After being dressed as a scumbag, I was dismissed? !

Gu Beizhi came to Baoyixuan again, and the shop assistants at Baoyixuan knew him. At first, he thought it was a poor ghost who could only look at it and not buy it. Later, after hearing that he was a famous alcoholic talent, his attitude changed. The dislike at the beginning turned into lukewarmness, but later I got acquainted with it, and I was able to joke a little bit.

"Gu Xiucai is here to feast your eyes again today. Recently, we have a new wine vessel from the former Confucianism. Take a look." The shop waiter winked, teasing Gu Beizhi's reputation as a 'drunkard'.

Gu Beizhi had already passed the age when his self-esteem was higher than the sky, so he smiled nonchalantly, "That's good, Brother Xiao Ding, quickly show it to let Gu look good."

The waiter was not lying, he really took out the set of wine vessels, it was a set of cyan jade jug and wine glass, although it was said to be a set, in fact there was only one pot and one cup.

"Don't look at there is only one pot and one cup. These were used by the former prime minister and famous Confucian Kong Xiuqi. The copybooks left by layman Xianyun are now worth a lot of money. It is hard for us Baoyixuan to receive such a complete set. wine vessel..." The waiter at the store saw that Gu Beizhi was disapproving, and hurriedly explained it, proving the strength of his store by the way.

From his words, Gu Beizhi learned that Kong Xiuqi, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, was a famous calligrapher, and he also had a well-known hobby, which was good wine.

This famous Confucianist has been associated with wine all his life. For example, one day he was deeply drunk and wrote the famous poem "Drinking under the Moon", such as "After drinking, let the treacherous man next to the emperor take off his boots to ridicule that the treacherous man is nothing more than a slave." feat.

There are also many small stories. Listening carefully, there are some similarities with the poets in the history of Huaguo, but they are only similar. Gu Beizhi can't help but feel a little bit disappointed.

He carefully looked at this set of wine vessels. The wine jug has a long neck, a big belly, and round feet.

Xiao Ding just wanted to see his jokes, this jug is not only as simple as the famous Confucian used it, but also has a unique feature that this jug has no mouth, except for the spout where the wine is poured, there is no other opening on it. The spout of the spout is extremely thin, so it would be unrealistic to pour wine through the spout, so how do you pour wine into it?

He wanted to see how baffled Gu Xiucai was, so he asked with a smile, "Gu Xiucai, this jug has no mouth, guess how the wine was poured into it?"

Gu Beizhi laughed. It seemed that he was underestimated by Xiao Ding, and he also cooperated, "Xiao Ding is going to test Gu?"

"No, no, Gu Xiucai is smart, so he must be able to see the secret of this flagon." Xiao Ding waved his hands and complimented him, but his tone didn't seem to believe that he could guess it.

Gu Beizhi really felt that this jug was very rare, but it was not because it had no lid, but because it was carved out of jade, which made him wonder who could be so skilled in making jugs. interest.

"Brother Xiao Ding said that, if Gu can't answer it, wouldn't he look stupid? The secret of filling wine in this flagon is not difficult. If Gu can answer it, can Xiao Ding answer Gu's question?" Gu Beizhi walked around the jug a few times, and there was no trick at all to the naked eye.

"As long as I know, I will know everything!" Brother Xiao Ding was very confident. It was the first time he had seen such a strange jug, and the owner also said that it was the first time he had seen this kind of jug. What can a scholar know?

Gu Beizhi smiled, "It's settled, Brother Xiao Ding, don't change your mind for a while."

"Of course not."

It was morning, and there were not many customers in the store, and Xiao Ding had nothing to do, so he started playing with Gu Beizhi. The shopkeeper saw that they didn't affect anything, so he didn't care, and waited until Xiao Ding and Gu Beizhi made a bet Come on, the shopkeeper noticed it.

The jug is a rare thing. Last time I saw the owner demonstrate it. Up to now, he still doesn't understand the mystery of it, and he is quite puzzled. This doubt arouses his curiosity, but he is also the same as Xiaoding. I don't think Gu Beizhi can guess the secret of the flagon.

But the next moment, both the shopkeeper and Xiao Ding looked at Gu Beizhi's actions in surprise, and saw that he turned the jug over, with the bottom facing up, revealing the two-finger-thick holes in the bottom.

Gu Beizhi poured the tea on the side into the hole without hesitation, and the spout on the front of the jug did not flow out a drop of water. When he filled it to [-]% full, he turned it over without hesitation so that the jug was facing up , and not a drop of water flowed from the hole underneath.

Pick up the wine glass, tilt the jug, and the tea will flow out smoothly along the spout.At the end of the demonstration, Gu Beizhi poured out all the water in the wine jug and erected it at 90°, with the spout facing down, to control the water.

"Brother Xiao Ding, how did Gu demonstrate?" Gu Beizhi put the jug and wine glass back into the wooden box covered with silk cloth. His movements were not as careful as Xiao Ding's, but the smooth flow of water did not damage the wine vessel at all.

When the shopkeeper saw Gu Beizhi's movement of storing the wine vessel, he knew that he was an expert.

