Seeing this scene, Brother Zheng could not help but glance at Xia Qi.
Brother Zheng knew Wang Jian's alcohol tolerance. It was not an exaggeration to say that he would not get drunk after a thousand glasses.
However, he had only drunk one cup and it had become like this.
Could it be that this kid didn't serve Old General Wang wine, but poison?
At this moment, he suddenly heard Wang Jian panting loudly.
"Haha, good wine! I've wasted more than sixty years, and I think I'm a drinker. Only today did he know that the things he drank previously were simply horse piss!”
Everyone was dumbfounded by Wang Jian's words.
Old General Wang could be said to be the pillar of support in Great Qin, and he had seen all sorts of situations.
It was the first time they saw Wang Jian praising something so much.
Was it really that good?
Brother Zheng was also a little curious. He picked up the wine cup and Zhao Gao, who was beside him, came forward to pour wine for him.
The princes couldn't help but pour themselves wine.
As a prince, there was no one present who did not drink. They could all tell the quality of the wine.
The wine that Xia Qi took out today felt like fire when it entered his throat, but the taste was clear and sweet.
The moment the bottle of wine entered his stomach, he felt tipsy and groggy. It was very comfortable.
Some of the young princes couldn't stand the alcohol and became drunk.
But no one denied that this was good wine!
As a result, the praises in the hall continued.
Brother Zheng nodded and said,"It's indeed good wine!"”
When Brother Zheng spoke, everyone praised him.
Everyone knew that when everyone was happy, there would always be someone who would jump out and ruin the atmosphere.
"Although strong wine is good, who knows how much grain is needed to brew such a cup of wine!”
A discordant voice sounded.
Looking over, it was Fu Su, who had a worried face.
As soon as these disappointing words came out, the hall immediately fell silent.
All of these people were Great Qin's top nobles.
Especially Brother Zheng and his son. The Great Qin Empire belonged to them, so they should empathize with the sufferings of the people.
Xia Qi smiled and said," The raw material of this wine is yellow wine brewed from sprouted beans and wheat. If the beans and wheat sprout, even livestock will be afraid of poisoning." To be able to brew wine, it could be considered as making the best use of everything. Fu Su did not have to worry about this.”
After saying that, Xia Qi turned to look at Brother Zheng.
"Imperial Father, I can guarantee that I will only use inferior grain to make wine. The court can send people to the Craftsmen Bureau to supervise at any time. If I violate this, I will never set foot in this road.”
"The Great Qin Empire has just been pacified, so food is precious and cannot be wasted. There's no need for supervision, but you must remember what you said today.”Brother Zheng pointed at Xia Qi and said.
The banquet continued.
The strong liquor that Xia Qi brought out today completely subverted everyone's understanding.
Even the younger princes who couldn't hold their liquor were extremely fond of drinking.
Two hours later, the banquet was about to end.
Young Master Gao, whom Xia Qi had arranged in advance, stood up and asked loudly,"What is the name of such a fine wine?”
"I haven't had the time to name it."
Xia Qi said as he looked at Brother Zheng,"Please name this wine."”
Brother Zheng thought for a moment and then said,"The nature of this wine is also urgent. It is as fierce as fire in the mouth. The nature of the wine is honest and sweet, just like the temperament of my Qin people.”
"Thank you for the name, Imperial Father!"
Xia Qi clapped his hands, and a group of servants filed in, each carrying a small jar of wine.
"The Craftsmen Bureau is short of manpower. They have been working overtime these few days and only have this much Qin Feng wine left. I don't have anything else with me now. Since the Qin Feng wine is to everyone's taste, I'll bring some back. Don't refuse.”
Hearing these words, Wang Jian immediately beamed with joy.
After drinking this Qin Feng wine, he could no longer tolerate other wines in his eyes.
It was a pity that there was only a palm-sized copper pot on each table.
Although this wine was overbearing, it was always somewhat unsatisfied to Wang Jian.
He didn't expect Gong Ziqi to be so sensible. He knew that he hadn't drunk enough, so he specially asked him to bring a jar back.
For a moment, Wang Jian felt a little guilty about how he had tricked Xia Qi so excessively in the past.
He decided that when he got the wine later, he would say a few polite words and shake hands with Xia Qi.
It was better to resolve a grudge than to form one!
Wang Jian eagerly watched as Xia Qi brought the chamberlain to deliver the wine.
However, from the start, Brother Zheng gave them a round of gifts.
Everyone who received the wine bade farewell and left.
Finally, in the huge hall, only Wang Jian and Xia Qi were left.
At this time, Xia Qi seemed to have only just seen Wang Jian.
"Eh? The sky was already dark. Could it be that Old General Wang wanted to stay in the palace?”Xia Qi pretended to be surprised.
Saying these words was a little murderous.
If Brother Zheng didn't speak, which foreign official would dare to stay in the palace?
Even Wang Jian couldn't do it!
Wang Jian was so angry that his beard was crooked. He did not give up and looked behind Xia Qi. He realized that the servants who were carrying wine had also left.
He had never thought that Xia Qi's revenge would actually be waiting for him here.
What a good method!
He knew that he was a person who liked to drink, so he deliberately invited him to the banquet.
He used Qin Feng's wine to arouse his craving, and then gave wine to each of them in front of him, leaving him behind.
However, he had just praised Xia Qi's wine in front of everyone so much that it was almost impossible to find one in the sky.
This time, his face could be said to be completely lost!
Old General Wang had ruled the world for decades. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Looking at Xia Qi's face that deserved a beating, Wang Jian resisted the urge to smash his fist forward.
"Gongzi Qi, what a good method. This old man admires you!”
Wang Jian coldly threw down a few words of courtesy and left with a flick of his sleeves.
It was not the first time they had met, so he knew Xia Qi very well.
Since Xia Qi had made up his mind to take revenge on him, then if he stayed any longer today, he would just let Xia Qi see him as a joke.
……
Two days later, noon.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben were having dinner at home.
Putting aside the identity of the Great General, the Wang family of Pinyang that Wang Jian was from was also a well-known family in Guanzhong.
Wang Jian himself was the eighteenth grandson of Prince Ling of Zhou, and he was one of the most influential people in Great Qin. The standard of his lunch was naturally not bad.
Half a fan of mutton was cooked in the cauldron that was half the height of a person. There were also some seasonal vegetables in the copper bowl beside it.
Faced with delicious food, Wang Jian had no appetite at all. He took the chopsticks and scratched them casually.
Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, was also a powerful man. During the Great Qin Empire's war against the Six Nations, he was awarded the title of Marquis Tongwu with his own military merits.
Seeing that his father was distracted, Wang Ben asked with concern,"Grandpa, why are you distracted?”
"Sigh, meat without wine is extremely boring!”Wang Jian said with waning interest.
"What's so difficult about that?" Wang Ben said with a smile. There was plenty of fine wine in the house. If Grandpa wanted to drink, he could just give the order.”
Wang Jian's eyes stared straight at his son, his expression incomparably dejected.
"You don't understand. Wine and wine are different! Moreover, how could the horse urine at home be called wine?”
