Chapter Eighteen
Chapter 18: The end of the matter
Zheng Jianqiu was also happy to get Chen Wanrong's approval and gave Chen Wanrong an idea: "Brother Chen, I think you should find some guys, and doing a lot of things is the right thing to do."
This is inevitable. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "What the old man said is very true. I think so too. I have been busy with this matter when I came back from Chang'an. If you didn't want to see me, I wouldn't have come. This is all for your golden face."
Zheng Jianqiu originally thought that Chen Wanrong could only make soap and recite a few poems. Some people with some wonderful thoughts rose sharply after the recent incident. In his mind, Chen Wanrong was already a close friend. He was very honored to hear this: "Haha, I really feel sorry for Brother Chen! Brother Chen, you can't make it in Luojiadian. This place is small and the raw materials may not be available. Besides, although the transportation here is good, there are still shortcomings. Gaojiadian and Majiadian are all large shops in Chang'an, and they need a lot of soap. I can bet that the cars that transport soap will be in a row."
The Taoist and immortal arts have deceived countless people for thousands of years, including many extremely smart people. It is normal for Zheng Jianqiu to be confused. As long as it is not beyond his understanding, it reflects his shrewd side. This sentence came to Chen Wanrong's heart and said with a smile: "Plus, you, the demand will be even greater. It is definitely not appropriate to put it in Luojiadian."
Zheng Jianqiu touched his long beard and analyzed: "It is best to put it in Chang'an. But your younger brother is studying in the county hall. If you go to Chang'an alone, your parents will worry and go to Chang'an with you. Maybe they can't help much, as long as they are around you, it will save you a lot of trouble, which is much more convenient than if you are alone in Chang'an. In this way, your younger brother's study has become a problem. In my opinion, it is better to do it in Ning County."
Many modern family businesses are looking for a group of relatives and friends to do it at the beginning of their business. First, because relatives and friends are all their own people and can work together. Second, if the funds cannot be turned over, they can delay their salary, and they will not say that. Chen Wanrong has enough funds now, and there is no problem of delaying wages. Although Chen Laoshi and his wife are from rural areas and have little knowledge, they will have unexpected ideas from time to time. For example, Chen Wang's flower folding and Chen Laoshi's wooden boxes are of great help to Chen Wanrong. These soaps are still useful, and with the two elders around, Chen Wanrong really saves a lot of trouble.
This was what Chen Wanrong said, and Chen Wanrong had to accept Zheng Jianqiu's keen mind and nodded and praised: "The old man said this very well, and I think so too."
Zheng Jianqiu showed his enthusiastic side: "I am more familiar with Ning County. If you need my help, I will do my best if you say something."
That's great. Chen Wanrong wanted to hear this most. He smiled and said, "Old man, everything else is easy to deal with, but this place is hard to find. I have thought about it. To make enough soap, it requires dozens of people. I have always wanted to find a suitable place to live and workmanship."
Zheng Jianqiu asked, "Is there anything I like?"
Chen Wanrong blurted out without thinking and replied: "I came back from Chang'an yesterday. I looked in the county. There is a courtyard in the west of the city, which is not bad. I just don't know which house it is, nor do I know if the owner wants to use it for me."
This is his old house, and he cherishes his life. If he doesn't agree, it will be too embarrassing. Therefore, Chen Wanrong's words are very reasonable and does not point out that this is Zheng Jianqiu's old house, and a way out is reserved for retreat.
I guess Zheng Jianqiu already knew that Chen Wanrong was talking about his old house, but what he said was enough to make Chen Wanrong angry. He only heard him say, "There is such a place that has been idle for many years! But I can't tell whether the owner will use it for you. Otherwise, I'll go back and ask for information."
This is his old house, and he actually pretended to be confused. If Chen Wanrong hadn't been worried about making it clear that everyone was embarrassed, he would have said it straightforwardly. Just when Chen Wanrong was angry, Zheng Jianqiu said, "My little brother Chen doesn't know anything. This old house has other twists and turns. You have to ask others to consider it, right?"
