Chapter Seventy-Six: The Secret of Brunschweig's Whisky

Lou Shang knew that Fifth Xia was his sister.

Fifth Xia also knew that Lou Shang was his elder brother.

The Shang Xia siblings are now facing the same question - when is the right time for a showdown.

Lou Shang was afraid of hurting Lou Xia again because he saw the bloody and blurred photos, so he was cautious.

Lou Xia still has a pimple in her heart.

Obviously, after the accident of the fifth Qiwen, Hieron Nimis has looked for her family in China, and has found it.

In the investigation report left by Teronimis to the fifth summer, there is a photo of the building and the building taken by a private detective.

Fifth Xia can't remember what her brother looked like when he was a child.

But the red heart-shaped button necklace hanging around Lou Shang's neck, which was obviously a little out of place with a boy, still caught the eyes of the fifth summer at a glance.

The necklace, which the police lined up at the scene when Fifth Qiwen died, and the bracelet worn by Fifth Xia's bloody hand was exactly the same.

After Lou Shang's repeated emphasis in the domestic hospital before, Fifth Xia had no chance to deny it if he wanted to deceive himself.

Obviously, she had found it more than ten years ago, and she had a family, why was no one willing to take her back at that time?

If she was the one who was discarded, then Fifth Xia would not have thought of going back at all.

No matter how cold Teronius was, after all, he adopted her, let her go to school, and didn't really starve her to death.

Is it the behavior of Jeronymus that is more indifferent, or the behavior of abandonment that is more unacceptable?

This is a question that the fifth summer has not yet been able to answer.

She resisted immensely, but she longed for it intensely.

This kind of longing has never been experienced in the fifth summer.

She just wanted to get close to Lou Shang uncontrollably.

Involuntarily.

Completely unreasonable.

Fifth Xia has always been a very free and easy person.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to live in good health and health.

Wanton and reckless, don't care about the facts that can't be changed, don't touch the memories you don't want.

Since childhood, Fifth Summer has been on his own.

This feeling can't be said to be bad, but in the end, there is a big piece of Fifth Xia's heart that is missing.

In the eyes of others, the dumped brother who does not eat the fireworks of the world has a very different feeling in the heart of the fifth summer.

As long as you get closer, you will not only feel warm, but also have a little worship.

What Fifth Summer needs now is to reconcile psychologically with her past.

A person who carries too much can never be happy.

If Fifth Summer could have enough time to think about where she was going, she should have made up her mind early.

However, things happened one after another.

There was no time left for the fifth summer to think about, or to escape.

Before the fifth summer had time to read the testamentary documents left to her by Teronimis, the Lou Shang people were already on Islay Island.

Before the fifth summer could digest it, Lou Shang was thrown into the hospital by her.

At the moment of the shot, Fifth Xia didn't know who was "controlling" him.

After seeing it clearly, Fifth Summer didn't regret it at the first time.

The person who held her in his arms for no reason, no matter how he fell, it was not excessive.

However, when she began to examine Lou Shang's injuries, there was no way to act as if nothing had happened.

Fifth Xia also heard that family affection is thicker than water, and she is often "burned" by literature and art and her brother's feelings.

But it wasn't until she really realized that she also had an elder brother that a strange emotion called family affection rose in the heart of the fifth summer.

At the beginning, Fifth Summer directly chose to deny and ignore it.

She, the fifth summer, how can someone who doesn't even have a mother have a brother.

After she injured Lou Shang, she claimed that she was only responsible for the medical expenses.

At that time in the fifth summer, he still had to go to the ward to strengthen his beliefs.

There is no need to stay in the hospital to pay for such a thing as paying medical bills.

Blood is thicker than water, perhaps it is an emotion that no matter how you resist, you will definitely be compatible in the end.

Compared to yesterday, only 24 hours have passed.

Lou Shang is still that Lou Shang.

The first meeting was "the scene of a car accident", and the second meeting did not leave a good impression.

But everything has changed subtly in the subjective resistance of the fifth summer.

The more she resisted, the more she remembered those fragments that had been sealed in the depths of her memory long ago.

…………………………

Whisky warehouse at the Brunschweig Distillery.

"Can I have this honor, Miss Fifth Xia, to introduce the Brunschweig Winery?" the speaker was Lou Shang, and the language used was English.

It's a little formal, and it's a little official.

This is Lou Shang's second visit to the Brunschweig Distillery.

For the first time, I had time to take a serious look at the place where Fifth Summer grew up and the winery that had been gone for many years.

Fifth, Xia spoke very little Chinese, and Lou Shang wanted to hear Lou Xia say more.

It is best to find some traces of her childhood life from the description.

"In fact, I don't know a lot about this winery. If you're interested, I can show you the history of the family. ”

Fifth, Xia pulled out a part of the thick family tree.

"Do I really have such an honor?" Lou Shang was a little flattered.

"No, you don't! The cultural ambassador has not seen anything, how can he show it to Master Lou Shang casually. Xia Xia, how can you do something that sauce purple has the opposite sex and is not capricious!" Wenyi, who was the last to come to the whisky warehouse, expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Literature and art lagged behind the time when the Fifth Xia and Lou Shang came in.

Not because of the late arrival, but because of the psychological construction that has been done at the gate of the castle for a long time.

Finally dared to walk in.

The people who said that they wanted to go to the distillery to secretly Chen Cang were literary and artistic, and the people who didn't even dare to enter the door were also literary and artistic.

If you don't think about it, if you don't come in again, the fifth Xia and Lou Shang will have to "second darkness", and with the usual character of "Puzzled Lori", they won't want to come in.

Literature and art have been to the castle twice.

