Chapter 49

Lao Zheng Tou thinks the same as Gao Yuan, but whoever has drunk this steamed wine, and then drinks this brewed wine, he only feels dull and tasteless. Old Zheng Tou knew that this was for healing injuries, and he couldn't drink it openly. Poor old Zheng Tou guards this steamed wine every day, but he can't drink it, and the thought of steamed wine is as tormented as a cat smelling fish. Now Zhou Nan actually wants him to make this steamed wine and transport it to Youzhou City to sell, which is tantamount to a big pie falling from the sky, and it is specially smashed at him.

Lao Zheng Tou naturally expressed his determination first, so as to calm Zhou Nan's heart, and hinted to Zhou Nan that this job could not be done well by anyone who did it except for him. At the end, he also promised that he would keep watch day and night when working, and would never let this craft be passed on and stolen. Zhou Nan smiled and said: "It's not worth anything, but with this, you can make more money in the village, and when there are more people in the village in the future, you will find another way, do some other business, and make money from the people of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Lao Zhengtou's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "The people of the Southern Dynasty are treacherous, and those arrogant people in Kaifeng City are even more tricky, if you can make these people look at it, it will naturally be easy to make money, if you can't be looked down on by him, no matter how good you are, you will only say that you are worthless." ”

Zhou Nan said nonchalantly: "If you want to make his money, you naturally have a way." ”

Old Zheng Tou asked in surprise: "Didn't Da Lang have an idea?" ”

Zhou Nan stopped Lao Zheng Tou's questioning and said, "It's not too late to make money from this steamed wine in Youzhou City." It's easy to steam this shochu, but to make this shochu, you must have your own wine to make it; As you said, the shortest is three months. I want to steam wine, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. ”

Lao Zheng was ruthless, and finally said: "There are still freshly brewed sorghum wine and rice wine under the firewood stack in the little old man's courtyard, as well as two jars of fruit wine. It's also my little old man's heart. ”

As soon as he heard that Lao Zheng Tou was still secretly storing wine, Zhou Nan exaggeratedly shouted: "Okay, you old Zheng Tou, you still have the intention to trick me and ask me to go to Uncle Liu." How much is brewed? Let's be honest. ”

"Not much, not much. There are eight jars of sorghum wine and rice wine, and three jars of fruit wine. They were all under the stack of wood, and they didn't dare to hide it. "Lao Zheng Tou obediently handed over this time. Zhou Nan asked in disbelief, "So much?" ”

Lao Zheng Tou rolled his eyes and said, "More?!" If you don't drink it, if you are like a tall boy, six out of ten altars will be given to him to drink. ”

Looking at Lao Zheng Tou's pitiful and aggrieved expression, Zhou Nan thought about it and comforted: "It's okay." In the next few days, I will ask the craftsman to make the utensils, and I will teach you how to steam wine, and when you learn it, you will have wine to drink every day. I also remembered that Lao Zheng Tou had to teach every day, and he couldn't keep steaming wine every day, so he asked Lao Zheng Tou to find an honest and reliable person who had no family and was alone, and then Lao Zheng Tou arranged for this person to steam wine with peace of mind. Just build a room in this old Zheng Tou courtyard and use it as a steaming room.

The two discussed the details of the steaming wine, and Zhou Nan saw that Lao Zheng Tou was copying, so he asked what was taught in the library. According to the meaning of Lao Zheng Tou, it is to start from Mengxue and teach, and gradually to the four books, those who have the ability can learn deeply, and those who have shallow qualifications can know a few words and know simple arithmetic. Zhou Nan was very curious about what the enlightenment taught in this era, so he asked Mengxue what books he read, and Lao Zheng pointed to the paper that was being written in front of him and said: "The left and right are just a hundred or a thousand texts." Zhou Nan blurted out: "Isn't it three, hundred, thousand?" Zheng Sunchen said curiously: "A hundred family names and a thousand-character text, but I don't know which one is three?" ”

