Beijing Daliu Tavern

It was as late as the tavern was the most guests in the day. Many regular customers would call their friends to Daliu Tavern to have some wine and chat with each other to relieve their boredom.

The owner of the Daliu Tavern is named Liu, and because there is a big willow tree near the entrance of the tavern, the tavern is named Daliu.

If you want to say that this Daliu Tavern is nothing different from other taverns in Beijing, it has ordinary shops, ordinary dishes, and simple services, but the soju sold in Daliu Tavern is really extraordinary.

The soju wine is brewed by the boss Liu Yang. It is a prescription passed down from their ancestors of the Liu family, and it is called Xinzhonghuo.

As the name suggests, after drinking a sip of wine, your heart feels like it is burning, and your whole body is warm. It can be said that most of the guests who come to Daliu Tavern come from the heart.

Especially in winter, the weather is cold, and Daliu Tavern is in short supply.

In Beicheng, Daliu Tavern is also well-known and has guests who come to visit every day.

If it weren't for the process that this wine could not be brewed in large quantities, I'm afraid the owner of the tavern would have become rich long ago.

...

Fu Kong carried a weekly roast chicken with a weekly diary and walked into the Daliu Tavern. It was still early and there were still many seats in the tavern. He found an empty table to sit down.

He looked around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a dog-skin hat in the southeast sitting and drinking, nodding to the middle-aged man quietly, and then retracting his eyes.

Putting down the roast chicken, Fu Kong shouted at the counter: "Boss, I'm in a bad mood."

"Okay."

The waiter in the store was busy serving guests at other tables. Liu Yang, who was thin, came over to greet Fu Kong in person with a smile on his face, but when he saw the roast chicken on Fu Kong's table, his smile suddenly faded a little.

"Apart from ordering wine, do you want to order something else? The fried fish and sauce meat in our small shop are good." Liu Yang recommended.

"No, you need two taels of wine."

Fu Kong had something to do in his heart, waved his hand impatiently and sent Liu Yang away.

The only smile left on Liu Yang's face disappeared. He looked at Fu Kong with a faint contempt and turned to get the wine.

Fu Kong opened the oil paper wrapped in roast chicken, tore a chicken leg, and ate it in big mouthfuls. When the boss Liu Yang brought the wine he ordered, his eyes looked around, as if he was waiting for something.

At this time, a scholar-like man walked in with a book in his arms and looked angry. When he saw Fu Kong's figure, his eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything.

He walked straight to an empty table next to Fu Kong and sat down, asked the waiter for a pot of wine and two plates of side dishes, and started eating and drinking alone.

Fu Kong took the towel on the table to wipe the oil stains on his hands, turned his head to look at the scholar, and then seemed to have found something, and sat down at the scholar's desk, and the voice suddenly rose.

"Sir, please ask, is the book you are in your hand a legend of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty sold by Wenhuatang?"

Fu Kong's voice was loud, attracting many customers in the store's attention.

In the past few days, leaflets from the heroes of the Tang Dynasty have been published all over the capital, and many people have heard of this book.

The scholar nodded indifferently: "Yes."

The scholar's movements and expressions were not very strange, but the answer was a little loud.

Fu Kong showed an expectant look and continued to ask the scholar loudly.

"Oh, I heard that this book is comparable to the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If I hadn't had time today, I would have bought it in Wenhuatang.

You have read it, please tell me how this book is, is it good?”

The scholar was waiting for Fu Kong's words, his face rose and his right hand slapped the table, making a loud noise.

An old man drinking next to him suddenly shivered in his hand, and he was almost choked by the scholar.

The scholar ignored everything else and slapped the table, attracting the attention of the customers in the store, and immediately began to swear the legend of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

"Bah, these shameless people dare to be compared with the Sui and Tang dynasties, which is extremely shameless.

I don’t even look at what they wrote, it’s all about it and it’s inconsistent. I read a book so hard, and some plots even copy the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Just because he was so shameless that he sold a liang or two cents of silver, then Tong Wanzhe wanted to get rich and was crazy. I was so confused that I went to buy this book.”

The scholar looked excited and belittled the Tang Dynasty heroes, so he almost jumped and cursed.

Even Fu Kong beside him couldn't stand it anymore, so he quietly pulled the scholar's sleeve and reminded him not to play too much.

………

That's right, everything Fu Kong and the scholar did just now was intentional. They also have another identity in private, which is the navy hired by Ma Jin.

Ma Jin has never been a good person. In order to protect his own interests, he doesn't mind using some despicable means, such as finding a water army to beat the other party's negative reviews.

Ma Jin asked An Yi to find some clever and good-talking people. He personally trained them and sent them to major inns, taverns, and brothels in the capital, where there were a lot of people, and they frantically browsed bad reviews from heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

People have preconceived mentality, and Ma Jin's navy constantly slandered the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, forming public opinion.

This will create a bad impression of the Tang Dynasty in some people's hearts, and thus begin to resist disgust, and even affect their surroundings. This is what people say is awesome.

Ma Jin used this move for this purpose. Even if the effect did not meet his expectations, it would be fine. He just regarded it as disgusting Tong Wanzhe.

Since traveling to Daqian, Ma has become less and less restricted...

………

Sure enough, many customers in the store frowned after hearing the scholar's words. The people who originally bought the heroes of the Tang Dynasty also muttered in their hearts.

Ma Jin's navy was based on a team, with three or five people in each team, and Fu Kong was the captain of this team.

Fu Kong saw that the scholar's words were effective and was about to strike while the iron was hot. He quietly gave the middle-aged man with a dog-skinned hat when he saw him entering the door.

The dog-skin hat received the signal from the captain and began his own performance.

He stood up and shouted, "That's right? I also bought this book of the Legend of the Tang Dynasty, but I couldn't understand it when I got it. I spent so much money in vain and regretted it to death."

Fu Kong plays a show for the dog-skin hat: "Brother, what's going on at this time."

The dog-skin hat snorted, "The book is full of things, it's so foggy that I can't understand. I've read less than half of it, and I've had a headache.

It’s not like the Sui and Tang dynasties. I read the whole article in one go. I still feel that it’s not enough.”

Two people came out to speak out at once, and the customers in the store suddenly felt a sharp decline in their view of the legend of the Tang Dynasty heroes. Many people who were preparing to buy books also gave up their thoughts.

Seeing this, Fu Kong continued to sing with the scholar with a dog-skinned hat... Well... Sanchun, while belittling the legend of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, he also praised the Sui and Tang dynasties and advertised for the lower part of the Sui and Tang dynasties. He was very hardworking.

Half an hour later, Fu Kong and the other two left the pub one after another and met in a small alley next to the pub.

"Captain, let's do another vote while it's getting late." The scholar dealt with Kong Dao.

"Yes, Master Lian said, I'll give you fifty cents when I go to a place. This job is so easy to make, so we won't do more." The middle-aged man with a dog-skin hat said in line with the words.

Seeing that both of them had this intention, Fu Kong nodded and said, "Okay, let's have another vote. Let's go through two alleys before, which is Huji Bathhouse. There are many people taking baths every day, so let's go there."

The scholars and the two had no objection. The three walked towards Huji Bathhouse together, and arrived at the entrance of the alley, consciously separated and walked out one after another.

At the same time, almost the same scenes were happening everywhere in the capital, and the reputation of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty also began to collapse like a cliff-like collapse.

Happy April Fool's Day...
