Chapter 59 A pot of wine is hard to sell

In the tea shop, the voices of the people are boiling, the scribe in the long shirt is waving a paper fan in his hand, his mouth is like a river, his tongue is like a spring, and his tone is subdued and frustrated under the spitting float, and he speaks a wonderful way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"That day, it was the wind and the moon washing the long hook, and the snow had not yet arrived, but the horse's hooves were wrapped in frost......"

Speaking of this, the storyteller deliberately paused, and saw that the noise around him had subsided a lot, and understood that his work of deliberately whetting people's appetite had become more and more free, and he was about to shake off the paper fan and make a chic movement, but he heard a call in the distance, "Brother Juhe, the drunken fairy Mantangchun, quickly follow me and wait, it's late, but there will be no mouth!" ”

Hearing this, the storyteller immediately pulled out his legs and was about to walk out, walked a few steps, and turned around and arched his hand to the people in the tea shop who were still a little stunned, "I have to take a step forward if there is something next, I want to know what will happen next, and I will decompose it next time." ”

After the storyteller left, the people sitting in the tea shop came back to their senses, and there was no follow-up to the place where they arose, as if they had smelled the tempting aroma, but they could not see the delicious food, and their hearts were naturally scratching tightly.

Without the pleasure of listening to book reviews, the idle and boring people picked up their cups again and drank a few sips of herbal tea, and those who were anxious scolded a few words angrily. Later, I said a few words indiscriminately, and unconsciously, the words I said were inseparable from the words 'drunken fairy' and 'full hall of spring'.

"How can I know about Zhang Xiaoquan, the shopkeeper of the drunken fairy? was originally a side branch of the 'Zhang Ji' tea shop on Wangping Street, and he was beaten and scolded all day long, and he didn't know where the green smoke came out, so he opened a shop on 'Fenghe Street'. Although there are a lot of tricks, he is still a wine seller, and a small urn costs a hundred taels of silver, and he is really poor and crazy. ”

As he spoke, the shorter man with a roe deer's head snorted very disdainfully, took a sip of tea and continued, "In the end, it's just a child's play, fooling around!" In a few days, the drunken fairy will definitely be closed, and you are optimistic. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a light cough from the corner, "Seeing this person chewing the root of his tongue again, he didn't go to 'Fenghe Street' to take a look, and he made a lot of nonsense here, which is really ridiculous." ”

The roe-headed rat-eyed man who was waiting for the rest of the people to echo him was immediately angry, only to hear a snapping sound, the cup in his hand slammed on the wooden table, and stood up on the ground, "Who is not long-sighted to talk to your second uncle of the Xu family like this, is it impatient to live?" ”

The idle people in the tea shop who had nothing to do to pass the time, when they saw the dispute, they all stretched their necks to take a look at this lively and lively life, and even more good things squeezed their eyebrows at the roe deer-headed and rat-eyed man, and whispered flattery.

Seeing that everyone looked at him, the arrogance of this man surnamed Xu naturally rose a little more, and he was about to walk to the corner with his sleeves, planning to teach the blind one a lesson, the second child of his Xu family has been in this market for many years, who dares to contradict it in public?

shouted and strode towards the corner of the tea shop, but when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, Xu Er couldn't help but feel weak in his legs, and almost fell to the ground, and only after a while did he step forward with a smile on his face, "It turned out to be Qu Da Steward, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, what happened just now, don't take it to heart." ”

In front of him, the chubby old man sitting at the table drinking tea was not the chief steward of Prime Minister Du's family, who would be?

This Xu Er can be so arrogant, but he is just relying on his brother to be in charge of the side house in a foreigner's house, where can this be compared with the person in front of him, seeing that Qu Guan did not speak, cold sweat began to break out on his pitted face, and he actually reached out and slapped his mouth.

"That's it, the old man is not a ruthless person, and he couldn't help but speak out when he listened to the laughing drunk fairy shopkeeper before, and in the future, you still need to remember that seeing is believing, and don't mess around right and wrong, otherwise won't you be laughed at?"

