Chapter 0005 Meeting Friends with Wine
Li Pengfei looked at the three of them, smiled faintly, and said: "Since the three brothers are all interested, it will be too uninteresting for me to hide the brothers." ”
Saying this, Li Pengfei turned around and went outside, and soon came back with a pot of wine, filled the cups of several people, and said, "Three brothers, try this wine, brother, and see how it goes?" ”
The three of them raised their wine glasses suspiciously, they didn't quite believe that the wine Li Pengfei carried with him was better than the wine brewed by the Black Charcoal family. However, when they saw Li Pengfei drink it first, and showed an expression of enjoyment, and the wine in the cup still wafted out of the strong aroma of wine, they finally couldn't help but be tempted and drank it all with their heads up.
The next moment, the eyes of the three of them were all round, and there were expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Li Pengfei was not surprised by the performance of the three people, he knew better than anyone else about the wine he was carrying. Although his wine cannot be compared with the spirits of later generations, it is not comparable to today's wine. This sake is actually made from koji. Although the quality of the koji is not good, the purity of the sake is still not very high, but it is also in the 40s. For the people of this era, it is simply unimaginable spirits.
The three people here are all wine lovers, and they are hot-blooded men, especially those who love spirits, so they are naturally fascinated by it.
Suddenly, the white-robed young man suddenly realized: "This brother, your wine can't be the legendary Moutai, right?" ”
Li Pengfei was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Little brother also knows Moutai?" ”
Moutai is the wine that Li Pengfei made himself, this product is a little lazy, and he doesn't like to use his brain to think about the name, so he directly moved the name of the national liquor of later generations.
Li Pengfei was a little surprised that this white-robed young man actually knew the name of Moutai. Because the production of this liquor was limited, Li Pengfei decided to let Moutai take the high-quality route, only for the upper class to sell.
It can be said that after almost two years of brewing, among the scholars and heroes of the two states today, if they can't drink Moutai, they will be ridiculed.
The upper class society mentioned here is actually aimed at those real warriors. is like a black charcoal family, although it also has some property, in the words of later generations, it is a small tyrant. But he hadn't heard of this Moutai wine. But the white-robed young man knew, how could this make Li Pengfei not surprised?
"Occasionally, it's said to be an unbelievably strong spirit." The white-robed young man nodded, "I didn't believe it at first, but now when I see it, it really lives up to its reputation!" ”
The black charcoal head said in disbelief: "Is it really that powerful? ”
The white-robed young man smiled: "There is nothing more than that. It is said that this pot of wine costs ten gold, and you don't have to be too expensive, without a certain status, you can't buy it if you want to. ”
The blue-robed man and the black charcoal head were dumbfounded when they heard this.
……
Alcohol is a culture in which the protagonists have been men for thousands of years.
At the beginning of human winemaking, it was stamped with the chrome mark of men, and wine became an eternal topic for men. For men, wine is like a sword to a knight, and fat powder is to a beautiful woman.
Wine is the soul and embellishment of men, literati need it to express their feelings in their hearts, the people in the market need it to nourish the boring days, the heroes need it to temper their fighting spirit, and the frustrated subordinates need it to anesthetize themselves!
A good man is at the wine table, even if he is a mortal enemy, after cooking wine and talking, he will give birth to the meaning of pity for heroes and heroes; Even if you have the right to fight, because a glass of wine can give up the military power. Wine shortens the distance between men, becomes a warming agent for men's friendship, and is a unique way to express emotions. Wine is a pure emotion for men, and this emotion makes people sacrifice themselves as friends, stick knives in both sides, and do not care about personal gains and losses.
At this moment, the four men who were originally strangers quickly got closer to each other with the help of this pot of spirits worth ten gold.
During the talks, Li Pengfei also learned about the situation of several people.
The blue-robed man was indeed as he guessed, it was the famous Guan Yuguan Second Master in later generations, and the black charcoal head was Zhang Fei and Zhang Sanye, and the white-robed young man was Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
At this time, Guan Yu was angry and killed people because of the conflict with the Hao clan in his hometown, and then had to leave his hometown to die. And Guan Yu was very surprised when he learned Li Yunlong's name, because he happened to hear that the eldest son of the Li family in Yuyang was fighting for justice and squandering money and making friends with Yingjie, so he decided to go to see the situation. But I didn't expect to meet me halfway through.
However, he didn't say anything about his situation at this time, because it was a bit embarrassing. Although the Guan family is not a wealthy family in the local area, it is not a poor family, and the family is not short of money. When he left home, he also brought a lot of money with him. As a result, he left home for several years, not only did he achieve nothing, but he consumed all the entanglements, which is simply the rhythm of a loser.
Therefore, Guan Yu just told Li Pengfei that he was traveling in the north at the moment, and now he was just passing through Zhuo County.
