Crossing the Datang Restaurant

Chen Xueyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to be able to react, he quickly drank the drink in front of him in one gulp, he drank in a hurry, choked, and his cheeks were stained with a few blushes.

Rong Yushu said coolly: "The taste is not bad, taste the taste of this yellow rice wine, it must be at least three years old."

Chen Xueyi coughed, and then said: "This wine is only two years old."

Rong Yushu: .....is this trying to tear him down?Some doubts looked at him, this kid looks like a non-human being, I didn't expect him to be quite discerning.

Seeing that he was coughing a bit, Rong Yushu handed over a handkerchief, Chen Xueyi quickly caught it, covered his mouth and nose, drank a cup of tea on the table, finally stopped coughing, and said apologetically: "This handkerchief ..."

Rong Yushu raised his eyebrows, and said: "No need, let's put it in your place." He poured the wine again, started to drink for himself, and said, "Looking at Brother Chen, he seems to have studied this wine quite a bit. .”

Chen Xueyi looked a little embarrassed, but he was more friendly than before, and said: "It's not that I have studied it, but my father is in the wine business, so I have done some research on it."

Rong Yushu suddenly realized, Chen Xueyi smiled and said: "This restaurant is actually my own property."

Feng Chen and Dong Chengyi hurriedly bowed their hands. Chen Shuming has always been a heroic person. He usually gathers and doesn't need other people to worry about things. It's no problem for a few people to come and eat for free. Now that he has seen the master, he naturally looks like he wants to express his gratitude.

Rong Yushu couldn't believe it, and said suspiciously: "No way, how come I haven't heard of such good wine in Luoyang City before?" Xue Niang loves good wine the most, this good wine in Luoyang, If it really existed, I'm afraid it would have been moved to the store long ago, so how could there be any omissions?

Chen Xueyi smiled slightly and said: "Although this restaurant is owned by our family, it was officially taken over two months ago. The previous owner of the restaurant transferred it to my father because of poor management."

Let me just say, Rong Yushu convinced himself, and asked curiously: "Brother Chen's accent doesn't sound like someone from Luoyang? Where is his ancestral home?"

Chen Xueyi smiled lightly, and in an instant, it was like spring flowers blooming, and said: "My ancestral home is in Shanxi, and my family is in Taiyuan."

Speaking of Taiyuan, it is a big city. Although it is not as famous as Luoyang Chang'an, it is also a large and prosperous city here. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The most concentrated place of power.

Rong Yushu said curiously: "When it comes to Taiyuan, the power of the Wang family in Taiyuan can be regarded as a hegemony. Are those so-called gentry powers really as gods as they are said to be?"

I like to listen to other people's gossip, and among the civilians like them, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs have always been like the legendary saints, and they can't be found. It's hard to find a local, let them tell about these powerful gentry , how could you not be curious?

The smile on Chen Xueyi's face faded a bit, Rong Yushu instinctively felt that maybe he didn't really want to talk about this issue, just wanted to ask Xiaoer to fill up the wine, and wanted to cover this by talking about a topic, but he didn't expect Chen Xueyi to suddenly say: : "Heh, it's about the same if you say it's God's words. Let's say it's expensive, it's not luxurious. In autumn, there is a special mountain surrounded by thousands of miles. There is a spiritual mountain in Shanxi. The white fox in it is famous. Every autumn, Then we started to encircle and suppress the white fox, if the fur is stained with blood, even the most glorious fur is useless and needs to be captured again, do you know how much fur the Wang family needs to make a fur coat?"

Xiao Er came up, and said to the scholars here attentively, "Would you like some more wine?"

Rong Yushu nodded unhurriedly, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became sympathetic. It was his fault that he got the head start. Dong Chengyi, who was next to him, was very curious, and quickly asked, "How much fur?"

Chen Xueyi didn't answer the question, but he waved his hand to look for Xiao Er, and whispered something in his ear, Xiao Er quickly nodded and retreated, and then Chen Xueyi continued: "You need more than ten adult foxes."

Rong Yushu raised his eyebrows slightly. This number was not worth mentioning to those big families in ancient times. After hundreds of years of accumulation, gold and silver taels were just a number, and the focus was only on enjoyment.

Chen Xueyi continued: "It's just a fur coat. The royal family in Taiyuan has a main house and a side room. The total number of people is almost hundreds. The fox is really pitiful." When Chen Xueyi said this, he sighed with emotion in his expression.

Dong Chengyi sighed, and said: "The gentry really have a lot of money!"

Xiaoer came up, holding a jar of wine, the jar was new, it seemed to be newly imported wine, put it on the table, Chen Xueyi's face looked better, he poured the wine for Rong Yushu and said: "I see that Rong Yushu Brother seems to have a predestined relationship with wine, why not try our special wine?" While speaking, he smiled like a spring breeze, which made people feel good.

