After being dressed as a scumbag, I was dismissed?!

Chapter 14

Gu Beizhi came to Baoyixuan again. The shop assistants of Baoyixuan knew him. At first, he thought he was a poor guy who couldn't buy it. Later, when he heard that he was a famous alcoholic scholar, his attitude changed. The dislike at first became lukewarm, but after getting familiar with it, it can also be a little funny.

"Gu Xiucai is here again today to feast your eyes on. Our family recently got a new wine vessel from a former Confucian scholar, you can see." The shop assistant winked, making fun of Gu Beizhi's reputation as a 'drinker'.

Gu Beizhi had already passed the age of sky-high self-esteem, so he smiled indifferently, "That's good, Brother Ding, take it out and let Gu grow his eyes." Dian Xiaoer

is not lying, he really takes that set When the wine vessel was taken out, it was a set of cyan jade wine jugs and wine glasses. Although it was said to be a set, there was only one jug and one cup.

"Don't look at the fact that there is only one pot and one cup. This was used by the former prime minister and famous scholar Kong Xiuqi. The copybook left by the layman Xianyun is now worth a thousand words. We Baoyixuan finally received such a complete set. The wine vessel..." The shop assistant saw that Gu Beizhi was disapproving, and hurriedly explained it, by the way, to prove the strength of his shop.

Gu Beizhi learned from his words that the former prime minister Kong Xiuqi, courtesy name Xianyun Lay, was a famous calligrapher, and he also had a well-known hobby, which was good wine.

This famous scholar has been associated with wine all his life. For example, one day and night he was drunk and wrote the famous poem "Drinking under the Moon". For example, "after drinking, let the traitor around the emperor take off his boots to ridicule the traitor as no more than a slave". feat.

There are also many small stories. If you listen carefully, there are some similarities between the poets and saints in the history of China, but they are only similar. Gu Beizhi can't help but feel a little lost.

He carefully looked at this set of wine vessels. The wine jug had a long neck, a big belly, and round feet. The whole body was round, with slight scratches on the surface. The handle was connected to the body of the jug but there was no lid.

Xiao Ding just wanted to see his joke, this jug is not only as simple as the famous Confucian used, there is a strange thing that this jug has no mouth, except for the spout from which the wine is poured, there is no other opening on it. The spout is very thin. If you pour wine through the spout, it may not be realistic. How can you pour wine into it?

He wanted to see how Gu Xiucai was stumped, so he asked with a smile, "Gu Xiucai, this pot has no mouth. Guess how you poured wine into it?"

Gu Beizhi laughed, it seemed that he was underestimated by Brother Ding. , and also cooperated, "Xiao Ding is going to test Gu?"

"No, no, Gu Xiu is smart, and he must be able to see the mystery of this jug." Xiao Ding waved his hand and complimented his mouth. , but the tone did not seem to believe that he could guess.

Gu Beizhi really thinks that this wine jug is quite rare, but not because it has no lid, but because it is carved out of jade, which makes him wonder who is so skilled in making wine jugs. interest.

"Brother Xiao Ding said this, if Gu Mou can't answer, doesn't he look stupid? The mystery of drinking wine in this jug is not difficult. If Gu Mou can answer, can Xiao Ding answer a question from Gu?" Gu Beizhi circled around the jug a few times, but with the naked eye, there was nothing wrong with it.

"As long as I know, I must know everything!" Xiao Ding is very confident. It is the first time he has seen such a strange jug. The owner also said that it is the first time he has seen this kind of jug. Gu Xiucai is a poor man. What can a scholar know?

Gu Beizhi smiled, "It's settled, Brother Xiaoding, don't change your mind for a while."

"Of course not."

It was the morning, there were not many customers in the store, and Xiaoding had nothing to do, so he played with Gu Beizhi. When the trouble started, the shopkeeper didn't care if they didn't affect anything, and the shopkeeper didn't pay attention until Xiao Ding and Gu Beizhi made a bet.

That jug is a rare thing. The last time I saw the owner demonstrate it, he still doesn't understand the mystery, and he is quite puzzled. This doubt seduces his curiosity, but he is the same as Xiao Ding. I don't think Gu Beizhi can guess the secret of the jug.

But the next moment, both the shopkeeper and Xiao Ding looked at Gu Beizhi's actions in surprise, and saw that he turned the jug over, the bottom was facing upwards, and the holes with the thickness of two fingers on the bottom were exposed.

Gu Beizhi poured the tea from the side into the hole without hesitation, and the spout on the front of the jug didn't flow out a drop of water. , and there was not a drop of water flowing out of the hole at the bottom.

Pick up the glass, tilt the jug, and the tea will flow out smoothly along the spout. After the demonstration, Gu Beizhi poured out all the water in the jug and raised it at 90° with the spout facing down to control the water.

"Brother Xiao Ding, how did Gu Mou demonstrate?" Gu Beizhi put the wine jug and wine glass back into the wooden box covered with silk cloth. He was not as careful as Xiao Ding, and the flowing water would not damage the wine vessel in the slightest.

