The Duchess of Xiyang County, Wei Chi, suffered a difficult birth, and finally got God's blessing to give birth to a son for the Duke of Xiyang County, Yuwen Wen was overjoyed to reward two Wen Po who helped deliver the baby, and the two heavy wooden boxes containing money were transported to each other's homes by horse-drawn carts.

The next day, Yu Wenwen took a large box of sesame oil money to the temple near Anlu City to incense, which alarmed the whole temple to greet this pious benefactor in front of the temple gate, according to the scene of the pilgrims, the temple was full of smoke that day, and I don't know how many pillars of incense were lit in the temple by the Xiyang County Gong, and some pilgrims said that a small novice with the name of Wuming in the temple that day was still vulgar, and the abbot personally presided over the ceremony.

Another day, at noon, the main generals of the new army under the command of Xiyang County came to the mansion with gifts to celebrate their happy son, this is the second time they came to the door to celebrate, the first time was in early June, after the birth of his eldest son.

"If you don't get drunk today, you won't go home!" Yu Wenwen personally greeted the guests at the gate, and today's congratulations are all the generals above the new army building, and yesterday afternoon Yu Wenwen has sent people to the barracks to bring wine and meat to put wine and wine 'treats' so that the soldiers can drink happily.

Because of the responsibility of assisting in the defense of Lucheng, Yu Wenwen invited the generals at noon to avoid being caught off guard by something suddenly in the middle of the night, if there is an emergency, the soldiers have a deputy and a team of generals, and they will not be leaderless.

Yuwen fifteen led the generals into the main hall, and Zhang Yu led the accompanying guards to the side hall to dine, this time the banquet except for Xu Shao who returned to Yuezhou are here, Xu Shao learned that Yuwen Wen put wine and asked An Lu's housekeeper to send gifts to congratulate, because his wife was extremely excited and burned the bag of Yuwen Commander Army today to be with his subordinates 'everyone happy'.

As a warm-up before the meal, Yu Wenwen arranged a game in the arrow hall, and the popular games of this year were about the calamus, holding the lance, throwing the pot, and playing and shooting. Gambling in the woods. The grip and pitcher are too literal, so the shooting is a play, that is, a competition archery.

Drama shooting is divided into friend shooting and single shooting. Since it is necessary to 'have fun with all', it is a team competition - friend shooting, the participants are divided into two friends, each person takes turns to shoot, according to the number of arrows hit, and finally add together, the friend with more chips wins.

Yuwen Wen set up two hundred as the lottery head, the one who lost was the first three bowls of wine when the banquet was held, the generals present today were the military lord Chen Wudi, the lord Yuwen fifteen, Yang Ji, Liang Dingxing and other nine people, a total of ten people, divided into two friends, exactly five people per friend.

Among the ten people, Shi Wansui's archery skills are extremely high, so he uses to catch lots, and the distance between the arrow targets is pulled to one hundred and twenty steps, and Yuwenwen does not participate in the competition, so he personally records the chips. All the bows and arrows used were prepared in the house.

The drama is divided into three rounds, and each round is re-drawn to divide friends, if anyone who is unlucky loses, they will have to be fined nine bowls of wine before the meeting, and then Yang Ji and Chen Wudi will become the 'only two' unlucky ghosts.

But others would rather be the unlucky ghost, because the punishment is the famous wine, green wine, Xiangzhou Linshui has a lake to take water for the wine, the name is called the wine, also known as 'green wine'?, this wine has a long history, in the Three Kingdoms, it was famous in all directions, and even used to sacrifice the temple, and now it is still a tribute wine in the Southern Dynasties.

Fifth Brother Chen's alcohol is good, but Yang Ji, who has always had a good amount of alcohol in Chang'an, was drunk and unconscious just after drinking nine bowls, Yuwenwen instructed Zhang Yu to lead the servants to carry this weak chicken down, and the rest of the few who drank six bowls were in good spirits, and the green wine was also sold in Anlu City, but it was too expensive, and they were reluctant to buy it on weekdays.

