After shouting hello to Liu Chang at the same time, Huang Qiong said to Liu Chang: "Mr. Jiuwen likes the food in the cup. Today there is such delicious food. It would be a pity if we don't pour a few cups of these dishes. Look. Let’s see if there’s any good wine in this shop. If there is, I’ll have a few drinks with my husband. It’s rare to relax today, so don’t worry about me. You can drink as much as you like, sir.”
After that, Huang Qiong waved his hand to stop Liu Chang's thoughts of persuasion, and directly ordered Gao Huaiyuan, who was following him, to go to the counter to see if there was any good wine. If there was any, bring a jar and then pointed outside. No. I don't know when the snowflakes have begun to fall: "Snow but no wine makes people vulgar. Today there is not only snow, but also such delicious food. Wouldn't it be a pity not to have a big white snow?"
Following Huang Qiong's finger, Liu Chang looked at the fluttering snowflakes outside, but couldn't help but said happily: "Master, this snow is good. Looking at it now, this snow will definitely not be small. With this snow, There is no need to worry about a spring drought next year, let alone a locust plague next year. If it snows all over Shaanxi, the harvest will definitely be the same next year. The drought in Shaanxi will be completely lifted."
"With this snow, I don't have to plan hard to raise food for Shaanxi Road next year. The victims of Shaanxi Road don't have to go out to escape next year. This is a great event, and it is really worth mentioning. As for why there is snow. If you don't drink to make people vulgar, I'm just a vulgar person, but not so elegant." At this point, Liu Chang looked at the snow outside and couldn't help laughing.
Huang Qiong looked at Liu Chang, who was sitting opposite him. The joy brought by the snowfall was not at all hypocritical. If he hadn't been sitting in front of him, he might have run out for fear of the so-called disrespect, so he couldn't help but nodded slightly. It seems that although this person has gone through many hardships, he still retains a trace of innocence. And at least he has a good understanding of government affairs at the county level.
Just when Huang Qiong was about to say something, Gao Huaiyuan brought a small jar of wine over and said, "Master, there is no good Sichuan wine here. The best wine, the Liulin wine from Fengxiang Mansion, is not the best wine." I know you are not used to it. However, I heard from the boss that this wine is the best local wine on Shaanxi Road, and he also said that it is one of the famous wines in the world. But I don’t drink, so I don’t know whether it’s good or bad.”
Hearing Gao Huaiyuan's answer, Huang Qiong waved his hand and said with a smile: "You silly boy, you have been living a life of bells and whistles since you were a child. I really don't know what your days in the mansion are like. Yes. This Liulin wine is a good wine. Pei Xingjian, a famous scholar in the former Tang Dynasty, even wrote a poem specifically for this wine. Compared with the fine wines from Sichuan, this wine has a softer taste. "
Taking the wine with his own hands, he opened it and smelled it. Huang Qiong smiled at Gao Huaiyuan and said, "This wine is at least five years old. It is really a good wine. Come sit down and try it too. Since you have chosen to be a military attaché, It’s time to let go of the scholarly air in your heart. If you’re a military general and don’t know how to drink, your subordinates, let alone your colleagues, will look down on you. As a soldier, it’s not worth it to compete with alcohol.”
"Everyone in the ancient times knew that Jun Moxiao would lie drunk on the battlefield. How many times have you fought in ancient times? Although I don't like drunkards, I have never objected to men drinking. You can make friends at the wine table. You want to be with you Uncle Seventh should also learn from it. The friends he makes at the drinking table are from lower backgrounds, but they are all famous friends of Uncle Seventh. As long as you know how to exercise moderation, there is no harm in drinking a little."
After Huang Qiong said this, Gao Huaiyuan shook his head like a rattle and said, "Sir, I really don't know how to drink. Because my father's health is damaged by drinking, my mother has strictly prohibited me from drinking since I was a child, even on weekdays. In the house, alcohol is never allowed in front of me. I have never drank alcohol until now. Besides, we both drink, who will protect you if you get drunk? "
Gao Huaiyuan refused to live or die, and what he called himself, Huang Qiong said with a headache: "This is outside, not at home. How many times have I told you, when there are no outsiders, you are still Call me uncle. Mr. Liu is not a human being, why are you so cautious? Also, this is Xijing of the Qi Dynasty, who would be so bold to plot evil here? "
After that, he picked up the just-warmed wine and poured a bowl of wine for each of Gao Huaiyuan and another guard. Liu Chang even got a full bowl of wine. When serving wine, Huang Qiong thought the wine cups were too small and lackluster, so he specially ordered the waiter to serve several wine cups, that is, wine bowls, to each person. As the wine poured down, Liu Chang, who already liked this kind of Liu Ling thing, kept it in and didn't show it.
But the wine bug in Liu Chang's belly had already been aroused by the aroma of wine that hit his nostrils. Although this kind of wine is produced on Shaanxi Road, it is produced in Fengxiang, not far from Chang'an. But this kind of wine has been a tribute wine since the pre-Tang Dynasty. In addition, the output is not high, so the price is quite expensive on Shaanxi Road. His salary is meager and the family burden is heavy. Where can he afford such good wine on weekdays?
What's more, there is actually five-year-old wine in this store today, which is something you can only dream of in ordinary times. As for whether the wine was aged for five years, as early as when Huang Qiong opened the lid of the wine jar, the aroma of wine that hit his nostrils told him that the wine was definitely aged for five years. You know, a jar of this five-year-old Liulin wine, which weighs three kilograms, costs a thousand gold in Chang'an City.
