Chapter 54: The Smell of Alcohol

"It is rumored that in ancient times, there was a prince who had a precious cow named Eight Hundred Miles, and he shared roast beef with his soldiers."

Although Xu Jidao had never heard of the deeds of this prince, he also understood at this time that he had not misunderstood the meaning of this sentence.

It means that the general and the soldiers are like brothers and sisters, eat and drink together, just like the rumored old man Lining, not only taking care of his subordinates when he was a general, even if he is just a small school officer now, he still takes care of the disabled veterans.

"Ning Gongzi, I heard that you wrote this poem to General Ning?"

Faced with Xu Jidao's question, Ning Wuxian did not answer directly, but asked him instead: "Where did Mr. hear this poem?" ”

This poem was written by him to his grandfather, but the Ning family kept a low profile about the fact that he was a poet immortal, and would never spread this poem.

Not surprisingly, it should have been spread by Miss Shen's channel.

The old man is the Shen family?

Why don't you come with Miss Shen?

Xu Jidao suddenly realized that he hadn't introduced his identity yet, and hurriedly bowed: "The old man's surname is Xu, and his single name is an anecdote, and there are several words." ”

"So you are Mr. Xu, the king of Xu Shiwang?" Ning Wuxian looked at the old man carefully.

It's no wonder that when you are over half a hundred years old, you can still have a pair of eyes like an untouched child, either with a simple heart, or an obsessed researcher.

Xu Jidao can come every day for an allusion, and it must be the latter.

"I have long admired the name of King Shi, you said that you are King Xu Shi, and I will invite you to come in and take a rest if I don't delist." Ning Wuxian hurriedly invited the master and servant to the backyard: "I just want to ask someone to work on something, and Mr. Xu came just in time." ”

Although Ning Wuxian didn't mention what it was, Xu Jidao still followed him to the backyard very respectfully.

In addition to asking Ning Gongzi for allusions, he also had some doubts that Ning Gongzi wanted to explain...... Hey?

As soon as Xu Jidao entered the backyard, he smelled an abnormal smell of wine, which made him indulge in it for a while, forgetting what doubts he had just now.

As a poet who often expresses his feelings, he often deals with fine wine.

Because of this, I got acquainted with the prefect of the New Year's Eve Jiaojiang Yanjiang, who was also delicious to drink.

Walking into the backyard, the aroma of wine was mixed with bursts of floral fragrance, coming from the direction of the kitchen, and Xu swallowed a few times greedily, and couldn't help asking: "Where did Ning Gongzi's wine come from?" ”

"Huh? Oh...... There is a vat of self-made wine. ”

Ning Wuxian prevaricated, for fear that Xu would misunderstand, and added: "No takeout." ”

It's okay to make wine without permission, and it's against the law to sell wine for profit.

When Xu Jidao heard this, he could only swallow his saliva and walked into the bedroom with Ning unharmed.

imagined that Shixian's bedroom should be fresh and elegant, or implied that the poetic style should be chic, but I didn't expect that Ning Wuxian's room was neat and simple, except for a bed, a set of tables and chairs, only a plaque covered with red cloth leaned against the wall.

Ning Wuxian picked up the plaque, and Piao Ling was about to help, he had already put the plaque weighing dozens of catties on the table and rolled up the red cloth.

The plaque was empty.

Piao Ling glanced at Ning Wuxuan as if he had realized something, and said in his heart: Ning Gongzi wants to ask for words after knowing the true identity of the master.

Who doesn't know that in addition to the fact that poetry is the strongest in the literary world, the words of the king of poetry are even more unique in the literary world.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a thousand words.

Just the plaque written by Xu Shiwang himself is hung at the door, which can attract many talented and beautiful people to copy and watch the post.

Seeing this, Xu Jidao couldn't help but think of this, he didn't reject it for a moment, but asked very excitedly: "Ning Gongzi wants to ask me to give words?" ”

If so, he couldn't ask for it!

It's just that Ning Gongzi has to compose a poem or write a poem for him in exchange.

"Definitely."

Ning Wuxian's two words without thinking directly choked the self-proclaimed amorous master and servant half to death.

Ning Wuxian did bring the two of them to see the plaque because Xu Jidao said that he was the king of poetry.

But it's just plain...... Look.