The maids served fragrant dishes one after another, Chen Wudi and the others were all from poor families, and they were all from poor families, and they were dazzled when they saw this dish they had never seen before, they all knew that Yu Wenwen was a rich and noble gentleman, so they couldn't help but be amazed by this 'big show'.

"It's a common dish in a wine shop. You're welcome! Yu Wenwen has been in Chang'an for many years, so he naturally doesn't think that the dishes in front of him are expensive, and when he saw that everyone didn't seem to know how to put down chopsticks, he specially ordered high-end goods: "Come on, come on." This is rice boiled with cicada rice, and serve more. ”

Cicada singing rice is the ripe rice when the cicada sings, the Southern Dynasty Liang's Chinese book Ling Yu Beiwu once praised the cicada rice produced by Xiangfan as 'the water singing cicada, fragrant smell seven miles' with such rice cooked out of the crystal crystal aroma, but there are a lot of Yuwen warm roasted buns, one of which is five-flavor preserved meat.

Preserved is to cut pigs, cattle, sheep and other large livestock into strips, slices after processing, wax is chicken, duck, geese, rabbits and other internal organs after the whole processing, five-flavor preserved wax is to use beef and sheep broken bones to cook tempeh, drain off the dregs and add salt, green onions, pepper, ginger, orange peel five-flavor seasoning to soak meat strips, meat slices or wax, take out in the warehouse to dry after soaking, the five-flavor preserved wax process made by the famous family is complex and the materials are exquisite, but not ordinary people can afford to eat.

The other is Hu Pao Meat, which is a popular moxibustion (grilled) food at this time, and the Pao is wrapped in a method of burning moxibustion, Hu Pao Meat is to cut the fat white mutton and fat into thin slices, mix well with the seasonings such as soy bean, salt, green onion, ginger, pepper, long pepper, pepper, etc., and then put it into the washed and turned over lamb belly and fill it and sew it well.

Dig a pit in the ground, light a fire, heat it, take out the ash fire, put the lamb belly in, then put the ash fire on top of the lamb belly, and then light the ash fire, and cook about one stone of rice, and then cook, its taste is fragrant and unusual.

Next is the most roasted package is the sea bass with lettuce, the sea bass is made of fresh four-cheek sea bass that is transported from Jiangdong, and the sauce is also a very expensive Zhuyi, Zhuyi is a kind of fish intestine sauce is said to be found when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased the Yi people to the seaside, so it got its name, this sauce uses the intestines, belly, and swim bladder of three kinds of fish, such as totoaba fish, shark, and mullet, and the swim bladder are salted.

"These are the ingredients that my father ordered in Zuixiang Building, and I almost couldn't order them, so I specially invited their chef to come to the house to take charge of the dishes today, and everyone is hot." Yu Wenwen didn't feel heartache either, he didn't eat these things much on weekdays, of course, it wasn't that he couldn't afford them, but it was not good: how could he go to the barracks to eat with the soldiers when he was used to eating this kind of high-end goods?

This time, Mrs. went through hardships and gave birth smoothly, and he also wanted his subordinates to share the joy and burn money to 'broaden', Chen Wudi and others were a little afraid to put down chopsticks when they saw such an expensive dish, and Shi Wansui was a little surprised when he looked at this sumptuous wine and dish: it was ordered from a wine shop instead of the kitchen in the house?

Shi Wansui was a general in Chang'an, naturally there was no shortage of wine and meat friends, and he pushed the cup more on weekdays, to be honest, these wine and dishes in front of him were not as good as the delicacies in the Chang'an wine shop.

He always thought that the 'style' of a rich and noble gentleman like Yu Wenwen would be very high, but the pomp and circumstance of the mansion was really ordinary, the clothes of the servants were ordinary, and the appearance of the maids was even more ordinary, the tableware was sparse or not, it was not a precious porcelain, and the decoration of the mansion looked to be of an average level.

