Chapter 87 The Night of Candles in the bridal chamber
The groom and the king were proud of the spring breeze, and the cooking skills made Renzong happy. Lord Bao Zheng said, "The side is hidden. I didn't know that the king had such skills."
While thinking about the vegetable fragrance between his lips and teeth, Wang Anshi answered, "Don't say you don't know. My own father doesn't know. He has been outside for more than a year, and he should have met a master's advice."
Wang said to several adults, "I specially added a few more chefs, and I will send one to each family to manage the meal."
Lord Bao Zheng nodded: "You have a heart."
Out of this Tianzi No. 1 room, a toast from room to room. When you get to Room 8, you will be in a good time. It is the brothers who are close to Wang, Zhong Needle, Yuan Ze, He Libo, Li Gefei, Shen Kuo, Fan Pure, Su Shi, Su Zhe and others. These people are about the same age, and they are young.
When Wang arrived here, he began to be laughed at: "If it weren't for this wedding banquet, it would be good, but it seems that there is one section missing." I don't know who said that.
The king was surprised that he was thoughtful everywhere. Why were there any omissions? Someone said, "Worship the high hall, don't you want to enter the bridal chamber? Is there no bridal chamber here? Everyone laughs
Shen Kuo laughed and said, "I remember a poem: The family must hold a new fire and light a lonely lamp to illuminate the bridal chamber. Do you think this poem should be changed if it doesn't come?
The king laughed and responded: "The family cooks the coal fire, and the beautiful rivers and mountains are all bridal chambers."
When everyone saw that he was so funny, it was even more lively. Su Shi wrote a poem: "A spring snack is worth a lot of money. The flowers have fragrance, the moon and the shade, the sound of the pavilions is quiet, and the Qianqiu courtyard is heavy at night."
Seeing that Su Shi was so improvised, the brothers recited poems and drank, and drank and laughed even more happily.
Zhong Zhi said, "If there is nothing, there is always something new. If there is something fun, call some of our little brothers."
Wang took this opportunity to say, "Okay, I'm just having a strange idea. I should discuss with several people in the house some other day."
Everyone's banquet dispersed, and their intentions were still not enough. Cui Fu took care of the original Renhe Building. Now in the Jinxiu Building, Wang Bian cooperated with the family to return to Meyer's house.
As soon as she entered the house, someone reported that the princess of Goryeo sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. When He Liba heard this, he immediately went out to chase the person who gave the gift. Wang Bian naturally thought of it, but whether he was a real princess or Miss Li Enxi was a joke. There are more important things today. That's the bridal candle.
With joy in his heart, he quickly walked into the inner house, opened the door and saw the moon sitting at the head of the bed. It was Guixiang sitting on the edge of the bed, lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes to be a newcomer.
The candlelight reflects the red and shy face, and the idle flowers are light and fragrant.
Even if the beautiful words of ancient and modern times are used, I can't describe the mood of the king at this moment, and I just want to take the delicate person into my arms. That's exactly: When the jade body was tossing and turning, the shameful brocade was matched by the mandarin duck.
On the wedding night, at the time of the bridal chamber, skip 5,000 words
After the wedding banquet next to the king, everyone in Bianjing knew that the imperial "Jinxiu Tower" was specially used for the coal cooking of Jinxiang Mansion, and the dishes made were unique, and even Emperor Renzong was full of praise. The coal supply of Jinxiang Mansion exceeds the demand. If any restaurant also uses Jinxiang Mansion's coal to cook, it will give the food a price.
And the business of Jinxiu Building is not good. If guests come a little late, they have to wait for their seats. What's more, on any auspicious day, it is always uncertain who will go to several tables to set up a wedding banquet. There are also several boxes from Tianzi No. 2 to Tianzi No. 9 upstairs. It turned out to be a booking table from May to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Room No. 1 of Tianzi has never been an outsourcing table. After all, it is the place where Emperor Renzong is used by Weifu. Some people dare to sit next to the king and dare not take it.
From the 2nd to the 8th, they are the people who dream of being an official and have a good time. In Room 9, there are often daughters waiting to be married. They go there to the engagement banquet and want to marry a good official.
The continuous supply of coal from Jincheng County has been sent to the capital. Which people still cook with charcoal, then it is OUT.
