Chapter 1013: An Extremely Elegant Incident (Part II)

Five days before the solution test, Zhao Xing took Cheng Xia and Cheng Shuang to Fucheng to deal with the solution test. He carried half a shipload of wine and half a shipload of mountain goods with the ship, and seemed a little satisfied.

The two students, who were only in their teens, were selected from a number of students to participate in the examination, and they could not stop showing off, they wore Xiucai's long shirts, proudly puffed up their little chests, and kept walking from the bow to the stern, from the stern to the bow, and at the same time, they also tried to cough loudly to the pedestrians who could not see their faces clearly on both sides of the strait.

The pride of the children was in Zhao Xing's eyes, and he did not stop the children from showing off, but with encouraging eyes, he indulged like a pampered parent.

Inventory of Zhao Xing's gains in the past two years: the year before last, his students learned to weave bamboo baskets; Last year, I learned to burn pottery; This year, every household has learned to brew moonshine and opened up new trade routes......

This breakthrough in just this year has made Zhao Xing's identity change greatly. Under Cheng Jiaao's interpretation, he became the quasi-son-in-law surnamed Cheng, and in the new integration of Cheng Jiaao's forces, he became the "second elder" of the village who not only represents the foreign surname but also has the identity of the mother family surnamed Cheng (son-in-law, with daughter), and the Cheng family calls it: "Zhao Daguanren", or "Zhao Xiucai", "Zhao Fuzi".

At this time, the river was rushing, and Zhao Xing was independent of the bow of the boat, and his heart was full of joy......

The master who drove the boat was still the old man Huo Xiaoyi that Zhao Xing had met before. After staying in Chengjiaao for half a year, he simply moved his son and daughter-in-law to the village, and now the eldest grandson is two years old, waiting to enter Zhao Xing's school to study when he is older, so he is very stubborn to Zhao Xing along the way. deliberately warmed the pot of wine in the cabin, and added new hot water to Zhao Xing from time to time.

The half-cabin wine on board belonged to the better quality wine in the village, and most of it was made by Zhao Xing. The wines are served in fine clay bottles, twenty-four bottles in one basket.

When sailing through Xishui County, the boat did not stop, and at noon that day, Zhao Xing took the child into Huangzhou.

This is a set of five rooms connected to open up a large courtyard, since Zhao Xing planned to participate in the state capital's solution test, Cheng Tong according to Zhao Xing's requirements, bought these five rooms in the city, and then opened it up to form a large courtyard. It is not far from the wharf, and nominally this house will be used as a foothold for Cheng Jiaao candidates in Fucheng. In fact, it was also a warehouse – used to store the goods sold by the Cheng people to Fuzhou......

After a little freshening, Zhao Xing took two students to visit the governor of Huangzhou. Naturally, the door bag is indispensable for visiting the government personnel, Zhao Xing's stepping stone is thick enough, and after Zhizhou got the report from the concierge, he did not delay for a moment to meet him in the hall.

Huangzhou Zhizhou's surname is Xu Mingdashou, the word Junyou, 61 years old this year. After meeting, he asked in embarrassment: "You said that you are this year's exam-takers - the autumn exam is coming, and I am afraid that you and I will be suspected of being melons and plums when we meet...... However, since you say that you are not here for the exam, you should not talk about the autumn exam. ”

Zhao Xing bowed and replied without being arrogant or humble: "Students don't come for exams, just for good wine, and ask to see the mansion." ”

Listening to Zhao Xing's words, Xu Dashou's body relaxed, waved his hand very pretentiously, and said, "It's a fool's errand." ”

Zhao Xing opened the wine baskets one by one, took a sample bottle from each basket, and arranged them in a row on the floor in front of him, he looked at the wine bottle in front of him with satisfaction, as if he was reviewing his own soldiers. Then he replied: "Master Jun, according to the records of "Qi Min's Technique", the students have several kinds of newly brewed wines, and the autumn wine is made, and after opening the cellar, they feel that the taste is excellent, but the students are only shallow in learning, and they can't think of a good name to add color to the wine." It is rumored in the countryside that the poetry of the Lord Jun is surging, so the students came with fine wine, hoping to make the Jun taste and give him a name. ”

Elegance!

This thing is too elegant, Xu Zhizhou straightened his body and raised his hand: "Please!" Drink, please! ”

The Song Dynasty was the most wild era of scholars, and after Song Taizu set up a family motto of "ruling the world with scholars" to his descendants, the Song Dynasty did not raise a butcher's knife to scholars. In the end, the scholars criticized the emperor in person, and even made the emperor unable to come down, but he was still fine.

What do the wild scholars like to do—drink the best wine, hold the most beautiful women, write the most gorgeous poems, and pursue the most perfect life...... In such an environment, it is an honor for someone to make a good wine and ask it to be named, and if the wine is good, the person who named it can even be famous for thousands of years.

