Chapter 50: The Wine of Du Fu (1)(1/2)
In the Mingde Hall, a group of playboys gathered in several circles, some of whom recited poems and wrote counterparts, some of whom called and cursed and slapped, and some of whom gathered together to compete with each other.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a ghost crying and howling, and it is no exaggeration to fly sand and stones.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Du He couldn't imagine what the Tai Chi Palace looked like.
Prince Li Chengqian sat in the main seat, his face full of boring expressions. When he saw Du He coming in, he immediately waved: "Erlang, Du Erlang, come here!"
Du He didn't want to go there, but Li Chengqian was different from Li Ke after all. After all, he was also the prince, so he had to give the face he deserved.
Shi Shiran walked forward and before he could speak, Li Chengqian had already said, "Why did Erlang come here at this time? I'll let me wait for a while."
"Forgive me, Your Highness. I saw the stars outside Mingde Gate. I was so confused that I had been delayed. I hope Your Highness will not blame you."
Li Chengqian looked at me: "Why did Erlang still call him Your Highness? Do you look down on me, Li Gaoming?"
"Uh..." Du He stopped.
I thought to myself that I looked down on you, I didn’t dare to look at you, okay?
But after thinking about it, his mouth was very honest: "My little brother Du He, I have met Brother Gao Ming."
"Haha..., that's right, come and sit down." Li Chengqian laughed and pointed to the location beside him: "Today, you and my brother will not return if you are drunk."
Du He hesitated for a moment, and thought of Li Chengqian's unreliable hobby, he couldn't help but tighten his thighs and shivered: "Brother Gao Ming, I'd better sit down below, that... sit down below with a more comfortable seat."
Although Du He does not want to discriminate against anyone or question other people's interests and hobbies, it does not mean that he can accept it himself.
Li Chengqian wanted to continue persuading him, but at this time Li Lizhi and Li Yi walked in, carefully avoided the two broken wine cups on the ground, bypassed Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, came to Du He, and smiled and asked softly: "Brother, why are you so happy? Lizhi heard laughter outside."
"Uh..., is that?" Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and changed the topic: "Why is Lizhi not with her mother in Tai Chi Palace? What are you doing for her brother?"
"My mother asked me to come and take a look. Three days ago, Qiu Hunting was all thanks to Mr. Du's help from the righteous help of the Duke of E to save Mr. Du from the verge of death. Mr. Du's ability to remember for a strong memory made Changle very impressed." Li Lizhi said the following words to Du He, with curiosity, looking at him up and down.
Although everyone had met at Baqiao last time, Li Lizhi had been standing in the crowd at that time and had never had close contact with Du He.
"The tricks of the eagle are not worth mentioning, and the princess is over-reward."
Looking at the two princesses who were so close that they were all right, Du He took two steps back and bowed respectfully.
The first is to avoid suspicion, and the second is to avoid suspicion.
Changle is Changsun Chong's wife, and Du He still understands the truth that his friend's wife should not be bullied.
As for Xiao Shiqi, Du He has always avoided it and was afraid that he would not dare to come forward.
At this time, Changsun Chong also noticed the situation here, and didn't bother to brag and pussy, so he ran over and said hello to Changle: "Cousin, you are here."
I have to say that with Du He present, Changsun Chong expressed great pressure.
After all, this is the first nickname among the playboys. When a woman in Chang'an City mentioned Du He, the two-god young master Du He, no one looked envious.
If this kid gives himself a sword to snatch love and abduct Changle away, he will be a huge loss.
Li Lizhi didn't think so much, and nodded to Changsun Chong with a generous look: "My little sister has seen her cousin, but she hasn't seen her for several days. How can you cousin?"
"Okay, very good." Changsun Chong smiled foolishly, making Du He unable to bear to look at him.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he went to find a place to sit next to him, too lazy to pay attention to this person who forgot his righteousness when he saw the lust.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. As soon as Du He sat down, there was an extra person next to him, staring at him with a resentful look: "The vastness of the earth is wide and the road is three thousand, looking at the distance between the clouds and the clouds... Du Erlang, when did your mouth become so poisonous?"
Du He turned his head to look at the person who came, then looked at the playboy who gathered together and talked loudly, and said with some meaning: "Li Laosan, what are you talking about? Why is my mouth poisonous?"
"Uh..." Li Ke was stunned and felt a lot of malice in an instant, and quickly shook his head: "No, nothing."
"Oh, that's good." Du He nodded: "Tell me, I'm so anxious to call me in, what's the matter."
When Li Ke heard this, he forgot his previous unhappiness and squeezed to Du He and said mysteriously: "It's nothing big... I just want to ask, can your Datang Sugar Co., Ltd. continue to add shares?"
"Sharing stocks? That's definitely not possible." Du He asked with a confused expression on his face and said, "What are you asking about this? Don't you have shares in Datang Candy Making? I tell you, if people are not in a good way, we can't be too greedy."
"I, where do I have any shares?"
Li Ke was heartbroken and said in a grief: "The five hundred coins I invested in have long been taken away by my father, and not only me, but also Changle, Yuzhang, Gaoyang..., all of us have taken away the money for our members."
"Puchi..." I couldn't bear it anymore, there was no need to endure it anymore.
Du He couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud: "Hahahahaha..., Li, Li Lao San, this matter has nothing to do with me, hahaha..., Datang Candy Make only recognizes contracts but not people. No matter who it is, as long as you come with the contract, you can receive dividends. I'm sorry, I don't have a penny without a contract."
