Chapter 87 Naha's Blessing

Tusu wine and Jiaobai wine Yunchu ordered two jars, and he was very worried that his family would have problems after drinking it.

What really satisfied Miss Zhixia from Ruyi Winery was the [-] altars of "Jiuyunchun Wine" ordered by Yunchu.

This is almost the strongest wine that can be found in Chang'an City, and it is said that it is almost comparable to the Sanle pulp made by the barbarians.

Just like the later generations, foreign things are always more expensive, so Sanlejiang, a medicinal wine based on Persian ale and added with three kinds of medicinal materials, naturally defeated the "Jiuyunchun wine" fermented nine times , becoming the most expensive spirit in Chang'an City.

Yunchu's tongue is actually very sensitive, which is related to the fact that he drank too much wine in the past. Therefore, when tasting the alcohol, he can already control the accuracy of tasting to within plus or minus one degree.

Salambar is also a good wine that can be used to murder people. In fact, any wine with medicinal herbs is very suitable for murder, because the strong smell of herbs will cover the taste of poison, and the strong medicinal wine stimulation can paralyze Human nerves can cover the symptoms of poison attacks.

The degree of sanle pulp must not exceed 26 degrees. If the smell of herbs is removed, Yunchu feels that he can drink one or two jars without any problem.

The alcohol content of Jiuyunchun wine should be higher than that of Sanlejiang, because it does not have a strong herbal taste, but it tastes softer than Sanlejiang.

Yunchu needed alcohol, but he didn't want to brew it himself, so he had to buy some Jiuyunchun wine from Zhixia and distill it to see if he could get medical alcohol with a concentration of 75 degrees.

He doesn't want to participate in Datang's prosperous wine industry, at least not now, a petty official from the eighth grade, doing some coolies and making some money, everyone can understand that if he invents something, rely on a craft to sit on the ground and share the loot To make money, this is too much.

He made the alcohol purely for the sake of the people around him. Last summer, in Kucha, Yunchu saw many people who died of their wounds collapsing.

He really didn't want the people around him to die in a humble way like those people.

Zhixia obviously has a lot to say to Yunchu, but unfortunately, Yunchu only talks about business with her, and he doesn't want to say a single word of unnecessary things.

No matter what the relationship between Zhixia and Fangzheng is, he just wants to keep away from this woman. As far as he knows, Fangzheng has never been a magnanimous person, and women are the ones who affect friendship the most. You fell in love with a friend's woman, or you didn't fancy a friend's woman.

When Yunchu came home, Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting came to visit again, but this time Yunchu didn't see them, so he pushed the matter to Cui Shi.

Just when Yunchu was sawing wood with a saw to make chess, Mrs. Cui came to see Yunchu and said that the gains outweigh the losses, so she didn't say anything else, and started to help Yunchu clean up the sawed wooden wheels.

When Yun Chu sawed off 32 wooden wheels and began to adjust the roundness and smoothness, Cui said in a low voice: "If you can't keep merchants at home like slaves, such merchants are meaningless to the Yun family. , and even become a stain on the Yun family's life.

The matter of Liu Sancai was handled by the Lord, so the concubine naturally did not dare to talk about it. However, for the long-term calculation of the Yun family, the Lord should gradually invade [-]% of the power in Liu Sancai's hands.

Even if he was given a large sum of money and kicked out of the team, it would be better than letting him be the master of the business involving the Yun family. "

Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "What do you think a business like Deshenglong is in Cheng's eyes?"

Cui sighed and said, "Deshenglong's shopkeeper is actually Cheng's servant in charge."

"What do you mean, our family can do the same?"

"It must be handled in this way, Peng Wulang, Zhang Ting, these people are only worthy to be servants of the Yun family, not accomplices of the Yun family.

If in the future, someone else's honorable family knows that our family and merchants are partners, Mr. Lang will only be able to marry a woman from a merchant's family in the future, and there is absolutely no possibility of marrying a lady from an honorable family.

For Mr. Lang, marrying a woman from a merchant's family is purely inferior. "

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I only marry women who are pleasing to the eye. If I am pleasing to the eye, I will marry even a farmer's daughter. If I am not pleasing to the eye, the princess will not want it either."

Cui said with a smile: "It is not impossible to marry a peasant girl. Among the officials in the Tang Dynasty, there are not a few who marry a peasant girl as the wife of the wife, but, Princess of the Tang Dynasty, if you can, you should definitely not.

A man who marries our princess of the Tang Dynasty rarely ends well. "

Cui Shi's words were already very tactful, but Yun Chu's heart ached when he heard it.

In short, there is only one meaning in Cui's words - that is absolute control!

Under what circumstances can one person exercise absolute control over another?
Only slavery.

So the essence of Datang society is the absolute control of one group of people over another group of people.

Yunchu began to understand why he couldn't find middle-class hotels and restaurants on the streets of Chang'an.

It's not that there can't be, it's that the Datang family simply doesn't allow such a gray area to exist.

