Chapter 214: That Taste
Lai Wang carried a jar of wine into the private room where Old Man Luo and his party were.
"Come to Wang, come quickly, just wait for your wine." Old Man Luo seemed to be looking forward to the stars and the moon, and when he saw Laiwang bringing the wine, he grabbed it.
The wine bottle Zhang Wenfang ordered online is a very simple style, which is very consistent with the style of Fuwang Home. So, it seems, this bottle looks a little rustic. But it's quite attractive.
Zhang Wenfang's original intention was to make this wine look extremely ordinary, so that customers could have a huge difference after tasting it. On the contrary, it brings out the extraordinary taste of this wine even more.
Lao Chen and the others didn't expect that the wine that Old Man Luo was looking forward to so much would be so mediocre.
"Isn't it? Lao Luo, this is the good wine you are going to use to win my mother tree tea before the rain? I see that you have lived in the country for a long time, and your taste is getting worse and worse. Even rice wine becomes good wine in your mouth. Lao Chen said with a smile.
Although everyone is not judged by their appearance, the appearance of this Fuwang home is indeed too ordinary. This one thought that this time, Lao Luo was afraid that he was going to lose the long-cherished monkey ticket.
"Lao Luo is going to lose. No matter how good the rice wine in the countryside tastes, how much better can it be than those aged wines? You know, all of you here have even tasted the unearthed ancient sake. ”
"I think so. This time, Lao Luo was too willful. ”
"Just looking at this packaging, it is completely certain that this is definitely a homemade wine from Fuwang Farm. Maybe it's still a new sake. ”
The old men turned their heads to each other, but after Old Man Luo saw it, he looked like a nobody.
"It's not good or not, it's not said with the mouth. Rather, you taste it with your mouth. Laiwang, you fill the wine up. If I hadn't made a bet with them. I really can't bear to give them such good wine. At their level, they drank it in vain. Old Man Luo said.
Laiwang unsealed the wine jar. The aroma of the wine is immediately emanated.
"Huh? This wine is so fragrant! It's not a combination of spices. It's the original aroma of the wine. It's really impossible for people to look good, and this wine can't look like it! Don't know what it tastes like? Smelling the fragrance, several old friends of Old Man Luo were immediately moved.
Old Man Luo had a smug smile on his face.
"Laiwang, don't pour it too much, just pour him a little bit and let him taste it. It would be a waste to give him such a good wine. He had a bad cardiovascular condition and couldn't drink too much. Lai Wang poured wine for Lao Chen first, and Old Man Luo hurriedly said.
Lao Chen couldn't hold back now, "Who has bad cardiovascular disease?" Figured it out. Someone was in the hospital for months last year, and a couple of us old guys thought we were going to burn paper for someone. ”
"Last year was last year, and Lao Tzu is now in good health. Let me tell you, during this period of time, I have been staying in Zhaojiatun, breathing fresh air, eating green vegetables, and drinking delicious wine every day. This old problem is gone. But Lao Chen, you have always had cardiovascular problems. Don't drink too much of this wine today. Just take a bite and you're done with the game. Don't spoil the good wine. Old Man Luo smiled.
Laiwang poured half a cup and glanced up at Lao Chen.
"Don't believe Lao Luo, full, full. I'm fine! Lao Chen said.
Lai Wangyi poured wine for Lao Chen, and then filled the wine for several old people in turn. Old Man Luo quickly took a sip of wine, and then pointed to the cup and played with Laipi. "Laiwang, you see you fill them all. Why don't you just pour me a glass? ”
"Lao Luo, you just can't get rid of this bad problem. In front of young people, are you embarrassed to play Laipi? Lao Meng, who was sitting next to Old Man Luo, said.
Lai Wang smiled, "Old man Luo, this wine has a lot of stamina." I think it's just right for you to drink one cup, but if you drink half a cup more, it's easy to make a fool of yourself. ”
"Why are you so stingy? I can't give up a glass of wine. Old Man Luo said.
"Okay, you want it yourself. Wait for you to make a fool of yourself, but you can't blame me. Lai Wang smiled and poured the wine glass to Old Man Luo.
Lao Chen is also an expert in drinking, so he didn't rush to drink at first, but put his nose close to the mouth of the cup, sniffed it carefully, and immediately looked like he was enjoying it.
"Lao Chen, how is it? Just admit defeat and forget it. Old Man Luo smiled.
"Hehe, Lao Luo, are you so confident?" Lao Chen asked.
"Lao Chen, you are also a connoisseur of drinking. You can't smell good wine yet? Old Man Luo said.
"What are you anxious about? I can afford to lose those few taels of tea. What kind of wine is this? Lao Chen said.
"You don't care what kind of wine it is, you just have to admit that you haven't drunk such a good wine." Old Man Luo said.
The other old men also smelled the fragrance of the wine first, and they all nodded in praise, which showed that the fragrance of the wine had moved them.
"Whether the wine is good or not, the aroma is only one aspect of it. It is not necessarily that a good aroma is necessarily good. Aroma is produced by the aromatic substances in the wine, and in general, the composition of aromatic substances can be complex and diverse. Lao Chen said.
Lao Chen picked up the wine glass, but Lao Luo put the wine glass down and stared at Lao Chen seriously, he wanted to see how Lao Chen reacted after drinking!
The rest of the old men had their eyes staring at the two living treasures, Lao Chen and Old Man Luo, and some of them also raised their wine glasses, eager to taste the taste of this wine.
Lao Chen took a small sip, and the change in his expression was very complicated, but it could be expressed in two words-surprise!
As soon as Lao Luo looked at Lao Chen's expression, he thought of the mood he had when he tasted monkey wine for the first time. In addition to surprises, there are surprises.
"Lao Chen, when will you cash it out?" Lai Luo smiled.
