The second time selling alcohol and meeting a bully
The next day, when Liu Ming woke up, his family members had prepared face wash. When Liu Ming was about to brush his teeth and wash his face, he thought about where to find a toothbrush and toothpaste. He had to rinse his mouth and wash it randomly. He walked out of the house.
I stretched out in front of the morning sun and felt a little bloated. I quickly looked for someone to find out where the hut was. When I found out, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Who said that modern people were like fish in water in ancient times and enjoyed endless blessings. There was no good food, no good food.
Drinking, no electricity, no Internet access, no entertainment facilities, and now there are no latrines or toilet paper, what a life it is for modern people. The rich man in "Party A and Party B" went to the valley and turned into a weasel in two months.
It feels like. It turns out that his family just told him that there is no latrine at all. The toilet behind the screen in the corner of each house is for people's convenience. After it is convenient, use a repaired bamboo or wooden skewer to scrape it. That thing is like eating ice cream in modern times.
The flat wood chips used are almost the same. Big families in the city have thatched houses, but they are just toilets in the reed sheds, for servants and guests. In the village, they usually poop in their own fields. Paper is also available, and Cai Hou
Paper is famous, but it was only used by nobles at that time. Ordinary scholars still used wooden slips and bamboo slips to wipe their butts? Don’t even think about it. (No wonder there was no family planning in ancient times. People plowed at sunrise and rested at sunset.
No, why don’t you go to the kang to have a baby?)
Liu Minghaolai had finished dressing up and taking care of himself. He came to the hall with his family and saw A Niu already waiting there. "Good morning, sir." A Niu bowed and said.
Liu Ming hurriedly helped him, "Where did you say this? You can call me Liu Ming or A Ming, and you can also bow to me. Brother Aniu must never do this again in the future, I can't bear it."
"I can bear it, I can bear it." A Niu said repeatedly: "I didn't know before that my husband was a disciple of an immortal. It's not strange if I didn't know. Now I have seen an immortal car and tasted an immortal wine. It can be seen that my teacher must be an immortal."
There is no doubt that if a villain no longer knows etiquette, he should not be punished by God."
When the two were entangled, a family member had already served tea. Liu Ming said he was not convinced by Ah Niu, so he had no choice but to just eat. He thought: The ancients were stubborn.
The two of them had finished their meal and chatted for a while before the village chief, Uncle Zhang, came to the hall. As soon as he came in, Uncle Zhang held up his hands and said, "I drank too much yesterday and kept you waiting for a long time. I forgive you, I forgive you."
Liu Ming and A Niu quickly stood up and said, "How dare you, how dare you. We have just arrived."
The ceremony was completed and everyone took their seats.
"Damn, I have to kneel again. I will definitely make two chairs when I get the chance, one to sit on and one to watch." When Liu Ming was muttering to himself, the village chief took out a letter and handed it to Liu Ming and said: "This letter is
You can submit it to the Prime Minister of Anxi County, and you will be my guarantor."
Before Liu Ming could answer, he ordered his family to take a bundle and hand it to Liu Ming. He said, "Sir, when he first came to the world, he had no vulgar things. Here is a set of clothes and a hat, and a hundred taels of broken silver, so that he can move well." Then he made a fuss.
Liu Ming stopped his hand to answer. He turned to A Niu and said: "A Niu, sir, there is no one to take care of you for the first time in this world. Are you willing to follow me and stand by my side?"
"Aniu is willing, Aniu is willing." Aniu said repeatedly.
"Is this okay? Uncle Zhang, if you give me money, I won't be ashamed to accept it. How can I ask Brother A Niu to serve me? And..." When Liu Minggang said this, he was stopped by the village chief.
"Sir, be careful, sir, but you are a disciple of the immortal." When the village chief Zhang Bo said this, seeing Liu Ming wanting to refute again, he hurriedly added: "Even if you are not a disciple of the immortal, my master can build an immortal chariot and an immortal brew."
He must be an expert!" Seeing that Liu Ming had nothing to say, he said proudly: "In the past, Jiang Shang, Duke of Zhou, learned from an immortal master, and his master ordered him to return to the mortal world, where he preserved the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years and established himself as an unrivaled king
His meritorious deeds. Now that Mr. Master is ordered to go down the mountain, it must be a sign of the green snake coiling around the beam and the hen turning into a male. He has made meritorious deeds for eternity and passed down the good name through the ages. Such a good opportunity, the little old man should have gone to follow the tail wing, but his years
Already high, I am afraid that I will be a burden to my husband, so I dare not beg for help. A Niu is a member of the Zhang clan. Both his parents died when he was young, and he was raised by the young man. He can read and digit, and has some physical strength in his arms.
I have been doing shopping in the village for many years, and there is no mistake. If I can follow my husband, I cannot say that I will make great contributions to him, but I will be able to serve tea and pour water with ease. In the future, I will be able to shine on my Zhang family. Mr. Wanwang will take him in."
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to the ground.
