In the inheritance culture of the Oriental people, there is a word that is difficult to explain in simple words or words, and that is "righteousness". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this tavern, which is half a cave and half a wooden building, the window ridge paper can only be half-transparent, Lao Yang praised Luo Kai's first two sentences, the former sentence is "Gao Yi", and the latter sentence is "Lao Hexi's bones and blood". Such words are difficult for foreigners to understand, but for Luo Kaixian, the first sentence is praise, and the latter sentence is acceptance and recognition. This is something that even he, a war monster from the afterlife, can easily and accurately grasp.

Thousands of years have passed, and many things have changed, including language.

But many silent things have their own lineage, such as the synthesis of ethnic groups - such things that seem somewhat illusory to say, rarely have major changes. In fact, the straightforward temperament of the Hexi people has been inherited until later generations.

As an orthodox Hexi person, even Luo Kaixian from later generations is the best example.

Like several old men in Suizhou, he inherited this temperament very well, and of course, as a soldier, the manly spirit of "rather take in the straight, don't seek in the song".

This similarity in temperament or style of doing things greatly enhances the sense of identity between each other.

Of course, as Luo Kaixian, who was beginning to move towards the state of a superior person, even if things were not as he expected, he did not bother to deceive some old people with lies.

For these villagers in Suizhou, Luo Kaixian, who is tall and strong and has a group of capable subordinates, has become less mysterious than rumored, but like a descendant of his own accomplishments.

This sense of disparity between being famous and not meeting will certainly make them feel close.

You must know that in this era of strife, the old guys who can live to the age of Nuo in a border town like Suizhou may not be the top people, and the ability to judge the situation is estimated to have melted into the bones. At the end of the day, none of these old guys are honest characters, and it's an exaggeration to say that a bunch of old foxes can't be wrong.

Choosing to deal with such a group of old guys instead of Zhao Song's young and strong garrison, Luo Kaixian's purpose was very simple. The first is to save their own time and energy - those frontier troops may know how to fight, how can they know the knowledge of sacrifice? Secondly, Luo Kai first thought that through contact, we can better understand the customs and customs of this land - young people may be reckless because of emotionality, such old guys will not move blindly, they may lose their conservativeness because of old age, but they may also mean "old and strong".

Moreover, at the same time, such old people's grasp of the world and their influence on the people around them are often silent and deep, and their control or influence on the current situation is also subtle and ubiquitous.

This last point is exactly what Luo Kaixian values the most.

So, after handing over how to organize the sacrifice, the meeting in the tavern did not end, but instead sat together and chatted, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic and intense.

Suizhou was located on the frontier of this era, but it still retained the orthodox Han customs - a small table with a meal system instead of a large round table in later generations, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant ordered people to serve carefully prepared food.

Luo Kaixian ordered his soldiers to bring up a knee-high oak barrel containing sealed Greek wine—a thing that had been bought a lot, and now there are more than a hundred barrels left. Then, in the eyes of many old men, he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the wine that Luo San brought back from Xiqin, 20,000 miles away, which is not as good as my Oriental winemaking, but it is especially suitable for the health of the elderly!" ”

"Wine? From Xiqin? Yang Qi, who twisted his gray beard, was also very curious, and couldn't help sighing: "I have heard that Westerners are good at making fruit wine, and San Lang brought it back from thousands of miles away, and the road must not be easy!" But it's a pity that the old man's wine is limited, so he can only taste it, San Lang, you are right on that wine gourd's appetite! ”

As he spoke, Yang Qi also raised his hand and pointed to the red-faced old man who was staring at him without blinking.

This old man's surname is Zhang, his name is Jiyao, he is not more than sixty years old, tall and strong, and he has the most significant feature on his face - a red nose, which is obviously not caused by wind and rain and snow and freezing, but caused by perennial drinking, and because of good wine, his name is not as well-known as his name.

"Fourteen! Come home and find your nine aunts, and bring my set of glass cups! Hurry up! The wine man opened the wine man's bar and clicked his mouth a few times, and without turning his head, he beckoned to the elder next to him, and commanded in his mouth.

The junior elder who was called "Fourteen" behind Lao Zhang was obviously a clever man, and he didn't inquire when he heard the order, so he turned around and ran out in a low voice, and everyone had different expressions, but they all looked at the freshness, and no one paid attention to such trivial matters.

After a while, seeing Luo Kaixian's men digging up the cork on the oak barrel and inlaying a small faucet made of hard walnut wood, Zhang Jiugong turned his head to Luo Kaixian and asked, "Luo Jia Saburo, do the people of Western Qin tease wine like this?" It looks so exquisite! ”

Because he has seen too many things in later generations, and there are a lot of comrades-in-arms who like to get drunk beside him, so although Luo Kaixian himself does not like to drink, he is no stranger to processes such as winemaking...... As for the saddle for taking the wine, it was made by Luo Sanming's craftsmen in their spare time, aiming to prevent the wine from spilling when pouring it, or contaminating the wine with dust, isn't it a pity? Does the wine public think so? ”

Choosing what he understood and explaining it in the language of this time, Luo Kaixian thought in his heart that he had never found a seed like a red oak tree on the road, otherwise it would be a perfect scenery to cultivate some tall red oak trees on this land west of the river.

