There is a large wine shop in the north of Taiyuan City, covering an area of about five acres, which is also located outside the Taipei City. The wine shop is called Yipinjijiu. It has a five-story building and is the largest and most famous wine shop in Taiyuan City.
This winery is the property of the Wang family in Taiyuan. The Wang family has two winery in Taiyuan, one is the Jinshi restaurant near the Imperial College, and the other is this winery.
Both restaurants have been booming in business all year round, bringing a lot of profits to the Wang family. The Wang family is the number one disciple in northern Jin, with old officials all over the officialdom in Hedong. For such a family with a large family, the profits of close to the two restaurants are obviously impossible.
maintain.
The Wang family also has a land area of dozens of hectares, all of which are fertile land. There are more than a dozen shops in Taipei City, doing large-scale businesses.
The farm, shop and tavern are all run by the children of the Wang family. Among them, the son of the Wang family who is responsible for running two taverns is called Wang Jizhong. He is the son of Wang Su, the second-ranked figure in the Wang family. Last year, Wang Jizhong participated in the imperial examination and failed.
He had no intention of participating in the imperial examination again, so his father Wang Su told the boss Wang Xu to find a wealthy man who runs a restaurant for him.
Although Wang Jizhong was not very good at studying, he was very active in running a restaurant. With his own management, the two big restaurants were done well and their business became more prosperous.
At noon that day, Yipin Ijiji Restaurant was still doing a prosperous business. A steady stream of drinkers arrived from all directions, filling the five floors of the restaurant, and chatting in the restaurant was extremely lively.
Two guests walked in front of the restaurant gate. One of them looked like a pot bottom, wearing a silk green robe and a green flat scarf, looking like a big chafer, and the other had a long face and a cold face.
, serious.
"I said Lao Luo, I heard that this restaurant has a hot business, and I have never been there. Today I will treat you, so let's have a few drinks!"
This big grasshopper wearing a green flat scarf is naturally Cheng Yaojin. The long-faced companion who came to drink with him was Luo Shixin.
The two of them returned to Taiyuan City with Yang Yuanqing. The army was on vacation for one month. Cheng Yaojin had no military discipline constraints and began to drink fine wine, which relieved his drinking addiction for several months.
Today he was bored drinking alone, so he specially pulled Luo Shixin out to accompany him to drink with him. Cheng Yaojin took Luo Shixin to approach the door of the restaurant. A shop clerk had already greeted him with a smile on his face. "Welcome to the two guests to visit the store!"
"Is there still a seat?" Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly.
The shopkeeper's eyes were extremely vicious. He saw that the two of them were here for the first time in the restaurant, so he smiled and said, "The two men came here just by chance. Today, the restaurant was almost full, and there were only a few seats on the first floor.
Can you please ask the two to sit on the first floor?”
It doesn't matter how many floors he sits on. He and Luo Shixin walked into the gate and followed the guy to a few tables. There were people in front of the tables. In fact, they were sitting on the table with others, so they didn't speak too much.
Convenient.
Luo Shixin frowned and asked, "We want a single seat, and we don't want to sit with others. Is there a seat upstairs?"
The guy shook his head, "There are only these empty seats, and there are no seats upstairs."
Luo Shixin had no choice but to say to Cheng Yaojin: "It is not convenient to talk here. Let's change one!"
Cheng Yaojin didn't like to play tables with others. He was about to agree, but two more guests came in. When he entered the door, he asked with a smile: "Is there any seat?"
The shop assistant became more attentive and smiled, "It turned out to be the shopkeeper Gao and the shopkeeper Ma. There is a seat and a seat. Please ask two people upstairs!"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned at first, then furious, pinched the back of his friend's neck and pulled him over, staring at him with his eyes as big as a copper bell and cursing: "Are you a beggar? You want me to sit on the first floor.
Damn it's not even as good as a bullshit businessman."
Luo Shixin saw that the guy was pinched and his tongue was spit out, so he quickly pulled Cheng Yaojin's hand away. The guy then took a breath and took two steps back and said in horror: "The third floor is for the old drinkers to sit on. This is our store.
Rules: You two are new customers, you can only sit on the first and second floors, but the second floor is really full..."
Before he could finish his words, Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, "I'm going to sit on the third floor. If you don't sit on me, I'll burn your bird building."
Seeing that he was fierce, the guy had no choice but to take them upstairs. The second floor was indeed full, and he kept going up to the third floor. The third floor was basically half full, and there were four or five empty seats. Cheng Yaojin saw that he was by the window at a glance.
There is a bed for two people, but there is no one, and the seat is quite good.
He walked straight over, but saw a wooden sign on the table with the words 'Han Dadong'. Cheng Yaojin cursed, "Damn it, the spirit signs are not placed at home, but they are placed everywhere, which is unlucky!
”
He picked up the wooden sign, threw it out the window, and sat down casually. The guy bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong, so he could not say anything, so he had to go forward and said, "What do you want to eat?"
"Any dozen dishes are available, the key is wine. What good wine do you have here?"
