Chapter 58: New Year's Greetings

"Dead wood, dead wood, are you blind, or deaf? Don't you understand anything? Zhao Yue'er leaned over in the gazebo in the back garden, she didn't care about the cool breeze at all, her little face was already crying, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she just knew that after the chrysanthemum poetry meeting, Su Bai's figure seemed to have entered her heart. After a long time, I couldn't see it, so I panicked and wanted to see him, and when I saw him, I didn't know what to say, and I always quarreled with two people, until today, her mother said that she was old and was going to get married, and suddenly she found out that two people were impossible, she was three years older than him!

Mrs. Zhao sighed, she realized what happened to her daughter, it turned out that she was trapped by love. Mrs. Zhao quietly withdrew, this kind of thing can only be walked out by herself, and no matter how much outsiders persuade her, it is useless.

When Mrs. Zhao returned to the front hall, her face was obviously a little unsightly, and Su Bai asked very blindly, "Senior Sister, how is Senior Sister?" Mrs. Zhao sighed, looked at Su Bai's still very immature face, and fell silent for a while. It didn't matter if she was silent, but it frightened Su Bai.

"Master? What's wrong with Senior Sister? Su Bai asked again, Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's in the back garden", Su Bai nodded, it's okay if people are fine, looking at Mrs. Zhao's expression is a little bad, Su Bai thought that the mother and daughter had quarreled, and he didn't take it too seriously, after eating, he said goodbye and left, and then he was going to visit Cheng Yanjin.

Let's go back to Liaozhai first, take Qu Yuan plow, and go straight to Chengfu, the gatekeeper guards also know Su Bai, knowing that this is the little grandfather's brother, and he didn't even ask and let him go directly, the groom admired with a face, he had followed Wang Fugui for so long, but he still hadn't come to the mansion of such a big man again, this second owner is really not simple.

Cheng Chumo reported through the porter, and also knew that Su Bai was coming, so he greeted him with a laugh, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you come to the house now", Su Bai smiled and said: "Go to the academy to visit the teacher first, the teacher's mother" Cheng Chumo has nothing to say, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, this is his elder, go first, no one can pick on it.

"What do you say about that high liquor?" Cheng Chumo asked, Su Bai pointed to the carriage lane: "It's all on it, is Uncle Cheng at home?" Cheng Chumo shook his head and said: "I'm not at home, I'm going to the court", Cheng Chumo smiled and asked: "What, there's something wrong with my father", Su Bai nodded and said: "I recently invented another thing, which can increase the efficiency of cultivated land by more than five times!" The corners of Cheng Chumo's eyes twitched twice, this grandson is going crazy! How can you invent something in three or two days? What to eat to grow up!

"What, what..."Cheng Chumo's voice was a little out of tune, Su Bai didn't hear it, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said, "Qu Yuan plow, take it out and show it to you?" Cheng Chumo shook his head and said, "I don't understand this, let's wait for my father to come back, where is the wine?" Hurry up and move out and try it", Cheng Chumo looked like a little drunkard, and had to sigh that the Cheng family's family style is really strong! Cheng Chumo is only ten years old this year, and he has been drinking for five years, Su Bai and the groom unloaded the quyuan plow and wine, and let the groom go back first, Cheng Yanjin has not come back yet, and Su Bai doesn't know how long he will stay in Cheng Mansion.

Qu Yuan plough was placed on the edge of the wall, Cheng Chumo was not interested in this, and ordered the two subordinates to carry it to the warehouse, and the jar of spirits was held in his arms, and said excitedly: "Let's go, how about tasting your wine!" "Don't wait for Uncle Cheng? "It's okay, I'll taste a small bite for my father first", Cheng Chumo looked excited, Su Bai touched his chin and said: "If Uncle Cheng comes back and finds that the wine has been secretly drunk by you, I'm afraid your leg will be about to be saved."

The corners of Cheng Chumo's eyes twitched again, and he found that talking to this grandson can definitely prevent facial paralysis! It's so annoying! Cheng Chumo's shoulders collapsed, a little deflated, and then he thought of something, became happy again, and pulled Su Bai and said: "Last time I saw those people gambling in your house, it was called fluttering, poker is a put, it's very interesting, go, make me a set, teach me how to play."

It seems that no matter what dynasty it is in, the gentlemen are almost the same.

......

I found a few pieces of white paper, glued it together with paste to make it thicker, and then painted patterns on it, briefly introduced the rules, and called Wang Xiaobao as a card partner, and the three of them opened the happy landlord mode.

"Three-to-three"

"Can't afford it"

"The tender cards are also played well!"

……

Soon, Cheng Chumo had completely understood the rules, and he was happier than anyone else, but obviously his luck was not very good, and after playing for less than an hour, he already owed Su Bai more than a hundred taels of silver! And I don't care at all, there's a... The feeling of a cute fat sheep! By the time Cheng Yanjin came back, Cheng Chumo had already owed Su Bai more than 500 taels of silver, and the jade pendant on his waist had also lost to Su Bai, and he was still full of interest.

