"You saw monkeys make wine with your own eyes?" Zhao Yun repeated Su Ming's words, his voice slightly raised, and there was obviously some disbelief in his tone.

"Not really."

Su Ming thought about it and told him what was going on in the small valley in the back mountain. However, he concealed part of the truth, and did not say that it was the wine brewed by the monkey king in the zoo, but only said that he went to play in the mountains behind, and met a few monkeys who were staggering, and then he was bold to follow, and those monkeys saw that someone was coming, so they screamed and ran away, and they chased after him in the valley and found this monkey wine.

Zhao Yun nodded, this is over, the monkey is not a winemaker, how can he make wine to humans in person?

He asked with great interest, "Is the wine-making tree still there?" ”

"Yes." Su Ming nodded.

"So, you come with me!"

Zhao Yun thought about it, and didn't care about eating, so he stood up and walked upstairs.

"Open dinner...... Zhao Qian ran out of the kitchen with an apron, but saw Zhao Yun taking Su Ming to the second floor, she rubbed her hands on the apron, chased two steps, stood at the bottom of the stairs and shouted at Su Ming's back: "Lao Zhao, what are you doing, take Xiao Su down to eat!" ”

"Wait." Zhao Yun waved his hand without looking back, and pulled Su Ming into the study on the second floor.

The study area is not large, and there are a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and at a glance it is definitely not the kind of bargain on the stall.

An entire wall of the study has been transformed into a large cupboard, on which a lot of porcelain and other things are placed, and the cabinet is specially locked with tempered glass.

Zhao Yun squatted in front of a safe, twisted a few times, opened the door, took out a wine glass from it, and gently placed it on the table.

The wine glass was about the same size as the small wine glass that people drink now, but it was pale cyan, I don't know what material it was made of, and there were wisps of fine lines on the glass.

The study was on the sunny side, the light was dim, and Zhao Yun didn't turn on the light, but in the dimness, he saw that the wine glass was slightly shiny, as if it was covered in a layer of fog.

"This cup is a luminous cup, the ancients said, grape wine luminous cup, drink wine, you have to use a luminous cup."

Zhao Yun leaned on a Taishi chair, played with the luminous cup, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, this is not entirely true. Wine is a kind of fruit wine, and the best way to taste any fruit wine is to use a glow-in-the-dark glass as a container. Fruit wine is the king of fruit wine, so naturally it should be used in luminous glasses. ”

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he took the monkey wine given by Su Ming, and carefully poured a full cup into the luminous cup.

The study was suddenly filled with a mellow aroma of wine.

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, he raised the cup and put it under his nose and took a deep breath, then raised his glass and drank it all, closed his eyes, played with the luminous cup in his hand, and seemed to be reminiscing about the mellow aroma of monkey wine in his mouth, and after a long time, he exhaled deeply and reopened his eyes.

"Good wine! It's not the kind of fake monkey wine sold in the market. Zhao Yun gave Su Ming a thumbs up.

"I also think this wine tastes very special, so I gave it to you." Su Ming said with a smile.

"Wine is good wine, don't say it! However, Xiao Su, I can't accept this bottle of wine! ”

Su Ming was stunned: "Why, is there something wrong with this wine, unhygienic?" ”

"It's not, since it's fermented into wine, there won't be any bacteria, even if it's a little unhygienic, it's harmless. We're not doctors, so there's no need to pay so much attention. ”

Zhao Yun smiled and waved his hand, explaining: "Wine is the most sterilizing, some old wine, after being cellared in the ancient tomb for thousands of years, people can still drink it, that's the reason." I mean, your bottle of monkey wine is worth a lot of money. And I invite you here today to thank you for your life-saving kindness to Orange Orange, if you accept your monkey wine again, it will be too much to take advantage of you. So I can't ask for this gift. ”

"Can this be sold for money?" Su Ming didn't think much about this problem, although the monkey wine is very popular, but this thing can't be mass-produced, and secondly, I haven't heard of monkey wine selling at a high price in the market.

I have no fame, no background, holding a bottle of strange wine, saying that this is made by monkeys, and it will be sold at a high price, and it is strange that some people believe it!

"Listen to me tell you slowly, I'm in the business of antiques, and the value of your monkey wine is somewhat similar to that of antiques. Let's say, why is a thing worth a lot? First, it is less, the rarer the thing, the more expensive it is, Hanyu is valuable, I tell you, if within a month, more than a dozen pieces appear on the market in Yangchuan City, and the price of this thing will go down immediately;

Second, find the right buyer. For example, if you like porcelain, if you have to buy calligraphy and paintings for him, even if he is willing to buy it, it is to make money, and he is naturally reluctant to pay a high price, but if you find a piece of Tang Sancai for him, it will be like putting a beauty in front of a pervert, he may borrow money to buy it, because this is something that can be met but not sought, after this village, there is no such shop.

Thirdly, of course, the quality of the thing itself. Although you say that this is monkey wine, but what is the condition, I can't make a conclusion, I am engaged in collection, but not wine tasting. ”

"Is there a high or low quality of monkey wine? Tell me about it. Su Ming was also a little interested.

Zhao Yun tapped a few times on the table with his slender fingers, and said without hurrying or slowing: "Monkey wine is a general term, and if it is subdivided, it is divided into several categories.

