Chapter 51: Bribery

"Boy, would you like to learn the scriptures with me?"

A faint sentence made Sun Yue overjoyed.

"Teacher go up again, please be bowed by the disciple."

There is still a big difference between the education in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty and the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, there are only more than 100 students in Taixue, almost all of them are the children of official eunuchs, and it can be said that it is difficult for civilians to enter Taixue to study, although there are many private schools in Kaifeng City, but most of them are just simple Mengxue, at most talk about the Analects, filial piety and the like, Sun Yue can basically be a gentleman if he goes.

Of course, the road for civilians to study has not been blocked, there is a Songyang Academy less than a hundred miles out of Kaifeng, which is also one of the four major academies in China, and there is a Suiyang Academy further south, but because it is too far from home, so I have to live in the school, although this is not a big deal for Sun Yue, but the academy does not dare to let such a young child come over, so Sun Yue has to wait at least five or six years if he wants to learn real skills.

And to be honest, the so-called Confucians in the academy are all empty talkers who sit and talk about the Tao, how can they be compared with important ministers like Wei Renpu, who came from a small official and became a prime minister step by step? Moreover, Wei Renpu is one of the best figures in the world in terms of reputation, ability and integrity, and if he can worship him, he is also a very rich political resource.

Wei Renpu smiled and said, "Boy, you have a great future, aren't you afraid that I, the remnant of the previous dynasty, will drag you down?" ”

"Don't be afraid."

Wei Renpu shook his head and sighed: "You are not afraid, but I am afraid, you are so smart at a young age, you are so smart at a young age, you are registered in the official family and the two kings, and you have a good relationship with the three kings, just waiting to be admitted to the imperial examination, and I will soon rise to the top, and I am a stubborn person who cares about the previous dynasty, maybe when you annoy that person, you will kill me, you worship me as a teacher." ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"In the future, you can come to my house from time to time to ask me for advice, and I will also leave you homework, but you don't want to apprentice, you are not my apprentice, and when you are in high school in the future, you will worship a teacher who can really protect you."

Is there a real name? . . .

Sun Yue tasted the product, it is indeed better like this, but in this way, no matter how good he is in the future, it has nothing to do with him in the eyes of outsiders, so it seems that this Wei Renpu is really a gentleman, and in this matter, there is almost zero return.

Thinking about it, Sun Yue bowed down and bowed, "The student meets Wei Xiang." ”

…………

The other side.

Sun Chunming took Zhao Guangmei, some good ingredients and wine, and went to Murong Mansion.

Zhao Guangmei said coquettishly: "Brother Murong." ”

Murong Yanqing also patted his head dotingly, greeted Sun Chunming and greeted them, and beckoned them to sit.

Speaking of which, Murong Yanqing and Zhao Guangmei are so familiar with each other, not entirely because Murong Yanzhao is an important minister, in fact, the Murong family and the Zhao family were originally world friends, Murong Yanzhao's father Murong Zhang and Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyi are very good brothers, the two families live very close, and the children of the two families are naturally very close, since childhood, these brothers of the Murong family have taken the younger brothers of the Zhao family to play together, and Zhao Kuangyin is no exception.

Because of such a relationship, under the recommendation of Zhao Guangmei, Sun Chunming and Murong Yanqing quickly became acquainted, Sun Chunming said: "I know that the general's family is extremely popular and there is nothing lacking, ordinary people, I want to thank General Murong for his righteous action today and can't come up with anything decent, only this cook's skills are still acceptable, I also specially brought some home-brewed wine, if the general does not dislike it, I will personally cook for the general to put a table of wine and food, how about a few drinks with the general?" ”

Zhao Guangmei said: "Brother Murong, Uncle Sun's cooking skills are very good, my second brother's family and the imperial chef in the palace all learned from him, but my uncle never cooks on weekdays, even if the second brother wants to eat, he can't eat it." ”

Murong Yanqing smiled when he heard this: "Brother has a heart, since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful." ”

"It should be, it should be."

After that, Sun Chunming took his things into the kitchen, got busy, and instructed the Murong family's cooks by the way.

