When Guo Jia and Zhao Yun came in, Gao Ye was still chatting happily with Zuo Ci. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info they didn't talk about any allusions and books, but Gao Ye was asking Zuo Ci about what he had seen and heard along the way. Zuo Ci is also a talkative person, he does not refuse to ask questions about the night, and his wisdom is better than his insight, and he analyzes many problems and penetrates them.

After the routine of introducing each other, the feast officially began. After all, it is still in the period of filial piety, and it is not appropriate to put on a feast, so today's meals are very simple, but the type of dishes is greatly ahead of this era of only steaming and barbecue. Today's banquet is full of stir-fried vegetables. Since Gao Ye brought stir-fry back to this era, the people in the whole house have a soft spot for stir-frying, and Gao Ye has made various tricks for the dishes by virtue of his foodie essence in later generations, but the chef is the chef in the end, and after learning Gao Ye's recipes, invention and creation have become their biggest hobby.

This kind of meal is already commonplace for Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, but for Zuo Ci, this kind of meal is too rare, and the rich aroma makes Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan swallow several mouthfuls of water. However, when the wine prepared by Gao Ye was opened, even Guo Jia swallowed several sips of saliva. His eyes were staring straight at the wine vessel.

When the wine was poured into the wine bottle in front of everyone, Gao Ye clearly felt Guo Jia's throbbing heart. That's right, for an alcoholic like Guo Jia, what could attract him more than fine wine?

As Gao Ye raised the wine bottle, announced the opening of the banquet, and toasted the first glass of wine with everyone, the entire lobby, except for Gao Ye, the other four people were coughing violently. After all, for a person like Gao Ye, who has been tortured by a high number of wines for more than ten years in later generations, this wine that is only forty degrees in the mouth is really nothing. But for people who can only drink light wine up to a dozen degrees, this wine is too strong.

However, after a violent cough, the four of them unanimously praised: "Good wine!" ”

"Big brother, you are really unkind, you have such a good wine, you didn't take it out earlier." Guo Jia looked at Gao Ye with a resentful expression, and then filled his wine bottle with wine.

"You've wronged me. This wine was also made by me, and Mr. Wujiao came to visit today, so I just brought it to you to taste. Mr. Wujiao, I don't know what you think of this wine? Gao Ye hurriedly changed the topic, otherwise let Guo Jia continue, I don't know what he went around, and what he had to get in in the end.

"This wine is the strongest wine Lao Tao has ever tasted. The entrance is spicy, the throat is like a steel knife, and the stomach is like a fire, but after drinking, it is all comfortable, sweet and fragrant, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary water wine. If it weren't for the heavy dryness, the wine would be far worse than it. However, it is bitter cold in the state, and this wine is just used to keep out the cold. ”

"It is said that this wine is buried in the ground to remove dryness, and the longer it is buried, the more mellow it becomes. It's a pity that this wine has only been brewed for a short time, alas, if the two Taoist masters come back in ten years, they will definitely be able to taste even better wine. Gao Ye smiled.

"That's okay, I'll come back in ten years, you can't turn me away." Zuo Ci also smiled.

When a banquet entered Zuo Ci drunk, it came to an end, and among the five people at the banquet, only Gao Ye was not very interested in such a wine, and the other four people were drinking it for the first time.

Gao Ye ordered to go down and let the servants send all four of them back to their rooms to rest, and he himself returned to his room to prepare for a rest. Although there is no more violent reaction, dizziness is not a good thing.

When Gao Ye woke up, the sun was already in the west, and at this time Gao Ye remembered that there was still the package brought by Cai Yongtuo Zuoci, which had not yet been opened. I don't know what's inside, but looking at the weight, I'm afraid it's a book with a greater probability. Gao Ye immediately got up, washed his face, and went to the study, and the package had already been placed on Gao Ye's table by the housekeeper.

Gao Ye opened the package, and sure enough, it was a stack of books, plus two letters. Gao Ye picked up the letter and took a closer look, this one was written by Cai Yong, and the other one was actually Cai Yan's letter. Gao Ye thought about it, or opened Cai Yong's letter first, the letter didn't say anything particularly important, first introduced his current residence, and then talked about what he had done recently, and then focused on introducing his "Book of Music", saying that he had copied a copy by hand, and asked Gao Ye to put him in the library and collect it well.

After reading Cai Yong's letter, Gao Ye picked up the book, only to see the word "Book of Music" written on the cover of the book. Cai Yong has always loved music and rhythm, and his writing is brilliant, and he wants to come to this "Book of Music", either because of the ancient scores he collected, or because of the new songs he created. Gao Ye flipped a few pages at random, but he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, there was no him, but on a certain page, he saw the three big characters of "Guangling San".

