Chapter 203: Another way to put it another way
The servant saw that Yang Ze was going to have a treat, and immediately went to prepare, and it didn't take much effort to bring up a large plate of boiled mutton, as well as a plate of salted radish, there are no good dishes in this place, mutton is average, but salted radish is rare, for herdsmen, there are radishes to eat or salty, then this is a good food for the New Year.
When a jar of wine was served, Yang Ze personally poured out two bowls, put them in front of the eyes of the two brothers, and said with a smile: "This wine was brought by the official from Chang'an, the two of you taste it, the official has a lot of wine here, you can drink it vigorously, one jar is not enough, and another jar!" With that, he stared at the two of them, wanting to see their looks.
To Yang Ze's surprise, the two brothers did not drink immediately, there was no drunkard who saw the drunkard not dying, the two of them swallowed their saliva wildly, smelled the wine, and had an intoxicated expression on their faces, but neither of them immediately picked up the bowl to drink, but grabbed a piece of mutton at the same time, put it in their mouths and chewed it, although their eyes were staring at the wine bowl, but no one reached out to take it.
Yang Ze thought to himself: "It's strange, looking at the appearance of the two of them, they are lifeless when they see wine, why don't they drink alcohol, but eat meat instead, they won't be embarrassed, right?" I can't see it, my face is quite thin! ”
As soon as he finished thinking about it, he saw that the two Shuluo brothers swallowed the meat in their mouths, wiped their mouths, and picked up their wine glasses together, and each took a small sip first!
After taking this small sip, I saw that the two brothers looked at each other, and like the wild cat saw the salted fish, and like the old dog saw the bones, he opened his big mouth, and heard a coo, and in no particular order, they dried up the whole bowl of wine!
Yang Ze smiled and said, "How about it, this wine can still be eaten, right?" ”
"Yes, this wine is really strong, good wine, good wine!" Shu Luochai put down the wine bowl and praised loudly, while Shu Luozao stretched out his hand. When I picked up the wine jar, I had the expression of pouring it directly into my mouth.
After Shu Luochai finished praising a sentence, he saw that his brother was about to pour wine mouth-to-mouth, and he hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be like this, in front of the eldest master, how can you be so rude!" As he spoke, he snatched the jar in Shuluozao's hand and took a big gulp, he actually went mouth-to-mouth first!
Yang Ze thought to himself: "How can this still be said." Do a set, say not to let the brother be rude, he himself is rude first! He smiled and said: "If you like to drink, drink more, this official has nothing else here, but there is wine." By the way, why didn't you just drink wine just now, but instead eat meat first, but you were hungry? ”
Shu Luozao was robbed of wine by his brother, and he was in a hurry. Hearing Yang Ze say that there was still wine, he was happy in his heart, and answered: "If you go back to the old man, if you want to drink more wine." If you don't get drunk right away, you have to have some food in your stomach first, and when you have a bottom in your stomach, you can drink more wine. to get drunk not so quickly! He snatched the wine jar in Shu Luochai's hand, and also poured a big sip, drinking too quickly. I choked and coughed!
Yang Ze sighed, only then did he understand that he was not a good drinker, and besides, the wine of this year, for him, the degree is too low, he can drink it if he wants to, he doesn't need to pad his stomach first, and he forgot the trick of eating something before drinking, these two people are really drunkards, and they are very experienced in drinking!
The two Shuluo brothers, seeing that Yang Ze had been smiling, their courage became bigger, and the amount of wine was revealed.
This jar of wine is not much, but it must not be considered less, a full ten catties of wine, even if a person is five catties, no matter how low the degree is, but if you drink it like this, if you drink it so quickly, it will also be on the top, but the two Shuluo brothers are like no one else, put down the empty wine jar, and smirk at Yang Ze, look at the meaning, one jar is not enough, and another jar is good!
Yang Ze beckoned, and asked the servant to send a jar, he came to Zhenxi from Chang'an, and bought good wine when he saw it on the way, but the wine was not less, even if the Shuluo brothers could drink it again, it would be enough.
And they drank it until the fourth jar, when the two brothers were satisfied, and both of them were blushing and thick-necked, and their mouths were full of wine, and their breasts were open, and they spoke with their tongues wide open.
Yang Ze was very surprised, these two people drank forty catties of wine, and they didn't go to the toilet halfway, one person was at least twenty catties, what a big belly they were, if they want to change to someone else, don't say it's wine, even if it's water, pour it down twenty catties in one go, then I can't stand it, do you have such a big belly, are you still human!
Shu Luochai bared his tongue and said inarticulately: "Big master, you are a good person, stronger than the big masters here before, too strong, so good that I really have nothing to say." ”
Shu Luozao also had a big tongue, and said with a red face: "Master, when the weather is warm, if you want to go to the grassland to collect taxes, you don't need to go with a knife, just say hello to us in advance, and we will help you collect the tax." Don't look at you as a generous official, we are bald herdsmen, but as long as you have this wine, how much tax do you want to collect, isn't it easy! ”
Yang Ze smiled and thought: "I go to you with a knife, if you ask for money, it is called robbery, of course, it can also be interpreted as collecting taxes, but if I go with wine, you give me money, it is called trading, no matter how you explain it, it can't be called tax collection!" ”
Smiling, Yang Ze said: "Let's not talk about tax collection first, let's talk about it first, how is this wine, is it delicious, is it energetic, do you like it?" ”
The two brothers nodded together, and praised each other, saying that this wine was so delicious, so delicious that it could not be described, even if it was their Khan King, he would not normally drink this kind of good wine, and even if he did, he would not be willing to do four jars in one breath like they did today!