The Jinxiangfu coal farm in the northwest of Bianjing City is busy. The teahouse in Biandongnan has also begun to be built. Vendors all came to buy group tea, and there was only loose tea left in the warehouse. Different grades of loose tea.
The king ordered someone to seal one of the scattered teas with jasmine. Lu Shenyan continued to go to Jianzhou to purchase. Lu Shenyan asked, "The use of this palace and the tea shop are in short supply. Only this loose tea is still enough."
Wang said, "Of course, the profit of this loose tea is higher than those two."
Lu Shenyan curled his lips with He Libo. It was still piled up with goods. Instead of letting people process it, he had to enter loose tea. However, since the prince said it, he would do it.
Wang is waiting, waiting for the little brothers to gather together, and also waiting for Lu Shenyan to come back this time, and he is still waiting for his customized teapot and teapot to be sent to the capital. At the same time, Wang next to choose a teahouse in Jincheng, which is the same as the last decoration of Renhe Building (now called Jinxiu Building). Cover the whole building with a cloth.
When the king was covered like this, it was rumored that the capital opened, and the prince of Meyer's house had a new way to play. Now the king's hands and feet will be imitated. For example, when the king was in the coal yard that day, he said that the luck of coal was still used by the boat. As a result, the popular saying now is not to say hello, but to benevolent brothers and brothers.
If Wang went to the street to pick up a vendor's object and look at it for a while, when he left, someone would ask around the vendor, "What did Mr. Wang say just now?"
Like the new clothes under the moon, if the style of embroidery changes slightly, it will soon be quietly popular in the capital. It seems that Wang is the representative of fashion and the vane of the trend.
As soon as he covered the teahouse, the little brothers came. The king invited them to the wing of the Hall of Meyer. As soon as he came in, Su Shi was stunned: "I don't drink. What are you doing with such a big table?"
Wang asked his brothers to sit down with a smile and said, "Please have some tea today."
Seeing everyone sitting down, Wang Zong did not hesitate to shake the fan and said, "The previous little brother went to Jianzhou. There was a local habit of drinking tea, not quietly and fragrant medicine to make dough cakes; it was leaf tea brewed. This is similar to what Yuan Ze asked before, in my fantasy. I'd like to invite you to taste this new drinking method.
Yuan Ze Zhongzhen and others looked at each other and smiled. Sure enough, there was a new trick next to the king. The king clapped his hands and came into the maid. Everyone's eyes lit up, and at the same time, they showed a look of surprise.
I saw the maid next to the king. First, she put on a small red mud stove. Everyone was stunned. It was summer, and it was not cold for a long time. Moreover, the small red mud stove was much smaller than the ordinary stove. There were one or two coal cakes and fire burning in it.
Look at the maid again. She is slim and watery, with a light green long-shirt and Confucian skirt. She is only fifteen or sixteen years old. She is very white, especially the jade finger Qianqian. The "tea pot" (also known as sand cho) made of sand and mud is boiled in water. The tea pot is very light. As soon as the water is opened, the small lid will be lifted automatically. There are bursts of noise.
Everyone saw that the maid's fingertips rushed into the empty pot like fresh and skillful boiling water, which was called a "warm pot". The water of the warm pot was poured into the tea boat; the tea was put into the teapot with a teaspoon and funnel; then the boiling water was poured into the pot, until it was full, and the bamboo chopsticks scraped off the tea foam of the pot, immediately poured it into the tea boat or tea brewed, and then poured it with boiling water. Cover the tea cover with boiling water to keep the temperature inside and outside the pot consistent
Seeing her turned upside down, everyone didn't know what tricks Wang was doing. They just saw Wang's leisurely appreciation. Then the maid waited for the tea to be soaked with a pair of jade hands. She used the teapot and the tea that had just warmed the tea to clean the teacup in the tea boat - this is a small teacup smaller than the wine cup (not even the teapot itself). The size of a fist).
When making the first brew of tea, the pot runs along the edge of the tea boat for several weeks, like "visiting in the mountains and rivers", and finally arrange the warmly washed teapots and pour them back and forth in turn, which is like a "river patrol",
The tea cup was slow, and the maids served the tea one by one, then smiled and waited back.
