Chapter 41 Jian Yong’s current situation

Several people were chatting in the street, and Zhang Fei's incident was just an interlude. With Jian Yong's cleverness, he could guess something from the expressions of several people in a blink of an eye.

No longer asking about Zhang Fei's affairs, Jian Yong took the three of them, walked around the main street, found a remote restaurant, and planned to entertain the three of them.

The so-called restaurant refers to a place for eating in a market. There were wine restaurants in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but people here would not always go to wine restaurants.

It’s not that wine shops are expensive or anything like that, but wine shops in this era are a bit like bars in later generations. There is basically nothing to eat and nothing to say, just drink.

Liquor shops in the Eastern Han Dynasty are described by allusions as selling wine on the street, which includes selling wine on the street, including restaurants, restaurants, etc. The main purpose is to make wine and sell wine.

If you want to drink, people who are greedy for alcohol will go to a wine shop. The wine shop will not prepare food and just drink.

Obviously that kind of place is not suitable for entertaining guests.

A huge pottery cauldron, in which all kinds of delicious meats are cooked, including mutton, pork, rabbit, dog, and maybe even mice and voles. They stew in the same pot. Whatever you want to eat, you can cut it into a plate and a half.

Potted.

Folk restaurants seldom sell venison and beef. Most of the cooked chicken and cooked geese sold are dried. Occasionally, the store will buy some wolf meat and wild boar, and occasionally badgers are cooked.

A low table, with several people sitting around it. It is served with pots of rice noodles, rice, corn, and pancakes (noodles), simple and crude, and then accompanied by turbid wine and fruit wine.

After a meal, you can feel nourished and comfortable in various ways.

This was the drinking culture of the Han Dynasty. This was how everyone entertained people, whether in the market place or in the palaces of princes and grandsons.

The wine shop is purely a place for drunkards to satisfy their cravings.

As for when the drinking culture of later Chinese people turned into endless dishes, endless eggs, and enthusiasm for stomach bleeding, it is unknown.

The way Liu Cang drank in the East Village earlier seemed to be a joy, but he was telling you blatantly that he was doing that because he wanted to mess with you. That was a conspiracy, and a conspiracy is also a conspiracy, and it means plotting against you.

.how?

After eating well, filling up, and pouting, it’s time to drink and brag.

Liu Bei originally came to Jixian County to find Jian Yong. None of them were sticklers, and Jian Yong was very good at getting close to people. After some laughter and laughter, even Zhang Fei became familiar with Jian Yong.

Through communication, Liu Cang also learned about Jian Yong's current situation. Now Jian Yong is working as a clerk in the Prefect's Mansion, and he is a non-staff member who rarely sees his boss.

The situations of Jian Yong and Zhang Fei's father are somewhat similar, but Jian Yong applied for jobs in his early years and did garbage jobs that others did not do. After finding that there was no hope of promotion, Jian Yong lived a life of dawdling.

"Haoxuan's evaluation of Liu Yu is quite interesting. I heard that in the early years, because Liu Bo'an asked to build the Barbarian Mansion, the prefect Liu Wei almost had a fight with Guo Xun of the Governor's Office. In the end, Liu Bo'an came forward to mediate, but the cost of building the Barbarian Mansion was paid by the county.

Li and Guo Xun evenly divided the matter."

"Haha, if you put it this way, it's not bad that Xuande said his methods were great." After a few people had eaten, they sat around the table and chatted. When Liu Cang's words were brought up earlier, Jian Yong lazily broke the news.

"The Man Yi Mansion, shouldn't it be built in the capital? There are many counties in and around Jixian County, so Lao Shenzi Man Yi Mansion was built here?" Zhang Fei muttered.

"Haha, he, Liu Bo'an, has such a great reputation among the foreign tribes, how can his governor's office not have a place to receive friends." Jian Yong chuckled, unable to tell the difference between happiness and anger, but hearing him call Liu Yu by his name, he thought:

He didn't like Liu Yu very much either.

Barbarian Mansion, a building where the Han Dynasty allowed foreigners to stay when they received them.

The name of this building is quite interesting. It is not a private derogatory name. It is the name that is famous for it. The Han people call Huns, Hu and Qiang barbarians, which is really just a very normal nickname.

At least the barbarians didn't think this was a problem, but since when did the word become a derogatory term, Liu Cang had no idea.

"Is Xianhe's stay here going well?" Jian Yong smiled happily, but Liu Bei asked worriedly at this time.

