Chapter 46 The Favor of the Scholars
"I heard that the envoy has taken in a few outsiders today?"
In the narrow state governor's mansion, a man with a thin figure who looked like a strategist said respectfully to Huang Wan. Huang Wan, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, smiled and waved his hand, and asked, "It's just a businessman, Wen Xiu, where did you get this news?" ”
"Don't dare, it's just hearsay." Xu Jing bent down slightly, "But envoy, you shouldn't have received anything...... Something you shouldn't take. ”
"What shouldn't you take?" Huang Wan was stunned for a moment, but actually laughed, "Wen Xiu, you and I have worked together for a long time, why don't you know who I am?" If you say that you have received something...... I received two jugs of fine wine, can I be considered a bribe? ”
Xu Jing shook his head with a smile and was silent, Huang Wan saw this, and hurriedly took out the two pots of wine given by Xun Gang from his arms, and carefully poured them into the wine glasses on the table. Smelling the fragrance that spread throughout the room, Huang Wan unconsciously got drunk again. He said to Xu Jing: "Wenxiu, this wine is the wine that the man gave me, you know, I am very good wine on weekdays, just smell this taste and know that this wine is not ordinary, come and have a drink with me!" ”
"Forget it, the lower officials are not strong in drinking, and there are still official affairs to do, in case of greed and mistakes, I am afraid that the impact will not be good." Xu Jing refused, and then laughed, "What's more, I think that the two small pots of wine shouldn't be able to stop Huang Yuanjun's mouth!" ”
"Hahaha! You know me so well, you can do it yourself, I'm going to taste the wine. ”
Huang Wan didn't pay attention to Xu Jing, picked up a cup on the table, and sniffed it on his nose first, although the fragrance was insufficient, it was very intoxicating; Xu Jing smiled bitterly and slowly walked towards the door.
"Huh."
"Poof!"
The sudden strange sound behind him couldn't help but make Xu Jing turn his head, and suddenly saw Huang Wan who collapsed on the ground, he was shocked, thinking that there was poison in the wine, so he hurriedly stepped forward and kept pushing: "Envoy, Huang Envoy!" ”
However, after pushing for a while, Xu Jing finally put his mind at ease; Huang Wan's face was extremely red, his nose was already snoring, and his mouth was lightly smashed. Where is this poisoning, it is clearly drunk!
"I'll go! Surprise me! "Xu Jing was in a cold sweat, if someone poisoned a governor, it would be an extremely terrifying case; But on second thought, this wine has such terrifying powers? You must know that Huang Wan likes to drink the most on weekdays, and he wants to put him down after a drink?
Xu Jing looked curiously at the wine jug that was almost full on the table.
"Huh."
"Poof!"
History is always strikingly similar.
From now on, the Yuzhou Prefecture Pastoral Government will strike for two days.
………………………………
Xu Jing is a famous person in Yuzhou, since he drank that wine, basically the entire family in Qian County knows that there is such a wine, and they have come to ask Huang Wan where he got this wine, Huang Wan is helpless, although he wants to hide his secrets, but he still told the location of Xun Gang's store.
Some unbelievers asked Huang Wan to take out the wine for them to taste, Huang Wan naturally refused, but helplessly, everyone in the world had too much influence on their rule in Yuzhou, so they could only endure the pain and pour a small glass per person; Pressing it to less than half a glass while pouring wine seemed to be the only way he could save himself.
And then......
"Tired, tired! Dare to ask when Xun Gongzi will open? ”
"That, this hero, our family has dealings with the Xun family, it stands to reason that Xun Gongzi should be regarded as my clan brother, can you make an exception for me to go in first?"