Of course, later generations also have the score of "Guangling San" handed down, but they don't know whether it's true or not. The legend of this piece was originally depicted in the story of Nie Zheng's assassination of the King of Han, and the whole song is full of indignation and unyielding heroic spirit. And when it comes to this piece, the most famous performer is Ji Kang of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. And according to the "Book of Jin", this song was given by an ancient person when Ji Kang visited Luoxi. And the record in "Taiping Guangji" is even more magical, saying that Ji Kang stayed in Yuehua Pavilion at night, couldn't sleep at night, and sat up and stroked the piano. Because the sound of the piano was so elegant, it actually moved a ghost, who felt that Ji Kang's piano sound was beautiful and abnormal, so he passed "Guangling San" to Ji Kang, and even agreed with Ji Kang that he would not teach others to play this song. Later, Ji Kang was killed by Sima Zhao, and when he was about to be sentenced, he asked for a piano to play this song, and after playing the song, he sighed: "Yuan Xiaoni please learn this dispersion, I Jin Gu is not with me, "Guangling San" is now extinct!" "That is to say, there is a person named Yuan Zhun who wants to learn this song, but I don't teach it to him because I regret this song, but unfortunately, "Guangling San" is going to be extinct today! and then died generously, leaving behind a swan song for the ages.

It's just that I actually saw this song in Cai Yong's book today, and I can't say that the ancients that Ji Kang met when he was playing in Luoxi in the future were the people who got Cai Yong's "Book of Music". It's a pity that Cai Yong has a collection of 4,000 volumes, and when people die, these books don't know where they went. Think of Cai Yong's works handed down, "The gold is gravel, and the beads are muddy." Sigh slender, born in the humble. Pan Qian Shuli, Hao tooth moth eyebrows. Xuan is shining, and the collar is like a grub......" The famous "Tsing Yi Fu", which contains what sincere feelings and gorgeous rhetoric, is a pity, a pity.

Gao Ye put down the book and seemed to fall into a kind of sadness. Yes, Cai Yong died, and his book collection was almost lost. So what about the Wuhu Chaohua, the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, and how many brilliant cultures in China have dissipated in the dust of history?

I don't know how long it took for Gao Ye to come back to his senses from his fantasies. What's wrong with you? fell into this inexplicable contemplation again for no reason, isn't there still Cai Yan's letter that I haven't read. There is such a letter from such a beautiful woman waiting for herself, and she is still free to be sad, which is simply funny.

Cai Yan's letter is not as serious as Cai Yong, and what she says is all fun things, such as her father rescued a good piece of wood and made a piano; Or maybe her father took Keting's bamboo and made a flute; Or maybe it's something she saw in Jiangnan. Of course, they also complained to Gao Ye about the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as their heartaches that had no paper. Only at the end, he expressed his longing to Gao Ye.

Gao Ye read the letter, but also smiled, thinking that it is not good for Xiao Cai Yan to live in Jiangdong, tell yourself some interesting stories, and it is the story of his father Cai Yong's Jiaoweiqin and Ke Tingdi, it can be seen that she can be regarded as staying at home on weekdays. They also complained about the lack of paper, which shows that their father and daughter are financially constrained. Also, Zuo Bo's paper costs several dollars for a knife, and with the speed of paper that his father and daughter have cultivated in the high night, it is a hell to go outside without being struggling.

Looking at Cai Yan's strong longing for himself in his letter, Gao Ye's expression changed from smiling to yearning. Also, who can never forget this kind of thing about a beautiful woman without a trace of pride? Think about it, should I propose a kiss to Cai Yong?

Well, maybe we should send someone and give them some material assistance first. Gao Ye thought silently.

At this moment, the old butler came to report that the shopkeepers were waiting in the front hall, and asked the lord to go. Gao Ye responded to the call. In the front hall, I saw the three shopkeepers of my own house sitting in front of the hall again, and that awkward feeling appeared in Gao Ye's heart again.

What's wrong? Gao Ye asked himself.

After Gao Ye and everyone saluted and sat down, Gao Ye finally found out what was awkward! That is, there is no tea. In Gao Ye's previous life, when he came to the door as a guest or entertained guests, how could he not make tea? Even in various film and television dramas, tea is also served to guests. It's just that tea is not very popular now, and the Eastern Han Dynasty people drink tea is too wonderful, unlike later generations, boiling water is finished as soon as it is brewed, when people drink tea in this era, they not only have to grind the tea into powder, but also add cardamom, cloves and other spices to it, and even add lard, Gao Ye is really unable to receive this kind of tea with a strong taste, smelling disgusting, so he has always wanted to put fried tea on the agenda. This is also the reason why he asked his shopkeeper to go to Jiangnan to collect tea this time.

