Chapter 36: Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky

In March, farming was still going on elsewhere, and the harvest had already begun in Qingfeng Mountain.

The housing is also completed immediately, and there are many people with great strength, and the speed of the project can be slow for a battalion of small workers every day.

The restaurant opened, and Song Jiang gave the restaurant an unbelievable name of the Song Dynasty: Lu Liuxiang Restaurant, and he dared to love him and wanted to leave the fragrance of Qingfeng Town Restaurant in the whole of Shandong.

Shi Yong is now the company commander in charge of the restaurant, and Wu Chao, the son of Wu's shopkeeper, is a chef. Shi Yong carefully selected a platoon of soldiers to run the hall in the restaurant and take out to inquire about the news. Han Bolong's platoon commander treatment, assisted Shi Yong, piggybacking on the accounts.

Some of the sheep, pigs and chickens in the Qingfeng Mountain farm were slaughtered and secretly sent to the restaurant. The gambling house is next door to the restaurant, named Qianjinfang, I don't pay attention to it and think that it is a Chinese medicine shop, but it is very suitable for the taste of gamblers.

In fact, gambling is indeed a good way to lose, nine out of ten gambles, the old man's summary of the golden and jade words few people take to heart, and when they lose to the point of poverty, they will suddenly realize.

But the dog can't change its, and with a little money, he will go to the gambling house to make money, and the result can be imagined that the loss is not negotiable. Therefore, gamblers have formed a vicious circle, gambling and losing, losing and gambling, selling their wives and daughters, and finally losing without worry.

Song Jiang didn't want to do this business, but if you don't do it, others will do it, and you can't save these gambling addicts just by not opening a gambling house.

You Xinyuan is also treated as a company commander, Song Jiang asked him to also select two classes of soldiers to be responsible for the normal operation of the gambling house, and at the same time find out how there is a rich boy who likes to gamble, and if he doesn't like gambling, find a way to make him like it, and bring it to the gambling house and let them pay out of their pockets to fund the construction of Qingfeng Mountain.

Song Jiang told You Xinyuan not to make a move against some poor people, win or lose according to their own luck, some rich second-generation officials and second-generation officials leave no room for slaughter, anyway, they don't care about money.

Due to the opening of restaurants and gambling houses, Hua Rong brought some officials to participate, and the splashers in Qingfeng Town were also much more restrained, and they did not see the autumn wind. The official has two mouths, and there is no good fruit to eat when fighting with the official, it is better to dance with a stick on a windy day, and when others ask the reason, you will say that I am having convulsions.

Before leaving, Song Jiang saw off all the people who went to Qingfeng Town, and in addition to toasting, he also emphasized that Shi Yong and You Xinyuan should manage themselves, manage their subordinates, and not be corrupt.

Restaurants and gambling houses belong to the Qingfeng Mountain industry, and all the turnover is handed over to Qingfeng Mountain, but don't worry, the commission is indispensable to them, and the military industry will be accumulated after the annual assessment.

If anyone takes risks and dares to make a fuss about money, don't blame him Song Jiang for not being emotional, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and Qingfeng Mountain has its own iron laws of Qingfeng Mountain.

Song Jiang said that he would not interfere in his usual actions, as long as he did not reveal his identity, you should let go of your hands and feet to do it, for the future of the brothers in Qingfeng Mountain, we must fight, he believes in the brothers.

Good news came from the winery, Song Jiang tasted the newly made liquor and found that this liquor was indeed much better than the previous drink, but the concentration was not as good as the high-grade liquor of later generations.

After visiting the workshop again, he affirmed the achievements of the shopkeeper Wu, and then put forward opinions and suggestions on the production and distillation of the liquor, and the shopkeeper Wu promised to brew a liquor that satisfied Song Jiang.

There is no good news about the weapons of the research institute, and Song Jiang is not in a hurry, weapons are the lifeblood of the team, and they must be sophisticated, and the team equipped with shoddy weapons will certainly not win every battle.

But I still appreciate the study of the two people's lives, the so-called attitude determines everything, and with such a serious spirit, success is only a matter of time. Song Jiang praised the two of them for a few words, and asked if there were any needs, even if they put forward, they would definitely do it.

