Chapter 408: Difficulties through the ages
Since ancient times, all sages were lonely, and only those who drink were left with their names.
Since ancient times, many literati and elegant men have loved drinking, leaving behind many poems and beautiful articles related to wine.
Meng Xuanyu and others drank this kind of wine for the first time, and they all were amazed and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
Wei Ying couldn't help it anymore and asked Su Chen for a glass. After drinking it, she felt that the wine she had drunk before was a mess!
Peng Qingqing also praised it and was very satisfied. Although women like to drink low-degree fruit wine, sake, rice wine, etc., who is Peng Nuxia? She has no less than that of a man and is generous in character, so for this Wuliangye, it is easy to drink it as soon as she drinks it.
Addictive, the taste of drinking is beyond ordinary.
"Praise, praise, Su Chen, you brewed this kind of wine. I wonder how many people in the world love wine will be grateful to you!" Peng Qingqing praised him without hesitation!
Meng Xuanyu also nodded: "This wine is indeed something he has drunk, the taste and aftertaste, etc., and it is the best. Of course, it is not perfect enough. The neutralization of many flavors still needs to be carefully prepared, and it may be more mellow and delicious.
At that time, it was not an exaggeration to be the number one wine in the world."
Although Bai Susu doesn’t understand alcohol, she can understand people. After seeing the drinking expressions of these people, she knew that the wine was definitely beyond everyone’s expectations and expectations. This business has a bright future!
"Although the wine is good, don't drink it!"
Su Chen appropriately reminds that the high degree of this wine is not as popular as Peng Qingqing used to drink a jar of low-degree wine. If you drink half a pound of this 52-degree Wuliangye white wine, ordinary people can't stand it.
.
"I understand." Peng Qingqing smiled so cunningly.
Su Chen accompanied her with her delicious food, so the girls were very happy to have wine and meals.
Although Meng Xuanyu has a vicious habit and rarely eats wine with other women or men, this situation seems to be a little tolerant.
It was because he had something to ask Su Chen and rushed to follow him, so he could only endure some cleanliness obsessiveness by himself.
Fortunately, because of his love for the house and Wu, he has a certain tolerance for Su Chen, so he can tolerate the girls around Su Chen, not to mention that these women are not inferior to him in appearance and have a special identity.
The atmosphere was very harmonious with the cups and chatting and laughing.
When the banquet was coming to an end, Han Yunpeng mentioned that Su Chen was defeating the envoy of Song State with his brother in Jinling, and said excitedly: "This incident has spread to Runzhou. Now the name of a talented man in Jiangzuo has been completely recognized. Who can do it?
I dare not question it anymore, and the talented men in Runzhou have greatly improved their reputation for Su Chen. They are not as unwilling to accept it as before. Now they regard themselves as the leader of young scholars in Runzhou!"
Peng Qingqing said with a flushed cheek: "At that time, I was standing beside Su Chen and saw with my own eyes how arrogant that Xiao Hanlin was, but how did he make a couplet during the couplet process? Su Chen met one by one.
That surprised and shocking expression was so wonderful.”
Han Yunpeng clapped his hands and smiled: "Have you vomited blood by that Xiao Hanlin? There are rumors in Runzhou City. Xiao Hanlin vomited blood on the spot!"
Su Chen shook his head and laughed: "It's not that exaggerated, and he didn't vomit blood."
Han Yunpeng heard that he did not vomit blood, and was a little disappointed and said, "It's a pity that my brother only spoke the second couplet, but did not issue the first couplet. If he had three, he could not answer any of them. That would be wonderful. He would definitely vomit blood in anger!"
"It's a pity!" Peng Qingqing nodded.
This reminded Bai Susu. Her eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Brother Chen, we are having a good time today. Why not take this opportunity to leave three first couplets and stay in our Bairun Building. Susu lets you let me know.
After the person is framed, he is hung in the lobby of the restaurant on the three-story floor below. If anyone can match it, Bai Runlou will give him a free order, have a big meal on this top floor, and give him a hundred taels of silver. How about it?"
Su Chen looked at Bai Susu, who smiled like a flower and had a wavy eye. He looked very smart at first glance.
This was not simply asking Su Chen to give out couplets, but really let him give out the kind of absolutes, attracting more people to come to Bairunlou for drinking. For the sake of three pairs, it can attract countless literati and poets.
There are five major restaurants in Runzhou, but Bairunlou has never been able to squeeze into the top three. In the past, except for the factors of wine and dishes, it was mainly because Bairunlou had no stories and no elegance.
The first restaurant in Runzhou is Furong Building.
The reason why it is famous all over the world is because the poem "Furong Tower Sending Xin Jian" by Wang Changling, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, is too famous.
"The cold rain flows into Wu at night, and Pingming sees off the lonely people of Chu Mountain. As if relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, a piece of ice heart is in the jade pot."
This poem has been passed down for a hundred years and has been praised by countless literati. All scholars in Jiangnan know that Wang Changling's poem will probably be passed down through the ages and will last forever.
In fact, Su Chen can tell the answers of people of this era. More than a thousand years later, he often saw it in Chinese textbooks, saying how popular it is!
Although Bai Susu's proposal was selfish and for the reputation of the Bai family's restaurant, it received unanimous cheers from everyone during the meal.
Xu Cainu and Meng Xuanyu wanted to see the difficulty of Su Chen typing the first couplet, and they were eager to appreciate his talent.
Peng Qingqing, Han Yunpeng, and Yang Ling'er join in the fun without much trouble. It depends on how Su Chen pretends to be cool!
"Brother Yes, there are not many three!"
Peng Qingqing urged: "Su Chen, I also want to read you to write the first couplet!"
Xu Qingwan smiled and advised, "Yes, Yixuan, why not write three of them."
Meng Xuanyu also said, "I want to see with my own eyes the style of Mr. Su's couplets!"
Seeing this, Su Chen knew that this was Bai Susu's marketing method, but he couldn't refuse it. Forget it, there is no free lunch in the world. This big meal was rich, and he drank another jar of newly brewed Wuliangye, which is also considered
If Bai Susu spends a lot of money, then give her three couplets.
"Okay, then you'd better obey your orders than respect." Su Chen stood up and ordered Jing Yun and Xiao Tong to prepare pens, ink, paper and ink.
“There is downstairs!”
Xiaotong hurried downstairs to get it, and Jing Yun also followed Xiaotong to attack.
In an instant, the four treasures of the study were prepared, the rice paper was spread out, the ink was grinded, and it was just waiting for Su Chen to pick up his pen and write.
Su Chen stood up, quickly thought of a few difficult pairs in his mind, and locked in three of them.
"The first couplet!" Su Chen picked up his pen, said something mysteriously, and then remained silent and began to write.
[Chicken and dog cross the frost bridge, plum blossoms and bamboo leaves all the way!]
After reading Meng Xuanyu, Xu Cainu, Bai Susu and others, they focused on thinking. In a short period of time, they had no clue to think about the second couplet.
"Second!" Su Chen finished speaking, and continued to write on another long strip.
[Traveling to West Lake, bringing tin pots, and falling from West Lake, cherishing tin lake.]
The few people around him frowned at this moment. The first couplet was obviously even more difficult and had no clue at all.
"Third!" Su Chen smiled slightly and thought of the first couplet that suits this scene very well.
[Wangjiang Tower, looking at the river flow, looking at the river flow up the river, the river tower has eternal history, and the river flows forever.]
