Chapter 25: The Mid-Autumn Night Banquet

Time flies quickly, and at dusk, the Moon Tower is already full of guests.

They are all political and business figures in Wannian County invited by the county commander Chen Gu.

After these people came, they talked to each other and got to know each other, and the atmosphere of the entire Mochizuki Tower can be described as good.

And among these people, there are two people who are the most popular.

One of them is Gu Bai.

As this year's new science and technology scholar, and staying in the capital, everyone feels that Gu Bai's future is unlimited, his achievements are not ordinary, and everyone wants to take advantage of this time to be familiar in front of him.

Therefore, Gu Bai was naturally held by the stars.

The other one is an old man in his sixties, who is even more popular than Gu Bai, because he is a famous Confucian in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xiaoru.

Wang Xiaoru is a great Confucian of the previous dynasty, and it can be said that in the entire Tang Dynasty, no one knows and no one knows.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court appointed Wang Xiaoru to a very important official position, but a few years later, he became a scholar, but although he was a scholar, he did not return to his hometown, but stayed in Wannian County.

But any smart person can see that this is because the court is not at ease with him, so he refuses to let him go.

You must know that Wang Xiaoru is a great Confucian of the previous dynasty, he has a lot of feelings for the previous dynasty, and the reason why he was willing to serve in the Tang Dynasty was also to keep some officials of the previous dynasty.

After Li Yuan abdicated, Li Shimin ascended the throne and invited Wang Xiaoru, but Wang Xiaoru refused.

And he refused the invitation of the Son of Heaven, so he could only continue to stay in Wannian County.

However, because he was invited by the Son of Heaven and he was a famous Confucian in the Tang Dynasty, everyone respected him very much in Wannian County.

On weekdays, it is very difficult for everyone to see Wang Xiaoru, but today Wang Xiaoru rarely appears, everyone naturally wants to talk to him for a few words, if you can get a few comments from Wang Xiaoru, it will be a lifetime of glory.

Inside the Mochizuki Tower, it is very lively.

Outside the building, the full moon rises in the east, illuminating the entire Wannian County.

And at this time, Chen Gu took a group of officials from the county government to climb the Moon Tower.

After going up to the Moon Tower, everyone quickly quieted down, and many people saluted Chen Gu and others, and after Chen Gu returned the salute, he took people directly to Wang Xiaoru.

"Wang Lao is willing to come, tonight the Moon Tower is shining."

Wang Xiaoru was thin, glanced at Chen Gu, and said, "I also came here for good wine, if I can't taste it for a long time, I will leave immediately." ”

The imperial court wants to issue a ban on alcohol, tonight is the day of the winemaking competition of many wineries, Wang Xiaoru in the previous dynasty after the death of the country, it is good to drink, so, I heard that there is good wine tonight, he also came.

"Rest assured, there must be good wine."

Wang Xiaoru nodded: "Then let's start." ”

After Chen Guying got down, he came to the front of everyone, and at this time, the businessmen with heads and faces in Wannian County sat on the side, and those talented people, political officials and their families sat on the other side.

Cui Shaoqing and Huang Man'er sat on the side of the political officials, and when he looked up, he could see Qin Yu and Qin Rou opposite.

However, since he came in, neither side had ever greeted him, and when Cui Shaoqing looked over, Qin Rou also happened to look over.

After Qin Rou noticed this, she suddenly felt a little flustered in her heart, and quickly turned her head, but even she didn't know how she could be flustered, but Cui Shaoqing looked calm, and after seeing Qin Rou's reaction, she showed a light smile.

"This girl is still shy."

Just thinking about it, Chen Gu had already spoken.

"Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, you can come, all to give the official face, the official here to thank you in advance, compared to everyone has already heard, tonight, will be the time for the wine of many wineries to compete, whose winery wine wins, that is, the top two, they will be able to get the qualification to make wine."

"The wine of each wine shop, the official has already brought someone to take it out, these wines, the official has ordered someone to change the wine jar, casually made up one, two, three, four, serial numbers, so, unless you compare them one by one, no one knows that this wine is from that wine shop, this is done to ensure fairness, now, please taste the No. 1 bar."

Soon, someone took the wine jar and poured a glass of wine for the guests at each table, and after everyone drank it, their faces suddenly became a little ugly, and some people even spit out the wine they drank in their mouths.

"What kind of wine is this, it's simply bad, it's not good."

"It's just that the taste is so bad that it's hard to drink."

“…………”

Everyone complained, and the people in the winery couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads after hearing this, and they were very aware of this situation.

Winemaking, does not mean that every jar of wine can be brewed successfully, if you want to make wine successfully, there are many factors needed, such as time, such as materials, and sealing, etc., but if there is a link wrong, it is possible to fail in winemaking.

Under normal circumstances, five of the ten jars of wine can be successfully brewed, which is already very good.

Therefore, everyone is very worried, if they take it out and drink it and it is not brewed, then their luck is too bad?

No. 1 wine was not successfully brewed, and it was naturally eliminated.

This was followed by the second wine.

After the No. 2 wine was served, everyone was a little afraid to try it, after all, they all had a psychological shadow, for fear that this jar of wine was not brewed, and they didn't want to try it again.

But you can't taste it.

They could only endure a sip.

After drinking this sip, everyone's expressions changed suddenly, followed by a happy aftertaste.

"Good wine, really good wine, this wine is better than the sword south of the spring, Persia Sanle pulp has never been much, I really can't imagine that we have a wine shop in Wannian County that can make such a good wine."

Just when everyone had an endless aftertaste, Wang Xiaoru couldn't help but praise, he is now a standard drunkard, and he has reached the point of obsession with wine, and the wine he drinks at home is also good wine.

The No. 2 wine tonight was no worse than the good wines he drank on weekdays, which made him suddenly look forward to this wine tasting tonight.

After Wang Xiaoru praised him like this, everyone else nodded in agreement, this wine, they really think it's good.

When everyone was talking, Qin Rou's expression suddenly moved, and she couldn't help but look up at Cui Shaoqing.

He knows all about the wine of other wineries in Wannian County, and none of them have wineries like this.

Thinking of the secret recipe given by Cui Shaoqing, I am afraid that this wine can only be drunk by their beauty.

"This Cui Shaoqing, do you still have this ability?"
