Chapter 20: Drinks at the Wine Shop
Recently, Zhu Youzhu has been flipping through small books.
At the beginning, he only felt obscure and difficult to understand, but now when he looks back, he feels that the aftertaste is endless, and the more he looks at it, the more flavorful it becomes.
A few days later, he calmed down and visited the Hanlin Academy again.
It is true that these talented people who are full of poetry and books, full of philistine faces, make him very unhappy, but he can compare his heart to his heart, and he has studied hard for ten years, and once he was ranked first in eight stocks, isn't it just to be an official?
At best, this is positive and enterprising.
The small book not only talks about the way of the emperor and the way of the king, but also dabbles in human nature......
Zhu Youzhu has benefited a lot.
His mentality is also changing, no longer panicked, no longer anxious, and timid.
He gradually became confident and gradually had a backbone......

Sue.. State, Wu County.
Li Qing and Zhu Jianshen settled in a wine shop.
"Man, come to the altar for good wine, come back to ......" Li Qing looked at the tavern, early in the morning, there were no customers in the wine shop, he asked, "Do you have any signature dishes in your store?" โ
"Guest officer, the roast duck in the small shop is a must, and it is the most suitable for drinking." The guy smiled kindly.
Zhu Jianshen pursed his lips and muttered: "What kind of roast duck to eat on this hot day, so hot...... Are there any cold dishes? โ
"Uh... Naturally, there is a ......."
"The guest officer doesn't know anything," a fat middle-aged man walked over and explained with a smile, "My roast duck is refreshing and delicious, and it is not greasy. โ
The richness of middle-aged life, a smile and two dimples, although he is a businessman in the market, he has a kind of book aroma in his body, which is very pleasing.
"Then two roast ducks, and a few side dishes," Zhu Jianshen said, "How is your wine?" โ
"The guest officer laughed, the small shop is a tavern, how can the wine be bad?" The middle-aged man looked smug and proud, and this arrogant expression made people laugh.
"Oh?" Zhu Jianshen joked, "I'm very picky, if it's not delicious, what can I say?" โ
"If the guest officer thinks it's not good, I won't take a penny."
"I'm quite confident," Zhu Jianshen said happily, "Okay, let's go prepare." โ
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile and said to the guy: "The two guest officers came all the way to our Su.. State, you can't be lazy, add some extra cold dishes. โ
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Qing's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Since you know that we are passing by, why bother, we are not repeat customers!" โ
"It's okay, the guest officer ate well and went back to publicize it, and a friend came to Su.. To play in the state, I recommend a small shop. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Huh...... Say. Li Qing nodded amusedly.
At this time, someone entered the store again, and the middle-aged man confessed and went to receive him.
Not long after, small wine, roast duck, and cold dishes are served.
It can be seen that the middle-aged man is not cheating, the cold dishes on the plate are all sharp, and in the territory of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the amount is indeed very sufficient.
The two of them rushed for more than half a month, and the birds faded out of their mouths, and they suddenly feasted.
Not to mention, this little cold dish is really delicious, or it may be that the two of them are really hungry, and the one they eat is called a fragrant.
Zhu Jianshen puffed out his cheeks and said, "This roast duck is really good, it is cold and cold, fragrant but not greasy, and it has a hint of sweetness, not bad, man, two more." โ
As he spoke, he raised his glass and took another sip of wine, feeling that it was not enjoyable, and added, "Bring two more bowls." โ
turned around and muttered to Li Qing, "This wine is not bad, but it is not pleasant to drink it in a cup." โ
Li Qing shook his head funny, but he didn't stop him, the wine in Jiangnan is light and soft, and it doesn't hurt to drink more, it's just to be happy, there is no need to ruin his fun.
"Li Qing, where are we going next?"
"Don't worry, there is a lot of time, first find an inn to stay, rest for two days, and then it's not too late to play." Li Qing smiled and said, "Dongting Lake, Hanshan Temple...... We've got some fun. โ
"Well, Cheng, listen to you." Zhu Jianshen said a word, and then buried his head in hard work.
Next door, the middle-aged boss chatted with the customer again, and the two seemed to know each other, talking happily and laughing loudly.
I only heard the customer say: "Your son was selected for Xiucai a few years ago, and now the new emperor has ascended the throne and opened Enke, why don't you let him participate in the township test?" โ
"Huh? How can the township test be so easy, you have to be fully prepared, sharpen the knife and not chop wood. The middle-aged man spoke modestly, but his tone was full of pride, and it was obvious that his son was very competitive, and his old father was very pleased.
"Look at you proudly," the man couldn't see the middle-aged man's self-satisfaction, and quipped, "You, don't put too much pressure on your son, last time I heard someone say that he was lost on the street, reading is important, but you can't just read, right?" โ
"Oh, I can't help it, Xiaoyin's kid is studious, it's really not me forcing him." The middle-aged man said helplessly, and then said, "Brother, what you said is also right, I'll go back and talk about him." โ
"In my opinion, he just doesn't have too much contact with people," the customer said, "and I have a way of doing it." โ
"What?"
"Let him teach my son."