There is an inscription on the plaque of the King of Poetry, which is indeed extremely golden, but he opened the door to do business and did not let others come to the holy place to check in.

In addition, Xu Shiwang's words are golden, and it is easy for thieves to steal when hanging on the door.

When the trouble outweighed the added value of the inscription itself, he naturally chose to write it himself.

"I asked this word myself, but I chose two names for the shop, and I couldn't make up my mind, thinking that Mr. Xu, you have very high taste, and you will definitely be able to help me make a decision."

Xu Jidao was praised so red that he stroked his beard and said, "Come and listen, I will definitely give you a good counselor." ”

Ning Wuxian took out the two pieces of paper that had already been written from his left sleeve and placed them on the table.

In fact, he planned to let Ji Jin help judge.

Since there are more suitable candidates to send to the door, there is no need to use it in vain.

"Butterfly love flowers?"

When Xu Jidao saw the name of the brand, his face couldn't help but become solemn.

Just when he thought that the second piece of paper was also the name of the word card, he saw three words spread out on the table.

"Dark incense goes."

These two names are the alternative names that Ning Wuxian gave to the perfume shop.

Ning Wuxian gestured with two names and explained: ""Butterfly Loves Flowers" is a brand name, I don't have to say, Mr. Xu also knows this style of words, most of them are new words to express sorrow, and the girls can feel it when they see it. ”

Xu Daodao nodded with a deep groan.

This name does have a tendency to be liked by the daughter's family at first glance.

Xu Jidao said, his eyes fell on the three words "dark incense goes", and said with a smile: "I once wrote a sentence 'Spring light is gentle, and Huaxi is dark and fragrant', since Ning Gongzi is going to sell perfumes like incense, he shouldn't just stare at the girl's purse." ”

"You must know that there are many incense sticks in Ye's incense shop, all of which are sold to dignitaries and nobles, and even many peddlers and pawns are willing to pay silver to buy incense in order to compete for elegance.

Listening to your words, Ning Wuxiao knew that he had drilled the tip of the horns.

The initial customer positioning of perfume is indeed the elegant daughters.

I want to get bigger and bigger, and the name of the store should not be high, but popular.

"Mr. Xu is reasonable, so decided, the perfume shop will call Dark Fragrance." Ning Wuxian said, and re-covered the plaque with a red cloth.

Xu Jidao waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Ning Wuxian to ask him to mention these three words, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder if his handwriting was worthless, so Ning Gongzi didn't open this mouth.

"Ning Gongzi ......"

Why don't I help you inscribe and you write me a poem?

Before Xu Jidao could say it cheekily, a one-eyed partner rushed into the room full of alcohol, startling the master and servant.

How many catties of soju has this guy drunk before he has a strong smell of alcohol?!

"Childe, Miss Shen's forty-one bottles of perfume and Miss Ji's chrysanthemum perfume have precipitated."

"Wrap them up, and I'll send them over myself."

After Ning Wuxian finished speaking, his eyes fell on Xu Jidao, who was half-squinting his eyes and approaching the one-eyed boy and constantly sniffing the aroma of wine.

Seeing the appearance of Xu Daodao's wine worms, and thinking that the other party had helped him a lot just now, he said to the one-eyed boy: "Brother Tong, go and use a bamboo tube to beat two taels of my steamed wine and give it to Mr. Xu." ”

Although the degree of those distilled spirits is only 60 to 70 degrees, two taels is enough for an old man to drink happily.

"Okay."

The one-eyed boy naturally tasted the taste of steamed wine, anyway, the home-brewed wine does not cost money, and the people will not be investigated if they do not sue the officials.

It's just that the son only lets him play two or two, and the one-eyed boy feels very picky.

Xu Jidao came back to his soul and felt a little less, so he asked with a smile: "Does Ning Gongzi have anything else to help me with?" Why don't I do you another favor and give me two more? ”

As soon as you smell it, you know that it is a good wine, and it may be even stronger than the wine of the imperial tribute.

Yugong wine is an occasional barrel out of tens of thousands of barrels, Ning Gongzi's own steamed wine, I don't know when I will be able to get it, Xu Jidao is willing to show his old face for this wine.

"My friend Jiang Yan, the prefect, is also good at wine, I can't enjoy this kind of wine exclusively, but these two taels of wine are not enough for the two of us to take a sip."
