Guo Jia was originally an alcoholic, how could he still hold back the wine now?
When the maid bought a bottle of wine, she quickly took it and drank it down. She felt that it was a little spicy in the mouth, but the aftertaste was mellow and sweet, and she couldn't help but praise it.
This Erguotou is naturally Lu Bu's original creation, but it is not simply distilled wine.
For people of this era who are accustomed to drinking low-alcohol wine, few people can accept the spiciness of 40 or 50-degree white wine.
So Lu Bu had people distill the shú wine, use the head part for disinfection, and mix the remaining rice wine with rice wine to make a wine of about 20 degrees.
I didn’t expect that such a blended wine would be so popular!
Guo Jialian ate two cups, and after eating dishes such as fried mutton with green onions and scrambled eggs with cucumbers, he praised them one after another.
Seeing that it suited Guo Jia's appetite, the civil servant took advantage of Guo Jia's feast and said:
"These two Hu maids from the state were given to me by Marquis Wen. Although they are a little rough, they can still serve tea, pour water, make the bed and warm the quilt.
The Marquis said that there are only these barbarian women outside the city who don't know etiquette, so please be patient with them, sir.
After the husband enters the city, the Marquis will choose a stunning woman to send him off! "
These words have reached Guo Jia's heart again!
Since ancient times, drinking and sex have always been inseparable, and both are his favorites!
Lu Bu is so good at getting his own way!
With the help of wine, I took a look at the two bald Zhou Hu women. Although they were shorter and their skin was darker, their facial features were quite acceptable.
That kind of exotic customs also made Guo Jia a little tempted: he had never tasted what it was like to be a woman from Huzhou!
Taking a closer look, it seems that the two women's bald heads are also a subtle provocation!
The clerk made the explanation clear and said, "I won't bother you too much, sir. Please use it slowly, sir. If you need anything, just ask, and I will do my best to satisfy you!"
Guo Jia hurriedly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, it's boring for me to drink alone. Why don't you have a few drinks with me?"
The clerk laughed and said, "What kind of status do you have, how dare you have a drink with me?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "What are you talking about? I am also a white person, we are the same. In addition, I also have something to ask you."
The civil servant then sat aside to accompany him.
Guo Jia then asked: "I heard that the Hu State in Xuzhou is a small island isolated overseas. Why are there so many Hu people in Xuzhou?"
The clerk laughed and said, "Sir, how many have you seen? But you don't know that there are thousands of Hu slaves in the mines, ironworks and city construction sites over there in the new city!"
These were all captured by Marquis Wen who sent people by boat to Hu State in Zhouzhou! "
"Oh?" Guo Jia was even more surprised: "But I don't know how the Hu people in this state offended Marquis Wen?"
The civil servant laughed and said: "I didn't offend the Marquis, but these foreigners offended us Han people!
You must be a well-educated man who has read poetry and books. Haven't you heard of those allusions? "
Then he told the popular stories among the storytellers in Xuzhou, such as how the three Han people betrayed Jizi and how the Japanese betrayed Xu Fu.
Many of the plots were described as vividly as if he had seen them with his own eyes.
He even gritted his teeth when he talked about the hatefulness of the foreign barbarians. Obviously, Lu Bu's brainwashing propaganda was very effective.
"I heard that some Sanhan people will be captured in the next few days. Letting these barbarians come to China to work as slaves is to give them a chance to redeem themselves. Sir, you don't have to sympathize with such an inferior race!"
"That's it!" Guo Jia nodded.
Then he asked: "Just now you said that these iron pot stir-fries and Erguotou wine were also created by Wen Hou?"
As soon as Lu Bu was mentioned, the civil servant started chatting: "That's right! Otherwise, how could we have thought of such a clever method?
But it’s not just the wine and food, there are many innovative things done by the Marquis! "
As he spoke, he began to talk nonstop.
Guo Jia was even more surprised by many measures such as the discovery of coal mines, large-scale steel smelting, improvement of fire pits, and establishment of medical clinics.
"According to what you say, Marquis Wen is omniscient and omnipotent!"
"That's right!" The civil servant looked proud: "Master Hou is a closed disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and he is here to save the working people of the world!"
"Really..." Guo Jia was a little disdainful of this superstitious statement.
In his opinion, this kind of rhetoric is similar to Zhang Jiao's routine, which is nothing more than what he said to fool some mountain villagers.
But he was still curious, what kind of person was Lu Bu?
After seven days at the quarantine point, Guo Jia finally passed the quarantine period and was allowed to enter the city.
After entering the government office, someone went in to report. After a while, Lu Bu ran out with bare feet and long legs: "Where is Mr. Guo?"
It can be said that the allusion of father-in-law Cai Yong walking backwards to welcome each other has almost been used to death by Lu Bu!
But it’s very effective!
After all, Lu Bu is also a county prince and the shepherd of a state. How high is his status?
He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and ran out to greet him. Let alone Guo Jia, who is not famous yet, who wouldn't feel numb to him?
Guo Jia was so flattered that he hurriedly took two steps, bowed to the ground and said, "Guo Jia, the villain, has met Marquis Wen!"
Lu Bu returned the gift, took Guo Jia's hand and said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite to show your filial piety! I thought you were coming, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Please take a seat inside!"
After saying this, he cordially took Guo Jia's hand and came to the inner hall. He offered to sit down and said, "Jin Lian, bring the tea quickly!"
Du agreed and came to pour tea for Guo Jia.
Guo Jia prided himself on being a romantic and knew a lot of people, but he had never seen such a charming young woman, and for a moment he was so fascinated by her.
It wasn't until Du Shi rolled his eyes at him with some dissatisfaction that he came back to his senses. He saw Lu Bu looking at him with a smile and hurriedly lowered his head and coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
"This is my personal secretary. I haven't met Mr. Guo yet!" Lu Bu said.
The meaning is very clear: Don’t worry about my people!
Guo Jia couldn't help but blushed and said hurriedly: "I really don't know, this villain is so offensive..."
Lu Bu smiled openly and said: "Haha, why did Fengxiao say this? Beauty has to be appreciated by others to be valuable!
If I was afraid that she would be noticed, why would I let her show up?
Does it mean that to get a beautiful woman, you have to hide her in a golden house? Wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing to bring it out in this way so that everyone can enjoy it?
Of course, if it were an ordinary person, I wouldn't let him see it. Isn't this because you are here as a filial piety? You are not an outsider! "
These words touched Guo Jia's heart again!
It's strange that everyone in Pengcheng is full of praise when talking about Lu Bu. Sure enough, Lu Bu's speech and behavior are different from ordinary people. He is indeed a wonderful person!
Hearing Lu Bu say that he was not an outsider, he suddenly felt a lot more friendly.
Lu Bu added: "I came here as a minister, and I should have given you warm hospitality. But recently there has been a plague around Pengcheng.
In order to prevent the people in the city from being affected by the plague, some epidemic prevention strategies were formulated.
After all, I have set the rules, so I should naturally lead by example, so I turned away the distinguished guests. I feel really uneasy, so please be kind and considerate! "
