Chapter 135 Knowledge of Ancient Chinese Famous Wines
It feels like in the blink of an eye, May has already passed by in a hurry.Cheng Xia took care of Yang Dalang for more than half a month, until the time passed slowly and hurriedly into June, which was quite hated by literati and elegant guests. Yang Dalang's chest injury was almost healed, but his right leg still couldn't recover freely. A few days ago Yang Dalang still tried to walk, but he couldn't hold on for a moment, and then he collapsed crookedly, and Cheng Xia, who was angry, scolded him severely, and Yang Dalang didn't want to be brave anymore.

Early in the morning, the sky outside was only dimly bright. When Cheng Xia opened the door, he could still feel a little bit of scorching heat blowing in the breeze. Cheng Xia couldn't help feeling again. coming.

In modern times, Cheng Xia still liked the sixth month of the lunar calendar, because compared to the solar calendar, when the seventh month is more than a good time for vacation, she can wander around in the north and south. Although it is hot, it can't hinder her restlessness. divided heart.

Although Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty once said "the rain in the summer of June" and "the steaming of June is too prosperous", Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty also said "the light of June is washed away", and Shi Shifan said "beside the fire in June "Sit", or "June is scorching like a fire gathering", "June is burning fiercely", "Volcanoes should be hotter in June", etc., etc., all of which are talking about the disgusting and hotness of June,
But right now, Cheng Xia glanced at the extremely quiet courtyard outside, and she was a little happy that June had finally entered, because at the end of this month, she was going to return the 50 taels of silver to the Chen family, and then moved out.Cheng Xia was looking forward to the vast avenue in front of him.

Yang Dalang was still asleep, and Xiaolong was carried back to his room by Lin Xiu to sleep a while ago. Lin Xiu was embarrassed to say that the child had disturbed him for so long, but now that the eldest brother is in much better health, he can no longer affect the relationship between the two of them. .Cheng Xia knew that Lin Xiu had misunderstood, but she didn't want to explain.

Taking advantage of Yang Dalang's sleeping time, Cheng Xia simply boiled some white porridge, added finely minced meat and some shiitake mushrooms, and it tasted extremely delicious.There are still a lot of pumpkin cakes made last night, Cheng Xia directly steamed them and took them out to eat, and when he finished them, Yang Dalang also woke up.

Lin Xiu's breakfast is also ready. Since Chen and Yang's headhunters have completely separated, Chen and Lin Xiu cook breakfast by themselves. Cheng Xia is still with Yang Dalang, but Cheng Xia often sends it to the main house. Just go get some rice noodles.

That day Lietou Yang swore that the Chen family would starve to death without him. It doesn't matter, I really think of myself as a sweet pastry.

Since they separated, Headhunter Yang and Cuihua really settled down in the house where the sundries were kept. Cheng Xia didn't understand at first, thinking that Cuihua had savings, not to mention buying a small house, just It doesn't cost much to rent one in the village, so why just stay in this grocery store?

Later, Cheng Xia overheard Cuihua and Yang Lietou whispering and realized that if they didn't leave, the family would be their part. Once they left, they would lose their support and the qualification to snatch the property. .

Cheng Xia scoffed coldly at the time, Cuihua is a woman with a strong ability to talk about dreams.

Cheng Xia withdrew her thoughts and couldn't help laughing seeing Yang Dalang eating with gusto.It's really not Cheng Xiakua. For half a month, Cheng Xia took care of Yang Dalang with delicious food and drink every day. As for him, he just lay on the bed and did nothing. When the wound healed, he would read on the bed. To breathe, Cheng Xia also made a simple wheelchair for Yang Dalang.

When Yang Dalang saw Cheng Xia put something called a wheelchair in front of him, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He couldn't imagine how much he didn't know about this woman. She knew everything.

However, with the wheelchair made of bamboo, Yang Dalang is much more convenient. He can also go out to bask in the sun by himself, instead of always being stuffy in the room and suffocating.

The neighbors were very curious when they saw the thing Yang Dalang was sitting on, and came to ask Cheng Xia how to do it. Cheng Xia didn't hide it, and explained all the simple steps and the key points. As for others, they have to do it for themselves. , or take it to the market to sell, Cheng Xia doesn't think about it, anyway, it is good to benefit others, so it should be regarded as accumulating virtue.Although Yang Lihua was so angry that she could make a lot of money with this.

After breakfast, Cheng Xia helped Yang Dalang to sit in the wheelchair with great effort, then stretched his waist and breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Dalang had gained at least ten catties in half a month, and he could see the ruddy and tenderness of his face every day. healthy.

Cheng Xia just wanted to push him out to have a look, the weather was fine today, but just as he arrived in the yard, he saw that kid Eucommia entering the fenced yard of the Yang family with a bottle of wine in his hand, Cheng Xia frowned suddenly, and the smile on Yang Dalang's face was even bigger. It stuck directly on the face.

"Hey, let me tell you what's wrong with you two. Seeing me is like seeing a ghost. I'm so scary." Du Zhong said to himself, put the bottle in front of Yang Dalang and raised his eyebrows triumphantly, " How about it, do you smell it, the good pine wine, I specially found it for you from Beijing, er, that is interesting enough." After Du Zhong finished speaking, he turned his head and stuck out his tongue/head, patting his chest with lingering fear , It's so dangerous, I almost slipped my mouth.