The first time was when I just learned about the relationship between Fifth Summer and Brunschweig Winery, and I wanted to go in and get a "sample wine" to show the excellent promotion ability of the wine culture ambassador.

At that time, literature and art had just revealed their identity as ambassadors of wine culture.

Spirited, resolute, and in the lead, he went in regardless of the ground.

Before entering, he was majestic and high-spirited, and he didn't think about anything.

After entering, I began to be afraid.

Every second is more than the previous second, and the literature and art are more deeply aware that the Brünsweig Distillery, which has been abandoned for thirty or forty years, is eeriely like a haunted house.

The second time, it was the fifth summer who disappeared inexplicably, and he couldn't even get through on the phone.

Wenyi didn't have time to think about what the winery was like, so he rushed in next to the literary building and Shuai Ge.

The fear of Brünsweig Castle in literature and art is in a state of increment.

People who have never been to a haunted house are not necessarily afraid of haunted houses, and those who have been scared once are afraid to enter the haunted house.

But what to do?

The haunted house is scary, and the price of love is even higher.

Wenyi quickly made her own decision, and accurately blocked the "second Chen Cang" of the fifth Xia and Lou still under her nose.

"Together, look. Fifth Xia didn't particularly care, and she didn't think about doing something with literature and art behind her back.

The genealogy that Jeronymis left to the fifth summer can be split into two volumes.

The first volume is a transcription of the history of the family's whisky storage, and the second volume is the personal experience of each generation of the Brunschweig family's whisky making.

The Brunschweig family, from Strasbourg, to Ireland and finally to Islay, Scotland, is the oldest whisky-making family.

For American and Japanese whiskies, Scotch whisky can be regarded as a predecessor.

But Scotch whiskey actually comes from Ireland.

Ireland is the birthplace of whisky.

Islay's special position in the whisky world began with a large part of Islay's proximity to Ireland.

Whether in Ireland or Scotland, whisky is made in the same way as in 1512 when Dr. Brunschweig published his "Method of Distilling Mixtures" in Strasbourg.

Lou Shangcai read two pages and closed the family tree of the Brunschweig family.

"Ah Master Lou Shang, how can you be like this, you haven't finished reading the art yet!" Although the position of the ambassador of wine culture in literature and art is false, her love for wine culture is true.

"Fifth Miss Xia. Lou Shang called Lou Xia the fifth Miss Xia in English twice in a row: "This family tree has the secret of Brunschweig whisky." The secret recipe exists in the form of a family tree, and it should be that you don't want to be seen by people other than the heirs, so you better put it away first. ”

It's not the sudden rustiness, but the reason why Wenyi "ran away from home" in the morning, which is his excessive intimacy with the title of the fifth summer.

Lou Shang specially switched to English communication at this time, and a large part of it was also based on this reason.

Speaking English, he can be as formal as possible.

If it is changed to Chinese, Lou Shang is very afraid of his own smooth mouth, not just "we Xia Xia" is as simple as this.

"Ah Master Lou Shang, you always speak English to Xia Xia, don't you want him to return to China for development?"

In order to abduct Fifth Xia home, it took two years for Fifth Summer to develop the habit of speaking Chinese to her.

Some habits are difficult to cultivate, and destroying them is only a matter of moments.

"I'm afraid, if I speak Chinese, you will be angry. "Master Lou Shang is a little honestly cute at this moment.

"Ahh ”

Literature and art are indeed angry, but the point of her anger this time is not the same as that in the morning.

"Secret?" Fifth Summer was a little surprised.

To say that the next volume of the family tree, where there are many handwritten manuscripts of Brunschweigh whiskey recipes, there are secrets, and the fifth summer can still understand.

But the fifth summer is now taking out the first volume for Lou Shanghe to read Wenyi.

In other words, it is how the Whisky of the Brunschweig family has been passed down from generation to generation.

In the beginning, whisky was not stored in wooden barrels, but in clay jars, like many baijiu.

The original whisky of the Brunschweig family, or the distilled spirits that I don't know if it can be called whisky, is also not aged.

Sell it when you're done.

At that age, the winery basically did this.

With modern people's pickiness about wine, it must be very difficult to accept.

But in an era when many people didn't know what spirits were, whisky that had not been aged was also the "eaux-de-vie" that everyone sought after.

Because there are many people who like it, it is shipped abroad in large quantities.

The kings of the time, as well as the various administrators, saw the "wealth-making power" of whisky and imposed huge liquor taxes for centuries.

In order to avoid the rampant expropriation, many winemakers hid in the deep mountains and dense forests.

In the process of evading, many of the clay pots containing the whiskey were destroyed, along with the whiskey inside.

The heirs of the Brunschweig distillery were forced to hide their whisky in wooden barrels.

It's easy to transfer and lighter.

This collection has been hidden for several years.

This unintentional move resulted in the caramel color of the whisky and the cask aging of the whisky.

As a result, whisky has become the most inspiring spirit, from color to taste, it is a qualitative leap.

The first pages of the Brunschweig family tree record this unintentional fact.

Such an unintentional insertion of willows can of course be regarded as a meritorious achievement.

Enough to go down in the annals of whisky.

Because the family has not published this family tree, or rather, the family tree copied by hand from generation to generation, is not considered by the public to have historical credibility.

So no one knows about the direct relationship between the Brunschweig family and whisky cask brewing.

It's definitely a sad thing to do.

But to say that this is a secret that cannot be used by outsiders is a bit far-fetched.

Although, in the well-known history of whisky, there is no clear record of who was the first to start aging whisky in wooden barrels.

But the barrel aging of whisky has long become an "industry standard".

When will the industry standard, which even people who don't know anything about whisky know about Fifth Summer, know as a secret?

Fifth, Xia didn't feel the need to hide anything at all.
