After the incident of interplanting wheat and rice came to an end, Cao Yi returned to his previous life, abiding by the time and rest set by himself every day, and today is practicing calligraphy in his study as usual.

……

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon......

Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you.

Cao Yi put down the pen in his hand and carefully studied the "Will Enter the Wine" he had just written. The whole pen and ink will be the wild grass pen walking dragon snake interpretation vividly, one stroke down, like a loose horse flying into the air and gone; It is also like a dragon flying in the sky, watching its strength without losing, showing its posture without boasting, and the handwriting flowing through the clouds.

Red sleeves stood aside, looking sideways at the book written by Cao Yigang on the table, although his son-in-law has often done some surprising strange actions since he became seriously ill, it is undeniable that his son-in-law is very talented after all. A feeling of pride filled the whole body, and the eyebrows were full of adoration.

"Childe's handwriting is very beautiful." The red sleeves are a proud look of a girl who is innocent and showing off her good things, although her physical age is two years older than Cao Yi, but counting her past life and this life, Cao Yi is already eight out of forty, and she knows the destiny of heaven without confusion.

So Cao Yi naturally laughed at the praise of the red sleeves, who called himself selling words for a living in his previous life, in addition to reading and writing, he drank tea and played music, and occasionally loved to make himself tinker with side dishes, drink and drink himself, and there were no other additional hobbies. I thought in my heart, I am quite suitable for this era, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, but I have also stained five things, only the piano and painting are really not, and the others are at least slightly proficient.

suddenly thought that after coming to this life, he had never drunk the wine of this era, so he simply drank it today through the poet fairy Li Taibai's "Will Enter the Wine".

Instructed Red Sleeves to arrange a dining room to prepare a few appetizers, and take some of the treasured wine in the treasury, and prepare to hold a banquet in the side room and drink with Liu Baiqing and many Qingyun Pavilion guards.

But after a while, the wine and food were all prepared, and Liu Baiqing and the guards all looked at Cao Yi with a strange look on their eyes. In the past, although their son-in-law occasionally dined with them, it was the first time in the evening, and looking at this posture, it seemed that he was ready to have a good drink.

"Everyone is watching what I'm doing, except for the one who is on duty tonight, the rest sit down, don't treat me as a son tonight, I just want to drink with you, don't look at my young age, I'm determined to be a wine fairy."

The guards in the house all laughed, Yi Gongzi didn't smile for a while, and always looked like a cold bystander, but in the past year, people have become much more peaceful and approachable, but sometimes serious nonsense is also common, but it can make people laugh the most, and their master, who is the best at this, often comes up with a surprise sentence that makes everyone laugh.

Although the Yi Gongzi they protect usually doesn't have a big shelf, they can't let go of drinking together at the same table like now. After all, they are all a bunch of rough people, and it is normal to drink and brag and tell some meat jokes, but now the son who is only fifteen years old and has just tied his hair is here, and there is a seventeen-year-old girl standing next to him, and he always feels a little constrained and not very happy.

However, Cao Yi didn't have this ideological awareness, even if he had discovered their restraints, he still chose to ignore them and take a cup

The fine wine of this era, the color is slightly golden, similar to champagne, put it in front of the nose and sniff, the wine is not very spicy, not too rushed, taste lightly, the brow does not feel wrinkled.

This degree is much lower than expected, and it is a bit like modern sake, and when you drink it, you know that it has not been distilled. No wonder Wu Song in "Water Margin" can drink eighteen bowls in a row because of his "three bowls but not his post".

Cao Yi took the stewed beef with chopsticks from the plate, chewed on the wine, and beckoned everyone to sit down. boasting of his strong martial arts and good drinking, although the degree is low, but after drinking too much, he will get drunk and get up, Cao Yi is currently slightly drunk.

Maybe I drank some wine, so some of the thoughts and opinions that I usually hid in my heart were thrown out at the banquet. It's nothing more than "Do you think this wine tastes good?" "What do you think of the food?" Naturally, everyone said yes.

"That is, Yi Gongzi people are kind and kind, otherwise how can we drink such good wine and eat such good food" This kind of words that are not slippery but slightly flattering are also one after another.

Cao Yi picked up the wine glass in his hand, drank it all, and sighed. With an unfathomable smile and a slightly mysterious tone, he said: "Actually, in my opinion, this wine and dishes can only be said to be improvised, and they are far from meeting my requirements for fine wine and food."

