Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　Taking two or three men with him, Cheng Yaojin rode on a tall horse and headed towards Anping County.

　　Who would have thought that on the road, he just happened to meet Cheng Chumo, who was running training.

　　There were several question marks in Cheng Yaojin's head, and he couldn't help asking: "Chu Mo, what are you doing?"

　　"Dad, it's military training. Master Lu arranged for us to go back and forth from Chang'an to Anping County every morning and evening," Cheng Chumo said.

　　"Chu Mo, as a school captain, how can you be trained like a soldier? I'll have someone give you a horse, and you can ride it back." Cheng Yaojin shouted.

　　"Father, although I want to be lazy, I can't. Master Lu will know." Cheng Chumo said helplessly.

　　"Could it be that he has been sending people to follow you?" Cheng Yaojin looked back, but there was basically no one behind.

　　"How can Master Lu's method be so simple, Dad, you don't understand it, don't worry about me, don't talk about it, Dad, you go ahead." Cheng Chumo said.

　　Seeing his son running silently, Cheng Yaojin thought that he would talk about that Lu Zhuangzhu later.

　　Cheng Yaojin didn't wait for his son, and quickened his pace on horseback.

　　For a distance of more than ten miles, it takes about one stick of incense if you run, but less than half a stick of incense if you ride a horse.

　　After inquiring about Lu Zhuang's location, Cheng Yaojin quickly found it.

　　But looking at the long queue, Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded.

　　Every single person in line holds a bag of locusts in exchange for food.

　　If you line up according to the rules, it may not be his turn tonight.

　　Cheng Yaojin planned to wait for the office to come back after running silently, and asked him what to do, just to see if he could really exchange locusts for food.

　　He checked carefully, and sure enough, he found that one after another, people came out of Luzhuang with bags of grain with big smiles on their faces.

　　Just when he saw one of Lu Zhuang's servants seeming to maintain a queue at the door, he rolled his eyes and seemed to have an idea.

　　"Little brother, it's true or false that Luzhuang can exchange locusts for food." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

　　"Of course it's true, do you want to change food too, but you don't look like a poor commoner in your clothes." Li Ergou said strangely.

　　"Hehe, I just want to try something delicious, but I don't know if I can do it." Cheng Yaojin seemed to have a rough heart, but many people were deceived by his appearance, but he was actually smart.

　　"It should be possible. Actually, it mainly depends on the mood of the young master. If he is willing to change it for you, the delicious food will make you swallow your tongue."

　　"Little brother thinks that I should change something better. If I can change it successfully, I will give you two pounds." Cheng Yaojin said generously.

　　"Is this true?"

　　"Naturally, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't speak well?"

　　Li Ergou's eyes lit up, but he didn't know that Cheng Yaojin's words were foolishly successful.

　　"I feel that I can change the wine. Moutai is mellow and strong, and the smell of the wine is already irresistible."

　　So far, Li Ergou has not been able to taste it.Although Lu Xiu made a lot of it, all of them were drunk by Li Yuan and the others.

　　"You can actually change wine?" Cheng Yaojin grumbled, as if wine worms were at work in his stomach.

　　"Thank you little brother, but I don't know if it will be my turn until tonight. Hey, why don't you let me get ahead in the queue?"

　　"How can I break your son's rules. It's absolutely impossible to jump in line."

　　"Isn't it true?"

　　"Cough, it's not impossible. Rules are dead and people are alive. You can ask the people in the front if they can buy their positions with money."

　　"Haha, that's it, I understand."

　　Cheng Yaojin smiled contentedly, if it was something that money could solve, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

　　He sent someone to come forward and asked an old man who was in the [-]th place. He offered [-] yuan to buy his position, and by the way, he bought [-] catties of locusts in his hands at the price of [-] yuan per catty.

　　The old man naturally agreed, although Lu Zhuang could exchange food and give up thirty money out of thin air, how could he refuse, and even a dozen people in the front were vying to sell their position to Cheng Yaojin.

　　In addition, he didn't have to re-rank, because the price of good food above the locust was also sold to Cheng Yaojin.

　　In fact, for him, even if there is no [-] money to sell the position, it is better to exchange locusts for money.

　　Although locusts can exchange the same weight of good grain in Luzhuang, but the same price can be exchanged for three catties of inferior grain in Chang'an.

　　They are mainly to feed a few family members, rather than thinking about eating good food.

　　So I just got a total of [-] dollars from Cheng Yaojin, which can allow him to buy more than [-] catties of food, enough for their family of six to eat for ten days. .

Chapter 25

　　Cheng Yaojin, who got a lot of useful information from Li Ergou's mouth, bought an old man in front with money, and it was his turn soon.He also met Lu Xiu, and the last person he didn't want to see, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan! !

　　The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan has always been unwilling to see the important ministers in front of his Majesty. Maybe he thinks that part of the reason for the change in Xuanwumen was caused by them fanning the flames.

　　"Brother, what do you want to change?" Lu Xiu asked.

　　"Excuse me, Mr. Lu, I caught dozens of catties of locusts. Can I change anything?"

　　"You can put it in the yard."

　　Cheng Yaojin saw that there were piles of flour and wheat in the yard, mainly whole grains.

　　But he specially sent people to catch the locusts, and then went to Luzhuang at a great deal of trouble, not to exchange a little food for that.

　　Although two years of drought and locust plagues, Cheng Yaojin, who owns thousands of acres of fiefs, has no shortage of food.

　　"I want to exchange a few pounds of fine wine, but I don't know if I can." Cheng Yaojin said it according to Li Ergou's instructions.

