Inside the Zuixian Tower.
The waiter served Wei Zheng two bottles of wine and a piece of chicken and then left.
Wei Zheng looked at the food and drinks in front of him that cost him a month's salary, and couldn't help but swallowed with guilt. Unlike other officials, who had income from other shops in addition to the salary given by the court, he spent so much money on a meal. It was also his first time.
If you work hard, as long as you don't get drunk, you can earn ten dollars. Wei Zheng picked up the jug and poured himself a glass of wine. He saw that the drunken god was bright red in color and extremely attractive. There was even a hint of cold air rising from the wine glass.
"This Zuixianlou is so luxurious, it even adds ice cubes."
Wei Zheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.
You must know that in order to keep the ice from melting for a long time, ancient ice cellars had to be dug five to ten meters deep, and the scale was generally quite large, costing tens of millions, and generally only the royal family and wealthy families could afford it.
After sighing for a while, Wei Zheng picked up the wine glass and took a slight sniff. Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine and wild fruits hit his face, making him involuntarily close his eyes and indulge in the intoxicating aroma of wine.
"It's a good wine. It has the aroma of Jiannan Shaochun in it, but the aroma is richer than that of Jiannan Shaochun. It is also paired with the fragrance of mountain fruits. The two are not inconsistent at all. The bartender has a good sense of balance. Just right, worthy of being called a bartending master.”
Experts will know if it is there as soon as it is spoken. It has to be said that Wei Zheng's research on wine-making has reached a master level. He can judge the ingredients of this wine with just a slight sniff.
"Hiss~, it's so sweet. It's such a sweet wine in the world. It's really a worthwhile life to be able to drink such a magical wine in my lifetime."
As an old alcoholic, what could be more attractive to him than fine wine? At this time, Wei Zheng had completely forgotten the purpose of his coming here today, and was immersed in the intoxication of the gods.
As he gnawed on the chicken, Wei Zheng drank one cup after another. After a while, the pot of Immortal Drunk was bottomed out. It must be said that Wei Zheng's alcohol capacity is really good. After drinking more than a kilogram of Immortal Drunk, he didn't even drink it. Drink and lie down. You must know that the alcohol content of ancient wine is generally low. Generally, those who are used to drinking low-alcohol wine will fall down within four or five glasses of a strong drink like Shenxianzui. How can they persist like Wei Zheng? It is really rare for people nowadays.
Even though Wei Zheng hasn't fallen down yet, his consciousness is a little blurry at this moment and his face is a little red. Looking at him like this, he is probably not far away from being drunk.
"Master, let's stop drinking. You've already drunk too much. It's time for Madam to blame the villain again."
The driver who came with Wei Zheng saw that Wei Zheng had drunk a little too much, so he quickly gained courage and stepped forward to persuade him.
Wei Zheng squinted his eyes, waved his hands swayingly and said, "I'm not... I'm not drunk. Please get out of here."
After that, he lifted up another pot of wine with his slightly trembling right hand and continued to pour wine for himself. It was inevitable that a lot of wine would be spilled in the middle.
The coachman's face was red with anxiety. He wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to do so anymore, so he could only come over and help Wei Zheng pour the wine.
The surrounding diners, seeing Wei Zheng like this, secretly shook their heads, thinking that he was another challenger who overestimated his capabilities.
Before the second pot of wine was halfway through, Wei Zheng finally couldn't drink it anymore. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Good wine!" Then he fell to the ground with a bang.
The servant who drove the carriage quickly stepped forward and helped him up: "Master, master, are you okay? I will take you home."
With that said, he was about to take Wei Zheng to the carriage outside.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng suddenly straightened up, opened his eyes, and shouted: "Bring me some wine, I can still drink it!"
The servant was almost crying and said quickly: "Master, the wine is gone. Let's go home quickly. Madam is waiting impatiently."
Wei Zheng ignored him, pushed the servant away with one arm, and shouted: "Get out of the way, Laifu, how dare you disobey me today, huh~, eh? Who is this?"
At this time, he suddenly staggered two steps and walked to a diner. He stretched his head forward and his eyes were almost on the diner's face. The diner was startled by him and said quickly: "What can this old man say?" ?”
Wei Zheng laughed "hehe" twice, pointed at the diner and said: "Brother Fang, are you brother Fang? I remember...I remember that I, Old Wei, still owe you a lot of money, burp~, Laifu, go get some money quickly Come on, give it back to Brother Fang!"
The diner quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, brother, you have the wrong person. My surname is Wang, not Fang, and you don't owe me money."
"Who said that? How could I admit the wrong person? Hiccup, Laifu, did you hear that? Get the money quickly!"
Wei Zheng patted the diner on the shoulder and chuckled inarticulately.
Laifu said anxiously: "Master, you really recognized the wrong person. This is not the prime minister."
I have already spent eleven dollars to come to Zuixian Tower today. If Laifu takes out the money again, he will probably be skinned by his wife when he goes back.
Wei Zheng became angry instantly, grabbed Lai Fu, snatched the money bag from his waist, took out a handful of money, handed it to the diner, and said:
"Brother Fang, don't blame me for being ignorant. Hiccup~, take it quickly."
"Brother, I really can't take this money. You got the wrong person."
Wei Zheng shouted loudly: "Take it if you are told to..., hiccup~, if you don't take it, you won't give me Wei Xuancheng face, hiccup~, am I, Wei Xuancheng, a villain who doesn't pay back the money I owe?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Wei Xuancheng? This man is actually Wei Zheng, Zuocheng, the minister of the dynasty?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect Wei Zuocheng to be drunk. Isn't he known as the biggest drinker in the Tang Dynasty?"
"This Wei Zuocheng likes to give money to people when he's drunk? It's really rare."
"Who says it's not the case? It's the first time I've seen someone take the initiative to give money."
… …
It would be fine if Wei Zheng didn't say this, but once he said it, the diners would be even more afraid to accept his money. The people did not fight with the officials. If Wei Zheng could pay for Wei Zheng to leave at this time, the diners would definitely take out two of them without hesitation. Big golden pancake.
Wei Zheng struggled with the diner for a long time, and finally became impatient. He directly stuffed the golden pancake into the diner's arms and muttered: "Brother Fang is really unhappy."
Then he proudly walked up to another diner and asked, "Brother Yu, it's you. Does this little brother still owe you five guan of money? Laifu, bring me the money!"
Blessing:… …
Where does Laifu still have five guan of money? All the money is gone. He almost wants to cry at this moment. He really wants to pass out happily. He feels that if he continues like this, Wei Zheng will definitely drive him crazy.
… …
Finally, Shopkeeper Liu couldn't stand it anymore and called two boys to help Laifu force Wei Zheng into the carriage.
The farce ended up being the butt of laughter all over the place. I am afraid that when Wei Zheng wakes up from his drunkenness tomorrow, he will find that he is already famous throughout Chang'an.
