When Liu Tan was burning incense, he couldn't help but mutter to the gods of the community to bless his grape seedlings.
Anyway… you've already worshipped, right? No matter how much he believed in science, he generally preferred to believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas rather than not.
If he is really unlucky, he will choose to go to the temple to pray. Then he will think about how programmers in later generations will inevitably perform rituals in the computer room to pray for the programs to be error-free, and he will feel more balanced.
After the worship, Liu Tan heard that the craftsman he had asked to find had been found.
Liu Tan, who had just finished his work and hadn't even had time to catch his breath, said: ...
He finally realized that his life was destined to be a hard work!
But this time he didn't have to do the work himself, after all, he just asked the craftsman to carve a set of wine utensils.
However, he held the idea that the gift to Liu Che did not have to be much, but it had to be exquisite and beautiful, and he also wanted craftsmen to carve patterns on the wine utensils.
After much thought, Liu Tan decided that carving evergreens on the bottom of the wine pot and wine cup would be a good choice.
Although it is not very repetitive or gorgeous, it should not be ugly. The most important thing is that it has a good meaning. I believe Liu Che would like it.
The only uncertainty is how long it will take.
Bi Gao, who was standing by, took the opportunity to say, "Your Highness, if you are in a hurry, you can use a ready-made wine jug."
Liu Tan asked in surprise, "Is there any water jade wine jug left in my storeroom?"
Miao Rui smiled and said, "Of course there is, but it's not as good as the crystal that Little Kunmi sent. But it's just that the bottom of the pot is not clear enough. If I use that, I can just make a pair of wine cups."
Liu Tan said uncertainly, "Bring me the water jade wine pot first."
If the crystal was too different from the one Lu Xuan sent, he would rather wait a little longer.
Liu Che had seen all kinds of good things, and if there was really a difference, he would definitely be able to tell it at a glance.
You can be perfunctory to anyone but not to Liu Che.
Fortunately, there was such a wine jug on the farm, and the young eunuch quickly ran over to get it.
When the exquisite lacquer box was placed in front of Liu Tan, he knew that even if the things in the box were not of the highest quality, they would definitely not be bad.
Sure enough, after opening it, there was a pair of exquisite and small wine jugs inside, about the height of a palm. Just as Miao Rui said, everything else was fine, except for some impurities at the bottom.
The stopper of the wine jug is carved in the shape of a turtle, which is not a problem. In the Han Dynasty, apart from the emperor's seal with a dragon button and the empress's seal with a tiger button, the seals of the crown prince and princes all had turtle buttons.
Liu Tan pointed to the areas with impurities and said, "Go ask the craftsman if they can make them less noticeable by carving."
As he spoke, he handed over the image of the evergreen he had painted.
Well, luckily the evergreen only has a few leaves.
This time, since Liu Tan did not need to communicate directly with the craftsman, the craftsman was not brought to him.
If he hadn't insisted on meeting the craftsmen last time for fear of miscommunication, those craftsmen would not have been able to contact him.
After all, in those days, craftsmen were considered lowly and had to bow when they saw old farmers with titles working in the fields, let alone being qualified to see the prince.
Not long after, the eunuch who had delivered the message came back breathlessly and said, "Your Highness, the craftsman said it's OK."
Liu Tan nodded and said, "By the way, have them change the corks in the wine. One with a dragon and the other with a tiger."
After hearing this, Bi Gao was shocked: "Your Highness, this is a taboo."
Liu Tan waved his hand: "It's not for me to use. It was originally given to my father, the emperor, and my mother. Besides, I'm not hiding it from anyone, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Bi Gao thought so too. He and Miao Rui were still there, and Liu Tan gave the order so openly, obviously without any other thoughts.
Moreover, with Liu Tan's status, if he really violated a taboo, he would only be reprimanded. The only ones in danger would be them.
So Miao Rui still carefully reminded: "Your Highness should be careful with your words and actions."
In the past, Miao Rui and Bigo were not talkative people. They would only come over to say something to Liu Tan when they really needed to be reminded. Their nervous look at this moment made Liu Tan think for a moment.
He soon understood what the two were worried about, and smiled, saying, "Give them the order. If anyone asks, just say it was my order and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Miao Rui and Bigo were so moved that their eyes filled with tears.
There are not many owners willing to take responsibility these days.
Normally, when something like this happens, whether they are punished or executed is their business. Now that Liu Tan speaks directly, it means it has nothing to do with them.
Liu Tan met the two men's grateful eyes with great composure. After yawning, he said, "By the way, let's make two wine cups, one for each wine pot."
Miao Rui and Bigo were stunned for a moment. What was the logic behind this? They always sold in pairs, so why was there a single one?
In fact, this is just Liu Tan's pettiness.
Giving Liu Che two wine cups means that he and Lady Gouyi will drink together?
Although Liu Che actually had quite a lot of concubines in his harem, he never favored one in particular. Even if she was favored, it was only because she had more sleep with him in a certain period of time, or they met more often, or she gave birth to a prince.
But Liu Tan was not happy no matter who Liu Che went with to share the wine pot and wine cup he gave him.
Anyway, Liu Che is richer, so he can just go get one for himself.
Liu Tan left Miao Rui and Big Gao in a mess and went straight to sleep.
He had been exhausted the entire day. First of all, the long journey had already made him very tired, and then he had to get some wine and encountered Lu Xuan who was drunk.
After we finished harvesting the grapes, we even worshipped some gods. This trip was so fulfilling that it was almost beyond words.
The next day, when Liu Tan woke up, he heard Miao Rui say, "Your Highness, are you returning to the palace today?"