"Okay, wait here for me." The middle-aged boss didn't have a good breath and said, "This won't work, Xiao Yin wants to prepare for the township test, how can I have time to teach your son." โ
"Okay, you Tang Guangde, you don't give any face, right?"
"Come on, your family runs a silk village, how many gentlemen can't invite it, how can you use my Xiaoyin." Tang Guangde pursed his lips, "Little Sixth Son, add two taels of wine to the rich man, I invited me, master." โ
"Shall I send you this drink?" The rich man laughed and scolded, "You look down on people." โ
"Huh...... I'm not here to make amends. Tang Guangde laughed, "Slow use, I'm greeting guests." โ
said, came to Li Qing's table.
asked with a smile: "Guest officer, is the wine and food in the small shop delicious?" โ
"That's right," Zhu Jianshen nodded slightly, glanced at him, and asked, "Your son is a Xiucai?" โ
The wine shop is not big, and the two of them are talking in a loud voice, Zhu Jianshen heard it clearly, and couldn't help but be a little interested.
"Fluke, fluke." Tang Guangde smiled from ear to ear, his expression full of pride.
Li Qingdao: "What the rich man said is right, just reading books can't be done, blindly reading dead books, not knowing how to be flexible, it is the title of the gold list, and it will not be too smooth to enter the official career." โ
"Look, I'm not the only one saying that." The rich man on the side arched the fire.
Tang Guangde glanced at the rich man, turned around and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, don't look at the old brother who has some family assets, but the businessman really can't get on the stage, I am not confused, this life is like this, but my son can't do it, I don't want him to follow my old path......"
Between his words, he was full of hope for Jackie Chan, "This tavern is not big, but the business is good, but I, I would rather it close one day, what is good about being a businessman, taking the career is the road!" โ
On the side, the rich man Wang also echoed and said, "What Lao Tang said is right, businessmen can't get on the stage, it's true to have two money, but they have no identity and status, we don't want our children and grandchildren to be like us." โ
Li Qing sighed: "Being an official doesn't necessarily mean how imposing. โ
"How do you say that?" Zhu Jianshen slapped his face on the spot, "I don't agree with what you say, what is called an official is not necessarily prestigious, being an official is to be the master of the people and seek the well-being of the people, is it to play prestige?" โ
โโฆโฆ If I lose my words, is it okay to punish a glass of wine? Li Qing was helpless.
"Hmph, don't take it as an example."
It's really a shame for you...... Li Qing rolled his eyes, in front of outsiders, he had to give him some face.
Tang Guangde was stunned and said tentatively: "The guest officer is ...... Officialdom, right? โ
"Uh...... Barely count. Zhu Jianshen said, "My son became an official." โ
"Oh, the guest officer is graceful, if you want to come, Ling Lang's official position must not be low."
"It's so-so." Zhu Jianshen snorted and said, looking proud.
Seeing this, Tang Guangde was even more pleased, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother...... Ah no, can the little brother let the dog come over and talk to the two of them, and touch the nobility of the two masters. โ
As soon as Li Qing and Zhu Jianshen entered the door, he saw that the two of them were extraordinary, and the momentum of those who had been in the top position for a long time, although they did not deliberately show it, they could really feel it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so deliberately pleased.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen had eaten almost enough, leaned back in the chair, took a sip of wine, and said proudly:
"Then you just let him come over, I'm still quite accurate in seeing people, whether I can be an official, how big an official I can be, I can estimate the difference."
"Okay, good," Tang Guangde was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Uncle, wait a minute, I'll go and let the dog come over, the sixth son, and give the two masters more altar wine." โ
"Huh...... Wait a minute, I'll come when I go. Tang Guangde bowed and bowed again, which can really be described as ...... Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
Zhu Jianshen chuckled and said, "Idle is also idle, sir, you have always had a unique vision, help check the gates." โ
"Don't mind," Li Qing pouted, "How capable you are, whether people can be officials, how big officials they can be, you can see at a glance, how can I have such ability, or you should come." โ
"Two guest officers, the wine is here." Xiao Liuzi sent wine.
Zhu Jianshen took it and said with a smile: "Don't I just say two words to you, look at your stinginess, I'll punish myself for three cups, right?" โ
Li Qing was speechless: "Are you punishing yourself?" You just want to drink. โ
Zhu saw that his deep thoughts were exposed, and he was not ashamed, "Come, I'll give you a bowl." โ
"Virtue ......" Li Qing muttered, raised the wine bowl and touched him, and said: "Although the wine is soft, it is not too much to drink, and after drinking this jar of wine, you must not drink it again today." โ
"Listen to you, you have the final say." Zhu Jianshen drank it all, took another mouthful of food, and smacked his lips, "It's not bad, this small dish and wine are not bad, let's pack some when we leave later." โ
Li Qing said with a smile: "You can use it, there is an inn opposite, if you want to eat, you can just come and eat it, but in the future, we can only drink a small jar, and today we will make an exception for you." โ
Zhu Jianshen nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." โ
While talking, Tang Guangde led his son over, "Xiaoyin, hurry up and give someone a salute." โ
"Xiaosheng Tang Yin, it's polite."
The two stopped the topic and moved their eyes to the little queen......
