At noon, the backyard of Jishitang.

When Zhang Xuanqing and Liu Shenwei were talking, Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng were also attracted by the conversation between the two. Seeing the retort that Zhang Xuanqing put at the door, he couldn't help but be amazed.

I saw that the thing Zhang Xuanqing bought was stainless steel, the whole body was silvery, shining in the sun, and it made people dizzy for a while.

Sun Simiao and others don't know what stainless steel is, but they feel that although this thing looks strange: one large and one small two "iron buckets", connected by an "iron rod" in the middle, and a small glass-like mirror on the top, which is engraved with several strange symbols, and a red iron piece, but still subconsciously thinks that this is a treasure.

When asked Liu Shenwei, knowing that this was what he asked Zhang Xuanqing for, Sun Simiao couldn't help but reprimand.

Liu Shenwei was trained a lot by the master, and he didn't take it to heart at all, but only pulled Zhang Xuanqing and asked how to use this thing.

Wait until you know that as long as the wine is filled with wine and a fire is lit underneath, you can "distill". And that strange little glass with strange symbols engraved underneath is actually a "thermometer" and "barometer", anyway, he didn't understand it, so he simply ignored it and went directly to the street to buy wine.

In fact, not only Liu Shenwei doesn't understand, but Zhang Xuanqing only understands a rough idea. In his heart, he doesn't need to understand this thing too much at all, as long as he can use it.

Because Sun Simiao was also curious about this thing, when Liu Shenwei came back from buying wine, he simply closed the door of the hospital and closed for an afternoon.

And Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice were also, they didn't care about eating, and a few people worked with Liu Shenwei to drum around the still.

Dismantling, adding wine, assembling, starting a fire......

After a while, the courtyard was filled with the rich smell of wine.

I saw that the place called "wine drain" by Zhang Xuanqing slowly dripped out of the crystal liquid, and its color was light green, but it was because the wine Liu Shenwei bought was new wine.

In ancient times, winemaking was all grain and fruit, and when the newly brewed wine was not filtered, there would be a slight green wine residue on the surface of the wine, so it was called "green ants".

Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove.

Seeing drops of pale cyan and crystal wine beads slipping down into the porcelain that had been prepared long ago, Liu Shenwei looked extremely excited.

I can finally make money!

After circling around the distiller for a long time, his heart moved slightly, and he pointed to the distilled liquor nervously and expectantly, turned his head and asked, "Uncle Shi, can I taste it?"

Zhang Xuanqing stood behind Liu Shenwei, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "Yes, you can drink it if you want." ”

Liu Shenwei didn't think much about it when he heard this, he directly took the small cup, scooped a cup, put it on the end of his nose and smelled it, revealing an intoxicated look, and raised his head to pour all the wine down.

"How's it going?" Zhang Xuanqing asked with a snicker, a little expectant.

I saw that after Liu Shenwei drank the wine, a blush suddenly rose on his face, his eyes were blurred, and he was drunk: "Okay...... Good wine......"

Zhang Xuanqing clamoured again: "Drink more good wine, this is your first time making wine, drink more, drink more." ”

"Well...... Kindness...... Drink more......" Liu Shenwei was drunk and hazy, and subconsciously did so when he heard the words, and scooped a cup in the porcelain jar, but he didn't smell it, and poured it down.

Goo-dong -

As soon as a glass of wine was down, Liu Shenwei could no longer stand unsteadily, lying on the ground, and fell asleep.

Zhang Xuanqing stood aside, and finally couldn't help but gloat: "Silly boy, do you know what this first glass of wine is called? Wine head, wine head! This thing is at least sixty or seventy degrees, and it ...... It's easy to get on the head. ”

Sun Simiao: "......"

Yuan Tiangang: "......"

Li Chunfeng: "......"

Although they didn't know what sixty or seventy degrees meant, it was obvious that Liu Shenwei was cheated by Zhang Xuanqing again.

Hey, why do you say it here?

......

The next day, when Liu Shenwei saw Zhang Xuanqing again, his eyes were full of resentment.

Zhang Xuanqing said that he was benevolent enough, if it weren't for Liu Shenwei, he wouldn't necessarily be so unlucky in modern time and space, so he simply turned a blind eye to Liu Shenwei's resentful little eyes.

After yesterday afternoon, a lot of distilled liquor has been refined, about more than 50 catties.

Therefore, Liu Shenwei didn't complain for long, so he ran to the Drunken Immortal Building with him.

However, it was not until noon that Liu Shenwei came back from the Drunken Immortal Tower. And what he brought back was not only the money shopkeeper of Zuixian Building, but also one more ...... Zheng Fatzi.

"Dabo visited Daochang Zhang and Daochang Sun, and after a long day of separation, the demeanor of the two Taoist chiefs is still the same, which is really envious of others. As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Fatzi grabbed in front of the money shopkeeper and saluted Zhang Xuanqing and Sun Simiao for a while.

The shopkeeper Qian twitched, followed behind, and also saluted: "Qian has seen two Taoist ......."

Since Zhang Xuanqing became famous in Huayuan County, Jishitang, which already has a good reputation, has also risen with the tide, and no one in the county dares to disrespect Zhang Xuanqing and Sun Simiao.

