Chapter 83 Sooner or later
?The wife of the Duke of Xiyang County, Yuchi, suffered a dying child, was finally blessed by God to give birth to a son of Xiyang County. Yuwen Wen was overjoyed and rewarded two Wenpo who helped deliver the baby. The two heavy wooden boxes containing money were transported to each other's home by carriage.>8__>w-w7.
The next day, Yuwen Wen brought a large box of incense and oil money to the temple near An6 City to burn incense, which alarmed the whole temple to welcome the devout donor in front of the temple gate. According to the pilgrims at the scene, the smoke in the temple was lingering that day. I don’t know how many incense sticks Xiyang County Duke lit in the temple. Another pilgrim said that a little novice monk with a wise name in the temple returned to secular life that day, and the abbot personally presided over the ceremony.
Another day, at noon, outside the gate of Xiyang County Duke's Mansion, the main generals of the new army under Xiyang County Duke came to the mansion with gifts to celebrate his happy son. This was their second time to celebrate. The first time was after the Xiyang County Duke's side room gave birth to his eldest son in early June.
"I will not return until I am drunk today!" Yuwen Wen personally welcomed the guests at the gate. Today, the generals above the New Army's Master and above were congratulated. Yesterday afternoon, Yuwen Wen had sent people to the military camp to bring wine and meat to the "convenience" to let the soldiers drink happily.
Because of the responsibility of assisting in the defense of the six cities, Yuwen Wen invited the generals at noon to avoid any accident in the middle of the night. If there was a sudden incident, the soldiers would not be in a group of dragons and generals.
Yuwen Shiwu led the generals into the main hall, while Zhang Yu led the guards to the side hall for dinner. Except for Xu Shao who went back to Yuezhou, who attended the banquet, all of them were here. When Xu Shao learned that Yuwen Wen was drinking, he asked the housekeepers of the six families to send gifts to congratulate him, because his wife was extremely excited and burned with her bags, Yuwen Tongjun was going to have fun with his subordinates today.
As a warm-up before meals, Yuwen Wen arranged a game in the Archery Hall. The most popular games these days are probably Chpu, holding a spear, throwing a pot, shooting a play, Chpu She, holding a spear, and throwing a pot, so the play is Chpu, which is a competition to shoot archery.
Play shooting and single shooting. Since you want to have fun, it is a team competition - friends shooting. Participants are divided into two friends and each take turns shooting according to the number of arrows they hit. Finally, the number of funds added together. If you have more funds, the winner will win. ﹎ w- w · w`.

Yuwen Wen set two hundred stakes as the lottery, and the loser was to punish three bowls of wine at the beginning of the meal. The generals who attended today were the military leader Chen Wudi. The nine masters including Yuwen Shiwu, Yang Ji, Liang Dingxing, etc., a total of ten people were divided into two friends and five people per friend.
Among the ten people, Shi Wansui's shooting technique was extremely high, so he used to draw lots and score friends, and the distance between the target was 120 steps. Yu Wen Wen did not participate in the competition, so he personally recorded the scores, and the bows and arrows used were all prepared by the mansion.
The scenes are divided into three rounds. Each round is drawn and the friend is divided again. If anyone is unlucky, the friend will lose. If the friend loses, he will have to be punished with nine bowls of wine before the meeting. Then Yang Ji and Chen Wudi become the "only two" unlucky guys.
But others would rather be the unlucky person because they punished the famous wine and wine. There is a lake in Xiangzhou to get water for water. It is called wine and wine, also known as "green wine". This wine has a long history during the Three Kingdoms and became famous all over the world and even used to sacrifice to the Taimiao Temple. Now it is still a tribute wine in the Southern Dynasty.
