Chapter 139: Zuo Feng who was scared
"Left Yellow Gate, take the liberty to disturb, there is a lot of disturbance." Soon after dinner that day, Liu Tao visited Zuo Feng, who was above board and had no intention of sneaking around.
With his identity, it is best to be above board, and it is best to reach Lu Zhi's ears immediately.
"This general is ......" Zuo Feng saw Liu Tao for the first time, and he didn't see Lu Zhi by his side earlier, so he was inevitably a little confused.
His voice did not have the feeling of a male duck's throat that a eunuch should have, nor did it have a very sharp appearance. The middle qi is very sufficient, three points are condescending, three points are hesitant, three points are grasping, and there is still a point of lack of confidence.
It gives people the feeling that this is the first time he has gone out of the palace to inspect on behalf of Emperor Han. Even if the identity is not ordinary, even if there is the support of the ten permanent servants behind him, he is also a little hesitant about Liu Tao's identity, but it reveals a jerky feeling.
"I am under the command of General Beizhonglang, Sima Liu Tao of the other department." Liu Tao introduced himself, and the other party did not underestimate himself because he was a Sima of another department, after all, this position is not low.
"Liu Sima came this time, why did he come here?" Zuo Feng said slowly, with a three-point attitude.
"Actually, I am King Jing of Zhongshan, a relative of the Han family, a descendant of the Liu family of Zhuojun, and my name is on the Han family tree." Liu Tao further introduced himself.
"Eh, yes, it turns out that I am still a member of the Han family, disrespectful, disrespectful." At this time, Zuo Feng's attitude was slightly better, with three points of closeness, but at the same time with confusion and a bit of ridicule.
The Eastern Han Dynasty also canonized the king of Zhongshan, the original king of Zhongshan was Liu Mao, who reigned for eight years and was demoted to the marquis of a single father; Later, Liu Xiu and Liu Fu, the second son of Empress Guo, was also named King of Zhongshan, and was renamed King Pei after reigning for three years.
After that, Liu Yan, the youngest son of Empress Guo, was named the king of Zhongshan, until recent years, his great-grandson Liu Zhi had no queen, and the country was removed.
In other words, even Liu Mao, a relative of the Western Han Dynasty, had difficulty becoming a king in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, if Liu Tao hadn't emphasized that his name was on the genealogy, I was afraid that Zuo Feng would scoff at him.
"Where is it, Zuo Huangmen came to inspect for His Majesty, and it is not easy to be tired." Liu Tao smiled slightly, "It's just that Tao has one thing, I'm afraid I want to bother Zuo Huangmen and do me a small favor." ”
"Oh, tell me about it?" Zuo Feng raised his eyebrows, and said that he still plans to give money, right? Just give it directly, why talk so much nonsense?
"I have a batch of local products, a batch of wine, and I plan to present it to His Majesty, which can be regarded as a greeting from the Zhuoxian clan relatives to him." Liu Tao looked at his faintly smug look and said directly.
Really, at this moment, Zuo Feng's whole person seemed to be choked, and he couldn't react.
The reaction is like: Lao Tzu wants to collect money, but you want Lao Tzu to do something for you?!
"In order to let Zuo Huangmen have a bottom in his heart, I brought two bottles of sample wine, and asked Zuo Huangmen to taste it." Liu Tao raised his hand, and two bottles of wine in exquisite clay bottles were revealed.
Zuo Feng couldn't see anything else, so he said that this pottery bottle was a little interesting, and the three words of Jiuxian brewing on the key were the first to give him, which was: What a big breath!
But because of this, I was very curious about its taste, so I didn't say anything, let Liu Tao open a bottle of sealing mud, and then poured a cup for him.
Before drinking, Liu Tao had to say: "This wine is much stronger than ordinary wine, and the first sip should be lighter." ”
Zuo Feng is in the palace, but in fact, there are not many opportunities to drink. If you have a little money, you have to be filial to the ten permanent servants, how can you have extra money to buy wine? Although he didn't drink much, he was very familiar with wine, after all, this was also a skill that Huangmen should have.
I asked, and the mellow smell rushed from the nasal cavity to the cerebral marrow, which made people fascinated. So I took a sip, it was indeed very strong, but as the mouth adapted, I took a shallow sip, and the fragrance continued to stimulate the taste buds, mellow and luscious, full of charm.
"Good wine!" Zuo Feng immediately praised.
"Zuo Huangmen doesn't know, this wine fairy wine, cellared for three months, is sold for ten times a bottle in Zhuojun, and it is rare and expensive. And this batch of wine, the date of storage, is engraved on the bottle with ......," Liu Tao reminded.
When the latter heard this, he immediately picked up the wine bottle, and the time was July last year. This means that this wine is actually already October.
Having said that, transportation and cellaring are two different concepts, but the real baijiu does get more fragrant the longer it lasts.
Having said that, the memories that have been recalled recently are generally best between 5 and 25 years of cellaring for the strong flavor type and the sauce flavor type. The fragrant type will be almost drunk in five years at most, and the taste will not only not get better, but may gradually decline.
Ten months, just to make the fire not so strong, far from being called a 'superb'. But then again, five years of cellaring, unless the kind of industry that forms a brand and brews in large quantities, five years is really a long time.
At this stage, in addition to deducting the fact that the fire is not so strong, the key is perfumery, this field is what Zhang Feijia is good at, and in this regard, Liu Tao can't even interject.
At this moment, Zuo Feng thought of something else, that is, the cellar is ten times in March, and how many times is it in October? One bottle is less than twenty times, right? These two bottles are actually worth forty times? Wait, I won't drink a few hundred wen in this sip, right?!
"Liu has prepared two truckloads of such 'native products', one car has 100 bottles. One of the carts is for Your Majesty, which is a little bit of gratitude from my clan relatives. In addition, I also asked my father-in-law to share it with all the attendants, thanking them for taking care of His Majesty for many years. Liu Tao said with a sincere look.
"This ...... How does this make ......" Zuo Feng was a little embarrassed, a car is calculated according to twenty guan and one bottle, which is two thousand guan, and if he divides it, he can at least get a few hundred guan.
Originally, I came to inspect it, thinking that I could harvest dozens or hundreds of pieces, which was already very good...... For a moment, I was a little overwhelmed.
"Also...... Let Zuo Huangmen help, I'm a little reluctant to go......" Liu Tao immediately beckoned, and there was a person outside the door, bringing a small box, "A little heart, it is regarded as Zuo Huangmen's carriage and horse money." ”
Seeing this, Zuo Feng just nodded, how many five baht can be held in such a small box...... it! I was opening the box at random, but I was blinded by the shining gold inside, how many times does this box count?
His breathing accelerated, his brain went blank, and he was now more afraid, yes, scared, terrible!
He was just going to come over and get some extra money, and he even thought about it, it would be good to have fifty! As a result, he came so much in one breath, but he was a little cowardly. It's true to be greedy for money, but there has always been a saying in the palace: If you have a life to take money, I'm afraid you won't have a life to spend it!
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" Zuo Feng hurriedly shirked it, as if this was not gold, but a very terrifying existence.
can make a yellow door who has just come to ask for bribes, and directly refuse to accept money, to be honest, Liu Tao was stunned for a moment. only to realize that this guy really hasn't seen much of the world, and this money scared me.
It seems that he has to get down to business first, otherwise he won't dare to take money for whatever he says......