Only then did Zhou Nan come back to his senses that the book "Hundred Family Names" was probably written in the early Song Dynasty by an unknown literati of Wu Yueguo. The reason is that some people speculate that the first sentence is Zhao Qian Sun Li, because Qian is the original surname of the author (or the author's country), and Zhao is the surname of the Song Dynasty, so Qian is ranked last. "Sun" is the surname of the princess of the Qian Yuzheng family, the king of Wuyue at that time. And "Li" is the surname of the royal family of the Southern Tang Kingdom adjacent to Wu Yueguo, which shows that the possibility that the author is a national of Wu Yue is indeed relatively large. During the Song Dynasty, "Hundred Family Names" had been widely circulated, and the great poet Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty also got creative inspiration because of "Hundred Family Names". As for the "Thousand Character Text" into the article, it is much earlier, and there is an accurate record, the formation of the "Thousand Character Text" is not a literati whim, Emperor Wu of Liang during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a die-hard fan of Wang Xizhi, because he loves Wang Xizhi's calligraphy too much, he ordered someone to select a thousand non-repeating words from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy masterpiece "Orchid Pavilion Preface", so that Zhou Xingsi, who was a member of the staff at that time, wrote a text, the full text was four words and one sentence, the battle was neat, clearly organized, and the writing was brilliant, and he could not help but admire, This week, Xingsi can be named by the big leader, and he still has two brushes. In addition, the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Song Huizong, also personally wrote the "Thousand Character Text", which shows that the "Thousand Character Text" was widely circulated in the Northern Song Dynasty. As for the "Three Character Classic", in fact, think about the last sentence of the history in it: "Yan Song Xing, subject to Zhou Chan; Eighteen passes, mixed north and south. I understand that the author should have been a person at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty at the earliest, otherwise how would he know about the "Eighteen Biography"?

Zhou Nan hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "Are there four books here?" Lao Zheng Tou shook his head, Zhou Nan was very strange that Lao Zheng Tou still knew the four books, there were no books, he could teach the four books, at least he could memorize the four books throughout. Sure enough, Lao Zhengtou's eyes revealed a gloomy look, and he said in a low voice: "After taking the exam for a lifetime, I can't forget it." When Zhou Nan heard this, he asked: "Disrespectful, I don't know if Dr. Zheng is still a scholar." Old Zheng Tou sighed, said to Zhou Nan: "I have been here for almost ten years, my ancestral home is a native of Taiyuan, my real name is Zheng Shunchen, the family has a little bit of thin field to live, only blame me for the books I read since childhood, do poetry, everyone says that Zheng Jialang is a celestial music star, and he will be an official in the future, coaxing me to just read all day, but I fail every exam, Chongnian two years, the current court sympathizes with people like me, and gives a special name, but I have no face to return to my hometown, hide my surname, and also went to the Hexi army to do a pen from Rong, and also learn a military Lang in the way of seeing a doctor, Later, he resigned as a general, and he became a Fang Langzhong, and came here ten years ago, greedy for the simplicity of the people here, isolated from the world, and settled down. I never thought that I was getting old, but I was aroused by your kid and taught these naughty boys. ”

After speaking, Lao Zheng Tou returned to his usual face and said: "Little Lao'er's experience, don't frighten Da Lang." Zhou Nanxin said, wait for me to tell you how I crossed and see who scared whom. Thinking about it in his heart, he said, "It's rude." Dr. Zheng didn't say it earlier, but he almost buried it. It turns out that Dr. Zheng can be literate and martial, and I hope that Dr. Zheng will not be stingy, and teach students some physical fitness techniques at the same time, and they can also defend themselves. Also, Brother Gao's team of people used knives and guns all day long, but they couldn't get to the point, and they also had to be pointed out by Dr. Lao Zheng. ”

Zhou Nan knows that a person like Lao Zheng Tou who has never met a talented person needs a platform that can recognize his own value, he needs others to recognize his value, and the more you give him things to do, the more he will work hard to do well. Therefore, Zhou Nan lost no time in asking Lao Zheng Tou to guide Gao Yuan's team, and Lao Zheng Tou would definitely be happy.

Sure enough, although Lao Zheng was humble, he readily agreed to Zhou Nan's request.
