The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

"Brother, it's so late. I'm afraid the restaurant has been closed for a long time? Where shall we go for a drink Shunzi helplessly looks at Li Yuanqing.

At this time, it was about midnight, and it was close to 12 o'clock. The palace was empty. Except for the night watchman, he could not see a wild cat, let alone human.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "if there is a place, then there must be a place. Go. "

With that, Li Yuanqing took the lead in striding forward.

Shunzi a few people also see that Li Yuanqing mood seems to be good, rushed to follow Li Yuanqing behind.

The night wind is very cold, whistling from the ear, but Li Yuanqing's mood, but gradually clear up.

It is impossible to satisfy everyone in the world.

It's enough to grasp the general situation and do yourself well.

The capital is due south and North, the terrain is flat, the imperial city is complex, easy to lose direction, but outside, the road is very neat, not difficult to find.

Not long ago, a group of people came to an alley entrance. At this time, although it was late at night, the alley was full of excitement and bustle.

Shun Zi and Yang Xiaochuan were all looking at the flowers. Shun Zi's way of saying, "brother, all, this is the point. Do these people not stop working?" Yang Xiaochuan said.

Li Yuanqing took the back of Shun Zi's head. "Look at your woodlouse. This is the capital, you know? You guys, go and find a brothel called fog rain Pavilion. After a quarter of an hour, no matter if you can't find it, you will meet here. "

"Yes." Several people rushed to separate.

However, shunzi was still around Li Yuanqing and said, "brother, we are officers and soldiers. This, this kind of place... "

Li Yuanqing a Leng, can't help kicking shunzi's buttocks, "is your kid's brain filled with paste? I brought you to drink. What do you think you're going to do

Shunzi was wronged, but his eyes showed a smile. As long as his brother didn't come out to look for flowers and willows, he was relieved and rushed to look for it.

Li Yuanqing alone, along the alley to go inside, not slow.

This area, called Dashilan, is the eight famous Hutongs of later generations. At first, Li Yuanqing asked Yang jiaoniang to leave Guangning and come to the capital to open her shop here.

However, there are several alleys in this area. Li Yuanqing doesn't know where Yang jiaoniang's shop is, so he can only use a stupid method to ask his subordinates separately.

After all, the capital is the capital. On both sides of the alley, there are brothels and restaurants. However, there are few fans outside to solicit customers. Only occasionally, there are a few prostitutes who come out of the alley to attract passers-by to do business.

But Li Yuanqing can see that these brothels seem to be doing well. There are a lot of cars and horses outside.

The capital is the place where the great powers of the Ming Dynasty gather. How can such small cities as Guangning and Shenyang be compared?

Half way to the alley, Li Yuanqing lost his interest. Everywhere he was, he was still holding a Pipa and half covering his face.

When Li Yuanqing returned to the alley, two soldiers were waiting here. Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, one of them said, "Sir, we found it. It's not far ahead."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "wait for them to come back."

Soon, shunzi and Yang Xiaobo returned. Li Yuanqing asked the two soldiers to lead the way, and they went straight to the fog rain Pavilion.

After walking for a while, he turned around an alley and came to a wider and more prosperous lane. Soon, Li Yuanqing found the big words "fog and rain Pavilion".

This is an eight room three story flat corner building. It is not small. There are many cars and horses outside the door. It looks like business is booming.

Li Yuanqing could not help laughing, "OK, let's choose this one to drink."

With that, Li Yuanqing took the lead in striding in.

The people behind him were stunned. How much money would it cost for such a large yard.

But with their own adults in, they also had the confidence to follow in.

Entering the room, a burst of warm air with a strong fat and pink air is blowing on the face, which makes people energetic.

Li Yuanqing looked around. Even though it was so late, there were still many gold owners in the hall, and there were lots of laughter.

A moment later, a familiar pimp came with a gust of fragrance. It was yueniang, half of Li Yuanqing's acquaintances.

As soon as she saw Li Yuanqing, Yue Niang was surprised. But for a moment, she couldn't help showing her joy. She said in a low voice, "my Lord, why are you here at this time?"

Li Yuanqing grinned and took hold of her plump waist. "How? Can't you come here? "

"No, it's not. I am happy. I'll tell the manager. " Yue Niang was surprised and happy and was about to leave.

Li Yuanqing took her hand and said, "don't worry. Give me the whole single room, and order some good dishes. The kids are hungry. "

"Month Niang hastily nods," Ye, you please follow me. "With that, she led Li Yuanqing and his party to a small yard in the backyard. Yueniang explained to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "my Lord, unfortunately, the rooms are full today. This is my courtyard. You have a rest here. I will go to urge the food. "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "hard you, moon Niang."

She was too busy to leave.

She and Yang jiaoniang are the same sisters. After leaving Guangning, she also knows Li Yuanqing's identity and admires Li Yuanqing's foresight. If it wasn't for Li Yuanqing, I'm afraid she would still be a fool in Guangning. Now, even if she is alive, she must become a slave of JianNu, and it is difficult for her to be as comfortable and beautiful as she is today?

Shunzi, Yang Xiaobo and these relatives and soldiers are also somewhat tongue tied.

