Volume 1 Yang Kanto Go Chapter 14 Inauguration Celebration

Five roasted whole camels have been prepared, hanging in rows on a makeshift wooden frame in the backyard, exuding an enticing fragrance.

Skins and clay pots filled with Loulan grape wine, Shule mare's milk wine, and Han sake are piled up in the middle of the yard to feed the livestock.

On the edge of the mill on the shore of Qingfengze, the huge bluestone grinding plate has become a cutting board for ingredients, and the freshly baked naan is also piled up like a hill.

It seems that in order to celebrate the completion of the inn, Grandpa rewarded all the craftsmen, guests, and brothers of Murong Villa, and he did not hesitate to invest his blood.

The fierce folk customs of the Western Regions lacked some hypocritical politeness in the Han banquet, and all the people picked up the wooden bowls containing wine, took out their own knives and forks, and went straight to the theme of eating and drinking.

And the most precious guests of this banquet were the whole family of Lord Murong Qiu and other relatives of the Murong family in Khotan.

They also retained Hermes-Epitek's original habit of sitting on the side of the table to eat, so the Murong sisters, who were the planners and hosts of the entire banquet, specially set up a few tables in the spacious business hall to entertain their guests.

When Grandpa and Lu Yu toasted all the way from the yard to the front hall, they were already drinking a little and sticking out their tongues.

"Uncle Shi, come! Let's have a drink! Without your old help, I would not be where I am today! ”

"Drinking comes a long way, hehe! Linfeng Lu Yu, the inn has been completed today, have you two thought of the name of this inn? Do you still use the name of the old store in Geumjo-gun? ”

Master Murong Qiu already regarded the two of them as his quasi-sons-in-law, so he was worried about everything.

If it weren't for his mastery behind the scenes, the construction of the inn would not have gone so smoothly at all.

"This junior is not easy to decide, and I have to ask you to decide."

Although Grandpa's wine was excessive, his head was still quite clear, and he knew that Master Murong Qiu, Lord Taishan, had already set things up.

So for things like naming the inn, let such elders make the decision, which can be regarded as the best respect.

"This, the old man has already thought about it for you! Bring pen and paper! ”

Master Murong Qiu stood up and rolled up his sleeves with a smile, with a great posture of splashing ink.

The surrounding guests all came forward curiously, wanting to witness the paper kung fu of this jade master.

"Lu Yu, go and carry our plaque! Uncle Shi, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day! Write directly on the signboard, and our store will be unveiled today! It's up to you to host! ”

Grandpa turned around and happily instructed Lu Yu, while respectfully having a drink with Master Murong.

As he spoke, Lu Yu had already taken two of his fellows and carried over a slender and atmospheric poplar vermilion lacquer plaque.

"Linfeng, I thought about it, although the old store of the Yi family in Jincheng County is famous, time has passed, and it is in the hinterland of the Western Regions. Continuing to use the signboard of this old store, the old man always felt that the time and place were not suitable. ”

Master Murong Qiu thoughtfully dipped the wolf on the prepared inkstone, and said calmly to his grandfather.

"What kind of signboard is Uncle Shi going to give to the shop?" Grandpa asked curiously.

"Your store is now backed by the Great Lake Fuze and facing the eternal trade road. I had previously investigated with the Kanyu master of Zanmo Temple, and they all said that this place is open and closed, and it is a feng shui treasure place for opening shops and merchants and serving the world's merchants and monks. ”

"I understand what Uncle Shi means, it is naturally a treasure of feng shui, and we have to use up the convenience of this location, I don't know if my guess is right."

Grandpa and Lu Yu carefully held the plaque, waiting for Master Murong Qiu to put down the pen.

This is exactly what the old man meant, and the world's business travelers have traveled thousands of miles through Khotan, most of them are coming to the living water of the Qingfengze Lake. Therefore, the inn is named Qingfengze! Water generates wealth, and water is wealth! Hehe! ”

Master Murong Qiu replied with a smile, while holding the inkstone, standing in front of the plaque, and leaving three strong official letters of "Qingfeng Ze" in one go. Then he wrote the name of the shop in Tocharian in a small seal below it.

"Good! Good! ”

The scene was applauded, and the name of the store "Qingfengze" was very bright.

The breeze slowly comes to welcome the world's guests, and the wealth is widely advanced to form the world's fate.

With a stroke of the pen of my great-grandfather Murong Qiu, we laid the foundation of our Yi clan of Jincheng County in the Western Regions and Khotan's century-old foundation and smooth sailing.

While speaking, Grandpa had already instructed Lu Yu and the others to set up a ladder outside the door of the main hall of the inn and hang the signboard high.

On the trade route on the edge of the desert, you can see this striking sign a mile away, and then the strong aroma of wheat naan and barbecued meat.

"Two sisters, our store is still a few wine flags away from welcoming customers, so please leave it to the two."

The two sisters, Murong Qionglin and Yaobi, were hugging Master Murong Qiu and Old Lady Murong at this time, holding their heads up curiously admiring the listing ceremony of this Han Inn.

Grandpa smiled at the two girls and bowed slightly.

"This is easy to do, you draw a rough copy of the wine flag for me, we will take it back to catch up with some work, and we can send it to you tomorrow." Murong Qionglin looked at her grandfather and smiled, her attention seemed to be still on the vermilion poplar plaque.

"Yi Gongzi, my sister's embroidery is never shown, and you, the new wealthyman, have to pay for it."

Murong Yaobi looked at her future brother-in-law and joked happily.

"It should be, how about ten gold shots?" Grandpa knew that the other party was joking, and deliberately drilled into the sleeve, he wanted to see Murong Qionglin's reaction.

"Yi Dongjia, if you are really willing to pay this price, Miss Ben will really laugh at it! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple, seven-pole wine flag, seventy gold, your manly husband and gentleman are hard to chase, and there will be no one less when the delivery is made tomorrow! ”

Only then did Murong Qionglin turn her face and smile evilly at her grandfather, and the strength of the woman in the Western Regions suddenly came up.

"Don't joke with your brother, Linfeng, don't listen to their nonsense!" The old woman Murong patted the two girls with a feather fan and smiled.

And Master Murong Qiu seemed to be still immersed in his own works, and he didn't notice the jokes of the girls next to him.

Grandpa hurriedly took advantage of the situation to drag Lu Yu, bowed deeply to the old woman Murong, and went to beckon the guests to continue to drink wine and eat meat in large bowls.

Seventy gold to buy seven wine flags, before the opening of the business, took a lossless deal, the omen is not good.

If you don't slip now, when will you wait?

The Murong sisters did not break their promise, and at dusk on the second day, the various wine flags embroidered with the words "Qingfengze" were already fluttering on the high platform at the four corners of the inn against the evening breeze blowing from the big lake.

In early autumn, the reeds on the lakeside have begun to spit and fly, and the surrounding poplar forests have become a sea of gold.

In this context, the wine flags made of these brocades in the high places are particularly eye-catching, and have become one of the most obvious signs that distinguish the inn from other places.

And, of course, the sound of the cooping windmills in the lakeside mill, and the lonely smoke that lingers almost all day long in the sky.

All of this makes this inn on the edge of the Huanglong Sand Sea full of the smell of fireworks in the world.

Later, those merchants and monks from all over the world who had been exhausted on the long trade road took the "Qingfengze" inn as a warm and unforgettable home on the way through their lives.
