Chapter 8 Peixian Dog Tu, Raise the wine
Fengxiang Guan City, this place was originally Fengyi, and later changed to Fengxiang. It has ten pavilions under its jurisdiction, including the Surabaya Pavilion, which belongs to the township and is in charge of the township.
The city is quite lively, with people coming and going.
From afar, the city flag is hanging high. Qin Guoguan City is not like the random stalls on the left and right sides of the film and television dramas of later generations, but is similar to a large shopping mall, with walls on all sides, which is a closed place.
Cao Xiu is not here to hang out, but to collect money!
Qin Shi Huang walked in front, looking left and right. There are people who sell agricultural tools in Seki City, such as scythes. There are also merchants who sell pottery and lacquerware, and of course, there are also people who sell dogs.
"Drink!"
Dog Tu brandished a bright big knife, and blood gushed from the knife in his hand. Then use a peeling knife to easily remove the dog's fart completely, and then disembowel and clean it up quite clean. The action is smooth, and it has the style of cooking.
There were many people around in front of Goutu, men, women, and children. Most of them are richly dressed, and they are obviously the right families in the city, and there is no shortage of food and drink. After seeing Xiao He and Cao Xiu, he suddenly showed a sincere smile.
"I've seen the master Peng, Pavilion Chief!"
"I don't need to be polite today."
Xiao He smiled and waved his hand. He is a peaceful man and likes to make friends. Even if Fan Xu is just a mere dog slaughter, his relationship with Fan Xu is quite good.
At this time, Wang Jian also came up and looked at Fan Xu. As a dog slaughterer, Fan Xu is extremely strong, at least more than eight feet tall. He had a thick beard and a short coat of arrowroot, and his sleeves were rolled up to his arms, revealing his dragon-like muscles.
"What a strong man!"
Wang Jian couldn't help but speak in admiration.
Just rush this physique, and there is no problem in killing the enemy in battle!
It's a pity to be a dog butcher in this city!
"Huh? These two children were newly picked up by the pavilion chief? ”
"Hmm."
"Hmm...... It's quite handsome. ”
Fan nodded thoughtfully.
Don't look at his rough face, in fact, he is thick and fine. In history, he was able to break into the Hongmen Banquet to rescue Liu Bang, so he naturally had his ability.
"Wrap me all your dog's lungs and intestines."
"Okay!"
Fan Hao immediately wrapped the dog's lungs and intestines with lotus leaves, and also gave a fat dog leg and handed it directly to Cao Xiu.
"If there's something else, I'll go first."
"Done!"
Seeing that Cao Xiu was leaving, Qin Shi Huang directly stopped him.
"What are you going to do?"
"How can you not give money?"
"Give money?" Cao Xiu and Xiao He looked at each other, and then seemed to have heard the funniest joke, "Hahaha, you ask Fan Xu, does he want money if I give him?" ”
"How dare you be so presumptuous? As a Qin official, you should have held a three-foot wooden slab for the benefit of your rule. I never thought that it was relying on power to bully the head of Qian. Qin Law has a saying, Qin officials pass a penny, and they are the city! ”
Qin Shi Huang's face turned pale, and he pointed at Cao Xiu and scolded angrily.
Look at this dog slaughter, it's obvious that he's been bullied!
Let's look at Cao Xiu and Xiao He.
Obviously, this is a typical official-to-official protection!
He originally thought that Cao Xiu was a strange person, and he was very good to the servants in his house, and he thought that he was a good person. I never thought that all this was an appearance, and then I thought about the big house, tsk...... How much does this guy have to be greedy?
"You kid don't talk nonsense." Fan Hao frowned, "The pavilion chief helped me a lot in the past, my mother died of illness when I went to serve, and it was all thanks to the pavilion chief's help Zhang Luo to let my mother settle down." Don't say that you want to send some water, that is, give him a certain life, and so-and-so is willing! ”
"Say so much, let's go."
Cao Xiu raised his hand and patted Ah Zheng's head.
Unexpectedly, this kid has a sense of justice.
He and Fan Xu have a lifelong friendship, and they are both brothers in private. Because he knew Fan Xu's ability, ordinary ruffians couldn't get close to him. Previously, Cao Xiu encountered mountain bandits, and Fan Xu surrendered the three with his bare hands, and he also got the title of duke.
Naturally, these launches are nothing.
……
Qin Shi Huang was silent, his brows furrowed.
So, just now he misunderstood Cao Xiu?
It's just that he still feels a little weird.
It didn't take long for Cao Xiu to stop. There is a flag made of cloth in front of him, fluttering in the wind on the flagpole, and a wine word is written on it in black ink, which is the only wine shop in Shili Eight Villages.
The prohibition of alcohol in the Qin State is simply comparable to the prohibition of drugs in the future. The reason is simple, winemaking consumes a lot of grain, and Qin needs grain for conquest. In addition, some people drink too much and make trouble, so since Shang Jun started, the price of wine has been increased tenfold, and it is impossible for ordinary people to afford it.
Some Qianshou are addicted to wine, so they secretly use millet to make wine. It's okay if you don't find out, but if you are reported, you will be punished!
For example, the first year and the wax festival will be released on these two days, as long as you don't get drunk and drunk, even if you gather to drink, you will not be punished. Of course, only if you can afford to drink.
"Lord Peng, the pavilion chief is here?"
"Come on, come on, please inside!"
It was the two old women in the cloth skirts who came out, and after seeing Xiao He and Cao Xiu, they immediately went out to say hello.
Smelling the pungent aroma of wine, Wang Jian couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He was a heavy drinker, and he drank a lot when he was in the barracks. He hasn't been drinking for more than half a month, can he not be greedy?
"Come on, serve wine to the old man!"
"You're big!" Cao Xiu knocked on the kid's head without saying a word, "Haven't you heard that minors can't drink?" ”
"Haven't heard ......"
"You've heard it now."
Wang Jian covered his head, dumbfounded.
His addiction is also committed!
This kid is simply undercuted!
Cao Xiu smiled and looked at Ah Zheng, "Believe it or not, not only do I not have to pay for drinking here, but the two of them have to give me money." ”
"I don't believe it." Qin Shi Huang suddenly thought of something, and immediately slapped the table and stood up, "These two old women sell wine to make a living, why don't you still bully them?" ”
Cao Xiu smiled faintly, "Don't worry. Wang, go and bring some wine for me and the lord. ”
"Yui!"
These two old women are Wang Yuan and a martial woman, and they can open a wine shop in this downtown area, but they actually rely on Cao Xiu to mention something. Including the wine sold, it was actually brewed by Cao Xiu secretly.
What do you do in the Qin State to get money quickly?
It's very simple, just flip through Qin Law and you'll know.
Cao Xiu can't do the technical work of stealing people's property from the cornice, and he can't look down on this kind of thing. Therefore, Cao Xiu secretly made wine and sold it in private.
Soon, Wang Yuan brought two glasses of wine tremblingly.
Smelling the fragrant wine, Wang Jian couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This millet wine is very good, the wine is clear and brown, and it exudes an extremely rich aroma.
This is even more fragrant than the wine he drank in Xianyang!
Cao Xiu just glanced at it and frowned suddenly.
"Stand still, hold up your drink!"
"No, hands up!"
Wang Yuan and the martial woman were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed to admit their mistakes.
"The pavilion chief is angry, the pavilion chief is angry!"
"You're so daring!" Cao Xiu stood up, "You have a lot of water in this wine, right?" ”
"How do you know?"
Qin Shi Huang frowned.
This wine is obviously a good wine, he can't smell anything wrong, how did Cao Xiu know?
"Nonsense, I mix water every day, can I know?"
