Chapter 096: Because this wine needs to be tasted carefully

Two pots are served as soon as they are served.

It immediately attracted the attention of dozens of members of the Jinghai Society present.

A few tables not far away were pointed, and their tones were full of pain.

"Such a high-quality glass is actually used to hold wine?"

"Bu Zhouzi is really too extravagant!"

"In my opinion, such a big glass bottle, to say the least, is worth 100 gold, and it is really a waste of wine to contain it, a waste. ”

Master Li, Qian Yuanwai and others at the main table also looked straight at each other.

Shopkeeper Feng snorted, "Bu Zhouzi, you said that the glass bottle is filled with wine?"

Wang Chen said: "Yes, this kind of wine is called Erguotou." ”

As the name suggests, Erguotou is the "Guotou" wine when the raw materials are fired in the second pot, which is the purest, no peculiar smell, high concentration but not strong, and mellow and fragrant to drink.

Now in the early Northern Song Dynasty, distilled liquor has not yet appeared, and naturally, everyone does not understand what Erguotou is.

Of course, although there was no distilled liquor in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was still sake, so they didn't feel strange when they saw the sake in the glass bottle, but they just felt that Wang Chen was extravagant and wasteful, and he actually used "priceless" high-transparency glass to fill the wine.

"Whatever your name is, give me a drink first. Qian Yuan was still pretending to be forced, "I haven't drunk wine for a day, and I have hooked up greedy worms when I see wine!"

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Okay." He unscrewed the cap of the bottle and got up to pour the wine, "Come, put your glasses, and I'll pour you all a glass." ”

Master Li hurriedly got up and blocked: "Don't dare, don't dare, you are the founder of the fifth grade canonized by the imperial court, how dare we let you pour wine?"

Wang Chen said excitedly: "There is no emperor at the wine table, let's put aside our identities and have a good time today." ”

Seeing him say this, everyone present was slightly moved.

In ancient times, the social class phenomenon was very serious, and they all paid attention to their identity, like Wang Chenzheng's five-grade founding son, even if he had no real power, but his social status was extremely lofty, and he belonged to the aristocracy, although they all had a lot of money, but in the final analysis, they were still ordinary people, so when they saw Wang Chen put aside his identity and poured wine, they all sighed that Wang Chen had no shelf, a good person.

After a while, Wang Chen poured a small cup for each of the other nine people at the main table.

Old Man Li sniffed and said in surprise: "What a fragrant wine." ”

Master Bai also bowed, "I have never smelled such a strong aroma of wine, just by smelling the smell, I know that this wine is not much worse." ”

Qian Yuanwai smiled and said: "The beautiful scenery of a good day is matched with good wine, I can't drink it first as a respect!" After speaking, he picked up the cup and drank it in his mouth.

Wang Chen saw it clearly from the sidelines, and all the wine in the cup outside the Qian Yuan was poured into his mouth!

The crowd who had not yet tasted it asked.

"How?"

"Is this wine good?"

Especially Pan Yuanwai, he smiled and said: "There is a lot of money outside, one cup is not enough, I will add another ...... Hey, why is your face purple outside the money clerk?"

Everyone looked at it anxiously, only to see that the money clerk's face was purple all over the place, and his throat was rumbling as if he was swallowing the wine very hard.

Wang Chen looked secretly funny, it was estimated that Qian Yuanwai was spicy, and he thought that Qian Yuanwai would not be able to help but spit it out.

What I didn't expect was that Qian Yuan's endurance was very good, even if his face turned from purple to blue, he still swallowed the wine hard, and then, he pretended to be silent and lifted the chopsticks to eat the vegetables, and his mouth was vague to defend himself: "I'm hungry, I'll eat something first." ”

Pan Yuanwai asked, "Is this wine delicious?"

"Good! It's very delicious!" Qian Yuanwai boasted: "If Li Bai is reincarnated, he will definitely love it." In fact, he was secretly scolding in his heart, what a fart, the tears of Lao Tzu were about to come out, but the money clerk was very bad, he couldn't suffer this crime alone, he had to share the joys and sorrows with everyone present, otherwise how wronged.

