167. On Wine and Pang Tong

The morning light dispersed, leaving Yuan Shang alone to sit on the tall building, the black and white tiger chasing the moon banner on the city tower sounded, on the city tower, Yuan Shang no longer spoke, his expression was reset and silent, high down, the straight official road kept having cavalry whistling past.

Youzhou in late autumn, the leaves have withered, from the location of Yuan Shang, a withered yellow color, the location of Jixian is located in the northernmost part of modern Tianjin, located in the heart of Beijing, Tianjin, Tang, Cheng four cities, although the autumn will be faster than the climate of Jingzhou much milder, but it is not bad, some of the more cold-resistant animals, are not even ready to hibernate, compared to the contemporary Beijing and Tianjin generation of haze is indeed a lot better.

From the time the sun climbed to the top of the mountain to the time when the sun hung in the middle of his head, Yuan Shang had been staring ahead, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking, but he didn't come to disturb him, and the black figure didn't set off again, nor did he make a little sound and shadow, and disappeared.

This leisurely afternoon was indeed Yuan Shang's rare rest time, and in the past three hours, no one came to him to report the military situation, and there was no approval document that was folded into a small mountain that needed his approval, but he made a half-day leave for himself.

This kind of rare rest is always reserved for idlers, just like that very interesting remark, comfort is reserved for the dead, life is already very difficult, Yuan Shangruo is willing to be a rich man is not difficult, but on this road, it is destined that he will not be able to enjoy a leisurely life for half his life.

Gently getting up, he put on the only golden helmet that symbolized the status of 80,000 tigers and wolves, bathed in the noon sun, and his slender body looked even more majestic and tall under the sunlight.

Pick up the street and go downstairs. Turn a corner. Frustrated Hu and more than a dozen guards instantly greeted him.

"My lord." Frustrated Hu and a dozen of his personal guards gave a military salute. The waist is straight, and it looks unusually majestic.

Yuan Shang nodded and said indifferently: "In the past few hours, has a gentleman looking for me?" ”

"Yes," Frustrated Hu nodded: "Two hours ago, the military advisor came to you once, and soon after, the judge and the master of Xun also came once, an hour ago. General Ju Yi and General Xu Huang also came once, and half an hour ago, Captain Yun also came once. ”

"Hmm" Yuan Shang nodded slightly when he heard this, but he was not surprised, and said after thinking for a moment: "Let them go to the council hall together." ”

"Whoa." Frustrated Hu hugged his fists, turned around, and hurriedly went to arrange.

Soon after, Tian Feng and Xun Chen, Juyi, Xu Huang, Yunhe and other scribes and generals who stayed in Jixian County went towards the meeting hall. Rightfully occupied by it.

Hot wine was already brewed in the council chamber, and the weather was getting cooler. Drink some piping hot wine to warm your stomach and limbs.

"Meet my lord." The door of the council hall was open, and these literati and military generals rushed in, either clenching their fists or arching their hands, and said in a deep voice.

"Sit down." Yuan Shang, who was in the first place, waved his hand and motioned for them to take a seat.

Seeing that the generals and strategists were seated, Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Try the new wine that Du Xu just brewed not long ago, it's not bad, it's spicy enough, and it's refreshing enough to drink." ”

When everyone present heard this, they raised their eyebrows slightly, seven or eight people, but there was no one who didn't like wine, of course, the so-called love is different from Zhang Fei's kind of alcoholism, but it doesn't hurt to drink a little.

Yuan Shang took the lead in picking up the wine bottle, he personally poured the wine, and before he tasted it, a fragrance came to his nose, Yuan Shang's nose moved slightly, but he spoke three points higher about the newly brewed wine of Du Xu in his mouth.

Everyone in the hall poured wine and lifted the wine bottles, and they were also attracted by the sensation that came to their noses, but they couldn't wait to drink it.

"Drink." Yuan Shang fell down and took the lead in drinking, and the generals and scribes who sat down followed one after another.

In the hall, the drinking actions are clear, the scribes wave their sleeves, and the generals are much more heroic, which is exactly in response to the sentence 'civil and military'.

"Good wine." A cup of hot burning knives went down to the stomach, the throat to the stomach instantly warmed, and a trace of autumn cold caused by the autumn dissipated.

Ju Yi Tian Feng and the others also looked a little unsatisfied, the first time they drank such a high-alcohol wine, among the three scribes, in addition to judging Tian Feng, Xun Chen, a person who was not good at drinking, instantly had a trace of flushing on his cheeks, but it was like a shy woman, which made people smile at first sight.