Although they have never been to a brothel, they have all heard the rules in the kiln. When can a lady treat people so attentively?

According to the scale of the fog rain Pavilion, even if it is a big gold master, I'm afraid it doesn't need to be like this?

Soon, a pretty maid began to serve, but with more and more dishes, these soldiers were more and more astonished.

Steamed Yellow River carp, embroidered lion's head, and many relatives and soldiers, don't even hear the name of dishes, but whether it's flying in the sky, swimming in the water, climbing on the ground, everything.

After a while, more than 20 dishes have been placed on the table, but there are still maids constantly serving dishes, which seems to have not been finished.

For a moment, four more tortoise slaves, holding two jars of old wine, carefully entered the yard.

An older tortoise slave said cautiously, "Sir, there are too many customers in the shop today, and there is not much wine left. Only these two jars are left for Yugong Maotai."

Li Yuanqing a smile, "hard you. This wine is good. "

With that, Li Yuanqing waved his hand to show them to step down.

Several tortoise slaves quickly quit.

Li Yuanqing himself opened a wine jar, suddenly, a strong aroma of wine, fluttering to his face.

Later generations, because of the business relationship, Li Yuanqing was not unfamiliar with wine, but also had some understanding of the legendary National Liquor Maotai.

Maotai Town in Guizhou has a long history of wine making.

As early as Sima Qian's historical records, it was recorded that during the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu drank "goujiu sauce" from Yelang area and praised it as "sweet and beautiful".

Yelang is today's Northern Guizhou, and Maotai town is in its heart.

However, it was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that Maotai town really formed its liquor making culture. Almost every village had workshops. The famous Maotai flavor wine also began to take shape.

At this time, although the aroma of this wine is not as strong as that of later generations, it has a certain resemblance to the spirit.

These soldiers are all mud legs. Where have you seen such things?

In addition, the tortoise slave said that this was a royal tribute. In addition, the aroma of the wine made everyone want to put his eyes and nose into the wine jar.

Li Yuanqing filled the wine for every soldier with a smile and said with a smile, "boys and girls, Li Yuanqing has worked hard with me. Come on, there is no military affairs today, so you can open up to drink. Here's to you. "

Shunzi doesn't matter. After all, Li Yuanqing is his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law, but Yang Xiaobo and other people are flattered. They all kneel down on the ground and say, "thank you for your kindness. It's a blessing to be able to serve adults for a few years. "

Li Yuanqing smiles, "very good. I'm lucky to have you brothers. Come on, do it. "

With that, Li Yuanqing took the lead in drinking the wine in the cup.

The relatives and soldiers all drank up.

This Maotai liquor is different from other Baijiu and rice wine. Its degree is very high. Even if it can't match the legend of later generations, Li Yuanqing estimated that it should be at least 40 degrees.

The majority of the bowl of wine, everyone's face is red, chest and belly still like fire.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "come on, have a bite. I'm going to start with that. You boys, drink if you can, and cut down if you can't. If anyone drinks too much, he can't control himself and make a stubble. Tomorrow, I will do it according to law. "

A close soldier quickly said with a smile, "my Lord, don't worry. I'll drink two bowls for the small one. No, just three bowls. No more. Adults are very kind to us, and small ones will never cause trouble to adults. "

Shunzi several people also hastily nodded.

Li Yuanqing a smile, "the mouth is quite smooth. I'm hungry. Don't be polite to me. Eat it quickly. "

Li Yuanqing first picked up a chopstick dish, and then his relatives and soldiers dared to move the chopsticks. But for a moment, after tasting the taste of the food, everyone was a gust of wind and clouds.

Li Yuanqing didn't have much appetite. The main reason was that he was too nervous today, so late, he couldn't eat.

But Li Yuanqing was also very pleased to see the children like this.

One day, he wants all the people in this world to live a life of wine and meat.

At this time, there was a footstep outside the gate.

A moment later, Li Yuanqing saw a familiar figure with tears in his eyes and rushed into the hospital.Just as she was about to speak, Li Yuanqing winked at her.

She was stunned. She quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears. She came forward and said with a smile: "it's my honor that several military masters can come to eat in the shop. I'll invite you to this meal."

The relatives and soldiers had just had a good time. Hearing this, they almost vomited all the things they had just eaten.

What do you mean?

This, this meal, I'm afraid, will cost at least ten Liang silver?

But, but this woman actually said, she wants to treat, this, what kind of situation is this?

Li Yuanqing can't help shaking his head and laughing. Although Yang jiaoniang's disguise is not bad, as long as you look at her eyes, you can understand.

After this, Li Yuanqing could no longer pretend to go on. He winked at Yang jiaoniang and said with a smile, "the shopkeeper's love is flattering. In this way, a brought back a few small things in his hometown, and asked the shopkeeper to help a long eye. "

How could Yang jiaoniang not understand Li Yuanqing's meaning and said with a smile: "that's a good feeling. This way, sir

Li Yuanqing stood up with a smile, went to Yang jiaoniang, and said to the moon mother next to her, "yueniang, you can sleep in another place tonight. These guys, I don't know when they're going to have trouble. "
