Chapter 312: Giving Wine a Gift
"Master Shi, each of these cans contains a pound of wine, do you need to weigh it?" Cen Shaobai asked Shi Jingzhi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"No!" Shi Jingzhi drinks alcohol all year round, and he knows how much wine can be filled in the jar at a glance.
Cen Shaobai slowly poured the wine in the three jars into the six porcelain bowls, the wine in the bowls was extremely clear, everyone had never seen such a wine, and couldn't help but praise the ancient treasure wine really deserved its name. As the aroma of wine overflows everywhere, the wine worms in many people's stomachs have long been hooked out.
"Lord Shi, please!" Cen Shaobai made a gesture and stepped aside.
Shi Jingzhi had never seen wine as clear as water, so he walked to the table and slowly brought the bowl to his mouth.
Everyone held their breath and set their eyes on Shi Jingzhi.
I saw Shi Jingzhi raise his neck violently, then drank the wine in the bowl into his stomach, wiped his mouth and shouted: "Good wine!" ”
The crowd couldn't help but applaud him.
Shi Jingzhi didn't pause, and picked up a bowl and drank it all.
The third bowl.
Fourth bowl.
When Shi Jingzhi picked up the fifth bowl, even Cen Shaobai couldn't help beating a drum in his heart: I didn't expect this guy to be so able to drink, and the stomach of two catties of wine turned out to be like no one.
Although Cen Shaobai was a little worried in his heart, he had a relaxed and calm look on his face.
Shi Jingzhi staggered and picked up the fifth bowl of wine, at this time he was far from being free and easy when serving the first bowl, and even the onlookers could see that Shi Jingzhi was already at the end of the crossbow.
As soon as the fifth bowl of wine was eaten, before the bowl could be put down, a stream of wine arrows erupted from Shi Jingzhi's mouth, and he fell to the ground, and he was drunk to death.
This sudden scene suddenly made the onlookers silent.
"Smack, smack, smack!" I saw Cui Xiang clapping his hands and saying, "It's really good wine!" Shopkeeper Cen, I'll buy 200 catties! ”
Cen Shaobai took the opportunity to say: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Cui's ink treasure is peerless, if you can leave a word for this wine, I will sell two hundred catties of wine to adults at half price!" ”
"Is that true?" Cui Xiang's eyes lit up.
"It's true!"
"Pen and ink waiting!" Cui Xiang is prosperous.
After a while, the hundreds of words of "Ancient Treasure Wine" jumped on the paper.
Cen Shaobai took Cui Xiang's inscription like a treasure, and asked casually: "Master Cui, I don't know why you want so much wine?" ”
Cui Xiang continued: "Shouldn't you let His Majesty the Emperor taste this good wine?" In addition, there are princes and princesses, colleagues in the DPRK and China, relatives and friends, don't they all have to try? I'm worried that this wine won't be enough! ”
"That being the case, I won't charge a penny for Cui Shilang's 200 catties of wine, and I will give Master Cui another 100 catties." Cen Shaobai's eyes turned around.
"How does this work!" Cui Xiang hurriedly waved his hand.
"Master Cui, you must accept this wine, and if you accept it, you will help me!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Cen Shaobai said: "Master Cui, listen to me, you must know that this wine is good and afraid of deep alleys, Luzhou is a remote place compared to Chang'an, although my wine is good, there are not many people who may know this wine." But if Lord Cui can bring this wine to Chang'an, it will be very different, if the people of the world know that the ancient wine is favored by the royal family and nobles and court officials, wouldn't they all rush to it, and it will be difficult for me to make money with this wine. Therefore, adults must not refuse, you have helped me by taking this wine! ”
Cui Xiang calmed down when he heard this, and he smiled: "If that's the case, I'll take your wine." ”
After that, Cui Xiang sent someone to fill the wine and left.
……
"Lord Shilang, you are going to leave Luzhou tomorrow, Liang will prepare a thin wine for you in the back house, please don't have to enjoy the light tonight!" Liang Dequan said to Cui Xiang.
"Tonight?" Cui Xiang hesitated a little and said, "Lord Liang, I'm afraid it won't work tonight!" ”
"This ......" Liang Dequan didn't expect that his kindness would be rejected by Cui Xiang, which made his face very unbearable.
"That's right!" Seeing this, Cui Xiang hurriedly explained: "I have a friend in Luzhou, I haven't seen him for the past few days, today he asked me first, and I can only go to Yonghe Building for a banquet in the evening!" I'm sorry, Lord Liang! ”
"Oh? I wonder who Lord Cui's friend is in Luzhou? Liang Dequan was very curious, he wanted to know if there was anyone in Luzhou who could make Cui Xiang refuse him.
Cui Xiang didn't hide it: "His name is Zhang Baoer, he was my best friend when he was in Chang'an, how can I not meet him since I came to Luzhou?" ”
"Zhang Bao'er?" Liang Dequan nodded thoughtfully.
"So, does Lord Liang know Zhang Bao'er?" Cui asked.
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it!"
Cui Xiang smiled slightly and proposed, "If Lord Liang is not outside, why don't you go to the banquet with me tonight, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”
"This ......" This time it was Liang Dequan's turn to hesitate, after all, Zhang Baoer and Bai Zongyuan were business rivals, if he gave up the banquet of his later residence and went to Yonghe Building, would there be something wrong.
"If Lord Liang finds it inconvenient, then forget it!" Cui Xiang said deliberately.
"What's inconvenient? We're going to Yonghe Building tonight! Liang Dequan made a decision on the spot.
"By the way, Lord Liang, don't forget to call King Linzi, Shi Sima, Tian Changshi and others!" Cui Xiang said.
That night, Zhang Baoer set up a banquet for Cui Xiangyang.
The dish is the best dish in Yonghe Building.
Wine is an ancient treasure.
After three rounds of drinking, Cui Xiang said to Zhang Bao'er: "Bao'er, I heard that when you left Chang'an, Your Majesty specially asked Gonggong Yang to give you a painting of ink treasure, can you let me have a look?" ”
"Mobao?" Zhang Bao'er was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Yang sent His Majesty's ink treasure, but I have never opened it, and I don't know what is written!" ”
Zhang Baoer told the truth, when Zhang Baoer left Chang'an, Yang Siqiao did send Li Xian's Mobao, and Zhang Baoer didn't take it seriously, so he handed it over to Jiang Xiaotong for safekeeping, and he really didn't know what was written on it.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Zhang Bao'er's words, Li Xian rarely inscribed to his courtiers, they didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would give Zhang Bao'er Mobao.
Liang Dequan thought to himself: This Zhang Bao'er doesn't seem to be simple, and he has to be careful to deal with it in the future.
Li Longji secretly said in his heart: No wonder Zhang Bao'er came to Luzhou without scruples, it turned out that he had the support of His Majesty the Emperor, and it seemed that he would have to make good friends with him in the future.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him in a daze, Zhang Bao'er shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Cen Shaobai: "Shopkeeper Cen, since Brother Cui insists on seeing it, then I will work hard for you to go to Xiaotong to get His Majesty's Mobao!" ”
Cen Shaobai left in response.
Seeing that everyone was still stunned, Zhang Bao'er hurriedly said to Cui Xiang: "Brother Cui, you can taste my Yonghelou dishes first and see how it tastes?" When Brother Cen comes, there will naturally be something for you to see! ”
