The small restaurant named Zuixian Building, after such a dozen advertisements in the Lion Building, the business is surprisingly good, distilled liquor is really a new thing at this time, its taste is indeed much better than ordinary rice wine, the quality is here, plus their own publicity is effective, the business will naturally flourish.

However, this is busy Xu Dashan's family, several large jars of wine were sold out at once, and at the same time, the money spent in vain is also constantly flowing in, where have they seen so much money, where do they want to make money is so simple, Yibo is not a stingy person, their family's life has naturally undergone earth-shaking changes.

The change in life makes them even more motivated, but despite their hard work, the production of distilled liquor must go through a not short process, which is not something that can be achieved overnight, although the price of liquor is very expensive, but there are more wealthy people in Chang'an City, so the wine is still in short supply. After all, Xu Dashan felt that he couldn't be busy, and asked Yibo if he could bring his relatives in his hometown to help produce distilled spirits, but Yibo refused.

The reason is very simple, this is a matter of confidentiality, as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and now it is Xu Dashan's family, remembering their own words, so they did not publicize this, but if, plus some relatives or something, their own confidentiality requirements will be greatly reduced. Although I didn't want to keep this skill as my own and keep it secret, in fact, it was impossible to do it at all, and the distillation technique was not complicated, and it was possible for someone to understand it according to their own sake and if they tried to do it. What I can do is that I can accumulate some more capital for myself under the scope of this skill.

As for the issue of raising prices and expanding production, I did not consider it, and there will inevitably be a rebound in price increases; Xu Dashan's family has no experience in doing business, and I want to talk to them about the way of doing business, and with their background and knowledge level, it is difficult to have any effect. If you invite someone, the selection is very difficult, at this time there is no professional talent to say, and the other person is unpredictable, asking outsiders to keep it secret is a big problem after all, if it is leaked out, their profit cycle will become shorter. Then, if you do it yourself, you will waste time and energy, and the gains will outweigh the losses in this peaceful and prosperous world. There are more problems with expanding production, supply, manpower, space, etc. Moreover, this restaurant industry, fixed assets, two years later, the war will be difficult to guarantee, and all I can take away is gold and silver.

The sky-high price of one or two silver and one or two wines, this business will not last long, people's curiosity will fade, and there will be fewer people who buy it. Moreover, opening your own restaurant is not all about making money, there are other purposes. The price of wine is so high, although it can bring you good profits, but it will also discourage many people, including some people with insight. These friends in Chang'an have some influence now, but they don't have any real skills. On this day, Yi Bo came to the restaurant with a small cigarette. Seeing that the front of the restaurant was empty, there was only a signboard with a big wine word dancing in the wind, and felt that there was no feature and attraction at all, so he had a whim, and said to Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyan, bring a pen and paper, the young master wants to write a poem for this restaurant......" Xiaoyan looked at Yi Bo with a strange expression, "Young master, you didn't drink much just now, why are you drunk......

Yi Bo patted her leaning little head: "The young master is sober, the spring of thought is surging, this inspiration is overflowing, if you don't write a poem, how can you live up to this great opportunity...... Don't look at it, go quickly, young master, I'm a forgetful person, if I don't remember to go, take you and ask ...... "In order to avoid needless damage, Xiaoyan still quickly found the four treasures of the study, Yi Bo looked at the ink, paper and inkstone, and was a little stunned, is this brush word...... It seems a little reluctant.

Falling in Xiaoyan's eyes, this young master doesn't know which tendon is wrong today, I haven't seen the young master practice pen in Linchi in normal times, sure enough, after she saw Yi Bo write a few words, she stopped the pen, she looked at the words on the paper, it was really good, the feeling of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, but what kind of text is this. Yi Bo wiped his sweat and realized the problem after writing down a few words, but he still asked knowingly: "Xiaoyan, do you know these words......" Xiaoyan shook his head, a little embarrassed: "Xiaoyan doesn't know much literacy, so I don't know any of the words written by the young master......"

Yi Bo was slightly amused, even if the great Confucian scholar of the Hanlin Academy came, he probably didn't know these words of his own, because he wrote simplified characters. For traditional Chinese characters, classical Chinese, because it is a liberal arts background, so it can still be read and understood, but if you want to write a hand of traditional Chinese characters, now I am still not very good at it, I wanted to write a poem for this restaurant, but now it seems that it will not work. Now in the case that he has no evil to supplement the traditional Chinese characters, he can only find someone to write on his behalf, his father Wei Luan has a lot of research on calligraphy, but this thing of writing a signboard, go to his father, it is estimated that his father will disdain it, and he will inevitably suffer a reprimand for not doing his job.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were naturally some calligraphy and painting shops, which included some calligraphy and painting works that were circulated nowadays, and then sold them to those high-ranking officials and nobles. There are calligraphy and painting shops, of course, there are also writers, in ancient times, ordinary people, many of them did not know much words, but in addition to their own names and some daily words, but, litigation copywriting and a series of things, and can not help but deal with words. Therefore, at this time, some talented scholars, when they are poor, will also sell and write and copy books for a living, of course, this is a helpless move, unless it is a last resort, generally these meritorious literati will not do this kind of self-destructive thing.