Zhang Xuanqing still remembered Zheng Fatzi, first, the other party's name was too strange, the surname Zheng was named Dabo, and he was called Uncle Zheng and Uncle Zheng; second, the first meal he had in this world was invited by the other party, so he hurriedly returned the salute: "Please sit down, two of you." After speaking, he cast an inquiring glance at Liu Shenwei.

Didn't you say that you went to Zuixianlou to ask for a money shopkeeper, how did you bring Zheng Fatzi back?

Zheng Fatzi's seven tricks were exquisite, and before Liu Shenwei could speak, he had already seen the clue, and said first: "Daochang Zhang, the child's illness can be cured thanks to you." Zheng came today, firstly, to thank the Taoist, and secondly, he happened to be eating wine in the Drunken Immortal Building today, and heard that the Taoist had created a wine-making vessel. Coincidentally, Zheng has a brewing workshop under his name, and he came to see and understand, and wanted to talk to the Taoist about cooperation. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and offered it respectfully with both hands.

Zhang Xuanqing knew in his heart that what to thank himself, I am afraid that the second purpose is the most important.

Zheng Fatzi's son's illness has long been cured by Sun Simiao, and he has already thanked him once, and he will thank him again today, isn't that nonsense.

Looking at the paper in Zheng Fatzi's hand, his mind turned slightly, and he had already guessed what it was. Just as he was about to speak, at this time, the money shopkeeper was not to be left behind, and he also took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "Zhang Daochang, you must also know the meaning of the villain's coming, thanks to your affordability, and willing to cooperate with my Zuixianlou, and the reason why my Zuixianlou is now full of friends is also stained with your light." Therefore, Qian specially prepared a little small gift, and the Taoist chief should not refuse......"

While the two were talking, there were already two teams of people carrying things into Jishitang, and after putting the things down, they divided into two groups and stood behind Zheng Fatzi and Qian Shopkeeper.

I saw that those things were half-concealed and half-hidden, faintly revealing that there were silk and satin, poems and ancient books. In this way, the paper in the hands of Zheng Fatzi and the money shopkeeper is already obvious, it is exactly - gift list!

In ancient times, gift-giving was also very particular, unlike now, just take something and go, and then hand it directly to the master's hand, which is very impolite to put aside in ancient times.

For example, birthdays, modern people are more accustomed to birthdays, regardless of age, whether they are full of age or not, they like to invite a few friends to hold a birthday party. Unlike in ancient times, only the elderly would "live their lives" when they were full years old.

And the modern host's birthday, friends who come are inevitably gifts, generally give things directly to the host's house, and even some of the host's family even open it on the spot.

This behavior ...... How to say it, in ancient times, it would definitely attract shame.

Let's talk about the gift giver first, in ancient times, if you gave the gift directly to the master's family, then you would be disrespectful to the master's family, and the master's family would say in his heart: When I am called Hanako? I lack this thing from you? The result will definitely not be accepted, and maybe there will be an unpleasant scene.

Speaking of the gift-receiving, in ancient times, if you opened the gift given by someone else on the spot, some people would say in their hearts: how poor this person must be, how much he lacks this little thing, he can't even wait, and so on.

Therefore, in ancient times, gifts were packed in boxes or covered with things, and they would not be handed over directly to the host's house, but a gift list was prepared. Moreover, the owner of the gift list will not pick it up himself, let the next person pick it up, and let the younger generation pick it up if there is no person or the next person is not there, and he will never handle it.

It's a courtesy, but it's also a courtesy.

Therefore, looking at the two gift slips in the hands of Zheng Fatzi and the money shopkeeper, Zhang Xuanqing did not move, but just signaled Liu Shenwei to take it, and hugged his fists and thanked him: "Let the two of you break the cost......"

He didn't refuse, after all, this is just an ordinary exchange of courtesies, and it is not corruption and bribery, if he doesn't accept it, or refuse, he will inevitably be suspected of looking down on the other party.

Kindness...... This is not an ancient rite, this is what Zhang Xuanqing himself thinks.

After all, what are gifts equivalent to?

Money!

Someone gives money to spend, and he will refuse?

Are you kidding!

Asked Zheng Fatzi and Shopkeeper Sun to sit in the back hall, let Li Chunfeng take the gift-giving team to the backyard to place the gifts, and instructed Liu Shenwei to prepare tea, and Zhang Xuanqing discussed cooperation with the two.

"Daochang Zhang, you can choose our Zuixian Building, it can be seen that the trust in us ......" As soon as he sat down, the shopkeeper couldn't wait to open his mouth and fight for sovereignty.

On the contrary, Zheng Fatzi drank tea unhurriedly, and even looked at the tea thoughtfully.

After the money shopkeeper finished speaking, he put down the teacup and hugged Zhang Xuanqing: "Zhang Daochang, you also know that my intention is the same as that of the money shopkeeper." However, after drinking your tea, I have another idea, and I don't know if the chief can agree. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xuanqing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and a little abrupt.

Because he is not accustomed to drinking tea cakes with salt and ingredients in this world, the tea of Jishitang has been replaced by him with fried tea in later generations, and it is a relatively good kind.

He spent money relatively quickly before, and there was also this part of the reason.

Unexpectedly, although Zheng Fatzi was fat, his heart was shrewdly tight, and he only drank it once, and he felt the difference, and directly hit the idea on the tea.

Sure enough, Zheng Fatzi first held the teacup and praised it for a while, and then skipped the wine and directly discussed the cooperation method of tea with Zhang Xuanqing.