As he spoke, the white and fat hand of the steward wiped on the silk handkerchief, took out the broken silver from his arms and threw it on the table, "The old man has to go, that drunken fairy owner is really interesting, he only sells ten urns a day, but he can't delay, if he returns home empty-handed again, he will have to be miserable!" ”

With a few little guys, Steward Qu hurriedly walked out, and when he left, the tea shop suddenly exploded, and Xu Er walked out with a gray face, without looking back, losing face, naturally to avoid the ridicule behind him.

There is hatred in his heart, but how dare he hold a grudge against the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Secretly slandered a few words, Xu Er couldn't help but think of the matter of the drunken immortal, could it be true that as the Qu steward said, there was a lot of good things in it, otherwise how could the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion not be able to buy an urn of wine?

Curious, he immediately walked towards 'Fenghe Street', and when he got there, it was only half an hour, and he saw that the little boys were wiping the wooden door columns, and it was obvious that this was going to close.

On the side of the street outside the drunken immortal building, a number of carriages were parked, all of them were beautifully dressed, Xu Er, who had lived in Jialing City for half his life, recognized it, and couldn't help but cover his mouth in amazement.

Among those carriages, the most unfortunate one was also from the Ministry of Rites, Cui Shangshufu.

What is going on, and how has it changed so much?

A few days ago, he also came to see that at that time, the business of the drunken immortal was bleak, but it was just a few days of hard work, and the situation was completely different, and for a while, Xu Er actually felt that his brain was a little confused.

And judging from the dejected look on the steward's face, most of them are going to return empty-handed, what kind of situation is this? Xu Er felt more and more strange in his heart, Shang Shulang was a member of the imperial court, Zhang Xiaoquan dared not to sell wine to him, could it be that there was a backer behind him?

If a person is curious, he is out of control.

After thinking about it, Xu Er decided not to go to the teahouse restaurant to do the eating, drinking, and jokes, and squatted next to the drunken fairy, he must find out what happened, if the inconspicuous Zhang Xiaoquan was really prosperous, he could also go to ask for a good job.

After another half an hour, the vermilion gate of the drunken fairy slowly closed, and the little boys left together, Xu Er looked up at the sun that was still in the sky, and couldn't help but scold resentfully, "It's just that Shen Shi is closed, and this business really doesn't want to be done......"

Speaking of this, Xu Er remembered the previous scene, swallowed the words stiffly, kicked a stone at his feet, and said very resentfully, "It's so bizarre, there must be something that can't be seen, so let the second master of the Xu family find out the truth and falsehood." ”

was jealous, Liu Xi and the others who were drunk in the fairy naturally didn't know, at this moment, the shop was closed, and only a few of them were left in the upstairs private room drinking a full house of spring that was hard to buy, chatting with red faces.

After a while, a few crisp knocks came, and after a while, Zhang Xiaoquan walked in with an excited look and a brocade box, and put it in front of Liu Xi very respectfully, "Childe, the wine money for the past three days is here." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoquan opened the brocade box, only to see a piece of silver-white things, and the sunlight leaking in from the wooden window not far away shone on it, which was even more dazzling.

For three days, ten urns a day, one hundred taels and one urn, here is naturally three thousand taels of silver.

Such a lot of silver money was placed on the table, but no one looked at it, Liu Xi was still looking out the window with a white porcelain cup, as if he was looking at the passers-by, and Ma Xiu and others pushed the cup to change the cup to drink, and the most concerned was that there was still a little wine left in the urn.

In such a scene, Zhang Xiaoquan couldn't help but secretly admire, three thousand taels of silver was just a casual thing in the eyes of Gongzi and others, and the elegance between gestures was full of elegance, and this kind of bearing once again subverted the pursuit in his heart.

Once, Zhang Xiaoquan just wanted to make a few pennies and buy his mother a crispy and tender boy chicken from Old Man Wu's house on the street.