【On, what is the greatest use of friends?】
【Answer, it is for tricking!】
Li Ke listened to Du He's laughter and wished he could kill him to the ground.
Money, that's all money.
If I just felt that Datang can make money, so I invested 500 jin, then now Datang candy has shown that I can really make money by using practical actions.
The investment of 500 jin has now been hyped up to five times the price outside, which means that if you take out a contract for one month, you can directly get 2,500 jin.
It's just one month!
If you wait a year later, maybe as Du He said, it would be able to increase by a hundred times.
By then, it will not be a few thousand guan, but a few tens of thousands of guan.
"Hmph, gloat!" A snorted and a sarcastic sentence.
Du He, immersed in happiness, felt a sharp pain in his waist. He grinned his teeth and turned around and said angrily: "Who! Do you want to die, right?"
"Yes, do you want to try it?" Li Yi's pretty face was cold and cold, Leng Leng Leng looked at Du He.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!
When Du He saw clearly that the person who was stabbing Gu was Xiao Shiqi, he immediately urinated and stood up decisively: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I have something to report to my face. I wonder if Your Highness has time?"
Li Chengqian looked at Du He and then Li Yi, and didn't know if he should help for a while.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision. Who knows what the enemy is making trouble? What if the group is wrong...
Finally, Li Yi spoke first: "Brother, the time is almost over. Sister Changle and I have to go back to report to the Empress and say goodbye."
Changle also stood up at this time and said, "Brother, stay and Changle leaves."
"Uh..., OK, be careful on the way when you two go back." Li Chengqian was confused and was a little confused about what the purpose of Changle and Li Yi came here.
When the two left, Li Chengqian looked at Du He.
Don’t say that Du He just said something was wrong, but it really reminded him of something. He got up and walked down from the main seat, came to Du He to sit down, waved his hand to Li Ke who was about to get up, and signaled him to sit: "Erlang, the creation of suture technique is so obvious."
Du He nodded: "The problem is not very big. I have made some high-level wine for disinfection these days. Although it is not as good as real alcohol, it should have some effect."
Li Chengqian was confused when he heard this. He could understand what disinfection means, but what does this height mean? Wine is divided into height?
And that alcohol can also become essence?
Tell me mythological stories?
"Erlang, what is high-alcohol, and what is alcohol?"
"This..." Du He suddenly realized that Tang did not have the concept of alcohol concentration, so he had no choice but to popularize the science of Li Chengqian and Li Ke: "I'll say that, the reason why wine is intoxicating is mainly because it contains alcohol. Generally speaking, the higher the concentration of alcohol, the stronger the wine will be, and it is easier to intoxicate."
"Oh, I understand. I used to drink more than ten cups of grape brew at a time, but I could drink up to five cups of Sanle pulp. Does this mean that the alcohol concentration of Sanle pulp is higher than that of grape brew?"
"Yes, that's what it means." Du He nodded.
Li Ke suddenly spoke on the side, "No, Erlang, you just mentioned high wine. Have you made wine that is stronger than Sanle Juice these days?"
"Yes!" Du He thought of the scene where Du Chong knelt down after just steaming the wine, and nodded and said, "The newly made high-level wine is much more intense than Sanle Juice. Most people can only drink two cups at most. Three cups are basically a huge amount. If you drink four or five cups, you may be drunk to death."
The Tang Dynasty cups were almost equivalent to the large cups of later generations. A cup of wine was at least about four taels, and drinking two cups would almost reach one pound.
So what Du He said is not an exaggeration. After all, it is distilled liquor, and it is at least fifty degrees. Drinking a pound of one meal is already overestimating these ancient people.
However, neither Li Chengqian nor Li Ke believed Du He's words.
Just wine, even if it is stronger than Sanle, how strong can it be? What can you say in four or five cups of wine can make people die of drunkenness? Isn’t bragging like this?
"Erlang, do you think the wine has been brought before? Why don't you bring it to me and let me see it?"
"Yes, yes, take it out. With your personality, you have such a good thing. I don't believe you can show it off."
The two brothers Li Chengqian ran through the crowd, and Du He said depressedly: "I didn't bring the wine. This thing is actually for disinfection and cannot be drunk."
"There is nothing that cannot be drunk? Isn't it all wine?" The more Du He refused, the more Li Ke felt that he was exaggerating. He jumped up and said to the dandy playboys who were still making noises: "Brothers, brothers, please be quiet. Just now Du Erlang said that he had excellent wines at home, and three cups were enough to make people drunk. Do you want to taste them?"
"think……"
"Du Erlang, I actually hide my own wine. It's not enough brother!"
"Why do you want to say so much nonsense? Whose horse is quick? Now you go out of the palace and go to Erlang's house to get the wine so that your brothers can see the fine wines."
The playboys are self-conscious and knowledgeable, and they don’t take Li Ke’s words to heart. What three cups of wine are so drunk that they are not bullshit. If they really have this kind of wine, how could they not know?
Cheng Chumo relied on his close relationship with Du He, so he walked out, and while walking, he shouted: "Erlang doesn't have to follow me. I'll go find Du Chong to ask for wine. It's true. If you have good wine, don't share it with me, Lao Cheng..."
What can Du He say? Just go. A group of shameless things that don’t know how to live or die. It’s better to drink them to death.
Cheng Chumo left, never returning again. After a while, the playboys were a little impatient and two more jumped out, one Qin Huaiyu and the other Liu Renshi, both of whom were close to Du He.
The two of them jumped out, and under the instigation of the playboys, they left Mingde Hall, found their horses from outside the palace, and went straight to the Du family.