This is reasonable, and Chen Wanrong could not say anything, so he could only smile and said, "The old man is right and the words are right!" He didn't even make an official for this old house and did not refuse at all. How could Chen Wanrong ask for more?
Zheng Jianqiu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, let's make a note."
This is necessary, and Chen Wanrong had no objection. He discussed with Zheng Jianqiu for a while and drafted the terms. Zheng Jianqiu wrote two copies, and after signing, he held one copy each.
Zheng Jianqiu came here today to soap. Now that things are done, he also unexpectedly found that Chen Wanrong has other ideas about "Immortal Arts and Taoism". After finishing the work, he rubbed Chen Wanrong to ask for the immortal techniques that he was puzzled by. Chen Wanrong was not afraid of these basic chemistry. Chen Wanrong explained them one by one. Zheng Jianqiu was stunned. He never thought that the immortal techniques that were so skillful to the Taoist genius was so simple.
I admire Chen Wanrong from the bottom of my heart. This is the real living god!
Li Qingquan knew that Chen Wanrong could make soap and mix tanning agents. He had many ideas and occasionally recited some poems. He didn't expect that Chen Wanrong had such a deep attainment in "Immortal Arts". Even the ancestor of Taoism, Laozi, might not be able to compare with him. He praised him repeatedly: "I have seen it, I have seen it!"
While the three of them were talking and talking, an old man pushed open the door: "Shopkeeper, the food is ready."
When Chen Wanrong saw that it was Kong Bo who drank and delivered wine and food last time. Before he knew it, it was already lunchtime, and time flew so fast.
Li Qingquan touched his belly and chuckled, "I won't be hungry if I don't say it, but I'm really hungry when I say it. Mr. Zheng, Wanrong, let's go and have a drink."
The three of them went out one after another. Li Qingquan took the door and led Chen Wanrong and Zheng Jianqiu to the house where guests were banqueting. After entering the house, Chen Wanrong saw that the layout in the house was still the same as before and had no change. The only difference was that there was a whole table of wine and food on the table, and fish sashimi was placed in the middle.
There was another small wine table full of wine cups. Chen Wanrong looked at it and placed five wines in Yingzhou, Wucheng Ruoxia, Jiannan Shaochun, Lingxi, and Gaochang. When Ma Zhizhong invited Chen Wanrong to drink, he placed more wines, but that was in Chang'an, this was in Luojiadian, a small countryside. It was good to have five of the most popular wines in the Tang Dynasty.
This Li Qingquan has really spent a lot of effort on this meal.
Li Qingquan asked Zheng Jianqiu to take the position. Zheng Jianqiu admired Chen Wanrong very much and insisted on Chen Wanrong to take the position. Chen Wanrong knew etiquette and was still a junior. How could he do such a thing? He refused. In the end, Zheng Jianqiu took the position, and Chen Wanrong and Li Qingquan accompanied each other on the left and right.
Li Qingquan picked up the wine: "Old man loves wine, let's drink it first." He put it on the three of them and said: "Old man, let you open your eyes today. Wanrong doesn't need to drink it. You can tell how many years of wine it has been."
Zheng Jianqiu is good wine, and he still loves this wine. He can taste it after many years of age. Just by looking at it, he can see that he hasn't heard of it yet, and he can't help but be surprised. "Is there really such a thing?"
"It's true!" Li Qingquan wanted to please him and said with a smile: "If the old man doesn't believe it, he can get a late win."
Zheng Jianqiu was very happy and looked at Chen Wanrong: "Please show my skills and let me open my eyes."
Chen Wanrong knew that it would be impossible not to show it to him. He put the wine glass slightly, looked at it, and smiled and said, "Is it a fine wine that has been more than ten years old?"
Li Qingquan did not answer, but looked at Zheng Jianqiu. Zheng Jianqiu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and kept slapping it. After a while, nodded and said, "Thirteen years of wine! Brother Chen, how did you see it? Tell me to know." Yanlai was very anxious.
