Volume 2 Tokyo Hua Menglu Chapter 62 Lu Zhishen (II)
"The Sprinkle family is just a wine and meat monk who doesn't abide by the rules and precepts, and there is nothing disrespectful. I don't know what you call this little brother, since you want to make friends with the Sprinkle family, you can't even report your name. Lu Zhishen touched his somewhat messy beard and smiled.
Sun Tu told his name at this time, and at this time, Wu Li had already sent the fried chicken along with the wine and food, but when he put down the tray containing these, the old shopkeeper still had a little doubt and worry in his eyes. Sun Tu saw it, but he just smiled: "It's hard work for the shopkeeper Wu, you can go to the front and get busy." ”
Lu Zhishen ignored the words of the two of them, a pair of bull's eyes had completely fallen on the two golden fried chickens and couldn't pull them out, and he praised again and again: "I heard people say that your Liufangju chicken is very delicious two days ago, I still don't believe it, now just look at its unique appearance, it's not simple." No matter how polite he was, he directly took a chicken and tore out a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Sun Tu politely poured him a cup of jade pot spring and put it in front of the other party. After chewing a few bites of chicken, Lu Zhishen nodded vigorously: "This chicken is really delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tender and juicy, it is the best chicken I have ever eaten in my life." As he spoke, he picked up the glass again, and poured the whole glass into it with a sip.
Sun Tu saw it and poured him a glass of wine, and then pointed to a few other stir-fried dishes: "The master also tastes these dishes, which are also difficult to eat elsewhere in Tokyo City." ”
Lu Zhishen drank wine while picking up vegetables, and said: "Brother Sun, since you want to make a friend of the Sprinkle family, this title has to be changed, what master really sounds harsh, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Brother Lu." ”
"What Brother Lu said is that the younger brother is too rigid, and I will punish myself." Sun Tu reacted very quickly, changed his words immediately, and at the same time raised his glass to touch it. After watching Lu Zhishen eat a whole fried chicken like a whirlwind and clouds, only a pile of bones remained, he asked: "Brother Lu thinks that the wine and food in my store are still appetizing?" If you really have the right appetite, you can just come over in the future, and I will let people entertain you. ”
Lu Zhishen is not a person who is restrained, and he has been very uncomfortable recently because he is trapped in Xiangguo Temple and eats vegetarian dishes, and when he heard this, he happily said: "This is the best, then the Sprinkle family will accept you." After a pause, he said with some regret: "The meat and vegetables you have here are really good, but this wine is a little weak after all, and I don't have much energy to eat." ”
When Sun Tu heard this, he said: "Brother Lu is really massive, if you really want to eat spirits, the younger brother has it." I'm just afraid that you will be blamed by the supervising monks of Xiangguo Temple when you go back after you get drunk. ”
"You just have to rest assured, they can't control the Sprinkle family, not to mention that the Sprinkle family lives in the vegetable garden at the back, and they won't go over when they are idle. If there is good wine, you just have to come up. ”
"Then please ask Brother Lu to wait here for a while, and I'll go back as soon as I go." Sun Tu got up and walked out as he spoke. When he reached the outer corner, his figure suddenly disappeared. A moment later, when he reappeared, he had five more bottles of Erguotou in his hand, which were the spirits taken from the previously open No. 5 warehouse. Although these two pots are not good wine in later generations, they are very famous by virtue of their strength, and they can just satisfy a rough man like Lu Zhishen.
After finding a wine bottle from the side and pouring all the two-pot heads in the glass bottles, Sun Tucai took the wine and re-entered the house. At this time, Lu Zhishen had already eaten the second fried chicken almost completely, and even the jade pot spring was drunk by him for most of it. Seeing Sun Tu coming in, he smiled and said, "Is your wine really strong enough?" ”
"Brother Lu, you will know as soon as you taste it." Sun Tu is very confident. If a 52-degree strong liquor can't be considered strong, then you can only give him alcohol.
Lu Zhishen took the wine bottle with some suspicion, filled a glass for himself, and his expression changed slightly when he was about to drink it: "Well, this wine is really interesting." "But I already smelled the fragrance of the second pot. However, he didn't hesitate at all, and still drank the full glass of wine in one gulp like drinking the jade pot before. Then, the whole person was stunned, his black face turned red, and after he barely swallowed the wine, he coughed violently, and even tears were coughed out by him.
