The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Bao Zheng left the Kaifeng mansion, even though he left a message, the people in the mansion still couldn't help but relax a little bit, even Yunyan returned to work every day, had something to do, and went home to stay when there was nothing to do.

This is also because his family has moved back now, and it is very close, just a few steps away, even if something happens, there is still time to notify.

However, Yun Yanhui was only working in Tianqingguan, he had no new plans recently, and Bao Zheng was not around, so no one asked him to work, and the things were just asking questions in the cafeteria.

And because he moved, Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu would come to play with him from time to time, Zhao Yunchu was like this today, he went to Kaifeng Mansion to find Yunyan.

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 came a few times.

He belongs to the clan, so it is reasonable that he should not make friends with foreign ministers, even though he came to find Yunyan, but outsiders saw that he had entered Kaifeng Mansion, so it is easy for the imperial censor to participate in the performance.

So, now that Zhao Yunchu came to find someone, he called them outside.

Yunyan was sitting in the shade and watching the prisoners watering the grapes. This is an excellent grape variety he specially selected, and he transplanted a lot of it. eat.

Yun Yanhui was holding a miscellaneous book to read, while looking up at the prisoners from time to time, and then sneered a few words, determined not to make them feel better.

At this time, I heard that Zhao Yunchu was looking outside, Yunyan went back to look at the sky and it was almost noon, so she put down her book, informed her colleagues, and went out.

When Zhao Yunchu saw Yunyan coming back, he went up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, I heard that a foot shop opened in the south of the state recently, the food and wine are very good, I want to eat with you."

"Then wait for me to tell my mother." Yun Yanhui was okay with other things, but he was particularly interested in food. It was very strange. It was not so serious in modern times before. The year is so gluttonous.

Yunyan ran back to say hello to Zheng Ping, she was not at home for lunch, so she and Zhao Yunchu went to the foot shop he mentioned.

Before Yunyan returned, she thought for a long time that the difference between a foot store and a real store is that the main store is larger and has a star rating, while the foot store is a roadside fly restaurant.There are 72 main stores in Tokyo, which may be 72 luxury hotels.

He later discovered that this was not the case at all.The size of a foot shop is not necessarily smaller than that of the main store. The difference between the two is that only the main store has the right to brew wine and is a licensed wine householder who can buy distiller's yeast from the state to make and sell wine, while the foot store can only import wine from the main store.

In ancient times, the production and sales of wine were monopolized by the state, which was called "discussion wine".No, it means the single-plank bridge. Selling wine is like crossing the single-plank bridge. There is only one way.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the different regions, the systems of drinking wine were not the same in different places. There was also a song called Jiuqu, and Tokyo belonged to the Ququ District.

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

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

Due to people's love for wine at that time, the income brought by the sale of wine to the country was second only to the two land taxes in summer and autumn, and the income from sale of salt came after it.Not to mention the tea income, it was several times less.

Zhao Yunchu brought Yunyan back to this newly opened foot shop, which has relatively strong capital and a relatively large scale, with three floors. The wine flag at the door says "Jinbo", which is another name for wine.

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

The doctor of tea and wine invited the two to sit down, Zhao Yunchu ordered a few dishes, and said: "He is famous for his snacks here, we all ordered snacks, do you want some more bars?"

Yun Yanhui basically does not drink, Zhao Yunchu knows.In the same way, Yun Yanhui also knew that Zhao Yunchu only drank at the banquet during the Chinese New Year.

But since this is a side dish, it would be unreasonable not to have wine, so I ordered a few jugs of rice wine and lamb wine to warm it up.

Yellow rice wine is a very common and very old wine, and everyone knows it. This lamb wine is a little different. It belongs to the Song Dynasty. As the name suggests, it is brewed with mutton.

It is said that fat mutton is cut into pieces and boiled until rotten, and the soup is mixed with rice and koji, and brewed together with woody fragrance for ten days. After brewing in this way, the taste is sweet and smooth.

With this brewing method, Yun Yan got 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 ready to be served, Zhao Yunchu poured some rice wine for Yun Yanhui, and then drank while eating the vegetables.The oriole bream, soft sheep, etc. made by this foot shop are very authentic, and some meat pies are added to fill the stomach.

Anchovy is a kind of bream dish. It is marinated with seasonings such as wine tank, Chinese prickly ash, green onion and ginger juice, orange peel and other seasonings. Once dry, it can be cooked, preferably dry steaming.

The yellow sparrow bream in this foot shop is extremely tasty, fragrant and delicious, and goes well with wine.

As for soft sheep, it is simmered mutton. People in Song Dynasty really love mutton.

Although he basically doesn't drink alcohol, the alcohol content at this time is really not high, only [-] to [-] degrees, Yun Yanhui, who has passed the test of various modern alcohols, drinking rice wine is like drinking a drink.

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

Yun Yan returned a big bowl, Zhao Yunchu hurriedly persuaded him when he saw it: "Brother Yan, you don't usually drink alcohol, don't drink like this, you will get drunk."