When everyone heard the words of their son-in-law, it was nonsense after drinking, you must know that the wine you drank today is all hidden in the treasury, and what the saint gave to Cao Gong today is already a first-class good wine, if it weren't for the light of Cao Yi's son today, you would be lucky enough to drink it.

Otherwise, the vast majority of people here are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to taste it in this life. As for the dishes, they had never tasted anything more delicate, tastier, and more delicious before, and they couldn't imagine what it tasted like.

Cao Yi could naturally see everyone's expressions, and he could only secretly despise the sentence "ignorant ancient people" in his heart. As far as dishes are concerned, the cooking of dishes in this era is still only in the steaming, boiling, roasting, frying, and boiling stages, that is, there is no stir-frying, no chili, and no monosodium glutamate, so for Cao Yi, who is accustomed to various seasonings, condiments, chicken essence, and monosodium glutamate in the future, the taste is really not good.

And the current liquor, according to the imperial court liquor drunk today, combined with the history of the previous life, it seems that all the liquor of the current Great Yan Dynasty is only fermented liquor rather than distilled liquor, so it is poor in taste, aroma, color, and alcohol concentration.

So Cao Yi said on the spot that when he stayed in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would definitely give everyone a few pots of good wine that they had never drunk......

Cao Yi was drunk and unconscious for the first time since he crossed over, and finally relied on Red Sleeves and Liu Baiqing to help him to the main house to rest. Of course, the red sleeves blocked the door and scolded the guards, what kind of son has golden branches and jade leaves, a delicate body, and is still young, how can you be as drunk as you coarse...... scolded a group of big men so much that they didn't dare to refute, and they were ashamed of themselves.

……

The next morning, Cao Yi woke up from the symptoms of a hangover, his head was still a little dizzy, and the red sleeves naturally prepared the sobering soup, and waited until Cao Yi finished washing and drank the decanting soup, or ran routinely and then followed Liu Baiqing to practice martial arts.

Red Sleeves asked the rough maid to boil hot water, and when the son came back from exercise, he served to bathe and change clothes, during which he also asked if he had said some nonsense and some troubles after being drunk yesterday.

"What's wrong? Childe always said something that the slave maid didn't understand," Red Sleeves puffed out a face, and said as if he was a little angry, "Last night, Childe even called the guards brothers, and talked nonsense, saying that he would send them a few better pots of wine, and the slave and maid were thinking at the time, this is already the best wine that can be found in the treasury, or is it given to the envoy by the saint, Childe, where do you say the better wine can be found?" ”

Although the red sleeves were in a slightly angry tone, but still in the spirit of thinking about Cao Yi, at this time I couldn't help but feel slightly anxious, my own young master said in front of so many guards last night, give them better wine, although they may not really ask the son to ask for it, but always can't seal the mouth, in case there are really a few people who don't open their eyes and can't control their mouths to say it, their son will lose face again, and will be ridiculed by several other young people of the family.

Cao Yi felt the urgency of the red sleeves, turned around, and pulled the cheeks of the red sleeves with both hands, making her whole face bulging round, very cute, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the red sleeves, this son has his own clever plan, and he can make it even if he makes it himself!" ”

After Cao Yi bathed and changed clothes, he had breakfast in the main hall in his yard, and then returned to the study with a literary novel, in fact, after coming to this world, sometimes life is indeed a little boring, after all, in his previous life, he was used to staying up late every day and working overtime to work hard for life. Now that he has suddenly become a top second ancestor who has nothing to do and doesn't run for a living, he does some ridiculous things that seem unbelievable to outsiders because he is bored, then it is actually understandable.

Of course, in general, Cao Yi still enjoys the current life, walking around with the maid and the guard every day, looking at the ancient human customs, the original ecological landscape, and the ancient ladies and talents, thinking about some messy things in his mind, the most is to compare when he sees something, if he uses the current method to improve and upgrade, how many times can he increase his profits, and how much money he makes.

Maybe it's because he wasn't rich in his previous life, and he was just a dick at the bottom according to the social class, so in ancient times, there was leading technology, a big platform, and start-up capital, and his mind became active, of course, some things were just to think about, and then precipitated back into the depths of his mind. And there are some things that must be done in front of you, such as making a good wine that is not available at the moment and improving the cooking level, because this is still to satisfy Cao Yi's own appetite after all.