"Yes. A Niu is willing to follow you and serve you. Please take him in." A Niu knelt down in front of Liu Ming and said loudly. At the same time, he thought to himself: The apprentice of the immortal will not admit that his master is an immortal and a liar.
It's different to say that you are a disciple of an immortal. But after seeing the fairy car and drinking the immortal wine, even a fool will know that your master is an immortal. Will the immortal accept apprentices at will? The apprentices accepted by the immortal are either to guide him to become an immortal, or to guide him to become an immortal.
In order for him to establish a career in the world. Now I want him to come out of the mountain. It is clear that I want him to establish a career. If I follow him, I will honor my ancestors and make my wife a wife. I have never missed what the village chief said. Even if I am wrong,
His master can make fairy chariots and fairy wine. Following him is still popular and spicy.
At this time, Liu Ming was helping Zhang Bo and A Niu, and he was in a hurry. Although he didn't know what the two of them were thinking, he saw that they were extremely sincere, and since he was new here, he also needed someone to discuss and give advice, and he wanted to just give him some advice.
From now on, he treats A Niu as his brother, and A Niu will definitely make a fortune by following him. After struggling with the two for a while, he agreed.
When the village chief saw that Liu Ming had agreed, Lao Huai was greatly relieved. He said happily: "A Niu was named Fang when he entered Mongolia. Now I would like to ask you to give me a name, Zhang Menting."
Liu Ming was shocked when he heard this: He had heard that the ancients had a word for it, but how could he know it? He thought to himself: Aniu is honest, honest, and virtuous. What should I call it? A flash in his mind opened his mouth and said, "It's called Houde."
Bar."
"Good! The blessings are profound and the merits are widespread." After the village chief praised him, he turned to A Niu and said: "A Niu, in the future, you must encourage yourself to follow Mr.
It’s a loss of face for me, Mrs. Zhang, and a ruin for my husband’s reputation.”
"I have written it down." A Niu said loudly. He turned around and said to Liu Ming: "Thank you, Master, for giving me the name. From now on, I will be called Zhang Fang and Zhang Houde." After saying this, he looked surprised and inexplicable.
Liu Ming felt a chill. He quickly said: "Brother A Niu, you just call me master. You and I are brothers."
"No, no. It's the past. Now that I have the virtue to follow my husband, I should call him this way, so it's reasonable." Uncle Zhang interjected from the side.
"That's right, that's right. You have to be very virtuous to enter the master's family, and you don't dare to ruin the family law." Hou De (A Niu was called Hou De from now on) continued.
In the end, Liu Ming refused to agree. The two sides compromised. Liu Ming called A Niu Houde, and Houde called Liu Ming son.
Liu Ming changed his clothes, took two bottles of Maotai and Houde and set out on the road to Anxi County. (The truck temporarily stayed at the village chief's house for fear of shocking the world.) Entering the county town at noon, Houde led Liu Ming to a hotel where he had finished. Liu Ming asked Houde to
Take yourself to the largest restaurant in the city, firstly to have something to eat, and secondly to look for an opportunity to sell some wine.
"Sir, this is the largest restaurant in Anxi County." Houde led Liu Ming to a restaurant and said.
"Oh, Juyoulou. The name is pretty good. I don't know what it's like. Houde, have you been here before?" Liu Ming looked at the two-story brick and wood structure restaurant in front of him and thought: It's good, although it's not as good as a modern restaurant.
It is tall and gorgeous, but it is more elegant and unique, full of ancient charm.
"Back to the young master, I was just a buyer but I didn't have the money to come here. I only heard people say that this building is the largest in the city, but it was also the most expensive." Houde replied.
"Then the two of us will have a meal here and sell the wine together." After Liu Ming finished speaking, he pulled Houde into the restaurant.
I saw several tables placed in the courtyard inside the building, all of which were full. Liu Ming led Houde to the second floor.
"Please wait, sir!" A waiter stopped the two of them and said, "I'm afraid you two guests are new to our store and don't know our rules."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Liu Ming muttered in his heart: Are there any rules for eating in ancient times? He was showing his timidity again.
The waiter glanced at the clothes of Liu Ming and Liu Ming with disdain and said: "The second floor is where dignitaries and rich squires eat. The prices are incomparable to those downstairs. You two should find a place to eat downstairs."
When Liu Ming heard this, he became angry and said to himself: Isn't this a dog-like look down on others? Liu Ming has been driving cars for many years and has eaten in countless restaurants, how can he stand this? He was about to take action at that time, but suddenly his hands tightened, and when he turned around, he saw
Hou grabbed hold of himself, came closer and whispered: "Sir, it's important to sell wine in exchange for money."
Liu Ming understood it as soon as he heard it. He thought: The shop bullies the customers, and the customers bully the shop. This is even written in some modern restaurants, let alone in ancient times. Although this waiter's words are a bit irritating, the worst he can do is not eat here anymore.
, or selling wine is more important.
Thinking of this, he said: "The man called the shopkeeper over and told him that I had a masterpiece of wine to sell to him."
