Chapter 31: The Wine Old Man and Jin Zizhen
"Old wine, where did you get these strawberries, they are so sweet." Banxia lay on the rocking chair and ate happily.
"Little Lao'er exchanged calligraphy and painting with others, little girl, when can I make wine?"
"Don't worry, you're exchanging calligraphy and painting for some lemons and rice wine, and some grapes along the way, and I don't know if there are grapes this season."
Old Wine: "...... There are lemons and rice wine, but there are no grapes in this season, so you have to add grapes to make strawberry wine? ”
"I want to eat it."
Old Wine: "......"
Lift your feet and walk out the door.
Banxia said: "The wine is old, you have to hurry up, otherwise the strawberries will be bad." ”
Old Wine: "......"
After dinner, Banxia began to be stunned again: I don't know what happened to Su Zhiyuan, it's all false to say that he is not worried.
In order to understand this dynasty, Banxia read a lot of history books, and I still know a little about the test.
In the Eastern Jin Kingdom, the examination place for candidates was very small, also called a single room, five feet long, four feet wide, and eight feet high.
The most terrible thing is that in the seventh year of Dongshun, that is, twenty-five years ago, there was a fire in the Gongyuan, an out-and-out tragedy, burning more than 90 people at a time!
The Gongyuan fire in the seventh year of Dongshun caused extremely serious casualties, so there are many records in the official history, which can clearly restore the history of this tragedy.
The "History Book" recorded: "In February Wuchen, I will try to raise people in the world, make fire in the tribute courtyard, and the imperial history will open its door, and burn and kill more than 90 people."
"Wan Bian" pointed out that the fire occurred in the "first field", that is, the first test of the meeting, "burned to death more than 90 people", because the fire was too serious, so most of the test papers were burned, and it had to be changed to August of that year to try again.
At that time, it was rumored in Beijing that the actual number of people was not only 90, but "16 out of 100......
The more Banxia thought about it, the worse his face became.
Mama Su looked at Ruyi: Find a way to make Mrs. happy.
Ruyi is silent.
Mama Su: It's not good for pregnant women to think too much, have you heard any gossip when you went out to buy vegetables recently, hurry up and talk about it.
Ruyi is silent.
Mama Su: "......"
After a moment, Ruyi stepped forward: "Master, do you want to see the slave and maid boxing or flying around the courtyard today?" ”
Banxia's face was pale: "Let's box." ”
Holding his head and looking at it, his thoughts flew again......
When Mama Su was thinking about a new way to make her wife happy, she was interrupted by the familiar noise outside the courtyard gate.
"Hey, stinky boy, let me go."
Banxia came back to his senses: "It's the old wine." ”
He's in trouble?!
The people in the courtyard of the Banxia Dynasty winked.
Su Yi and Ruyi walked to both sides of the courtyard gate, and entered the state of preparation with both hands clenched into fists.
"Hurry up and let the little old man come down."
"Are you sure it's here?" The warm voice is very familiar.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister-in-law, are you at home?"
The old man stopped struggling and looked at him with a hellish expression.
When he opened the door, he was greeted by Kaneko's familiar white robe, embroidered with cyan patterns on the cuffs, and a smile on his face.
The old man was being carried by the collar by a strange black man.
When the old wine saw Banxia, he couldn't care about it, and immediately shouted: "Little girl, save me!" ”
Jin Zizhen glanced at Jin Wu, and Jin Wu let go.
"Smack"
Jiu Lao fell to the ground, his already red nose became even redder, and he got up from the ground and ran behind Banxia.
The group sat down in the hall, Mama Su went out after serving tea, and Su Wuhou was outside the house.
Half Charto smiled grimly at the old wine.
The old man looked away and pretended to straighten his sloppy beard.
Banxia didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.
Old Wine: "Hey, Xiao Lao'er didn't mean to lie to you!" ”
Banxia raised her eyebrows: "Let's talk about it!" What's going on? ”
The old man touched his red nose: "That lone book is fake...... But the calligraphy and painting of the strawberry is real! ”
Banxia raised his eyebrows, and this one! Attaboy!!
"It's realistic!"
"That is, the little old man is the best at imitating handwriting and making old paper." The old wine arrogantly raised his head, very proud.
Banxia glared at him, his eyes swept between Jin Zizhen and Jiu Lao, and said bluntly: "How did you know each other?" ”
Jin Zizhen put together the jade fan, quite indignant: "He came to my wine shop last year to steal wine, and I caught him, and took a solitary book to exchange it with me, but later I found out that it was fake!" ”
The old man muttered: "If it weren't for the fact that your friend has a real one and only one copy in the world, and it happens to be seen by you, how can you see through the little old man's lone book is fake!" ”
Jin Zizhen's face darkened.
The old man was still continuing, a little hateful: "It's not that Xiao Lao'er said you, why are you so unconfident, Xiao Lao'er's ability can be real with fakes, if you firmly believe that your own is true, it is true." ”
Banxia: It makes sense~
The blue tendons on the forehead of Jin Zizhen jumped: that person's lone book is a holy reward, how can it be fake. I have the urge to hit someone again......
"Besides, Xiao Lao'er didn't just take a few jars of wine from you, as for you to block me in the capital, I didn't dare to come to the capital for several months."
Jin Zizhen: "A fake lone book, in exchange for a hundred jars of good wine and a hundred jars of wine in this son, as well as 10,000 taels of silver tickets, how can I not look for you!" ”
said, looking at Banxia: "Today, he planned to come to my house to steal rice wine, but I happened to be caught, saying that there were friends in this alley and he could pay off his debts, but he didn't expect it to be a sister-in-law." ”
Half summer strokes the forehead.
In a flash of inspiration, he thought of a pile of strawberries in the room, and then his eyes lit up, he looked at Jin Zizhen and said, "Are you interested in doing strawberry wine business?" ”
"Strawberry wine?"
"There is still a long time before the grape season, I am afraid that the wine in your hand is not enough to sell, it is better to make other fruit wines, this season, there are strawberries, hawthorn, star fruit... can be made into the corresponding fruit wine. ”
"Sister-in-law has figured out how to do it?"
"It's just a hobby." Banxia is modest.
"My sister-in-law is really talented in eating."
"Awards, awards."
"My sister-in-law said a price, and I bought it."
Banxia smiled: "It's better for us to cooperate, I will come up with the formula, and you will contribute manpower and material resources." ”
Jin Zizhen agreed: "How to calculate the benefits? ”
"The proprietor looks at it."
"......" Jin Zi really thought about it for a while, "I don't take advantage of my sister-in-law, after deducting the capital, we will divide the rest fifty-fifty, how about it?" ”
"Deal."
The old man looked at Banxia flatteringly: "It's done, can the little old man be the first to taste it?" ”
Banxia was in a good mood at this time, and readily agreed: "Yes." ”
Jin Zizhen took the recipe and left in high spirits, and the old man licked his old face and went to the Jin Mansion together, and said: I want to participate in the process of brewing wine!
Kaneko: "......"
When he returned home, the first thing he did was to order the butler to lock the cellar of the house and have someone watch over it day and night.
Then went to Master Jin's study, and the two talked for a long time about the fruit wine recipe, and Gu was happy.
When I got out of the study, I saw the grandmother next to Mrs. Jin waiting there from a distance.
"Young master, madam, please come over."
"It's so late, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Jin Zizhen raised his feet and walked around.
Mama said: "Madame ordered the slave to tell the young master that she believed what the young master said. ”
