Volume 1 Nandu: Prosperity in the Last Days Chapter 72 Smoke Lock Pond Willow
When the family was busy in the back kitchen, there was a sudden commotion outside, Zhou Bin hurriedly went out to see the situation, and came back dejected after a while, "Huh...... These scholars are so rude, they should have been reunited at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but what are they doing here? β
Hearing about Tian Yang's people, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Cuiyun asked, "Are Zheng Gongzi and Qian Gongzi here again?" β
Zhou Bin shook his head and said, "No, it's a group of people I don't know, and that nerd was in there last time." β
The idiot he said was Jin Shengsi, but now he is still called Zhang Cai, because everyone calls him "idiot" in private because of his outrageous behavior last time. Hearing that he was also here, Li Xiaojun suddenly became interested and said with a smile, "There is business coming to the door again, this Mr. Zhang is really good, and he also knows that he has the potential to be a scalper for me!" β
Zhou Bin They don't know what a scalper is, but some new words often pop out of her mouth, and they have long been surprised, Xiao Wu said hesitantly, "But you still want to bake moon cakes?" β
In addition to the ability to settle down, Li Xiaojun only has three minutes of heat to do other things, and the same is true for baking moon cakes, she is not interested in baking two ovens, and when she saw that Aunt Zhou was eager to try, she taught her the trick and let her continue to bake, and she was on the side to point out. Aunt Zhou is really a capable person, she learns everything quickly, and she has nothing to guide after only two ovens.
After teaching the apprentice, the master starved to death, Li Xiaojun was bored at this time, and said impatiently, "Aunt Zhou will just bake it again, who is impatient to stay in the kitchen all the time!" Let's go out with Miss Ben and meet them! β
When everyone saw that her eldest lady's temper had come up again, they knew that she had made up her mind, so they had to choose to back down. No way, who made her the boss.
Li Xiaojun took Cuiyun to the front hall after the wall, and saw more than a dozen scholars huddled together to drink tea, the first middle-aged and elderly scholar, although the age is not young, but there are no wrinkles on the face, the waist and back are also straight, and the hair is combed meticulously, especially a goat beard under his chin is taken care of like a Luoyang shovel, at first glance, he is a very elegant and clean person.
However, although this person's appearance is elegant, but the words he said were very polite, at this time he was teaching Jin Sheng sigh, "I said that if you pick up the little brother, you are in Min Laozi to beg for a cup of tea, and you praised the music here to the extent that you are drunk, we can't even celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the laborers are here to move the crowd here, but they are not here to drink the tea here." β
The person who spoke was Zhang Dai and Zhang Zongzi, who finished fighting with Yang Wencong, drank tea with Min Wenshui, and now came to Meixianglou to kick the hall. It's just that the tea here is really almost meaningless, he didn't want to take a second sip after taking a sip, frowned and said, "The tea here is very ordinary, where can it be as delicious as the tea from Min Laozi!" β
Jin Shengsigh didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience in front of his idol, he was born poor, and his taste buds had long been polluted by all kinds of cheap food, so naturally it was impossible to be as tricky as him, and he heard him say that the tea here was not good, so he had to nod his head again and again, "Tao Gong is right, the tea here is indeed not as good as Min Laozi's, but we are here to enjoy the wonderful sound, please don't mind!" β
Li Xiaojun gritted his teeth when he heard it, and said in his heart Who are you, this old man, such awesome, does your family know? This is oolong tea, although it is not obvious now, it is a famous six famous teas in the future, you actually say that it is not delicious?
I'll your grandma's legs!
In fact, what she doesn't know is that the technology of shaking green has not yet been invented, and the taste of oolong tea is very ordinary, and it cannot be elegant. The so-called shaking green is to beat, put the freshly picked tea leaves in a cylindrical cylinder and rub them, deliberately breaking the skin of the tea leaves, so that the fragrance inside can be emanated. This is an important process for making oolong tea, and it will take decades to invent it, because without this process, the current oolong tea taste is really not good. Li Xiaojun didn't know this at all, she just bought it back when she heard a familiar name in later generations, and as a result, she made a fool of herself in front of the experts.
In addition to being dissatisfied with Zhang Dai, he was even more dissatisfied with Jin Shengsi, this thing was naΓ―ve and reckless when he came last time, and there was no fireworks on his body, but he turned into a pug wagging his tail and begging in front of this bullshit Tao Gong, and the old lady even played a world famous song for him alone, I really bought a watch last year!
Although Jin Shengxi had already put himself in a very low position, Zhang Dai still didn't let him go, looked at his flattering face and said seriously, "If you can't hear the fairy voice you say, then what kind of crime should you be guilty of?" β
Jin Sheng sighed a little weakly, and said in his heart that Mrs. Li's temper is very strange, I just fooled you over and rubbed a song by the way for the sake of your wrist being big enough, if you can't hear me, what can you do, is it possible to learn from those vulgar martial artists to break in?