Just after Sun Tu asked him about the situation with concern, Lu Zhishen stopped coughing, and then raised his thumb with a surprised face and said, "Good wine, good wine!" The Sprinklers had never eaten such spirits......" he coughed again.
Although this wine is strong, it is right for his appetite, and when his throat is more comfortable, Lu Zhishen hurriedly filled himself with a glass again, and this time he was much more careful when he drank it again, but he took a small sip, even his eyes narrowed, and he looked like he was enjoying it: "It's really good wine, this is the wine for real men." By the way, Brother Sun, is this how you make this wine? ”
"This is my Sun family's secret recipe, so ......" Sun Tu showed a embarrassed expression.
Seeing this, Lu Zhishen stopped asking. After drinking a few more glasses of spirits, the already bold Lu Zhishen's conversation box was completely opened, and he asked about Sun Tu's identity. In this regard, Sun Tu did not mean to hide it, so he briefly recounted his previous experience, and listened to Lu Zhishen's exclamation: "The elder brother is really very human, and the family admires it." But there is one point, I can't agree with it, you have this ability, where in the world can't go, why bother living in that Tong Guan's house? You don't know how bad his reputation is, do you? "That's a lot of talking.
"The younger brother naturally knows what's at stake, but I think this kind of subsection is really nothing compared to the big things I have planned." Sun Tu has his own opinions.
"What's the big deal? Be an official? ”
"Being an official is a means, not an end. What I want to do is do what I can for the people of this world. Sun Tu Zhengse said. In fact, he only thought that he could have a good background, so he didn't have to be bullied like before, but in front of a hero like Lu Zhishen, some things still had to be said higher.
"I don't see it that way. Nowadays, traitors in the court are in charge, how can there be people who serve the country and the people, and if you go to become an official, you will only be in the same stream with them. ”
"If it were ordinary people, it would naturally be like this, but I thought that those who really had a heart would not be affected by them. What's more, if you really want to help the people of the world, is there anything better than being an official? For example, Brother Lu, if you are uneven among the people, you will only help dozens of people at most, but if you are an official and have power in your hands, as long as you have the heart, you can save hundreds of people from suffering, or even more. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Tu took the opportunity to ask: "Seeing Brother Lu talking like this, isn't it possible that he was also in the government before?" ”
"To tell you the truth, the Sprinkle family was the governor of Weizhou Jingluo Mansion two years ago, under the public account of the small species. It was only because of the death lawsuit that he became a monk. ”
Sun Tu naturally knew about his life, but he still asked: "Oh, this is what happened?" ”
Lu Zhishen, who was drunk, did not hide it, so he told him how he was uneven, killed Zheng Tu in Guanxi with three punches, and what happened along the way, and Sun Tu also let out a sigh in a timely manner, calling him a hero.
In the end, Lu Zhishen snorted again: "Actually, the Sprinkle family is not dissatisfied with the government because of their own experience, but because they have seen all kinds of things suffered by the small race Xianggong before, they feel that there is a big problem in the Great Song Dynasty now." I think that the small breed of Xianggong, the big seed Xianggong, and the old breed Taiwei are all my big Song Dongliang, and how many tough battles I fought with the Western Xia thieves to keep my northwest land. But as a result, he only suffered all kinds of criticism and criticism from the imperial court. And all they can do is swallow their anger and make compromises. The imperial court sent a guy with no eggs to Weizhou, and the little breed had to treat him like he was serving Lao Tzu, they made mistakes, and we can't hold them accountable, I really can't see it! ”
"I see, that's why Brother Lu has the heart to stay away from officialdom." Sun Tu nodded, and then said, "But have you thought about it, what is the use of such an escape?" Since there is injustice, our generation should think about the chaos and set things right, and only in the officialdom can we have the opportunity to change all this. ”
Lu Zhishen is by no means a simple-minded reckless man, otherwise he would not be valued by a party strategy. Although I was a little drunk at the moment, after hearing Sun Tu's words, my expression became solemn: "What you said also makes some sense, so it seems that I think things are simple." ”
"Brother Lu is serious, this is just some of my shallow opinions." Sun Tu hurriedly humbled himself.
"Your view is not shallow, and those who can have this vision and mind in the world are all powerful. It's worth it for me to make you a friend today. Lu Zhishen's eyes flashed, this time he really regarded Sun Tu as his friend!
