179 Ren Zhenhai's careful machine
Not only Chilian Lady and his wife, but also Zhang Heng, who was supervising the rectification of the water truck in the carpenter's room, was also attracted by this tempting aroma of wine and strode over.
"Lao Ren, what kind of good wine to drink, quickly give me a taste, I'm hungry for wine worms." Zhang Heng said unceremoniously as he walked.
are all lifelong friendships, so naturally they will not be polite to Ren Zhenhai.
Ren Zhenhai shook his head and pointed in the direction of the winery.
Zhang Heng looked at the wine shop with some doubts, sniffed hard, and soon, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a stunning beauty.
In the winery, Lu Ting looked at the jar of about three catties of distilled liquor, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
This is the result of nearly two hours, the first distillation effect is not very good, I feel that the taste is a little astringent, the aroma is single, and the taste is not soft and mellow enough, although the two winemakers who bought it from the human market said that they had seen the best quality wine in their lives, Lu Ting was still not satisfied, and distilled it again, so he was satisfied.
I have to say that after distillation again, the taste is mellow and soft, the aroma is fuller, and the quality of the wine is more pure.
"Childe, this wine is simply superb, the old slave has made wine all his life, and it is the first time I have seen such a strong and pure wine." The old winemaker Lao Du stretched out a thumbs up with a flushed face.
Lao Du's original name is Du Seventeen, he is forty-three years old this year, he is a wine slave that Lu Ting bought back from the human market, don't look at his age, but he was arranged by the former master to be a junior apprentice in the winery from the age of eight, until the former master was convicted and exiled, he stayed in the winery for thirty-five years, he is an old winemaker, Lu Ting let him be responsible for the most critical distillation link.
"Okay, get the rest of the wine ready, don't patronize the wine tasting, I want it early tomorrow morning." Lu Ting said angrily.
Lao Du, who saw distilled liquor for the first time, secretly drank wine in the name of wine tasting every once in a while, not to mention that most of the liquor was in his stomach, and his face was as red as a monkey.
"Childe, don't worry, there is an old slave here, and you can't make a mistake." Lao Du said with some flattery.
The first time I drank such a strong and mellow wine, the owner was obviously by his side, but Lao Du just couldn't control his mouth, that is, Lu Ting was generous, and if he was the owner of some small families, he would have already made people applaud the stick.
Lu Ting nodded, seeing from the window that it was almost dark, carrying the jar of double-steamed wine that had just been made, and walking briskly to the heavily guarded wine shop.
As soon as I got out of the wine shop, I was startled, only to see Zhang Heng, She Siniang, Ren Zhenhai, Duan Xiaoliu and others waiting at the door, and when they appeared, their eyes all fell on the jar in their hands.
"Master Lu, this wine smells... Is it new wine? Duan Xiaoliu asked curiously while sniffing hard.
Zhang Heng stared at the wine jar in Lu Ting's hand, and said expectantly: "Brother Lu, you have it in your hand, but it's new wine?" ”
"This wine is so fragrant and mellow, it's the first time the slave family has smelled such a good wine." Chi Lian Niangzi's eyes obviously showed curiosity.
Ren Zhenhai, the murder weapon in the world, stood beside his wife, his head raised slightly, as if admiring the red glow in the sky, but the corner of his eyes kept staring at the wine jar in Lu Ting's hand.
Lu Ting raised the wine jar in his hand, nodded and said, "You are all here, just right, come and taste the newly brewed wine." ”
It was really a new wine, and everyone's eyes lit up.
Not to mention anything else, the aroma of the wine alone is worth tasting.
At this time, Mei Niang came to ask for instructions, and when the meal was ready, Lu Ting immediately asked her to prepare the meal, which was placed on the stone table outside.
Soon, Lu Ting, Zhang Heng, Duan Xiaoliu, Chilian Niangzi and Ren Zhenhai sat at a table, and the people of the water transport team and the craftsmen were all eating in the room, and as for the people in the wine shop, there were also special people to send food inside.
"Brother Lu, hurry up, pour wine." Zhang Heng said anxiously.
The wine jar was not sealed, and from time to time there were bursts of tempting aroma of wine, and Zhang Heng was already a little impatient.
Chilian Niangzi She Siniang opened her mouth and agreed: "Yes, the slave family is also waiting anxiously." ”
"Come, taste it all, how about this new wine." Lu Ting also wanted to eat some food to cushion his stomach before taking it out, but seeing that everyone was so anxious, he didn't want to whet everyone's appetite, so he quickly took it out.
Lu Ting poured about three taels of each of the five delicate small porcelain bowls: "Everyone, this is the newly brewed wine of Liangshi Distillery, try it." ”
"It's... Is it wine? Zhang Heng looked at the wine in the bowl, his eyes were as big as bull's eyes.
The wine in the bowl was white and transparent, as pure as water that had just flowed out, without a trace of impurities, if it didn't smell a mellow aroma, Zhang Hengdu suspected that Lu Ting would have deceived himself with a bowl of water.
Chilian Niang picked up the wine bowl and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "This wine is too pure, and there is no impurity." ”
There are many types of Tang Dynasty wines, and the quality is uneven, no matter what kind of wine, there are two common characteristics, impurities and color.
The green ants in Bai Juyi's "Green Ant New Brew Wine" are not the name of the wine, but the wine is newly brewed, unfiltered, the wine surface is covered with lees foam, the color is slightly green, like ants, like some good wine, even if it is filtered with a muslin many times, sharp-eyed people can see that there are fine impurities.