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

Zhao Yunchu blushed, "In case you're drunk..."

Yun Yan replied: "??"

Yunyan rolled her eyes back, she didn't want to ask Zhao Yunchu why he blushed for no reason at all.

After drinking cups of rice wine, Yun Yanhui's expression remained the same - at most, his cheeks were a little red because of the hot Ruan Yang, but otherwise his expression was calm and his eyes were clear.

However, Zhao Yunchu's eyes were a little foggy, because Yun Yanhui kept drinking, he couldn't help but drink along with each other, after a few rounds, it was more than his usual drinking capacity, at this moment, he began to hug Yun Yanhui's waist Let go.

Yunyan said back, telling me to be careful, let's see who gets drunk first.But why is the drinking capacity so light?It can't be pretending, Yun Yanhui beat him on the back with his elbow in disbelief, and warned: "Don't lend me a drink to pretend to be crazy—"

Zhao Yunchu groaned and slid to the ground, resting his head on Yunyanhui's thigh, "Aunt..."

Yun Yan called Dr. Jiu over with a livid face, "Bring me a basin of water and pour him over."

Dr. Liquor was taken aback, "Guest, your companion is just drunk, and the bill has already been settled, why do you want to drink him?"

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

Dr. Liquor immediately became unhappy, "Guest, the wine in our shop is imported from Fan Lou, and it's notoriously easy to get drunk. What do you mean 'just' and drank two jugs!"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Well, the wine seller is not happy...

But when he said that, could it be that Zhao Yunchu really didn't drink well?

"Okay, then, then you help me lift him up, and I'm leaving." Yun Yan looked back to see that there was still more than half of the pot of rice wine left, then raised her head and poured it all down, her eyes were clear and her face remained unchanged, "Look What am I doing?"

Dr. Liquor was frightened by his drinking capacity, and he was tongue-tied, "This, this...well..."

Alas, after drinking so many pots of wine, he is still sane and his complexion does not change. Could it be that the shop has met the legendary wine fairy?

Dr. Jiu helped Yun Yanhui to lift Zhao Yunchu up in a trance, but no one could separate Zhao Yunchu's hand from Yunyan Hui's waist. In the end, Yun Yanhui could only hold a waist under the eyes of everyone. The pendant goes out.

……

"Woooooo..." Halfway through the walk, Zhao Yunchu burst into tears.

Yun Yan replied: "??"

A tall and handsome young man hugged the other's back and cried, it seemed that there was a story, passers-by looked sideways and slowed down their pace, seeing that if Zhao Yunchu cried more fiercely, they would start to watch.

Yun Yanhui only felt very embarrassed and didn't want to attack him, so she forced herself to ask patiently: "Xiao Chu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yunchu cried and said: "Unfortunate..."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yan glanced around and signaled to everyone: You see, it's just that you are drunk and feel bad.

"It's okay, you get up first, let's go home first, shall we?" Yun Yan replied coaxing him nicely.

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

"...Well." Yun Yan snorted back, Zhao Yunchu was half a head taller than him, and his shoulders were wider, he looked a size bigger than him, his legs were still not strong, half dragging and half walking.In this way, Yun Yan felt that he had carried a bear.

be strong.

Yunyan gritted her teeth and grabbed Zhao Yunchu's outstretched arm, carrying him halfway home.Originally, he wanted to send the man to the palace, but now it seems that he might have died of exhaustion before being sent, so he simply took him back to his home.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Yun Yan sat down while supporting the courtyard wall, 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, both of them were flushed, and Zhao Yunchu was even unconscious, so he walked over and asked, smelling of alcohol, "Brother, why are you so drunk?" .”

"I'm not drunk, I'm making him hot!" Yun Yan replied very helplessly.

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

"How can you drink like this..." Shuangyi muttered, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhao Yunchu, seeing Brother Yan wanted to support the wall, she said, "Don't get up, I'll let him go and come again."

Shuangyi carried Zhao Yunchu in, put him on Yunyan's bed, and asked A Niang to make sober soup, then went out and picked up Yunyan's back.

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

It is definitely inappropriate for a princess to hold her. The picture is unreadable, but carrying it is still within his acceptable range.

"If you carry it on your shoulders, your stomach won't feel right." Shuangyi was still thinking about him, carried him into the room, and his subordinates paid attention to it, but they were sure of it.

Zheng Ping saw someone, came up to smell it, and confirmed that although Yun Yanhui was not drunk, she had drunk a lot, "Why did you eat so much?"

"It's fun, and the wine is not strong." Yun Yan replied with a smile, "It's almost like Tianshuier."

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

"Aniang, don't be angry," Yunyan recalled the low-alcohol rice wine, and gave Zheng Ping another smack, "I'll secretly get some wine for Aniang, it's for beauty."

Although the country discusses wine, but he secretly brewed some of it himself, and no one knew about it. Anyway, wine koji is not needed to make wine.

"You, what are you talking about eating and drinking, first go and watch the drunk man inside," Zheng Ping poked his forehead, "No one is watching, so don't make him stumble."
