Chapter 228: The Meaning of the Great Aunt
Among the Yuelai restaurants, Yuan Chang and others came to drink happily. Of course, the 1,000 yuan that Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Han Sui put together was not enough to make a big deal of fish and meat, and in the end, Yuan Chang added a little bit of heartache, otherwise, everyone would probably have to eat green vegetables in white water.
In order to celebrate Yuan Chang's promotion to Bohai Taishou, this time people close to Yuan Chang came, even Diao Xiu'er, who rarely used the road.
Of course, Zhang, the mother of the Zhen family's daughters, congratulated Yuan Chang, but did not come, after all, she was relatively old, and if she appeared on such an occasion, it is estimated that everyone would also feel restrained. And Zhen Rong, the fourth of the five daughters of the Zhen family, did not come, she has always been quiet, and she usually stays in the room to read, and everyone knows her character and does not say anything. And Zhen Rong stayed, just enough to take care of the Zhang family.
Yuan Chang, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Han Sui and Peter were six men outside the private room, and Liu Xi, the four daughters of the Zhen family, Diao Xiu'er, and Yuan Chang's sister-in-law Shangguan Haitang and the seven daughters were inside the private room, separated by a wooden door. Although there are not too many restrictions on women now, but a group of big men drink, if they are outside, it is estimated that even Dian Wei will feel embarrassed.
"Come, come, celebrate the lord's ascension to the throne, and we will drink this glass of wine together!"
Dian Wei was the most excited, although several of them were exploited by Yuan Chang. However, because there were so many women joining, that little money was definitely not enough, and in the end, it was Yuan Chang who came out on top, and their hearts were balanced.
Moreover, inviting all the women to come together to celebrate was also Guo Jia's idea.
Everyone understands Yuan Chang's temperament, and knows that with the addition of women, no matter how stingy Yuan Chang is, he will be willing to spend money. Sure enough, when Yuan Chang learned that the girls were coming, he decisively asked the boss to serve good wine and food, and the account was all on his head.
"It's done!"
Yuan Chang gritted his teeth, and drank the wine in the cup with blood dripping from his heart. Originally, he just wanted a few people to celebrate casually, but who knew that the women were also here. Yuan Chang didn't have to think about it, he knew that this was Guo Jia's idea. But when people come, they come, and he can only vent his frustration on the wine and food on the table, and the food is more ferocious than Dian Wei.
When Guo Jia and Zhao Yun saw it, they all smiled secretly in their hearts, and sure enough, they still saw Yuan Chang deflated, and their mood was comfortable.
"Dear Yuan, you told me about brewing wine before, I have already made some, do you want to try it?"
When the wine was hot, Peter, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said to Yuan Chang, with a look of excitement on his face.
Peter wasn't excited, Yuan Chang told him at the beginning, Peter made wine and then sold it, and when he scraped enough money, he could hire guards to return to his country. Originally, Peter had accepted his fate and felt that he could only stay here for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect him to meet Yuan Chang, a native of the Central Plains who could communicate with him. And Yuan Chang is also willing to help him return to his own country, so Peter will naturally not let go of this opportunity. Of course, in his heart, Peter was grateful to Yuan Chang. Therefore, after the wine is brewed, the first thing that comes to mind is Yuan Chang.
"Oh, really, take it out and taste it. ”
Yuan Chang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said to Peter eagerly.
Western wine is not like Eastern wine, the longer it is stored, the more mellow it becomes, as long as it is brewed, it can be drunk after a period of storage, of course, it can be stored for a few years, so that the red wine will be more mellow. In my previous life, I often heard about Lafite in a five-star hotel, and I felt that Western red wine seemed to be precious. Actually, this is not the case.
Whether Western red wine is precious or not depends on the material.
Just like the very famous 82-year-old Lafite, when it became famous, it was only 20 years, and many red wines in the West were not stored for a lower period than it, but why is the 82-year-old Lafite more expensive? The reason is naturally because of its materials.
Lafite is a wine, its origin is the Lafite estate in France, and in 82 years, the climate at that time was the best season for grape growth in the past 100 years, rainfall, sunshine, and harvest weather, all made the grapes at that time reach the point of perfection. Therefore, the red wine brewed is naturally also top-notch. That's why Lafite '82 is so precious.
Today's season is naturally no grapes, after all, there is no greenhouse cultivation technology, and even if there is greenhouse cultivation technology, the wine of this season is not very good. As a result, Peter made rum made from sugar cane.
There are three types of rum, the first is stored for a short period of time, a few months to a year or so, and the wine taste is drier; the second is stored for a medium time, about five years, and the wine has a strong flavor, this kind of rum is also the most popular, especially for Westerners who are colder in some places, and they like to drink this kind of rum the most; the third type has the longest storage time, at least ten years, and the mellow taste of this rum is endless. However, this wine is usually drunk by Western aristocrats, but it is a luxury. Of course, although the three wines have been stored for different periods of time, they all have similar alcohol content.
The rum that Peter brews is not very long, and it is naturally the drier one.