Ju Yi, these generals, were very happy, only to hear him laugh and say: "This Du boy's wine is getting more and more tasteful, in contrast, the so-called good wine that the last general drank before is not drunk by people at all, no, lord, today's product, can spoil my tongue, the last general will not be able to drink those sweet and sour bad wine in the future, the old Ju is thick-skinned and asks you for a little back, okay?" ”

Everyone in the tent laughed, but they didn't think Ju Yi's words were too exaggerated, after drinking this wine, compared with all kinds of good wine they had drunk before, it was really like drinking river water, the strength was too bad, the people in the army, the temperament was strong, and they liked spirits the most, but the spirits they drank in the past were indeed too different from the new varieties made by Du Xu, although they did not have any concept of alcohol concentration, but after drinking, the burning feeling still made their hearts feel very comfortable, and they drank this kind of liquor that was named by Yuan Shang' After burning the knife's liquor, and then compare, these strategist generals really can't drink other wine.

Regarding their reaction, Yuan Shang knew in his heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as Du Xu doesn't object, this wine will be given as much as you want, but the rules in the army can't be broken, how much should be quantified, otherwise don't blame the military order for being ruthless." ”

"The lord is magnificent."

Xu Huang is also slightly happy, he is also a person who loves wine, this Du Xu is the next generation of the god of wine Du Kang, leading troops to fight or give advice may not work, but this wine-making technique is the world's first-class, a few years ago he was exiled to Bingzhou, just when Yuan Shang opened the road to recruitment, with a ' In the past few years, all the spirits drunk by the tiger wolf in Bingzhou were brewed by him, which tasted much better than the good wine circulating on the market, but this time it was against the sky, this hand 'burning knife' in Xu Huang's opinion can definitely make the people or soldiers who are addicted to alcohol love it within a few decades, especially in Liangzhou and Youzhou, which are cold places in winter, such high-concentration spirits that warm people's stomachs are definitely the best choice.

"Since you think it's not bad, wait until you disperse and go to the craftsman camp to find Du Xu, and get ten catties for each person, look at your appearance, and be ashamed to say it."

Seeing that even Ju Yi and Tian Feng, who have always been very drunk and drunk, are salivating, Yuan Shang is really a little speechless, just a liquor with a high alcohol concentration is so amazing, if you get them some Moutai Wuliangye and the like, they must not go crazy, fortunately, Yuan Shang has drunk the so-called good wine that is more popular in the world, and it tastes sweet and sour, more like a juice with a low concentration, and it is no wonder that history records that Zhang Fei was not drunk after drinking more than a dozen cans, because of this, Yuan Shang Du Xu kept researching new wine, in the cold north, Shochu still has a great effect on military deployment in winter, at least the soldiers do not have to suffer from the cold and cold every day, and a pot of hot burning knives is indeed much warmer, and they can be more relaxed in fighting.

"Huh? The wine smells, so fragrant. But at this moment, an inopportune voice sounded, Yuan Shang's eyes moved slightly, and everyone in the tent reacted differently, all looking out of the door.

"It's you." Ju Yi was the first to stand up, looking disdainful.

Pang Tong, who had a dusty face, smiled narrowly, walked into the conference hall by himself, and said with a smile: "How can you have a good wine to drink without me, brothers, it's a little unkind." ”

The figure of the frustrated Hu chased after him from behind, with a depressed look on his face, hanging his head, if he was frustrated, he would definitely slap him, such a look, as if he had been teased.

didn't wait for Yuan Shang and everyone in the hall to say anything, but saw Pang Tong's body grabbing the remaining half pot of wine in front of Ju Yi's table like a flexible ape, ignoring Ju Yi's murderous expression, he drank it all heroically, and let out a satisfied moan when it was over, which made Ju Yi instantly angry.

"You bastard, before leaving, you stole the 'Baicao Brew' that I treasured for many years and was reluctant to drink, and you haven't even settled the account with you, and now you drank my fine wine, are you really looking for a beating?" Ju Yi's brain is blue, the seven orifices are almost smoking, Pang Tong's goods, before leaving, he also followed the wine he had treasured for many years and was reluctant to drink, and then he drank his burning knife unscrupulously, which is tolerable and unbearable, Ju Yi's mentality of being unafraid of Taishan that he has cultivated for many years has completely collapsed.

Tian Feng and Xu Huang glanced at the angry Ju Yi with some pity, and their bodies kept looking at Pang Tong's eyes, as if they were wary of thieves.

"It's enjoyable, it's really enjoyable, it's not worth it." Pang Tong stretched out his dirty sleeves and wiped the remaining wine from his mouth, and said with a little comfort.

"Eight lambs." Seeing that Pang Tong did not have a trace of 'eating people's soft mouths and short hands', this time he was completely angry, and with a lift of his arm, several cold winds went towards Pang Tong.

Yuan Shang, who was seated, didn't stop it, and looked like he was watching a good show. (To be continued......)
