Chapter 47 Lanchang Building
"This common wine has been named for its characteristics since ancient times. It seems that the filter and the green tao are all names determined by color and appearance. Sun Laohan usually doesn't have an active mouth, but when it comes to wine, he is the first to say: "There are also those that are divided by brewing techniques, such as the green ant drunk, the three pulp, or the materials used to make wine, like the grapes to make ...... This...... Although the taste of these wines is not quite the same, they are all as clear as water, and the old and young don't know what to call them. ”
"Our kind of liquor made by distillation is called liquor." Wei Renshi said with a smile: "A piece of white water is called liquor." Then according to its different taste, it is divided into different fragrance types. ”
While speaking, Wei Renshi pointed to the first glass of liquor in his hand one by one, and said: "This cup is rich in aroma, sweet and sweet, the fragrance is harmonious, and the tail is long. I call it the strong fragrance type. ”
Then, he pointed to the second cup and said: "This cup is mellow, the flavors are harmonious, mellow and sweet, the aftertaste is refreshing, sweet and refreshing, I call it the fragrance type." ”
After speaking, he continued to point to the third glass of wine and said to Sun Laohan: "This cup has a prominent sauce fragrance, elegant and delicate, rich and mellow, long aftertaste, fragrant but not gaudy, low but not light, left to swallow overnight, and the empty cup is still fragrant after drinking, I call it the sauce flavor type." ”
Then he pointed to the last glass of wine and said: "And this last glass, the color is clear and transparent, the fragrance is rich, the entrance is sweet, mellow and plump, the fragrance is harmonious, and the aftertaste is long. ”
When Sun Laohan heard this, he said: "Shaolangjun is just able to speak, although the old boy has tasted different, but he doesn't know what to say!" ”
"Sun Aweng, remember the brewing method and taste of these kinds of wine, and in the future, the liquor produced in our winery will be divided into four flavor types based on these four tastes, which are four categories. Each species has three, six, nine and so on, and has different names. The high-end ones should be given an elegant, connotative, and interesting name, and the low-end ones should be named with a name that everyone can understand and be down-to-earth. Wei Renshi said: "Sun Aweng doesn't have to worry about this name, I'll take it." ”
"That's a good feeling!" Sun Laohan laughed.
The question of the name is not difficult for Wei Renshi, now that the liquor has been produced, there is another thing to do.
That is to build momentum for high-altitude liquor.
Nowadays, because it is not distilled, the alcohol content is not very high. Even the strongest Sanle pulp is estimated to be about 30 degrees.
People who like spirits love this sand pulp the most, but they will have a severe headache after drinking it.
The liquor produced by the distillery naturally has a low degree, which can certainly quickly enter the liquor market of the Tang Dynasty with its clear and mellow aroma.
But forty or fifty degrees, or even fifty or sixty degrees, may not be accepted by the public at the beginning.
So you have to make some name for these high-quality wines first, and people will slowly try them, slowly accept them, and slowly like them.
This method is in the book.
There are three bowls in the novel, and Wei Renshi feels that he can come to three bowls without entering the city.
This city is naturally not Fuchang City, but Luoyang City, the eastern capital.
Only in a big city like Luoyang, the flow of people at the city gate can make the reputation of liquor spread as quickly as possible.
But before that, you can also try everyone's reaction to baijiu in Fuchang.
When the liquor was first brewed, the distillery had just started production, and it had not yet had time to design the wine bottle. Wei Renshi made liquor with a gourd and left the liquor shop with him.
The place to taste wine should naturally be chosen in a place where there are many people and many people who drink alcohol, and it must be a place where you can afford to drink good wine.
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Renshi chose a place.
Wei Renshi pinned two wine gourds to his waist, and when he arrived at the head of the village, he ran to Li He's house, knocked on the door and went in to see Li He, and said, "Go, Changji, come with me to the county seat." ”
Li He was about to go out to find a sentence and asked, "What are you going to do in the county seat?" ”
"Please go to Lanchang Building." Wei Renshi said with a smile.
"To Lanchang Building?" Li He was a little surprised, and asked again: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Lanchang Tower?" But what? It's like that...... there."
"Let's go and taste it." Wei Renshi said: "By the way, let me give this thing a reputation." ”
"What's in there?" Li He looked curiously at the few gourds on Wei Renshi's waist.
Wei Renshi smiled and joked: "This is a good thing, I can't say it, in the future, the money for the two of us to go to Beijing to take the exam will come out of this thing." ”
Li He became even more curious after hearing this, so he agreed to Wei Renshi. asked Li Rong to put a cart on the donkey, and then took the donkey cart to Fuchang City.
Lanchang Lou is the best restaurant in Fuchang City, it is said that it started from Fuchang and has opened a branch in Luoyang.
The name of this Lanchang Building comes from a palace not far from Changgu. It was originally called Lianchang Palace, also known as Lanchang Palace, which was built during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty. But Emperor Yang of Sui never came, but he cheapened Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.
Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Empress Wu Zetian, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji have all visited here to play and stay.
However, after the Anshi Rebellion, this Lianchang Palace was abandoned.
However, there are still many literati and scholars who like to be nostalgic for the past and hurt the present, so they go to the old site of Lianchang Palace to visit and sigh.
Therefore, because of this name, this Lanchang Building has attracted many literati who come to Fuchang or go to the former site of Lianchang Palace to visit.
The interior of Lanchang Building is really high-end, Wei Renshi and Li He came at noon, and Lanchang Building was lively.
There are many people on the first floor, and the people on the second floor are rich, which is a good place for Wei Renshi to try liquor.
After waiting for a moment, waiting for an empty table, the two sat down. Immediately, someone from the hall came over and wiped the table and asked, "What are the two Langjun eating and drinking?" ”
Naturally, there is a menu, but it is made of wooden signs, with the names of the dishes engraved on them, and hung in the corners of each table.
Wei Renshi ordered a few things casually, and the one who ran the hall went to report it.
"Renshi, what are you going to do?" Li He looked at the gourd on Wei Renshi's waist and asked.
Wei Renshi smiled, took out a wine gourd from his waist, pulled out the stopper, and immediately another strong fragrance wafted out from it.
Li He sniffed as he watched Wei Renshi put the wine gourd on the table.
"Just put it here." Wei Renshi smiled at Li He.
Li He took a long breath and said, "Is there wine in this gourd, or is it next to it?" How does it smell so good! ”
"This is the liquor I made." Wei Renshi said: "Let's see if anyone notices." ”
The aroma of wine gradually wafted out of the gourd, and people on the nearest table around them had begun to snort and look around.
Gradually, more people also smelled this strong fragrance and began to turn their heads to find it.