Brother Chen Wu has a good alcohol tolerance, but Yang Ji, who has always had a good alcohol tolerance in Chang'an, was drunk and unconscious after drinking nine bowls. Yuwen Wen ordered Zhang Yu to lead the servant to carry the weak chicken while the rest of the people who drank six bowls were full of energy. Green ginger was also sold in An6 City, but it was too expensive. They were reluctant to buy it on weekdays. Now, the army's stolen wine is naturally a "slaying".
The maids brought the fragrant dishes. Chen Wudi and others were poor families, usually with dieting, and now they were confused when they saw this dish they had never seen before. They all knew that Yuwen Wen was a wealthy man, so they couldn't help but be amazed at this "big show".
"It's all common dishes in the wine shop, so don't be polite!" Yuwen Wen has been in Chang'an for many years and naturally doesn't think the dishes in front of him are so precious. When he saw that everyone seemed to have no idea how to put the chopsticks, he specially ordered high-end goods: "Come on, this is the rice cooked by cicadas, serve more."
The cicadas are the rice that matures when cicadas are chirping. Yu Jianwu, the Secretary of the Southern Liang Dynasty, once praised the cicadas produced in Xiangfan as "Cicadas that sing in the army, smell the fragrance of Qili". The rice cooked with such rice is crystal clear and fragrant.>>8﹎w=w`w=.
`However, there are many other buns made by Yuwen Wen, which are Wuwei Zhuang.
The dried meat is to cut large livestock such as pigs, beefs, sheep into strips, and then process them. The dried meat is to remove the internal organs, and then process them. The dried meat is to cook fermented black beans with beef and sheep bones. After draining the residue, salt, green onion, pepper, ginger, and orange peel, five flavor seasonings are used to soak meat strips, meat slices or salads. After soaking, it is taken out in the warehouse to dry the shade. The five flavored meat curd made by famous artists is complicated and not something that ordinary people can afford.
The other is Hu Can meat. It is a popular moxibustion method (grilled) food at this time. Hu Can meat is to cut fat white lamb and fat into thin slices, mix well with seasonings such as fermented beans, salt, scallion, ginger, pepper, and pepper, then put it in the washed and turned sheep belly and fill it up and sew it.
Dig a hole on the ground and ignite it to heat it and remove the ash fire. Then put the sheep's belly in. Then put the ash fire on the sheep's belly and then ignite the ash fire for about one stone of rice. It tastes extremely fragrant and beautiful.
Next is the most popular bun of water shield sea bass sashimi. The sea bass is made of fresh four-gilled sea bass transported from Jiangdong, and the sauce is also expensive. Zhuiyi is a kind of fish intestine sauce. It is said that it appeared when he chased the barbarians to the beach during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. This sauce is made of the intestines, belly, and bladder of three types of fish, stone fish, shark, and mullet.
"These are the ingredients that I ordered at Zuixianglou, but I almost couldn't order them. Today I specially invited their chef to the mansion to take care of it. Everyone was still hot." Yuwen Wen didn't feel heartbroken. He didn't eat these things very much on weekdays, of course it was not that he couldn't afford them, but that's not good. If he was used to eating such high-end goods, he was so embarrassed that he went to the military camp to make meals with soldiers?
This time, the wife had a child after a hardship and successfully gave birth to a child, she also wanted her subordinates to share her joy, so she burned money to "set up". Chen Wudi and others were afraid to put on chopsticks when they saw such expensive dishes. Shi Wansui was surprised to see the rich wine and dishes: it was ordered in the wine shop rather than in the kitchen in the mansion?
When Shi Wansui was in Chang'an, he was naturally not short of wine and meat friends. He pushed too many cups on weekdays and told the truth that these wines and dishes in front of him were not as good as the delicacies in Chang'an wine shops. Some of the most important people held banquets in their own houses and made precious dishes with their own chefs.
He always thought that Yuwen Wen's "style" would be very high, and the mansion's pomp was really average. The servants were dressed in ordinary clothes and the maids looked even more ordinary. The tableware and other things were usually not expensive porcelain, and the decoration of the mansion also looked average.
