    Outside Dongguan of Peixian County, there was a heavy flow of cars and people. It turned out that the street in front of the Wang family wine shop was filled with rich children and wealthy businessmen in gorgeous clothes.  Today is the day of bidding.  Early in the morning, many people from Pei rushed to Dongguan, wanting to see with their own eyes how the Lu family exchanged ant noses, knives, cloth, gold and jade into Qin Banliang that no one wanted to take.  Those gentry and merchants who were dressed in gorgeous clothes in groups of three and two and were surrounded by groups of strong men talking and laughing loudly were not just here to exchange Qin Banliang. Many of them came to taste the Lu family's unrivaled delicacies.  .  The original Wang¡¯s Restaurant and the forage shop next door have been renovated, and the pillars, doors and windows have been painted with new paint. When the sun shines, they shine brightly and look very majestic.  It turns out that although the forage store occupies a large area, it only has one shop, and the rest are warehouses.  But now the wall facing the street has been completely demolished and replaced by a long facade. Judging from the plaque wrapped in red silk, it is divided into four parts.  Under the plaque, which was tightly wrapped in red silk, stood rows of county soldiers holding halberds and swords. No one who wanted to find out could get closer.  Although the gentry and merchants who came from Pengcheng, Xiangxian and other nearby big towns came to the wine shop early to wait, the Lu family members did not show up for a long time, which made these people a little anxious while waiting. Some people had even started to wait.  Cursed.  It was not until three o'clock that a boxcar came out of the city under the protection of more than a dozen officers. The imperial servant was Xia Houying.  Seeing Xia Houying, everyone knew that the county magistrate Xu Kan was here.  Sure enough, after the box car, Lu Wen, Lu Ze, and Lu Yuanpeng led dozens of strong men on horseback.  It's not that Lu Wen deliberately delayed today, but Xu Kan had a friend here. Xu Kan respected this person very much. He waited slowly for his guest to wash up, have breakfast and rest for almost half an hour.  Inform Lu Wen to wait in front of the county government office.  Xu Kan got out of the car in front of the wine shop. His guest was a quiet middle-aged man with sharp eyes under a pair of thin eyebrows. This handsome man just glanced at the noisy crowd and began to look at the wine shop.  The gentry in Peixian County ignored those who came up to greet Xu Kan.  Xu Kan hurriedly greeted a few Peixian gentry, whispered to the middle-aged man, and then waved to Lu Wen, asking Lu Wen to arrange the bidding as soon as possible.  Lu Wen resisted Lu Ze for a few words and then stepped aside.  Lu Ze ordered the store door to be opened, and then stood on the steps.  "Dear fellow villagers and friends who have come from afar, our Lu family is here today not only to bid for Qin Banliang, but also to celebrate the Lu family's newly opened wine shop. At the same time, we also invite you to taste the delicacies passed down by our Lu family." Lu Ze spoke.  In the meantime, Lu Shizhi had already directed several family members to pull off the red silk wrapped around the plaque.  According to Lu Yuanpeng¡¯s idea, he wanted to ask Xu Kan to unveil the plaque and hold a ceremony similar to the opening ceremony of later generations.  But Lu Wen and Lu Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads after hearing Lu Yuanpeng's thoughts.  At this time, the status of the businessman was low, so it would be great if Xu Kan could come. If Xu Kan was asked to unveil the Lu family store, it would be absolutely impossible at that time.  The plaques of the wine shop and the four shops next door are all black and gold, and the font on the plaque is Lu Shu.  Lu Shu's golden hook and iron strokes, coupled with the black paint background, look even more solemn and majestic.  As soon as the red silk was peeled off, it immediately aroused a lot of discussion.  It¡¯s no wonder that this Lu Shu is different from any other fonts in ancient and modern times. How can you see these people in front of the store?  The moment the red silk was lifted off, the eyes of Xu Kan and his guest were locked tightly, and they refused to leave.  "Brother Lu, what word is this, and who wrote it? Why haven't I seen it before?" The speaker was a middle-aged man with a slender figure and a heroic appearance. Next to him stood a dark-skinned and strong young man.  Around them, there was a group of stern-faced men.  Lu Yuanpeng just met these two people yesterday. One of them is called Chen Xi and the other is Ding Fu.  ??Chen Xi, a wealthy businessman in Wanqu, was a heroic man and had hundreds of guests at home. He was well-known in both black and white cuisine in Wanqu.  Ding Fu was a Yue man, a forthright and righteous man. He was a wealthy man in Yecheng. He specialized in horse trading and had hundreds of brothers under his command.  These two people were both famous in Lu Yuanpeng's memory in his previous life. According to Lu Yuanpeng's knowledge of history in his previous life, they both joined Lu Ze's army at the beginning of the rebellion against Qin. Later, when they reached Guanzhong, they gradually broke away from Lu Ze and joined Liu Bang.  Great military exploits.  Among them, Ding Fu once commanded Zhu Zhen and killed Xiang Yu's general Long Qie. He was named Marquis of Yangdu by Liu Bang, with a settlement of 7,800 households, which was much more than the settlements of many of Liu Bang's confidants and favorite generals.  It can be seen that the military exploits are outstanding.  As for Chen Xi, he is even more famous. Not only was he named Yang Xia by Liu Bang,?, he was even entrusted with the important task of Liu Bang, commanding the State of Zhao as the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, and guarding the border on behalf of the State.  Both of them were friends with Lu Ze because of Lu Ze when his father was selling horses.  This time, both of them happened to be in Pengcheng. When they saw Lu Ze, they naturally came to support him. Moreover, they also wanted to see whether the Lu family's cooking skills were as amazing as Lu Ze boasted.  As for the bidding for Qin Banliang, they were very disapproving. They even tried to persuade Lu Ze in private to take advantage of the Lu family, but they didn't even bother to do it.  As soon as he heard Chen Xi asking about the font, and saw Xu Kan and his obviously distinguished guest, as well as many wealthy businessmen with confused and shocked faces in front of him, Lu Ze couldn't help but look proud.  "To be honest, Brother Chen, this word was created by my fifth brother Yuanpeng. Mr. Xiao, the magistrate of Jingpei County, named it Lu Shu." "What? It was created by the fifth son of the Lu family!" As soon as Lu Ze finished speaking, he immediately attracted attention.  People who knew Lu Yuanpeng exclaimed.  Even Xu Kan and the arrogant guest looked shocked.  Lu Yuanpeng, who was standing aside and secretly observing Xu Kan's guests, saw that everyone was looking at him, so he had to step forward and cup his hands in front of everyone to confirm what Lu Ze said.  Xiao He, who was following Xu Kan, had a look full of lust on his face.  "Today's bidding" Lu Ze, the Lu Shu, will definitely make the Lu family famous, but today's business is not here.  Lu Ze believed that from today on, no one would look down on his Lu family.  "There are some rules for today's auction that I need to explain to everyone first." "The wine shop is small and may be crowded. Those who want to enter the auction must pay a hundred yuan in advance." Before Lu Ze finished speaking, Xu Kan's guest had already frowned.  He frowned, snorted slightly, and looked at Lu Ze with disdain in his eyes.  Xu Kan and Xiao He and Lu Yuanpeng who were standing not far away could hear it clearly.  Xiao He couldn't help but smile bitterly and looked at Lu Yuanpeng to make a sound.  Xu Kanze's face was already flushed, and he explained to the guest in a low voice: "There is nothing we can do about it. If all these people come in, I'm afraid it will spoil our interest." The Keren nodded slightly and said nothing more.  He just raised his head again and carefully read the letter on the plaque. Xu Kan looked at Lu Wen and held the guest in his hand. "There are many people here, let's go in."  " After Xu Kan finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Wen and entered the wine shop with the guest. Lu Wen and Xiao He hurriedly followed him into the wine shop. The people below who were about to go in to watch the fun started talking loudly. " A hundred ant noses  It¡¯s not a small amount, how can ordinary people be willing to give it up? Recommended collection!
