So, Mahdi immediately beckoned Li Zhi and sat down with Xun Wenqing to talk in detail, compared with the latter, Li Zhi understood more from later generations, and after some explanation, he gave a clear suggestion:

"I think this time I can buy back in large quantities, with my traditional Chinese medicine cognition, Tusu wine does have a miraculous effect on the prevention and control of plague, not infested in places with high incidence of epidemics, and daily drinking can also lead to longevity and health!"

Xun Wenqing agreed: "In fact, people who are good at drinking will also regard it as a common drink, and it is not uncommon for people to get drunk because of it. ”

"In that case, then bring me another drink!" After the translation, Mansour smiled.

Seeing Li Zhi nodded, Xun Wenqing immediately filled him with another cup, and without frowning, Mansur raised his neck and poured it into his mouth.

At this time, the courtyard has been arranged into a small stage, because of the need to shelter the intrusion of the cool air at night, many bamboo sheds have been set up around the stage, and they are wrapped in festive red curtains, which are not simple.

Between the stage and the bamboo shed, there is still a huge space, with red carpets paved, leaving a few bonfires that have not yet been lit.

There are two iron racks around the campfire, on which are hung fresh beef and mutton that will be used tonight.

In the simple shack behind the stage, there are artists from all over the world who have arrived, and there are special dining places on both sides for them, and various musical instruments or performance equipment have been taken out of various wooden boxes.

The long tables needed for the dinner had to be temporarily pulled from the government venue, so they were still being arranged out of busyness.

Under the huge grape trellis where Li Zhi and the others were, it had already been transformed into the main venue mode surrounded by tables on both sides, and the ground was also covered with a red carpet, and all kinds of lanterns had been lit, intertwined with hundreds of lanterns and countless torches in the garden.

At this time, they came one after another, the leaders of various families in Guangzhou City, Li Zhi originally did not plan to invite them, and who did not want to have a harmonious atmosphere of family reunion during the New Year.

However, the Bei family came forward, and they were jointly entrusted by various families, and their attitude was very firm.

These people have very practical ideas, so they plan to take advantage of the rare festive day to ask for good luck in front of Li Zhi, and make a familiar face, and finally the current prosperity of Guangzhou Port is due to him.

Each family has a large business in the port, and as the port becomes busier, it has gradually replaced the family's main source of income.

Li Zhi also has a city envoy under his name, as the first establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the power given by the imperial court is not ordinarily large, and without the escort of the city envoy, business will be greatly restricted.

Under the recommendation, the people from Luofu Mountain sat down with the three of them from Qiantianguan Xinjingshan, and soon their identities were recognized by various families.

The families are all semi-cultivation forces, and the name of Luofu Mountain alone is enough to make them deeply awe-inspired.

The legendary Qiantianguan came, of course, even more shocked these people, and everyone was secretly happy in their hearts, and the opportunity they won was really precious.

This kind of person was accompanied by Fu Chen and Liqi, but when the dishes began to be served, Liqi pulled Li Zhi away, and the two came to the Chaoyuan Secret Realm together.

The ready-made ingredients were already ready, and when he was busy, Li Zhi talked to the two old men for a while.

After seeing that the second elder had no change of mentality, he returned to the banquet venue.

The two brothers Gan Yinghao and Gan Xiuming of the Gan family came when he left, followed by the third-level master Gan Wenyao.

However, at this time, Gan Wenyao had already advanced to the peak of the third level, and it was a Yuan Qi Pill handed over to him by Li Zhituobei's family, and he was successful in January.

This person met when he attacked Magpie Island half a year ago, and aside from the identity of the Gan family, there was still some personal communication between him and Li Zhi.

In fact, in Guangzhou City, because of Li Zhi's support, the Pei family has appeared at the peak of three third-level masters, if compared according to this single condition, the strength of the strongest person of the Pei family is no longer inferior to the only super power Gan family.

But the strength of the Gan family is all-round, not only is the number of cultivators huge, but the family background is by no means comparable to the newly rising Bei family.

After the heads of each family, Xinjing Mountain, Luofu Mountain, and the most powerful people of the three parties were invited to the grape trellis, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with mixed meanings began.

The four princes of the Abdul royal family, and the two envoys stationed in Tang were naturally here, plus Mi Rui and the other two people in the official palace, it was also crowded with thirty or forty people.

Luckily, there's plenty of space and plenty of seats to spare, so it doesn't feel cramped.

Some musicians played a festive performance, Pingwa and other children, just threw the blasting rod around the bonfire, and after a long crackle, Li Zhi, as the host, said a few words loudly, and some maids served Tusu wine to each table.

He didn't understand the specific drinking regulations, and he had the person Mi Rui found to master the master of ceremonies, and Li Zhi had Ibn quietly running up to the table, and of course the first cup became his.

What made Li Zhi feel a little embarrassed was that the second cup on this table was actually himself, everyone was happy, and some people were secretly sighing, because many people didn't really realize that Li Zhi was only twenty-two years old at this time.

