Volume 1: Luoyang in the Troubled Times Chapter 31 On Talent and Wine Tasting (8)

Where chess is played

At this time, it is a critical moment, the chessboard is staggered, black and white are chaotic, you have me, I have you.

I saw one of them pick up a sunspot and make a "click", and the other immediately stared at the chessboard.

"Ceded"

The person holding the sunspot took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his head, and arched his hand to the person opposite and said.

"Brother Tai is good at chess, but he lost in the game"

The person on the other side can afford to lose, although he is decadent for a while, but he immediately cheers up.

At this moment, Cai Yong walked over with a smile on his face

"Congratulations to the virtuous nephew, this chess way is the virtuous nephew, what is the name of the virtuous nephew?"

When the man saw Cai Yong coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully.

"The younger Du Yong and Du Zizhong have seen Cai Gong."

"Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite"

Then Cai Yong announced to everyone

"Today's chess is one of the ways, and Du Yong and Du Zizhong are respected."

"Congratulations to the middle brother"

The crowd congratulated him.

By this time, it had reached midday, and it was indeed noon.

Li Zhi looked up at the sun in the sky and beckoned to Guo De in the distance.

Guo De saw him greeting him, so he trotted all the way over

"What did the master command?"

"Go and bring the prepared canopy to the shelf, don't burn everyone."

"Whoa"

Guo De answered, and led some servants to erect hundreds of canopies behind everyone one by one.

After the canopy was erected, Li Zhi stood in front of the stage and cleared his throat

"Everyone, listen to the next word"

After everyone quieted down, Li Zhi continued

"When I went into the mountains to play, because of insufficient preparation, I was hungry and thirsty, and suddenly smelled a burst of wine."

Hearing him say this, everyone was very curious, and they all looked at him intently.

"Following the smell of wine, I saw a man in the middle of the mountains, and there was an old man in this house, who was drinking.

The old man was very hospitable, and when he saw a certain coming, he was hungry and thirsty, so he invited him to drink together.

This wine is as clear as water, but the aroma of the wine is overflowing, and when it comes out of the mountain, the old man will hand over this method to the next.

This immortal brew in the world, I don't dare to enjoy it privately, so I invite you to come and taste it.

However, this wine is very strong, so when you taste it, be careful, don't get drunk."

Speaking of this, Li Zhizheng said to everyone with a straight expression

"If any brother can drink a jar of wine and not get drunk, all the wine that he has drunk all his life will be provided below."

"Is this true?"

At this time, Lu Zhi was on the side, looked at him with a smile and said

"Where does Lu Gong say, he will never regret his promise in the next one"

Li Zhi hurriedly assured Lu Zhi, his eyes full of seriousness

When Lu Zhi heard this, he joked with Li Zhi with a smile on his face

"Such an old man's wine in the future, please leave it to the virtuous nephew"

"Where does Lu Gong say, if Lu Gong likes it, no matter whether Lu Gong can drink it or not, Lu Gong's wine will be supplied by him in the future."

When Lu Zhi heard this, he smiled, shook his head and stopped talking.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zhi looked at everyone again, he opened the folding fan and fanned it twice, then closed the folding fan and tapped his other hand

"Then I will say no more, and I will see whether I believe it or not, and I will see it when I drink."

"Someone to drink!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Yuan Shu and smiled evilly.

"Add an extra altar to Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongzi, Yuan Gongzi, haven't you forgotten the bet between us and others, right?"

"Humph!"

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and looked at him with disdain on his face

"I don't dare to say ten percent of the wine, but nine out of nine have drunk it, how can a jar of wine be enough?"

"So Very Good"

Li Zhiyan nodded, looked at him playfully, stepped forward, and personally opened the wine jar for him.

In an instant, the smell of wine filled the surroundings.

"Highway brother, please..."

Li Zhi took the folded folding fan, looked at Yuan Shu with a smile, led the hand, and invited the wine.

