Chapter 56 Look, the drunkards of the Tang Dynasty

Zhang Qian would never have thought that the minor changes he made to change the production methods of the people around him were first introduced, when the kind-hearted Ren Da Housekeeper stole the work and reduced the materials. He would never have thought that even the changes after being cut corners by Ren Quan triggered a whirlwind of happiness in the village.

At this moment, he was at his home, holding a pair of panda eyes formed by lack of enough sleep, to entertain three uninvited guests, He Zhizhang, Zhang Ruoxu and Sun Anzu.

The three of them left their old seniors from their house at the Xu hour (9 to 11 o'clock) last night, and they took turns to tell him "sad" that they had just eaten the Chaoshi and came to disturb his difficulties. (Note: Chaoshi, the first meal every day. Two regular meals a day in the Tang Dynasty.)

"Zhisanlang, I did not intend to be this uninvited villain." Sun Anzu was the oldest and had the most "full" reason to disturb him. He only sat down. Before Zijuan brought the servant to cook the tea and delivered it, he explained helplessly, "It was really like I came home with the three spiritual medicines you gave me last night, and suddenly I thought of several good medicines that can cure difficult and complicated diseases. So, I didn't dare to delay this morning. After taking the morning food, I hurried over."

"Oh, my friend, I feel ashamed!" Zhang Ruoxu was very real. Before Zhang Qian could figure out what Sun Anzu wanted to express, he couldn't wait to pull up his sleeves, sweep his face, and act ashamed.

"My generation is a small population, so I took a few more concubines. Last night, Meng Shisanlang gave me the Six-Sheng Dew. After I returned, I casually asked one of the concubines to try it out. As a result, many troubles happened in the inner house. When I woke up in the morning, I was so quarrel that I had to come and ask if the Feng Oil Essence and Six-Sheng Dew could I give me more bottles of the Fengyu and Six-Sheng Dew. Otherwise, there would be too much monks at home, and I would be really annoyed!"

"However, there are bottles that are just filled with Liushen Hualu, and are still on the way to customize them." Zhang Qian held back his smile and whispered to comfort him, "Senior, there is no need to worry. In a moment, I will order Zijuan to free up a few small gourds and prepare some trials for him. When his friend Ren Cong, he will customize the glass bottles from Chang'an City, he will send someone to deliver another batch to him."

"In this way, I'm not polite!" Zhang Ruoxu was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately bowed with a smile, "Although I came in a hurry today, I also asked the servant to bring some Jiangnan specialties. Shisanlang could taste some when he had time. If he thought it was delicious, just say a word to me. Anyway, you and my family are close, so I can send you some more at any time!"

"Seniors are so polite, I feel ashamed of it!" Compared to the 21st century, the ingredients in the Tang Dynasty were definitely scarce. Therefore, Zhang Qian was also very happy to hear that there were specialties in Jiangnan.

"Forget it, they are not ashamed. They have found all the reasons they can find. I won't go around with you!" He Zhizhang is a civil servant, the top scholar who was successful when he was a teenager. He cherishes his face, so he said at the end. "I didn't have time to return to Chang'an last night, so I stayed at Shiweng's house. I read in the middle of the night, and when I read the pleasure, I felt that there was no wine to help you, so I grabbed your Liushen Hualu and drank two sips. As a result, this thing entered the throat and reached the navel. It was really a pleasure! So, I urged him to come to you early this morning to ask for more friends to go back to comfort the wineworms in my stomach!"

"What, you always drink the Six God Flower Dew?" Zhang Qian was shocked, looked at He Zhizhang blankly, and blurted out his words when he asked.

"What, can't I drink that Liushen Hualu?" He Zhizhang's face turned slightly red and asked in surprise, "I saw that the color was as bright as the morning glow, but when I smelled it, it looked like the spring breeze of the peach forest. It should not be any toxic substance."

"Yes, since this thing can be applied to wrists and armpits, if it is poisonous, wouldn't it poison many people?" Sun Anzu quickly took the conversation and added with a smile, "I tasted it with my mouth last night. It was ten times more sweet than Liu Ling's drunkenness, and the aftertaste was long. After a while, there was still heat directly to all the limbs, which was a top choice for conveying medicinal power. If you could take a gourd and soak it with a Yongzhou white flower snake and then soak it, it should have excellent therapeutic effects on strong winds, cramps, fistulas and other diseases. Therefore, I couldn't wait to come and ask for it, but unexpectedly, I met Ji Weng and Shiweng again on the road."

As he spoke, he took out a huge gourd from his sleeve like a magic trick. He handed it to Zhang Qian with his eyes.

‘Okay, I drank the flower dew water as wine, and planned to soak the white flower snake as medicinal wine!’ At this moment, Zhang Qian finally understood the true purpose of the three old seniors, and he was immediately amazed and crying.

He was not 100% sure what liquid was used as the main ingredients for the flower dew in the 21st century. However, the main ingredients for the Liushen Flower Dew and Fengyou Jing that he "copied" were distilled spirits. Therefore, it was not a big mistake for the three old seniors to use Liushen Flower Dew to relieve alcohol addiction.

However, in Zhang Qian's vision, he was about to open a perfume workshop, selling 60 milliliters of each hang of money to make a huge profit. As a result, before the perfume business could be opened, he opened a liquor factory, which was too far from his original intention!

Besides, in addition to Sun Anzu, two other old seniors, in the eyes of later generations, one is known as "the lonely chapter is overwhelming half of the Tang Dynasty", and the other is the well-deserved giant pillar of the sky in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. As a literary predecessor, he promoted Li Bai and Du Fu, and used the ancient artistic conception of calligraphy to guide the cursive saint Zhang Xu and the painting saint Wu Daozi. If these two people were drunk in excess, they would be able to return to the west in advance. Zhang Qian would probably not be able to redeem their sins even if they traveled twenty times again!