Wang looked at the stunned crowd and smiled and made a gesture of invitation. When everyone tasted tea, Su Zhe couldn't help praising: "Minzhong tea is the best in the world, and you don't know how to work."
The king smiled and said nothing. Su Shi looked at the maid and looked at the tea, and also followed: Jiaming has always been like a beauty
Zhong Pin asked, "Brother, it seems that you are going to sell tea like this in the teahouse, which is very exquisite and unique. I just think that if you open your business, it will be as hard to find a beautiful building.
"Yes." Everyone echoed Zhao Zhongzhen's words and said
Yuan Ze shook his head and said seriously, "Brother Xian, I really didn't expect that this loose tea could drink such a kung fu and taste. This tea can be drunk on the word Jing. If the business is booming, there will be too many people and noisy, and you will lose the artistic conception of tea tasting.
Wang Bing always smiled and said nothing. He looked around at almost all the people in the history of the Song Dynasty. He wanted to start with this teahouse and weigh his influence.
The king knows that the influence is not about novel clothes, cooking skills and new inventions. He said, "What I said at the previous Zhongzhen banquet was that it's meaningless for me to do something fresh and famous by myself. Brothers, I'm next to Xiao Wang without your support.
Shen Kuo said, "Don't be a good job. Look at us. The officials are only five grades, and the positions are also all deserters. How can I help my brother?
Zhong Pin and the Su Shi brothers also said, "It's not the main thing to make money, but to make money."
Wang said, "Guys, I plan not to open my teahouse to the public."
"What?" Isn't that really not profitable?" The brothers didn't seem to understand
Wang nodded: "It's not only external, but you are also shareholders. You don't need to invest. How about making everyone's fame and fortune?"
Everyone looked at each other in front of each other, and I don't know what's going on with the king. Wang said, "This teahouse is famous Yunge, which only sells members for the whole year. The membership fee is ten taels of silver a year, and there are only 100 members at most."
Li Gefei didn't say anything for a long time, and now said, "That's only a thousand taels of income. It seems that it's just how to talk about profit.
Wang said confidently, "Each of the ten of us has three silver medals, which can be given to others. Ten of the remaining 60 silver medals will be left to the top students of Jinke High School every year. The remaining 20 will be given to the emperor, who will be rewarded and distributed by him. We only have 30 silver medals available for sale.
Su Shi asked doubtfully, "If there is no need for us to contribute, this is clearly a loss business."
Wang side smiled and said, "Don't you want fame? Besides, with Brother Shen Kuo, I want to make a printing factory to make some monthly calligraphy and painting works. Everyone gathers regularly on the 8th, 18th and 28th of every month. I make a monthly publication to introduce the poetry dictionary. Let's also lead the following style. What do you think?
"Oh, Brother Wang's idea is amazing." Everyone thinks it's good.
Wang said, "Sit, I think there are still a few people to support it. The name of this publication is to be determined. My father, Wang Anshi, and I will talk about it with Yuan Ze. Lord Ouyang Xiu is going to bother the two brothers of the Su family. These two must be supported. Needless to say, Zhong Pin often goes in and out of the palace. Naturally, it's no problem for the emperor's favorite grandson to speak.
As soon as everyone heard that Wang wanted to make a publication, these people were not interested in how much silver they sold, but this famous knowledge matter was eager to try.
Wang saw this and said, "You just exchange more literature, poetry and paintings on weekdays. If you have good works, I will order people to record them. Naturally, I will ask you to proofread the publication. Zhongzhen also needs to control the scale and direction. We can't be out of the standard."
Everyone likes it. Everyone can't wait to turn over the box to find out the previously satisfactory works when they go back.
Shen Kuo also helped Wang side with this printing factory, built a factory to burn pottery molds, looking for grinding, a total of two months, everything is ready; Yunxuan is about to open,
Wang pang chose a maid with the same age, figure, appearance and qualifications, and became a female tea doctor. This time, he wants to lead the style of drinking tea, and sell loose tea into a new fashion. It is difficult for a daughter to find Yunxuanzuo, and the citation style is a small test.
At this time, Lu Shenyan also came back and brought back a smart child from Jianzhou, but just listening to the name made Wang have enough headaches. This child's name is: Cai Jing!