When the shopkeeper saw Gu Beizhi's movement of storing the wine vessel, he knew that he was a connoisseur.

"How did you know?" Xiao Ding's eyes widened and he was very surprised.

Gu Beizhi smiled slightly, "It's not unusual, there is a universe in this pot, and Gu just happened to know it." The

shopkeeper came out from behind the counter, "I wonder if Gu Xiucai can tell the old man about the universe in his belly?"

"Of course, the shopkeeper, please take a look." Gu Beizhi took out the pot and turned it upside down, revealing the two-finger-wide hole, which was slightly inclined, "Look, can you see that there is a pipe connected to this hole? ?" The

shopkeeper looked at it for a long time, "There is indeed a pipe, but what does that mean?"

Gu Beizhi put away the jug again, "The secret is this pipe, it is a thick tube at one end and a thin end, the end hidden in the belly of the jug is much thinner, and it is very close to the upper layer of the jug. But they are not connected."

He put the small wine glass in the tea cup and poured water into the tea cup, "Assuming this wine glass is the tube in the belly of the wine pot, this tea cup is the outer layer of the wine pot, when I pour it When I come over, the water can flow in through the pipe, and when I turn it over again, all the water in the pipe has reached the abdomen and is not in the pipe, just like it is now."

Actually, it also involves the reason of pressure, but that I'm afraid Gu Beizhi can't explain it enough, so he simply ignores the reason and only talks about the structure.

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" The shopkeeper clapped his hands, "I didn't expect it to be like this! Gu Xiucai is knowledgeable!"

"It's just a coincidence." Gu Beizhi was very modest.

The shopkeeper solved a curiosity and felt happy, so he asked Xiao Ding to go to the warehouse and take out a mahogany box. The old man will return the favor, these are some items left by our Baoyixuan that cannot be judged of value, you can choose one of them."

The items inside are not big, and they all look dirty, and they look like they are worthless at all. , but it is also free, the value is not high, and there is no burden to accept it.

So he glanced at random and took a carved ebony piece similar to a small pendant. "That's it." The

shopkeeper saw that he had picked up the same thing, and he didn't even mean to pick the most valuable one. Although it is impossible to judge the value, some of them are gold and jade objects, which are still worth a little money, but Gu Beizhi chose an ebony carving piece that he did not know what to do.

"Gu Xiucai, why don't you replace it with this gilt Maitreya Buddha? Even if it's not worth the money, it's a good choice to take it home as an offering." The shopkeeper advised him to replace it with a gilt Buddha. Although it's not big, if you sell it, you can sell it Two or three taels of silver.

"No need, I think this carving is very beautiful, it suits my eyes, and I would like to thank the shopkeeper for the gift." Gu Bei knew the thanks, and after a few gossip with the shopkeeper, he left Baoyixuan and went to copy it. Bookstores of books, you have to write and copy quickly today.

After more than two hours, Gu Beizhi shook his sore arm, collected the pen and ink and copied the manuscript, and locked it in the second cabinet next to it. This was distributed to him by the bookstore. Everything is locked in to avoid confusion with other people.

After greeting the shopkeeper of the bookstore, Gu Beizhi hurriedly went to the official salt shop on South Street to buy salt. Salt was quite expensive, at 23 cents, five cents more expensive than pork.

According to the understanding of taking care of Beizhi, twenty-three yuan per pound of salt is indeed a bit expensive, but it seems to be understandable that the ancient technology is backward and the transportation is inconvenient.

He bought a pound of salt and spent twenty-three cents. On the way back, he saw a soy bean seller. It was last year's old beans. This year's new beans haven't come down yet. Wen can also buy a basket.

Gu Beizhi missed the fragrance of soy milk, so he spent five cents to buy nine catties of beans and a bag for the beans. This time, the salt in his left hand and the beans in his right hand were all occupied, so Gu Beizhi did not buy anything else. Go home in a hurry.

"The meal is driven by iron cold and the horse holds the jade saddle." Gu Beizhi hummed while walking, but he didn't feel tired when he got home. Drink and feast"

"I'm back." He called from the door, and Guan Zhou came over and opened the door for him.

"Come back, go drink some water and rest." Guan Zhou took the things in his hand.

"Hey, I got it." Gu Beizhi went in, still humming a song, "I wear my uniform and don't be afraid of the cool evening breeze, why is the director of the jade flute sound at home, Le Weiyang?"

Guan Zhou was a little curious, "Beizhi, today there is a Is it a good thing?"

"Huh? No." Gu Beizhi wondered, "What's wrong?"

"You look very happy, and you have been humming." Guan Zhou pursed his lips and smiled, pouring the salt into the Close the lid of the jar, "I bought soybeans? This thing is not delicious."

"It's not for eating, put it aside, I'll get it later." Gu Beizhi touched his face and did not answer his previous words.

To be happy, it is probably a little bit. Originally, he thought that the knowledge he had learned was useless here. After all, it had changed to another time and space, and the history was completely different. But today, when I saw the jug, I found that although the history was different, some Things are always the same, and they always work.

Gu Beizhi smiled, probably because the burden on his heart was a little lighter, so he hummed unconsciously.
