Chapter 273: The Brewing Workshop in the Depths of the Alley
It rained for three days in a row, and the sky finally cleared, Lan Xin pushed open the window, and a wind with a chill and earthy smell blew into the house, she shivered coldly, and eased up in a moment, and saw that there was already some morning light outside, and said happily: "Girl, I finally don't have to wet my shoes and trousers when I go out today." ”
Yao Yan combed his hair and turned around, and said with a smile: "After this rain, this cold winter is about to pass, a rain has washed away the snow, and the weather will be warmer and warmer in the future." ”
She walked out of the door, Lan Xin followed, the two came to the kitchen, Yao Xi started to cut vegetables, Lan Xin obediently lit the fire, and said helplessly while burning the fire: "Girl, Lan Xin can do these things, Lan Xin gets up early every day, and when she gets up, she has nothing to do and is idle." ”
Lan Xin got up early to cook breakfast two days ago, and when Yao Xi got up, she could eat, but Yao Xi said that she would not let her do it, she really couldn't help it, so she got up with Yao Xi every day, and the two of them came to cook rice after getting up, she was responsible for lighting the fire, and Yao Xi was responsible for stir-frying.
"I love cooking. Yao laughed.
Lan Xin shrugged helplessly: "But the dishes cooked by the girl are really delicious, Lan Xin has never tasted such a delicious taste in the Wu family before, obviously they are all put in the same ingredients, and they were fried by the girl, and they immediately changed." ”
"I've been working for my mother since I was a child, and I've learned it early, but my mother's cooking is more delicious, and I'm worth half of my mother's craftsmanship. Yao Xian smiled.
The two little girls chatted with me one by one, a stack of green vegetables and yesterday's leftover steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, and breakfast was sent away.
After breakfast, Lan Xin said that she would insist on cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Yao Xi also followed her, went to the room to prepare things by herself, and when Lan Xin finished cleaning up the kitchen and then entered the house, Yao Xi had already collapsed a small cloth bag on her body, her hair was also curled on the top of her head like a man, a wooden hairpin was pinned, and she was dressed in a strong suit, because she was taller than ordinary women, and because of her thin body, she looked like a young man.
Lan Xin is not surprised, the girl has been dressed like this when she goes out these days, although it is for convenience, but she also understands that the girl is not a layman, and she can't be an ordinary person, let alone an ordinary woman.
After everything was cleaned up, the two of them left Jinbuju, went all the way east, walked out of Shamao Street, turned into Xiaoxiang Hutong, and turned around in the alley of Hutong for two quarters of an hour, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard where a "wine" was hung in front of the door.
Although the courtyard looks very shabby, there is a mellow and sweet smell of wine-making around it, and this place where Yao Xian came is a wine-making workshop.
The first time Lan Xin came, she thought she was in the wrong place, she just asked someone to inquire about where there was a wine-making workshop near Shamao Street, and asked several people and said that there was the best winery here, since everyone said that it was good, it must be good, so she brought Yao Shi here.
It's just the first time I came, and it took me half an hour to find a place in the alley, and the door plaques are still bad, and it doesn't look like any characteristic, but the aroma of the wine is very intoxicating, if it weren't for the fact that they asked about the aroma of wine as soon as they entered the alley, they wouldn't have been able to persist for more than half an hour to find it.
This alley is also quite strange, there are not many people living in the alley, but as soon as the hour passes, there will be a large number of maids or small servants or scholars or merchants, etc., all kinds of characters will come to the door, blocking the door and the water is impassable, and as soon as you enter the yard, you will become very honest and regular, and you will line up to get wine.
These people all came from afar to buy wine, Lan Xin knew that he had found the right place, but he was still puzzled, since it was so popular, why not open a shop on the outer street, why in such a remote and dilapidated place?
The two walked to the door, and Lan Xin took the lead in knocking on the door and shouting, "Mr. Pei, we are here." ”
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and as soon as it opened, a rich aroma of wine came to his face, Yao Yan took a deep breath and sighed: "Mr. is brewing rice wine today." ”
The man who was called Mr. Pei, dressed in a linen clothes, dressed like a farmer working in the countryside in the crops, the man looked like he was just in his early twenties, although he was dressed very ordinary, but his face was very delicate and good-looking.
"Mr. Pei is so ----" Yao Xian stepped forward with a smile obediently, and helped Pei Zifeng carry a bucket on the ground into the workshop, and Lan Xin quickly followed into the workshop.
It is said to be a workshop, but it is actually a very large house, which used to be a courtyard that must have been entered, but later it was transformed into a large house, and inside the house, there are all kinds of wine tanks, large wooden barrels, in short, it is a very simple wine-making workshop.
But it is such a simplicity that the wine brewed here has made many people in Beijing come here, and even many dignitaries and dignitaries buy wine here, and the wine brewed here has no name, nor is it sold in a pot, everyone brings their own pots to make wine. Although it doesn't have a name, it's more popular than many famous sakes.
Smelling the aroma of the wine, Yao Yan said bluntly: "My mother used to like to make rice wine, I drank rice wine when I was a child, and then when I grew up, during the New Year's Festival, my father could let me drink some other wine." ”
She put down the barrel and came to a tightly sealed Dagang, sniffed, and suddenly felt her whole heart feel comfortable. At this time, she couldn't help but feel that she was lucky, and it was really unexpected to find Pei Zifeng.
In the past, when I was in Xiaxiang County, the wine at home was brewed by the Yan family, firstly, to save money, and secondly, the wine brewed by the Yan family was also delicious, so the family never bought wine, and Yao Xi himself learned a lot from childhood. Osmanthus wine is what she is best at, in addition, she will do any rice wine, rice wine, wheat wine, chrysanthemum wine, and she found Pei Zifeng, but also wanted to make a few jars of unique wine here.
Although Pei Zifeng is young, his single-handed winemaking skills are the only good winemaker Yao Shi has seen after Yan. This kind of work of making wine is not talented to make good taste, and Pei Zifeng, who is in his early twenties, must have put in a lot of hard work, so Yao Xian admires him very much.
Pei Zifeng's personality and physical fitness really don't match that handsome face, he doesn't talk much, he still looks a little repulsive, and his temper is also very weird, when Yao Xian came for the first time, because he came late, it was crowded with people outside, but the door was always closed.
At that time, it was still raining heavily, and everyone was waiting for the last person to come out, but there was a small guy who came out, but he was unwilling and scolded, it turned out that the little guy wanted to buy two taels of wine, but the owner inside only sold one or two, and he didn't do much silver.
At that time, Yao Shi even suspected that he was going to run for nothing, but he didn't expect to see Pei Zifeng say his request in the end, so he only brought a glass of wine for Yao Shi to drink, and asked her to talk about his evaluation.
Yao Shi said a few words, Pei Zifeng nodded, and only said that she would come over before the hour every day in the future, and for the next three days, Yao Shi would come here before the hour every day.
