Chapter 122: Beer can only be savored

"I'll play a song for you, don't laugh at me!"

Shui Qingrou is not an ordinary woman, her family background is good since she was a child, and she follows the master to learn the theory of the sages, her soul is transparent and pure, and she is not a person who twists and fabricates, and the red firelight reflects her beautiful face like jade, and gently blows the bamboo flute horizontally to her mouth.

A song of the beautiful scenery of the West Lake that Chen Xu is very familiar with sounded, and there was an instant feeling of drizzling rain and spring water in March.

The night breeze blows lightly, and everything is silent.

Although the aroma mixed with barbecue meat was not suitable for the occasion, Chen Xu was intoxicated by it.

This song is blown out softly, a little more delicate than Chen Xu's wildness that day, with a hint of clarity and grace, it can be seen that she has not played less recently, and in this era without too much entertainment, it can make people more immersed, and they can blow all day long if they like it.

"I haven't listened to it for a few days, and my sister is getting more and more proficient!" Even Yu Wuya couldn't help but admire.

"I listened to it once that day, but I didn't remember it very clearly, and I don't know if I made a mistake!" The water was soft and slightly shy, a blush flew on her face, and a pair of big eyes shimmered slightly in the night.

Chen Xu didn't know what to say!

I didn't make a mistake when I listened to it, and this kind of memory is about the same as that of a tape recorder.

At the end of the song, the mutton skewers were almost cooked, Chen Xu picked up a few small bamboo tubes of seasoning and gently shook them on the skewers a few times, as the taste of mustard peppercorns came out, the fragrance was even worse, whether it was Yu Wuya or Shui Qingsoft, they all began to move, and even Chen Xu's own saliva came out.

"Let's eat, and then we'll talk about music!" Yu Wuya couldn't wait, took a few bamboo sticks handed over by Chen Xu and stuffed them into his mouth and tore them.

"Hmm...... Peerless delicious, Engong's craftsmanship in making barbecue is the first in the world......"

"Water girl, you can try it too!" Chen Xu handed the two strings to Shui Qingrou, and then picked up the two strings and opened the bow left and right.

I drank a stomach of tea at the dinner, and I was not embarrassed to eat fruit snacks, and my chest was almost hungry at this time.

In the next time, Chen Xu ate meat while roasting, Yu Wuya, a big foodie, was like he hadn't eaten meat for a hundred years, holding a handful of skewers in one hand and eating a mouthful of dripping oil, although the water was soft, although he ate very gently, he also ate a lot, and soon a lot of bamboo skewers were piled up on the ground.

"If only there were a few cans of cold beer!" Chen Xu was a little impressed.

"What is beer?" Yu Wuya asked while eating.

"A drink that goes well with skewers!"

"Then the next time Engong makes it and try it, Wuya is already a little impatient!"

Chen Xu thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't do it right now!" ”。

The process of beer is not complicated, it is fermented with barley malt boiling water, but it requires high temperature control to make it, and it requires the use of sugar and hops, at least neither of which are available now.

Sugarcane is used for sugarcane, and the sugarcane production area is in the south, and now the Lingnan region is still in the barbaric era, and a few years later, Qin Shi Huang will begin to conquer Lingnan, setting up three counties in the southeast, Guilin and Xiangjun, and even if he conquers, if you want to refine the sugar, you don't know that the year of the monkey has gone.

Not to mention hops, this thing is a traditional Chinese medicine in China, called hops, which belongs to a kind of marijuana, which has the effect of strengthening the stomach and eliminating appetite, cough and phlegm, but it is not produced in the Central Plains, only Xinjiang has it, and Xinjiang is still within the scope of the Western Regions.

And even if he gets sugar and hops, Chen Xu can't guarantee that he can make it, and the fermentation time of seven or eight days, according to the current level of technology, it is estimated that it is more likely to become a bucket of water.

So beer can only be savored.

"Actually, it's not bad to drink some herbal tea, although this barbecue is delicious, but if you eat too much, you can eat less!" Chen Xu still reminded Yu Wuya and Shui Gentle.

"I'm afraid, just drink more tea in a while!" Yu Wuya didn't care about it at all.

Shui nodded softly, stopped eating the string in his hand after eating, poured a cup of tea for Chen Xu and Yu Wuya, and then went to wash.

"Hiccup~ Eungong, what are your plans for tomorrow?" Yu Wuya asked with a full hiccup.

"Tomorrow I will return to Pheasant County with the county order, you have to manage this tea shop well, I may need a lot of money in the near future!" Chen Xu said while drinking tea.

"Engong rest assured, I have already agreed with the Shui family about the tea workshop, I am responsible for the production, they are responsible for selling, the coins obtained are distributed according to three seven, seventy percent will go to Engong, in addition to the purchase of tea and bamboo tubes and manpower venues, it is estimated that more than 50,000 yuan will be made in a month, and the caravan of the Shui family has also begun to sell to the surrounding counties, and it is estimated that it will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars after half a year......"

Yu Wuya carefully talked about the tea shop, and Chen Xu did not object after listening to it.

Yu Wuya is not suitable for business, although he is very attentive to what Chen Xu said, but he is loose-minded, so this matter is matched by Shui Qingru and the Shui family, which is also a very good result.

"You said to the Shui family, let them arrange people to search along the river, there are more tea trees in the south, and the quality of tea is better, especially in Huangshan, Wuyi Mountain, Lushan and other places, once discovered, you can open a tea workshop nearby, and the way of cooperation can be further liberalized, and the profits we take can be lowered, so that more businessmen can participate in it, and strive to let all the big cities in Daqin know that there is such a thing as tea within a year. When purchasing fresh tea, you can also spread the precautions for protecting tea trees and picking tea, so that farmers in tea-producing areas can consciously start cultivating and planting tea trees......

Chen Xu said as Yu Wuya nodded, and after listening, he said: "Engong, if this is the case, the method of making tea will definitely not be kept secret, maybe we will no longer be able to profit from it in a year or two!" ”

"After two years, we won't have to sell tea anymore!" Chen Xu shook his head, thought for a while and said, "But the few major tea producing areas I just mentioned you had better make it clear to the Shui family, to firmly control in your hands, in fact, there are many kinds of tea trees in the world, there are only a few kinds of good tea that can be made, to get a good taste and taste, there are also relatively strict requirements for the picking time, spring tea is the best, and spring tea is also concentrated in February, the taste of new tea picked at other times will be worse, bitter and bitter and sweet and weak, and the fragrance is insufficient!" ”