Although the prince himself poured wine for him, which made him a little flattered. But he couldn't stand the aroma of wine that hit his nostrils. Liu Changdang even raised the wine bowl and took a big sip before putting it down and saying: "The Liulin wine that has been aged for five years really deserves its reputation."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw the prince looking at him with a smile. He remembered the gaffe he had just made. He obviously blushed and said, "I'm a little gaffe, please forgive me. I don't have any hobbies on weekdays. One of them is Go." , one is Liu Ling’s thing. It’s just that on weekdays, with just a little money and food, I can’t afford slightly better wine.”
"I can only buy the cheapest wine to satisfy my craving. Even so, I can only drink two or three taels. I absolutely can't afford this kind of Liulin wine. Not to mention that it has been aged for five years, and it is even more so on weekdays. I have never seen it before. I saw this rare and good wine today, so I am a little bit rude. Please forgive me. I also want to try it. This Liulin wine is very rare to see in Jingzhao."
In response to Liu Chang's explanation, Huang Qiong smiled and waved his hand and said: "I just said, sir, you just want to drink to your heart's content today. It doesn't matter if you forgive me or not. Even though the wine is good, you still need to meet someone who knows the goods, right? Come on, sir, Ruian, and this brother, all raise their glasses, first for the snow today, and for the sake of no drought in Shaanxi next year, let’s come together to make a big splash.”
After that, he raised the wine bowl in front of him and drank it in one gulp. After putting down the wine bowl, Huang Qiong couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed a rare good wine. Although it is not as good as the Sichuan fine wine, it is not as spicy and vigorous after entering the mouth, but it is also smooth in the entrance, and it is even better in terms of long aftertaste. . Even for a person like me who doesn’t like drinking, it’s rare that I like it. Come on, let’s have a bowl.”
However, compared to Huang Qiong and Liu Chang who were full of praise for this kind of wine, Gao Huaiyuan, who was drinking for the first time, was choked by the not-so-spicy drink and had to cough for a long time before he calmed down. Regarding Gao Huaiyuan's performance, Huang Qiong shook his head, poured him a full bowl of wine and said, "How can you do this? If you don't know how to drink, how will you deal with your colleagues in the future?"
Gao Huaiyuan drank the previous bowl reluctantly. Even though he is young, he still understands that you should not refuse a gift. So even though I didn’t know how to drink, I still drank it. It can be seen that Huang Qiong poured a full bowl of wine again, and his chest was burning at the moment, but his face turned pale with fear. He really couldn't drink anymore, and he really didn't dare to drink anymore.
Fortunately, Huang Qiong didn't make things difficult for him this time, and just let him drink slowly, at least to get used to it a little bit. Gao Huaiyuan did not dare to drink freely. Although the other guard had a much greater alcohol capacity than him, he did not dare to drink freely because of his duties. Gao Huaiyuan was only temporarily assigned as a bodyguard by the prince's side. He was a serious guard or personal bodyguard of the prince.
If the higher-ups found out that the Crown Prince paid a private visit incognito without stopping him, it would be hard to explain. If the superiors found out that he drank alcohol during working hours, he would not want the position of a seventh-grade sword-carrying guard. He didn't even know whether the whole family would be assigned to Long You to chew sand. If the prince scratches his skin, he should not even think about it.
Therefore, while Huang Qiong's attention was on Gao Huaiyuan and Liu Chang, he just took a slight sip. The same goes for the wine at the back. Even he was tempted to run away by the aroma of the five-year-old Liulin wine. But after all, it was his duty, and he couldn't let go of his drinking. I could only sigh helplessly as I looked at the drink in front of me.
In fact, how could Huang Qiong hide this guard's little move? It's just that he didn't mean it sincerely. He didn't make it clear that he wanted to make these two people drink. Although he didn't need Gao Huaiyuan to really protect him. But after all, that is their responsibility, and it is their job. I can't let the people below develop the bad habit of drinking during working hours.
Huang Qiong himself has no interest in these low-alcohol wines. This kind of Liulin wine is thirty degrees strong. However, compared to the various fruit wines, rice wine and other wines with lower alcohol content that are more common now, the alcohol content is slightly higher. There is still no way to compare it with Sichuan liquor. In addition, Huang Qiong doesn't really like drinking because he has no interest in drinking.
He did this just to fish. After drinking for a while, Huang Qiong felt no interest. Besides letting Liu Chang drink heavily, he drank less and less. Finally, he put down the wine bowl and said to the shopkeeper, whose nose was twitching because of the aroma of the wine, "Shopkeeper, these two guys have such a bad drinking capacity that Mr. Liu and I can't even drink. "
"Why don't you, the shopkeeper, come and have a drink with us? The shopkeeper is also an elegant person. Anyway, there are no other customers here now. Come and have a drink with us. Don't worry, I guarantee that there will be no shortage of money when the money comes out later. You are a big man. The meat in your shop is good, and the wine is also good. If there are not a few people who know how to drink together, the wine will be really boring."
Hearing Huang Qiong's invitation, the shopkeeper hesitated for a long time, and finally came over to sit down. In addition to being seduced by the Liulin wine, he also didn't want to offend Huang Qiong, a noble man. Although Huang Qiong has never revealed his identity, he can also see that Huang Qiong is not that kind of businessman, and he does not have the aura of a businessman. But he is definitely a noble person, and he is still the kind of extremely noble person.
