Chapter 120: High Purity Wine 2
For the generals who had tasted this wine, the first thing they said after seeing Liu Fan was, "Captain Liu, that wine is really good, you see if you still have stock there, can you give me a bottle a little even." And for the generals and captains who didn't drink this wine, the first thing they said when they saw Liu Fan was, "Captain Liu is really not interesting, and he won't give my brother a bottle of brewed such a beautiful wine!" In the days after the winter solstice, Liu Fan didn't dare to show his face on the street, for fear of meeting one or two familiar generals and lieutenants.
The bottle of wine that Liu Fan gave to Doctor Ye, after Doctor Ye tried to use this wine to clean the wounds of the soldiers, thought that the disinfection effect was very good.
In such a unanimous applause, the camp immediately decided to set up a northwest camp brewery, and reported to the household department to increase large-scale brewing, with Qi Boyuan concurrently serving as the chief officer of the brewery, Liu Fan concurrently serving as the deputy director, and Liu Fan's guard captain Ma Qiang concurrently serving as the deacon, specially transferred a group of soldiers from the baggage battalion to be responsible for the brewing of high-purity wine.
Since the establishment of the brewing workshop to Liu Fan and his entourage before leaving Liangzhou, the baggage camp used five large stoves to ignite a total of three batches of steaming, before and after brewing more than 1,000 catties of liquor, for a while, there was a faint aroma of wine everywhere in the courtyard of the government office, at first a few days after the ya, accidentally could meet one or two drunk drunken soldiers, so that Guo Huaide had to issue a ban on alcohol in the barracks, 'stipulating that liquor is a military product, and it will be included in the warehouse for safekeeping after it comes out of the pot, without Qi Boyuan's instructions, Liu Fan, Ma Qiang and other related personnel are strictly prohibited from giving away or selling without permission'.
When the team participating in the military parade in the northwest camp went to the capital, Guo Huaide asked Li Shouyi to bring more than 500 catties and more than 100 jars of liquor to Li Zongxiong and the second prince in one go, and when Liu Fan and Li Min led the small team to leave the brigade, they took more than a dozen jars of liquor from Li Shouyi and brought them to the capital in advance.
At the suggestion of the third prince, everyone in the water pavilion had just drunk a lamp, and in a blink of an eye, they saw that Li Shoujing had already stepped into the gate of the water pavilion panting with four sealed wine jars, and it seemed that he had dismounted at the gate and ran all the way to this water pavilion.
Liu Fan immediately got up and took the wine jar from Shoujing's hand, and saw that Li Shoujing nodded slightly to himself, knowing that the things given to him had been done, he said with a smile, "Shoujing has worked hard, hurry up and sit down and rest for a while." "Turn around and hand over the four wine jars to Miss Qiuhua, and ask him to arrange for the maid to pour them for everyone."
After sitting down, he whispered to the third prince, "I have prepared two more altars for the prince, and I will let the guards send them to the mansion for you tonight." ”
After listening to Liu Fan's words, the third prince thought to himself, "This person is not ordinary, not only has eyes, but also does things without leakage, hehe, people can't find a reason to look at some problems in him, although after a detailed discussion with his uncle last night, he also understood that he must have a good relationship with this person, but subconsciously he still wants to make a trip for him." ”
At this time, the maid had already poured the liquor for everyone in the pavilion, and seeing that some people couldn't wait to pick up the wine cup and want to taste the new wine, Liu Fan hurriedly got up and said, "Let me remind everyone first, this wine is a bit strong, everyone should drink it slowly, and you can't drink more at another time, otherwise don't blame me for being drunk and making a fool." ”
But many people disagreed with Liu Fan's words, these sons of big families who were born with golden keys, especially the royal nobles like Huang Sheng, thought that as long as there was a fine wine in the world that could be named, there was no wine that they had not tasted, and no matter how good the wine was, they had never drunk it after drinking twenty or thirty cups, so they immediately shouted, "General Liu is worried that he has too little wine to drink for so many people, right?" ”
Seeing that his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by others, Liu Fan really had nothing to say, so he had to smile and say, "That'...... That's ......, everyone is free. ”
"That's very good, I'll do it first for respect." Under the shouting of Huang Sheng and others, everyone came and went, and drank five or six cups at once, although this wine smelled fragrant, but when the first one was down, everyone found that from the throat to the stomach as if it was burned by the flames, it was hot and hot, and it was more spicy than the garlic juice that usually ate mutton.
