A story within a story
"I think a good show is coming, it won't be to marry that Shen'er girl, the mortal world is to pay attention to what is right, isn't it, I know, a good story, in the end, it will be a bloody ending, it won't be that Shen'er girl who wants to be famous." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
”
Tao Yao smiled, "If only it were so simple." ”
"I'll just say it."
Xiyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Ling, "That Shen'er girl is just an ordinary woman." ”
Tao Yao thought for a moment, "When I first met him, I did think she was an ordinary woman, and that day she wore a lilac dress with small pale pink gardenias embroidered on her body. The hair is casually pulled into a loose bun, and a lilac hairpin is inserted obliquely, which looks a little casual but elegant. Slightly apply powder, and the red lips are not red. It is indeed a beautiful beauty, but this beauty's family is down, originally her family was also born in winemaking, originally the two of them had feelings, Lang love concubines, but Shen'er's family has no one to rely on, she will also make wine, just because she is a daughter, so she can't come forward to revitalize the family, Shen'er's family is doing wine-making work in his house, Shen'er's craftsmanship is very good, and the wine that girls like to drink is brewed by her hands. ”
"Also, it's a winemaking family, so this thing should be handy, but winemaking should be good, otherwise it won't come out."
Li Yin said.
"I heard that there is a winemaker who is a woman, but that woman is good at using flowers to make wine, and when the wine comes out, it is extremely beautiful, and it is deeply liked by the royal family, I don't know if it is the woman you said, that woman is called Liang Shen'er."
Li Yin thought of the woman who was making wine in the underworld, and shook his head, it was indeed a bad fate.
"It turns out that Xingjun has also heard of it, and it seems that she is indeed a very capable woman."
Ye Ling looked at Li Yin curiously, Li Yin jumped down from the roof, took the glass of wine and smelled it, "Sure enough, it is a familiar taste." ”
After saying that, he drank it.
"If you want to really make wine, that Liang Shen'er is really not as good as what you said about him."
Li Yin said sarcastically, "Liang Shen'er likes to control people's hearts, this is the difference between the two people, so although she is good at winemaking, she has never been a real winemaker." ”
Shizuki burped, "Ah!
I am sad for this wilderness.
The grass has been added to the yellow, and the rabbit has frost early.
The dogs were faded, the men raised their rifles, the horses were loaded, the carts carried the grain, and the hunts set up the fence.
He and he, he resigned from the Lord of Han with a sad heart; I'm me, I'm holding the river beam.
He went from the waste; I'm going back to the salty sun.
Return to the sun, cross the palace wall; Crossing the palace wall, around the cloister; Around the cloister, near the pepper room; Near the pepper room, the moon is dusk; The moon is dark, and the night is cool; The night is cold, and the cold stings are cold; Weeping cold sting, green ribbon window; Green windows, don't think about it! He babbled and sang a few words.
"It's this tune."
Shizuki said.
Tao Yao nodded.
"Yes, this tune sung by the Demon King is exactly the one she likes."
Tao Yao's face was calm, if she didn't have those bamboo leaves on her face, it would look much better, but it's a pity that she has such a beautiful skin.
Xiyue said, "I have also drunk a lot of good plum blossom wine, but I may have drunk Liang Shen'er's, it is indeed different, although the queen of the harem is not very good with me, but after all, I am also a princess, how do I know a little, there is an ice cellar in the palace, my father has used the estimate for that Liang Shen'er, every year in the cold season, the palace people will begin to chisel ice storage, because the ice at this time is the hardest, not easy to melt." The officials in charge of the ice storage supervised the slaves and peasants to dig in places with good water quality and hide them in pre-prepared ice cellars.
Ice cellars are built in the shade, deep underground. Cover the ice with fresh straw and reed mats, cover it with rice bran, leaves, and other insulating materials, and seal the mouth of the cellar for the next year.
As a result of this storage, about two-thirds of the stored ice melts every year, so some skilled craftsmen have started to use saltpeter to make ice.
The craftsmen put the water in the jar, took a larger container, put water in the container, and then placed the jar in the container and constantly added saltpeter to the container, as a result of which the water in the jar froze.
Saltpeter is a white, bitter-tasting crystal with a frost-like color. After the saltpeter dissolves into the water, the water in the bucket will form ice cubes, and then we will use it. But the fragrance of flowers in the wine can't be covered, our old emperor is a master who likes to drink, the queen and the concubine naturally try their best to get some wine for him to drink, I remember I saw a woman when I was a child, and followed the queen for a while. ”
Xiyue looked at Tao Yao, "It's not Liang Shen'er you said, then I don't know, anyway, I know that the queen loves her very much." I once saw her smoke wine in the imperial garden, but I didn't particularly like her, she asked the palace people who I was, just a salute and continued to smoke wine, probably knowing that I was the seventh princess, that is, the one who was not favored, so I don't think she ever put me in her eyes. ”
"It's the first time I know that this drink can be smoked, how is it smoked?"
Li Yin looked at Xiyue curiously, "I said that the person Bai Qian was looking for in the underworld turned out to be you, if I had known that it was you, I would have told him." ”
Xiyue suddenly became sad, and Ye Ling glanced at Li Yin. Li Yin was embarrassed.
Xiyue took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I don't know exactly how to do it, I just saw it, she did that, covered the edge of the wine jar with a bamboo frame, tied the flowers with thin threads, tied bunches to the bamboo frame, hung to a place one or two inches away from the wine surface, and then sealed the mouth of the altar." Let it sit for as little as one night, or as long as ten days, and the wine will be deeply soaked with floral aromas. In this way, the floral and wine aromas will blend together
The method is to let the wine be soaked and smoked by the flowers and leaves for only one night or a few days. For example, the Song people also like to let the fragrance of pine flowers into liquor, that is, in the spring in March, the pine flowers are picked in advance, cut into fine pieces, and packed in silk bags. When the liquor is cooked, the liquor is poured into the jar, put it into a silk bag with pine flower powder, and then seal the mouth of the can. Then, the jar is tied with a long cord and hung deep in the well water for three days. The finished product is drained and can be drunk, and it is said that "its taste is fragrant and sweet". It is speculated that to let the fragrance of bamboo leaves and lotus leaves into liquor, it must be the method of soaking bamboo and lotus leaves in wine. I don't really like the taste of those petals, the only thing I like is lotus, but it's not very delicious to make wine, so I haven't drunk it much, but I've only drunk the bamboo leaf green brewed by that childe.