Rong Yushu smiled slightly as a thank you, and then followed their topic and said: "The gentry are powerful in themselves, and the famous families who have been officials for generations have their own strength. Let's just talk about it."

Chen Xueyi took a look at Rong Yushu, and sighed: "Brother Rong is really smart. If you were in Taiyuan, if you said something bad about the Wang family, you would end up on the streets in a few days and lose your reputation."

Dong Chengyi was taken aback, and said in disbelief, "Is it that serious?"

Rong Yushu took a sip of the wine in the glass, but found that it was a little spicy, but it was sweet, and most importantly, it was a little sticky. Rong Yushu was a little strange. Generally speaking, there is this kind of sticky taste. They are not too low, and you can clearly feel the endless aftertaste in your mouth as soon as you turn your mouth, unlike ordinary wine, you forget it when you drink it.

Instinctively, the wine was a bit expensive, and looked at Chen Xueyi with an inexplicable look on his face, but found that the latter had a clear smile on his face, and said: "It seems that Brother Rong should have drunk it. It's been 15 years. It is also the best wine in this restaurant."

Rong Yushu was a little surprised, and said, "This wine is Fen wine from Shanxi?"

Fenjiu has a long history. That is to say, Fenjiu, as a royal wine, was highly praised by Emperor Wucheng of the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was recorded in the 24th history, making Fenjiu famous in one fell swoop.

I don’t know if this ancient wine is the effect of the heart. Without the packaging of the modern glass bottle, it is packed in this ordinary jar, warmed, and drunk in the mouth, it seems to have traveled to ancient times.

Rong Yushu laughed at himself. When he was here, wasn't it the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty?

Chen Xueyi smiled, but never mentioned the affairs of the Wang family. Instead, he discussed with everyone the autumn of the coming year and the famous scenic spots near Luoyang.

Chen Shuming's voice came from the middle, the voice was loud, and the surrounding voices suddenly fell down, and the scholars all listened to him seriously.

"It's the twelfth lunar month, and it's freezing cold. It's hard for everyone to come here to participate in the snow appreciation banquet. Shuming thanked everyone here." Chen Shuming's laughter is hearty. If he is a scholar, it is better to say it is smooth A businessman, but compared with the businessmen of Datang, he has less sophistication and more integrity.

Rong Yushu raised his cup and tried his best to submerge himself in the crowd. After such a speech, generally speaking, it was the highlight of the competition.

Sure enough, the crowd made a little noise, and then Chen Shuming said: "Since it is a snow feast, although it is the cold winter outside, there is no lack of wintersweet blooming, pines and cypresses to keep out the cold, everyone should use this winter scenery as a theme, How about a poem for someone?"

What I hate the most is reciting poems and composing odes. What I hate the most is these things. Rong Yushu silently complained, bullying himself a modern person, right?

But soon it was Rong Yushu's turn, he was forced to stand up and said:

"Frost knives scattered down the Qinghuai River,

The sound of the tiger moves down in the middle of the moon.

Deeply covered and still far away mirroring the snow,

If you want to open the pistil, you will admire Qiongzhi. "

Dong Chengyi let out a wow, looking at this appearance, there is a feeling of being unconscious.

Rong Yushu silently rolled his eyes, and bursts of applause came from around. Chen Shuming smiled, and a hearty laugh came, and said: "Brother Wenyu's literary talent is still so good, but it seems that the poem It revealed a little domineering, and I haven't seen him in half a year, and I have a little more pride and righteousness."

Rong Yushu really wanted to cry, but he still smiled and said, "It's a joke." Then he sat down and drank wine with the people around him.

Hmph, the subject matter of these people's poems doesn't change much every time. It's either flowers or the wind. It's always inseparable from wind, flowers, snow, moon, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and various festivals. Although he doesn't know how to write poems, he still writes them early. Don't you have to think about it at a time like this?Just memorize the manuscript that has been revised repeatedly before.

It couldn't be easier for him.

Rong Yushu wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, this matter is simply too simple for him, okay?

After the Rong Yushu, it was Chen Xueyi's turn. The people before him had the right artistic conception and the right format, but there was a little less meaning in it. Chen Xueyi seemed to be used to this kind of scene, so he calmly Smiling, he stood up, his body was like a pine and cypress in the winter snow, straight and tough, and said:

"Wear brocade clothes every year in the cold

Mei Shaochun believes in knowing what it is like

Waiting for the moon alone in the atrium

Standing in the evening building and holding the piccolo"

As soon as this remark came out, the people around fell silent, and then Chen Shuming clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Jia Nian is still so good at hiding acrostics."

Only then did I realize that the combination of the first few words meant "Hanmei is independent"?They all applauded. Although these literati usually regard themselves as noble, they still admire talented people.Rong Yushu also applauded, ahem, although he doesn't know how to appreciate it, it's very, very powerful.

Dong Chengyi was completely adored, as if he was regarded as the rhythm of a new generation of male gods.
