appeared behind him with a smile.
Yang Yun put down the fire fold that was ready to light the firecracker, turned his head sideways and replied: "The application of the spell is ever-changing, this kind of fire whip is one of them, it can be set off during festivals and red and white ceremonies, drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, and become auspicious in trouble, as a cultivator, you should master the mystery...... Is there anything wrong with the Han envoy? ”
Han Qinglie said with a smile: "There is an immortal chief of Qingyang Palace at the door of the workshop, saying that he came to visit, this is a post. ”
Yang Yun's good mood suddenly disappeared by half, and he secretly thought: "The people who have always wanted to avoid Qingyang Palace, now that people have come to the door again, they are very respectful, I can't avoid it." ”
"Yes, please." Yang Yundao.
……
……
Yang Yun returned to the workshop and met the envoy of Qingyang Palace in the flower hall dedicated to hospitality.
The person who came was about forty years old, with a very white face, no beard, white sideburns visible between his ears, and a fairy wind bone.
The person who came this time was very imposing at a glance, the other party was wearing a neat Taoist robe, and the four Taoist children next to him were holding dust, magic swords and other things, this grand appearance couldn't help but make Yang Yun think of the scene when he first saw Qinghe.
Yang Yun thought to himself: "Is it that the Taoist priests who are a little famous these years like to put on a show?" ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest took the dust whisk handed by the Taoist boy with his right hand, gently raised it in the air, put it in the crook of his left arm, and said with a pleasant face: "Immeasurable Tianzun, the poor Dao is the green sheep and the law." ”
Yang Yun was not so particular, and said: "Under the Wuzun real seat, the disciple is commonly known as Yang Yun." ”
Fa Ling asked curiously, "Isn't there no Daoist Friend Mo without a Dao number?" But I don't know which immortal mountain to cultivate? ”
Yang Yundao: "The master did not give the name of the Dao, and he was known as the common name, as for the mountain gate...... Family teachers travel all over the world, live without a fixed place, and have no sticks. ”
"Oh, I see." Fa Ling was relieved.
In this era, the cultivation path is very mixed, there are both "famous and upright" with a long heritage like Qingyang Palace, and there are also "wild roads" that are not limited to the cultivation of mountain gates.
It is very clear in the industry that the cultivation of the Tao mostly uses tricks, and it is not uncommon to form a group to fool, success is success, and failure is only temporarily dormant, and then come out to deceive people after the limelight has passed...... The previous green crane belonged to the "wild road".
Yang Yun asked, "I don't know what happened when Daoist Fa Ling came?" ”
Fa Ling smiled at Yang Yun, his eyes had a little more essence, and said, "In order to celebrate the victory of Marshal Wang Jie's troops in Xichuan, Qingyang Palace is ready to convene the cultivators of the six gates and sixty-four mountains of the eight palaces of Jiannan Dao to hold a festival together...... Poor Dao came to send an invitation. ”
Yang Yun frowned when he heard this.
Han Qinglie, who was standing next to him and listening, showed excitement on his face and exclaimed: "So many masters have come to Chengdu, it can really be regarded as a Taoist event. ”
Fa Ling took out the invitation and was about to hand it over, but Yang Yun didn't answer, shook his head and said, "I'm busy with affairs, I'm afraid I don't have time to participate in this festival." ”
Fa Ling had a bright smile on his face that saw through everything, as if he had expected Yang Yun to say this, and continued to say calmly: "This invitation is not just to invite you, but also to invite the Venerable Master to participate in this grand event, which is actually an invitation letter to the Ling Master. ”
Yang Yun took a look, and sure enough, it was an invitation to his master Wuzun to attend the meeting.
Yang Yunxin said: "The people of Qingyang Palace are scheming, they know that inviting me, I am easy to refuse on the grounds that I am busy with official business, and at the same time, I feel that it is too targeted to invite me alone, so I put the target on my nominal master, people in this era respect the teacher, as a disciple, I can't make decisions on behalf of the master...... Qingyang Palace held this festival, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink! ”
Yang Yun said: "The master travels all over the world, and there is no fixed place to live, so I am afraid it is not easy to find. ”
Fa Ling smiled and said: "This doesn't matter, Qingyang Palace will spread all the mountain gates of Jiannan Road, so that he can help spread the news, be sure to let Lingshi know the news, I believe that he will come to Yizhou after getting the news, the festival is scheduled to be held in a month and a half, the time is completely in time, as long as he is in Shudi, there will be enough time to participate." ”
Seeing Fa Ling's confident appearance, Yang Yun was very disdainful.
You think that you have great powers, and you can even command all the Dao Sects in the entire Jiannan Dao, but how can you find a person who doesn't exist at all?
"Again."
Fa Ling straightened his face and said in a threatening tone, "This festival is held to celebrate a brilliant victory of the imperial soldiers and horses in the Jinchuan region on the one hand, and to pray for the next step in capturing Huiye Castle...... When the festival is held, the festival commander will come in person, if the commander knows that the relationship is important but does not show up, one is not to give face to the friends of the mountain sect in Jiannan Province, and then he does not want to share the worries for the festival marshal, and has ill intentions. ”
Fa Ling immediately smiled, changed his face and said: "However, I believe that Lingshi is reasonable and loyal to the imperial court, and he will not be absent from such a grand event for the country and the people." ”
Grace and power!
