Chapter 205: The Bonfire Dinner

A few words of greeting with Tu Midu, a preliminary acquaintance and left.

Perhaps both sides have the idea of continuing to have an in-depth exchange of views, but there is a sudden loss of appearance, and it is clear that there is no such opportunity.

Most of the topics that Datang can talk about with the Hui people are not good for Xue Yantuo, this is obviously not a situation that Tu Li wants to see, the skin does not exist, and he still understands the truth that Mao Jiang is attached.

So, then there is no then.

Xie Yi and Di Zhixun had no choice but to follow Tu Liyu to the sweat tent to attend the so-called bonfire dinner, of course, Tumidu was also invited, but there was less opportunity to communicate.

After arriving, Xie Yi found that the so-called bonfire dinner was a bit pitted.

The September night on the prairie was quite cold, and it was not a pleasure to sit in the wild and eat, and the wind was still blowing coldly, even though the tents were in the way.

Although there are bonfires, their main functions are lighting and roasting lamb, and the function of heating is really limited. Although he was dressed warmly and put on a fur coat, there was still a slight chill, especially Xie Yi's delicate skin was very painful.

What the hell!

Xie Yi complained secretly, saying that it was a dinner party, but in fact there were no dishes, except for meat or meat, and the way of eating was very bold, which was very different from the Central Plains.

It's nothing, the guest is as it is, everything is acceptable. In addition, there is even wine, and surprisingly, it is Qionghua brew.

Xie Yi is still quite happy about the sale of his own wine to the grassland, and it is of course a good thing that his own products are sold abroad, which shows the brand influence and sales.

The weather on the grassland is cold, and drinking two sips of strong wine is warm, which is really comfortable and very good for the spleen and stomach.

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, especially when the little prince Hulu and the envoys from Gaochang praised them again and again. Xie Yi almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Khan, dare to ask why this wine is so pure, surpassing the mare's milk wine of our Tianshan Mountains, and even stronger than the Persians' Sanle pulp." Hulu Little Khan smiled and looked up to ask Yi Nan. Quite curious.

Yi Nan smiled: "Oh, this is a drink from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, it is said to be called Qionghua Brew, and it is the most pure wine today." ”

"Is it Datang's drink? Really? ”

"Of course, it was the caravan who took great pains to transport it back from Chang'an, and there is no price on the grassland, if it weren't for the recent arrival of distinguished guests, Ben Khan would not easily take out this wine to entertain guests." Yi Nan had a smile on his face, and he was completely hospitable.

"How can the Tang people make such a fine wine?" Gao Chang's envoy had an expression of disbelief. seems to be very surprised, but to a certain extent, it is also a contempt and questioning of the Tang people.

As a Tang Dynasty man, Di Zhixun is a little unhappy, and as the founder of Qionghua Brewing, Xie Yi is even more unhappy.

Yi Nan over there smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the envoys of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Di Envoy, Xie Envoy, is it really your Tang Dynasty's wine? Is the brewer a Han from the Tang Dynasty or a guest from the Western Regions? The envoy of Gao Chang looked defiant. seems to be determined to despise the Tang people.

"Humph!" Dicchison's reply was a sneer.

Gao Chang's envoy insisted on reacting, and his mood was slightly bad. frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's ridiculous, I thought it was ridiculous." Dickinson continued to taunt in return, which was a tooth for a tooth.

"What's ridiculous?" The envoys were stubborn and still didn't realize the problem.

Di Zhixon said angrily: "Because the brewer of this wine is far away in the world, close at hand, and Your Excellency still wants to ask such a stupid question." Isn't it ridiculous? ”

At the mention of this, even Yi Nan became interested and asked curiously: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you?" Could it be that this wine was made by a noble envoy? ”

This sentence means, according to the general idea. But today there are exceptions.

Di Zhixun shook his head and said: "This envoy is not good at it, the Qionghua wine you drink is brewed by Xie Envoy's skillful hands, he is an authentic Tang Han man." ”

Lang Sheng's answer was tantamount to a slap in the face of Gaochang's envoys, daring to despise the Han people, especially in front of the smartest Han people, they really deserved it.

mentioned that Xie Yi was the brewer of Qionghua brewing water, everyone present was a little surprised, including Yi Nan also looked at Xie Yi with a suspicious expression, and said in surprise: "Is it Xie Envoy's handwriting?" ”

"It was the envoy's doing, and the khan could ask if the wine came from a trading house called An Yixuan, which was the envoy's property." At this time, there is no need to be polite, let alone to hide it, so Xie Yi generously admitted it.

"Isn't Xie Envoy a minister of the Tang Dynasty? How do you know how to make wine? Yi Nan really expressed his puzzlement, it stands to reason that the winemaking is still done by craftsmen, and craftsmen are despised in Datang, which is very incompatible with Xie Yi's high-ranking officials.

"What's so strange about this, Xie Envoy has a wide range of knowledge, and occasionally he has an idea, and the clever deployment is a stroke of genius." Di Zhixun was not modest at all, and his mouth was full of beautiful words, which made Xie Yi feel a little embarrassed.

"I see, I didn't expect Xie Envoy to be versatile, it's really amazing." Yi Nan couldn't help nodding slightly, and while he was surprised and admired, he was probably also wondering if he had despised this young Tang envoy a little, at least lacking enough understanding.

"Khan praised it falsely, it's just a small skill of carving insects, as for this Qionghua brew, if Khan likes it, my caravan will sell more to the grassland in the future. However, this customs clearance and sale matter still have to trouble Khan to dredge it a lot. Xie Yi did not forget to even promote his own business.

However, this is not a public tool for private use, and it is a personal use of power, because it is of strategic significance and can achieve certain effects.

Qionghua is brewed and strong, which is very in line with the taste of the grassland people, especially in this cold season, if it is sold in a big way, it is loved and even relied on by more grassland herdsmen, it is a great thing.

Not to mention that it can make a lot of money from the grassland, it will also affect the lives of the people of Xue Yantuo to a certain extent, and even have an important impact.

Sometimes, the contest between the two countries is not necessarily only with real swords and guns, and these invisible and invisible means are also very effective and often come by surprise.

Yi Nan obviously didn't expect this, and nodded happily: "Of course, since it is Xie Envoy's caravan, Ben Khan will definitely give preferential treatment, and the grassland welcomes the caravan from the Tang Dynasty to bring us more exquisite items." ”

Xie Yi said: "Thank you Khan, you will definitely see my Datang caravan bring more novel and high-quality goods to Xue Yantuo." ”

"Come, let's toast to the versatility of the envoy and to this mellow wine!" Yi Nan was the first to stand up and raise a toast.

In front of the sweat tent, next to the bonfire, it was suddenly lively. (To be continued......)