"Lao Luo, you guy really has no taste at all. Why are you talking about such a bad thing at this time? When did my Lao Chen be as tasteless as your Lao Luo? You can rest assured. When do you want those taels of tea, when do you take them? But at this point, you're going to have to get me to drink well. Lao Chen raised his head and came to Wang. Laiwang didn't know when he left with the wine jar.
"What about the lads?" Lao Chen asked.
"The restaurant is open, and it's very busy." Lao Luo said.
"Why did he take all the jars?" Lao Chen asked.
"Do you want someone to give you a whole jar of wine? I also asked him for this wine because of my old face. If you can have a drink, you can be satisfied. And. You really are the amount of this glass of wine. Don't look at this wine is very comfortable in the throat, you drink half a glass more. Make sure you carry it out today. But there's one good thing. Even if you drink this wine, it doesn't hurt your body too much. Old Man Luo said.
"Nonsense. There is not enough wine for me to drink. Just this glass of wine, I haven't enjoyed it yet! Lao Chen said.
"Be content, you! I've been mixed up like this in Zhaojiatun, and I've only drunk this wine two or three times. This wine is really rare. If it weren't for the sake of looking at the old brothers. I'm too lazy to let the lad take out the treasure! Old Man Luo said.
"I can trade things with him! Help me to ask what this young man will do to make him a jar of wine. By the way, what kind of wine is this? Lao Chen asked.
"That's right. What kind of wine is such a delicious wine? ”
Everyone focused on Old Man Luo.
"Guess what." Old Man Luo was very angry. Didn't these old guys drink by their looks in the first place? I won't tell you.
When Old Man Luo thought of this, the expression on his face was very exciting, and he couldn't help but laugh, trying his best to be cool.
"It's like fruit wine. And it should have been some years. But you can still smell the fragrance of the fruit inside. But it's hard to tell which fruits are made. Lao Chen said.
"Hey, hey. It's a little bit of a touch. I can also give you a hint that this wine is only available in the mountains. Old Man Luo said.
"There is one in the mountains, is it a hundred flowers and nectar wine?" Lao Meng said.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong. No. Old Man Luo said.
Everyone guessed and guessed, but they couldn't guess.
Old Man Luo smiled, "You can't guess the amount." I'll tell you. This is a real monkey wine. The monkeys in the mountains brewed it, hidden in a stone cave, and this young man ran into it. There are only one or two jars in total. It's almost drunk, and this time, it's good to be able to let a few of our old brothers taste it. Let's be content, too. Lao Chen didn't say anything to change it. You don't say. There may be a chance to drink it in the future. If you use money to pressure others, you don't want to smell it in the future. By the way, the wine made by Fuwang Homestead itself is also good, so everyone will try it later. I'll tell you. Don't underestimate the homemade wine of Fuwang Home, if it is stored in the cellar for a few years, it is estimated that it can be fake with monkey wine. ”
Old Man Luo said and advertised Laiwang.
Everyone knew that the cup was filled with the legendary monkey wine. I don't want to drink it anymore. Take a sip each time, then wash and taste. It took a long time before I drank the wine.
"Don't be too busy drinking. Try this dish. It's also a super surprise! Old Man Luo said.
Lao Chen didn't have the slightest doubt about Lao Luo's words this time. I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish and put it in my mouth. The monkey wine just now was full of surprises for Lao Chen. And this dish for Lao Chen was all an accident.
Originally. Lao Chen had already expected that the food in Fuwang's home should be good, and Old Man Luo was very reliable in his words. However, he didn't expect that the dishes would be so delicious.
From oil to various ingredients, all the ingredients in the kitchen are the best ingredients provided by Fuwang Farm itself, and then the famous chef will perfectly combine these ingredients together, and what kind of delicious food can be obtained in the end.
A plate of simple peasant dishes, stir-fried meat with green peppers. But this dish made Lao Chen taste the taste he hadn't seen for a long time. Let him remember when he was a child, his mother, who had passed away for many years, still had such a sweet face, and the dishes he cooked were so sweet.
Lao Chen ate a bite of fried meat with green peppers, and he was in tears, which surprised everyone.
It took Lao Chen a while before he recovered and explained the reason to everyone.
"When I was a child, my family was in the countryside. It's rare to eat meat a few times a year. Every year on my birthday, my father and mother would always go to the market to catch the market, weigh half a catty of meat back, cut a bowl of green peppers and fry a fried pork with green peppers. That green pepper fried meat is real! I thought it was the best dish in the world. There's nothing better than stir-fried meat with green peppers.
When I came out of school and went to work, my parents didn't want to come to the city with me. Still staying in the mountain village of my hometown. Every time I go home, my mother still gets me a stir-fried pork with green peppers. I never get tired of eating this dish. ”
"My father and mother injured their bodies when they were young, and when they were older, their bodies were not good. When I went back, they couldn't fry the green pepper fried meat. ”
"Later, I also made my own stir-fried pork with green peppers, but I couldn't make that flavor. Today's stir-fried pork with green peppers tastes really good, and it makes me taste the same taste again. ”
Several old men put down their chopsticks and listened to Lao Chen's story quietly. Everyone was also full of emotion.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Today, I ate such a delicious home-cooked fried pork, and I hooked up this memory of mine. It affected everyone's appetite. Lao Chen said apologetically.
"The meat here seems to be a little better than the meat we usually eat." Lao Meng said.
Old Man Luo smiled, "Then do you need to talk about it?" The pork that everyone usually eats is fed with feed. And now the pig farms are fed with high-quality pigs, like the kind of native pigs in the countryside before, which are almost extinct. The pork used in Fuwang's home is a free-range Huangshi flower pig. This local variety, although it grows slowly, has a truly extraordinary taste. (To be continued......)
