Lin Xiao took out two small wooden lacquer bowls and filled them with Liu Mang and Wuyan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wine in the glass is amber in color, and when you smell it closely, there is a slight sour taste.

Liu Mang took a sip of the wine first, and then drank it all.

In the mouth, there was a slight sourness, then sweetness, and after a few smacks, a rush of wine came up.

The light fragrance of the blue and white plum is mixed with the intensity and mellowness of the wine and honey, and the fruity aroma blends between the lips and teeth, giving people a refreshing feeling.

"Yes, sweet and sour, the wine tastes light, but the aftertaste is long, I haven't seen this kind of wine on the market, you brewed it yourself, right?"

"That's right, this is a plum wine made from green plums, red yeast rice, and honey in imitation of the ancient method, and compared with those green plum wines sold in the market, the taste is better, and I won't get drunk for a long time. ”

The five eyes drained in one gulp, and he put the cup up and motioned for Lin Xiao to fill him with another cup.

"Xiao Linzi, although your wine is delicious, it is not the best wine I have ever drunk. The monkey wine that my boss and I went to the mountains to learn art and drink is called a cool!"

"Really, have you ever drunk monkey wine?" Lin Xiao became interested at once: "Is it really made by monkeys?"

"Yes, those monkeys are very fierce, and if the boss hadn't saved me, I would have been torn to shreds by them. ”

"Is there any monkey wine? I've only heard of monkey wine, but I've never even seen it, let alone drank it. ”

"I'm done drinking it early, unless I go to the monkey to steal it again. That taste, it's really like drinking honey, even if you are drunk to death, you are willing. Five-eyed smacked his lips, reminiscing.

"Well, that's a pity. Lin Xiao looked regretful.

"By the way, Boss, didn't you say you could make it last time? Why didn't I see any movement?" asked Five Eyes suddenly.

"Uh... This is still being studied. Liu Mang scratched his head a little embarrassed: "It should be almost, as soon as the Chef God Competition is over, I will try to brew some." ”

Liu Mang went to the space the day before yesterday to take a look, and the fruit trees planted in the space last time have only grown to more than one meter tall. It hasn't started to bear fruit yet, so there's no way to make sake for the time being.

The monkey king and his monkey grandchildren squatted under the tree every day and waited, and they could only nibble sweet potatoes and cucumbers every day, which made Liu Mang look at him with a pitiful look as soon as he entered the space.

"Really, can you really brew it?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.

"Yes. Liu Mang nodded affirmatively: "The last time I went to steal wine, I wrote down the types of mountain fruits and kudzu that monkeys use to make wine, and it should be okay to explore it myself." ”

"It's not that simple, Brother Liu. Lin Xiao was a little unconvinced.

"I've studied this for a long time, and the formation of monkey wine requires an extremely special environment, and not all monkeys can make wine, and it can't be copied artificially. Unless you catch the monkey that makes the wine, how can the monkey you catch make wine for you obediently?"

Hearing this, Liu Mang was happy: "Others can't help it, but I have a way, those monkeys who stay in the space can even plant the land, and the obedient ones can't do it, let alone help make wine." ”

"You have to try this. What if you try it? Liu Mang smiled.

"Xiao Linzi, your wine is delicious, it's delicious, but it's a little light, it's similar to a drink, do you have a strong wine here? A wine suitable for men?

"Oh, you like spirits, I've got it, you wait. Lin Xiao got up and walked to the bar, and took out a long-necked jade bottle from the cabinet there.

"Try this wine, that's what I made. ”

Lin Xiao took out three jade cups carved from white jade from the dark compartment of the table and placed them in front of Liu Mang and Wuyan.

The bright red liquor was poured out of the jade bottle and poured into the white and translucent white jade wine glass.

"Is this red wine?" asked Liu Mang and Wuyan in unison.

"Yes and no, you'll know if you taste it. Lin Xiao sold it.

Liu Mang didn't even think about it, he was stuffy when he picked it up, but he was choked and coughed again and again, and it took him half a day to recover from his senses.

"Dizzy, this wine is very strong, how can you drink it like this. Lin Xiao couldn't cry or laugh.

"Didn't you say it earlier! I thought it was just ordinary wine. Liu Mang's face turned red and he exhaled a breath of wine.

After this kind of wine enters the mouth, it is like a raging fire, and the strength is even more fierce than that of Chinese liquor!

However, the aftertaste is indescribably fragrant and long, with a primitive, bloody wild residue that is extremely unique.

"What kind of wine is this, why is it so strong?" Liu Mang couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, this is the Gaochang wine I made from the method recorded in the ancient books of Dunhuang!" Lin Xiao took a sip from his wine glass.

Volume C of the "Southern New Book" recorded: "Taizong broke Gaochang, harvested mare's milk grapes and planted them in the garden, and obtained the wine method, still from the profit and loss, the wine was made into blood, the aroma was fierce, the taste was both Daigo, and Chang'an began to know its taste." Lin Xiao shook his head and explained.

"Oh, this is the wine in the 'Luminous Cup of Grape Wine, if you want to drink the lute,' I always thought that this wine was about the same as red wine, and even lower. ”

"Of course not, look at this color, is it a little different from those Western red wines?"

Liu Mang listened, dipped some wine and twisted it on his fingertips, his fingertips were red, and the color was stronger and more viscous than ordinary red wine.

"It's the same wine, why is this wine so strong? And I feel a heat rising from my heart, warm and comfortable, and you put something else?"

"Of course, the Westerner way of making red wine is to store it in oak barrels and then ferment it naturally, while mine has to distill it and then add deer antler blood to bring out the faint bloody flavor. ”

"Distillation? Distilled liquor wasn't invented at the end of the Song Dynasty? The Song and Tang dynasties were a whole dynasty apart. Liu Mang looked surprised.

It is no wonder that Liu Mang has doubts in his heart, because the ancient literati and writers, strong men and heroes, can fight more than a dozen buckets at every turn, drink more than a dozen bowls, and not get drunk in a thousand cups. But in fact, they drink fermented wine.

For example, rice wine, rice wine, etc., the alcohol content is similar to that of today's beer. If Li Bai drank the current liquor, how could he still 'fight ten thousand golden bottles of sake'?

"You were deceived by those wild histories, according to the records of the ancient method of brewing wine I found, as early as the Tang Dynasty, distilled spirits appeared, but they were not popularized. ”

"No wonder... Gain insight again. Liu Mang held the jade cup, this time he took a sip, put the wine on the base of his tongue, and wrapped it around his mouth, and then swallowed it carefully.

"Come! I wish you a successful Chef God Competition!" Lin Xiao raised his glass.

"You too!" Liu Mang smiled faintly, pulled it away, and let the strong liquor leak down his throat, relieving his sorrow.
