Chapter 10 Xinfeng Wine Bucket Ten Thousand
Zhou Jin's ability to win the lift is really unexpected, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For a long time, Zhou Jin has given people the impression that he is particularly arrogant, and he is like a sergeant who has been in the army for many years. But this is also easy to understand, after all, people's Lao Tzu is a general, according to Zhou Jin, although he Lao Tzu sent him to the state school, but since he was a child, he has never relaxed his supervision. It's also thanks to Zhou Jin that he has a good brain, otherwise how could he still enter the state to study under such harsh conditions.
Luo Yan didn't know it at first, and thought that Zhou Jin was simply relying on his own connections to enter the state school.
Now he can't help but start to take a serious look at this arrogant man.
As far as Luo Yan knows, Zhou Jin's Laozi relationship network basically did not leave Luzhou, and the farthest is in the area of Jiangnan Province that will be divided in the future, so Zhou Jin can be promoted completely by strength. As mentioned earlier, there is no such thing as ranking second on the list at this time, so Zhou Jin is not too good among these twenty or so people, but he is not the worst.
All the classmates from Luzhou were also stunned, Luo Yan didn't know that it was because he didn't receive much of the memories of his predecessor, but they were different. Luo Yan can be sent to be admitted to the Shike, and his own ability is no problem. But not to mention that literati are light, compared to Luo Yan, who has recently gained a reputation, Zhou Jin is completely inconspicuous.
And Zhou Jin, who shocked everyone, was the most surprised here. He didn't expect that in the end, he actually won. Thinking of the letter brought by his family some time ago, Zhou Jin muttered to himself: "Dead old man, I still dare to say that I will go back to be a big soldier with you." ”
I thought of pulling back a particularly important game in front of my own old man. Zhou Jin shouted happily: "Today, the little brother invites everyone to drink and drink Xinfeng wine." ”
Xinfeng wine is one of the best folk wines at this time, compared with those turbid wines that are still swimming in the wine lees, the quality of Xinfeng wine with a higher grade is naturally better. The most important point is that the alcohol content of this wine is a little higher, although in Luo Yan's opinion, it is not as good as the taste of sake in later generations, but it has the feeling of wine, not pure water.
If you want to talk about the best wine, you have to mention Changle Fang. Located in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, this Fang Market basically brings together half of the fine wines and restaurants in Chang'an City.
There is a long distance between the officials and Changle Fang, but in the joy of Luo Yan and Zhou Jin, the group will soon arrive with talk and laughter.
Just after the Shen time, the people in Chang'an City have not finished their normal work, so even in a place like Changle Fang, where entertainment venues gather, there are not many people.
Zhou Jin is interested in a restaurant called "Drunken Immortal Building", which is located in the middle of Changle Fang. At this time, many scholars had already come here, so after entering the short road of more than 100 meters in Changle Fang, Luo Yan and his party met many scholars who came to say hello.
At the door of the Ministry just now, because two Jinshi came out of Luzhou at once, it also impressed many people.
Luo Yan felt like he had walked for more than 100 meters for a long time, and finally walked into the Drunken Immortal Building without stopping to return the salute.
The shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building heard that two Jinshi had come at once, so he very politely invited Luo Yan and a few people to the third floor.
There is no private room on the third floor, but there are simply eight round tables, each of which leans against a window. Looking out the window, there are bustling markets, and there are also the looming palace walls of Taiji Palace, if it is not for Changle Fang itself in a corner, it is a good place to overlook Chang'an City.
There were also very few people on the third floor at this time, and the eight tables only filled three tables. Among them, there are two tables that know Luo Yan. After being polite, he turned down the invitation of the two tables, and Luo Yan and several people sat at a separate table.
Zhou Jin was already very happy today, but now he has received special care from the shopkeeper, and his mood is even better. I ordered a table full of dishes, and then I ordered four jars of wine very proudly.
This made Luo Yan's case envious. The price of Xinfeng wine is very high, a jar of wine is almost ten catties, but it costs one or two silver, and only silver.
Although the martial arts money at this time was also considered hard currency, there was still a big difference between copper coins and silver in nature. Although the official stipulates that one tael of silver is used as a consistent price, that is, a thousand Wen, in fact, this proportion is on the low side. During the Wude period, a bucket of rice was only five yuan, and according to this ratio, this jar of wine was 20 stone of rice. It's just expensive.
Luo Yan thought back to his spending after coming from Luzhou to Chang'an, and it seemed that it was only about 10 taels of silver. Zhou Jin's table is likely to be comparable to his living expenses in the past few months. Really, having a good father is indeed very important, Luo Yan can only think so.
The efficiency of the restaurant is very high, and soon the dishes ordered by Zhou Jin will be all on the table, and the little guy who serves the dishes is very clever, and every time a dish is served, the name of the dish will be reported. Golden custard, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, gold and silver sandwich flower flat cut, longevity porridge, see the wind and disappear, expensive pink, royal yellow queen mother rice, jade dew group...... Listening to Luo Yan, he felt very lofty. However, when I saw the actual dish, I was a little disappointed, isn't it a common dessert in later generations, at most it is more exquisite.