"You got this thing after you haven't seen it for half a month?" Cheng Xia said with disgust while covering Yang Dalang's lap with a thin blanket.Although it is early June, Yang Dalang's leg injury cannot be exposed to the wind, so he must be cautious.

"Hey, hey," Du Zhong sighed heavily, "Don't be ignorant, this is good wine, okay, pine wine." Du Zhong snorted coldly and looked at Yang Dalang, meaning, look, you always praise The wife is a country woman, and she doesn't understand this.

Cheng Xia was busy stuffing the corner of the blanket for Yang Dalang, so naturally she didn't see Eucommia's eye contact with Yang Dalang, she just muttered a few words, "Sine mash wine is so quiet in Zhaotan, and it's a good time to hang you in the middle; White jade dust in the courtyard of the ruler; for this, if you want to stay with you, you will stay overnight, and you will have a romantic date with poetry and wine."

Cheng Xia snorted. Pine mash wine is just pine wine. It originated in Tang Dynasty and flourished in Tang Dynasty.In modern times, it is comparable to Dutch gin, and it is also a must for meals and bar cocktails.

Du Zhong hurriedly picked out his ears, crouched beside Cheng Xia in disbelief, and carefully stretched his ears to listen, "Say it again."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xia got too close, and Yang Dalang stretched out his hand to push him away. Du Zhong's body was unbalanced when he was squatting, and Yang Dalang pushed him, and he fell to the ground directly.

Du Zhong simply sat on the ground and cried aggrievedly, "You two are bullying me together. And you," he pointed at Yang Dalang, "you still pushed me, you don't know that you have grown up like a pig during this time, so Great strength." Du Zhong said dissatisfied.

Cheng Xia was directly amused by him, Yang Dalang used to be so thin, but now he has only gained a few catties, at least he can reach the state that a normal person should have, why is he like a pig in the mouth of Du Zhong.

Mrs. Chen heard the news and went out to look. Seeing Eucommia sitting on the ground crying, she quickly helped him up, and patted the dirt on his body considerately, "You're back?"

Du Zhong hummed, and continued to stare at Cheng Xia with dissatisfaction, "Do you know pine wine?"

Cheng Xia smiled, spreading her hands in Du Zhong's expectant eyes, "I don't know."

puff!Du Zhong wanted to vomit blood again, seeing Yang Dalang and Cheng Xia looking at each other and smiling, he was so angry that Du Zhong stood in front of Cheng Xia, "Tu Su Wine."

Cheng Xia listened to Du Zhong's incoherent words, looked down at Yang Dalang, Yang Dalang chuckled, "He's testing you, so you can ignore him."

"Oh," Cheng Xia nodded obediently.

Du Zhong was turned around in anger, his eyeballs rolled around, and he suddenly had an idea, "Brother, sister-in-law doesn't know that I won't laugh at her, just remember someone once said that my sister-in-law can know a delicacy if I casually say it. Good wine can be considered as a kind of food, but the result is that I don’t know what to do. Hey, big brother, don’t boast so much in the future, it’s easy to slap your face.”

Cheng Xia knew that he was an aggressive general, but he was still surprised by Yang Dalang's confidence in himself.So she raised her eyebrows and looked at Du Zhong, "Isn't it Tusu wine? The title of the book is more elegant, and the taste of Tusu in the wine shop is more familiar; lazy to ask Yu Lei in front of the door, and like to drink Tusu after people. Tusu wine is drunk during the Spring Festival It is also called Suijiu. It is rumored that it was created by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the late Han Dynasty. As for the formula, rhubarb, Atractylodes macrocephala, Guizhi, Fangfeng, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Aconitum, Fuzi and other traditional Chinese medicines are soaked in wine. I am wrong. ?”

Du Zhong suddenly became interested, "Prajna wine."

"Prajna wine is cold and cold, and it is easy to wake up after drinking a lot of people. It has been mellow for a long time, and it becomes crystal clear; when it is reduced to Ji Ruantu, it is moved and honored. It is not only offering sacrifices to the temple of heaven, but also invited guest stars." Like Xindalu, he suddenly smiled, "As for the more famous court tribute wine, it should be Jiuyunchun wine, Henian tribute wine, Zaoji wine, Ling wine, Hongmao wine, lamb wine, Xinghuacun Fen wine, five Jiapi wine, chrysanthemum wine, and Tongshengjin shochu."

Cheng Xia had heard his mentor talk about it many times that these top ten court wines are hard to find in the market now, and he was very regretful in his words, and it was hard to taste the wonderful taste.

While listening to Cheng Xia's words, Du Zhong put his hands behind his back and gave Yang Dalang a thumbs up. Now he can completely understand why Shao Chen is attracted to such a girl.

Du Zhong looked at Cheng Xia with a smile, "Sister-in-law, aren't you a girl born and raised in Qingxian Village? How do you know so much?"

"Oh?" Cheng Xia looked up at Du Zhong meaningfully, "Aren't you a young man born and raised in Huangdun Village, how can you taste Jiangsu's Sixi dumplings and get the unique pine wine in the north? "

"Cough," Du Zhong raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed lightly, looking away uncomfortably, "Sister-in-law, what can I make delicious for lunch?"

Seeing his cowardly look, Cheng Xia couldn't help but sneered, and wanted to think about what to eat for lunch, but when she saw Cheng You hurried to the door of Yang's house, she said out of breath, "Second sister, mother told you to go back home. home."