On the contrary, Wang Chen was a little incomprehensible, and he really thought that Qian Yuan liked it.

When Master Li and the others heard that the Qian Yuan, who loved wine like life, praised him like this, they were all happy.

"Good wine is rare. ”

"Then I'll try it too. ”

The other eight people at the main table each drank with their glasses, some of them drank it all as well as Qian Yuanwai, and some of them took half a sip.

Wang Chen looked over expectantly, wanting to see if everyone's reaction was the same as Qian Yuanwai.

Outcome......

The scene was tragic!

Master Li snorted and spit the wine on the ground.

Pan Yuanwai's two eyes were like dead fish eyes, covering his throat and grunting, and he exclaimed, "Yes...... Poisonous!"

Mr. Bai, who drank a little less, kept sticking out his tongue, "Spicy mouth! Spicy mouth!"

The other people reacted similarly, and their faces were basically red!

At this time, Qian Yuanwai suddenly burst out laughing, and his tears came out, and he didn't know if he was laughing or being spicy by the second pot just now.

The members of the Jinghai Society at several tables nearby were all taken aback.

"What's wrong with them?"

"Could it be that Buzhouzi has poison in his wine?"

"Do you really imagine, who poisoned so openly?"

These people are a little puzzled, since it can't be poisoned, then what's the matter with Master Li?

Looking at the situation, Wang Chen knew that everyone must not be used to the high number of liquor, and if they are not adaptable, they don't know how they feel about liquor.

Just about to ask, Master Li was angrily scolded at the money clerk, "Okay, you Qian Erlang, even the old man dares to play?"

Master Bai, Pan Yuanwai and others also denounced.

"You have bad intentions!"

"It's not shallow to hurt people, it's not shallow to hurt people!"

"I'm all in your way, what kind of wine is this? It's clearly a fire in my throat!"

Qian Yuan was afraid of arousing public anger, so he hurriedly apologized: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll just find a joke." ”

Hearing him apologize, everyone's anger faded a little.

On the contrary, Wang Chen was a little impatient and asked, "What do you think of my wine?"

Only then did everyone react, the culprit was not only Qian Yuan, but also Wang Chen!

However, Wang Chen is the founder of the country in the end, and they dare not reprimand them like they did to Qian Yuanwai, and their tone is very tactful.

Master Li smiled bitterly: "This wine ...... Too spicy. ”

Pan Yuanwai, who shouted "poison" just now, also shook his head and said: "Incense is incense, I really can't drink it." ”

"It's like a knife that's been burned in a fire and stuffed into your mouth. ”

Everyone doesn't approve of baijiu.

Wang Chen was very disappointed, it seems that the soju culture cannot be promoted for the time being.

It doesn't matter, buddy still has a kind of wine.

He thought for a moment, took out a bottle of beer from underneath, and said with a smile: "Since you don't like Erguotou, come and try another good wine I broughtβ€”beer." ”

They had already seen wine in glass bottles once, and they were already surprised, but this time everyone was not fooled, and the feeling of burning their throats in the second pot had not eased.

Qian Yuanwai waved his hand again and again, "Bu Zhouzi, you let us go, your wine is too strong, I can't stand it, I can't stand it." ”

Can't stand it?

Who said to drink a hundred or ten cups just now?

Wang Chen rolled his eyes and looked at the others.

Master Li and the others also changed their faces, and they all smiled and refused.

Pan Yuanwai was even more frightened and hurriedly urged the shopkeeper, "Hurry up and serve us wine, quickly!"

This move seems to be slow, Wang Chen will kill them!

Wang Chen was very speechless, and his mouth was still persuading, "The beer is not strong, you can try it." ”

may consider Wang Chen's identity, Qian Yuanwai had no choice but to reluctantly embarrass him: "I...... I'll try half a cup. He didn't dare to say that he drank a hundred or ten cups anymore, not even one cup, only half a cup.

The others didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Wang Chen would "catch a strong man" and drink poison-like wine.

Wang Chen pried open the lid of the beer on the stool and poured half a glass for the money clerk.