Yuan Shu glanced at him with a pale face, and then picked up the wine jar and drank wildly.

"Poof...... cough cough cough ......"

After only taking a big sip, he squirted the wine in one gulp, and coughed wildly, and his face turned red for a while.

"Why doesn't Brother Highway drink alcohol, can't you drink it after only taking a sip of this altar?"

Li Zhi looked at Yuan Shu playfully and quipped.

At this time, Yuan Shu also calmed down, looked at Li Zhi with a pale face, and finally gritted his teeth and picked up the wine jar again.

"Hmmm......"

As if enduring such a great pain, Yuan Shu's brain was exposed, but he was still drinking.

Li Zhi saw him drinking frantically, and his face gradually became solemn.

"Bang Dang ......"

Yuan Shu finally finished drinking the wine at this time, and looked at him with red eyes

"Some... I drank it, but I didn't... Not drunk...... Thou ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he fell headlong to the ground.

At this moment, Yuan Shao walked over, picked up Yuan Shu and beckoned to his own servant in the distance, asking him to send Yuan Shu home.

"The younger brother is messing around, so that the virtuous brother of the line laughs,

When he wakes up on the highway tomorrow, he will come to apologize to the virtuous brother and make a full bet."

Li Zhiyan shook his head when he heard this

"Today is just a joke, you don't have to take it seriously, and the gambling contract is even more nonsense.

If I wait for the bet to be a winner, it will be a tie."

Yuan Shao bowed his hand to Li Zhi when he heard this

"The virtuous brother is generous, and I admire it."

Li Zhi shook his head and didn't reply, looking at Yuan Shu who was boarded in the carriage in a daze, and felt quite emotional in his heart

"Sure enough, none of the children of this group of families are simple.

Yuan Shu knew that he couldn't drink it today, so he tried his best to drink, for fear that he would lose face for himself.

Sure enough, the family values face more than life."

Just when he was thinking about these things, everyone had already filled up the wine, and Lu Zhi picked up the wine cup, stood up and walked to the front of the stage.

"It is a great joy that all the talents gathered here today, and now it is a great joy that several talents have been selected.

Now that double happiness is coming, we will drink a cup for this, all the virtuous nephews... Drink the Saint"

Everyone stood up with the wine cup and faced the four people on the stage in unison

"I salute the four elders with one lamp"

After saying that, everyone drank it all

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

After drinking, the sound of coughing filled the entire venue, one after another.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"How can the wine made by my brother be drunk like this, so that you can't wait to listen to your brother's good words."

Guo Jia was on the side, smiling like a little mouse that had stolen cheese, and drank the wine in the cup slowly.

"Virtuous Brother Prudent Words"

Xi Zhicai sat beside him, pulled his sleeve, and scolded in a low voice

Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and continued to bow his head and drink indifferently.

"What a strong wine!"

Lu Zhi's face was flushed at this time, and his beard and hair were all open, and he shouted

"This is the wine that the husband should drink, and all the old husbands drank in the past was swill!"

Yang Qiu also nodded when he heard this

"What Brother Zi said is very true, this wine is very strong, but it is the best drink for the eldest husband.

No wonder the virtuous nephew of Xingzhi said to us before that we should taste this wine slowly, this wine is indeed not easy to drink. ”

"Goodness"

Cai Yong and both of them are good.

Lu Zhi nodded at this time, stood up and walked to the front of the stage and said to everyone

"This wine is very strong.

Virtuous nephews, if you don't want to participate in the wine competition, you can do it according to the amount of alcohol you drink.

And those who participate in the competition must be one to one, not too much or too little.

Do you ever understand that you are supervising each other?

If you understand, the more skilled person can get up. ”

"Boom la la ......"

As soon as Lu Zhi's words fell, there was an uproar on the field, and eighty percent of the people present stood up.

It can be seen that most of you in the audience are here today mainly to taste the wine.