First, it is called 'liquid liquor', the monkey takes the hundred fruits and ferments them in one place, the juice drips, and the initial drop is 'hundred fruit liquor', and a large number of hundred fruit juice is gathered and fermented for the second time, which can be called 'hundred fruit brewing'. The value of this second fermentation of 100 fruit juice is naturally higher than that of 100 fruit juice of first fermentation, because the monkey is greedy and often smells the fragrance, and will drink up those 100 fruit juice without waiting for the liquid to be brewed.

The second fermentation is not the end, there is a third fermentation, and when all the fruits no longer have juice dripping, the resulting Baiguo Brew is sealed in one place, and the three fermentations produce a strong wine flavor, which can be called real monkey wine. ”

Su Ming recalled in his heart that the Monkey King finally threw away all the fruits that no longer dripped liquid, so to speak, this should be a three-fermented monkey wine.

Zhao Yun didn't know that Su Ming already had a judgment in his heart, and then said: "Second, call it 'monkey product'." Among the monkeys, there are hierarchical subordinates. Monkey kings, female monkeys, male monkeys, as well as the strong, the weak, the old, the young, different levels of monkeys, the status is different. The higher the rank of the monkey, the better the raw materials for sake brewing that can be obtained, and the lower the status of the monkey, even having enough to eat is a problem. At the same time, the older the monkey, the better the sake brewing!

Therefore, the value of Baiguo Brew also depends on the age of the monkey who makes the wine and its status in the monkey group.

Third, call it 'region'. As the so-called orange is born in Huainan, it is orange, and it is orange born in Huaibei. Monkeys in different regions brew different wines, such as Emei macaques, Huashan monkeys, Huangshan monkeys, big yellow monkeys and so on. ”

"I've seen it!" Su Ming said convincingly.

"I also heard from my friends."

Zhao Yun waved his hand and smiled, and said: "This is all the division method in ancient books, but monkey wine is extremely rare even in ancient times, and now in this year, there are few monkeys, where does the monkey wine come from?" Maybe in the real deep mountains and old forests, by chance, you may still be able to find it. Therefore, whether it is liquid, brewing, wine, or monkey quality, as long as it is made by monkeys, it is extremely precious.

The real monkey wine is not exchanged, even if it is a high imitation, it is worth a lot. During the period of the Republic of China, there was a family, put all kinds of fruits in the vat, rotten and mildew, and so it fermented, plus a little wine mother, and then asphalt filtration, steaming and buried, artificially brewed 'monkey wine', after drinking, the heart does not beat, the brain is not hot, safe into a dream, comfortable has been extreme, wake up comfortable, the mind is clear, it is very good for the body, a bottle can be sold hundreds of oceans, in short supply, but because of the expensive cost and trouble can not do more, it is rare to do it once. As for now, the monkey wine on the market, in the words of you young people, can only be 'hehe'. ”

"And how much do you think this wine is worth?" Su Ming asked.

"I can't say this either. Wine and antiques have similarities, and their own level is one thing, so they need to be identified by professionals; In addition, in different places, the price is not the same, for example, an antique, I go to the countryside to collect, maybe only a few hundred, go to the capital glaze factory, maybe it will cost tens of thousands, if it is put in the auction house, meet a favorite connoisseur, maybe it can be sold for hundreds of thousands; Monkey wine is a thing that can be found and unsought, and if you are lucky, you can sell it at a sky-high price. ”

Listening to Zhao Yun's systematic explanation, Su Ming immediately had a new understanding of the value of monkey wine.

He thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zhao, I still have some of this monkey wine." I gave you this bottle of wine, there is absolutely no reason in the world to take a gift into the house and take it away, it's too rude! Besides, if you hadn't told me this knowledge today, I wouldn't have known the preciousness of monkey wine, and this bottle of wine should be my thanks, and you must do it! ”

Seeing the sincerity of what Su Ming said, Zhao Yun hesitated slightly, then stopped refusing and laughed: "Since this is the case, I'm not welcome." To be honest, although I am not a drinker, but after all, I am a collector, and when I see this monkey wine, my eyes are really hot. ”

After he finished speaking, he cautiously locked the remaining half bottle of monkey wine in the safe with the luminous cup, and then turned to Su Ming and said, "You just said, there is still monkey wine there?" If you can trust me, I have a relationship with an auction house in Xiangjiang, so you can send it to auction for a try. ”

"Then I'm sorry for you." Su Ming nodded, Zhao Yun's words were exactly what he needed.

As Zhao Yun said, the same thing, in the hands of different people, on different occasions, the price is absolutely different, and he is a penniless young man, even if he holds a heavy treasure, he can't sell it at a high price, and maybe he will be coveted.

"Let's go, let's eat, your Aunt Zhao should be in a hurry!"

Zhao Yun pulled Su Ming and walked outside, and when he passed the safe, he patted his head with some annoyance, revealing a wry smile: "I knew that this was really monkey wine, I wouldn't have drunk so much in one gulp what I said just now, a loser!" ”

"Uh......" Su Ming was speechless, according to this, I drink this thing every day, wouldn't I become the No. 1 loser in Tianzi?