Even these "high-end" dishes on the food table were bought in a wine shop outside instead of being made in their own kitchen, which means that the dietary standard in the mansion was average on weekdays. Shi Wansui thought that Yuwen Wen, as the second son of the general manager of Anzhou, could basically walk sideways in An 6 so much, and it was common to have fun. However, what he heard and saw after entering the mansion meant that the other party didn't care much about these.
Yuwen Wen's military service can be said to be spending money like flowing water, but his own expenses are unusual, which is somewhat inconsistent with the popular saying "Xiyang County Gongcheng spends all his days and is unrestrained".
Shi Wansui glanced at Yuwen Wen, who was attending the seat, and thought to himself: I am willing to spend money. It seems that I can't spend all the money, but the money is spent on training troops. This county office has a lot of plans.
"I won't say anything anymore, I'm all in the wine!" Yuwen Wen picked up a pot of wine and came to the bottom. Seeing this, everyone here naturally brought the pot of wine to the bottom. After drinking too much, they naturally started to drink wine.
Although Yuwen Wen is approachable, Chen Wudi and others dare not go to drink it. After celebrating the delicious food after a few rounds of wine, they asked Yuwen Shiwu, who was famous for "snatching the head".
"I said to Master Yuwen Zhuang, you are not here that night when you rebelled and rebelled in Jiangling City. Master Shi Zhuang led the cavalry to crush the Xinzhou army that had attacked in the south of the city!"
"And there, later when we came out of the tunnel, we almost scared a scene in the bamboo forest!"
"Everyone was worried that night, it was because the master Yuwen Zhuang was happy and happy in An 6. I would have to be fined a few cups!"
Yuwen Shiwu was the master of the horse army and Yuwen Wen, who was around him, so he became the target of everyone's "revitalizing the atmosphere on the scene". Chen Wudi and others planned to think that the master of Yuwen Shun who liked to "snatch the head" in front of him seemed to be less than good at drinking, so 'it's you!'
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Shiwu was thin but had a lot of alcohol tolerance. He followed the man-in-law Yuwen Wen to be free in Chang'an for many years. He was the first to drink in the jar, so he was very drunk. Chen Wudi and others found many reasons to touch the wine and saw that he had a glass of wine but did not change his face. As a result, he had a round fight and was knocked down by the opponent. In a moment, except for Yuwen Wen, Yuwen Shiwu was left with Shi Wansui who was "smiling but not talking".
"Master Shi Zhuang, how many rounds should I go with me?" Yuwen Wen picked up the wine glass and started to challenge. His 'male boy' Yuwen Shiwu cleared all the fish, but he might not be able to deal with the former general who was 'alcohol test' in front of him, so as the boss, he decided to take action himself.
Shi Wansui knew that the royal family minister who had seen big scenes in Chang'an was not easy to meet, so he bowed and begged: "My Duke, I am not worthy of drinking."
"Fifteenth, let's help the masters down to sober up."
After the servants helped the drunk Chen Wudi and others to help him, Yuwen Wen clapped his hands, and Yang Ji, who had just been "unbearable to drink", walked in from outside the door. He nodded to Shi Wansui and went to his original position.
"The Lord Shi Zhuang asked the 15th Biography to have a similar feeling yesterday. Why not eat and talk?" Yuwen Wen raised his glass to continue. He invited wine in the mansion today and said that he had put aside military affairs and claimed that he had changed it to "Imperial Master".
"Since that's the case, I'd better obey my orders than respect." After Shi Wansui finished speaking, he raised his glass with Yang Ji and drank it all.
Today, Yuwen Wen was having a drink with his subordinates and was listening to Shi Wansui's summary of the new army during this period. Since Shi Wansui joined the gang, Yuwen Wen asked him to carefully observe the new army and then express his own opinions and opinions. The purpose of this is to find out the flaws of the new army through the perspective of the other party, a long-standing general.