After inspecting the research institute, Song Jiang said something that made Ling Zhen and Tang Long stunned: "Two brothers, don't always refer to the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" when you are studying, you must add your own opinions to the study of weapons, the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is also written by people, there must be shortcomings, we must improve and develop, don't work behind closed doors." To doubt the study of their predecessors is to respect them rather than to blaspheme, and the doctrine of perfection will take generations or even dozens of generations to mend it, and remembering that a book of faith is equal to no book. ”

Looking at the surprised expressions of the two, Song Jiang said again: "Now our Qingfeng Mountain's weapons should start from practicality, they are powerful and lightweight, and they don't need to use four or five horses to pull the artillery, and it is best to use a firearm that one or two people can carry." Only the weapons that suit you are the sharpest and the best! ”

Ling Zhen looked like "listening to your words, it is better than reading a book for ten years", he muttered Song Jiang's words, and suddenly suddenly became enlightened, jumped up excitedly and said: "I figured it out, it turned out to be so simple." ”

After saying that, he walked to his altar and jar and fiddled. Song Jiang was rare to be in the air, and smiled bitterly, most scientists have this kind of neuroticism, and there is nothing else in their minds except scientific research, a real supernatural soul.

After leaving the research institute, Song Jiang thought about the training of the troops, and it was better to participate in a few more battles, but he could not blatantly fight officers and soldiers, so the day the team trained well would also be the day of destruction.

Now Song Jiang is brewing a way of training troops, saying that it sounds good is to fight local tyrants, and saying that it is bad is robbery. With the battalion as a unit, one company covers, one company fights, and one company transports, and the division of labor cooperates.

This kind of training can boost morale and accumulate experience, and it can also temper the military ability of cadres at all levels and condense them into combat effectiveness, rather than the rogue tactics of rushing up and scattering.

Of course, before sending troops, it is necessary to let the scouts find out all kinds of things, and Qingfeng Mountain will never fight unprepared battles.

In the box of Lu Liuxiang Restaurant, all the leaders of Qingfeng Mountain arrived, and Song Jiang brought Ling Zhen and Tang Long as well, so that these two living treasures could come out to breathe.

Today is the 100th day of Hua Rong's son, he invited all kinds of officials of Qingfeng Village to his home for a banquet one day in advance, and today he specially invited the brothers of Qingfeng Mountain. Hua Rong, Cui Shi and Hua Ziwei came to the restaurant early with their children in their arms, and Huang Xin was also invited.

Song Jiang and others had rich gifts, especially the silver longevity lock was made by Zheng Tianshou himself.

Hua Ziwei touched the longevity lock and couldn't put it down, Song Jiang saw it and said: "Don't be envious of Ziwei, when you have a child, my brother will give him a bigger one." ”

Hua Ziwei's face turned red, and everyone laughed when they saw this.

The wine and food were quickly served, and the heroes did not have extra red tape, so they sat down in order.

In ancient times, the dining table was square, and the general banquet sat eight people, commonly known as the Eight Immortals Table. Twelve people came to Qingfeng Mountain, and there were just two tables together with Hua Rong's family.

Song Jiang, Hua Rong, Huang Xin, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng sat at a table, Shi Yong, Ling Zhen, Tang Long, You Yuyuan, Han Bolong, and Hua Chen sat at a table. ”

After saying that, they just nodded, but still did not take their seats.

Hua Rong hurriedly explained: "Big brother, they are women. ”

Song Jiang thought that he was confused, and he always regarded himself as a modern person, isn't this in the Northern Song Dynasty! The status of women in the Northern Song Dynasty was low, and three obedience and four virtues became the only code of conduct for women.

Which is like the noble status of women in later generations, the wife has to follow the "follow" when she goes out, the wife orders to obey the "follow", the wife has to blindly "follow" when she makes mistakes, the wife has to wait for the "got" to put on makeup, the wife has to give up the "got" when she spends money, the wife has to endure the "got" when she is angry, and the wife has to remember the "got" on the wife's birthday.

In the current Northern Song Dynasty, don't say that you have a banquet together, even if you meet a man while walking, you have to walk behind the man, not from the front.

Song Jiang wanted to change the bad habit of male superiority and inferiority of women, so he said: "Women are very great, we are all born and raised by our mothers, who still says that their mothers are not great?" ”

Looking at the crowd, he continued: "Why is there such a big gap in enjoyment between family members who live together? I think women should have the same rights as men, men and women hold up a blue sky of life, and women can hold up half the sky. Only the genius of equality between men and women is complete. ”

After speaking, he pointed to them and said: "What kind of red tape do the children of the rivers and lakes do, if you still have any scruples, I will sit with them." ”

Everyone was busy persuading Song Jiang, and Hua Ziwei Cui also took a seat, her eyes full of gratitude.

Next is the world of heroes, eating in a variety of ways, some directly grasp with their hands, and the mouth full of oil is said to taste good.