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun didn't see any signs, but Li Pengfei was not an ordinary person, and he had already seen something from Guan Yu's appearance and the bags he carried. This proud guy should be shy now. He remembered that when Guan Yu appeared in the first chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was pushing a cart to do a small business, so he must have had to make such a choice because he had no money. However, he didn't break it, Guan Yu is a face-loving person, if he breaks it, he will have a mortal enmity with him.
As for Zhang Fei, the family was originally a butcher for generations, but when he was in his father's generation, he accidentally got a secret recipe for winemaking, so he switched to winemaking, and also made a lot of money, accumulating 300 acres of land, well, this should be a small mu, the area of each mu is about 193 square meters, but a few hundred acres is not a lot, with a total area of more than 50,000 square meters. and built this huge manor where they were accommodating at the moment.
According to Zhang Fei, his parents were old and gave birth to him when they were over 40 years old. However, his mother died when he was a teenager, and his father died three years ago, and now he has just passed the three-year filial piety period. At the beginning, his mother found him a family affair before she died, but before she could do a happy event, the old man passed away. Naturally, this family business had to be postponed. And while he was keeping filial piety for his mother, his father died again. Therefore, now he is alone, after all, his fiancée has not passed the door, and he is not a member of the Zhang family.
As for Zhao Yun, this kid just learned martial arts from his teacher in the middle of this year, and now it is the time to travel around and accumulate experience. This time he passed by Zhuo County because the New Year was approaching, and he was going home for the New Year.
Of course, Li Pengfei also briefly told the three of them about his situation.
Now that the troubled times are only two or three months away, Li Pengfei is preparing for the arrival of the troubled times. Before, he was worried that he had no available people under his command, but now that he suddenly encountered these three super generals who could rank in the top ten or even the top five in the Three Kingdoms in terms of force value, Li Pengfei would certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.
Since he already has the intention of wooing these three famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, Li Pengfei naturally will not hide his identity. He knows very well that in this era of great importance to his origin, his status as Li Ying's grandson is a very useful card.
In the early days of the struggle for hegemony among the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, why was Yuan Shao able to comprehensively suppress Cao Cao? Isn't it because Yuan Shao's background is better than Cao Cao's? The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family were the top wealthy families of the Han Dynasty, and many officials of the Han Dynasty were protégés of the Yuan family, so Yuan Shao received a lot of support.
As for Cao Cao, although he was also born into a famous family, his father Cao Song also served as the third duke, and the Cao family can be traced back to Cao Shen, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty and the second prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but because Cao Cao's grandfather (adoptive grandfather) Cao Teng was a eunuch and had a bad reputation, many people looked down on Cao Cao and were unwilling to defect to him. If it weren't for Cao Cao's own family, the Cao family and the Xiahou family, which had many talents and helped Cao Cao survive the initial entrepreneurial stage, how could Cao Cao succeed later?
In the back, the reason why those scholars and generals defected to Cao Cao one after another was because Cao Cao was strong, and even defeated Yuan Shao and destroyed the Yuan family, and it was already clear that he wanted to dominate the world.
And the reputation and status of the ancestors of the Li family (Li Pengfei's great-grandfather Li Xiuguan to Taiwei, great-grandfather Li Yiguan to Zhao Guo's prime minister, grandfather Li Yingguan to Jiuqing Shaofu, is the leader of the world's corporals, famous all over the world) is one of Li Pengfei's biggest capitals in the world, Li Pengfei comes from later generations, and he knows very well what kind of benefits this relationship can bring.
Although Li Pengfei believes that with his own ability and the memories of future generations, he can also thrive in this troubled era, but who would think that his capital is too large and abundant?
Sure enough, when Li Pengfei mentioned that his great-grandfather was Li Xiu, the imperial lieutenant of the Han family, and his grandfather was Li Ying, the Shaofu of Changle, even though the three people in front of him were martial artists instead of scholars, they suddenly changed their attitude towards Li Pengfei and obviously showed some respect. Guan Yu, in particular, originally had the idea of going to Quanzhou to defect to Li Pengfei, but now that he knows Li Pengfei's family background, he is even more determined in his heart to defect to Li Pengfei.
Although the Guan family is not a family of scholars, since Guan Yu's grandfather Guan Shen began, he has paid great attention to the study of sage books. It is recorded that he "rushed to Mu and was good", and often used the "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn" to train his son, that is, Guan Yu's father Guan Yi. And Guan Yi also received such an education, otherwise, Guan Yu would not have held "Spring and Autumn" in his hand at any time in the future.
Moreover, Guan Yu is a loyal and righteous person, and Li Ying is also a loyal and righteous person, and he is not only the righteousness of brothers and friends, but also the righteousness of the country. At the beginning, the scholars lost the struggle against the eunuchs, and Li Ying could have escaped, but he said: "It is my discipline to serve the monarch without avoiding disasters, and not escaping punishment if guilty." I'm sixty years old, life and death are predestined, where can I go? He took the initiative to go to the prison designated by the imperial edict and was tortured to death. In Guan Yu's view, this is where the greatest righteousness lies.
