Chapter 111: Overnight Stay in Natural Dwelling
"If this wine is in Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be a bottle of ten, and I'm afraid it can be sold." Lu Zhuoyu's face was red, and he looked at the stoneware bottle on the table with drunken eyes, and looked at the poems behind it, and liked it more and more.
Although the high concentration of alcohol made the Tang people at this time feel very amazing, and the taste was also very close to the liquor of later generations, although the liquor was fragrant, not every Tang person could accept it.
Whether it is Wuliangjing or Guitai wine, for a child of a family like Lu Zhuoyu, although it is fragrant and mellow, it is really too strong, so he called the wine doctor waiting at the door and let him serve a wine called "Xinghua Village".
Presumably, you have also guessed that this Xinghua Village is Fenjiu, which is called Fenqing at this time, which is the earliest liquor in China, and this Xinghua Village, in fact, was used as the production area of Fenjiu in the Tang Dynasty, which is quite famous.
But after Dingming purified Fenqing, the fragrance did not disappear, and the dense and delicate characteristics of Fenjiu were more prominent, and the Fenjiu in the store, Lu Zhe added green plum candied fruit to it, and when he drank it, he added a little ginger shreds and roasted it slightly over low heat, with a hint of sweet fragrance, which simply made Lu Zhuoyu unable to stop.
And what poked the G-spot of Lu Zhuoyu's romantic characters even more was that behind the wine bottle in Xinghua Village, a complete poem of Seven Uniques was printed.
"During the Qingming season, it rained,
Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
By asking where the restaurant is,
The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village. ”
This poem has a timeless meaning, and it makes people feel fragrant when they read it, just like this fragrant Fenjiu, fresh and delicious but with endless aftertaste.
There are a total of four kinds of liquor supplied by the natural residence, and the second class is the dregs sold at the window and in the canteen upstairs, which are extremely strong and spicy, and you can buy a pound for more than a dozen yuan. The second class is a kind of wine called Yuliufu, the taste is also quite strong, but it is a lot more expensive, 500 wen a bottle, and there is no poetry behind the bottle. The best thing is that this Xinghua Village, there are Fenglaiyi (Xifeng wine refining), Yujing Yanyuan (Yingzhou Fushui refining), Grotto Chunxiao (Fuping Stone Frozen Spring Refining), to be consistent with a bottle, most of the wine bottles have a quatrain behind (at this time, Chen Ziang's father is still a small tadpole, and the poetry of the Tang Dynasty that influenced later generations has not yet taken shape, so the literary style of the Tang Dynasty still follows the Six Dynasties, advocating gorgeousness, and the quatrain is a small poem for them).
And the top one, is Wuliangjing and Guitai, is Dingming after many tests, a collection of a variety of famous wines, mixed and refined, the poems behind the wine bottle, there is only one sentence, all from Li Bai's moon under the moon drinking four articles, is to arouse the collection desire and curiosity of these rich family literati, its price is also quite expensive, a bottle to six six hundred and sixty-six Wen, almost equivalent to the total income of Chang'an's civilian home for a year.
The four kinds of liquor correspond to laborers, small businessmen, ordinary scholars and family members, and the customer groups are distinct, and everyone can find the wine they can afford to consume in the natural residence, so although the natural residence has not been opened for a long time, it is more profitable than the general wine shop restaurant in Datang.
Although the model of not making money from meals and only relying on wine to make money is very common in later generations, it is still relatively novel in the Tang Dynasty, where the folk customs are simple, but the natural high level of wine should be the only one in the Tang Dynasty, plus the addition of feelings and literary talents, it is understandable to sell more expensive.
After all, can this cultural person's wine be called expensive? Since its opening, in addition to the bad liquor, the best-selling ones are the five grains and Guitai, among which the celebrity effect of Lu Tingdong and Taishou Zheng Guanyu has played a great role.
"One more bottle." Under the stimulation of the deliciousness, Lu Zhuoyu and the others ate smoothly, although they were a little drunk at this time, but they still ordered another bottle of Youfeng Laiyi.
"Thousands of miles of peaks and mountains are returning to the road, and Rong Cai has not been sentenced to borrow pheasants. In the New Year, there will be a young music, and there will be two places in the Age Hua Pond. Good poetry, good poetry. "Compared with the fresh and timeless Xinghua Village, Cui Yuanli, a typical child of a family, prefers this song with Feng Laiyi.
