Early in the morning, Cheng Yanjin came to Yuan'an Wine Shop again, and his heart was also a little anxious, tomorrow is Luo Shixin's big joy, and if the wedding banquet is not implemented, I am afraid that a big event will be missed.

As soon as he entered the door of the wine shop, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, "Master Jun, what a coincidence!" My proprietor came back last night. ”

Cheng was stunned, "Do you know I'm a soldier?" ”

He was dressed in a purple and red robe, a green scarf on his head, and he was dressed as a businessman, not like a soldier, and he looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously.

The shopkeeper snorted, "The military master is so powerful and majestic, how can he not guess it, besides, the military master usually comes to eat, doesn't he often say that he has fought with Li Xuanba, your axe shaft was bent by Li Xuanba's sledgehammer, and in the end, the war horse was not supported, but Li Xuanba was beaten by you and suffered internal injuries?" This is not what a military master is. ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled proudly, "That's right, take me to meet the owner of your family!" ”

"Master Jun, please come with me."

The shopkeeper took Cheng Yanjin to the fifth floor, pushed the door and entered a room, "Master Jun, please come in!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin's little heart was so nervous that he was pounding, he walked into the room, and saw Pei You standing in front of the window at a glance, Pei You was wearing a golden brocade floor-length skirt with flower and bird patterns, combing a high bun, and the jewels on her head, which was very different from the last time I saw her in Qinghe County.

The last time I saw her, her waist was as thick as a bucket, but when she was dressed up, she was plump and delicate like fat; The last time I saw her, she was with her hands on her waist, and her willow eyebrows were upside down, like the reincarnation of the dominatrix, and she was dressed up, demure and dignified, trimming her eyebrows, like Guanyin being reborn.

Cheng Yanjin only felt that his mouth was dry, he opened his mouth, he couldn't speak, he stood at the door and grinned, Pei You turned around, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, and he suddenly smiled brightly like a flower, and gave him a salute, "I was rude to Cheng Ye in Qinghe County last time." Please Master Cheng a lot, don't mind the little girl. ”

Cheng Biting Jin scratched the back of his head, and smirked: "That's if you don't fight, you don't know each other, how can I bother with Youniang." ”

Pei You was extremely disgusted with others calling her Youniang, but seeing that Cheng Biting Jin had big business to discuss, she didn't turn her face and attack, she smiled faintly, waved her hand and said, "Cheng Ye, please sit down!" ”

Cheng Yanjin sat down. Across a table, Pei You also sat down opposite, but the shopkeeper also sat down next to him, Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes, why is this person so uninteresting? He coughed dryly, "The shopkeeper is busy!" ”

"Huh! Not busy, not busy. It's still early, and the guests haven't arrived yet! ”

The shopkeeper spread out the paper and picked up the pen, ready to record the business they had discussed.

Cheng Yanjin was helpless, so he could only scold in his heart, and arched his hand: "That's the case, a friend of mine wants to get married and entrusts me to hold a wedding banquet, and I have decided to book a hundred tables of banquets with you." ”

After speaking. Cheng Yanjin was triumphant, wanting to see Pei You's reaction, Pei You heard that it was a hundred tables of banquets, and his willow-like eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Is Cheng Ye planning to charter a small shop?"

"Nope! No, it's a banquet at a friend's house, and I ask you to bring the tables and chairs, as well as the food and drinks. ”

"No problem, we can prepare. Don't know when you need a banquet? ”

"This ...... Tomorrow at noon. ”

"Tomorrow!"

Pei You exclaimed. She and the shopkeeper looked at each other, how could it be. Prepare a hundred tables of banquets a day, and it is too late to buy ingredients.

"Why didn't Cheng Ye say it a few days earlier."

Pei You complained a little: "I wasn't there last time, you can tell the shopkeeper!" How can I be called now, hey! ”

Pei You sighed, "Master Cheng, I'm sorry, we can't take this business." ”

"Don't! Other! Other! ”

Cheng Yanjin was anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't refuse, we can negotiate, the price is negotiable, you should do me this favor." ”

Pei You's eyes rolled, since the price is easy to say, then you can talk about it again, she smiled, "If it's urgent, I can only spend a high price to buy meat, fruits and vegetables, and I have to go outside to invite a chef, and I also have to borrow tables and chairs, so the price is a bit high, I can't see if Cheng Ye can accept it." ”

Anyway, it was Luo Shixin's money spent, Cheng Yanjin didn't feel distressed at all, as long as he could please Pei You, he didn't care how much money he spent.

"Money is not a problem, as long as the banquet can be held on time at noon tomorrow."

"Alright! I told Cheng Ye that the best wedding banquet is usually 80 yuan a table, but Cheng Ye is too anxious, we can only spend a high price to buy ingredients and hire people, so is it okay to ask for 80 yuan a table? ”

"No problem, eighty hangings are eighty hangings!"

Pei You saw that he agreed so happily, and immediately changed his words, "But there is no wine money in these eighty hangs, and now there is no rice wine, so I can only prepare good peach wine, and each table must add another ten hangs, as well as manpower and table couches and chopsticks, wine and food are transported on the road, and there is always a little tip and the like, Lin Lin finally ...... it."

