Chapter Thirty-Nine: Fighting for Wine
Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile: "You stupid boys, don't be deceived by him, let's be honest with you, don't talk about you, even your horses can't drink him, he is really not drunk with a thousand cups." ”
Ji Chang said with a smile: "Ho, Lord Zhou, you look down on us, there are also thousands of brocade guards who are not drunk." Sun Wu, it's time for you to show your ability. ”
"My lord, Sun Wu is here." A lieutenant stepped forward.
"Yes, you have fun with the adults." Ji Chang finally showed a smug look.
"Order!".
Sun Wu walked up to him, bowed down and said, "My lord, I am ordered to accompany my lord to have fun." ”
Besides, he said with a smile: "No courtesy, you are an opponent than wine, put your mind at ease first, there is no such thing as adults and subordinates, only opponents." Ji Chang, he doesn't have to be on duty today. ”
"Yes, sir." Ji Chang bowed and said.
When they saw this posture, everyone was excited. Besides, the small body doesn't look like a person who can drink, and the people of Jinyiwei have a psychological advantage, but they also know that people can't look good, and it's hard to say how much alcohol they drink.
Generally speaking, the fight for wine is still the body, the first fight is the stomach, the first must be able to hold, the second must be able to withstand alcohol, which requires a strong body to carry out rapid metabolism, so the younger the body, the better, the higher the amount of alcohol, unless it is a person who is allergic to alcohol.
"The amount of bowls and bowls is not interesting, you can just say, you can drink a few jars at most." And he pointed to the jar of wine.
Zhou Dingcheng hurriedly said: "Don't, this is all fine wine, you can't let it be ruined, if you want to fight wine, use the wine on the market." These are all more than 20 years old, so let's save them and taste them slowly. ”
"More than twenty years?"
Ji Chang and the others have straight eyes, they are all good drinkers, as long as they are not on duty and not on duty in the palace, they always get together to drink. Ten years of aging wine is drunk ten times eight times a year, and someone has to invite it, otherwise you can't afford to drink it.
How much silver is a jar of more than 20 years of aging, and the drunkards' eyes are shining one by one, and they are beginning to laugh.
The Ming Dynasty had the custom of folk winemaking, and aging was not too rare, but the amount of wine brewed by small folk workshops was limited, generally self-produced and sold, and rarely flowed to the market.
"Ji Chang, these two jars are fifty years old, and the Lord has the heart to leave them for you." Zhou Dingcheng pointed to two of the wine jars with particularly dark colors.
"Thank you, sir."
Ji Chang really wanted to bring this wine home, one jar and his family to taste it slowly, and the other jar had to invite some relatives and friends to enjoy it, which could be regarded as a kind of boasting, but unfortunately it didn't work, the nominal gift to him had to be shared with his brothers.
There is also wine in Jinyiwei's ration, which is the ration for winter, and it is gone in other seasons. Unlike the fact that there are wine rations in all seasons.
More than a dozen wrestlers brought six jars of wine to ration, all of which were ordinary old wines bought on the market.
Besides, he slapped open the mud seal of a wine jar, and then picked up the wine jar and began to drink.
Everyone's eyes widened and they held their breath, looking at him quietly, it is not uncommon to drink wine and drink big bowls, and I have never seen anyone blowing the jar directly.
Besides, he drank a jar of wine in one go, and then turned the mouth of the jar upside down, and sure enough, not a drop of wine came out, and then he gently put the jar of wine on the table and said with a smile: "Sun Wu, it's your turn." ”
Sun Wu is a little stupid, he can indeed drink better than others, and he is also quite famous in the entire Jinyiwei, but he has never drunk like this. Besides, he was a little frightened when he greeted him.
"Sun Wu, what do you see, drink, the adults have finished drinking." Ji Chang felt bad, but he couldn't admit defeat directly.
"That's it, Sun Wu, don't pretend to be a grandson, drink quickly, this is a military order." The people next to him also began to urge, all of them were not afraid of the chaos when they watched the excitement.
Sun Wu had no choice but to pick up the wine jar and start drinking, his drinking appearance was not as chic and clean as it was, and the wine dripping from his mouth dripping from his mouth was soaking wet.
"Alas, it's a waste." Zhou Dingcheng frowned and smacked his lips.
Ji Chang and the others felt that their faces were scornful, there was no way, drinking wine with a jar, and drinking it as clean and without dripping wine as drinking it from a bowl, it really couldn't be done.
"How much can adults drink, you can give you a thorough idea." A general flag slipped up to Zhou Dingcheng and whispered.
Zhou Dingcheng said: "How much? There is no bottom. Got it. ”
"Bottomless?"
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. There's no bottom to the amount of alcohol, how can this be compared.
"Silly boys, I told you that you didn't believe it, but now you know that it's amazing, right?" Zhou Dingcheng smiled proudly.
Sun Wu changed his breath for more than ten breaths before he finished drinking a jar of wine, and then his body was a little weak and swaying, and his neck gradually oozed pink.
"That's what you call a thousand cups of not getting drunk?" Moreover, he looked at Ji Chang with some suspicion.
"This ...... My lord, that's just a metaphor, he can really drink such a jar usually. Ji Chang was a little embarrassed.