Yi Bo took a small cigarette and found this calligraphy and painting shop called Xiao Yaxuan, but it is really a store as its name, a small square room, all kinds of calligraphy and paintings are neatly arranged, although the store furnishings are simple, but it does not lose its style, it looks fresh and elegant, reflecting the good intentions of the owner. Yi Bo looked at this arrangement, nodded, it seems that the shopkeeper is also an elegant person, looking at it like this, a young scholar, plain clothes and scarves came over: "This son, are you here to buy calligraphy and paintings......

Yi Bo shook his head and said: "It's not to buy calligraphy and paintings, but to ask someone to write a poem on the signboard, I don't know if you can ghostwrite for it......" The young scholar immediately became interested: "If you want to write, you really have found the right person, no, I have been practicing calligraphy for many years, but I have delayed the imperial examination, but I still have a little success in this word, write it, I will definitely satisfy the child, if you are not satisfied, I will not take your money......" Looking at this young scholar, he looked at the young scholar with a look of eagerness to try, Yi Bo also put his mind at ease, "In this way, then it will be troublesome...... The young scholar hurriedly found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the room, and in order to prove his calligraphy skills, he brought a work of his own, "The three watches are lit up and the five watches are the time when the boy is studying." The black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late. ”

Yi Bo read it again, and couldn't help but say softly, how can this poem be so familiar. "Dare to ask, is this poem your own......" Yi Bo asked the question in his heart. The young scholar scratched his head a little embarrassed: "This, I can't write this poem, it's my copying of the master's work......" Xiaoyan looked at the poem, she didn't know much literacy, and she only knew a few words, so she didn't focus on the poem itself, but found something else, and muttered in a low voice: "Strange, how do I feel, this handwriting is somewhat similar to what the young master wrote......" As soon as these words came out, the young scholar also questioned: "It turns out that the son is also a person who is successful in calligraphy, but the words of the family teacher have their own lineage, There are still some differences with the rest of the characters, how can Childe's words be similar...... I'm afraid this girl is wrong......" Xiaoyan still insisted: "I look at it, it's obviously very similar......"

The young scholar was even more suspicious: "Then please ask the son to write a word or two, then it will be clear at a glance...... "Xiaoyan, this girl, really doesn't save herself trouble, maybe she is really a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear, what I just paid attention to is the gist of the poem, and now I pay attention to this word, I really feel a little familiar." Since everyone else has asked for this, Yi Bo is not easy to shirk, holding a pen and scribbling on the side, slowly writing down the word "smoke", this traditional Chinese character, it is really difficult to write. The young scholar, looking at this cigarette word, couldn't help but nodded: "Childe's words are actually good, but there may still be a slight lack of heat, the master once said that if there is any 'secret' to learning calligraphy, that is, study hard and practice hard." Remember, if you don't work hard, you won't achieve anything...... which is a kind of admonition to practice more. However, I used to be a hobby, and I didn't study this calligraphy. Now there has been no time, and the words written do not stand up to scrutiny, which is true.

"Childe's words, indeed have the style of the teacher's words, there are muscles and bones, there is also a sharp edge, the general horizontal painting is slightly thinner, vertical painting, point, apostrophe, slightly thicker, strong and powerful, true feelings, the structure is calm, the dot painting is flying, with a majestic momentum. This may be the same way, if you have time, you can get to know the tutor, and he will definitely be very happy, "Since you have such a good handwriting, why does Childe still ask Xiaosheng to write for him......" The young scholar continued. Yi Bo naturally wouldn't tell him that he was not used to writing traditional characters, but when he said this, he thought of a certain calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, and a name was about to come out. Hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask your teacher's name......" The young scholar smiled, "Anyway, this is not a secret, the family teacher Yan Gong Qingchen is also ......" Yan Shenchen, it is Yan Zhenqing, the "Yan Ti" regular script he founded is called the "Four Masters of Regular Script" with Zhao Mengfu, Liu Gongquan, and Ouyang Xun. I think it's also when I will learn about Yan in the future, so the handwriting is so similar to Yan Zhenqing.

"Long admiration and long admiration ......" Yi Bo hurriedly said, "I don't know what the relationship between you and Yan Gong is......" The young scholar smiled: "My name is Yan Yi, and I am my father's ......" I didn't expect to meet the family members of the calligraphy family, and my own signboard will definitely not be inferior, Yan Zhenqing is just calligraphy everyone is so simple, after An Lushan rebelled, he contacted his brother Yan Gaoqing to raise troops to resist, and the nearby seventeen counties correspondingly, he was pushed to be the leader of the alliance, and the army was 200,000, so that An Lushan did not dare to attack Tongguan in a hurry. It can be said that he is a loyal and courageous military strategist, and of course he has the opportunity to get acquainted, is it possible that such a big man actually lives in seclusion in such a small calligraphy and painting shop. "I don't know where Ling Zun is now, the boy is eager to visit and ask some questions about the way of calligraphy...... Yi Bo asked. Now that the traitors of the court are in charge, my father is excluded by him, and now he is no longer in the capital, and he has gone to Pingyuan City......" Speaking of this, Yan Yi's expression was a little gloomy.

Yi Bo nodded, knowing who he meant by traitorous ministers, during Yang Guozhong's control of the government, many Qing officials and virtuous and talented people were excluded. It has created a scene where no one is available in the government and the opposition. "If Yan Gong comes back, please introduce me, my name is Wei Yingwu, and I am on duty under the Son of Heaven...... Yibo also reported his home.