Zhang Dai saw that the expression on his face was very strange, and knew that he must be holding back, so he snorted heavily, "Could it be that you are deliberately teasing us, how could such an act be done by my generation of scholars?" β
Jin Shengsian knew that he couldn't hide it, glanced around at the others, and saw that they were also suspicious, so he stalked his neck and said angrily, "Hmph, this song is really heavenly, rare in the world, if there is a lie, from now on I will not be right." β
"Not really!" Zhang Dai saw that he had a clear attitude, so he smiled and said, "You just need to give me the first appreciation of the newly reviewed "Water Margin"!" β
"Okay, okay, this bet is good!" A young scholar interjected, "Brother Ruocai, I've heard that the threshold of Meixianglou is very high, even if there is really fairy music, we may not be able to hear it, can you really give us a feast on our ears?" β
"This ......" Jin Sheng sighed a little weakly, in recent times, countless scholars have fallen here and sunk in the sand, Zheng Sen has come so many times, and he has smashed more than a thousand taels of silver and has not fulfilled his wish. But he listened to the song in a daze, and he still hasn't been confused.
"In short, even if I let go of this old face, I have to beg Li everyone again."
The scholars feel reasonable, there are more than 20 people in their group, and Zhang Zongzi, who is famous all over the world, is leading it, even if Li Xiaojun insists on his principles, he has to give some face, right?
"Well said!" Another scholar spoke, "With Brother Ruocai's words, I will not come in vain this time." β
"Mr. Zhang is only eight buckets tall and suave, and he will definitely be able to pry open the door of Meixianglou!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little embarrassed, and they said in their hearts Who is so shameless, this Zhang Cai is sloppy and sloppy, and when he speaks, he shows a mouthful of big yellow teeth, how can he be a little graceful!
But Zhang Cai was very useful, and arched his hand towards the man, "Mr. Xu is very right, I will do my best in the future!" β
Everyone applauded, as if the door of Meixianglou had been opened, and Li Xiaojun was waving to them. But they soon found that they were thinking too much, time flew by, Xiao Wu had already added two rounds of tea, and Li Xiaojun hadn't shown up yet - could she really be such a big name that she didn't even give Zhang Zongzi face?
"Why hasn't anyone come out to receive me yet?" Mr. Xu couldn't sit still, and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm waiting for so many people, and I have Mr. Tao An to help, can't I invite her out to see her?" β
Jin Shengsi's face stiffened and he was about to explain, but Zhou Bin walked out with a smile, still holding a tray in his hand with a piece of rice paper on it, "Gentlemen, it's still the old rule, ten taels of silver per person." β
A scholar generously threw two silver tickets of one hundred taels to him, "I understand this rule, I am out of this silver, hurry up and go up!" β
Mr. Xu suddenly took out a large amount of silver tickets and put them in the tray, and said with a sneer, "We are not right in the couplet, Li Zhenniang doesn't need to come out, I will pay a thousand taels of silver, can you ask the eldest lady to play that song for me?" β
Zhou Bin shook his head, returned the very heavy silver ticket to him, and shook the upper link in his hand again, "What we are in charge of, it's still the old rule, you can enter the lower couplet, and you can also listen to music." I'm sorry, I can't enter or listen to the music, otherwise please go back! β
"Good!" Everyone had no choice but to give up, and a scholar picked up the upper couplet and handed it to Zhang Dai, "Tao Gong please!" β
Zhang Dai took it and glanced at it, and felt that winter had come early!
"Smoke lock pond willow?"
Looking at the five words in Zhou Bin's hand, Zhang Dai suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he almost squirted a mouthful of old blood on the ground.
Jin Shengxian glanced at it, and also panicked, and muttered, "This couplet not only contains the five elements, but also has a far-reaching artistic conception. Absolutely, another absolute! β
"Thirteen!" A scholar looked up to the sky and sighed, "None of us came out!" β
"We are also people who read poetry and books, but we were blocked by a woman in a green building, how can we see Jiangdong's father again in this life?"
When Zhang Dai saw this, he knew that it was impossible to go in, so he decided to rescue it again, turned his head and took Jin Shengsi's hand, and said earnestly, "Brother Ruocai, our ability to wait is really limited, please ask for us to show your old face and ask for it once?" β
Jin Sheng sighed helplessly, so he had to turn his head and tell Zhou Bin about the cause and effect, and finally took out a tael of silver to bribe him, "Brother Zhou, this matter is all because of me, and I also ask my brother to come in and make an announcement, please Zhenniang play another song for me, I am very grateful!" β
Although the people in Meixianglou called him a nerd behind his back, Zhou Bin's impression of Jin Shengsian was still very good, and he was about to agree, when Mr. Xu, who smashed people with a thousand taels of silver tickets just now, spoke again, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, if Zhenniang can play this song for us, we are willing to pay two thousand gold as a reward." β
"What are these words?" Zhou Bin turned around and was about to go in, when he heard that he actually used yellow and white things to defile his own young lady, he couldn't help but change color and said, "Haven't you seen silver as my young lady?" You go to the old courtyard to inquire, our Zhenniang can lose a thousand taels of silver in one night, how can we ever bend our waists for yellow and white things? β
Mr. Xu sneered, "Then five thousand taels!" β
Zhou Bin's heart chuckled for a moment, but then he returned to normal, and said solemnly, "Hmph, my young lady has rules online, even if you have gold and silver, my young lady will not be tempted." β
Seeing that things were going to get worse, Jin Shengxian hurriedly got up and grabbed Mr. Xu, bowed down and apologized, "Brother Zhou, don't misunderstand, this is really not our intention, please don't mind." β
Zhang Dai took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, "The main reason is that the song is too tempting, please don't shirk it!" β
Zhou Bin felt the weight of the silver, and suddenly turned his anger into joy, "Good, good, good!" I'm going to be in charge! β
However, before he arrived in the backyard, Li Xiaojun's voice came from the wall, "No need to report, I've always been here." β
