Chapter 25: Monkey Wine

Just as I was crying, the kitchen man approached me and handed me a small jar. I took it and opened it and smelled it: "Come to Xi, haha Come to Xi, you are really my lucky star, how can you still have such a small jar of Roselle." "It's not much, but it's enough to attend a wine tasting.

Lai Xi touched his head embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, Miss, I've never smelled such fragrant wine, you told me last time, when the wine tasting meeting is over, you will reward us with some wine, I am selfish, I am afraid that you will forget to give it to me, so while everyone sealed the wine, secretly opened a small jar and stored it." ”

I happily patted him on the shoulder: "Don't blame, I don't blame you." Now, if we re-brew sake, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the wine tasting conference. With this jar of wine, there is no need to worry. Okay, you guys make wine again, and I'm going to take this one to the competition today. When the new wine is ready, I will reward you with three large vats. ”

So everyone cheered again. Once again, they can't wait to find Roselle.

In the palace, the third Belle was sipping a jar of wine with a smile on his face. "Oops, it's a shame that such a good wine has been smashed." But his expression was clearly that he felt that it was not enough to relieve his hatred.

"Think you can hide it from me? Hehe meat buns, you look down on me too much. Three Belle turned back to the man in black.

"Are you sure she doesn't have a drop of wine left?" "The subordinates assured her that all her wine was gone." "Haha, okay, I'll see what she will take to the wine tasting today, hahaha......" Sanbeile's laughter made the people behind him shudder.

The wine tasting meeting was really lively, and there were five wine taspers, all of whom were brewmasters with great backgrounds. They no longer need to make wine anymore, and now only the royal family can let them come and taste it.

A master rinsed his mouth with a few sips of water, then took a sip of the wine that had been served, and then spit it out. "This kind of non-grade flower carving dares to send it up!" With a flick of his pen, he crossed out the name of the person offering the wine from the notebook.

The wine tasting meeting lasted for a whole day, and when it was dusk, there were only two people left in the book, one was me, and the other was Ouyang Deyuan.

To my surprise, the wine I brought to participate this time was not the wine I had at his house last time.

He's really cunning, but how about the wine this time, I'd really like to go up and take a sip.

The five masters discussed for a long time, but they couldn't decide which one to choose as the best wine.

Eventually, they decided to hear from the two of us about the origin of the wine.

I picked up a glass of bright red roselle in a glass jar and said to the masters, "This is my own Roselle, made with fresh roselle." I have consulted many doctors, and they have said that roselle is not common, but it is effective. For women, it can beautify and nourish the skin, and for men, it can strengthen the body and relieve fatigue. At the same time, it is also a good thing to calm the mind. It's a pity that such a good product can't be dedicated to the emperor. ”

The masters listened to my words and nodded yes. I looked at Ouyang Deyuan triumphantly, and he winked at me confidently. It's like saying: don't be too happy, don't cry if you lose later.

I gave him a blank look, and he didn't get angry, but smiled and said to the masters, "My wine is called Baiguo wine, also known as monkey wine." ”

I've never heard the name monkey wine before, so I can't help but prick up my ears and listen carefully.

"In autumn, there are many wild fruits on the mountain, and the apes all over the mountain will pick fresh fruits, and they will hide the fruits they have picked in a hidden cave to be used as food for the winter. If there is plenty of food that winter, they will forget that they once hid the fruit of a cave, and then the hundreds of fruits will ferment to form a hundred fruit wine, or monkey wine. As soon as he finished speaking, the masters were amazed, no wonder this wine was so special, it turned out to have such a special origin.

I shouted unconvinced: "Then this kind of wine is something that can be met but not sought, how can you guarantee that your wine is enough for the emperor to feast on the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!" ”

What I'm saying makes a lot of sense, monkey wine is really rare, so it must be rare. How can so many people drink it?

Ouyang Deyuan looked at me approvingly, as if he praised me for picking his faults, and picking them was very timely and accurate.

"Of course, the real monkey wine is not enough, and today the masters drink the hundred fruit wine I made from a hundred kinds of fruits, not only will not be inferior to the hundred fruit wine made by apes, but this wine tastes fragrant and mellow, and the sweetness is incomparable. After drinking, the mind and body are refreshing, and when drunk, I am only dizzy and sleepy, as if I am sleepy in spring, my heart is not beating, my brain is not hot, and I am sleeping peacefully, which is extremely comfortable. Wake up feeling refreshed and refreshed. ”

The masters didn't give me time to speak, and crossed my name with a stroke of the pen in the notebook. I stood stunned, I knew that I was convinced to lose this time, and my roselle wine was not as good as his Baiguo wine.

When Ouyang Deyuan passed by me, he bowed his head and said, "Lady, tomorrow at noon, my sedan chair will definitely come to the door, you have to be ready." ”

I cursed in my heart, oops, I only remember that I won 10,000 taels of gold, and I almost forgot about marrying Ouyang Deyuan if I lost. This...... How good is that?

When I returned to Baofu, the old housekeeper persuaded me: "Miss, it doesn't matter if you don't have that 10,000 taels of gold, our Roselle wine is so good, and it is guaranteed to sell well when it is pushed to the tavern, and we will make a lot of money at that time." ”

I shook my head: "I'm not worried about this, you go down and rest, you're tired enough these days." ”

I hid in my room, patted my head, and said to myself: "You money addict, you still think about gold, now think about yourself, tomorrow the sedan chair will come to the door!" ”

No, I can't sit still, I want to come and go, huh? Why don't I learn from that jade and be a runaway bride, okay, this is a good idea!

With that in mind, I began to pack my things, and I had to leave while it was dark. When I successfully escaped, I wrote to the eldest young master and asked him to help me take care of the people in the Bao Mansion. When Ouyang Deyuan marries a wife one day, I will come back.

I laughed while thinking, oops, fat people are witty! What a strong backing for so much meat.

I held my baggage and sneaked out of the Baofu in the moonlight, my steps were unusually brisk, haha I'm free, goodbye, Ouyang Deyuan, you can't catch me in your life.

I hadn't walked a hundred meters before I saw the housekeeper of Ouyang Mansion standing there looking at me. The housekeeper thought with a wry smile, Childe really knows this master, he said that she would definitely sneak away tonight, and he really expected it.