　　"Do you want to change the wine?" Lu Xiu looked at the other party again. Judging from the clothes, he was not bad for money. The Jinluo Yuyi in his clothes was already a fortune that other people couldn't earn in a year.

　　I don't know who spread it out, but someone would actually change the wine.Thinking about it, Lu Xiu couldn't help but glance at Li Yuan beside him.

　　"Humph." Li Yuan glanced at Cheng Yaojin, and after recognizing him, Li Yuan's face was a little unhappy, "Don't look at the old man, it is not what the old man said."

　　"I can exchange it for you, but the exchange price for wine is two pounds of locusts for one kilogram. In addition, you have to prepare the container for the wine yourself." Lu Xiu said.

　　"Hey, then replace all of them with a bar." Cheng Yaojin asked someone to carry two large sacks of locusts.

　　A total of eighty pounds of locusts, Lu Xiu exchanged a large barrel of wine for him.

　　The mellow Moutai wine exudes a mellow aroma of wine, and the smell of the wine alone makes Cheng Yaojin salivate.

　　The boy from Lu Zhuang really didn't lie to him. Judging from the aroma of the wine, it was indeed a rare wine.

　　He replaced it all with [-] pounds of fine wine, and even forgot the idea of ​​changing a few king crabs.

　　Cheng Yaojin was holding a tens of kilograms of wine barrels in one hand, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all.How could he let his subordinates help with such a fine wine, what if he fell down.

　　After leaving the gate of Luzhuang, Li Ergou was already waiting there, staring at Cheng Yaojin.

　　Cheng Yaojin also fulfilled his promise, took the scoop prepared by Li Ergou, distributed a large scoop to him, and put it in a kettle.

　　Li Ergou was already greedy, and without saying a word, he immediately poured a sip into his mouth.

　　"Gulu. It's so fragrant, but it seems that there is a fire burning from the mouth all the way to the stomach. So is this the smell of wine?" Li Ergou's pale face instantly burned like fire.

　　"I'll try it too." Cheng Yaojin originally wanted to go back and drink again, but when he saw Li Ergou tasting it in front of him, his defense was broken instantly.

　　Cheng Yaojin used a scoop as a container, went down and took a sip, and the stubble on his face was also stained a lot.

　　"It's so strong!!"

　　Cheng Yaojin didn't have time to taste it carefully, the rich and mellow wine aroma and strong wine power burst out at the same time.

　　"Happy. Good wine. Compared with it, I used to drink water."

　　Datang's winemaking process is not bad if it can brew more than ten degrees of wine, but the Maotai in front of you is fifty-three degrees, and it can't be brewed without distillation.

　　Although the spirits were very strong, Cheng Yaojin drank half a catty by himself after a while.

　　"Dad, are all the locusts used for wine?" Just ran back to Luzhuang from Chang'an, and saw his father pouring spoon after spoonful from the bucket into his mouth in front of the door.

　　Originally, I didn't understand that my father had to drink so much water, but when he smelled the aroma of the wine, Cheng Chumo finally understood what it was.

　　"Hey, Chu Mo, I didn't expect to have such a fine wine." Cheng Yaojin's cheeks were all red, and he stuttered when he spoke.

　　"Father, can you give me a few sips too?" Cheng Chumo said eagerly.

　　"Come, come and have a few drinks with me." Cheng Yaojin shoved the wooden scoop into Shuimo's hand.

　　Although Cheng Chumo had watched Lu Xiu and the others taste it a few times, he never had the chance to drink it. This time, he didn't expect his father to be so smart that he knew how to exchange locusts for fine wine.

　　He happened to have run for more than thirty miles and was a little thirsty, so he poured it directly into his mouth.

　　"Cough cough." Who would have thought that drinking it would be like a fire, the strong alcohol force caused Cheng Chu to cough out silently.

　　"Hahaha, it's delicious. It's the first time I've had such a strong wine. If you drink it for the first time, don't drink so much. Only a little bit can experience its beauty." Cheng Yaojin said happily.

　　"Dad, you didn't say it sooner. But after drinking it, it makes people memorable, especially the aroma of the wine. Dad, let me have a few more sips." Cheng Chumo said.

　　"Go away, I'll take the rest back to drink slowly. You are in Luzhuang, and I'm afraid you won't be able to drink in the future." Cheng Yaojin glared at his son, then covered the bucket like a calf. .

Chapter 26

　　Cheng Yaojin, who was riding back, naturally couldn't hold back, and actually drank all the way back.

　　Although it is said that his alcohol intake is not bad, it is the first time he has drunk such a strong wine, and together with the Maotai who has drank three or four kilograms in total, Cheng Yaojin is drunk! !

　　Even modern alcoholics who drink a lot of alcohol would probably be unconscious if they were allowed to drink a few pounds of Maotai in just one hour.

　　Moutai has a concentration of fifty-three degrees, which is a high-alcohol spirit.

　　Generally drink high alcohol, which one will not be accompanied by many snacks, drink slowly and eat slowly.After a meal, it takes three or four hours to eat according to the amount that Cheng Yaojin drinks.

　　Of course, being drunk is not a strange thing, but the strange thing is that Cheng Yaojin, after being drunk, went crazy in Chang'an City! !

　　Originally, Cheng Yaojin had never experienced drunkenness in his life, and the low-alcohol liquor brewed by Datang was basically difficult to get drunk.

　　Like many people drinking beer, drinking a box of more than a dozen beers is basically nothing.

　　For many people, drinking beer is no different from drinking plain water.