Chilian Niangzi is well-known for her sharp eyes, but when she looks closer, she can't find a trace of impurities.
Most of the wine is made from grain, and the color of the wine made from different grains is also different, some are pale yellow, some are lavender, and some are pale cyan, but the wine made by Lu Ting is white and transparent, which makes She Siniang surprised.
With a gentle shake, the wine in the bowl gently ripples, and the aroma of the wine is more intense and attractive.
Duan Xiaoliu took a deep breath and said with a satisfied expression: "Just smelling it, I feel that it is enjoyment." ”
Ren Zhenhai, who is known as the murder weapon in the world, did not speak, staring at this kind of wine that he had never seen before, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Let's not talk about the taste, the color and quality are commendable.
I didn't expect that wine could be made like this.
"What are you doing, you can still see the flowers, drink." As Zhang Heng spoke, he took the wine and poured it into his mouth.
Lu Ting hurriedly said, "Boss Zhang, be careful...."
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Heng's face suddenly change, a pair of eyes as big as bull's eyes, as if he had suffered something unbelievable, and when he saw that Zhang Heng was about to spit out the wine he had just drunk, he saw him close his mouth suddenly, and covered his mouth with his hands, and his cheeks on both sides bulged, and he swallowed all the wine in his mouth.
"Ah" After Zhang Heng swallowed the wine in his mouth, he let out a voice of great satisfaction, and exclaimed: "Good wine, good wine, good wine, this is called wine, it's too enjoyable." ”
When it first entered the mouth, it was different from the wine I had drunk before, like a fire, but there was a thick feeling in the domineering, which brought Zhang Heng unprecedented excitement and stimulation, when the wine was swallowed from the throat, it seemed like an ambiguous current reached the stomach, and then the whole body had an ambiguous feeling.
The taste is mellow, the entrance is luscious, and the throat is clean, Zhang Heng called out three good wines in a row.
Lu Ting hurriedly said: "Siniang, Xiaoliu, Brother Ren, this wine is a bit domineering, it is not advisable to drink too quickly, otherwise it will choke, and it is better to take a small sip and taste it slowly." ”
When She Siniang and the others heard this, they slowly tasted it according to the words, and soon, just after the first sip, the eyes of the three of them lit up.
"Tut-tut, this... This wine is even better than the royal wine that the prince gave last time, and it tastes really strong. Duan Xiaoliu drank an average amount of wine, and after drinking these three or two pairs of steamed wine, his eyes were a little blurred, and he spoke with a big tongue.
Yu Siniang's pretty face was flushed, and she nodded lightly and said: "This is the strongest wine that the slave family has ever drunk, it is mellow and refreshing, Master Lu, you are simply a god." ”
Lu Ting turned his gaze to Ren Zhenhai, who had not yet found an opinion: "Brother Ren, what do you think of this wine?" ”
Ren Zhenhai carries a wine gourd on weekdays, and he takes a few sips when he has time, he is experienced and the most qualified to speak.
"So-so." Ren Zhenhai still said with regret.
Zhang Heng didn't look at Ren Zhenhai, and pushed the bowl in front of Lu Ting: "Brother Lu, don't care about him, he doesn't drink, I drink." ”
"It's delicious, Master Lu, and I'll appreciate it again." Duan Xiaoliu handed over the bowl with a grinning face.
She Siniang didn't speak, but directly expressed her actions and pushed the empty bowl over.
Lu Ting replied casually: "Time is a little tight, there is not much wine here, so each person will have a small half bowl." ”
I didn't have time to make about three catties of double distilled wine, that is, let everyone taste it and give some opinions, but I didn't expect it to be so popular.
Double distilled wine, Lu Ting has tasted it, it is estimated that it is about fifty degrees, counting the height, ordinary people have drunk two taels almost, I didn't expect these people to be able to drink like this, more than three taels of wine, all of them were drunk, including Yu Siniang, after drinking, only the cheeks were a little red, and I didn't see anything abnormal.
"It's hard to make such a good wine, let alone a small half bowl, just take one more sip and enjoy it." Zhang Heng said with a satisfied face.
Just as Lu Ting wanted to pick up the wine jar on the countertop, Ren Zhenhai suddenly stood up and shouted in the direction of the west: "Be careful, something is wrong with the west." ”
Hostile?
Lu Ting was startled, quickly stood up, looked in the direction of the west, and thousands of thoughts suddenly flashed in his heart: Could it be that the matter in the morning is not over yet, and the Prince's Mansion has let himself go on the surface, and it is only now liquidated?
Zhang Heng and Duan Xiaoliu reacted more violently, one picked up the big stick and the other pulled out the horizontal knife to guard against it, and the Chilian Lady suddenly blocked in front of Lu Ting, for fear that someone would be unfavorable to Lu Ting.
When the veterans of Wuyitang heard the movement, they also took out their weapons one after another to be on guard.
For a while, the atmosphere in the whole camp was tense, and everyone seemed to be facing a great enemy.
Finally, I have a little hope, who dares to destroy, it is not to cut off his own financial route and hope, dare to fight the idea here, first ask if he agrees with the weapon in his hand.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and there was no movement around.
Zhang Heng wanted to ask Ren Zhenhai what was wrong, but when he turned his head, he found that Ren Zhenhai's position was empty, and thought that he was the first to strike, and when his eyes swept over the stone table, he couldn't help but roar loudly: "Ren Zhenhai, you are a field slave, what are you doing?" ”
It turned out that the place where the wine jar was placed was empty, which clearly allowed him to take the opportunity to leave.
Who lied about the enemy in order to drink two more sips of wine!