Cui always thinks that she has an unshirkable responsibility to Yun, so after she said these words to Yunchu today, she is very likely to start plotting against Liu Sancai.

What Yunchu thought was a beautiful thing, eventually led to a dark fork in the road.

This made Yunchu's mood very bad. Fortunately, Yuanri, a grand festival, has arrived.

On this day, all the people in Jinchangfang came to congratulate Yunchu on the new year, and congratulate the head of the village on the new year.

Several women of the Yun family tied red silk threads to copper coins day and night, and tied them into necklaces for the husband to reward the people in Jinchangfang.

This was almost a grand ceremony, and Yunchu had to look at the newly dressed residents with a smile on his face from early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings.

This year is very important for the people in Jinchangfang. Everyone has a warm new clothes to wear. Although the three characters Deshenglong are embroidered on the back of the clothes, this still cannot conceal the joy of the people in the area.

Needless to say, as long as someone signed up to pay New Year's greetings to Yunchu, Jiu Fei would take out a very beautiful copper coin necklace tied with silk threads from the basket and reward the person who paid New Year's greetings.

It wasn't until the evening that this large-scale New Year's greeting ceremony was finished.

Cui counted the remaining gems in the basket, somewhat dissatisfied, because there were 62 gems left.

When preparing, Cui prepared 62 pieces in Yuyuli, and now there are 42 more pieces, that is to say, [-] people did not come.

Except for those over 27 years old, those who were paralyzed in bed, those with broken legs, and those who were too sick to get up, there were [-] people who did not come.

Therefore, in the new year, these 27 people will be the focus of Fangzheng Liu Yi's care until the 27 people are taken care of and leave Jinchang Fang.

There is really no food in Chang'an City in winter!

The main reason is that there are no good ingredients in season.

Radish, lotus root, bean sprouts, okra and spinach with icy seeds are the most important ingredients in winter banquets.

Tofu is more expensive than meat. Chicken, duck, goose, fish, mutton, and dog meat are also available in a large amount. The meat of pig meat is really uneatable now.

There is no carp in the fish meat, because the royal family always feels that people eating carp meat is like eating them alive.

Ding Dayou came to sit at home for a while, then hurried back to Shangzhou.

His arrival more than doubled the types of meat in the Yun family, mainly game.

Yunchu stood by the grill and grilled venison for Naha and the old monkey. In fact, venison is not very tasty, mainly because the fat on the deer is not rich enough. If it is not cooked and grilled with other fatty meats, it will be dry.

Fortunately, Ding Dayou also sent a washed and stripped wild boar. The meat of this wild boar is not worth eating, mainly because the little fat on the wild boar is too attractive to Yunchu.

After brushing the roasted venison with warm lard and seasoning, the quality of the venison has been improved by more than two levels.

Although Naha and the old monkey were happily eating roasted venison, their eyes were always fixed on the half bowl of lard that Yunchu didn't have time to eat.

They felt that half a bowl of lard residue was much more delicious than roasted venison, and they took a bite of the oil.

The old monkey came here today because he wanted to convey Master Xuanzang's message to Yunchu. He planned to make Yunna his lamp-carrying girl at this year's Land and Water Conference at the Da Ci'en Temple.

At the beginning of Yun, when Mrs. Cui heard the news, one opened her mouth and knew nothing, and the other lay down on the ground and kowtowed to the old monkey like pounding garlic.

Cui kowtowed until her scalp was broken. After kowtowing, she even ignored the New Year's Eve, hugged Naha and cried bitterly. Before she could cry, she dragged Naha to the room to change clothes like a madman, as if she was afraid of getting old. The monkey changed his words, but Master Xuanzang made other arrangements.

"The Water and Land Conference has a full set of Buddhist rituals, the focus is to appease the souls of the world, offer them blood food, let them enter the cycle of reincarnation, and re-behave as humans, or as beasts, as livestock.

I hope that those dead souls will not stay in the world and disrupt the order of this world.

At that time, Master Xuanzang will recite the newly translated "Mokopoye Paramita Heart Sutra" one hundred and eight times on the lotus pedestal surrounded by butter lamps.

When Master Xuanzang recites the scriptures, he will receive the blessings of ten thousand Buddhas, and the scriptures will naturally speak out the Dharma, and the barriers of retribution, karma, and afflictions will naturally be broken.

Once the three obstacles are eliminated, all hardships and misfortunes will also be eliminated. Whether it is a human being or a ghost, they will all be able to obtain great happiness.

Of course, Yunna holding the lotus lantern to lead the way for Master Xuanzang also has merit, and the child will naturally gain supreme liberation. From then on, he will not be troubled by greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, doubt and wrong views. "

When the old monkey finished speaking, he looked at Yunchu with contempt and said, "Naha, such a blessed child, actually falls into the family of a mere eighth-rank official like you. It's really dusty."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "You mean, from now on, no one will talk about Naha's appearance, right?"

The old monkey said proudly: "To damage Naha is to damage the Buddha's power. There are eight heavenly dragons to punish him. If one life is not enough, there should be eight catastrophes."