But these people usually pay the most attention to etiquette and face, and now they will not change their words in front of everyone even if they are forced to use knives, although several people are choked on the first sip and almost squirt out, but after swallowing it, not to mention that the wine is spicy, they immediately praised, "Liu Duwei, this wine is too delicious, I like it." ”
It was less than half an hour, and sure enough, as Liu Fan expected, more than a dozen people were drunk, Huang Sheng, Han Shuyu among the four great gentlemen, Wu Youde and others among the four great talents had already climbed on the table and found it difficult to get up.
Xu Pan first wandered around the pavilion like a headless fly, and finally remembered that his cousin was next to him, and immediately walked over to say something to Ling Han, and after being glared at by Li Min, he walked to Yuhe and wanted to be courteous to him, but he was avoided by the little girl covering his nose, and the third prince saw that Xu Pan was really a little annoying, and glanced lightly at one of the attendants standing next to him, and was immediately taken out by two guards.
Pan Dongzi held on to the railing next to the water pavilion and kept vomiting downward, scaring a few roaming goldfish in the pool into scattering and fleeing......
And there are two groups of people in the pavilion, none of them are drunk at all, except for a group of women led by Miss Qiuhua, the other is Liu Fan and his party, after Miss Qiuhua and others drank the first glass, they were immediately frightened by the taste of this wine, plus Liu Fan said first, and then he didn't dare to drink more. Among Liu Fan and his party, Li Min, Ling Han and Li Shoujing knew the details of this wine, so they only tasted it superficially, while Dong Zi, Ma Qiang, Hai Xiancun and Liu Fan did not drink less at all, but so far they have no reaction at all.
Liu Fan saw that although the third prince was a little weak, his face was only slightly red after drinking more than a dozen in a row, but he was not already drunk like Huang Sheng and others, but he had a trace of admiration for this person's drinking, and said, "The prince has a good amount of alcohol, and I respect the prince under my post." As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup and dried it up.
The third prince drank the wine and said to Liu Fan with a smile, "General Liu wants to overturn this king in three or two blows!" ”
Liu Fan touched a handful of cold sweat and said, "That's right, the prince looks at it a lot, and he admires the amount of wine that the prince has, and he can't help but want to drink a few more with the prince." ”
"Haha, I also have this idea, it's better to be like this, it's past noon today, we have been bothering everyone here in Qiuhua for a long time, I heard that the plum blossoms in the Piaoxiang Courtyard have also bloomed very well in the past two days, and the cold fish in the Piaoxiang Courtyard is a must-have in Beijing, in the afternoon, the king will do the east, please the general and his entourage, cousin and Hou Gongzi, Xu Gongzi and others move to the Piaoxiang Courtyard, we chant poetry and drink, enjoy the plum and eat the fish, isn't it happy?"
After listening to the suggestion of the third prince, Miss Qiuhua quickly got up and said, "Does the prince think that the concubine is not well entertained?" How do you want to change places? Although she said this, she already understood in her heart that the three princes rarely patronize this group of Fang Pavilions, and today it seems that they are chasing Liu Fan, but she knows that the other Qinglou Chu Pavilion in the capital, these three princes have not gone less, and they have learned from very secret channels that he is not only hot with his good friend, the narcissus of Huancai Building, but also has something to do with the girls in Piaoxiang Courtyard and Maihua Pavilion, just now I glanced at the suggestion that the third prince just finished talking about going to Piaoxiang Courtyard, Yunshen girl immediately blushed, and the woman told her directly, Most of this Yunshen girl has a story with the third prince.
"Miss Qiuhua, please don't worry too much, I'm just going to do my best as a landlord, and invite General Liu and his entourage to eat a special snack in Beijing, cold fish, not to mention that many people have been drunk, and serving these people will cost a lot of time to go to Qunfang Pavilion and Qiuhua Girl, and it will not be too late for us to get together in Qunfang Pavilion another day."
"Oh, then invite the prince, General Liu and all the sons to come to Qunfang Pavilion another day, what is wrong with today's hospitality, please bear with me." After saying that, he bowed to everyone, and quietly threw an apologetic glance at Liu Fan.
