When he saw this name, Ouyang Fadeng immediately understood it, because although he had never seen it before, Wang Anshi's name was well known to him. According to legend, in addition to his behavior as a sage, his greatest external characteristic is that
Extremely unkempt in life.
It is said that he would go for a long time without changing his clothes, washing his face, gargling his mouth, or taking a shower. His robes were stained with soup, oil, sweat and other stains. His face could no longer distinguish its original color.
, you can smell the strong body odor when you get closer...
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Anshi already had a very high official reputation and literary reputation. In ordinary people, this kind of slovenliness would definitely be intolerable, but it added to his charm. The scholar-bureaucrats also regarded not being able to get to know Wang Anshi as the biggest problem.
It's a pity... People generally believe that since he is an expert, he cannot be held to ordinary people's standards.
Although Ouyang Fa didn't understand, if he spent a little effort to wash his hair and change his clothes, he would be able to delay becoming a sage? But how could he dare to be disrespectful to the famous Master Wang and invite him in quickly?
"Jie Fu!" As soon as Wang Anshi entered, Ouyang Xiu saw him and stood up happily to greet him and said, "I know you will definitely come!" After that, he loudly introduced to everyone: "This is the famous Wang Anshi!"
of pride.
However, the guest exclaimed with admiration: "It's just Mr. Ouyang's face..." It turns out that Wang Anshi is notoriously unsociable and does not socialize. Even official banquets can be ignored, let alone such a private banquet. As a result
Even Wang Anshi has been in the capital for more than half a year. Except for those who have official dealings with him, most people only hear his name but never see him.
"It's not my face." Ouyang Xiu said with a smile and his beard: "Jiefu and Zigu are close friends from the same hometown, so we can't help but give him face." Everyone followed suit and paid warm greetings to Wang Anshi.
Mei Yaochen didn't mind Wang Anshi's taste, so he grabbed his arm and stammered to Ouyang Xiu: "Drunkard man, you have me, you have me, me, me, we can rest in peace..." He spoke with a bit of tongue.
Big, it turns out he was drunk.
Why did this old gentleman get drunk before the banquet started? Because he saw the wine jar brought by Chen Ke and remembered Ouyang Fa's words. He was really curious and asked him to open a jar and taste it. With Mei Yaochen and Ouyang Xiu's
Because of the relationship, it was absolutely possible to treat Chen Ke as a junior.
"It's not that it hurts you to drink it." Chen Ke said with a smile: "It's just that this wine is very strong and you can't drink it on an empty stomach."
"You underestimated uncle." Mei Yaochen said with a smile: "Back then, I was the prime minister of the Wine Kingdom who could compete with Shi Manqing. I always drank wine as water. Who did you listen to? You can't drink water on an empty stomach!
"His funny words made everyone laugh.
Unable to defeat him, Chen Ke had no choice but to ask someone to bring him a teacup. He lifted the jar and patted off the mud seal. The room was immediately filled with the strong smell of wine.
Everyone came together out of curiosity to see Chen Ke pouring wine into the tea cup. They saw that the wine was colorless and transparent, like water, and not as muddy as the wine they usually drink.
"It looks like water, but the wine tastes really strong." Everyone commented and encouraged Mei Yaochen to try it.
Mei Yaochen was fond of wine, and he had long seen Hunter Xinxi. He picked it up and sniffed it, and said with an intoxicated look: "What a strong smell." He raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp. This was the drinking habit of drunkards in the Song Dynasty. Think about it.
You will know how to drink beer in future generations.
Chen Ke didn't even stop him.
Under the stunned gazes of the Chen brothers, the Zeng brothers and the Su brothers, Mei Yaochen's face turned pale for an instant, then turned red again. He clutched his throat tightly, and his neck was swollen until it was almost as thick as his head...
…
Just when everyone thought they had to call the doctor to take a look, Mei Yaochen's neck gradually recovered, he covered his stomach with both hands, and let out a long breath of alcohol.
"How is this wine?" everyone asked eagerly.
Mei Yaochen looked at them, then at the jar of wine, and suddenly burst into tears and said: "Manqing, Manqing, you died too early!" If you didn't know what was going on, you would definitely be frightened. He said this in his heart
Can alcohol cause madness or something else?
But everyone knows that this is the highest praise for this wine.
Manqing is the Shi Manqing that Mei Yaochen just mentioned. His name is Shi Yannian, and he is the best friend of Mei Yaochen and Ouyang Xiu. This man was upright and talented, and was the most scholar-official in the Song Dynasty with the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. When he was alive, people
Together with Ouyang Xiu and Du Mo, they are called the "three greats"... Ouyang Xiu is a great writer, Du Mo is a great singer, and he is a great drinker.
The 'wine tycoon' naturally has a great capacity for drinking. He once went to Wang's Restaurant in Bianjing with a friend named Liu Qian. They sat down and drank without saying a word. After finishing one jar, he opened another jar and drank for a whole day.
After finishing all the wine in the shop, it was getting dark, and the two of them parted ways without anyone to help them, just like they had nothing to do... As for what will happen after returning home, it is unknown.
This story not only shows that Shi Manqing has a large drinking capacity, but also shows that the wine of this era is really inferior - this is because the technology of distilling wine has not yet been applied. When grain is used to make wine, there are too many impurities and the alcohol content is too high.