Chen Wanrong picked up the wine glass and said slightly: "Turn the wine glass sideways like this, you will know the color of the junction of the cup wall and the wine grout. If it is blue, it will only be three or five years. If it is red, it will be five or six years, and if it is amber, it will be a good wine for more than ten years."
Zheng Jianqiu came over to take a look and was surprised: "Wanrong, this..."
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "This is not amber. Can Mr. Li treat you with wine for one or two years? So I guess this wine is more than ten years."
This is the method of elimination. Zheng Jianqiu's thumbs up: "High! So high! Really high! Brother Chen is also a person in this way. He has lost his respect and has lost his respect!" Drunkards always like drinkers. Zheng Jianqiu accidentally discovered that Chen Wanrong is a very accomplished drinker, and he has another common "language". He can't do it either if he is excited.
"If you don't dare to be it, you won't dare to be it. If you drink one or two cups occasionally, how can you be good at this?" Chen Wanrongqian said.
Li Qingquan picked up the wine glass, said "please", and raised his neck to drink. Zheng Jianqiu and Chen Wanrong touched and drank it.
Zheng Jianqiu filled the wine and said with a smile: "Drinking must be done with wine. If there is no wine, the wine will be very boring. Start with Mr. Li."
The drinking order was extremely prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. "The Tang people must drink wine to serve as a commander to assist in joy." This is especially true for scholars. Li Qingquan knew that he was not a match for Zheng Jianqiu, so in order to please him, he had to bite the bullet and go back: "I would like to ask the old man to issue an order."
There were many wine orders in the Tang Dynasty, including poems, books, couplets, flowers, branches, and scheming orders, and many varieties, and various. Zheng Jianqiu considered that Li Qingquan did not read many books, so he naturally would not make things difficult for him to show off. He thought for a while and said, "Let's go and sing."
There are many ways to pass the order, such as rolling dice, drawing lots, making fists, and guessing numbers. It is suitable for the public and is very suitable for Li Qingquan, a person who has not read many books. Li Qingquan happily agreed: "Please, please."
Zheng Jianqiu pondered for a moment, raised his hands flat, and said with emotion: "There are flowers and wines all over the banquet, and the wine is full of golden cups and flowers in his hands. Wear flowers on his head to drink. After drinking, we crossed our hands high, and the pipa was full of lovesickness, and we danced our sleeves at the banquet." While speaking, we pointed and gestured, as if modern punching, the gestures were complicated and there were many patterns. At the end, we stood up and waved our sleeves, which were quite graceful.
This was a teasing order, a popular drink order, and he just started to stare. Li Qingquan also joined in, and the two of them finished talking together.
The two of them took their seats again, drank a drink, and looked at Chen Wanrong at the same time. They didn't have to think that it would be difficult for Chen Wanrong.
When it comes to the hot things in modern banquets such as boxing, Chen Wanrong will not lose, but he doesn't know much about the drinking orders of the Tang Dynasty. It's really not easy to deal with veterans like Zheng Jianqiu. He didn't expect to say anything, but Zheng Jianqiu issued an order: "Congratulations, two good stars, three stars, four joys, hardware, six six smoothness, seven seven cleverness, and eight kings."
Chen Wanrong knew that this was somewhat similar to modern boxing. He guessed that he was playing gestures. After all the way, he made mistakes only once, and Zheng Jianqiu was so skillful that he was not wrong at all.
What we are talking about now is called "Thumb War", "Blowing War", "Blowing War" in the Tang Dynasty. Zheng Jianqiu originally thought Chen Wanrong was very familiar, but he didn't expect that he was not as good as himself. He felt a little regretful and pointed at Chen Wanrong and smiled and said, "Brother Chen, it's your time to drink."
Chen Wanrong was not bad either. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and smiled and said, "Come again." The reason for losing this time is that he is not familiar with the wine order, and if he comes again, he shouldn't lose.
Zheng Jianqiu shook his head and said, "This is too simple, I won't come anymore. Brother Chen has many wonderful ideas and ideas. He can write poems and write poems. Brother Chen, look at you."