"The boy from the Wang family is here? Wahaha", there was a deafening laughter, Cheng Biting Jin came back, the three of them quickly put away the poker, Su Bai trotted over and flattered: "Uncle Cheng has worked hard for the country, the kid brought a jar of wine today, and specially honored Uncle Cheng" Cheng Biting Jin's eyes lit up, and he laughed twice and said: "The kid has a heart, but that high level of liquor?" Su Bai nodded and said, "Exactly, please also ask Uncle Cheng to taste it." As he spoke, he took out the jar of distilled liquor under the table. He instructed the servant who was waiting at the door to fetch two wine bowls, and gently opened the wine jar.

As soon as the sheepskin was uncovered, a smell of wine suddenly filled the entire hall, Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, and he didn't wait for the next person to take the wine bowl, he picked up the wine jar and poured it to his mouth.

"Uncle Cheng, slow down!" Su Bai knew that it was going to be bad as soon as he saw Cheng biting Jin's action, but he hurriedly reminded him that he was still a step too late. Cheng Biting Jin poured a big sip, and after many years of drinking habits, he swallowed it in his stomach almost without tasting it, but this time it was a little different, he swallowed half of the wine, and he couldn't swallow it as soon as he reached his throat.

It's like a red-hot knife flowing down your throat and into your stomach! Cheng Yanjin's eyes were red and his expression was hideous, exactly the same as Wang Xing's expression when he drank it for the first time. You can see the flush on your face like black charcoal, as if... Half of the charcoal burned! Finally gritted his teeth, swallowed the wine, and in front of the two children, if he spit it out, he would not lose his life!

"Good! Wine! Cheng Yanjin's eyes were red and shouted, this is not that he wants to save face, but after swallowing it, not only is it not uncomfortable in his stomach, but there is a warm feeling, it is really a pleasure in this kind of cold and naΓ―ve, and he swallowed it too fast just now, he didn't taste the taste clearly, after swallowing it, he actually had a fragrant mouth, that kind of pure and strong aroma, which he had never encountered in the past thirty years!

I just feel that everyone is happy, "This is the wine that the big husband drinks!" Hahahaha" Cheng Yanjin took two sips of wine again, put the wine jar on the table and laughed, his laughter was full of satisfaction! Cheng Yanjin is one of the few princes who has received a good death, and it can be said that he is the one who lives most clearly in the Tang Dynasty. As soon as Cheng bit the gold and drank it, he knew that what Su Bai said that day was true, and there was absolutely no problem in selling this wine for 10,000 taels of gold within half a year. My brother-in-law has accepted a good apprentice, and my son has also found a good brother who can help him!

"Boy! Does this wine have a name? Cheng Yanjin took a big sip again and asked, this is already the third sip, I have to say that the amount of alcohol in this old black charcoal is really good! Wang Xing took a sip and slept until noon the next day, and he could still stand after three sips.

"Uncle Cheng, the name of this wine is 'burning knives'" Su Bai said respectfully, Cheng Yanjin nodded and said: "Not bad, hahaha, this name is good, isn't it the same as swallowing a knife when you drink it, not bad!" β€γ€‚β€œ Uncle Xie Cheng praised that the little nephew came this time, and there was something he wanted to dedicate to His Majesty! This thing can benefit the people of Datang immensely! ”。

"Oh?" Cheng Yanjin's expression became serious, this is the template of Datang's current officials! You can play around as much as you want, but as long as it involves things related to the people, everyone will treat them with their most serious and rigorous attitude, even Guogong!

"Tell my uncle, because His Majesty rewarded him with 100 acres of fertile land, he has been studying things these days, and a few days ago he finally developed a 'curved plow', which is five times faster than an ordinary plow! It was still winter when the little nephew tested two days ago, and he ploughed ten acres of land with only one strong cow! ”。 Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were about to pop out! He is also a farmer's child, what is the concept of one cow and ten acres of land in winter! grabbed Su Bai's arm and said, "Can you bring it?" Su Bai felt as if his arm was caught by a vice, and it hurt to death!

Although he has some kung fu foundation, he is not enough to see in front of the older generation like Cheng Yanjin, and he said with a painful face: "Brother Cheng has been carried into the warehouse!" Cheng Yanjin looked at Su Bai's face, and knew that he was excited for a while, and with a lot of strength, he laughed and patted Su Bai's shoulder twice and said: "You doll, it's okay, it's just that this body is too thin, it's better to be sturdy." Originally, my arm hurt, but now it's okay, I was slapped twice by him, and half of my body didn't feel it.

Su Bai felt that Cheng Fu's feng shui might be in conflict with him! The last time I came, I was swollen by a horse's hooves! This time, let Cheng bite Jin and slap him half-through! In the future, if this Chengfu can come less, it will come less! Don't be careless!

"Doll, follow me to see what kind of zigzag plow you have, go! If it is really useful, our Majesty will definitely be rewarded! Lao Cheng laughed twice and took the lead in walking out, and Su Bai followed with two arms like noodles. Cheng Yanjin came to the door and shouted: "Go and carry the plow pulled by the ugly young master to the back garden, and then lead the cow over, the master will plow the land today!" ”

"Master, there are no cattle that can be cultivated in our house!"

"Won't you borrow it? Just go! ”