Everyone couldn't help but be discouraged, and the wine was not so hard, and it was blowing the jar when it came up, not to mention the wine, even if it was cold water, it couldn't be drunk.
"My lord, I haven't lost yet." Sun Wu straightened up and said.
"Okay, then go ahead."
Besides, he took another wine jar, slapped open the mud seal, and drank it all in one gulp like last time.
"Sun Wu, admit defeat." Ji Chang hurriedly shouted.
"No, my lord, I still want to try."
Sun Wu is very stubborn, he first stood firm on the table, and then thought about adjusting his breathing, patted the mud seal as if it was worse, picked up the wine jar and began to drink, this time it was not as good as the last time, when he was halfway through the drink, his hand was soft, the wine jar fell to the ground with a bang, fell to pieces, and Sun Wu himself also fell on the table all of a sudden.
Two wrestlers came up to support Sun Wu, and then looked at Sun Wu's eyes, and the person was already drunk to death.
Besides, he came over and stuffed the two pills into Sun Wu's mouth, and then said, "Help him go back to the house and sleep, he will be able to completely sober up in two hours." This is my own hangover cure. ”
"My lord still has hangover cure?" A general flag shouted.
"yes. I'm a doctor, and now I'm also a royal doctor, you don't know. ”
Ji Chang and the others looked at each other, they really didn't know yet.
Besides, when he came to the capital, the starting point was too high, and he was the commander of Jilu and Zhang Juzheng's staff all of a sudden, and the eyes of ordinary people were staring at these two identities, but few people knew about the imperial doctor.
"Adults can also heal?" A small flag exclaimed.
"Does he know how to heal? Let's put it this way, all the imperial doctors in the capital have a ranking, and he can always get into the top three, which is still a modest statement. Zhou Dingcheng pouted.
"My lord, you are both a genius and an imperial doctor, is there anything else you can't do?" Ji Chang smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I can't ride a horse, but I'll practice one day, and then I'll compete with you." Besides.
"Yes, my lord, you better leave two things for the lowly ones, you can't take them all." A small flag shouted.
"What's the matter, I'm afraid I'll rob you of your job?" Besides.
The crowd burst into laughter, but they were now convinced. In their minds, besides, he is a mysterious character, and he feels very easy-going when he comes into contact with it, but when he comes into contact with it, he finds that it is wrong, and the sense of mystery is even stronger.
The first is particularly rich, and generous, 10,000 taels of silver will be taken out to reward people, there are many people in the capital who can take out 10,000 taels of silver, but there are not many people who can reward people like this.
Second, there is actually a master of the Ouchi guard level as a bodyguard, and he is still a woman, and now he finds that he has no bottom of the drink, and there is actually another identity imperial doctor.
What is the imperial doctor, it is for the emperor and the ladies to treat diseases, the grade of the imperial doctor is not high, but the status is superior, no one dares to offend, it is said that people eat grains, who does not have a disease? If you can invite the imperial doctor to treat the disease, it is a great blessing, but unfortunately they don't have this blessing, it is the military doctor who treats them, and the medical skills are also very good, but it is still not comparable to the imperial doctor.
Now the imperial doctor is not like the beginning of the country, if you don't get it right, the emperor will be beheaded, and now even the emperor and the ladies respect the imperial doctor, and the disease is cured and rewarded, and if you can't cure it, you can only blame your own life for not being good, but you can't cure the sin of the imperial doctor, after all, the emperor also pays attention to civilized governance.
"My lord, you are already the imperial doctor, why are you still our commander?" Ji Chang asked with a smile.
"Where do I know, you ask the emperor to go." Besides, he spread his hands.
"This ...... The last general really can't do it. Ji Chang smiled bitterly, he asked the emperor? He couldn't even get through the door of the inner court.
The crowd burst into laughter again.
"Without further ado, I've drunk two jars now, is there anyone else who wants to continue drinking?" And loudly.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one answers, no one dares to take advantage of this advantage.
If you don't fight so hard, this is a wheel war, but can you win a wheel war? If more than 100 people come up to the wheel battle, maybe there is still a possibility of winning, but then it will be shameless? Is that still called a fight?
"My lord, don't fight, let's admit defeat." Ji Chang quickly admitted defeat.
"That's good, you continue to drink slowly, newcomers, don't be in a hurry to be on duty, I've always been calm here, nothing will happen." Besides, he went out with Zhou Dingcheng.
"You're a good dismounter, you have established your authority and don't hurt your peace." Back in the main hall, Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile.
"This is a group of thorns, if you can subdue their hearts, you can use them for your own use, if you can't subdue their hearts, it will be a trouble to rely on military law alone sooner or later." Besides, he sat down in a chair and said.
He is deliberate, since the emperor gave him a team, if he can't completely subdue it, it means that he is incompetent, he is not up to the task, and he will lose.
He saw all this as playing chess against the emperor, not wanting to win, because he couldn't win at all, but he had to do his own work and couldn't be eaten inexplicably.
For him, if he can continue to survive in the capital without having to flee overseas, he is considered a winner.
Although it was not the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, it had been peaceful for a long time, and there was no famine, flood and drought. For ordinary people, although it is not easy to survive, they can always survive, but for him, it is the opposite, and disasters can happen at any time.