"You, how do you know?" Xiao Ding's eyes widened, and he was very surprised.

Gu Beizhi smiled slightly, "It's not surprising, there is something in this pot, and Gu just happened to know it."

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter, "I wonder if Gu Xiucai can tell the old man what's going on in his stomach?"

"You can, shopkeeper, please take a look." Gu Beizhi took out the pot again and turned it upside down, exposing the two-finger-wide hole, tilting it slightly, "Look, can you see that there is a pipe connected to the pot in this hole? ?”

The shopkeeper looked at it for a long time, "There is indeed a pipe, but what does this mean?"

Gu Beizhi put the jug back, "The secret is this tube. It is a thick tube at one end and a thinner tube at the other. The end hidden in the belly of the jug is much thinner, and it is very close to the upper layer of the jug. It's not connected."

He put the small wine glass in the teacup, and poured water into the teacup, "assuming that the wine glass is the tube in the belly of the wine pot, and the teacup is the outer layer of the wine pot, when I turn it upside down, the water can It flows in along this pipe, and when I turn it over again, all the water in the pipe has gone into the abdomen instead of the pipe, just like it is now."

In fact, the reason for the pressure is also involved, but Gu Beizhi might not be able to explain it all, so he simply ignored this reason and only talked about the structure.

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" The shopkeeper clapped his hands, "I didn't expect it to be like this! Gu Xiucai is very knowledgeable!"

"It's just a coincidence." Gu Beizhi was very modest.

The shopkeeper solved his curiosity and felt relieved, so he asked Xiaoding to move out a mahogany box from the warehouse. The box was not big and not too heavy. The old man reciprocated, these are some undetermined items left by our Baoyixuan, you can choose one of them."

The things inside are not big, and they all look dirty, and they look completely worthless, but they are also given away for free, so the value is not high, and there is no burden to accept it.

So he glanced at it casually, and took a carved ebony piece similar to a small pendant, "That's it."

The shopkeeper saw that he took something casually, and he didn't even have the intention of picking the most valuable, and he liked it a lot. Although he couldn't judge the value, some of them were gold and jade objects, and they were still worth some money. Gu Bei However, he chose an ebony carving that he didn't know what to make.

"Gu Xiucai, why not replace it with this gold-plated Maitreya Buddha? Even if it's not worth much, it's a good choice to take it home and worship it." The shopkeeper advised him to replace it with a gold-plated Buddha. Although it is not big, it can be sold if it is sold. Two or three taels of silver.

"No need, I think this sculpture is very beautiful, it suits my eyes, and I would like to thank the shopkeeper for the gift." Gu Bei knew about the thank you, and chatted with the shopkeeper a few more times, then left Baoyixuan to copy it. The bookstore of the book, today has to write and transcribe quickly.

More than two hours later, Gu Beizhi shook his sore arm, put away the pen, ink and manuscript, and locked them in the second cabinet next to him. This was given to him by the bookstore. Everything is locked in so that there is no chance of confusion with other people.

After greeting the shopkeeper of the bookstore, Gu Beizhi hurried to the official salt shop on South Street to buy salt. The price of salt was quite expensive, a full 23 renminbi, which was [-] renminbi more expensive than pork.

According to Gu Beizhi's understanding, 23 yuan for a catty of salt is indeed a bit expensive, but the ancient technology is backward and the transportation is inconvenient, which seems to be understandable.

He bought a catty of salt and spent 23 Wen. On the way back, he saw soybeans selling last year’s old beans. This year’s new beans hadn’t come out yet. You can buy a basket.

Gu Beizhi missed the mellow taste of soy milk, so he bought nine catties of beans and a bag for them for five renminbi. Now the salt in his left hand and the beans in his right hand were all full, so Gu Beizhi didn’t buy anything else. Take your time and go home.

"Dining wind and iron cold, driving horses and holding jade saddles." Gu Beizhi hummed a song while walking, and he didn't feel tired when he got home. Drunk and Feasted"

"I'm back." He called outside the door, Guan Zhou came over and opened the door for him.

"I'm back, go drink some water and rest." Guan Zhou took the things in his hand.

"Hey, I got it." Gu Beizhi went in, still humming, "I don't fear the cool evening wind in my military uniform, why do I think I'm the head of the jade flute sound department, Le Weiyang?"

Guan Zhou was a little curious, "Beizhi, is there anything good today?"

"Huh? No." Gu Beizhi wondered, "What's wrong?"

"You look very happy, and you've been humming." Guan Zhou pursed his lips and smiled, poured salt into the jar and covered it. "Bought soybeans? This food is not good."

"It's not for eating, put it aside, I'll make it later." Gu Beizhi touched his face, but did not answer his previous words.

To say he was happy, it was probably a little bit. Originally, he thought that the knowledge he had learned would be useless here. After all, it was a different time and space, and the history was completely different. But when he saw the flagon today, he found that although the history was different, there were some Things are always the same, and they always work.

Gu Beizhi smiled, probably because the burden in his heart was a little lighter, so he hummed unconsciously.