"Lang Jun really has a good eye, this has Feng Laiyi, and it is the favorite wine of the sergeant in the shop." Dr. Jiu usually handed the wine to the descendants of the Cui family, while flattering him.
"Oh? The sergeant also loved this wine. Someone asked you, why are there so many scholars in this natural center? Lu Zhuoyu wanted to ask just now, just when he was on the second floor, he found that many scholars came out of the room on the other side of the second floor, and went downstairs to buy food to eat.
"Haojiao learned that originally this small shop, there are no tenants, this rock town is only half a day's walk away from Chenzhou, who would want to live here, why not live in Chenzhou City, since a certain proprietor repaired it, half of the second floor is a guest room, but at first there were very few guests in the hotel, since Lu Gong and Zheng Taishou and a noble person came, the people who came to live in the store increased, and most of them were young scholars." Dr. Jiu's explanation made Lu Zhuoyu show a look of sudden realization.
"This Shanshui Lang knows how to take advantage of the situation. Not only Lu Zhuoyu, but also several people present at the moment had the same thought in their hearts.
To put it bluntly, it is the celebrity effect, the imperial examination in this era is not yet the mainstream, the literati want to be promoted, mainly rely on the recommendation of important ministers, scholars will often submit their works or strategies to these people, hoping to get their appreciation, and then become an official, this behavior is called Xingjuan, which was extremely popular in the Tang Dynasty. Even the poet immortal Li Bai, a character like an immortal, is not exempt from vulgarity, and has been a powerful person many times, and even had an affair with Princess Yuzhen, and wrote a lot of fairy poems to praise her.
Therefore, these ordinary scholars live in this natural residence, claiming to be to crack the absolute or feel that this place is quiet, suitable for studying, etc., but in fact, what do they want to do in their hearts, Lu Zhuoyu These scholars are high, and their hearts are clear. These poor people are actually coming for people.
As for who to rush? Does this need to be asked? Although Lu Zhe, a Shanshui Lang, is somewhat famous, compared to Zheng Guanyu, who holds the power of Chenzhou, and Lu Tingdong, the elder of the Lu family, and the golden purple Guanglu doctor, Shanshui Lang, the son of an immortal who has no worldly power, is simply not worth mentioning.
So, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent, the superiority of the high-ranking disciples and the disdain for these poor scholars were all in the smiles of the three of them.
"It's over, if the three honored guests don't dislike, they can succumb to the shop, there are three separate rooms in the backyard, they are not open on weekdays, the place is not small, we are sprinkling and cleaning every day, the guest rooms are extremely clean, and there are some wonderful points, that is, before that Lu Gong and Zheng Taishou, they also came here to stay for half a day." Obviously, Dr. Jiu couldn't understand the point of the scholar's exchange, and thought that the three of them were interested in him with a slightly mocking smile, and he also saw that these three were different from those shop sergeants, they belonged to the noble customers, and they were not bad at all, so he immediately spoke in order to reward the money.
"Oh? An uncle from a certain family also came to live here? Then Lu is going to see it. Lu Zhuoyu was drinking at the moment, and hearing this also aroused interest. And Dr. Jiu has said all this, if he doesn't go to live, wouldn't he question the meaning of his uncle's taste?
Immediately, a descendant of the Lu family walked up to Dr. Jiu.
"That's the case, Dr. Lao over there leads the way, and we will now put Lang Jun in the salute."
"So that the guests can know that there are three sets of guest rooms in this backyard, each of which is different, and the proprietor of a certain house has instructed that it is better to let the distinguished guests choose their own party." Dr. Jiu looked at the gorgeously dressed servants of the Lu family and said timidly.
"It's also interesting, then wait a while, after a certain and two Langjun have fun, I went over to see it in person, what is the beauty of the place where the clan uncle lived that day, Cui Langjun, Yang Langjun, today is not shallow, why don't we stay together, we will go to Chenzhou City tomorrow to visit that Zheng Taishou, what is it?" Lu Zhuoyu picked up a chopstick and fried lamb with green onions and put it in his mouth, his eyes full of smiles.
"Dare to disobey!" Cui Yang and the two agreed in unison.