Liu Tan thought for a moment and said, "Let's see what happens. By the way, is little Kunmi awake?"
Miao Rui said, "He got up early and is now practicing martial arts in the martial arts field."
Liu Tan: ...
So he didn't get up as early as that drunkard.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the sundial, only then did he realize that he had indeed gotten up half an hour later than usual.
Liu Tan attributed this time to being too tired yesterday. Of course, it could also be because he did not have such great psychological pressure when he was not in the palace.
After washing up, Liu Tan didn't rush to have breakfast. Instead, he went to the martial arts training ground to watch Lu Xuan practice martial arts.
When he walked over, he found Lu Xuan practicing with a spear.
His movements were so smooth that the straw man placed in front of him as a target was almost pierced to pieces.
Liu Tan recalled the miserable state of his previous martial arts training, and finally had to admit that martial arts training probably required talent.
Lu Xuan had long noticed someone staring at him. Although he didn't look over, he knew that there was only one person in this manor who could stand by and watch him so brazenly.
However, he remained patient and waited until the spear technique was finished before turning to look at Liu Tan and saying, "Ah Tan is awake?"
Liu Tan was just about to say hello to him when he heard his words and couldn't help but ask himself: Am I that familiar with you?
But when I think about it, it seems... I should be familiar with it.
After all, it is possible to stay overnight, but this stay is different from that in later generations.
In later generations, people basically live in the same space, so friends who can let them stay at home must be very good and close friends.
Now... his farm is so big, even if someone encounters temporary difficulties and wants to live there, it may not be impossible. But it doesn't seem right.
Because there were many people around who were secretly watching the little Kunmi, Liu Tan did not offend him.
Of course, this is probably also because Lu Xuan is more beautiful today than before.
Although Lu Xuan was also very handsome before, Liu Tan always felt that he looked a little restrained in the Han Chinese clothing.
What he is wearing now seems to be training clothes, but it should be different from the training clothes of the Han people. His arms are exposed, his muscles are strong, and his lines are smooth. He can be described as perfect.
Lu Xuan has an exotic and wild beauty, which can be described in one word: masculinity.
To be honest, Lu Xuan like this really appeals to Liu Tan's taste. He dreams of having a body of strong but not exaggerated muscles like Lu Xuan.
Unfortunately, his perseverance does not allow him to have it, so he can only envy others.
After Liu Tan had admired her enough, he said, "You got up so early."
Lu Xuan said, "I need to practice and study. I'm used to it."
Liu Tan felt a little embarrassed, feeling that the difference between him and Lu Xuan was probably that of a top student and a poor student.
Liu Tan changed the subject and asked, "Has Chao eaten yet?"
Lu Xuan said, "I had some snacks and was waiting for you to get up."
There was a hint of intimacy in these words, but Liu Tan was too thick-skinned to realize it at all and simply said, "Let's go."
Lu Xuan pondered whether he was too reserved and then remembered how he was not reserved yesterday. He was not actually that drunk yesterday, but he was just stimulated by the alcohol and became... excited.
I really wanted to express my thoughts, but I was afraid of scaring Liu Tan, so I restrained myself.
As a result... the other party still seemed to have not understood at all.
Lu Xuan chased after him and asked, "Yesterday... I was extremely rude. Ah Tan, please don't take it to heart."
Liu Tan patted him on the shoulder generously and said, "It's okay. It's my fault. I should have warned you in advance."
Lu Xuan felt relieved but also a little disappointed. What made him even more disappointed was that he was about to leave after breakfast, while Liu Tan seemed to be staying here for a few more days.
Before leaving, Lu Xuan asked reluctantly, "When will Ah Tan go back?"
Liu Tan said uncertainly, "Maybe three or four days, maybe five or six days. I have something to do here and can't leave."
The disappointment on Lu Xuan's face was very obvious, so obvious that Liu Tan felt as if he had abandoned such a beautiful woman.
Bah, bah, bah, what about abandoning someone after having fun with them.
Liu Tan pushed the thought out and said, "I'll come play with you when I get back."
Lu Xuan looked at him seriously and said, "Then you must come find me."
Liu Tan felt a little guilty. Although he had promised before, it was just a polite remark. He didn't expect this person to believe it. So he quickly promised, "Of course, of course."
Lu Xuan then walked away, looking back every few steps.
After he left, Liu Tan wiped his sweat and said: This is too enthusiastic.
However, he had always envied people with this kind of personality, who could make friends anytime and anywhere, but he couldn't do it. He thought that if it weren't for Xiao Kunmi being so enthusiastic, the two of them might not even be acquaintances.
While thinking about these things, Liu Tan ran to the greenhouse to check on the grape seedlings.
Probably because of the first failure, he couldn't help but feel scared when he saw the grape seedlings wilting a little. He wanted to open the joints to see if there was any bacteria infection inside.
However, reason told him that it was normal for plants to behave like this when they were injured.
In order to avoid pulling apart the branches he had grafted with great difficulty, Liu Tan decided to make something else, such as fruit wine.
Of course, a good quality liquor would be enough as a gift to Liu Che, but it would be inappropriate to give it to Chen Ajiao. It's not that I treat her differently, but I just think that the wine given to ladies should be softer.
So he wanted to make some fruit wine, but it would be too late to brew it now, so he simply mixed it with fruit juice and white wine.
Just use the lowest alcohol distilled liquor and freshly squeezed juice to blend.
However, there are few fruits these days, and the only ones available in this season are probably autumn pears.
In fact, pears are also good. After all, they are juicy and more suitable for juicing.
However, after Liu Tan mixed the wine according to his intuition, he picked up the wine cup and took a big sip.
Then... he spat it out and coughed loudly.