Li Qingquan echoed: "The old man's words are very right. I will make a fuss and make a fuss to him. If you don't have to be happy late, you must write poetry before you can succeed. You must write poetry."
When it comes to poetry, Chen Wanrong reads Tang poetry a lot, and just put on a poem that is so beautiful that he can shock the four seats. There will be no problem: "Master, what aspect do you want?"
"This, you can see. Poetry is not always available, and Brother Chen chants whatever he thinks. With Brother Chen's talent, it must be a good sentence." Zheng Jianqiu was born as a scholar after all, and knew that inspiration was not always available, and the conditions were very broad.
He did not restrict it. Chen Wanrong wanted to recite poems and just open his mouth. There was only one thing: it was drinking and having fun, not the quality of the poem, but the atmosphere. Chen Wanrong knew a lot about the poems of the poet saint and immortal. If he put one or two poems into it, he would definitely win the whole hall and his face would be revealed enough, but it would not help the atmosphere. He should be a hilarious poem.
At this moment, Zheng Jianqiu and Li Qingquan's eyes did not turn. Looking at Chen Wanrong, he thought it was him thinking and did not disturb him.
After thinking for a moment, there is really such a poem that can make people laugh and increase the atmosphere of the banquet. Chen Wanrong said: "Then I will give you a poem about chanting snow. If you don't want to, please don't laugh."
Zheng Jianqiu tapped the table with his right hand and praised: "Snow is white, noble in character, and admired by others. It is a great idea to recite snow poems with his talent."
"I dare not, I dare not!" Chen Wanrong said humbly and said, "The country is in general, and the black hole in the well..."
Zheng Jianqiuman thought Chen Wanrong was going to recite a famous line, but he didn't expect that it would be such irrelevant words. He couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What kind of poem is this?"
Chen Wanrong did not answer the question, and then chanted: "The yellow dog's body is white, and the white dog's body is swollen."
"Can this be a poem?" Zheng Jianqiu's poem in his mind is a famous line that is a parallelism and parallelism, rhythm and horns, and can enter the elegant hall. Like this limerick poem that appeared in the middle Tang Dynasty, I heard the first time in my life, but it was not as good as the classics at all, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Qingquan had not read many books, and his understanding of poetry was not as strict as Zheng Jianqiu. He slapped his right hand on the table and praised: "What a good poem! Old man, I understand it. It means it snows, and it's white everywhere, but there is a big dark hole in the well. The snow is so big that the yellow dog's body is white. The white dog's body looks swollen because there is too much snow."
This is the general meaning of this poem, and he understood it very popularly. Zheng Jianqiu was stunned for a while before pointing at Chen Wanrong and laughing loudly: "Brother Chen, you actually have the ability to joke, I'm so jokingly! I'm so jokingly!" He covered his stomach with his hands, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Li Qingquan was also very happy and patted Chen Wanrong's shoulder: "Wanrong, you recite poems so funny, it's even more funny than playing rock-scissors and drinking wine!"
The liquor poem is easy to understand and humorous, and it is more likely to make people laugh than drinking. The atmosphere suddenly became much lively. Zheng Jianqiu was very excited. While urging him to drink, he urged Chen Wanrong to have another poem. Li Qingquan was also unwilling to agree and couldn't help but agree.
It was really hard to swear, Chen Wanrong had to chant another song: "The snow was falling all over the sixth day, just like the jade girl under Qiong Yao. One day it was sunny, so I could use the broom to use the broom to use the shovel to use the shovel to use the shovel."
After the poem was chanted, Zheng and Li fell to the ground and laughed for a long time before they breathed. The three of them advised me to drink, but I poured you and I didn't know how much they drank, until they drank the wine cups. Zheng and Li lay on the table and shouted with their tongues: "I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I can drink a thousand cups!"
Chen Wanrong was still unsatisfied, so he picked up the wine cup and shook it, but it was empty. He shook his head and sighed: "You are too careless, and you fell down before you even got drunk!"
Chapter completed!
