In the spring of Jian'an ten years, Yecheng is very lively, not only because Cao Cao's garrison Yecheng moved a lot of people, which gave the city a new brilliance, but also because of the "ten people who are not drunk and don't want money" restaurant respected by the world's scholars opened in Yecheng, this restaurant is different from Xudu, after some repair and expansion, this restaurant has become a three-storey building, and there are three courtyards, each courtyard has a three-storey pavilion, as for the side houses, most of them are where the husband and the small servant live, Only a few rooms were vacated for kitchens. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The appearance of these three high pavilions looks like the general high pavilions of the current dynasty, with black tiles and cornices, which is not surprising, but there is something else inside. The second and third floors of the three high pavilions are placed for one person to eat and drink, and there is also a seat on the main seat, and next to the main ~ seat is placed a very popular musical instrument in the Han Dynasty, also called Fang Xiang, the so-called "Fang Xiang is late at night, and the sound knocks on the guest's heart." "That's what I'm talking about, and on the other side is a table with a yaoqin on it.

As for the characteristics of the first floor of the restaurant, the restaurant on this floor has a large square table large enough for eight people to sit, the low end of the square table has been hollowed out, forming a square trough, this trough is fifty centimeters deep, and a stove is placed in the middle, and guests can put their feet into the trough when sitting on the edge of the square table, so as to keep warm, and there is no need to kneel and sit.

This kind of decoration surprised the first batch of scholars who came here to cheer. Wang Cang was one of the first people to come to cheer, and the people around him were Huan Jie, who had just been in Yecheng for a short time.

Wang Cang couldn't help but say when he saw the appearance of the hall on the first floor: "Brother Boxu, isn't it the habit of the Hu people to sit together and sit together?" Why is this restaurant furnished like this? ”

didn't wait for Huan Jie next to him to answer, but he heard a man in his thirties next to him laugh and said, "Don't you look at the plaque on the top of the two brothers?" ”

Wang Cang looked up, and sure enough, there was a plaque hanging on the hall with the four characters "Elegant and Vulgar Appreciation", the pen power of these four words is strong and vigorous, which can make people appreciate the vigorous feeling of reckless yellow sand.

Huan Jie commented: "This word is more than vigorous, elegant and insufficient, and there is no extravagance, although there is an empty stomach, but it is not a scholar." ”

Wang Cang said with a smile: "This world is too chaotic, many scholars are living in all directions, and it is not surprising that they naturally lose some of their scholarly spirit in order to survive." After speaking, he turned around and bowed his hand to the man next to him who reminded them to look at the plaque, and asked, "Wang Cang, Wang Zhongxuan in Xiashanyang." Dare to ask the name of the honorable driver? ”

The man came with another person, and when he heard Wang Cang's name, he immediately said politely: "It turned out to be Wang Zhongxuan, whose name is Gai Jingxiang, who has been admired for a long time, in Xia Runan, Meng Jian, Meng Gongwei, this is Yingchuan Shitao." ”

The man beside Meng Jian arched his hand and said, "Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan." Courteous. ”

Immediately, Huan Jie also greeted the two of them.

Wang Cang is uninhibited and uninhibited, and he also likes to make friends, so he immediately began to talk to the two: "Brother Meng, this elegance and vulgarity are appreciated, since the first floor is vulgar, then the upper layer is elegant, Wang is not talented, he feels that he is an elegant person, and he plans to go upstairs to have a look, can the two brothers be elegant together?" ”

Meng and Shi laughed and said, "Tongya, Tongya!" Immediately, the four of them went up to the second floor under the guidance of the little guy, and when they got to the second floor, they saw a separate table, Wang Cang first noticed the Fang Xiang and Yaoqin, and asked the little guy: "Where is the musician?" ”

The little servant bowed and replied: "I know objectively that our shopkeeper thinks that since we are elegant people, how can we listen to the noisy sound, because there is no teacher with instruments, please play by yourself." ”

Wang Cang laughed and said: "Youzhou Mu is also a second person, but he is not afraid to drive away the guests. ”

At this time, many people came upstairs one after another, all of them were scholars who came to admire it, and a small number of Cao Jun officials, Meng Jian said with a smile: "If Brother Zhongxuan doesn't sit at the table, I'm afraid there will be no place." ”

Wang Cang laughed, and then sat side by side with the three of them, and then asked the little guy for wine, and the little guy said yes and went downstairs, and then the other people who sat down also asked the little guy who took them upstairs to drink wine, and after a while, the quiet floor suddenly became noisy.

After a while, a small guy held a tray with four copper buds on it, and another guy walked towards Wang Cang and the four of them with a jar of wine, Wang Cang smiled and said: "It's full of wine, this wine has been waiting for a year!" After speaking, he picked up the trays with one hand, and felt different just like Wang Cang in his hand.

It was shortly after noon, and the spring sun shone through the open window, shining on one side of the palm in his hand. Wang Cang took a closer look, and found that there was a thumb-sized chip inlaid on it, and it was carved into the shape of a wine jug, and it felt a little cold when touched by his hand, like jade, but it was more dazzling than jade.

"Little brother, what is this?" Wang Cang asked, at this time, not only Wang Cang, but other people also noticed the strangeness in their hands, and immediately asked questions.

Huan Jie, Shi Tao. Meng Jian also played with this thing, waiting for the little guy's explanation. The little guy smiled and said: "Back to the objectivity, this thing is called Liuli, like jade rather than jade, it is a newly fired thing by our shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper knows that many objective people come here to drink wine from thousands of miles away, so this glass and the glass on it are gifts to the first six hundred guest officers." ”

Wang Cang was shocked when he heard this: "New gadget? It's amazing, this thing can be carved into a wine jug, and it can naturally be carved into other things, I don't know if it can be sold alone? ”

Xiao Wu smiled and said: "Naturally, you can carve other things, but now there are not many carved things, our shopkeeper loves chess, so you can sell chess pieces, but well, you can't buy alone, you have to buy wine and buy two colors, the color of this glass can be a lot, to jump out of the same color glass like chess pieces, it takes a lot of effort, it is expensive, of course, there are tigers, toads, turtles, and other animals, those things are cheaper, and the size is similar to the jade pendants of the guest officers' accessories." ”

"And how much are these animals worth?" Wang Cang asked.

The little guy smiled: "1000 yuan a piece." ”

You must know that jade is definitely the first luxury in the Han Dynasty, not to mention the precious mutton fat jade, even if it is ordinary nephrite, it costs at least 5,000 yuan to buy a piece, and it costs 10,000 yuan to say the least, but this thing looks like jade, and it is more shiny than jade, but it is several times cheaper than jade, which suddenly startled Wang Cang, and before he could speak, he heard a burst of noise.

"I want 100"

"1000 money? Cheaper than a handmaiden? Bring me 30! ”

"50!"

"500 !!"

While the restaurant was noisy, in a small mansion across the street from the restaurant, Jia Xu sat leisurely in the courtyard drinking, glanced at the noisy restaurant, Jia Xu said to an elderly man beside him: "Go and tell the shopkeeper over there that 3,000 pieces of glass will be sold out when they are sold out, and the other two chess pieces will be the one with the highest price." ”

The old man bowed down and said, "Big housekeeper, this glass is so easy to make, why don't you continue to sell it?" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Just look at what price this 3,000 pieces of glass can be sold, wait for the price and sell, and when we find out the world's valuation of it, we will set the price is the right way." ”

The old man suddenly bowed down and said, "The big butler is wise." Then he left. (To be continued.) )