Song Jiang must be much more elegant when eating, and he also praises Wu Chao's craftsmanship endlessly, and it seems that he will have to find a few skilled chefs in the future. Like Zhu Gui and Sun Erniang of Liangshanbo, what kind of dishes will they make, and put them in the future generations to sell offal on the street, what kind of income can such a hotel bring to the cottage, but as a spy to find out the news, it can also be used to disguise their identity.

Everyone was eating happily, and Hua Rong took the lamp and toasted. The Great Song Dynasty people toast is similar to the modern people clinking glasses, the toaster holds the wine glass and says to everyone three glasses, he drinks it first, and others follow suit.

Hua Rong drank a lot, he toasted three glasses per person, and drank thirty or forty glasses in a circle. Then the heroes each looked for a target to fight, looking like they were going home, and the scene was chaotic and joyful.

Song Jiang had an idea and ordered Xiao Er to put the two tables together, merge them into one, and everyone sat together. Song Jiang proposed to play a game as a drinking order, and if he made a mistake, he drank three glasses, and everyone thought it was novel, and he had never played like this.

Song Jiang explained: "The game is called Counting Numbers, counting from one to fifteen and back to one. However, three and four have to be reversed, which is called 'turning three and four upside down'; seven and eight cannot be said, but they are compared with their fingers, and seven horizontal fingers and eight vertical fingers are called 'horizontal seven vertical eight'; fifteen do not say it, but use two hands to compare a circle, which is called 'fifteen moons round'. ”

Song Jiangbian said that he explained with gestures and demonstrated once. After everyone figured out the rules, Song Jiang asked Cui to start first, saying that the ladies were first.

Cui Shi looked at Hua Rong and saw him nodding, so he weakly shouted one, Hua Ziwei shouted two next to her, and then Hua Chen shouted three. Shi Yong laughed and said that Huachen was wrong and should have shouted four, upside down!

Huachen shouted six directly after drinking, Shi Yong took seven, and everyone laughed, horizontal and vertical! Shi Yong shouted ten after drinking, Lu Fang calculated that he was fifteen, made a circle with his hands early, and shouted loudly to the moon when it was his turn. Everyone laughed again, and Fifteen Moon Yuan only made gestures and did not speak.

I played a lot of times, and everyone was much smarter, but the punishment of alcohol was still unguardable. For example, Song Jiang shouted four, and Hua Rong next to him must have shouted five, and as a result, he was fined three glasses of wine. Everyone happily calculates the next house, and a game connects the hearts of a table, making the wine field orderly and joyful. Since then, this number game has become the most popular liquor order in the Seifeng Mountain Liquor Farm.

As if he had found a flaw, Wang Ying shouted to stop, and he said mysteriously: "Have you found any loopholes in this game?" ”

Everyone looked at him and shook their heads, and he said, "Brother Song Jiang didn't drink a glass of wine from beginning to end. ”

When everyone was surprised that Song Jiang didn't drink and what the loophole had to do with it, they also found that Song Jiang really didn't drink, so they coaxed Song Jiang to beat the level. Song Jiang saw that he couldn't refuse, so he followed the wishes of the brothers, and each of them passed the whole level with six punches, so he could show his own amount of alcohol, so he shouted five and six to show his true colors.

When the wine was drunk, Hua Rong proposed that everyone worship brothers. Song Jiang understood that ancient Chinese men made friends to a certain extent, and they would express it in the form of righteous knots and golden orchids, and the "Taoyuan Three Knots" was the best model, and Liu Guanzhang said when he bowed, "Work together, help the poor, report to the country, and go down to the ...... of Lishu", and they fulfilled this promise with their lives.

Song Jiang also has this intention, after worshipping the son, it is more conducive to unity, so he burns incense and kowtows, kneels to worship heaven and earth, and swears a blood oath.

Originally, the worship was arranged according to the number of years, and You Yuyuan was the largest among these people, but You Yuyuan dared to be the eldest brother, and said that he had lived a few years in vain, and now he had to study humbly as a younger brother.

So Song Jiang became the elder brother, and the rest were ranked by age, in order of Ling Zhen, Hua Rong, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, Shi Yong, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Huang Xin, You Yuyuan, Tang Long, and Han Bolong. As soon as You Yuyuan let go and let it go to the eleventh, Song Jiang smiled, You Yuyuan was a slippery head, and he let go when he saw that these people were fighting, but he was also very eye-catching.

After the worship ceremony, Song Jiang picked up the wine glass and said: "Brothers have two surnames in this life, we will have one mother in the next life, brothers cheers!" ”

The heroes raised their glasses and drank them all.
