After lunch, Li Zexuan remembered that Han Yuxi wanted to let himself taste the newly brewed fruit wine in the morning, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian and Yan Shaoning.

Thinking of this, Li Zexuan went to Mingyue Xuan to find Han Yuxi.

"Young Master, are you here?" Han Yuxi said happily.

"Well, isn't this the morning when I was about to taste the new fruit wine and was interrupted? In the afternoon, I came here to try it. Li Zexuan nodded.

"Then young master, sit here, and Yu Xi will pour you wine."

Li Zexuan smiled and nodded, and Han Yuxi walked into the back room to get wine.

After a while, I saw Han Yuxi coming out with a wine gourd and a wine glass.

"Young master, you can taste it." Han Yuxi poured a glass of wine and handed it over.

Li Zexuan took the wine glass and sniffed it gently, and a mellow fragrance of wild fruits penetrated into his nostrils, making him feel as if he was in the middle of a field and a forest. Li Zexuan took a sip, it was sweet and mellow, although he drank it once in Hanjiazhuang last time, he still had an amazing feeling when he drank it again.

"Yuxi, who did you learn this winemaking craft from? I don't think many of the brewers in the city are as good as yours. ”

Li Zexuan drank fruit wine and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Hearing Li Zexuan's praise, Han Yuxi smiled and said: "The young master has won the award, how can Yuxi's craftsmanship be compared with the brewing master in the city." My mother taught me this winemaking technique. My father has always loved to drink my mother's wine, and when my mother died, I gave my father wine. ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Xi's mother was still a brewing master, Li Zexuan continued to ask: "Then Yu Xi can make fruit wine, will you make other wines?" ”

Han Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes, my mother also taught me liquor and sake, which include Yingzhou Fushui, Wucheng Ruoxia, Hezhong Sangluo, Yuanzhou Yichun, Xingyang Tuguo Spring, Fuping Shijing Spring, Jiannan Burning Spring, Hedong Qianhe Grape, Lingnan Yunxi Boluo, Yicheng Jiuyu, Xunyang Huangshui, Qidilu Wine and so on. ”

Han Yu folded his fingers and brought the wine he could brew one by one.

Li Zexuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, is this okay?

"Uh, Yuxi, how can your mother make so many kinds of wine?"

Han Yuxi thought for a while and said: "I heard my mother say that my maternal grandfather Du Daoling was the most famous brewing master in the former Sui Dynasty during his lifetime, and even Wei Xuancheng and Wei Shangshu of my dynasty praised his old man's winemaking skills, and my mother's winemaking skills were all learned from my grandfather." ”

Li Zexuan said curiously: "Who is Wei Xuancheng?" Is he very knowledgeable about winemaking? ”

Han Yuxi's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Young Master, you don't even know Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wei Zheng, right?" ”

Yes? Wei Xuancheng turned out to be Wei Zheng, Li Zexuan had heard that Wei Zheng was not only a direct minister, but also a brewing master in his previous life, but he didn't expect that Han Yuxi's grandfather's winemaking skills were still above Wei Zheng, which was really surprising.

"Ahem, Wei Xuancheng Wei Shangshu doesn't know, I'm just testing you."

Li Zexuan casually said nonsense, and didn't care whether Han Yuxi believed it or not, and continued to ask: "Then why didn't you make liquor and sell it before?" ”

Han Yuxi said gloomily: "The remaining grain in Hanjiazhuang over the years is not enough to eat, how can there be extra grain to make wine." ”

Li Zexuan patted his head, so that's the case.

"Yuxi, do you know why I want to buy Hanjiazhuang's mountain fruit wine at a high price?"

Han Yuxi said gratefully: "Yuxi knows that the young master is here to help the farmers of Hanjiazhuang, and those fruit wines are actually not worth so much money." ”

Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Although I have the intention of helping Hanjiazhuang, it's not all because of this, when I was in Longhu Mountain before, I saw that my master often drank a brightly colored wine.

My master said that it was a kind of mixed wine invented by the people over there, and after drinking it a few times, my master felt that the taste was very special, so he figured out the recipe and brewed it himself.

There is a very important ingredient in this recipe, which is mountain fruit wine. The quality of the mountain fruit wine you make can be regarded as the top existence in the fruit wine, and it is the most ideal raw material for this blended wine.

