Chapter 44 A Different Kind of Soju

As Song Yi announced the opening of the Zuixian Building, many people who were ready to try it walked into the Zuixian Building with all kinds of concerns, Zhen Qian also stood up, dropped a dozen pennies and walked in with Wang You and Qin Meng in the crowd.

Song Yi saw the three Zhen Qian in the crowd, his eyes only stayed for a moment, and then he greeted the guests.

Zhen Qian and the three of them walked into the first floor, found a secluded corner and sat down, and a shopkeeper walked up, saying with a usual face: "If you want to eat something, please take a look at the menu first", and handed over a wooden board, on which twenty or thirty dishes were written in black and white, Zhen Qian pretended to look at it a few times and said, "Didn't you say that there are free snacks?" Give me some ......".

"Okay! Guest, please wait! The shopkeeper turned around and left, and went over to greet the other guests.

Zhen Qian's eyes swept over the people around him, and saw that most of them were like him, and asked for some free snacks, but unfortunately the number of free snacks was not much, and several guests immediately began to complain, shouting that the number of snacks was too small, and there were more!

The shopkeeper immediately pointed to the notice posted on the wall, neither humble nor arrogant: "A few guest officials don't know, today's dim sum is indeed free of charge, but the quantity is not much, if all of them are given to you, other guests will not be able to taste it, so the store can only provide a four-color dim sum for each table, if you think the taste is not bad, order other dishes, the store will also give a four-color dim sum ......."

Most guests can reasonably accept the fact that after all, they are not prepared to lose money when they open their doors to do business, and it is already very good to be able to send a four-color dim sum, and it is difficult to make other requests.

It's a pity that not everyone thinks like this, obviously someone wants to make a fuss about this matter, and the table slammed down, attracting the attention of everyone in the store, "What do you say, is this how you greet customers?" Ladies and gentlemen, this shop just said that it would serve dim sum for free, and it won't admit it when you turn around......."

There is a saying that people who are not afraid of big things when they see the excitement, and people who still have a little scruple also coaxed when they heard it, "That's it, isn't it just a free snack?" This restaurant is really stingy......".

Zhen Qian took a look in the direction of the trouble, and saw that the three idlers had already grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper, and they were about to beat people if they didn't agree with each other.

Qin Meng rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up and said, "Father-in-law, these people seem to be here to make trouble?" Why don't you let me handle it? ”

Zhen Qian slapped Qin Meng on the head angrily, "You go up and prepare to beat people, then the restaurant will be really lively today, don't you know how to use other methods?" ”

Wang You finally found a chance to count Qin Meng, the two of them have been together these days, if it weren't for Zhen Qian's bullet pressure, I'm afraid they would have to fight each other, "I know how to fight and kill with my brain, and I have lost the face of the scholar, why are you still not convinced, do you want to do it with me again?" ”

Qin Meng is clever and clever, but when it comes to quarreling with his mouth, the three Qin Meng are not Wang You's opponents, "Who do you say is full of muddy, try it again!" ”

"That's it! Shut up for me, Liang Er in the class room is here? ”

With short hands and soft mouths, after Liang Er knew that the Zhen family was behind this restaurant, he ran to Zuixianlou more often, and today is a good day for Zuixianlou to open, so he naturally brought a few helpers to help.

"Stop! Black dog, do you want to make trouble on my territory today, the thirty-pound flail in the county government has not been used for a long time, do you want to taste it? ”

The idler who was turned into a black dog by Liang Er, when he saw Liang Er walking in at the door, he immediately changed to another flattering face, "It turned out that Liang Ye came, the kid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the big water washed the Longwang Temple family and didn't recognize the family, how dare the kid spread wild on your old man's territory, just come over today to see a lively scene, just mix some food, if you don't like the kid, I'll get out!" ”

Liang Er reluctantly said: "Listen to me, you dare to step into this restaurant in the future, be careful of your dog's legs!" ”

Seeing Liang Er's domineering face, the few people who wanted to follow the coax immediately quietly shrank their necks, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with them, and lowered their heads to eat the snacks in front of them.

Song Yi turned from behind the counter and asked Liang Er to sit down, Liang Er's eyes swept around the store and fell on Zhen Qian, and immediately asked him to sit down, and he ran in front of Zhen Qian, his face became respectful: "Zhen Lang is also here, the kid didn't see Zhen Lang ...... just now."

Seeing Liang Er in front of him like this, Zhen Qian said in a low voice: "So many people, sit down and talk?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It was me who almost ruined Zhen Lang's big deal", Liang Er immediately sat down next to Zhen Qian, half of his ass fell on the chair, as nervous as a little daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.

I don't seem to be so fierce, Zhen Qian, who is a fox and a fake tiger, can't help but sneer secretly, it feels really good to pull the tiger skin, when can I get to this point without relying on my family's strength, this is the result I want.

"In the future, Liang Bantou will help me pay more attention to the Drunken Immortal Building, it seems that there are a lot of people with backgrounds here today, I'm afraid they are here to inquire about the news of the Drunken Immortal Building?"

Liang Er's eyes were vicious, and with a sweep of his eyes, he found a few characters whose faces were not too raw, and said in a low voice: "It's the guys from several restaurants around, and the shopkeeper of a wine shop, I'm afraid these people are not good?" ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't come to make trouble, open the door to do business, peers are enemies, and you can't expect others to be kind to you and make money!"