This is the most elegant form of bribery, and turning bribery into a very elegant event is the basic skill of a modern salesman. In other words: Zhao Xing is using his sales knowledge to bully the ancients, and he is bullying very elegantly. For example, Xu Zhizhou enjoys this kind of "bullying" very much. He lowered his head and looked at the six bottles on the floor one by one.

The orange wine has been said before, so I won't talk about it here. Peach kernel wine, the shape of the wine bottle is a monkey holding a longevity peach in both hands; Pear wine, the shape of the bottle is simply a pear; Hawthorn wine is the shape of a fairy scattering flowers; The shape of Fenjiu and Maixiang is simple, similar to the shape of modern Moutai bottles, but the bottles are slightly slender and taller than modern wine bottles.

At that time, Xu Zhizhou was leaning on the couch, Zhao Xing was kneeling on the floor, and when he heard the command, Zhao Xing pressed his knees with both hands, bowed respectfully and said: "You need good utensils to drink this wine, preferably a white porcelain cup...... Also drink tea, preferably vegetarian tea without spices. ”

Literati just like to complicate simple things.

Hearing Zhao Xing talk about drinking so complicated, Xu Zhizhou became more and more solemn, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Come on, take my Dingyao white porcelain tribute cup, call for victory, sing and dance, and fight tea"

Soon, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a cute double-ringed mustache came running in. She didn't feel timid at all, as soon as she walked in, she was full of childlike innocence by Xu Zhizhou's side, however, her demeanor and demeanor were not made by children, she used Wu Nong's soft language very ambiguously, twittering to ask Xu Zhizhou for something, Zhao Xing listened intermittently, as if a waiter surnamed Yan got something from Xu Zhizhou and she didn't, so she had to let Xu Zhizhou give her a copy.

The arrival of the little girl eased the atmosphere of the scene, and the meeting became less solemn, but it seemed to be more in line with the fashion of the time - light fur and strap, no shoes. Smoke and clouds, water vapor, wind and self-appreciation...... In this minute, the world is left with itself. Everything goes straight to the heart, transcendent and extraordinary.

Out of courtesy, Zhao Xing only raised his eyes and swept it when the girl came in, and now, stopping the soft whispers in his ear, he felt that the face full of innocence was a little disgusting when he got together with Xu Zhizhou's orange peel old face. Listening to the tone, this little girl who didn't smile or speak was actually a wife and concubine of the old man, and Rao is Zhao Xing's cheeks were thick enough, and she was still a little displeased.

The little girl had enough trouble, and the old man promised to give her a gift, and the girl named Katsuyuki sat down, and immediately looked like a landscape painting, ethereal and elegant. She skillfully fiddles with a few tea cups, and methodically completes the tea ceremony with a flowing smile on her face.

The tea soup was boiling, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of tea leaves, and the faint heat in the teacup was wafting to the sky, and a green-robed old man, a yellow-clothed virgin, and white-robed Zhao Xing sat in the empty hall...... In the picturesque scene, Zhao Xing followed the steps, moving slowly but with a strong sense of ease, elegantly opening the spout of the orange wine and slowly pouring the wine into the white porcelain cup of the Dingyao kiln - skillful, like a waiter in a high-end Western restaurant.

This is pouring wine into a wine glass! On the one hand, Zhao Xing sighed in his heart: "All the Song people are millionaires...... Look, such a fixed kiln cup, let Sotheby Auction House come to the price, how can it get 200,000 US dollars. But now, I'm ......"

The orange-red liquor gently ripples in the white porcelain glass, and the air is filled with the fragrance of oranges.

Before the wine glass was handed to Xu Zhizhou, he had already smelled the aroma, squinted his eyes, and said intoxicatedly: "Good wine!" ”

Zhao Xing looked at the wine glass with regret on his face, and said apologetically: "It's a pity that there is no glass cup, if this wine is put into the glass cup, the appearance will look like a red glow, like amber, adding more beauty to the wine, and drinking it will be like pecking Qiong Yao swallowing morning dew......"

"How can everything go well", Xu Zhizhou said this, and his attitude eased a lot. He had decided that he needed to give the wine a good name anyway - just by smelling the aroma and looking at the appearance, the wine was already of the highest quality.

After drinking the wine, Xu Zhizhou closed his eyes and tasted it for a long time, but he couldn't think of the right words to describe its luscious sweetness.

couldn't think of it, covering his face with wine, Xu Zhizhou pointed to the wine bottle and drank, "Come again." ”

Zhao Xing didn't go to get the wine bottle, he picked up the teacup and asked Xu Zhizhou for tea with a natural attitude. Xu Zhizhou paused for a moment and did so. But he was anxious, drank half a cup of tea in one gulp, turned his head to look, and found that Zhao Xing had not swallowed the tea, he was rinsing his mouth with tea very elegantly.
