Chapter 397: Centennial Chrysanthemum Wine 2
The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, don't dream about it, you kid, it can't be any gold and silver treasures, or it won't be so light, it feels like a jar of water." ”
Zhou Yu smiled and stopped talking, and said in his heart, Taigong really dared to say, who was idle and had nothing to do to put water into such a beautiful jar and sink it to the bottom of the lake with great difficulty?
Wang Yunhai smiled at Zhou Hu at this time and said, "Huzi, did you bring the things you brought?" ”
Zhou Hu hurriedly nodded, opened the plastic bag he was carrying, took out a bottle of vinegar and an oil lamp from it, and then lit the oil lamp with a lighter.
"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Zhou Yu asked puzzled.
"Hehe, Xiaoyu, Huzi came back last night and told me about you, your father-in-law was also in our house at that time, the two of us estimated that the seal of this jar was sealed with glutinous rice and clay, in ancient times, most of the wine was stored for a long time using this method, which is characterized by being strong and durable, and the water does not seep into the oil and does not splash in.
Now it seems that this is the case, so that these two jars are not filled with gold and silver treasures, but probably wine, and at least one or two hundred years old.
In order to open this seal, you must first soak the edges with vinegar and then roast them over fire, so that the seal will shrink inward and it will not take much effort to open. ”
Brother Zhou Yu and his brothers seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, they didn't expect that they could make so much knowledge with one seal, they really lived to learn all the time.
After Wang Yunhai finished speaking, he opened the vinegar bottle and began to pour vinegar along the edges of the two jars, and the princes also gathered around to see this almost lost method.
After a few minutes, I saw that the seal was a little white, and the vinegar that had been poured down had seeped in. At this time, Wang Yunhai asked Zhou Yu to take the oil lamp and start to roast slowly along the mouth of the altar. After roasting three or four times, Wang Yunhai took out a narrow knife for killing pigs from his clothes pocket, gently inserted it along the inner diameter of the altar, and then pried it vigorously. The mud seal with the mouth of the bowl was pried off.
Before everyone could get closer to take a look, a sudden smell of wine mixed with the rich fragrance of chrysanthemums came to their nostrils. This taste is refreshing, making people feel like indulging in the sea of flowers, mountains and chrysanthemums.
"Chrysanthemum wine, hahaha, it's definitely chrysanthemum wine!" The old lady laughed and shouted loudly.
"Old man, this is not only chrysanthemum wine, but also hundreds of years of chrysanthemum wine! We're in for a good deal this time! Wang Yunhai responded excitedly.
This time, all the old men were not calm, and hurriedly sent Zhou Hu to the kitchen to get a bowl, so that they could taste the chrysanthemum wine from hundreds of years ago.
Zhou Hu trotted with Liu Qingshan to bring a large stack of bowls and put them on the coffee table. Zhou Yu happily hugged the big jar and poured twelve bowls of wine.
The twelve rice bowls are very ordinary, neither white as jade nor crystal clear, but when the wine in the bowl is reflected, it looks elegant and noble, and the quality is extraordinary.
The chrysanthemum wine in the bowl is a little thick, with a faint crystal green, this green brings people a kind of vitality, intoxicating, and there is a feeling that the wine is not intoxicating and everyone is drunk.
The old lady stopped the little brothers and Liu Qingshan who wanted to pick up the bowl, and together with the other seven princes and Wang Yunhai, they picked up the wine bowl and touched it, and then drank it all.
Although the wine is in the stomach, it is full of fragrance. The rich and fresh aroma of the wine is unforgettable. The nine old men put the bowl down after tasting it for a while, and at the same time signaled that Zhou Yu and Liu Qingshan could drink.
Zhou Yu's brothers are okay, after all, they have drunk chrysanthemum wine, but Liu Qingshan is the first time. This bowl of wine almost flew away, and he stood there and clicked his mouth.
In fact, Zhou Yu and his brothers were also surprised at this time, because the chrysanthemum wine they drank this time was even more mellow and fragrant than before. It tastes more rich and mellow, especially after drinking, there is still a mellow fragrance of chrysanthemum in the mouth for a long time. It makes people feel comfortable.
"Taigong, do you think the wine this time is much better than before? It stands to reason that they were made at the same time. How can there be such a big difference? Zhou Yu asked puzzled.
