Chapter Twenty-Eight: Zhang Daren's Gratitude

Seeing Zhang Daren show that you are so annoying, Jia Yi knew that if he didn't follow, something might happen along the way, so he simply arranged the affairs of the family, and followed Zhang Daren on the road to Chang'an again.

"Jia Yi, why don't you let me drink that five-star wine, you must know that even if it is in front of my grandfather, he will give me some to taste, so what's the matter if I drink some now."

Sure enough, as Jia Yi thought, Zhang Daren still didn't give up, he wanted to drink the five-star wine, Jia Yi really wanted to explain, he could think of the tribute wine, maybe it was just his own guess, whether it was true or not, it was really hard to say, or not to say it, and he came up with a joke.

Jia Yi took out a small wine gourd from his body as if by magic, the small wine gourd was filled with three-star Daqu, this kind of wine is spicy and has special stamina, and then it is a headache after a hangover, it is really annoying tight, just this three-star Daqu, in terms of spiciness, is not worse than five-star wine, the only difference is that the wine is softer.

After taking the small wine gourd, Zhang Daren's face returned to normal, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Jia Yi with a smile on his face, looking like he really knows me very well, and then opened the lid on the wine gourd, and took a sip.

The spicy stimulation made Zhang Daren open his mouth and take several breaths in a row, which eliminated the feeling of burning his throat, looking at the small wine gourd in his hand is more enthusiastic than looking at the wine jar of those five-star wines, this alone can show that Zhang Daren, an idiot, fell in love with drinking just to find excitement.

Departure in the morning, arrived at noon, fifty miles away, two people walked for a long time, this time the city gate official recognized Zhang Daren, bowed slightly to him, and let him go directly.

If you want to enter the grandfather's mansion as Jia Yi, you have to go through the back door, a small house slave, and the side door of the front door is not what his identity can go.

Jia Yi, who was very disgusted with this set, decided to send it by Zhang Daren himself, and he chose to wander around Chang'an City, and agreed to gather outside the city gate before sunset closed the gate.

Zhang Daren, who was pushing the wine back to the grandfather's mansion, put the wine away, and walked straight towards the living room where Qin Qiong was, because a little housekeeper told him that Qin Qiong had something to see him.

"How many jars of wine have been shipped this time?" Qin Qiong sat on the top of the golden knife, and Li Jing sat on the futon on the low table on the left, drinking the wine that he secretly hid last time.

"Back to the master, this time a total of ten jars were transported, and now this wine is also divided into grades, and the ones sent to you are all five-star wines, which are the top ones, but this Jia Yi is too picky, the small one just wants to ask for a bowl or two to satisfy his cravings, who would have thought that he was not allowed, and his face was full of solemnity, I think that every time the master gets something good, he will share me and so on, and the small one will not be an exception this time, the small one told Jia Yi, but he still didn't allow it, it was really the stone in the pit that smelled and hard."

Zhang Daren's verbosity made Qin Qiong and Li Jing couldn't help but glance at each other, and both of them saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes, but this surprise was only for a moment, and they returned to normal.

Qin Qiong said with a smile to Zhang Daren who was standing in the hall: "Daren, Jia Yi did the right thing, not only can you not say bad things about him, but you also have to thank him, do you know why?" ”

"Little ones don't know." Zhang Daren shook his head a little dazedly, saying that he didn't understand what Qin Qiong said.

"Because this five-star wine is now a tribute wine."

The words that floated out of Qin Qiong's mouth fell into Zhang Daren's ears like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, what is tribute wine? That is the wine that needs to be paid tribute to the emperor, this wine can be drunk by the emperor at will, and other people are guilty of a crime if they drink even a drop without the permission of the emperor, Zhang Daren has knelt on the ground unconsciously, cold sweat runs down his forehead and falls on his shirt, no matter how he wipes it, he can't wipe the sweat clean.

"The little one almost made a big mistake, please punish them all."

"You haven't drunk it left and right, so where to start with the punishment, but you still have to pay more attention in the future, so as not to miss a big thing because of your greed."

"The little ones remember the teachings of the Governor."

"Well, if there's nothing else to do, you should step back first."

"By the way, Du Du, Jia Yi sent you a few jars of three-star Du Kang, saying that this wine is the most soft and suitable for you to drink."

After Zhang Daren finished saying this, Li Jing and Qin Qiong's eyes collided together, and an even stronger look of surprise filled the eyes of the two, which could not be eliminated for a long time.

If Jia Yi could guess that those fine wines would be listed as tribute wine, and Jia Yi guessed it through some clues, then caring about Qin Qiong's body would be completely knowing Qin Qiong's current situation in detail.