You should know that in order to ensure the volatility of the flower dew water, he used a distillation furnace to distillate the base of the wine that was purified several times. Even if the concentration of the wine does not reach the level of pure alcohol in the 21st century, he judged it with his mouth, and it was comparable to the "soft donkey" brought back from Inner Mongolia by his classmates. The three old seniors used to drinking "soft donkey" of more than ten degrees before, and had never been exposed to high-alcohol wine. Now they just blew "soft donkey" toward a bottle with a capacity of about sixty or seventy milliliters. It would be strange if they didn't drink any problems! (Note 2: Stuffed donkey, 70-degree white wine.)

Thinking of the possible sinful consequences of excessive drinking, Zhang Qian felt a little scared. He hurriedly waved his hand and explained loudly: "Senior, senior, don't drink Liushen Hualu again in the future. In addition to peach blossom essence, this thing also contains some musk, borneol and other medicines. It may be harmful to drink it as a wine."

"I actually put aphrodisiac musk. No wonder I felt the heat in my abdomen after I tasted it last night..." Sun Anzu immediately showed his true nature as a medicine fool, and nodded slightly. Then, he quickly looked at He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu, his eyes full of jokes.

"After I returned home last night, I threw Liushen Hualu and Fengyou Jing to my concubine Huiniang and went to bed. I slept until the sky was bright!" Zhang Ruoxu's old face suddenly became as bright as peach blossoms. He turned his head and wanted to cover up.

"When I was studying, I always forgot about everything!" He Zhizhang glared at Sun Anzu's inappropriate look and announced loudly.

"The musk is used to determine the fragrance and let the fragrance of flowers stay on the clothes for longer, and there is no other meaning! Don't misunderstand, three seniors!" Although he has been a virgin for two lifetimes, Zhang Qian once hid more than a dozen g of otaku benefits. Immediately from Sun Anzu's strange gaze and Zhang Ruoxu and He Zhizhang's subsequent reactions, he felt a danger of disaster, and quickly waved his hand to explain loudly.

"Can musk make the fragrance of flowers stick to clothes for longer? What's the reason?" Sun Anzu's attention was immediately diverted by his statement, frowned and digging into the bottom line.

'How can I know! I just saw it on the Internet that distinguishing high-end perfumes from cheap perfumes. An important indicator is to see if there is natural musk inside. Those fake animated fans who use money to make trouble every day for wild cats and dogs, but never care about how many male muskies die for their perfume every year!' Zhang Qian was asked and complained in his heart, but he could only push everything to the master's sect. "I don't know the reason, but I just saw someone in the master's sect using musk to make Liushen flower dew, so I drew a ladle according to the gourd!"

"I copied it again, only knowing the reason but not the reason!" Sun Anzu was so itchy that he scratched his ears and his forehead was so anxious that he scratched his ears and his face. "Shisanlang, what have you learned over the years?! Is it possible that others can't get any chance in their dreams? Could it be that you have used it all for sleeping?"

"Doctor Sun, don't be too harsh on younger generations!" Zhang Ruoxu immediately began to protect his shortcomings and took the initiative to defend Zhang Qian. "The Mohist school is profound and profound. Many people can only learn one of them throughout their lives. Even if Zhang Xiaoyou learned it since he was three years old, he has only been learning for 17 or 18 years. How could he be proficient in everything?"

"You..." Sun Anzu was so anxious that his beard jumped up and down, but he could not refute it.

After Zhang Ruoxu helped Zhang Qian get rid of Sun Anzu's accusations, he suddenly felt that he had made great contributions. With a smile on his face, he whispered to Zhang Qian: "Nephew, there is musk in Liushen Flower Dew, which is indeed not suitable to be drunk as a fine wine. Can you drink that Feng Oil Essence? I tasted its taste yesterday, which is cool and sweet..."

"Don't drink it!" Zhang Qian was so scared that his scalp that he stopped his voice and blurted out, "There is holly oil inside that thing, which is poisonous! Drinking too much can kill people!"

After the words finished, he tasted the second half of Zhang Ruoxu's words. He quickly grabbed the person's wrist and took his pulse on the spot: "Senior, have you really drunk the feng oleifer? How much have you drunk? I don't feel uncomfortable now?"

"No, just a small bottle, just two gulps are over? How much more can I drink?" Zhang Ruoxu didn't understand why he was so nervous, and frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Avoiding the dose to talk about toxicity is equivalent to scaring people." Sun Anzu also felt that Zhang Qian was making a big fuss and shook his head gently, "Eating too much holly oil can indeed cause symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, etc., but taking only a small amount of alcohol can relieve pain, dispel cold, remove blood stasis, and deworm. Your bottle of feng oil can at best put half a dollar of holly oil in it, how can it be poisoned?"

"It should be no problem. I also tasted it yesterday. The taste is not as delicious as the Liushen Flower Dew, but it is a bit quiet..." He Zhizhang hesitated for a moment and told him calmly.

"Three, three seniors have all drunk? No, don't drink them all!" The weather was already very cold, but sweat was rolling on Zhang Qian's forehead. With a bit of luck, he whispered to He Zhizhang, Zhang Ruoxu and Sun Anzu.

"Shh" the three old seniors exclaimed in unison, and no one's eyes were willing to meet his eyes, but they all looked unsatisfied. Zhizhang drank like a boat, sleeping in the well and sleeping under the water. The Tang Dynasty wine fairy He Zhizhang appeared. Character image: a wise and kind elder, an old official, good at protecting one's self-righteousness, and secretly gave the protagonist a lot of advice at the critical moment. Please recommend, collect, and support. The drunkard thanked him.