Even on the food table, these 'high-end' dishes are bought in the wine shop outside, not made in their own kitchen, that is to say, the food level in the house on weekdays is also average, Shi Wansui originally thought that Yu Wenwen, as the second son of the head of Anzhou, could basically walk sideways in Anlu, so it is common to spend all day drinking and having fun, but what he heard and saw after entering the mansion showed that the other party didn't care much about these.

Yuwen Wen can be said to spend money like running water, but his own use is ordinary, which is somewhat inconsistent with the rumors outside' that 'Xiyang County Gongcheng spends all day drinking and wandering'.

Shi Wansui glanced at Yu Wenwen, who was seated, and thought in his heart: I am willing to spend money, it seems that there is endless money, but the money is spent on military training, and this county magistrate has a lot of plans.

"Don't say anything, it's all in the wine!" Yu Wenwen picked up a pot of wine and came directly to the bottom, and everyone present naturally carried the wine pot to see the bottom, and after drinking too much wine, he naturally began to pour wine.

Although Yuwen Wen is approachable, but Chen Wudi and others did not dare to pour, they toasted a few rounds of wine and ate the delicacies, and then looked for the famous Yuwen Fifteen, who was famous for 'grabbing people's heads'.

"I said Lord Yuwen, there was a rebellion in Jiangling City that night, but unfortunately you weren't there, Lord Shi led the cavalry to crush the sneak attack Xinzhou army in the south of the city, wow!"

"Also, when we came out of the tunnel, we ran into a scene in the bamboo forest and almost scared people to death!"

"Everyone was worried that night, it was the master of Yuwen Mansion who was happy in Anlu, and he had to pay a few drinks!"

Yuwen fifteen is not only the master of the army in the army, but also the person around Yuwen Wen, and will come to things, so it has become the object of everyone's 'invigorating the atmosphere of the scene', Chen Wudi and others are thinking about the Yuwen building master in front of him who likes to 'grab people's heads', and it seems that the amount of alcohol is not much better, so 'It's you!'

Unexpectedly, Yuwen fifteen was thin and thin, but the amount of wine was not small, he followed the Lang lord Yuwen Wen in Chang'an for many years, and he spent all his time drinking wine on weekdays, so he had a lot of wine, Chen Wudi and others found a lot of reasons to touch the wine, and saw that his cup of stomach did not change his face, so he had a wheel battle, and was all knocked down by the other party.

"Master Shi, do you want to go on a few rounds with my father?" Yuwen Wen picked up the wine glass and began to challenge, his 'horse boy' Yuwen fifteen miscellaneous fish were cleared, but he may not be able to deal with the former general in front of him who was the 'alcohol test', so as the boss, he decided to take action himself.

Shi Wansui knew that this clan county prince who had seen a big scene in Chang'an was not a good match, so he surrendered his hand and said to him: "County prince, a certain is not strong enough to drink." ”

"Fifteen, let people help the lords to go down and sober up."

After the servants carried down the drunken Fifth Brother Chen and the others, Yuwen Wen clapped his hands, and Yang Ji, who was 'not strong enough to drink', walked in from outside the door, and he nodded to Shi Wansui and then did his original position.

"Lord Shi asked the fifteenth pass of the message yesterday that Bengong also feels the same way, why don't you talk while eating?" After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he raised his glass and continued, he invited wine in the mansion today, put aside military affairs, and claimed to have changed to 'Bengong'.

"In that case, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order." After Shi Wansui finished speaking, he and Yang Ji raised a glass and drank it all.

Today's wine, Yuwen Wen came to have fun with his subordinates, and the second was to listen to Shi Wansui's summary of the new army during this time, since Shi Wansui joined the gang, Yuwen Wen asked him to carefully observe the new army and then express his own views and opinions, the purpose of this is to find out the flaws of the new army through the perspective of the other party, a battle-hardened general.

"County Prince, according to a certain person, the new army will only fight in a stupid battle, the soldiers are not skilled and there are too few archers, and it will be finished sooner or later if it goes on like this!" (To be continued.) )