Qian Yuan picked up the wine glass and carefully sipped it, then his eyes lit up, and he belched: "This wine is delicious, it has a malty taste, good wine, good wine." ”

Master Li pouted, "Don't you want to lie to me again." ”

Another Xu Yuanwai, who is in his sixties, also said: "It is enough to be fooled once, and the old man will not be fooled a second time." ”

They all made up their minds, no matter how much the money clerk blew outside, they just didn't drink.

Wang Chen was quite helpless, so he had to pour himself a cup, and the money clerk touched the cup and said, "If they don't drink, let's have a cup." ”

"Good, good. Qian Yuanwai smiled and said, "This wine and my appetite." ”

While the two were talking, they had already drunk.

The other people at the main table saw Wang Chen drinking, and Gu is face to face.

I don't know what came to mind, Master Li also said, "Why don't you give me a drink?"

Wang Chen was overjoyed and said busily: "Okay." ”

Master Li took the bottle and poured it himself, took a sip of the wine glass, and said, "What a strange taste." ”

Pan Yuanwai also became interested, "I'll try it too." He also drank it upside down, and after half a ring, he smiled bitterly: "Why does it smell of horse urine?"

Seeing the mixed reviews, Master Bai, Xu Yuanwai and others were curious and tried one by one.

"Delicious!"

"It's okay. ”

"It's not delicious, just like Pan Yuanwai said, it smells of horse urine. ”

Wang Chen, who listened to everyone's words, was overjoyed.

Why?

Because beer is a mixed bag in modern society, people who like it like it very much, and people who don't like it avoid it like poison.

Wang Chen is already wondering whether to build a brewery, but hops are needed to make beer, and for the time being, they can only be brought from modern society, by the way, get some seeds, grow them themselves, and wait until the hops mature to form a virtuous circle, and then don't rely on modern society.

It's just that he feels a little pity.

Distilled spirits are not very popular with everyone, otherwise it is relatively simple to manufacture, mainly because there is no need for hops, and as for distillation equipment, it can be purchased with money in modern society, which is not a big problem.

Wang Chen was a little puzzled, liquor is so popular in modern society, why did it look like this in the Northern Song Dynasty?

If you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out.

It's a fact that people don't like it.

He simply didn't think about it, and drank and ate with everyone first, preparing to talk about wood and stone later.

There are three or five people who don't like beer, and they don't like liquor, and they drink the spring and autumn liquor provided by the restaurant, which is often drunk by everyone, and generally speaking, they can satisfy their appetites.

While drinking, Pan Yuanwai suddenly frowned, "This wine is mixed with water?"

Master Bai also said: "It tastes bad when you drink it." ”

But a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old man at the next table said, "No, it's quite mellow." ”

Pan Yuanwai didn't believe it, stretched out his hand and said, "Take the wine from your table and drink it to me." ”

The young man handed the flask over.

Pan Yuanwai poured a cup and tasted it, but still frowned and said, "It's tasteless." ”

The young man smiled: "Pan Yuanwai, didn't you just get a taste for the spicy tongue, right?"

"No, I eat food that tastes. Pan Yuanwai denied.

Xu Yuanwai followed: "Today's little wine tastes strangely unexciting, and I always feel as light as water." ”

Wang Chen also felt strange, what's the matter with this group of people, they still feel bored after drinking their favorite wine?

Suddenly, Pan Yuanwai seemed to think of something, and took the initiative to say: "Bu Zhouzi, give me a little more of your second pot?"

Wang Chen didn't know why, so he picked up the liquor from the ground and handed it over.

Under the gaze of everyone, Pan Yuan poured a cup, put it to his lips and sipped it slightly, and then closed his eyes.

Wang Chen looked carefully.

In other words, everyone present was staring at Pan Yuanwai, and they couldn't figure out what Pan Yuanwai was doing.

Who knew that after half a ring, Pan Yuanwai opened his eyes slowly, nodded and praised endlessly: "Okay! I finally understand why Bu Zhouzi said that this wine is the best wine!"

Qian Yuan was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Pan Yuanwai pinched the wine glass, his eyes revealed joy, and said: "Because, this wine needs to be tasted carefully!"