Yang Yun carefully pondered the routine of Qingyang Palace, and probably knew it in his heart: "Qingyang Palace has a deep background, and even threats are so arrogant, under the guise of the court and the people, to put it bluntly, I just want to force my non-existent master out and serve Qingyang Palace as the leader of Jiannan Daomen!" ”
Even Han Qinglie, who heard these words next to him, felt that there was something wrong with it, and said: "You can't say that, in case Wuzun real people travel all over the world, they happen to be not in Jiannan Road......"
Fa Ling glanced at Han Qinglie coldly, as if to say, you are a small envoy who has the qualifications to speak?
Cold sweat poured down Han Qinglie's forehead, and he was silent.
Yang Yun said: "I will notify the family teacher as much as possible, but the family teacher's whereabouts are uncertain, and it is doubtful whether this matter can be successfully conveyed." ”
Fa Ling said with a smile: "People must come, this is the hope of all Daoists in Jiannan Dao." Poor Dao still had to go to the side to convey the matter, so he didn't bother much and took his leave. ”
……
……
The fact that Qingyang Palace and the Taoist friends of various sects in Jiannan Province held a Dharma meeting soon spread to the streets.
Even the royal family received the news to find Yang Yun, and when he learned from Yang Yun that Qingyang Palace had sent someone to invite him, he said in surprise: "It turned out that Daoist Faling personally came to invite him?" Fa Ling has a respected status in Qingyang Palace, and he rarely shows up, so it seems that he attaches great importance to the masters. ”
Han Qinglie reminded on the side: "The one who invited is the master of the Daoist. ”
Wang Jidao: "It's normal, this time the Dharma meeting held in Qingyang Palace is mainly based on the sect, of course, individuals can also participate, but the master is not a faction of his own, there is a teacher above, and it is completely understandable to invite the master of the master." ”
Yang Yun was not interested in any puja at all, and he couldn't find a master to deal with it.
Yang Yun asked, "If you don't attend, what will happen?" ”
"This ......"
Wang Ji hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's naturally best if you can attend, but it's really not good...... The result is not easy to say, the sects invited this time will basically attend, it's just that you can't go, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Jiannan Dao in the future. Qingyang Palace has unparalleled prestige in the Bashu Daomen, and if they say a word to suppress the master's faction, I am afraid that the master will not be able to move an inch in the future...... Of course, the marshal will speak for you. ”
Yang Yun knew very well that if Qingyang Palace really issued a ban order, the festival would prevent Wang Yu from wading into troubled waters, because Wang Yu belonged to the rogue officials sent by the imperial court to perform his duties in Jiannan Province, and there was no need to offend such a big local force as Qingyang Palace for Yang Yun or his master Wuzun Zhenren.
Wang Ji muttered: "Master, if you went to see the people of Qingyang Palace earlier, maybe there won't be so much to do." ”
Yang Yun said: "Could it be that if I went earlier, the people of Qingyang Palace wouldn't be embarrassed?" Don't you hear that the side of the couch will allow others to snore? ”
Wang Ji was surprised by Yang Yun's sudden words, he silently recited the sentence "How can others snore on the side of the couch" many times, and finally nodded in agreement: "What the master said is reasonable, the people of Qingyang Palace did not come to provoke because of their faces, if it was Qinghe and the like, I am afraid that they would have come to find the master to fight for a long time...... The Six Empty Sect and Taiyi Gate, who came to provoke before, are likely to be instructed by Qingyang Palace. ”
Finally, Wang Ji asked, "Will the master attend this puja?" ”
Yang Yun shook his head: "It's hard not to attend now, but the family teacher travels all over the world, and I can't control his old man's decision, I just take care of myself." ”
……
……
Yang Yun left the workshop and returned home.
When I went to the yard, I saw the slightly improved sake steamer with the addition of a stand, and I was very satisfied, and he also knew that there was not much high-level sake that needed to be brewed in the early days.
At the same time, because he does not make his own wine, if his wine sells well, he will definitely be jealous of his peers, and there will be problems with whether he can buy low-alcohol grain wine on the market.
"If you do a good job, you have to make your own sake as the demand increases." Yang Yun made up his mind in his heart.
Then he took Yaqing to the small building where he was going to open a wine shop, Uncle Qi, his father and son, and his six sons were busy, and the craftsmen were in and out.
"The owner is here? The wine rack was ready, and the potter brought two large wine jars, saying that they were set by the owner, and I don't know where to put them...... Xiaohua cleaned up the firewood room in the backyard, and the two stoves were cleaned up, but the two iron pots ordered by the owner have not been delivered yet......"
Song Qi couldn't understand why Yang Yun would order so many strange things.
In fact, the iron pot existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the people rarely used it for stir-frying.
The common people mostly use pottery kettles for home cooking, while large families use copper woks, and only iron pots are used in the army, but they are also mostly used to boil water and cook rice.
Yang Yun wants to open a wine shop, in addition to making money, the more important thing is to solve his appetite, since he has a certain family background, he doesn't need to live a poor life, of course, he must treat himself and eat something good.
It is really necessary to do it in the iron pot stir-fry, and if the vegetable oil is not temporarily replaced by lard, whether others accept it is another matter, at least eat more comfortably.
"Go and urge it, it's going to open in three days, and if it can't be completed on time, don't blame me for deducting their wages." Yang Yundao.