In the afternoon, Cao Yi scribbled and painted on the best Chengxintang paper, but in the red sleeves, his son began to draw ghost talismans again, in fact, Cao Yi's calligraphy did not dare to say that he was the master of the world, but he could also afford the title of calligraphy, big seal, small seal, official script, regular script, line calligraphy, cursive script are all fine, and other European (Yang Xun) style, Yu (Shinan) style, Chu (Suiliang) style, Yan (Zhenqing) style, Liu (Gongquan) ......style, and even the Southern Song Dynasty thin gold body that has not yet been released can be at your fingertips. However, when it comes to the level of painting, it is really like a child's graffiti, it is indeed a bit bad to practice this Chengxintang paper, you must know that this is known as the best paper in the history of Chinese papermaking, with skin and eggs such as membranes, clean as jade, thin and smooth famous, one of the three treasures of the Southern Tang Dynasty study.

In fact, Cao Yi painted a still, which is used to make distilled spirits, and the production process of distilled spirits is very simple, which is nothing more than using the boiling point of alcohol (78.5 °C) and the boiling point of water (100 °C) to heat the original wine to between the boiling points of the two, from which the alcohol components and aroma substances can be evaporated and collected. If the volatile liquor solution is collected in a special container and cooled, it is liquid alcohol. However, during the heating process, the moisture and other substances of the raw material are also mixed with the alcohol, resulting in different quality liquors. Therefore, most famous liquors use multiple distillation methods and other processes to obtain liquor with high purity and low impurity content.

In today's Great Yan Dynasty, whether it is a royal relative, an official eunuch's house or a well-known restaurant, there are their own famous wines and winemakers, which are generally carefully brewed from the hometown of famous wines from all over the world. As far as Kaifeng Mansion in the capital is concerned, there are a total of 72 famous restaurants, which are called the main store, and other hotels are innumerable. Due to the fierce competition, the quality of the sake is often the foundation, so each store always has its own signature of well-known and good wine.

As the top family of the Great Yan Dynasty, Cao Fu naturally has its own winemaker, but now the Cao family only has Mrs. Gao's monk and the young Cao Yi at home, and the demand for wine is naturally very low, and the winemaker can almost be said to have nothing to do all day long.

So when the winemaker of the Cao family heard that his son-in-law was called, he was terrified, and he was afraid that he would be fired because of this matter. After all, the treatment in Cao Mansion is very good, and I thought about spending the rest of my life in Cao Mansion before.

"Childe, the winemaker Zhu Lao is here," Red Sleeves reminded softly behind Cao Yi.

"Old slave Zhu Wang, meet the son!" Zhu Wangzheng was about to worship, but was stopped by Cao Yi, as a person who has crossed over in modern times, watching an old elder bow to him, he is indeed a little uncomfortable.

"Where is Old Zhu from? How long has it been since I entered the house, but there are still family and relatives at home? ”

"Hui Gongzi, the old slave is a native of Xinghua Village, Fenzhou Mansion, Donghe Road, and it has been more than thirteen years since he entered the house, and the old slave was left before entering the house.

Xinghua Village, Fenzhou Prefecture? Could it be that "by asking where the restaurant is, the shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village"? Fenjiu has been famous since ancient times, and it seems that it is indeed true. Cao Yi thought in his heart, but in the eyes of outsiders, he heard Zhu Lao muttering, as if he was considering something.

"Gong ...... Childe, the old slave knows that he has not played much role in the house in the past few years...... Mrs. and Son-in-law don't like to drink, although the old slave is a winemaker in Caofu, but in fact there are not many opportunities to make wine, and the old slave knows that he is ashamed...... Old Slave ...... The old slave was willing to reduce half of the monthly money, and only begged the son to keep the old slave. After Zhu Wang finished speaking, he wanted to kneel down and plead with Cao Yi.

Frightened, Cao Yi hurriedly got up to help, and said eagerly: "Where is Zhu Lao, who said that I don't like to drink, I only tied my hair this year, I just wanted to drink before, and my mother will never allow me to touch it, I am looking for Zhu Lao to come over this time, there is something like Zhu Lao to ask for advice." ”

After arranging for Zhu Lao to sit down, Cao Yi said to Zhu Lao: "I have seen a novel method of making wine in an ancient book a few days ago, and my son guessed that if it is made, it must be a peerless wine, so I want Zhu Lao to help me make it, and this matter is very important, so I hope Zhu Lao will remember to keep it secret and do not talk to others!" If this matter is successful, don't say that the monthly money will be halved, and this son will also add more money to Zhu Lao every month. ”
