Chapter 37

If you don’t talk too much, you can drink a thousand cups of wine.

Li Xiao and Xue Rengui are two people with half of age, and even those with very different identities and status, but the more they talk, they become more and more speculative.

"Get the wine, you must have a good drink today." When Xue Rengui was happy to chat, he asked Xue Wu to get the wine. "Give me the bottle of Sanle Sauce I have treasured."

When Xue Wuyi heard this, his eyes widened. He sat there for a long time, but he had never seen his father talk to any young man so happily. Now his father wants him to take out his treasured Sanle Sauce. This wine is extraordinary. It was the imperial wine that Emperor Taizong rewarded after his father became famous in the Liaodong battlefield.

At that time, I gave me six bottles of Nasan Leju, and now I still have three bottles left. My father was reluctant to take a sip of it. He often took it out and looked at it, and then continued to treasure it.

"Dad, there are only three bottles of wine, why don't you change to Jiannan to roast the spring?" Xue Wu knew that the meaning of this wine to his father was extraordinary.

"The wine is a fragrant smell. When you meet an interesting friend like Saburo, of course you have to drink good wine. Don't be too naughty. Dad is not stingy. Why are you stingy?"

"Okay, I'll go get it now. It just so happened that I'll get some money today and taste the taste of this good wine." Xue Wu smiled and went out.

Xue Rengui said to Li Xiao, "Do you know why Wulang cares so much about this wine?"

"I guess Mr. Xue's wine has a great origin." Li Xiao said. As far as he knows, wine is indeed not cheap these days. A bucket of cheap wine costs dozens of dollars, and the expensive ones are even sold for ten thousand. Moreover, the imperial court often restricts the sale. If it encounters a famine and disaster year, it may be ordered to prohibit the sale of wine among the people to preserve food.

Li Xiao didn't like the wines of this era, because there were not many wines in this era. The distilled high-level wines did not appear, mainly rice wine and ale wine, and there were also a small amount of wine sold from the Western Regions. It was even popular to make wines with mutton. In short, the wines of this era are not very similar to those of later generations.

After drinking it once, Li Xiao was no longer interested.

I heard that Sanlejiu is also a kind of fine wine introduced from the Western Regions and is very expensive. Sanlejiu is said to be a fine wine imported from Persia, and its type is a fruit wine brewed with three kinds of fruits. It is very famous in the Tang Dynasty of Central China and has become a fashionable drink popular among the upper class.

But after all, it is just a kind of fruit wine.

The wine these days is just like the tea these days, and it is not true. Li Xiao does not like the taste of the Tang people.

Xue Rengui sat there, his hands stroking his knees, his eyes were filled with glory, recalling the past of the Liao Dynasty.

"At that time, my family was in trouble. My wife advised me to sign up for volunteers to join Goguryeo in order to achieve fame and fortune, shine the family and restore the glory of the family..."

"At that time, our Lang General Liu Junqiong was surrounded by Goguryeo people, and he rushed left and right, and could not escape. In that crisis, I stood up alone, rode my horse straight to the enemy flag, and shot down the Goguryeo main general with one shot, cut off his head, hung his head on the horse, and let out a long roar. The Goguryeo thief was frightened, so he retreated, and I also successfully rescued General Liu Lang from the siege."

This was a famous battle in the Liaodong battlefield. After this battle, it became famous in the army.

He was also promoted to an officer by General Liu Lang and became his personal army. After that, he followed the army to continue to attack the Goguryeo Army. Under the city of Anshi, 250,000 Goguryeo Army stationed along the mountain to resist the Tang army.

Emperor Taizong personally came to the front and ordered the generals to lead the army to attack separately. In this battle, Xue Rengui was wearing white clothes, holding a halberd and spear, and carrying a double bow on his waist, shouting that he was invincible in the battle. The Goguryeo army was invincible. The Tang army followed up, and the Goguryeo army was defeated and beheaded more than 20,000.

"In that battle back then, our General Lang was the vanguard general, and I was the vanguard of our army."

Speaking of this excitement, Xue Rengui's face looked fashionable.

After that war, Xue Rengui's reputation became even greater, and he was even personally received by the emperor. The emperor gave him two BMWs, forty silk, and ten prisoners as slaves. He also promoted him to guerrilla general and the commander of Guoyi, Yunquan Mansion.

"Mr. Xue, gold will shine everywhere. Xue Guang will fight bravely and will sooner or later make his mark."

"Hahaha, I love hearing what you said. My official position today was shot with one blow. Emperor Taizong praised me for using me, and now His Majesty also appreciated me and used me. Everyone knows that Xue Rengui is different from many noble and noble children. I can sit at the position today, not by any family, but by my own abilities. So, heroes don't care about their origins."

After bringing Sanlejiu, Xue Rengui opened it without saying a word.

"This wine is said to be brewed by Persians using three kinds of fruits called Le, so it is called Sanle Juice. It tastes sour and sweet, but it is better to add some frosting sugar."

Xue Rengui picked up the white sugar that Li Xiao brought, and at least one pound of white sugar was poured directly into the wine jar.

This method of mixing wine with sugar made Li Xiao stare at me. Can this wine still be drunk?

"Boy, you are lucky today. This wine was given by Emperor Taizong when I made meritorious service in Liaodong. Now there are only three bottles left. After drinking this bottle today, there are only two bottles left."

Looking at the sugar-added slurry handed to him, Li Xiao actually didn't want to drink it.

In the end, it was just Xue Rengui's kindness, so he had to drink with his eyes closed.

It is sour, sweet, and has an indescribable strange smell. Anyway, Li Xiao thinks it is not as good as Jiang Xiaobai with Sprite or red wine with Sprite.

But looking at Xue Wu's happy look of breathing, he really wanted to say that he had never seen a good thing before.

"How is it? I've never drunk such a good bar?" Xue Wu said with a stern look.

Li Xiao nodded and said against his will, "I have never drunk such wine."

"Sanlejiu, given by the emperor, treasured by my father. Do you know who last time? Mr. Cheng wants my father to give him this bottle of wine? My father didn't agree in the end, making Mr. Cheng very embarrassed."

"General Cheng Yaojin?"

"Isn't it just that old guy?" Xue Rengui said with disrespect.

"Duke Xue and Duke Cheng are not incompatible?" Li Xiao asked.

"It's not that it's a disagreement. This person sometimes likes to do whatever he wants and rely on his seniority. There's no way. Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. Drinking, it's rare to be happy today, and I'll stop drunk." Xue Rengui raised his glass and said.

Li Xiao sipped in small sips like medicine. No matter what, he met Xue Rengui today and had a good talk. He would have visited the mountain gate in the future and had a backer in Chang'an City.

It is easy to enjoy the cool air with the mountains on your back. Some people in the court are easy to be an official, but Li Xiao didn't think about becoming an official or something. But nowadays, even if he only wants to be a small landlord, he still needs someone to protect him to be safe.

"Sanlang, I like you very much. Otherwise, how about you just come to my right guard?"