When they learned about the new wine brewed by Peter, everyone was naturally looking forward to it, and Dian Wei was even more unbearable to stretch out the cup in front of Peter, directly ignoring Yuan Chang's existence.
Yuan Chang was speechless, of course he wouldn't think Dian Wei's behavior was rude, and after everyone's cups were filled with rum, Dian Wei couldn't wait to drink it all in one gulp.
"Tsk, tsk!"
Dian Wei smashed it, smashed his mouth, seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "The taste is not good, it is a little astringent, but the strength is okay!"
The alcohol content of rum is about 40 degrees, and before the Song Dynasty in China, the alcohol content was basically around 20 degrees, until the Song Dynasty because of the development of industry and commerce, the technology of distilled liquor appeared, and there was a high degree of liquor at that time. Dian Wei usually drinks wine of about 20 degrees, and after drinking this 40 degree rum, he naturally feels very strong.
Yuan Chang glanced at Dian Wei dissatisfied, and said with a sneering expression: "How can you taste the taste of drinking red wine like you?" To drink red wine, you must first shake the cup, and then pour some wine into your mouth, first moisten your tongue, and then pour it slowly to taste the taste. ”
Yuan Chang actually didn't drink red wine so high-end, but whoever let him watch TV, pretending to be forced in front of Dian Wei, a little white, was naturally very successful.
After listening to Yuan Chang's words, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Han Sui naturally did what Yuan Chang said. As for Peter, he came from the Roman Empire, so he didn't know how to taste red wine? Since Yuan Chang could speak the language of the Roman Empire and knew how to taste red wine, Peter would not be surprised.
"Hmm!"
Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Han Sui slowly poured the red wine into their mouths according to Yuan Chang's method, and when the unique smell of rum flowed down their throats, the three of them couldn't help but make a ** sound, and closed their eyes to feel it carefully. That expression, like the comfortable appearance of ** after having sex with a woman, I was reluctant to open my eyes for a long time.
Dian Wei was dumbfounded, could it be that according to Yuan Chang's method, it was really delicious? So, Dian Wei pitifully stretched out the wine glass in front of Peter again, and its purpose was self-evident.
Peter did not refuse, and he was very happy that someone liked the wine he made.
Dangdian Wei also poured the wine into his mouth according to Yuan Chang's method, and his face also showed the high-rise expression of Guo Jia and the others, with his fierce face, but it made people feel extremely weird.
"Good wine, good wine!"
"If you can drink such a fine wine, what regrets do you have in life!"
"Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, drink such a good wine, very lucky!"
After tasting the wine, the three of them opened their eyes for a long time and praised them at the same time. Afterwards, all three of them gave Peter a thumbs up in admiration, and although the language was incomprehensible, the gesture was international.
"I'm a mother, this wine is really delicious, what, Peter, give me another bowl!"
After Dian Wei tasted it, he couldn't help but howl, Yuan Chang was in the same condition, and immediately kicked Dian Wei away without hesitation. Peter only made a little bit for everyone to taste this time, not a lot, and there wasn't much left after one cup per person. There are good things Yuan Chang naturally wants to share together, how can he forget the women inside.
However, if everyone knew Yuan Chang's thoughts, they would definitely despise it. If it weren't for the beauty inside, would Yuan Chang still be so generous? It's a pity that everyone didn't know Yuan Chang's thoughts.
When Guo Jia and the four of them finished tasting, Yuan Chang and Peter picked up the cups, the two looked at each other and smiled, and touched the cups gently.
"Cheers!"
Guo Jia and the four of them were stunned, could it be that there is such an expression for drinking in the West?
Yuan Chang ignored Guo Jia and the others, and asked for the porcelain bottle containing rum from Peter. The best tool for drinking red wine is naturally the glass, but now there is no such condition, although there is glass, it is extremely rough, and it will affect the taste of the red wine, so Peter had to settle for the second best thing, and use a delicate porcelain bottle to hold the red wine, which is not bad.
Yuan Chang poured some for all the women inside and taught them how to drink.
"Hee-hee, big villain, I didn't expect you to know so much about the Western Regions. ”
would talk to Yuan Chang like this, naturally only Zhen Mi, the little Lori, and the girls were used to seeing the two bickering, so they didn't say anything.
Yuan Chang raised his head and said proudly: "Then don't look at who it is, my son is known as knowing astronomy and geography, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Bai Xiaosheng, how can there be something that this son doesn't know." Even if your eldest aunt, Ben Gongzi pinched her fingers, she knew when she would come. ”
"Hmm, big villain, are you drunk, we don't have a big aunt in our family. ”
Zhen Mi's little Lori flashed her eyes like black jewels, and asked puzzledly.
Of course, Yuan Chang wouldn't tell her what the eldest aunt was, otherwise, maybe he would suffer again. At that moment, Yuan Chang ran out directly.
"Big villain, tell me quickly, what do you mean by big aunt!"
Zhen Mi's wisdom really should not be underestimated, she felt that Yuan Chang's aunt had other intentions, crossed her hands on her waist, and asked loudly. Fortunately, Zhen Jiang felt that Zhen Mi's behavior was very unladylike and stopped her, otherwise Yuan Chang might not be able to help but say it