Cheng Yanjin listened to it with a big head, and waved his hand a little impatiently, "Just tell me!" How much is a table? ”

Pei You squinted and smiled slyly, "Okay! For the sake of your brother-in-law's subordinates, I will pay a fixed price, a hundred hangings per table. ”

The shopkeeper next to him almost fell down in fright, and the best banquet was only thirty hanging a table, and when he came to this military master, it actually rose more than three times, what a big wrong!

They didn't know that Cheng Yanjin was generous with other people's money, and if he paid for it himself, ten hangs would be too expensive.

Cheng Biting Jin took out a fifty-tael silver cake from his arms, slapped it heavily on the table, and made a loud noise, "It's so decided, this is fifty taels of silver, take it first!"

Pei Youmei opened his eyes and smiled: "I took the fixed money, of course I have to make a receipt, so be it!" We sign a contract so that we cannot go back on the marriage so that we don't miss the marriage. ”……

Cheng Biting Jin left, Pei You gently blew the ink on the contract, his face was full of pride, and the shopkeeper next to him said cautiously: "The proprietor, this military master seems to be a little sick here." ”

The shopkeeper pointed to his head, and Pei You sneered disdainfully: "He is a little sick, and he was beaten out by me last time." ”

"But, tomorrow, a hundred tables! We really didn't have time. ”

"Humph! Who said let us do it, you go find a few wine shops, and you can put together a good banquet with 30 hangs per table, and make up a hundred tables to send to them. ”

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, "The proprietor, in fact, you don't need thirty hangs, as long as you have more seats, you can also negotiate the price, and twenty-five hangs is enough." ”

Pei You shook his head, "If you have twenty-five hanging money, you will definitely do a little worse, this is not very good, just count it as thirty hanging money, let them make a little more weight, taste better, and the wine will also be aged, this is our brand." ”

"I see, I'm going to find someone." ……

Generally, when people get married and do happy events, the banquet takes three days and three nights, but the imperial court advocates frugality during this time, so the three-day banquet is changed to one day, starting at noon and ending in the evening.

Luofu has long been a lantern, hanging with the big red Xi character, a group of joyful, just dawn, the wine shop moved a hundred sets of tables and couches, the hall is up and down, the courtyard is outside the courtyard, there is a shed, the shed is full of tables and couches.

The wedding banquet implements a joint table system, the wine and food are placed on the table, a single person sits in front of the table, the lacquer plate on the table is full of all kinds of melon and fruit snacks, honey and pine nuts, and the guests sit with the table, there are no rules, but the joint table system of the Sui and Tang dynasties is that men and women sit oppositely, men sit on one side, and women sit on the other side.

But no one sat in a luxuriously arranged shed at the top, it was the main seat, the seat of the king of Chu and the princess, and there were special people guarding it, and no one was allowed to enter.

Early in the morning, the guests will come in an endless stream, there are generals on horseback, there are generals' wives who sit in horse-drawn carriages or ox carts, dressed up in fancy clothes, Luo Shixin's guests are mainly military-based, the military and political division of the Great Sui is very clear, it is two completely different systems, the army does not interfere in politics, the government does not care about the army, except for the military department, the military department is a bridge between the military and the government.

In front of the gate, Luo's father wore a red robe, a gauze hat, and welcomed the guests with a red face.

"Congratulations to my uncle for marrying a good daughter-in-law, Shixin Cave House is getting married, and my uncle is holding his grandson early!"

The guests said flattering words, and Luo's father smiled all over his face, and his mouth couldn't close his smile, "Hehe! Rejoice and rejoice, please come in. ”

"I'm being sluggish today, please bear with me!"

Waves of guests came one after another, and when it was close to noon, thousands of guests had arrived, and the wine and food were served, the portion was sufficient, the taste was good, and everyone praised the food.

At this time, a subordinate quietly stepped forward, pulled Luo's father's sleeve, whispered a few words to him in his ear, Luo's father frowned, explained two words, and hurriedly followed the subordinate into the house.

In a room, Cheng Yanjin sat on one side with a sad face, and the shopkeeper of the wine store sat on the other side with a smiling face.

"Is there anything wrong with the wedding reception?" Father Luo hurriedly walked into the house and asked.

Pei You drank tea and was silent, the shopkeeper stood up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Most of the wine and food have been served, and the proprietor of my house has instructed, can you settle the account first, the small shop is small and small, and I really can't afford it." ”

Father Luo nodded, this is normal, usually the payment is settled after most of the food is served, he has no objection, so he asked, "How much is it in total?" ”

"A total of 10,000 hangs, remove the fixed money of 500 hangs, and the rest is 9,500 hangs, and you can also pay gold and silver."

"How much?"

Luo's father exclaimed, he was too busy these days to ask about the price, and he was stunned when he heard that it would cost 10,000 yuan.

"Old man, a table of one hundred hangings, a total of ten thousand hangings."

After staying for a long time, Father Luo hurriedly pulled Cheng Yanjin aside, and whispered anxiously: "Is there any mistake, one hundred hanging money for one seat, and the Sanjin wine shop is only thirty-five hanging one seat at most." ”

Father Luo had negotiated the price with Sanjin Liquor in advance, knew the market, and heard that it would cost a table of 100 yuan, so he was suddenly a little anxious
