Chapter 31: Laughing at the Rising Storm (2)
The weather in November is very cold.
In this era, there is no possibility of any greenhouse effect, the climate is normal, and the four seasons are distinct. After the onset of winter, there were two snowfalls in Pei County.
The snow isn't too big, but it's very comfortable.
It was in the afternoon, Liu Kan was alone in the open space of the prison, stepping on the three palace steps mentioned in the red flag book, carrying a heavy weapon carved from the roots of a centuries-old tree, slightly similar in shape to the red flag, shouting loudly, connecting with the method of waving the flag.
The roots of the old tree had been soaked in water, so it was very heavy.
If the weight is calculated according to the catties of later generations, it is about more than 50 catties, which is exactly half of the red flag. Although the general distance has been reduced, it can be performed with one arm, and if you change people, it is also very difficult. Liu Kan was shirtless, barefoot, dancing the flag in the ice and snow, his feet were smart, his body was round, and the heavy wooden flag was in his hand, making a whirring sound.
Snowflakes fall from the sky and are swept away by the flag wind.
Ren Ao Tang Li and the others stood in the room, looked out through the small window, shook their heads lightly, sighed, and sat back in the distance.
A tattered copper tripod, with a thick layer of mud pasted inside, turned into a furnace after drying.
Red charcoal burned in the hearth, and on the stove was a clay pot filled with water, and there was a wine jar in the water.
"On such a cold day, you say that this guy Ah Kan doesn't sit down and drink some wine, what kind of martial arts does he practice alone...... This guy is simply a martial idiot. Tu Zi didn't have as much energy as him back then...... If he doesn't practice martial arts or is literate, doesn't he feel annoyed? β
The wine is the old wine sent by Lu Pheasant, made of millet and millet and the taste is much better than the old wine outside.
The so-called old wine is a name. In ancient times, this wine was divided into three wines and five wines. Using rice and millet as raw materials, the three types of sake can be divided into shishu, sake, and sake. The meaning of Shijiu is to brew for a short time and the taste is very poor. Former sake requires a short period of storage, which means that the sake made in the past has a slightly mellower taste. As for sake, it was brewed in winter and ripened in summer, and it was the best among the sake of the time.
The wine of the five qi refers to five different kinds of wine. It is divided into Pan Qi, Li(ι³1i) Qi, Angqi, Ti (ι³ti, two tones) Qi and Shen Qi. Among them, Pan Qi and Liqi are the most common wines on the market, and the lees are floating in the wine, or there is a mixture of liquid and liquid.
As for the taste, most of them are liqueurs, and men, women, and children can drink it when they have nothing to do.
Of course, in addition to liqueurs, there is also the saying of spicy liqueur. However, most of this wine is sold and not kept for yourself.
It seems that the kind of wine that Liu Kan drank in Wang Ji's wine shop belongs to spicy wine.
Since it is used for sale, it is naturally different from the sake that you eat at home. In addition to the taste, it also needs some processing, that is, the Anqi wine of the five Qi wines. The wine is white in color and has a strong sour taste characteristic of spicy wine, which is loved and loved by many drinkers.
What Lu Pheasant sent was the old wine, and it was the old wine.
This jar costs at least ten and a half taels on the market, but it is not a good wine that ordinary people can drink. It's a pity that Liu Kan is very uninterested in this kind of wine. Even in his opinion, drinking this so-called fine wine is not much different from suffering.
I didn't drink it when I threw it there, so I simply gave it to everyone.
However, Liu Kan gave Ren Ao and others a suggestion: Angqixi wine is actually the most primitive type of rice wine. Autumn harvest and winter storage, in the cold season, it is not suitable for cold wine. If you want to drink alcohol, it is best to heat it over low heat.
In order to drink, Liu Kan also made a primitive stove for Ren Ao and others to warm wine.
After warm wine, it is very good for the body and is in line with the principle of health preservation. Accompanied by flavorful snacks, it has a special taste in winter.
