Chapter 017: The second young man of the Guo family
At that moment, everyone reorganized the tables and chairs, and placed the oven in the middle of the round table, and Xiang'er instructed Niu Gui to go down and pick up the mutton and cut it into five catties, as well as benzoin, fennel, pepper, oil and salt seasonings, and prepare more to send it up, as well as charcoal and brushes.
The surname Li who came with Guo Yang, the name Luan, the word Shengshan, is also in his early twenties, handsome, dressed as a samurai, and he is quite kind, and he doesn't talk much, but he doesn't have a sense of indifference. After a few pleasantries, everyone was young, and soon they all became acquainted with each other and began to talk and laugh.
Only Xiang'er Wenwen sat there quietly and silently, but everyone saw at a glance that the so-called "brother" was a woman dressed as a man, and they all took her out to play as Yang Qing's concubine and pet attendant, and they didn't break it, nor did they talk to each other, they only chatted happily with Yang Qing.
Xiang'er was happy to be quiet, this kind of thing had happened before, so she didn't have much restraint, she sat quietly and ate roast mutton in small bites, and glanced at Yang Qing with surprise and appreciation from time to time.
"This wine is good, but it's a bit weird with this new roast mutton, and I always feel that it's not strong enough." Most of the five catties of mutton have been wiped out, and Santan Lang Guanqing has also seen the bottom, everyone is a little unsatisfied, Bao'er has already ordered to cut two catties of mutton and beat wine. And Guo Yan did not refuse, the wine was dry, and he poured himself from time to time, which was already a bit high.
"Yes, this wine is good, but it's not strong enough." Yang Qing was also a little fluttering. In later generations, he often accompanied customers to eat and socialize, and Yang Qing's understanding of wine was quite skillful. Langguanqing was a famous wine in the Tang Dynasty, and it was one of the highest-grade wines at that time, but Yang Qing knew that the alcohol content did not exceed 25% as soon as he tasted it, and the entrance was clear but lacked stamina.
"Oh? Ziyin knows where there is spirits? Guo Yan's eyes were hazy, and he asked curiously when he heard this.
"Yes, there must be, but now this Chang'an can't be found." Yang Qinghun didn't notice that Bao'er Li Luan had already shifted his attention to him.
"you! This Lang Guanqing is not a spirit, but what is a spirit? As soon as Guo Yan heard it, he felt that Yang Qing was fooling him.
"Of course not! Unless it is distilled a few more times, this Lang Guan Qing will become a strong liquor. Yang Qing dismissed, this 25-degree wine can also be regarded as a spirit?
Guo Yan didn't hear what Yang Qing said, but Bao'er listened, but he didn't understand, distillation?
Seeing that Guo Yan didn't react, Yang Qing continued to take care of himself:
"Actually, it's best to drink beer to eat this kebab, it's a perfect match!"
Bao'er finally couldn't help but ask: "Young Master Yang, what is this spleen wine?" Why I've never heard of it. ”
Broken! Yang Qing was scared to sober up when he heard it, how could I say this thing about beer! Looking around again, not only Bao'er, but everyone was looking at themselves suspiciously, including Guo Yang, who seemed to be drunk.
Yang Qing's heart began to **.
"Uh...... This beer...... I drank this kebab when I ate it before, it was slightly bitter, mellow and refreshing. Come on, come on, let's keep drinking! Yang Qing saw that the situation was not good, so he wanted to prevaricate lightly.
"Spleen wine, this name is weird......" Bao'er pondered for a long time, not planning to let Yang Qing go. Since Yang Gongzi is so respectful of outspokenness, this spleen wine must be much better than that Yaochi elixir. Bao'er was really curious. Why is the name of this wine so strange, and where did Childe drink this spleen wine? What is the detailed situation, please also ask the son to give advice. After that, a pair of eyes stared at Yang Qing with interest, without blinking.
Everyone else also looked at Yang Qing with the same thoughts. Definitely, a family is a restaurant, and there are no more wines left that I haven't tasted, and today I suddenly heard Yang Qing talk about a kind of wine that I haven't even heard of, how can I let it go? And Guo Yang and Li Luan's families are rich and noble, and they are all good wine people, almost all of the large and small wine shops in Chang'an City have been there, and they have never heard of what "beer" is, so they are not curious.
Even Xiang'er, who first saw benzoin fennel kebabs, and now heard of what "beer" is, has been following Yang Qing since she can remember, and he doesn't know anything. But today I came out like I was with the wrong person, is this boy in front of me Yang Qing?
Yang Qing saw that he couldn't hide, and turned his heart sideways: "I also went deep into the mountains when I traveled in Lingnan a few years ago, and I was fortunate to drink it when I met a Tu tribe, and the locals did not have a name for that fine wine. ”
"Oh...... I see. That...... This roast lamb method with benzoin fennel also learned about it from the Tu tribe? Bao'er continued to ask.
This Hu girl really doesn't understand etiquette, can't she see that Lao Tzu is embarrassed?!
Embarrassing is embarrassing, the only way to do it now is to bite the bullet: "Exactly!" ”
"I see, I really can't imagine that the Tu people in the deep mountains of Lingnan also know about this benzoin fennel and use it as a cooking seasoning. It's really whimsical and admirable! Bao'er looked disbelieving and unceremoniously pointed out the biggest flaw.
"Huh? …… Oh, yes, yes! "Damn! Obviously look down on ethnic minorities, aren't you a bearded girl yourself! Yang Qing's face was like a pig's liver, and he thought angrily. Fortunately, everyone was drunk, otherwise they would have to find a Mariana trench to get into.
"Lingnan? How could Ziyin travel to such a remote place, so bold! Li Luan also looked insincere.
"Brother Shengshan doesn't know, he is a native of Rongzhou, and he only entered Beijing with his father yesterday. I was depressed at home today, and I came out to hang out, and I didn't want to meet the two by chance, but I was very lucky! Yang Qing still wanted to come back, so he quickly explained.
"Rongzhou? Chang'an entered yesterday...... Could it be that Ling Zun is the new official of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Gongyuan, Yang Shilang? Li Luan's face changed this time, and he asked urgently.
"It's my father. How did Shengshan know that ...... "This time Yang Qing was taken aback, so well-informed?"
"Shengshan is a messenger, where can Chang'an City hide this matter from him! Ziyin, it turns out that you are the son of Yang Shilang! Hahaha, this is really a family sitting together! As soon as he heard Yang Qing report to his home, Guo Yang's wine seemed to wake up a little immediately, and he laughed and took Yang Qing's hand.
"What did Zhong Tao say?" Yang Qing was confused by the words of this "family".
Li Luan looked at Yang Qing, "Hahaha, Ziyin doesn't know yet, Zhong Tao is the second son of Guo Gong, the general of the Left Guard, and he is also Brother Ling's uncle!" ”
General of the Left Guard? Guo Gong? Who is it? Yang Qing was a little drunk and didn't react for a while.
Sounds familiar, where have you heard of it? Inadvertently glanced at Xiang'er with her mouth wide open and looked at Guo Yan who was smiling in surprise, Yang Qing suddenly remembered that Xiang'er had talked about her eldest brother's father-in-law...... Shaking his head vigorously, suddenly a spirit, Guo Ziyi?!
