"Come on, come on, let's raise our glasses and toast. We must finish the first glass. It's New Year's Day, we can't spoil the fun." Wu You shouted heroically, holding up a half-glass of wine.
Next to her were Wang Zhen and Wang Ying, next to Wang Zhen were Fang Zhao and Zhang Gou, and next to Wang Ying sat a young man with short pigtails.
Fang Zha looked at the glass of wine, which was about two taels in size, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Wang Zhen, "Sir, shouldn't fine wine be savored slowly?"
Wang Zhen thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Your junior uncle never knew what it meant to savor wine slowly. The first time he drank wine, he seemed to be only five years old. He drank the same amount in one gulp and fell asleep immediately. Your great master was stunned at the time."
"So straightforward?" Fang Zan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Wine seemed to be very expensive at that time, right? After all, it is not cheap now. The Grandmaster really loves Junior Uncle."
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "It's just that. All you need to do is wash the grapes and seal them together with sugar. It's very simple to brew. Relatively speaking, sake is more difficult to make.
It’s just that things are rare and valuable, and Yuzhou has been controlling the shipment volume, so the price can’t be reduced. The actual value is not that great. There are several million people in Yuzhou, and almost everyone can drink ten or eight bottles a year.”
Wu You quickly begged for mercy, "Hehe, little nun, please forgive me, I was just kidding."

"What are you afraid of?" Wu You squinted at Wang Ying, "Bobo is here. If you get drunk, he will take care of you."
Wang Zhen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your master is very open-minded about these things. He believes that as long as the two parties are in love and it is reasonable and legal, then it is natural.
Wang Zhen laughed loudly and said, "If your master didn't even have this much magnanimity, how could my Yuzhou school be able to compete with Confucianism in just ten years?
"Okay, you can drink a lot, so drink it by yourself, don't drag others along."
"Ha ha."
Although this Bobo is a Mohe, he is good-looking and in all other aspects. He also listens to your master's words and is a good match for you.
"How difficult do you think it is? A little more sugar makes it more intoxicating, a little less sugar makes it less intoxicating. We didn't know this before and spent a lot of money to buy it from the Western Regions.
Wang Ying pointed at the food in the pot and said with a smile, "Only in such a bitter and cold place can we dare to eat like this. If these things were taken to Lingnan, they would be too nutritious to use as ingredients. Brother Zhong is right. The only meats that can be eaten regularly regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter are pork and seafood."
Wang Ying filled his own cup, glanced at Wu You, and scolded him with a smile: "Drink your ass, you will get drunk soon and make a fool of yourself in front of the younger generation. Do you still want to be the junior master uncle?"
"Then don't call her that." Wang Zhen smiled and explained, "Your great-grandmother is already 22 years old, and is old enough to get married, but she always compares others with your great-grandmother. There is no other person like your great-grandmother in the world.
There is actually not much difference between the foreign races and our own race. Going back three thousand years, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, but they were just poor people after being defeated in the war. Now that they have returned to the embrace of China, they are naturally Chinese people. "
Wu You said nonchalantly, "I can drink a lot, how could I get drunk? Besides, I'm a good drinker, even if I get drunk, I can just go to sleep, how could I make a fool of myself?"
After the feast, everyone separated. On the way back, Fang Zhao complained, "Why didn't Master Gu introduce us? We don't know how to call that Bobo."
Wang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "The weather in the northwest is just as bitterly cold. I wonder how you are doing now? My junior brothers and sisters are young, and there is not even a servant at home. It's all up to the mistress to take care of everything. There are always things she can't take care of."
Ever since your master brewed it, we have been selling some to the west every year. The things your master brewed are not comparable to those barbarians. For example, Liuli has also been sold to the west. "
Wang Zhen came to the rescue and said, "Let's eat. I haven't eaten these Northeastern ingredients for a long time since I went to Chang'an."
Then Bobo refilled his glass and just as he looked at Fang Zhao and Zhang Gou, the two little guys quickly stood up first. Bobo smiled and said, "Let's have a drink too."
A big pot in the middle was bubbling non-stop, with pieces of venison, flying dragon meat, ginseng slices, etc. rolling up from time to time.
Everyone fell silent now. Wu Youqiang smiled and said, "Why worry about that? We just need to eat and drink well. There's no point in worrying. Let's take good care of ourselves and make our husband worry less. That will be filial piety."
Fang Zhao asked curiously, "Wouldn't Master have any objection to finding a foreigner?"
After Wang Zhen finished speaking, he drank the sake in the cup.
There are no elders to decide here, so naturally, marriages cannot be arranged. But since your master wants to introduce us to each other first, we are the younger generation, so why should we care so much about it?"
"Hehe, if your master wasn't so powerful, do you think His Majesty and Empress Wu would hand over the four great borderlands to our Yuzhou clan so easily?"
After hearing his master's explanation, Fang Zhao was fascinated. He finished the wine in his glass and said, "We in the Tang Dynasty are so lucky to have our master."
"Indeed." Wang Ying nodded and said with a smile: "Wu You is right. Since you are worried about nothing, why don't we just be well and eat our food."
Wu You said dissatisfiedly, "What are you two, master and disciple, whispering about? Let's drink a second cup and wish us a happy reunion after a long separation."
The atmosphere gradually became better after several rounds of toasts. Bobo, who had not said much the whole time, stood up and raised his glass to Wang Zhen and said, "Wang Zhen, I toast you."
Wang Ying narrowed his eyes at Wu You and asked, "Do you want to be punished?"
Wang Zhen quickly stood up as well, picked up his glass and said, "I dare not, I should toast you."
Zhang Gou nodded and praised: "Master is very generous."
Fang Numa was stunned for a moment, and said with a strange expression: "Is it so simple to make fine wine?"
If your great-grandmaster doesn't even have this little bit of magnanimity, let alone others, your second uncle's ability will make it impossible for him to be subdued.
If your master doesn't even have this much tolerance, how can the emperor and empress tolerate our Yuzhou clan?"
Fang Zhao's blood boiled after hearing this, and he smacked his lips and said, "I really want to meet the Grandmaster right now."
Zhang Gou nodded and said, "Yeah, I feel the same way."
"If you have the chance, take a rest early. We will set off back to Lingnan tomorrow."