"My fish and water shield soup, barley meat, and Tiaowan are famous all over the world. My rice wine is known as Shilixiang! It is even famous in Yizhou. Qihui is interested in your wine. If you don't want to have a meal, please invite me.
Come on." The guy said with his lips curled up.
"Stop being so verbose! Call the shopkeeper." Houde shouted from the side.
"What's the fuss about?" an old man wearing a blue shirt and a scarf on his head came out and asked.
"Shopkeeper, there are two people who want to cause trouble. They don't want to eat, they want to sell us a bottle of wine, and they want to meet our boss." The waiter ran to the old man and bowed.
The old man ignored him and said to Liu Ming: "My boss is not here, so I am the shopkeeper of this shop. What do you two do for a living?"
Seeing that the old man was speaking politely, Liu Ming immediately replied: "The two of us came here, short of silver, and wanted to sell a bottle of exquisite wine."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper turned around and said, "Huzi, bring me some wine."
"Here we go." The waiter quickly brought a bowl of wine and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"You two, please drink this wine, and then we can discuss it." The shopkeeper's eyes were full of evil, and he was obviously full of confidence in his wine.
Liu Ming felt angry, took the wine bowl and took a sip. It was indeed much better than what he drank at Uncle Zhang's house, not so sour, and the wine taste was much stronger, but compared with his own Maotai, there was no comparison at that time.
Yeah. He poured the wine away, took out the Maotai from Houdena, poured some into a bowl, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "You should also try my wine."
The shopkeeper's eyebrows stood up when he saw Liu Ming pouring away the wine. He smiled again as he smelled the aroma of wine when Liu Ming opened Moutai. He was intoxicated. When he saw Liu Ming handing him the wine, he quickly took it with both hands, held it up to his nose and drank it.
I sniffed it for a while, then took a long breath and drank it carefully. I was speechless for a while, but there was a crystal light in the corner of my eyes (tears filled my eyes).
When Liu Ming saw it, he thought to himself: Oh, there's another one like Uncle Zhang, so what?
Liu Ming patted the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, how is this wine? Is it good?"
"Good wine, good wine. A thousand pieces of gold is not easy, a thousand pieces of gold is not easy!" the shopkeeper said carelessly. Then he woke up, turned around and said: "Huzi, call the boss quickly, there is good wine." He bowed to Liu Ming and said:
"Two heroes, this wine is too precious and I can't decide. Please come to the inner court later. My boss will be here soon."
Liu Ming and Liu Ming were let into the inner court. Liu Ming didn't care when he arrived. Houde was beside him and was very happy. He thought to himself, "That's it. The things from the Xian family are extraordinary. Once they are taken out, they will be suppressed."
Not long after, a waiter led a thin man in silk and satin. He had thin eyebrows, rat eyes, thin lips, and a pointed chin. When the visitor entered the room, he cupped his hands in front of Liu Ming and said, "I am from this shop.
My boss, Zhang Cheng, didn’t know that the distinguished guest was arriving, so he didn’t welcome him from afar. It’s rude, it’s rude.”
Seeing his polite words, Liu Ming returned the favor.
Zhang Cheng continued: "I heard that your distinguished guest has a bottle of exquisite wine and wants to sell it. Can you let me have a look?"
Liu Mingxin said: I originally wanted to sell you. She replied: "Okay, no problem." He handed Maotai over casually.
Zhang Cheng took the Maotai, looked at it, and asked casually: "I don't know where the distinguished guest lives, and where did he come from?"
"People from Taihang Mountain have just come out of the mountain." Liu Ming replied.
"Who does the distinguished guest want to seek refuge with when he comes here?" Zhang Cheng asked casually, still looking at the wine bottle.
Liu Ming was a little overrated. He thought: I will never stop asking. Then he thought again: Yes, you still need to ask clearly when buying things now. In ancient times, people must have asked more clearly about the origin of things. Thinking of this
He replied: "I have no relatives or friends locally, so I want to start a business selling wine."
Sure enough, Zhang Cheng asked again: "Where does this wine come from? How much more is there?"
Liu Mingxin said: So, let's ask again. But this guy's words were quite sour. He casually replied: "This is a gift from the master of the winery. Because it is difficult to refine, there is only one bottle in the world."
"Who is your master?" Zhang Cheng asked next.
"My master has never mentioned his name, he is just an unknown old man." Liu Ming finished his answer and said in his heart: How much did he pay for it? Judging from the look of the shopkeeper just now, he must have asked Zhang Cheng in such detail.
Just listen to Zhang Cheng say: "Hu Zi, give them a few taels of silver from the cabinet and let them go."
Liu Ming was shocked when he heard it. You heard me right, you are kidding me. Liu Ming thought in his heart and said: "This wine is worth at least a hundred gold. Take it back and I won't sell it."
Zhang Cheng smiled coldly and said, "It's up to you if you don't buy it. Come on, get these two scoundrels out of here."
"Yes!" Hula rushed in from outside the hall with seven or eight strong men.