"Ha Luha, you don't understand this, the seals of the jars that your dad found last time were not as good as these two jars, and when I found them, they almost all turned into wine paste, and what you drank was the wine that your dad made with wine paste and distilled water, and the alcohol concentration and wine feeling were certainly not as good as this.
Tsk, the concentration of these two jars is almost the same as that of the freshly brewed ones, and this sealing technique is really good. And this wine has been stored under the water for hundreds of years, this taste and charm are simply incredible, this is the real elixir and jade liquid! To be honest, there is still a bit of a gap between your wine and this one. The old lady said with emotion.
Brother Zhou Yu finally understands now that feelings are like this.
At this time, the second princess spoke, and asked Zhou Yu: "Second dog, I heard the third donkey say that there is such an altar under the Moon Lake?" How many can there be? If there are too many, we have to get a jar for each of the eight old guys, and we will not lose anything in our lives after drinking such chrysanthemum wine. ”
"Oh, Second Princess, there are definitely more than a dozen jars I touched when I went down, and if they are all chrysanthemum wine, you can definitely guarantee one jar each. You drink these wines first, and in two days, Huzi and I will go over again to try to catch up all the jars at the bottom of the lake, and then I will send you the wine. ”
The old men nodded, the second dog is the second dog, and the more this child looks at it, the more rare it becomes. So with a smile on their faces, each of them poured a bowl of chrysanthemum wine and tasted it slowly.
Next, Zhou Hu went to the town to buy pork ribs, and the princes wanted to eat pure old root yams, but if so many people on the mountain all ate like this, two bundles might not be enough, so Chef Liu wanted to make a braised pork ribs yam, which could satisfy the cravings and taste the deliciousness of the yams, and it was estimated that the two gangs of people who worked would like it.
And Zhou Yu came outside to call Zhao Ming, an engineer in the county, and according to the two of them, Zhao Gong should take someone to the mountain to install a solar power plant yesterday. But later, when Lao Zhao heard that the mountain was being built, he suggested to Zhou Yu that since the mountain was so messy, it was better to pull it directly to the mountain after the assembly was completed at home, and only need to find a suitable position to fix the power plant after arriving on the mountain, and then install two sets of solar panels, and this little work could be completed in less than a morning, Zhou Yu nodded and agreed.
After the phone was connected, Zhao Ming promised that he would take his employees to pull the power plant to Phoenix Mountain tomorrow morning, and the installation and wiring work would be completed before noon tomorrow, and there would be electricity on the mountain the day after tomorrow.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu told the good news to Wang Zhihe, who was picking up a log, and Wang Da Craftsman was very happy when he heard it, and Zhou Yu proposed to ask some people to come over to help from tomorrow, and promised Zhou Yu that if there were enough manpower, the ten wooden villas would be completed in less than half a month, and it would be absolutely no problem to live in them before August 15. But there is one biggest premise, that is, Liu Jian's group has to stay for him, because the master craftsman found that with the help of machinery, the progress is not ordinarily fast, which is really good.
Zhou Yu patted his chest and promised that even if he tied up, he would have to leave Liu Jian behind. Anyway, his kitchen, dining room, biogas digester and underground pipes haven't been finished yet, how can he be let go at this time? It's hard to catch a worker, if he leaves, won't he be exhausted?
Zhou Yu's careful thinking was that if Liu Jianzhi was appointed to pounce on him and bite him a few times, this young owner would be too unscrupulous.
At noon, dozens of people ate a feast of old roots and yams, which was called a fragrant and a sweet! Especially for the nine old men, in addition to a few simple appetizers, this table is two large pots of steamed old root yams. After peeling the white yam, the milky white inside with a fragrance was revealed, and when you eat it, it is soft, and the fragrance is refreshingly sweet. And the purple one is even more amazing, the deep purple inside is mellow and elegant, it tastes more sweet and delicious, and it is full of glutinousness, and it is a supreme product.
The old men ate the sweet old root yam, drank the authentic century-old chrysanthemum wine, and then looked at the unfinished site not far away. Eat well, drink well, the life of the younger generations is getting better and better, and the heart that has been unwilling for decades can finally be let go, and you can live the rest of your life well.