After sitting down, Lao Wu, who still went to Jiangnan, opened his mouth first: "Lord, when you asked me to go to Jiangnan, I collected fresh tea, and I received more than 200 catties of various teas, and now I put them all in the warehouse. ”

Gao Ye nodded with a smile and said, "Good work, old Wu." The matter of tea is not in a hurry, I found a method from ancient books, which can make new tea, and then I have to work for you to sell it. The main thing today is wine. Gao Ye said that, he asked each shopkeeper to bring a bowl of wine and motioned for everyone to taste it.

How can people living in a place like Wuyuan not have a bit of bravery? Before the three shopkeepers picked up the wine, they smelled the pungent aroma of the wine. Pick up the wine bowl and take a closer look, this wine is clear into the water, without a trace of variegation, gently shaken, the aroma of the wine is more intense. After drinking it all in one gulp, three people choked and coughed, but none of them spit out the wine in their mouths and swallowed it like this.

All three of them unanimously praised: "Good wine!" ”

"Guys, this is my new wine, what do you think?"

"Lord, this wine is very strong, into the throat and stomach like a fire, after drinking but the whole body is warm, according to the old man, in this land and state, even the Xiongnu and Qiang tribes, it must be very popular, but placed in Jiangnan and other places, it is not so hot to think about." Lao Zhang, a perennial merchant and a prairie, opened his mouth first, "If the lord wants to sell this wine, it should be mainly in the bitter cold land of the north." ”

"Yes, not only the grassland, but also the three places of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou, are all bitter cold places, the people are fierce, and they like spirits the most. As for the grassland, the Xiongnu and Qiang tribes also love spirits more than cattle and horses. Lao Zhu, a businessman in the Central Plains, said.

"Praised by the three shopkeepers, I am absolutely convinced of the fact that this wine makes money. This wine has a monthly output of only 300 catties, and it is buried in the ground, but in addition to the dryness in this wine, the longer it is buried, the more sweet the taste of this wine is, so there are three decisions on how to sell. Gao Ye said with a smile, "After all, as far as business is concerned, you are experts, and I, a layman, will not command blindly." ”

The three of them agreed, and then Gao Ye asked the three of them about the income of the businessman, and what they had seen and heard along the way. Then let Lao Zhu and Lao Zhang retreat first, leaving Lao Wu to speak.

"Mr. Wujiao came to the house today, and brought me a letter from Bo Jiaogong, Lao Wu, you are a businessman and the Jiangnan area, after all, you are familiar, I want you to send me two guys who are familiar with the road, I want to send some things to Bo Jiaogong, and there is a person to lead the way."

"Why should the lord be so troublesome? Straight to send it down, anyway, I also want to go to Jiangnan again, why bother others. ”

"Didn't you just come back, how could you go back without stopping? Go home to accompany your wife and children, rest and rest is serious. Gao Ye smiled.

"The lord doesn't have to worry about me, since the lord wants to prepare things for the uncle, then I don't think I'll leave tomorrow, I'll stay at home for three or five days, it's enough. I've been idle for a long time, and I'm not used to it. ”

Gao Ye persuaded a few more words, but Lao Wu had made up his mind, and Gao Ye agreed. After sending Lao Wu away, Gao Ye returned to his courtyard, and the carpenter and blacksmith had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Gao Ye entered the door, he saw that the carpenter and the blacksmith's stewards were there, and these two people were not ordinary. Let's just say that the carpenter's steward, named Gong Yiyan, is a descendant of Luban, with a family history and superb craftsmanship. The blacksmith's steward was named Ou Xiong, who was a descendant of Ou Yezi, a swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period. These two people are not subordinates in the Gao Ye Mansion, these two people are the retainers of the previous generation of Guiguzi.

However, there is no such thing as a retainer now, but the essence is the same. Now that Gao Ye has inherited Guiguzi, he has naturally inherited these retainers.

He did not dare to slack off on them, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "I wanted to make some gadgets, so I called the carpenter and blacksmith, and I didn't think that I would alarm the two, which is really a sin." ”

"Eh, many of the things that the lord has made over the years have been cleverly conceived, which has deeply touched the two of us, and today I just came to see what good things there were." Gong Yan laughed.

"Yes, I think my Ou family has been smelting iron from generation to generation, and I haven't come up with any method of frying steel, if I don't see you use it, I'm afraid I won't see it in my next life." So, let's take a look and maybe learn something. ”

"Actually, there is nothing new this time, I want to build another winery, a tea factory, a wine-producing and tea-making in my courtyard. Two, I asked the housekeeper to send the new wine, have you ever tasted it? ”

"Well, it's good wine!" Ou Xiong praised, "Now that you want to make a sake brewery, it is also a great pleasure for us to be able to drink such a fine wine every day." ”

"When the tea shop is completed, how about inviting two more people to taste the new tea I made?" Gao Ye laughed.