The taste of the Song people is similar to Huaiyang cuisine, and they like to eat sweet, sour and crispy things, so after a while, Sun Chunming made a crab roe lion head, a pickled Du Xian, a big scalded dried silk, and a squirrel Guiyu, fried river shrimp, all of which were things that the Song Dynasty had never heard of.

After preparing the meal, he came out to see Murong Yanqing's wife and children, but he didn't see it, he went directly to the table and ate it, and while eating, he introduced the characteristics of the dishes with his hands.

took out the wine and introduced: "General Murong, this is a few kinds of small wine brewed at home, you can taste it, which one is more accustomed to drinking." ”

As he spoke, Sun Chunming took out his treasured wines, including the Song people's favorite sweet wine and rice wine, as well as some of his improved liquor and fruit wine, and even the rum and beer he had drummed out.

Murong Yanqing took a bite of food first, and then his eyes lit up, and he praised again and again: "Good, good, good, exquisite, really exquisite, brother's craftsmanship really didn't say." ”

took another sip of wine, first drank the liquor improved by Sun Yue, nine steamed and eighteen brewed, and it was all spewed out with a pop, and his eyes were burning red, but he still said: "This wine is so powerful." ”

"This wine is indeed strong, the general tastes this, this is also my exclusive craft, you can't drink it outside." As he spoke, Sun Chunming pushed the beer in front of Murong Yanqing.

In fact, the brewing of beer is not complicated, Sun Chunming also brewed it in his last life, hops in the Song Dynasty is not a difficult thing to buy, but the cost can not be reduced, and it cannot be brewed on a large scale, and the shelf life is very short only about ten days, so it can only be used by the restaurant itself, and it cannot be used to make a fortune.

Of course, this kind of simple brewed beer must not be compared with the later generations, but for these ancients, at least this novel taste made Murong Yanqing's eyes widen at once, and he drank a big bowl in one gulp, and praised it again and again.

"Brother, with this skill, why don't you open a restaurant!"

Sun Chunming smiled and said: "But I have this plan, I plan to take pictures of Fengle Building next month." ”

Murong Yanqing smiled: "Fengle Building? Good fellow, brother is generous, with his brother's craftsmanship and this wine, he will definitely have a lot of money in the future! ”

"But there was a reluctant request."

"Oh? Brother though. ”

"It's because this Fengle Building is a big deal, so I've been a little nervous at hand recently, I don't know if Brother Murong has any money to spare, invest a little in it, it can be regarded as a favor for the next favor, and use 30% of Fengle Lou in exchange for 100,000 yuan?"

"Brother means ... Want me to take a stake? ”

"Yes."

"Hiss ~ this ......"

Murong Yanqing couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, in fact, as the tallest building in Kaifeng, Fengle Building is worth 1 million or hundreds of thousands of yuan, 100,000 yuan for 30% of the shares, and he doesn't care about sitting on the ground and sharing dividends, to be honest, this is not called borrowing money, this is called bribery, no wonder this Sun brother is cooking and taking wine today, he believes that with this wine and food alone, 100,000 guan may be able to return to the cost in a few months.

However, now that their family is already a very popular minister, he really doesn't care much about money, on the contrary, he is even more afraid that others will catch their handles, so after hesitating for a while, he plans to refuse.

But just as he was about to speak, he heard a sick voice behind him and said: "Brother Sun is really good, 100,000 yuan for 30 percent of Fengle Lou's share, but our family has taken advantage, in this way, my Murong family will be disrespectful, if there is any trouble in the future, you can come to my second brother." ”

Murong Yanqing turned her head in horror, "Great... Big brother? ”

When Sun Chunming heard this, he hurriedly stood up and saluted solemnly, but saw that the person who came was wearing a very thick fox skin shoulder, his face was sallow, his eyes were deep-set, and he looked like he was smoking a big cigarette, and he had to cough twice when he took two steps, as if the windbreaker would fall when he blew people.

The first soldier in the world, above 10,000 people under one person, all the palaces are inspected, in the service, Murong Yanzhao!
