092 Tricks on the Wine Table
Under the guidance of the attendants, Lin Yuan and Chen Fei came to Mengxian Tower, this Mengxian Building is the premier luxury restaurant in the capital, only high-ranking officials and dignitaries can enter, Song Qing and Wu Dashi are all feudal officials, so the entire top floor is covered.
Lin Yuan and Chen Fei went up to the top floor, and saw that there were already more than a dozen people waiting for them, and the attendants came over to introduce them one by one, Chen Fei's history was not well learned, and those names were his left ear and his right ear were rising, but Lin Yuan was different.
These names are all pivotal in the history of modern Chinese warfare, Song Qing and Wu Dayi needless to say, more than a dozen people here, as well as the previous commander of the Guizi Army commander in Lushun Jiang Guidi, although this person is not as qualified as Song Qing, Wu Dayi, or the Twist Army, this Twist Army is a peasant rebel army, in the eyes of the Qing court is naturally a bandit, but this Jiang Gui is a close confidant of the Mongolian prince Monk Greenqin, although Monk Greenqin has been dead for a long time, no one can underestimate him.
There is also the governor of Liangjiang, the minister of Nanyang trade Liu Kunyi, in the history known to Lin Yuan, in the later period of the First Sino-Japanese War, as the minister of the Qincha, he commanded Wu Dashi and other soldiers and horses to counterattack the Japanese army, and was also a fierce general in the Hunan army. In the Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Liangjiang commanded the military affairs, administrative and other affairs of Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Anhui provinces, which were the richest regions in the Qing Dynasty, and their annual taxes accounted for one-third of the Qing court's finances.
So why is it called the Governor of Liangjiang? Originally, the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui were originally one province, called "Jiangnan Province", so they were called "Liangjiang" together with Jiangxi Province, and later the Qing court should have split Jiangnan Province into two provinces because Jiangnan Province was too rich.
Looking at the other people here, they are all high-powered military attachΓ©s.
Although they were all high-powered feudal officials, Lin Yuan was their nominal boss after all, so they still came to the restaurant early to wait for Lin Yuan, but this group of people were not convinced by Lin Yuan in their hearts, they thought that Lin Yuan was just a charlatan, and they didn't know what tricks Lu Dao played, and deceived Lafayette and the Holy Lord to hand over the military power to him.
This is actually the reason why the Empress Dowager Cixi asked Lin Yuan to lead the troops, Cixi saw that Lin Yuan had unimaginable ability, so she thought about letting Lin Yuan give it a try, even if she couldn't recover the lost ground, she didn't worry about Lin Yuan becoming the king by himself.
Lin Yuanzhi said that if he didn't convince them today, he would not be able to fight in the future!
Liu Kunyi stood up first and said: "God favored me in the Qing Dynasty and sent us Lord Lin, it is really a blessing for me in the Qing Dynasty, don't say anything else, drink it first!" β
As he spoke, he shouted outside the door: "Shopkeeper, serve the wine." β
I only heard a promise outside the door, as soon as the door opened, a few guys, one carrying two jars of wine, put a jar in front of everyone present, and then went out, Liu Kun lifted a jar with one hand, opened his mouth, bit the plug on it, raised the jar, and said with a smile: "Drink!" β
Everyone responded one after another, stood up, Lin Yuan also stood up, everyone poured for a while, in order to keep him awake at all times, Lin Yuan rarely drank, at this time it was difficult for him, he glanced at Chen Fei, and thought: "Isn't this kid known as a thousand cups not drunk every day, see if you can let him help me block the wine." β
At this time, I saw that Chen Fei also accompanied the group of people to pour it for a while, Lin Yuan reluctantly drank two sips, Song Qing saw that Lin Yuan didn't drink much, and immediately became contemptuous, and made a look with a few people, and wanted to pour Lin Yuan down together. As soon as Liu Kun sat down, he stood up, carried the jar, and said with a smile: "Master Lin is only twenty-eight years old, but he is really young and promising!" I think when I was twenty-eight years old, I didn't have any fame! β
Lin Yuan didn't care when he saw him suddenly come out with such a foul word, he knew that many of these people were from the army, and they hadn't read much, so it was impossible to expect them to be polite.
Song Qing took everyone to drink again, Jiang Guidi stood up again, and said with a smile: "When I was in my twenties, I followed the old prince to kill the twister, which time I took a few brothers to touch the twister's camp in the middle of the night, cut off ten heads, and when I came back, the old prince also gave me a war knife. β
As he spoke, his expression darkened, and he said, "Alas! The old prince is no longer there, don't say more, drink! β
Everyone shouted in unison, drank again, Wu Dashi stood up, took the mouth of the jar down, turned around, signaled to everyone that the wine had been drunk, and shouted at the door: "Take the wine." β
When the new jar of wine was put in his hand, Wu Dayi stood up, bowed his hand to Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, I, Wu, give you a glass!" β
Lin Yuan also stood up and agreed with a smile, Wu Dashi poured down half a jar of wine in one go, but Lin Yuan only drank one sip, Wu Dashi smiled and said, "What? Lord Lin, refuse to give face? β
Everyone chimed in: "That's it! Drink like this, like a little girl. β
Lin Yuan clenched his fists and said, "If you are not good at drinking, let my brother drink a few drinks on my behalf of you and everyone." β
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Fei, and at this time, he saw Chen Fei staggering to his feet, pointing to the recliner next to him with his hand, and said with a big tongue: "I'm a little drunk, go and lie down over there for a while." So saying, he walked to the edge of the chaise longue step by step, fell asleep.
Now everyone was even happier, waiting to see Lin Yuan's ugliness, Lin Yuan had no choice but to pour half of the jar, and everyone applauded!
At this time, Liu Kun smiled and said, "Don't patronize drinking, serve food!" Under the order, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were brought up like flowing water, and everyone was eating and chewing!
This is actually a trick of Liu Kun and others, and those who have drunk know that even if they drink too much, they will not feel drunk in a short time, and it will take a while to feel dizzy. This can be explained by modern biological science: after people drink alcohol, the wine is in the digestive system, that is, the stomach and intestines, and the alcohol has not entered the human blood circulation system, so it will not be carried to the brain by the blood circulation system, and people will not feel dizziness and other drunken symptoms.
So as soon as Liu Kun and them want to serve the food, they just have to wait for a while, and then come to see Lin Yuan's embarrassment!
Just when Lin Yuan was helpless, his hand suddenly touched his pocket, and a bottle of medicine inside caught his attention. The bottle was given to him by Zhang Hua, and it was designed to stimulate the body's production of two enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
The reason why people get drunk is because the human body has no way to quickly metabolize alcohol, that is, ethanol, into carbon dioxide and water, and the process of ethanol metabolic conversion requires two enzymes, ethanol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, which determine the amount of alcohol a person drinks.
At this time, Lin Yuan was already a little fluttering, and he hurriedly said, "I'll miss it." And he walked out.
Everyone in the room was a veteran of drinking, and it could be seen at a glance that Lin Yuan had drunk too much, and thinking about Lin Yuan being unconscious for a while, he couldn't help but snicker.
Lin Yuan came outside, poured out a few pieces to eat, after the pill entered the body, the two kinds of coal were quickly produced, and countless ethanol was quickly converted into carbon dioxide and water, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a lot clearer.
Lin Yuan returned to the house confidently and laughed loudly: "We can't drink like this, drink in front of the jar, drink more and drink less, others don't know how to say, man, go to the big bowl!" β
Everyone didn't know what to do, and they all agreed, Lin Yuan smiled secretly in his heart: "I have to let you suffer a big loss!" β
