The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 64: The so-called thousand cups do not get drunk

Views:

Bao Zheng left the Kaifeng Mansion. Even if he left a message, the people in the mansion could not help but relax a little. Even Yun Yanhui didn't go to work every day.

This is also because his family has now moved back, and it is close, only a few steps away, even if there is an emergency notice, it is too late.

However, Yun Yanhui was only temporarily working in Tianqingguan. He didn't have any new plans recently, and Bao Zheng was not there, so no one told him to work. It was just a matter of asking questions from the cafeteria.

Because of the move, Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu came to play with him from time to time. This was the case with Zhao Yunchu, who came to Kaifeng Mansion to find Yunyan back.

Zhao Yunchu stood outside and asked people to see if Yun Yanhui was there, but he didn't go in, because he was warned by Gongsun Ce after he had been there a few times.

He is a clan, and should not be associated with foreign officials. Although he came to look for Yun Yan to return, outsiders saw that he had entered the Kaifeng Mansion, which would easily be referred to by the imperial censor.

So, now that Zhao Yunchu came to look for someone, he called them out from the outside.

Yun Yanhui is sitting in a shady place watching the prisoners water the grapes. This is an excellent grape variety he specially selected. He has transplanted a lot of them. It can be used for everyone to enjoy the cool and relax under the grape trellis. eat.

Yun Yanhui held a miscellaneous book while reading, and looked up at the prisoners from time to time, and then sneered a few words, determined not to let them feel better.

At this time, when I heard that Zhao Yunchu was looking for it outside, Yun Yan looked back at the sky and it was almost noon, so she put down the book, informed her colleagues, and went out.

When Zhao Yunchu saw Yun Yanhui, he came up to him and said with a smile, "Brother Yan, I heard that there is a foot shop opened in Zhounan recently. The food and wine are very good. I want you to eat together."

"Then wait for me to tell my mother." Yun Yanhui was fine with other things, but was particularly interested in food. It was strange that it was not so serious in modern times. Years are greedy.

Yun Yan ran back and said hello to Zheng Ping. She was away from home for lunch at noon, so she went to the foot shop he mentioned with Zhao Yunchu.

For a long time before Yun Yan returned, he thought that the difference between the foot shop and the main shop is that the main shop is larger in scale and has a star rating, while the foot shop is a roadside fly restaurant. Seventy-two genuine stores in Tokyo may be seventy-two luxury hotels.

It was only later that he discovered that this was not the case at all. The size of the foot shop is not necessarily smaller than that of the main shop. The difference between the two is that only the main shop has the right to brew, and the licensed liquor households can buy and sell koji wine from the state, while the foot shop can only buy wine from the main shop to sell.

In ancient times, the production and sales of wine were monopolized by the state, which was called "juicy wine". 覷, which means a single-plank bridge, selling wine is like crossing a single-plank bridge, there is only one way.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, due to different regions, the system of juicing was different in different places. There was also juicing, that is, juicing, and Tokyo belonged to the juicing district.

And this kind of monopoly, the full name of the prohibition law, that prohibits private operation, can only be carried out by the government.

In addition to wine, also salt, tea and so on.

Due to people's love for wine at that time, the income brought by the wine to the country is second only to the land tax in the summer and autumn, and the income of the salt is also ranked second. Not to mention the income of the tea, which is several times less.

The newly opened foot shop that Zhao Yunchu brought Yunyan back to is a relatively large-scale, three-story store with relatively strong capital. The wine flag at the entrance reads "Jinbo", which is another name for wine.

All wine shops like to advertise with similar words or even ancient poems on the wine flag, indicating that there is wine here.

Dr. Tea and Wine greeted the two of them to be seated. Zhao Yunchu ordered a few dishes, and then said, "He is famous for snacks here. We all ordered snacks, do you want more bars?"

Yun Yanhui basically doesn't drink, and Zhao Yunchu knows that. In the same way, Yun Yanhui also knew that Zhao Yunchu only drank at the banquet during the festival.

However, since this is an appetizer, I can't justify it without wine, so I ordered a few pots of yellow wine and lamb wine and asked people to warm it up.

Yellow wine is a very common and very old wine. Women and children know it. This lamb wine is a little different. It belongs to the Song Dynasty. As the name suggests, it is brewed from mutton.

It is said that the fat mutton is cut into pieces and boiled, the soup is stirred with rice and koji, and the wood fragrance is added to brew for ten days.

This brewing method made Yun Yan drunk as soon as he heard it, and he had no appetite to taste it, so he never drank lamb wine.

When the wine was warm and served on the table, Zhao Yunchu poured some yellow wine for Yun Yanhui, and then drank while eating. The gorse, soft sheep, etc. made by this foot shop are extremely authentic, and some meat patties are added to fill the stomach.

Oriole is a kind of scallop. It is marinated with seasonings such as wine tank, pepper, onion ginger juice, orange peel and so on. After marinating, rinse the dregs with wine and let it dry. When dry, it can be cooked, and dry steaming is the best.

The oregano in this foot shop is very tasty, fragrant and delicious, and it is very good for drinking.

As for soft sheep, it is simmered mutton. Song people really love mutton.

Although he basically does not drink alcohol, the alcohol level at this time is really not high, but at 10 or 20 degrees, Yun Yanhui, who has passed the test of various modern high levels of alcohol, drinking yellow wine is like drinking beverages.

He just doesn't like to drink on weekdays. After all, when he was a child, he needed to socialize at the wine table.

Yun Yan's return was a big bowl, and Zhao Yunchu saw it and persuaded him: "Brother Yan, you don't usually drink alcohol, you can't drink like this, you will get drunk."

Yun Yan replied: "I think it's okay, no."

Zhao Yunchu blushed, "In case you get drunk..."