"Haha, I have done some writing and miscellaneous things. I have done a lot, and the adults are kind to me. There is nothing that I don't like~" Jian Yong leaned back and put his arms on the ground, as if stretching his body.

"Haha, but it's not very satisfactory~~" Liu Cang chuckled and answered in a loud voice.

"Hahaha, of course!" Jian Yong laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense here. If you want to be wild, don't blame the old man for chasing people away." The laughter of a few people attracted the attention of the store owner. The old man who opened the store was lame on one leg. When he scolded a few people, he was moved by a few people.

Bring a jar of wine.

"Haha, even if Mao'er is old, he dares to call himself old. You, a soldier, don't want to be shy. Okay, we'll just plot quietly, haha."

Liu Cang and others didn't know the details, Zhang Fei glared, Liu Cang frowned, Liu Bei looked at the old man, Jian Yong seemed to be familiar with the store owner, and laughed and teased again.

"Huh, rude young man, I am forty-six this year, why can't I be called old?" The store owner snorted lightly and ignored Jian Yong, minding his own business and cleaning up the restaurant.

The business of the restaurant is not very prosperous. There can be four or five tables of customers under the roof. Occasionally, someone will come with them, and they usually eat something in a hurry and then leave. It is rare for Liu Cang and others to sit around like this.

"Haha, there is a lot of work to be done, so the person who needs to do it for me will naturally not be able to entertain me. This place is more in line with Yong's identity, and I am familiar with the store." Seeing a few people curious about Jian Yong's relationship with the store,

Jian Yong explained with a smile.

"This is so deceiving... Alas~~, Xianhe's talent cannot be found anywhere in the world. Alas~~~!" Jian Yong was laughing, Liu Cang was also laughing, Zhang Fei frowned, and Liu Bei sighed,

There seemed to be tears in his eyes.

"..." Liu Cang looked at Liu Bei in astonishment, he was coming soon? Where did he go?

"It won't be the same no matter where you go? Don't instigate here. One day Xian He really leaves his son to find you, and you won't be able to support him." Seeing that Jian Yong and Liu Bei were looking at each other affectionately, Liu Cang shouted.

Shivering, he interrupted.

As a temporary worker, it's normal to do some rubbish work. After all, you are rewarded for your work. Liu Cang was more miserable than this in his previous life. He himself was not allowed to let himself go.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this day and age, if you are a personal friend, it doesn’t matter how you get along, it all depends on the interests and moods of both parties.

But if personal relationships are not enough, it is really not popular to come to this market to entertain people.

Markets in the Han Dynasty were very open. Except when it came to business and tax matters, the official management of the markets was generally very loose.

There is everything you need for food, drink, and business. It is said that three religions and nine streams coexist in one city. From time to time, people who have fled to various places for various reasons, beggars, thieves, and fugitives will appear here. It is very tolerant, and it can be said to be a chaotic place.

In some wealthy families, entertaining guests will invite them to their homes, where they will eat and drink in a romantic manner and dance with singers and girls to show their closeness.

The prosperous families of the aristocratic families will build some of their own "luxury clubs" in the "city", not for profit, but just for gathering friends to chat and watch the various happenings in the world.

Jian Yong's job was as a scholar, and those who allowed him to take the blame were obviously official figures.

Even if some of these people are poor and needy, they will either not entertain them or not. This is the so-called friendship between gentlemen. When we have more personal relationships, both parties will have similar interests and become good friends who can get along easily.

If you want to entertain, you will also invite people to your home. Depending on the degree of intimacy you want to show, those who cannot support singers and dancers will even use their own concubines to entertain guests. Of course, if you want to attack other people's wives,

, which is basically tantamount to seeking death.

If you have a concubine, you can go to the concubine. If you don't have a concubine, you can go to the concubine if necessary. But not the wife. (Here we should think about why concubines are not taken seriously in this era?)

Okay, that's a bit too much. In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is entertainment or not, nor does the quality of food and drink matter. The key is attitude.

If someone doesn't want to have a close relationship with you, and doesn't want to be accused of being indebted to you, if he invites you to a restaurant for a meal, your favor will be repaid by doing things for him. Be wise and don't bother others with your own affairs in the future.

What Jian Yong said before about being entertained and that this place suited his status was purely self-deprecating.

Because we had known each other for many years, let alone entering the house, no "colleagues" invited him to the court, which gave rise to Liu Bei's various sensibilities.