Later, he met Liu Xi and lived in a clean courtyard that he didn't dare to imagine, without worrying about food and clothing. At that time, Zhang Xiaoquan, who woke up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep, thinking about how to repay the kindness, and also thinking about trying to do something, so that he could raise his head and be a man from now on, raise his eyebrows, and make those who laughed at him pay the price.

And now, Zhang Xiaoquan only feels that no amount of money can buy the ** state of these real names in front of him, and in the bottom of his heart, he has an inexplicable impulse, maybe it is a fool's dream, or he doesn't know his strength, but as long as he is unswerving, who can say that he can't do this?

There was more surging passion in his bones, and Zhang Xiaoquan straightened his waist slightly.

"Yusheng, embroidery is a five-body throw to the ground that you admire, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all comprehensible, and the martial arts are even more shocking, and now it is brewing such a good wine, and the big officials can only wait obediently for the big officials who buy and sell, I really can't think of anything wrong with you."

Ma Xiu pursed his lips, said, drank another glass of wine, and sighed very bitterly, "God is really unfair, since it is embroidery, how can it be born?" ”

Even if everyone couldn't help laughing at his appearance, Liu Xi, who retracted his gaze, even laughed and scolded him, but he didn't expect this drunken immortal to attract countless court officials. At the beginning, it was just for Zhang Xiaoquan to send Mantangchun to Prime Minister Du's mansion, who was quite fond of alcohol, but he didn't expect a storm to be set off on the second day.

It seems that the influence of aromatic wine is indeed underestimated.

Closing the brocade box, Liu Xi pushed it straight to the table, "Xiaoquan, this silver will be handed over to you to use, the brewing of Mantangchun can't be relaxed, of course, the secret can't be leaked." ”

After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Xiaoquan hurriedly said, "Childe, the brewing of Mantangchun is a person that Koizumi can trust, as for the steaming and other processes, Koizumi has dispersed it, and the most important thing is that I do it myself, and I can't make a mess if I think it's going to happen." ”

While speaking, Zhang Xiaoquan pushed the brocade box in front of Liu Xi, and said very uneasily, "Son, Xiaoquan doesn't dare to accept this silver money." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi smiled and shook his head, "Xiaoquan, this silver is for trading with you, the drunken immortal wants to make a rich and noble atmosphere, and the full spring wants to show a noble style, and it will be more convenient to leave some silver with you." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xiaoquan, who was blushing, nodded solemnly, and then remembered something later, so he asked softly, "Childe, today's Mantang Spring is in short supply again, and those stewards who have not bought it are quite subtle, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will be ......."

To be honest, Zhang Xiaoquan doesn't understand why Liu Xi only sells ten urns a day, those who buy wine are all from powerful families, and on weekdays, they will never look at him squarely, Zhang Xiaoquan doesn't dare to provoke, but Liu Xi said this, he can only deal with it.

"Xiaoquan, if you are greedy and lose too much, you can't ...... it."

Ma Xiu said softly, and then smiled with Liu Xi in a blur, "Rare things are expensive, everyone in the world understands this truth, but I am afraid that only Yusheng can use it so exquisitely." ”

"You guy, you talk so well, there must be other things that can't be done!"

Liu Xi glanced at him, and sure enough, he saw Ma Xiu's face change suddenly, and Chu Chu shook the wine urn pitifully, "Yusheng, after drinking, can you ......?"

With him, Xiaowu and Qu Lang made a pleading color in a tacit understanding, such a scoundrel appearance, Liu Xi couldn't help but laugh and scold, and Zhang Xiaoquan understood what he meant, trotted downstairs, and brought an urn of wine.

Immediately, the sound of laughter sounded again, Liu Xi raised his glass again and looked out the window, but he was thinking about what Zhang Xiaoquan said before, the tree is a big wind, it is time to follow the flames and find a backer for the drunken immortals.

The people do not fight with the officials, otherwise, it is very likely that the business of making money every day will be stumbling by people who are red-eyed.

Who to turn to?

An emaciated figure appeared in Liu Xi's mind, maybe he could go to the Tanglin Palace.