Yunyan replied: "??"

Yun Yan rolled her eyes, not wanting to ask Zhao Yunchu why he was blushing inexplicably.

As the cups of rice wine went down, Yun Yan's face remained the same - at most, her cheeks were a little red because of the hot eating of the soft sheep, otherwise her expression was calm and her eyes were clear.

Zhao Yunchu's eyes were a little confused, because Yun Yanhui kept drinking, so he couldn't help drinking with the cups. After a few rounds, it was more than his usual amount of alcohol. At this time, he started to hold Yun Yanhui's waist. Let go.

Yun Yan said back to her heart, and told me to be careful, now let's see who gets drunk first. But why is the alcohol intake so light? Couldn't be pretending, Yun Yanhui beat his back with his elbow in disbelief, and warned, "Don't pretend to be crazy for me—"

Zhao Yunchu groaned and slid to the ground, resting his head on Yun Yanhui's thigh, "Aniang..."

Yun Yan turned back and called Dr. Jiu with a face, "Bring me a basin of water and water him."

Dr. Wine was startled, "Guest, your companion is just drunk, and the account has already passed, why do you want to pour him?"

"Drunk, so drunk, he only drank two pots." Yun Yanhui noticed that Zhao Yunchu was still rubbing his face against his stomach, and was even more impatient.

Dr. Jiu was immediately unhappy, "Guest, the wine in our store comes from Fanlou, which is notoriously intoxicating. What does it mean to drink two pots of wine!"

Yunyan replied: "..."

Well, the wine sellers are not happy anymore...

But when he said that, is Zhao Yunchu really drinking enough

"Okay, then, then you help me get him up, and I'll go." Yun Yan looked back to see that there was more than half of the yellow wine left, and then raised her head and poured it all down, her eyes were clear and her face did not change, "Look at it. What am I doing?"

Dr. Wine was frightened by the amount of alcohol he was drinking, and he was speechless, "This, this... well... "

Oops, after eating so many pots of wine, he is still sane and his complexion does not change. Could it be that the shop has encountered the legendary wine fairy

Dr. Jiu helped Yun Yanhui to hold Zhao Yunchu up in a trance, but no one could break Zhao Yunchu's hand from Yun Yanhui's waist. In the end, Yun Yanhui could only look at everyone, carrying a waist The pendant goes out.

"Woooooo..." Zhao Yunchu started to cry halfway through.

Yunyan replied: "??"

A tall and handsome young man was crying while hugging the other's waist. At first glance, it seemed that there was a story. Passersby looked sideways and slowed down. Seeing that if Zhao Yunchu cried more fiercely, he would start watching.

Yun Yanhui only felt very embarrassed and didn't want to kill him, so she forced herself to ask patiently, "Xiaochu, what's the matter with you?"

Zhao Yunchu cried and said: "It's uncomfortable..."

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yun Yan glanced around and signaled to everyone: You see, she was just drunk and uncomfortable.

"It's alright, you get up first, let's go home first, okay?" Yun Yan coaxed him back in a good voice.

Zhao Yunchu climbed up Yun Yanhui's waist and hung it on his shoulders.

"... Hmm." Yun Yan snorted back, Zhao Yunchu was more than half a head taller than him, and his shoulders were wider. He seemed to be a size larger than him, and his legs were not strong, and he was half dragging and half walking. In this way, Yun Yanhui felt like he was carrying a bear.

be strong.

Yun Yanhui gritted her teeth and grabbed Zhao Yunchu's outstretched arm, half carrying him back home. Originally, he wanted to send people to the palace, but now it seems that he may have exhausted himself before they were sent, so he simply took it back to his own home.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Yun Yanhui leaned on the courtyard wall and sat down, while Zhao Yunchu was also put on the ground, "Shuangyi, is Shuangyi at home!"

Shuang Yi heard the sound and saw Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu paralyzed on the ground. ."

"I'm not drunk, I'm carrying him so hot!" Yun Yanhui was very helpless.

Shuang Yi took a closer look, and sure enough, although the faces of Yan Ge'er and Zhao Yunchu were both red, Yan Ge'er's eyes were very clear.

"Why do you drink like this..." Shuang Yi muttered, reaching out and grabbing Zhao Yunchu, seeing Brother Yan trying to get up against the wall, she said, "Don't get up, I'll let him go again."

Shuang Yi carried Zhao Yunchu in, put it on Yun Yanhui's bed, and asked Aniang to cook sober soup, and then went out to pick up Yun Yanhui as well.

Yun Yan looked back to see that Zhao Yunchu was being carried, but she was dissatisfied when she was carried like luggage, "Can't you carry it?"

It is definitely inappropriate for the princess to hug, the picture is unreadable, but it is still within his acceptable range.

"If you carry it, your stomach will be uncomfortable with your shoulders on your shoulders." Shuang Yi was very considerate of him, so he carried the person into the room, his subordinates were paying attention, but he was still steadfast.

Zheng Ping met someone, came up to smell it, and confirmed that although Yun Yanhui wasn't drunk, she drank a lot, "Why do you eat so much?"

"It's fun, and the wine is not too strong." Yun Yan replied with a smile, "It's similar to Tianshui'er."

Zheng Ping said angrily, "What sweet water, do you think your mother has never eaten wine?"

"Aniang, don't be angry," Yun Yan recalled the yellow wine with a very low degree, and tapped Zheng Ping again, "I'll go back and secretly get some wine for Aniang to eat, so that it can be beautiful."

Although the country is drinking wine, he secretly brews a little, and no one knows, anyway, wine does not need koji.

"You, what to eat and drink, go look at the drunk inside first," Zheng Ping poked his forehead, "No one is watching, don't make him stumble."