Yang Ze said with a smile: "This official is generous enough, bold enough, such a good wine, I drank so much for you." You came to my town to buy wine and drink this time, didn't you come in vain? ”
Shu Luochai's head suddenly sobered up, he became scared again, and hurriedly said: "Of course the eldest lord is bold, but I don't know what the eldest lord invited my two brothers to drink, what is the matter, and he wants my two brothers to serve?" ”
Shu Luozao is not stupid, he is the same as his brother, listening to Yang Ze's words, he is also nervous, as soon as he is nervous, he wants to go to the thatched house, but he doesn't dare to move the place, he is uncomfortable, and the color on his face is even redder!
Yang Ze pointed to the empty wine jars and said, "Such a jar of wine, if the official gets it to sell to you, how much does it cost to sell it?" ”
Shu Luochai thought to himself: "It's bad, this is a forced purchase and forced sale, this official is so cunning, he waited for us to finish drinking before saying the price." This is to knock us out, in the words of their Central Plains, this is to knock on the bamboo pole, he is to knock on the wine jar! ”
Gritted his teeth, anyway, now that it is in the hands of others, it is impossible to do it without bleeding, Shu Luochai said: "This kind of good wine, I can't drink it in my bald and unpleasant leisure, if the villain buys it, how can I get ten sheep." Four jars, the villain is willing to have forty fat sheep, today the big man let us go, five days later, the villain will send you the sheep! ”
Yang Ze was overjoyed in his heart, a jar of wine and ten sheep, the wine was good, but if it was in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it would be half a sheep at most. It can be multiplied twenty times at once, this business is done!
Yang Ze was happy in his heart, so he didn't answer immediately, Shu Luochai thought that Yang Ze was too little. Thinking about it, the county commander personally "invited" them to drink, although it was not in vain, but forty sheep wanted to exchange for four jars of such good wine. There is also a county magistrate to accompany you, this price is really not high!
Shu Luochai added, "Then eighty sheep? Well, the villain is willing to make up a hundred sheep. I'll send it to the eldest lord in five days. ”
Shu Luozao's brain turned faster than his brother, and he took over the conversation and said, "If the eldest master still has this kind of wine, then there are ten sheep in each jar, how many are there, and how many villains want!" ”
Yang Ze thought for a while and said, "If this wine is ten sheep and one jar, you can sell it back and sell it, how many sheep can you sell?" ”
Shu Luochai breathed a sigh of relief, ten sheep can't be regarded as a decimal number for the bald herdsmen, but if they can be exchanged for a jar of such good wine, it is also worth it. He said: "Such a good wine, how can the villain sell it, it's good to keep it for himself, such a good wine is not easy to come by, and he can't drink it if he sells it." ”
Yang Ze shook his head and said: "This kind of wine, this official has it here, and this official is willing to do wine business with you, as long as everyone doesn't make it public, and don't spread it all over the grassland, that is, everyone is rich, and this official can treat you as friends." You haven't answered me yet, if this wine is in your bald mud, how many sheep and a jar will you get, is this kind of ten-pound jar? ”
Shu Luochai blinked his eyes and said: "Such a good wine, in our bald mud, only nobles can drink it, a jar of wine and ten sheep is about the same, no matter more, even nobles can't afford it, but if you pay the bill with gold, it's easy to say." ”
He took out a piece of gold from his arms, this gold is blue in color and a little white, it is not pure gold, the color is not good, and it has to be smelted and purified to become gold in the real sense, but the size is not small, there are more than a dozen taels.
Shu Luochai said: "A jar of such wine, how can it be worth such a piece of gold, our gold there is not worth much, not like you Central Plains can be used for expenses, for the poor, this thing should not be eaten and drunk, it is useless, plus there is no trade, the nobles want it is not very useful, can only play jewelry or something, but if in the Central Plains this thing is valuable, if the lord is willing to let us pay the bill with gold, then it is easy to say, we can save sheep, you can make a lot of money." ”
Yang Ze was overjoyed, although he didn't show a happy expression on his face, but he already knew in his heart that this business would definitely be done and would definitely make a lot of money.
For the bald people, they can't trade with the Dafang Empire, which is a fatal wound, if gold can't be exchanged as an equivalent, then it is a stone, but the bald people know that gold is very valuable in the Dafang Empire, but because of the existence of the Turbulent Khanate, even if the bald mud has a mountain of gold, it is useless, and why do the Turjue people want to annex the bald mud, because the territory of the bald people has gold, in order to annex the bald mud, when the Sudden Jue and the Dafang Empire signed a contract, they asked the Dafang Empire not to trade with the bald mud, This makes it useless for the bald people to have mountains of gold, they are still poor, and gold cannot be circulated, it is just stone.
Shu Luochai said again: "Master, if you want to do business with us Bald Mudun, we can't ask for it, but aren't you afraid of your court's blame?" ”
Yang Ze said loudly: "I'm afraid, the official said the wrong thing just now, the official didn't dare to do business with you, and those words about doing business should be treated as if the official didn't say it!" ”
The two Shuluo brothers showed disappointment on their faces together, and after a long time, the new Zhenxi County Commander, like his predecessors, still didn't dare to do business with Bald Luhun!
Yang Ze paused, and said: "However, it is not necessary to call the transaction a business, you can put it another way!" (To be continued......)