Low.
So in this era, before drinking wine, one had to filter it through a mesh sieve and cloth, so it was called sieving wine; so Wu Song could eat eighteen bowls in a row...
Chen Ke naturally knows that high-alcohol wine can be obtained by distillation and purification of low-alcohol wine, but he has never done it before... Because the market in Sichuan is limited, if he invents liquor, he will seize the share of Huangjiao Liquor, so it won't take that much effort.
What to do?
It was when he was treating Liu Yue'e's injury that he realized that liquor was not only wine, but also life-saving alcohol, and then he made up his mind to make it. However, he had no experience. When he memorized medical books in his previous life, he remembered what the "Compendium of Materia Medica" said:
"The method of making liquor is not ancient. The method was invented in the Yuan Dynasty. The method is to put strong wine and grains into a steamer, steam it, and use a vessel to collect Dettol. All sour wine can be steamed and burned." According to this.
The method took some time to figure out.
Later, Li Jian came, and Chen Ke handed over this task to him. After a winter of experiments, he finally found a relatively mature set of distillers. This batch of wine, which had been specially distilled repeatedly, was almost the same as Erguotou.
Already.
Shi Manqing, who is accustomed to drinking low-alcohol wine, drank Erguotou in the same way as rice wine. It would be strange if she didn't get smoke from the throat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mei Yaochen cried to Shi Manqing because Shi Manqing hated the tastelessness of drinking the most in his life. In order to add to the fun of drinking, he created all kinds of incredible drinking scenes, such as hanging his hair with his guests, wearing shackles and shackles, and singing and drinking.
It is called "prison drinking"; or they can climb a tree to drink with guests, which is called "nest drinking"; they also use straw ropes to tie each other up, lying on the ground like a turtle, and just hold your head when you want to drink.
If you stick it out and then retract it after drinking, it's called "turtle drinking".
Such a drunkard eventually died of drinking - not from drunkenness, but from greed. Today's officials loved his talent and advised him to quit drinking. When Shi Manqing heard this, he was so moved that he swore to never drink again.
However, he died of thirst and illness.
Before he died, his family poured him wine and asked the drunkard to finish it before he could go on his way, but he shook his head and refused to drink.
The family members were puzzled, but Mei Yaochen knew his comrades from the Liquor Country, and said: "The reason why he does so many drinking methods is because the wine is too weak, and he needs to add some flavor to it. Now he has finally given up drinking, and he won't drink anymore."
This is something that leaves people unsatisfied.'
If this kind of liquor had come out earlier, Shi Manqing would not have died with regrets...
In the name of remembering his old friends, Mei Yaochen drank one glass after another, tasting this kind of white wine with a strong aroma, mellow taste, long aftertaste, and a fragrance that lingers in the empty cup.
When he saw Wang Anshi, his tongue was already big...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brothers Chen Ke, Song Duanping and Er Su, and several young people were sitting at the same table. The banquet had not started yet, and everyone was chatting easily. He looked at the guests chatting and laughing in the hall, and he was so moved that he wanted to cry...
…Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Che! Six of the eight great families of the Tang and Song dynasties, the Six Families of the Song Dynasty, were gathered in this room. Such a luxurious lineup would never have appeared in this era.
several times.
Why is there no camera? Why is there no video camera?
"Zizhan, you are a master of painting. You must paint today's scene." Let Su Dongpo paint it as a souvenir. It seems to be more meaningful than taking pictures, right?
"It's not good..." This was Su Shi's first visit to the leader of the literary world. He didn't know where to move his hands and feet, so how could he dare to make a mistake?
"Why is it bad? This is a grand event in the world. It would be a sin not to make a picture to record it." Chen Ke suddenly thought that a thousand years later, "The Gathering of the West Garden" painted by Li Gonglin and inscribed by Mi Fu would become worth billions
The U.S. dollar, Japan’s national treasure, is much more valuable to guests now than it was to the West Garden!
Can the Six Scholars of the Su Family compare with the Six Scholars of the Song Dynasty? Can Li Gonglin compare with Su Dongpo? This painting will cost at least two billion U.S. dollars by then! You don’t need to leave anything to your descendants, just keep this painting.
Got it!
Chen Ke, who was caught up in endless lust, was so excited that he immediately called to Ouyang Xiu's seven-year-old son and said: "Monk, please quickly get the pen and ink painting."
Ouyang Bian listened to Chen Ke the most, and immediately ran to the study room, and soon brought his brother's complete set of painting tools.
"Really want to paint?" Under Chen Ke's pressure, Su Shi had no choice but to look up and observe the field, and began to compose the picture in his mind.
Needless to say, as the leader of the literary world and the master of this place, Ouyang Xiu must be the center of the picture, but where has Bachelor Ouyang gone?
After scanning around, he saw that Ouyang Xiu was actually standing in the courtyard, raising his glass and looking at the sky outside, muttering something silently, and then spilling the wine on the ground. After doing this again and again, he handed the wine glass to his eldest son Ouyang Fa and turned around and entered the hall.
I can't go to bed so late, I will get up early tomorrow morning to write. In addition, what I said yesterday was that if I go back to the seventh, I will update the fourth. The result has not come yet... But I looked carefully, and it seems that what I said is ambiguous.