"What Zhen Lang said is, I think these people are just coming to see it, and they won't get into trouble!" After speaking, he arched his hand towards Zhen Qian, retreated to his table and pretended to order a few plates of snacks, secretly observing the surrounding movements.

When Zhen Qian's gaze swept over the door, the light at the door dimmed, and several soldiers blocked the door tightly, shouting: "Shopkeeper!" Serve a few pots of good wine, and then put a few plates of good dishes, and today I will entertain my colleagues in the army ......."

The shopkeeper on the side hurriedly stepped forward, and when he heard the military man say that he wanted wine and food, he immediately smiled and said, "Is the guest officer sitting downstairs or going to the private room upstairs?" ”

The officer headed by the officer opened a pair of tiger eyes, and his beard was stuck in his temples like a steel needle, and his fierce face was revealed at a glance, and he pushed away the shopkeeper who was blocking in front of him and said: "What a fart room, it's downstairs, leave after eating!" ”

The shopkeeper responded as usual, where he dared to provoke these fierce men, and hurriedly handed over the menu in his hand, who knew that the military man glanced at the menu above, and smashed the wooden menu on the head of the shopkeeper with a "snap", and scolded and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't know how to read, what do you do with these for Lao Tzu, hurry up and serve the wine!" ”

Zhen Qian's face was a little unbearable, and then he thought that the recognition rate in the Tang Dynasty was not high, and the menu he carefully prepared was flattering and thrown to the blind, no wonder some people took the menu in their hands, and the expression on their faces was so rich, it turned out that they were not thoughtful.

The shopkeeper retreated, and muttered a few words to Song Yi, Zhen Qian didn't expect this kind of thing, but Song Yi, who has been running a small restaurant for more than ten years, has rich experience, and immediately reacted, and made people hurriedly serve a few plates of dishes, full of meat, and there was not a plate of vegetables.

At this time, a few more people walked in at the door, with a sharp nose, brown eyes, curly hair, a burly figure, and a mouth with a thick Hu Yin said: "Shopkeeper!" A private room, three pots of the best wine, and a few pots of exquisite side dishes! ”

The shopkeeper on the side happily led the three Hu people upstairs, and when he went downstairs, he had a few more copper coins in his hand.

As soon as his eyes on the first floor were diverted from the bodies of several Hu people, a middle-aged man in a gray robe on the table next to him slapped the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said with disdain in his tone: "Is this the wine you sell in the Drunken Immortal Building?" Isn't it mixed with water, doesn't it mean that the shochu here is extremely spicy? I don't think it's worth the name! ”

The middle-aged man who came with him also sneered: "But so, it even said that three steps down, I think it's true that three steps don't fall!" ”

Song Yi immediately ran over, and said with a warm smile on his face: "A few guest officers misunderstood, what you just drank was not the drunken immortal brew of our store, the drunken immortal brew of our store is divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the degree, the inferior degree is the highest, but the price is the lowest, the highest degree of the upper grade, but the price is the highest, I don't know if a few guest officers want to come to a pot to taste!" ”

When the middle-aged man heard that what he had just drunk was not soju drunken immortal brew, but ordinary wine, his face immediately became a little unbearable, obviously he didn't inquire clearly before coming to Zuixianlou, "Come to two pots of the best drunken immortal brew, I want to taste the best wine in your drunken immortal building!" ”

The companions around looked at each other, and there were some sneering words beside them, "I haven't drunk the drunken immortal brew of the Drunken Immortal Building, no wonder I have such a big breath?" ”

The shopkeeper immediately brought four pots of the most expensive soju, and he didn't forget to shout: "Two pots of high-grade drunken immortal brew, buy one get one free, please use it slowly, be careful of the strength of the wine, our small shop also prepared a sobering soup for the guest officer?" ”

Isn't that swearing?

A bucket of wine in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to three or four catties in later generations, roughly equivalent to three bottles of beer, but this premise is the low-alcohol wine in the Tang Dynasty, and the wine sold in Zuixianlou is sold according to one pot at a time, each pot is equivalent to about one and a half catties in later generations, the quantity is much less, but the degree is much higher, and it is definitely not something that a normal person can drink.

But the middle-aged man obviously didn't know the situation, and when he saw that there was not much wine in the pot, even the wine glass provided was much smaller than usual, and he wanted to use the topic to play, but when he saw that the person who came with him just took a sip, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "What a strong wine!" ”

At this time, the middle-aged man did not dare to speak easily, and immediately poured himself a full glass, as soon as the wine glass was sent to his mouth, a strong smell of wine passed down the nasal cavity into the brain, and his brows were also wrinkled, and there were many eyes around him staring at the wine glass in his hand waiting to see the joke, gritting his teeth and pouring the wine in the cup into his mouth, his face was hot like a fire, "Spicy ......!" ”

"Da Lang, a few of them seem to be the shopkeeper of the wine shop that Liang Bantou said!"

PS: How much was a bucket in the Tang Dynasty, I checked the information and found that the bucket was used in different places in the Tang Dynasty and the size was different, if it was a container for wine, a bucket was about five or six catties.
