Chapter Fourteen: Divide and Strike, Businessman's Plan (3)
That day, Yin Qin left Zhao State and headed straight for Chu State. He still led the team of carriages, but I don’t know what he did with his treasure this time.
It is said from all countries that the people in Lanling Chu are simple and delicious. On this day, Lanling welcomed a big wine merchant.
Yin Qin led his followers to open up a large open space in the crowded city, and quickly set up a platform and organized it.
‘Dongdongqiang…Dongdongqiang’, a loud sound of gongs rang out from the stage.
Seeing that more and more onlookers were watching, I waved my hand diligently and saw the sound of gongs and drums stopped.
He bowed his hands, bowed to the next stage, and stood up and said, "My fellow villagers, Yin passed by this precious place in business. Today, he was destined to be together. Since he was destined to be together, Yin gave him all kinds of fine wines and mysterious things from his hometown. He set up a special game and won two games in three rounds."
There were many people in the audience who were very enthusiastic when they saw a scholar's attentiveness and felt very bored. When they left, they heard the word "Fine Wine" and turned around. The eyes were already green, and even more so, all kinds of things were all, and the waterfall was falling three thousand feet down.
Someone immediately shouted, "What is the rule? How to win the wine? Let's announce it quickly." After looking for a loud voice, a burly man with a rosacea was patting his big belly and shouting at the stage. The man was anxious on both sides.
Yin Qin cleared his throat and coughed, "The competition is divided into two types: one is the literary test, and the other is the martial arts test. The two competitions are divided into three levels. Those who pass the first level can get a pot of 'Tu Su'. Those who pass the second level can get a pot of 'Qiu Lu Bai' and those who pass the three levels can get a pot of 'Monkey Brew'. In addition, there is another point, those who pass the civil and military affairs can get a glimpse of mysterious things. If, very outstanding, mysterious things can get a portion of ten parts."
Before he finished speaking attentively, "hiss..." the people who took a breath of cold air began to discuss it.
"'Tu Su' is said to be the health-preserving medicinal wine of Master Shen. It can remove cold air in the body and has miraculous effects on avoiding plague. The prescription has long been lost. Today, it can not only be seen, but also win one."
"There is also the 'Autumn Dew White', as the name suggests, brewed with autumn dew. The dew in autumn is already scarce. No matter how much manpower and material resources are spent, it is still something that is hard to come by. How could this little businessman do such a big deal?"
"What's more, 'monkey brewing' is rare. It is said that it is made by monkeys. In winter, various fruits are stored in tree holes to reserve food. Because monkeys are animals, they can find trees that can store fruit for a long time, and then hide them secretly. After winter, the fruits are washed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and they will become a kind of tree hole fruit wine, which the locals call it 'monkey brewing'. This wine is even rare. What is the origin of this merchant? He even took action."
"Oh, what are these? Do you still remember the highlight of the next one. Mysterious thing. I'm very curious," said a man shook his folding fan away and shook his head.
After listening to the discussions of everyone in the audience, Yin Qin knew that it was already time. He bowed and said to everyone in the audience: "Who can you dare to come on stage to try it out."
The house was in full swing, and a person from the stand turned and left quietly. Except for being attentive, no one noticed the movements here.
"I'd like to go on stage to try it." The answer brought back his attentive gaze. It turned out that this man was the rosacea man just now. While he was jumping, the man went on stage.
Yin Qin asked hurriedly: "Brother, should you be a literary or a martial arts test?"
The rosacea man muttered loudly: "I can't learn to write a pen, my strength is to fight and kill."
Yin Qin answered, "It turns out that this brother is in the martial arts test. The martial arts test will be better than the three people behind me."
Following his diligent words, everyone looked up at him and looked behind him. It turned out that the three tight muscles who had just seen were actually the candidates for this martial arts examination.
"Yin San, in the first game, you will have a competition with this brother." Yin Qin went to sit aside and ordered.
Thus, only Yin San and Rosacea were left on the stage. The two saluted each other and made a "please" gesture, and then attacked the other party in a thunderous posture.
The fist is at the flesh, and the afterimage is in the air, making it look so powerful that the two of them are back and forth. During the rounds, Yin San seems to be invincible and is in a desperate situation.
When he retreated again, Yin San bowed and said, "I'm giving up."
Attentive again came to the stage and announced loudly: "In the first round, Brother Chen won." Brother Chen said this rosacea.
"Brother Chen, this is the 'Tu Su' in the first round. Are you going to continue the competition or..."
"Gudong Gudong..." The man surnamed Chen couldn't wait to drink it all in one go, his face full of fascination, and his aftertaste was endless.
The man surnamed Chen shook his mouth and swayed and got off the stage. Yin Qin then squinted at everyone and smiled.
"Haha~ Who else can I try it on the stage?"
"Haha~ I'm late. I want to give it a try next Wenbi."
A servant accompanied several people, a kind-hearted old man touched his white beard and asked with interest with diligence.
The scholar who had shaken the paper fan saw the old man's eyes suddenly magnified, and he could put an egg in his mouth, and took back the legs that were about to go on stage.
Among the escorts, Attitude discovered the returning servant who had been wither, with a sincere smile on his lips. He saluted to the old man and said, "Old man, this is just the beginning. You are not going to be late in the future. Please come to the stage."
"I wonder what kind of competition did the old man participate in?"
"I am old. My arms, legs and feet are not in control, but my brain is still quite flexible. Let's try it out today."
"Old man, please listen to this first question: "Tu Su Wine" as a pretext, write three poems."
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Listen, my first song is 'I didn't realize that the old generals are coming together, and I feel even more sad and together. I am also embarrassed to make the young man lonely and shy.'"
"The second poem: 'Life is about to end with the years, and I forget everything in the world. I will never stop dreaming of Su Su, and I will be on the lantern at night."
"The third poem: 'I drank Tu Su for the last year, and I didn't realize that it's over seventy years."
"Okay, okay, okay, the old man is really good." One after another, there were cheers.
Yin Qin stepped forward with a serious look and bowed, "The old man has a brilliant literary talent, and this first question has been passed. I will give you a pot of 'Tu Su Wine'." And the old man's poem is beautiful, and it is inevitable that the coldness is in his heart, and he still needs to be calm."
The old man neither nodded nor shook his head. He asked Yin Qin: "What kind of teaching is this second question?"
Yin Qin hit a soft nail, didn't care, and smiled and said, "This is the second question..."