Thinking about it, in fact, this is forgivable, at this time, stir-fry is not the most mainstream cooking method, and some particularly good dishes in later generations are missing a very important ingredient, that is, chili. Although you can use perilla instead, the effect is still a little worse.
But since it's someone else's treat, you can't be too picky. And I've been eating coarse tea and light rice for several months, so it's good to get used to it.
At this time, eating is to cushion the stomach for drinking, but before drinking, it is necessary to enter the atmosphere slowly, so several people are also chatting while eating.
The topic of the chat is nothing more than the current matter, so Luo Yan and Zhou Jin also calmly accepted the toasts of the few people present, in the name of celebrating the two. After drinking this glass of wine, we immediately talked about the next plans of several people.
As the first class of the Jinshi Division, Luo Yan will be awarded the official position from the nine grades according to the convention, Fenglilang, the assistant teacher of the law, the school secretary, the secretary of the Great History Bureau, and the medical assistant of the Taiyi Department are the most likely, as for the real vacancies of the director of the three provinces, the chief secretary of the palace director, and the county lieutenant of Shangzhong, it is a radish and a pit, basically full, and even if there is a shortage, it will not be immediately awarded to Luo Yan, a scholar who has just entered the Shike.
As for Zhou Jin, the official position under the nine grades is basically the same as Luo Yan, so after guessing Luo Yan's official position, Zhou Jin's is not much worse.
As for the few people who did not win the lift, their plans are also very clear, and they will go back to study for a year and then take the exam. Although the mood may be a little lost when it comes to this, everyone is not particularly depressed, there are many ways out, and obsessing on temporary success or failure has fallen behind. So more words melted into the wine, and several people carried out the drinking order and began to drink officially.
It's really different from the kind of turbid wine I drank before, Xinfeng wine is worthy of its deathly expensive price. Luo Yan took a few sips, but because there was no cloudy sake lees mixed in, he felt very refreshing.
After experiencing a high degree of alcohol training, Luo Yan finally exerted his power at this time. It's true that the alcohol order is not good, but the amount of alcohol is good. Originally, Zhou Jin and Luo Yan were the objects of key care, but at this time, Zhou Jin had already been defeated, but Luo Yan had always been very strong.
It was naturally very miserable to be targeted, so Rao is Luo Yan drank an amazing amount of alcohol, but he couldn't stand the bloating stomach, and he couldn't stand it anymore at this time.
Seeing that the two people who were being taken care of were a little drunk, the process of drinking slowed down and they started chatting again.
Because Luo Yan lost very badly because of the previous drinking, the topic naturally turned to Luo Yan's mismatched poetry and wine order. Originally, young people love to be lively, and there is no poetry at this time, and as literati, they naturally can't stand it. So, Zhou Jin, who was a little drunk, took the lead in opening his mouth: "A few days ago, I heard Brother Luo's sentence that people don't see the ancient times and moons, but I regret that there were poems and no wine that night, but now there is good wine, but there are no good poems, which is even more melancholy." ”
Several people next to him responded with smiles.
Luo Yan looked at the posture of everyone, obviously trying to provoke himself to compose poetry. If it were Luo Yan in normal times, it would be possible to consider keeping a low profile. But at this time, when the wine was high and the spirit was high, he couldn't stand the excitement of everyone, so he simply let go.
"Since there is good wine today, the little brother will use this wine as a poem to cheer up with your brothers." Luo Yan got up, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a shallow sip, and opened his mouth to say: "
Xinfeng wine bucket ten thousand,
How many years has the Xianyang Ranger,
When you meet righteousness, you drink for the king,
Tie the horse high-rise weeping willow edge. ”
Everyone present was young, and after listening to Luo Yan's poems, they shouted wonderful. The few people who originally wanted to pour wine into Luo Yan picked up their wine glasses and drank them at this time.
It seems that Luo Yan's action of getting up and reciting the poem is too obvious, and the next few tables also heard Luo Yan's poem, and when Luo Yan finished reading, there were several scholars here who were amazed. Soon, regardless of whether it was rude or not, he walked over with a wine glass and toasted Luo Yan.
Soon the third floor changed from a few tables to one table, and after everyone introduced each other, a new round of drinking began.
……
However, even if they were excited, everyone still drank to a certain extent, and after the four jars of wine called by Zhou Jin and the drinks asked for by the other tables were drunk, they did not drink more. Instead, sit and chat a few words, and sober up by the way.
Seeing that it was almost dark, the business of Zuixianlou was becoming more and more prosperous. The third floor, which was originally deserted, was also full of guests at this time. So a few people planned to go back to rest.
When checking out, the shopkeeper didn't want Zhou Jin's money, but just hoped that Luo Yan could write down the poem just now.
The restaurant has special walls for guests to leave words, and pen and ink are also waiting for you at any time.
Looking at Zhou Jin's somewhat embarrassed expression, Luo Yan thought about it and agreed to the shopkeeper's request. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Luo Yan picked up the pen and left a few lines of flowing calligraphy on the wall. Looking at the title of "Luzhou Luo Yan" at the end, Luo Yan smiled, put down his pen, and made it easier for several people to walk out of the restaurant together.
