Chapter 418: Blue and White Dragon Jar (I)
After a while, Big Tooth really called a few bottles of plum wine, I don't know how long it had been soaked, and the wine juice had a transparent texture of yellow wax wax.
"Good stuff!" As soon as Big Tooth entered the door, he only praised, "This wine is sticky, and it can be shredded when it drips!" How many years have this been! ”
When Lao Zhang heard him say this, he smiled, blinked his eyes, and said proudly: "How many years, I can't say well, it depends on your luck, maybe you can drink the original taste of decades ago!" ”
"What do you mean? You can't make this wine from when you were a kid, do you? When Big Tooth heard this, he was shocked, can this be wine? Even if it's a serious Moutai and it's completely sealed, it can't stand being put on hold like this, shouldn't something come out of it?
"Yes and no!" Lao Zhang is still selling Guanzi, but his wife can't stand it anymore, and she talks a lot.
It turns out that their old Zhang family doesn't know when they have lived here, in addition to tinkering with that little field, occasionally going up the mountain to hunt, and then getting some fruit trees or something, so generations have the habit of making fruit wine, there are several large and small wine tanks at home, the wine in it has not been broken, and after a few years, some will be opened out to drink, but not completely drunk, but leave a bottom, as a wine introduction, almost, add wine and green plums into it, continue to seal it, and put it in the shade.
This tradition was almost broken in the era of great turmoil, especially during the great famine, and in the era of lack of food and food to the point of starving people everywhere, where is the ability to make wine? It is also the old Zhangtou's father eye-catching, he sealed a few cylinders early and buried them in the mountains, plus their generation was not very populated, and the villagers were still very friendly to each other.
Later, Lao Zhang picked up these jars and filled them with wine again! I don't know how many different years of plum wine have been mixed in it, so Lao Zhangtou said so.
And such an allusion? Big Tooth slapped his thigh and shouted again and again, "Legend! Absolutely legendary! ”
Wu Chen and Wang Yuyuan looked at each other, and they also felt that it was incredible, his heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "Auntie, can you also take me to see your wine?" ”
As soon as Wu Chen's words came out, not only Wang Yuyuan was a little surprised, but even Big Tooth looked at him suspiciously, this wood has always disliked drinking, what's wrong with it today? Could it be that these old wines are also antiques?
Thinking about it this way, it is also possible, listening to what Lao Zhangtou said, how can these wines be dripping for hundreds of years? According to the classification of foreign wines, it is definitely worthy of XO, or even XXOO level! It's okay to say it's a century-old wine, but let them toss it so much, there isn't much wine left.
Lao Zhang thought that Wu Chen had taken a fancy to his wine, but this was not the first one, as far as his large vat of old wine was concerned, the boss kept asking about it, and a few days ago, the old man also sold a vat at a price of 300,000 yuan, and the requirement was to leave some wine base.
Wang Yuyuan was not interested in this wine, so he accompanied the eldest lady and the little girl who showed them the way, chatting in the hall, Wu Chen and Daya followed Lao Zhangtou to a dark small utility room next door, the loess surface was full of sundries, and there were old dustpans on several wooden shelves. In the corner of the room, there are several jars of different heights and sizes, and as soon as you get closer, you can smell a faint smell of wine, and it does not rush to the nose at all.
At the head of it was a large water tank, one meter two or three high, which could reach the navel of a person, covered with a lid made of wooden boards, and the top and surrounding areas were tightly wrapped with rags and nylon paper.
"What a big tank!"
The lights were dim, Wu Chen took a look, and saw that the tank was an ordinary big water tank, this kind of water tank was in the countryside in the past, almost every household had one, nothing rare, so he praised casually, but people looked inside.
"It's this tank, it's just opened!" Big Tooth followed him, pointing to a clay jar about half a person high, a bit like a large waist drum on the side, and said, Seeing is believing, the wine in it, that is the old wine, if Wu Chen really wants it, he recommends buying this jar, and the shape of this jar belongs to the kind that is high but not wide, and it is convenient to put in the car.
"Hmm!" Wu Chen squatted down and knocked on the surface of the cylinder with his hand, his voice was dull, obviously it was full of wine. Because of the long soaking of fruit wine, the exterior has a layer of cold moistness.
"Hehe, it's all the same, only the difference in size, and the age is about the same!" Lao Zhang hunched his waist and followed behind them, and when he saw Wu Chen looking carefully, he thought he was picking wine, so he explained it to him.
"Well, I'm just going to take a look." Wu Chen stood up and said lightly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, it seems that these vats are indeed some years old, but most of them are used in the countryside, and there are even some of them burned after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in terms of value, they are almost negligible.
Just like that big water tank, there are many of them in the village, when they were young, boys like this, help adults fetch water and fill the tank, which is a daily work. Even now, most of them dig a small well in their own homes and use shaking pumps, but there are still many people who keep such large water storage tanks. Say it's expensive or not, if you really want it, a few hundred yuan a bite, let you carry it.
"Don't worry about him, he's just grinding hard." Big Tooth is also a little impatient in his heart, isn't it just a jar of wine, it's all the same, just carry a jar and go, you don't need to pick it up so much? It's not to buy Moutai in the market, I'm afraid of picking a fake!
Wu Chen turned around and smiled at them, pointed to the cylinder that had just been opened, and said, "Otherwise, ......"
Before he finished speaking, he stopped, it turned out that on the side of this tank, there was another strange tank with a unique appearance, because of the light, I didn't notice it just now.
The general cylinder is to pay attention to the big belly, which is not only convenient for sealing, but also can increase the volume. And this mouth looks like an opening, some like a bowl, but the scale is much larger, at a glance, about 70 centimeters high, the radius of the edge of the mouth has to be more than one meter, down and gradually trimmed, to the foot, the radius is estimated to be sixty or seventy centimeters.
In Wu Chen's impression, very few people use this kind of so-called large vat that is not practical, should it be another missing baby?
However, when Wu Chen squatted down to check, he almost lost his laughter, and immediately felt a sense of self-deprecation.
