Chapter 209: The Tang People's Banquet

Suddenly asked this question, so that Li Chen didn't know how to answer, except for the headache, he was worried in his heart. When he came to the Tang Dynasty, he was always careful not to have any contact with other literati, so as not to have any need to talk about poetry and papers. He didn't understand it at all.

Although he secretly stole a few famous sentences from later generations, and was complacent about it. Don't steal some poems, when what crosses. But he knew how many pounds and taels he weighed. was afraid of being given a proposition on the spot and writing poems, but his mind was blank, and he smiled generously.

His attainment of ancient texts is limited to some of his favorite poems and words, and what is even worse is that he does not know so much about the sources of allusions in those poems.

Therefore, others may go to some famous contemporary poets, and it is better to pay homage to them. He won't go, and he won't think.

The first is that he really doesn't like those poets that much, and secondly, and most importantly, what do you want to do when you have nothing to do? You don't have the ability, people won't dump you, and they treat you as a certain person. Have the ability to copy your own poems and hand them over? When people discuss it with you, you will be blind. So definitely don't go up, and stay away when you see the poet.

But drinking with Luo Yin that day, Li Chen first didn't expect that Luo Yin was a famous poet in history, and he wrote the poem, Li Chen had heard it all, and he could memorize it..., but he didn't know that the author was him.

When he knew, Li Chen also drank high. This drunken red dust is a new brewed version, and the taste is much stronger than before. Originally, Li Chen didn't like to drink such spirits, but after Li Chen's reconstruction, the taste was much better, and he drank a few more sips that day.

He remembered that it was best to remove the head and tail of the distilled spirit, and only take the middle part. In addition, you can use charcoal to filter the wine, which can also make the taste better.

'Truth be told, this wine was invented in the future. Li Chen boasted, and Luo Yin sneered, "I haven't heard of anyone inventing this wine, and a certain family has only heard of who makes wine." ’

Li Chen sold Guan Zi and said, 'Brew? Who said this wine is made? Now all alcohol can only be bought from the government, who dares to brew it. This wine is not made. In the Tang Dynasty, the liquor tax policy changed from no tax to heavy tax, and finally completely became a monopoly.

In many places, the intensity of enforcement is different, and in some places, you can brew it, as long as you pay taxes. In some places, such as Yangzhou, it has become a complete monopoly, prohibiting private brewing by the people, and all the wine is sold by the government, so that the people can sell it in retail.

It's still really a drink. Can you still have no alcohol for the liquor tax? Of course, in order to collect the wine money, Tang Ting received a frenzy, and spread the wine money on the tax with the two tax laws, and you ordinary people steal wine, I can't catch it, so I will collect it with the two taxes.

When Li Chen began to distill liquor, he also planned to look for whether there were any liquor merchants, only to find that in Yangzhou, if he wanted to buy liquor, he could only buy it from the government. So he didn't dare to talk nonsense, saying that his wine was brewed, and it really wasn't brewed anyway.

No matter how Luo Yin asked, Li Chen just didn't say it, and Luo Yin was not unhappy, he knew that this was a unique job, so he was just interested and asked a few questions. Then, he invited Li Chen to dance...

Invitation to dance? That's right, it's an invitation to dance. The Tang people loved to dance, which seemed to be different from the Song people, and even later the Ming and Qing people.

Foreigners like to dance, they dance socially, and many of them have men and women hugging each other. It is regarded as immoral by some conservative people. However, when foreigners dance, they don't have to hug. Probably influenced by the kind of dance of the West Asian generation, foreigners danced, and some of them were circled over there.

Like the famous Sun King, Louis XIV. Li Chen first looked at the picture and saw a group of people surrounding the Sun King, Li Chen thought it was just a certain part, and then watched a movie, which mentioned this, it was really the Sun King. He himself stood in the middle, and then a group of people circled around him like nine planets....

This is an example, and there is also a kind of men and women who do not touch, that is, they go around in circles. Clap your hands, turn in circles, turn left and right, turn yourself and turn with everyone... Speaking of this, it shows that it is actually related to the Tang people. The Tang people also danced like this.

After a few cups of yellow soup, Luo Yin stood up, Li Chen originally thought that he was going to relieve his hands, but as a result, Luo Yin began to turn in circles, began to twist his waist and swing his hips, shook the sleeves of his robe, and sometimes squatted down and stepped twice. Why don't you drink too much? Li Chen was dumbfounded, turned his head to look at Zhao Liu, but saw that Zhao Liu had no special look.

Only very appreciative and excited, there is no contempt that Li Chen imagined that Luo Yin was nervous, or ridiculed something. Then, Zhao Liu also started to jump, and she danced much better than Luo Yin... Damn, is this some new type of infectious disease? Drunk and crazy dancing?

'Li Jun, give the order. Zhao Liudian. After jumping for a while, probably tired, sat down, Li Chen still wanted to say that one of them finally returned to normal, but saw Luo Yin leaning towards him, Wow Lele, how is this, if you want to go crazy, don't be like me.

Zhao Liu smiled and said, what about the order? What is a warrant? Are you sure it's not another way of saying that you hit someone? It turned out that this was a Tang Dynasty custom. The host drank until he got up, got up and danced, and invited the guests to dance along. The guest gets up and follows the host around twice, the guest returns to his seat, and then the host invites another guest to jump.

After knowing the reason, Li Chen had no choice but to get up and jump together. Secretly frightened in his heart, how could he never have heard of this custom. He knew that the Tang people loved to dance, and he had also mentioned it in some of the time-traveling novels he had read. But I didn't hear anything about the host's orders to the guests and invite them to dance.

But what's there to be afraid of, isn't it just dancing? In modern times, although he doesn't dance much at all because of his fatness, he has seen a lot.

He has watched a lot of dance movies, what dances out of my life, full dance, charming, dance duels, he has watched a lot. Besides, he had already prepared, knowing that Luo Yin was not crazy, but after being invited to dance according to etiquette, Li Chen slowly stood up, and then he moved.

As soon as he moved, he let Zhao Liu applaud loudly, and after Luo Yin glanced at it, his movements slowed down, and he didn't turn anymore, just watched Li Chen turn around, and also applauded.

In the end, Li Chen then supported his body with one hand, supported it for a while, and then stood up, and it was over. After the end, he was also a little gasped, bowing like the only one in the audience to salute and express his gratitude.

After the dance, followed by singing, Luo Yin was so happy that he sang a poem, and casually sang a poem in response to the occasion, which means that he had a good time today, and his brother was really happy.

Then he changed to Li Chen, he regretted it from the time he woke up to the present, if time could be turned back, he wouldn't want to sing this song. (To be continued.) )