Qin Qiong just wanted Zhang Daren to call Jia Yi over, so he could ask clearly, but he found that Li Jing was actually glaring at him, so he endured it, waved his hand at Zhang Daren, and sent him out directly.

"What do you mean?" Qin Qiong looked at Li Jing who was enjoying the wine, and Qin Qiong was also full of doubts.

"Don't you think this kid is quick and versatile?" What he said was that Jia Yi was able to guess that those five-star wines were tribute wines, and the variety of means meant that Jia Yi inquired about Qin Qiong's physical condition through certain channels, so he offered Du Kanglai, which was still a three-star wine.

"Indeed, as you said, it seems that I still underestimated this little house slave."

"Hehe, pay close attention, and watch it slowly for a while, maybe he will be a good helper for you."

"Well, I hope so."

After the two finished speaking, they fell into silence, and neither of them spoke, just immersed in their own thoughts, thinking about their own affairs.

When Zhang Daren found Jia Yi, he was holding two horses in his hands, and after meeting, he didn't talk nonsense, and handed Jia Yi one by one, while Zhang Daren turned over the other one and began to gallop in the direction of Duqu County.

Along the way, Zhang Daren never mentioned the matter of tribute wine, because he couldn't tell anyone about it, otherwise on the one hand, it was very likely to cause trouble for the emperor, and on the other hand, it was very likely to cause trouble for Jia Yi, so it was better to keep the previous posture.

When he got home, Jia didn't want to move as soon as he lay on the bed, he was so tired, and the bump of half an hour made his ass almost fall into eight petals, and now he can still lie on the bed, which is simply the gospel of the gods.

There are still two days to go, and the inn is about to reopen, and Jia Yi still has a lot of things to prepare, at least the braised pork dish is best fried tomorrow, otherwise he will not do anything just by hearing the guests chattering.

Lin Ruyu walked into Jia Yi's room again, and seemed to come to comfort him, after all, the fatigue of the past few days and today's long-distance travel, even if it is an iron body, it can't stand it, Lin Ruyu looked at Jia Yi's cheeks with pity and lightly opened his lips and gave a good word.

"Skinny"

"Hehe, what's the matter if you're thin or not, the key is that this time we made another amount of money, ten taels of gold," this thing can't be directly circulated in the market, and it must go to the government for exchange, regardless of whether it is exchanged for copper coins or silver ingots, which can be used as money to spend.

In two lives, Jia Yi is the first time to see such a thick gold, he really wants to hide this piece of gold, and then pass it on to future generations, or as an object to inspire himself, but in the end he still took out the gold and exchanged it for money, he is really too poor, and the life without money is not comfortable.

The next day, Jia Yi slept until late, then he got up from the bed quietly, and washed up simply, which began today's busy day, first of all, to get the braised pork out, this thing is still a hot item, as long as there are people in the inn, there will be guests who come in and ask: "Do you have braised pork when you open?" ”

A large pot of braised pork exudes a strong meat aroma, Jia Yiyi covered this pot of braised pork with gauze, and then found a basin to cover the braised pork, and the stir-fried dishes began to appear, not to show all the stir-fried vegetables, but to show them little by little, so after Jia Yi finished frying the braised pork, he began to make stews, a small cloth bag filled with pepper star anise, which is the so-called big material, plus some cinnamon, the ingredients of this stew are ready.

All that's left is to stew the meat and cut it into sizes, throw it into the pot, throw it in, throw the salt into it, pour some wine, cover the pot, stew, and it's too late to start the pot again tomorrow morning.

Everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow to win, Jia Yi knows that tomorrow will be a busy day, so let Lin Ruyu go to bed early, she will be busy tomorrow.

It's a cloudless day again, the sun hangs high in the clear sky, and the faint heat that spills out makes the land of Guanzhong in June begin to have a feeling of heat, fortunately it's not so hot that it can't walk, and at noon, the stomach is hungry and growling, and there is an inn that has just opened with a burst rod in front of it, and order some food to rest.

"What would you like to eat?" Jia Er once again played the role of the shopkeeper, there was no way, now they haven't found a buddy, so they can only let Jia Er make do it first.

"Good wine and good food."

Eating in the Tang Dynasty was so direct, there were only a few kinds of wine, it didn't matter if it was good or bad, you could drink it, the meals were even simpler, stewed vegetables and cold dishes, and good dishes were stewed rotten meat, but this objective was asked today.

"I wonder if the guest officer wants to eat braised pork or stew?"