Ren Ao, Cao Shen and Tang Li, if they have nothing to do, they will shrink in this gatehouse, drinking a little wine, and they can also watch Liu Kan practice martial arts outside to help the wine, and this little day is also comfortable.
Cao Shen said with a smile: "If there is no such hard work, how can Ah Kan kill Wang Ling?" Tu Zi said that after seven or eight years, Ah Kan would be able to compete with him. In my opinion, in less than three or five years, Tuzi is afraid that he will be in danger. As for literacy...... Ah Kan is afraid that he has other ideas. β
"It's good to be able to write your own name, what's the use of being too literate?"
Tang Li said with a straight face: "Old Ren, you can't say that. More literacy is always beneficial...... At least be able to understand things and distinguish between right and wrong. For example, if we don't know a single big character, won't it cause a lot of trouble? It's good to know a few more words. β
"What's in it for you?"
Ren Ao scratched his head and said, "There are too many words in the world, and I have a headache when I look at it." It's obviously just a word, but there have to be many ways to write it, and it's very troublesome. β
"So, King Qin...... Ah, it is not unreasonable for the First Emperor to abolish the Six Kingdoms script and use the Qin script alone. β
Cao Shen bit his lip and said softly: "Six countries of words, six countries of wind bones!" The First Emperor flew out of the Six Kingdoms script so strongly, I am afraid that the scholars of the Six Kingdoms will rebound. In this way, the six countries are calm on the surface, but in private, I am afraid that there will be a hidden murderous intention. β
Tang Li smiled, "This generation of scholars may be dishonest, but what about the next generation?" What about the next generation? Over the past 100 years...... Maybe it won't take a hundred years, a few decades, how many people in the world will know the six languages? If you want me to say, it's a good thing to unify the text. The long pain is better than the short pain, maybe the first emperor's method of implementing Qin Wen is a bit tough, but for the future, it is very beneficial. β
Cao Shen couldn't argue with Tang Li, and fell silent.
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the wind swept the snowflakes into the room, and the cold hit, and the three of them couldn't help but feel a spirit. Looking up, it was Liu Kan who walked in carrying the wooden flag. Covered in mist, sweating profusely.
After a period of recuperation, Liu Kan's muscles did not look as solid as before.
But in fact, the strength has not decreased in the slightest, but in the majesty, it has added a softness and a touch of agility.
Wiping the sweat off his body, Liu Kan put on his clothes and sat next to the stove.
snatched the wine cup in front of Tang Li and drank it all. Then he let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove." If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? A few brothers, it seems that this little wine is quite delicious, and the wine is in full swing. β
In the Qin period, the five-character quatrain had not yet appeared.
Liu Kan suddenly read out such a five-character quatrain, Ren Ao didn't feel anything, but Cao Shen and Tang Li had different feelings.
Broken innovation is easier said than done. Especially on top of this text, any kind of innovation requires a long period of accumulation and improvement. Moreover, the deeper the knowledge, the stronger the rejection of new things. Tang Li's brows frowned slightly.
"Ah Kan, your poem seems to be a little out of harmony."
Liu Kan was stunned, looked at Tang Li's expression, and immediately understood the reason. smiled at the moment, "Old Tang, I just said it casually, why do you care?" β
"Ah Kan, poetry and words, singing and singing. The so-called teaching of the six teachers, saying wind, fu, comparison, classic, elegance, and song, how can they talk nonsense casually? If you are not in harmony with courtesy, you should be cautious. β
It can be seen that Tang Li attaches great importance to poetry and songs, and his words are naturally unceremonious.
Cao Shen shook his head, "I think Ah Kan's poem is very good, although it doesn't fit the poetic style, but it has a unique charm." This situation and this scene are also appropriate to use in this poem. Poetry is agreeable, and songs are poetry...... Old Tang, I think you're too stubborn. β
