Chapter 36: Give it a good time
"Phew! The guys with the fifth surname are too shameless. Cheng Yanjin scolded in Qin Qiong's mansion in Chang'an.
Qin Qiong drank the wine and said, "Old man Cheng, don't be impatient. ”
"How can you be restless?"
Cheng Yanjin was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and said: "At the beginning, you Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao were the first to find Li Zheng, and no one looked down on Li Zheng at that time, you said that now Li Zheng is famous, why did these five surnames look for it when they smell fishy." ”
"It's not necessarily that Li Zheng will go with them, so don't be too anxious." Right Martial Commander Wei Chi Gong also comforted.
"Not really? You didn't see the faces of the five surnames, and even your daughter was willing to sell it. ”
Cheng Yanjin was indignant, how many years have he not met a talent, but he can't lose it.
Everyone present was the same, and to put it bluntly, I was really worried that Li Zheng would follow the people with the fifth surname.
The fame of the five surnames in Guanzhong is too great, the hundred-year-old family, Xingyang Zheng, Fanyang Lu, Qinghe Cui, Zhaojun Li, Taiyuan Wang.
These big families have deep roots, and they almost include scholars all over the world under their families and even their side lines.
It has always been the object of Li Shimin's jealousy.
Guanzhong is even more popular, heroes and heroes should marry women with five surnames, and it is rumored that the ambition of men: Jin Shi is promoted, marrying five surnames, and cultivating the history of the country.
How many scholars looked at the women in the five clans.
The status of the five surnames can be seen.
The status of women with five surnames is the hope in the hearts of men in the Tang Dynasty, and during the Sui Dynasty, the princess who married was also disliked by the five surnames.
Many times they don't even take Li Shimin seriously.
Seven or eight out of ten scholars in the world come from five surnames.
How many officials in the DPRK and China are the eyeliner of the five surnames.
Many people are not blind, and the discerning can see it.
Li Shimin has long wanted to attack them, but he has never been able to find a chance.
The status of the five surnames is too high, which is not a good thing for the royal family.
The invitation of the five surnames spread throughout Chang'an.
It is rare for a family with five surnames to take the initiative to tie up a person.
This time, the entire Chang'an was waiting for Li Zheng's reaction.
Jingyang County
On the first day of the invitation of the five surnames, Cheng Chumo asked others to send all the things that Li Zheng wanted to the village.
Cheng Chumo also made a generous move, and gave more than 50 pigs at once.
He handed over the pigs to the aunts in the village to raise, and handed over the five thousand to his father.
A wagon of aging, one jar on top of another, in a wagon.
said that the fifty catties of aging wine, Cheng Chumo was a carriage as soon as he made a move.
"It seems that the Cheng family is very rich." Li Zheng secretly thought in his heart, it's a loss! The money is going to be less.
In the future, the people of our village will not have to worry about running out of meat to eat, and they will not have to go to the mountains and forests to hunt for a mouthful of meat.
He killed one on the spot and gave meat to the children of the village.
So much so that in response to the five surnames, the sound of killing pigs resounded outside the village.
Many people don't understand, what does this pig killing sound mean?
Could it be that the sound of killing pigs is what Li Zheng is hinting at?
Wait and wait......
Some people even simply live outside Jingyang Village.
Li Zheng, who was busy working in the village, found two cauldrons at the village chief's house to use to distill the liquor.
"Zheng'er, what do you want this pot to do?" The old village chief asked with a smile.
"For distilling water, just as if I'm making wine." Li Zheng said.
"Zheng'er, if you really have the ability, you can make wine."
The old village chief smiled and nodded, "When you grow up, you will be knowledgeable and will make wine." ”
The old village chief is over eighty years old, and he is the birthday boy of the village, and he can still walk a few steps with a cane.
First, pour the aging wine sent by Cheng Chumo into the pot and make a fire underneath.
Then knock out a small hole in another pot and insert it horizontally into a bamboo knot in the middle of the air to seal the gap.
The boiling point of the wine is very low, only in the seventy degrees.
It vaporizes more easily than water, and by boiling, the sake and water are separated, and the vaporized sake condenses into water droplets that flow down the arched lid and then through the bamboo joints.
A little more than an hour later, the small half bowl is already available.
Li Yifu reported to Li Zhenglai about the situation of rebuilding the village, and asked curiously: "Jingyang Ling, what are you doing here?" ”
"Winemaking."
"How can there be such a wine."
handed the small half bowl of distilled liquor to Li Yifu, "You taste it." ”
After taking the wine, Li Yifu sniffed it first, glanced at Li Zheng's face, and no longer wanted to drink it in one sip.
This choked him and coughed, and it took him a while to regain his strength.
"What a strong drink."
Seeing that Li Yifu's cheeks were flushed, he suddenly reached his neck, and he only took two steps before falling to the ground.
Only then did Li Zheng remember that the first oral liquor of this distilled liquor was the strongest, and the degree was about the same as alcohol.
"Mistaken."
Look at the unconscious Li Yifu.
"Hope it's okay."
……
On the first day of the invitation issued by the five surnames, Li was making wine......
The day after the five surnames sent out the invitation, Li Zheng was still making wine......
On the third day of the invitation issued by the five surnames, Li Zheng continued to make wine......
On the fourth day, the people outside couldn't wait.
"What does this Li Zheng mean, he has never given an answer."
Some people are looking forward to it, and some people are squatting outside the village in Jingyang County to get first-hand information.
The entire Jingyang County is the same as usual, there are more than a dozen strong men standing at the entrance of the village, and they are also leading six half-human-tall pastoral dogs with fierce faces.
The people with the five surnames kept shouting outside the village to the village, three times in the morning, noon and evening, for fear that Li Zheng would not hear it.
Day 5......
Cheng Yanjin couldn't help it, "What does this Li Zheng mean!" If you want to kill or give a good time, the old man came to the door to reason with this kid. ”
"Calm down, calm down." Wei Chigong stopped Cheng Biting Jin.
"How can you let Cheng someone calm down, this Li Zheng has been delayed in giving a word, is it really impossible to go with the fifth surname?"
"If you are really so murderous and find Li Zheng, if you offend Li Zheng, you will fall into the hands of the five surnames." Before Qin Qiong finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin had already gone out with the Xuanhua axe.
Qin Qiong covered her forehead in pain, "This Cheng bites Jin's violent temper, which is pure chaos." ”
"Cheng Yanjin looks like the five big and three are rough and short-tempered, but he is actually very delicate." Wei Chigong comforted: "Don't worry, he won't stab Lou Zi." ”
Li is a good seedling, Qin Qiong understands in her heart that if Li Zheng follows the five surnames, there will be one less such writer for Datang.
Once the five surnames got Li Zheng, they must have tried to make Li Zheng completely loyal to the five surnames.
What Li Shimin is most worried about is that the world's scholars only know the five surnames, but they don't know the Tang Emperor.
If Li Zheng and the five surnames stand together, it will be a huge blow to Li Tangjiangshan, who has finally gained a foothold.
From now on, the prestige of the five surnames in Guanzhong will be greater.
This is also the reason why the five surnames took out tens of thousands of silver coins and thousands of fertile fields at any cost, and even the eldest daughter of the clan was willing to take it out.
Qin Qiong stood up and said, "The old man is going to meet Your Majesty, don't let Li Zheng and the five surnames stand together." ”