That's why I bought your mountain fruit wine at a high price, thinking that after the purchase, I would find a master brewer to blend that blend, and it would definitely sell well in the future. ”

When it comes to what he is best at, Han Yuxi is also full of interest and curious: "Young master, what is the name of this wine?" Is it really that good? ”

"I heard my master say that it's called a cocktail, and it's usually made improvised when drinking. As for whether it's good or not, I don't know how to taste it, and I don't know. But my master has tasted all the best wines in the world, and in the end, he has a soft spot for this cocktail, and I think it tastes good. Li Zexuan continued to use Master as a shield.

That's right, what Li Zexuan wants to mix is a cocktail. Li Zexuan and his uncle had watched a movie about the plane crashing in his previous life, but he forgot the specific name, in which a black captain wanted to drink cocktails on the plane, but he didn't, so he directly added wine to the juice and drank it as a cocktail.

As a result, one day his uncle suddenly remembered this episode when he was eating at his house, so he mixed the same amount of Huiyuan 100% orange juice into half a glass of whiskey, and his uncle enjoyed drinking it.

Curious, he later looked up how to make cocktails on the Internet, which are generally based on spirits such as rum, tequila, vodka, and whiskey, and then stirred or shaken with fruit juice, egg whites, milk, sugar and other auxiliary ingredients, and finally can be garnished with lemon slices, fruits, or mint leaves.

The spirits can be obtained directly from the existing liquor distilled in the Tang Dynasty, and the juice is directly replaced by the fruit wine brewed by Han Yuxi, and the effect should be better. After mixing, add some ice cubes to it, in the hot summer, Li Zexuan believes that no good drinker can resist this temptation.

As for how to get ice cubes, Li Zexuan said that such a simple question is known to any traverser. But you have to find a way to get Dad to buy a saltpeter mine first, otherwise the price of saltpeter will definitely be expensive after everyone reacts.

When the time comes, think of a group of Datang people, drinking cocktails, this scene, it's quite touching to think about!

Han Yuxi heard Li Zexuan say that the cocktail was so good, and couldn't help but want to try: "Then can the young master let Yuxi try to mix this cocktail?" ”

Li Zexuan was a little embarrassed, not that he was unwilling, but that he was reluctant, if Han Yuxi mixed the wine, she would definitely have to try to taste a lot of wine, he was afraid that Han Yuxi would get drunk.

Han Yu regretted seeing that the young master was embarrassed, thinking that the young master didn't want to teach him this formula, and for a while, a trace of sadness and gloom flashed in his eyes. hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, young master, it's Yuxi who is reckless." ”

Li Zexuan saw that her face was gloomy, and he didn't know that she had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "Yuxi, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want you to try, I'm just worried that when you mix wine, you taste too much wine and you will get drunk." ”

When Han Yuxi heard this, it turned out that he had misunderstood, his face turned from sadness to joy, and he said embarrassedly: "Young master, you don't have to worry about this, Yuxi has a special physique, no matter how much alcohol he drinks since he was a child, he will not get drunk." My dad and I don't know what's going on. ”

Li Zexuan was stunned, is there such a thing? He also saw on the Internet in his previous life that there is a kind of person who is born with a thousand glasses and is not drunk, and it is okay to drink seven or eight catties of liquor, but he didn't expect to meet such a strange person in the Tang Dynasty.

"Eh, Yuxi, what you said is true?" Li Zexuan still couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true, if the young master doesn't believe it, you can ask my father."

"Uh-uh, no, I believe it, I believe it. Then that's no problem, it just so happens that you are also a master brewer, and I will copy the recipe to you when I go back, and as for the ratio of various ingredients, you try it slowly.

After you go back to Hanjiazhuang this time, tell your father, when I am busy with some things in my hands, you will come to Chang'an to help me bartend, and I am trying to hire you as our bartender in Zuixianlou on behalf of my father. ”

Teaching this recipe to Han Yuxi is more reassuring than teaching it to others, Li Zexuan really didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly.

Han Yuxi was very surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect that she would finally be able to help the young master, and hurriedly said: "Young master, you have helped us Hanjiazhuang so much, how can Yu Xi ask for wages, can help the young master mix wine, Yu Xi is already very happy." ”

Li Zexuan insisted: "You deserve this month, you have to ask for it, if you don't want it, I won't help Hanjiazhuang in the future." ”

Han Yuxi could only nod in embarrassment.