"Report to both of you, the shop is full of fruit wine, and the best one is Italian Rose Wine."
The Sui Dynasty strictly prohibited grain brewing. Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin knew it and said, "Then let's take two pots of good pineapple wine."
"Customer wait, the wine will arrive soon!"
After a while, the two men served a few plates of cold dishes and two pots of wine. Cheng Yaojin picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Luo Shixin, sighed and said, "My wife apologized for not giving birth to a son, and agreed to marry me.
Fang concubine, Shixin, do you think Youniang is possible to be my concubine?"
Luo Shixin sneered, "He is a married woman, so you will lose your heart!"
"A married woman is not afraid. Her husband is weak and sick. At worst, I can kill him. The key is Youniang. Will she be my second wife?"
Seeing that he was delusional all day long, Luo Shixin couldn't help but curse: "You black-faced toad, you want to eat swan meat all day long. Pei You is the daughter of the Pei family and the daughter-in-law of Cui family in Qinghe. You actually want to accept someone else.
For the second bedroom, who do you think you are, don’t dream.”
Cheng Yaojin was a little sad, and he knew there was no hope. After a while, he asked again: "Tell me about you! When will you get married with the stitch? I am a matchmaker, and I can't lose the money for the gift I give me."
Luo Shixin drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "After a while, it will be a matter of time before marriage. I am afraid that marrying her will affect the court's attack on Dou Jiande, so I have been unable to make up my mind."
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black silk robe walked up to the third floor, accompanied by several entourages, and smiled at the friend: "Come three bottles of drunken bone fragrance."
The three words "Drunk Bone Fragrance" made Cheng Yaojin stunned. He knew that this kind of wine was a good rice wine. He hadn't drunk it for a long time. After hearing what the waiter said, he suddenly became anxious.
.
"Come here!" Cheng Yaojin yelled at the table.
A guy hurried forward, "What are the instructions of this grandfather?"
Cheng Yaojin took out a fifty taels of gold and slapped it hard on the table, "I'm going to have two bottles of Drunken Bone Scent!"
The guy hadn't seen such a large ingot of gold before, his eyes suddenly shook, and he swallowed for a while and said, "Grandma is waiting, I'll get it for you!"
The guy ran away and brought two bottles of wine in a moment. Cheng Yaojin grabbed the bottle, pulled out the stopper, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. It turned out to be a good rice wine.
He immediately smiled and cursed, "Damn, didn't you say there was only fruit wine? What is this?"
The guy's face was a little unnatural, and he quickly explained in a low voice: "To be honest, our rice wine is usually only sold to old customers. Because we have never been to the future, we have offended you a little. I'm sorry!"
Cheng Yaojin poured two glasses of wine, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, smacked his lips, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What a good wine! It's so fucking good."
Luo Shixin also took a sip, frowned, and asked the guy, "Didn't it be prohibited to use grain to make wine? Why do you dare to sell rice wine in your store?"
The guy waved his hand quickly, "To be honest, you two said that this wine was transported from Guanzhong, not our own brew, so it is not illegal. Please drink it with confidence!"
He said, staring at the gold on the table again, and swallowed again. Cheng Yaojin put the gold into his arms, took out two copper coins, threw it on the table, and jingled it, "This
It's a reward for you."
The guy's face was stretched out. He had never seen such a stingy drinker. He violated the rules and gave them rice wine, but he only received two cents. He put the money in his arms with a calm face and turned around.
However, Cheng Yaojin pretended that he hadn't seen anything and just drank his rice wine comfortably. Luo Shixin pulled him, leaned over and whispered: "Old Cheng, why do I feel that there is strangeness everywhere in this tavern?"
Luo Shixin was a person who was interested. From the beginning, the guys kept secret from them, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Now he suddenly found that the wine shop actually sold rice wine. Could this be the reason why its business is booming?
Cheng Yaojin glanced at him and curled his lips and said, "I said you are the most famous Yipin Iji Restaurant in Taiyuan. Do you think it is a black store?"
"No! I don't mean that. I think they dare to sell rice wine publicly. There is something wrong with it!"
Cheng Yaojin drank the wine with a squeak, picked up another chopstick dish, and chewed it heavily, while vaguely: "What's the problem? This is the wine from Guanzhong, and there is no illegal ban on brewing.
You're thinking too much."
Luo Shixin shook his head, "As far as I know, it is not that easy to get wine from Guanzhong. The road was checked very strictly, and the general manager did not allow grain and wine to enter the country at all, but it was not announced."
"Oh! Don't be careless."
Cheng Yaojin said impatiently: "No wonder the stun girl wanted to run away at the beginning. It was really boring to live with you. She was worried about the country and the people all day long. Isn't it good to have a place to drink rice wine? You have to be so worried.
What!"
Luo Shixin smiled bitterly, and he stopped talking. The two of them drank for an hour. Cheng Yaojin drank ten bottles of wine before he was satisfied. He paid the bill and burped, saying, "I drank happily today,
We'll come again tomorrow."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Luo Shixin took advantage of the situation and hid half a bottle of unfinished wine in his arms.