Of course, Zhang Jiugong couldn't guess what Luo Kaixian was thinking, and when he heard the elder's explanation clearly, he couldn't help but clap his palms, "San Lang has a good mind!" I have been a good wine all my life, and I don't know what to do, but there is one thing, I can see such a delicate wine vessel today, and it is not a loss for this trip! ”

"You wine gourd! Luo Jia Saburo invited a few of us to come over for discussion, not to ask you to taste wine! Lao Yang stared at Zhang Jiugong and scolded with a smile, and then patted his palm on the small table in front of him, and then turned to Luo Kaixian and said: "San Lang is not strange, although this wine gourd is greedy for a cup, he never misses things, and he has a master craftsman in wine, woodwork, and stone work in his family." In the future, your cemetery needs to be built, and it will never be wrong to find him, and as for the salary, according to the old age, you might as well make it into wine...... This wine is warm and fragrant, and it comes from a long way, it must be worth 10,000 yuan, take this wine as an example, only ten barrels are enough to pay for the construction of a hundred acres of garden! ”

"Make! Make! Because of the installation of the halter, a trace of wine overflowed from the barrel, Zhang Jiugong twitched his nose, shook his head and agreed: "Brother Reward's words are very good!" What does Saburo think? Peace of mind, the old man doesn't trust the big man, and he doesn't take advantage of your juniors! This wine comes from...... Even Athens, the old man doesn't know where it is, but there is one thing that the old man knows very well, the long road is worth ten thousand gold, not to mention the taste of this wine, this road alone can cost me the effort to build the garden, and it is more than enough! So...... Choose a good place, the stone and wood consumed to build the garden are all inclusive, the wood is a great material, and the stone is a good bluestone, you only need to send me ten barrels of grapes according to what Brother Qi said! I don't know what Saburo thinks? ”

After that, Zhang Jiugong stared at Luo Kaixian's seemingly immobile face.

What can Luo Kaixian say? Barrels of wine were purchased from Athens for a hundred gold solidus, and it took little effort to store them in space on the way, but when they arrived at tens of thousands of miles, how should the price be converted after arriving in this east?

The same weight of gold? Or is it a copper coin of equal weight?

In this era, there was no constant exchange standard, and there was no foreign exchange rate.

Therefore, this is destined to be a confused account, even if Luo Kaixian does not have an accurate basis in his head.

So, he simply didn't forget it, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay! Just according to the wine man! ”

"Good!"

"Luo Jia Saburo is so refreshing!"

A group of old men joined in the lively roar.

"Oooo The sound of climbing the wooden staircase sounded, and the young man who had been sent out and was called fourteen walked in quickly, and was panting three or five steps away, "Wine man, the glassware you want......

The shopkeeper of the tavern ordered someone to take the glass ware in the wooden box and carefully clean it like a treasure. In a few moments, the glass cups that shimmered in the candlelight and semi-transparent sunlight were distributed to the tables.

Zhang Jiugong was interested, and shouted loudly: "It is said that in the former Tang Dynasty, there was a poet surnamed Bai who said that this grape wine, what grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge. This luminous cup is talking about this glass cup, which means that grape brewing needs to be matched with this glass cup to get right, but this wine music I Lao Zhang felt uncomfortable, and it should be right to use the iron plate to knock and roar two sentences of Kansai dialect......"

"Nonsense! You don't learn old wine! A mellow scolding voice interjected, and the owner of the voice was an old man wearing a brown scribe's robe with a slightly torn cuff, who held a glass cup and explained while studying under the candlelight: "The person who made that poem is surnamed Wang, and his full name is Wang Han, which is said that the grapes are mellow and soft, which is suitable for matching the second eight little lady and ten fingers Qianqian tune to sing the evening...... You are a splasher, the iron plate roars in the Guanxi dialect, and it is only right to match the spicy ale wine produced on the banks of the rivers of Fenyang 1 in Hedong or Hengshui 2 in Jizhou! ”

"Ah! Or is Sour Liu reasonable! A few old men shouted again.

Zhang Jiugong's face turned red before drinking, and he didn't say anything, but he just told the guys in the store to pour the wine one by one, and then said: "I don't get to the bottom of it, it's me who made a mistake, it's just that you sour, where to find the twenty-eight little lady who can tune the piano at this time?" This little lady in Hexi has changed her Zhang and learned to dance the knife, is it possible that you are sour to invite a few little girls to dance the knife for fun? ”

"Haha......"

There was the one who was so anxious that he didn't bother to listen to anyone's bickering anymore, and began to shout: "What nonsense? Luo Jia Saburo sent wine, where did the entanglement come from? Just drink it, come on, raise a glass! Drink to win! ”

A few old guys laughed and scolded, not treating Luo Kaixian as an outsider at all, although it was a bickering, no one was angry, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Luo didn't want to interject, just sat quietly and squinted the corners of his mouth to listen to the crowd laughing, occasionally echoing a few words, or raising a glass and drinking, and he didn't see the outside, but the comfort in his heart could not be said to others.