The formal banquet process is only the successive drinking of Tu Su wine, and after the longest person drinks it, the scene immediately becomes lively.

The drum music was noisy, the lion dance entered the venue, and the cups were changed during the banquet, and the rich New Year's atmosphere was soon enveloped.

The artists were also placed by good students, and good wine and meat were served, and it was not until an hour later that they began their respective performances.

The opening is the bench dragon from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is a Han dragon dance that is said to have originated in the Han Dynasty and evolved from the religious activity of "dancing the dragon for rain".

This is a multi-stool dragon of more than a dozen people, each person holds a stool, the front one shows the dragon's head, the latter shows the dragon's tail, and the rest is the dragon's body.

In addition, the two people raised the orb to tease the dragon to march, and several people coordinated their actions, following each other, rising and falling, wearing and swinging.

When dancing, follow the prescribed routines, dance with the drum beat, and dance in a regular and rhythmic manner.

Each bench is decorated with lanterns, and the lanterns are painted with their favorite patterns of flowers, trees, birds, etc.

Since each lantern is painted according to one's own preferences, the patterns of the more than ten lanterns are different, and the candlelight is lit inside the lantern to form a long lamp.

They stepped on the accompaniment drums, twisted their bodies, and from time to time made a professional body such as two dragons grabbing pearls, yellow dragons wearing flowers, two dragons playing in the water, golden cicadas shedding their shells, and yellow dragons coiling their bodies, which immediately made countless applause.

It was the first time that the guests of the Western Regions had seen this kind of bench dragon, which could not be seen in the usual market, and only the large-scale gathering scene in the evening could be seen occasionally.

Most of the guests were whispering to them, and the more dragons on the folk bench, the more magnificent the scene.

It is said that the maximum number of people can reach two or three hundred, a dragon from the beginning to the end, to be connected by many benches, between the boards with a wooden stick, each stick is held by a person, at that time the real power of the bench dragon is revealed.

Hearing this, Mahdi shouted in the noise: "Oh my Allah, it's hard to imagine the shock of a long fire dragon under that grandeur!" ”

Mi Rui nodded and smiled: "Yes, that requires a lot of space, but it's a pity that our space here is too small!" ”

Mahdi shouted loudly and clapped with the crowd, and the neat applause of hundreds of people alone was enough to set the mood higher and higher.

Seeing the momentum, the artists also got up one after another, inviting more guests to follow them into it, following the dragon dance queue, around the largest bonfire in the middle, circling in circles, it seems that as soon as the banquet opens, it will reach the peak of the atmosphere.

I have to say that these artists know how to create an atmosphere very well, and they grasp the right proportion, which does not affect the performance, but also makes the atmosphere of the venue high.

At the same time, the aroma of meat on each grill is also billowing out, which makes everyone feel more emotional.

After the bench dragon is from Yan Zhao's unique trick to play steel forks, stainless iron steel forks, the whole body is bright, and there are iron rings on the forks, which make a loud noise.

A strong man over seven feet tall with bare arms, a leopard skin around his waist, and soap boots on his feet, showing his corrugated tendon flesh, and a shiny steel fork danced around the tendon.

But seeing the eyebrow-high three-pointed steel fork flying up and down, sometimes kicking up two stories high, sometimes catching it with its back or neck and automatically circling around, it is very thrilling, exciting, dazzling, and dizzying.

This is not a showcase, it is an authentic worship of the door, practiced in the wind and rain, and for a while, the cang long roared, like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, which attracted a group of applause.

There are also routines for wielding steel forks, such as stunts such as crosses draped red, jade belt horizontal waist, Su Qin's back sword, one move, one retreat and one advance; It is also literary and martial, and it is also harmonious; Tepid, unhurried, and stunning.

I don't know when, a ten-year-old child brought by a guest from the Western Regions ran to the side of the field, and when he opened his hand, he threw a small pocket to the artist, and the sound in it was silver as soon as he heard it.

The brother in the field, at a glance in his eyes, was even more excited, and immediately danced a fork to the extreme, with silver flashes and sharp forks, and suddenly the fork flew high, and suddenly the fork fell between his arms.

Li Zhi knew that this was the little guy recruited by Mahdi with his open hand, and these people from the Western Regions had been shopping around various markets every day in recent days.

Every time I see the highlights of the artists, the copper plates that I exchanged in advance are thrown away, and it is very beautiful for a few days.

This is that there is no ready-made copper plate at hand, and the silver is directly rewarded, which has attracted countless pieces of scattered silver, and they have learned to throw them into the entrance.

Li Zhi's mind turned, turned around and found the old proprietor who was crowded in front of the hall to watch the excitement, and followed into the room with a few words.

In a short time, dozens of small cloth bags had appeared in his hand, all of which contained more than a dozen taels of silver.

This is for the guests, since they are happy, Li Zhi is also willing to cooperate, the New Year, just want to be happy.

After coming, he didn't forget to summon Pingwa and asked him to send two to Fang Cai's bench dragon.

Although these people have been paid by the government, rewarding artists is their inherent way of survival, and with this extra income, they will only be given without reservation.
