Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 49 Good Wine (for further reading)

After returning to the city, Chen Jin lived an ordinary but fulfilling life: Quenching Yuanshen, practicing sword skills, practicing spells...

In addition to going out to eat, most of the time is spent behind closed doors.Occasionally, Wang Huaiyi would visit and gossip about the market.Su Xiancheng also came to the city, copying scriptures at Ciping Temple in the south of the city, rarely free.

Since he obtained the "Sanlijing" and built the Confucian Temple, Chen Jin has made rapid progress in all aspects, which can be called "a thousand miles a day".

But sometimes you run too fast, and when you reach a certain stage, you should slow down appropriately, accumulate and settle, so that you can polish it.

Now, he felt that he had reached such a stage.

In a blink of an eye, autumn and winter came, and the weather was getting colder, but there was no snow in Lingnan.

There was no charcoal fire in the house, Chen Jin sat on the bed, looked at the empty money bag and sighed: "This is all spent."

Last time Gu Leyou gave almost 200 taels of silver, which is a huge sum of money for ordinary people and can be used for a long time.But in Chen Jin's hands, there are more than three meals a day, and there is no pleasure in every meal, and it costs money like water.

It is a terrible thing to sit and eat, and it is even more terrible to have no money in hand.

Time to go out and make money.

Chen Jin thought of the employment options offered by his uncle: one is to return to the old Qiuzhuang, which is tantamount to gnawing on the old.But he has been eating at his grandfather's house for more than ten years, and he would feel ashamed if he continued to eat;
One is to go to my second uncle's business to help out, but what can I do there?In the eyes of the second uncle and the others, after all, it was just taking care of the younger generation;

The remaining one was introduced to the yamen as a secretary.

Don't underestimate the "officials". Although they are not as good as formal officials, they are also members of the public family. I don't know how many people are desperately trying to squeeze in.

Chen Jin retained his reputation as a scholar, which is the basis for entering the Yamen as an errand.

The most important thing is my uncle's contacts and various relationships.

Going to work in the Yamen is not only for making money, but also for other considerations.

If you want to reverse the case for a professional teacher, it is difficult to find loopholes and clues by going around in circles outside, you need to go inside.

This could be an opportunity.

When he was about to find his uncle, someone came up the mountain, but it was not Gu Leyou, but Taoist Liu Yuan:

"My lord, Brother Guanzhu sent me to bring you wine."

Chen Jin was delighted when he heard the wine: "Is it brewed?"

"Well, the first batch wasn't much, only about ten catties."

In front of Chen Jin, Liu Yuan was very respectful and took out a green leather gourd.

This gourd is not big, the mouth of the gourd is inlaid with sapphire, it has a kind of gentle and delicate, it is obvious that a lot of effort has been put into it.

Liu Yuan introduced again: "This is not an ordinary gourd. It has been sacrificially refined. Although it is not a real magic weapon, it can be used to hold wine and water. It can hold more than ten catties at a time."

Chen Jin took it, and couldn't put it down: "If you have the heart, please convey my thanks to your senior brother for me."

Then asked about the situation on the mountain.

Liu Yuan replied: "It's pretty good, we live in peace with the immortal family. Brother Guanzhu worked hard and was busy practicing, and I also learned some spells."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "That's good."

Gu Leyou's temperament is indeed a bit out of character, but after going through so many things, now the prodigal son has finally turned around.

After talking for a while, Liu Yuan took his leave and hurried out of the city to return to the Taoist temple.

Chen Jin looked at the gourd, tossing it over and over again, the more he looked at it, the happier he was, he took out another porcelain cup and poured a glass of wine.

The wine has a clear aroma and a pleasant color. Take a sip and taste it slowly, but the taste is still familiar.

Good wine!

The name of this wine is "Duobao Wine". Just by looking at the name, it is very rough and meaningful. It is brewed with more than ten kinds of medicines.According to Gu Leyou, this is one of the true biography of Taoist Izumo.

For the small Taoist temple, the true transmission is not only the method of Taoism, but also some life skills, such as sword casting and wine brewing.The manufactured products are quite good no matter for personal use or for sale.

After drinking a glass of wine, he used the pottery technique to hide the gourd, and went out to find his uncle.He has never been there before and doesn't know the path, but just ask someone.

……

"Xiao Lang, I didn't expect you to persist until now."

Qiu Bugui was also drinking, he didn't eat any meat or vegetables, and there was only a plate of fried peanuts on the table.Eating a peanut and taking a sip of wine, he seemed to be enjoying himself: "You live in the city, you don't do anything, and you never go back. With that little money, how can you survive?"

Chen Jin replied: "I have sold a lot of books."

"Sell books?"

Qiu Bugui was a little surprised: "You love books so much, how could you sell them?"

Chen Jindao: "In the current situation, I can't go to school, and I can't take the imperial examination. It's useless to keep the books. It's better to sell them for money. Besides, I've read those books, and I basically remember them here. They are just for display on the bookshelf. That's all."

As he spoke, he pointed to his head.

Qiu Bugui was taken aback, and laughed, "Xiao Lang, the fact that you can say these words shows that you really have to grow up."

He stood up, walked over, and slapped Chen Jin on the shoulder as a compliment.

After taking a shot, I found something wrong: "Hey, you seem to have become stronger."

Now, Chen Jin feels that it is necessary to show his "strength" properly, to impress his uncle, and to pave the way for the future: "I have practiced martial arts."

Qiu Bugui looked him up and down: "Not bad...it's just a pity that I only want to practice martial arts now."

Martial arts practice is hard work. It takes time to accumulate and persevere. If you start late, you will be late.

Chen Jin said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'Big talent is late blooming', maybe I am that one."

Qiu Bugui was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay, I hope you can become a master."

Sitting down, he asked Chen Jin to sit down again, and asked, "Are you looking for me today?"

"Uncle, last time you said you could recommend me to the Yamen."

"Ha, you finally decided to come out and do something."

Chen Jin said honestly: "I have no money to use, I have already reached the crown, I can't go back to the village to eat old every day."

Qiu Bugui slapped the table: "This is what people say! Xiao Lang, a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, what can he rely on? What can he rely on? Career and money. Not to mention ordinary people, even monks must have temples Taoism, without those industries, is a wild monk and a wild Taoist priest, with no way of life. The same is true for martial arts. The so-called ranger, who is at home everywhere, is actually a jobless vagabond and a rootless duckweed. The real heroes in the world, heroes, which one does not From the estate?"

Chen Jin: "..."

Unexpectedly, my uncle, who usually looks majestic and quiet, can say such a big truth.

Qiu Bugui's heart was really agitated. He had a lot of dissatisfaction with Chen Jin in the past. In the final analysis, he still hated iron.At that time, Chen Jin read dead books and was too pedantic and old-fashioned. Even if he entered the official career with a title on the gold list, he would not be eaten to the bone in the officialdom with such a temperament, and he didn't even know how to die.

Now that Chen Jin is able to get enlightened, it is exactly what Qiu Bugui has always hoped to see, he only has such a nephew.

"Come and have a drink with uncle."

"it is good."

Chen Jin also learned to eat peanuts and drink wine. The wine is a bit spicy, but it is not as mellow as spirit wine, but it tastes special right now.

When drinking, what you drink is not the wine, but the atmosphere.

Good wine!