"Hero, our master is no longer good, after drinking the wine brewed by Xun Gongzi at Huang Yuzhou's house last time, he got the strange disease of 'if you don't drink the wine brewed by Xun Gongzi, you will die'; Money is indispensable! ”
Looking at this endless stream of visitors, and the outrageous reasons for seeing, Dian Wei was annoyed; But Xun Gang had an order, so he couldn't be rash, so he could only endure the unhappiness in his heart, and arched his hand: "Everyone, my son-in-law has been buying sorghum and other items used in brewing in recent days, and the shop is still being renovated in the past few days, and it will definitely open in three days, and I hope you will be able to support it at that time." ”
"Three days! My master can't wait that long! ”
"Can you let Xun Gongzi take out a few pots of wine first, I'll wait here to bid!" Don't worry, we are not short of money! ”
"I think you should have misunderstood something...... Dian Wei still held back his anger and said: "My son-in-law's trip is not to make money, but to let more people taste this high-concentration wine; Money is not actually a problem, but I hope you can understand us and others, and then the prince will definitely come to the house to thank you in person. ”
"This ...... Xun Gongzi is inconvenient, and I can't wait. ”
"That's it, let's come back in three days...... Ah, by the way, I hope the master will hold out until that time. ”
Xun Gang looked at the wolf-like customers behind the door, and was surprised and delighted. I didn't expect that the two pots of wine given to Huang Wan before would still have the effect of advertising, and when it came to opening, it would definitely sell well! And most of the people who come today are wealthy families, and the rich are tight; This time, we can't rely on those people's gambling awareness to make money like last time in Hatoyama Village, and we have to do some new tricks......
"Fengxiao, I want to do some new tricks, do you have any good ideas?" Xun Gang looked at Guo Jia, who was panting for carrying a basket of grain, and asked with a smile.
Guo Jia slumped on the ground, panting heavily, it seems that he can't just read and drink in the future, and he can't even be a porter. Hearing Xun Gang's inquiry, he thought for a moment and said, "Lord, I drank a sip of that wine a few days ago, although it is very intoxicating, but it lacks a fragrance. If I could find a way to make the sake smell better, I think it would be a big hit! ”
Xun Gang and others have already bought sorghum, and they are just waiting for fermentation in the past few days, otherwise who will make wine with fresh grain?
Xun Gang looked at Guo Jia silently, looking at the latter's back, and after a while, Xun Gang walked up to Guo Jia and said, "Did you drink secretly?" I remember telling you that you can't drink the wine I brew. ”
No way! How do you say that you have slipped your mouth? Guo Jia hurriedly smiled and said: "Hehe, lord, his subordinates are greedy, so he took a sip, really only one sip!" Dian Daxia can testify! ”
"Okay, Dian Wei didn't tell me!"
Big brother, why are you different from my focus? Guo Jia wanted to cry without tears, tried to change the topic, and hurriedly said: "Lord, I don't know if the method of my subordinates just now is feasible?" ”
Stinky boy, you still want to mess this up...... That's it, spare you for once. Xun Gang lowered his head and pondered slightly, Guo Jia's method is indeed feasible, if the fragrant wine is made into a limited edition and the price is raised, and then packaged in white porcelain, these clans are afraid that they will be willing to spend hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars to buy it!
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was already a prototype of white porcelain, even if it was very expensive, it should not be difficult to get...... Before, the wine was filled in a very random large vat, and if you want to make white porcelain, it will take a little time.
"And...... How to make wine more fragrant? Xun Gang has a little headache, although he knows how to get a still and how to make wine, but how to add fragrance is a difficult problem, is it difficult to add a little tempeh soy sauce to them to taste?
Wait, it seems that there is really a sauce-flavored liquor......
In the future, there will be a variety of flavor types of baijiu, and if you want to achieve high yield and good quality in a short period of time, it seems that only light-flavored baijiu is feasible. Xun Gang didn't know what the difference was between these liquors, but it seemed that this was simpler after all......
I have to say that Xun Gang is very casual.
I once heard that there is a fragrant liquor called Xinghuacun Fenjiu, although it also uses grains such as sorghum, but I can't imitate their process, so I should just add some apricot petals.
The villagers of Xinghua Village will definitely blow your head off if they know about it......
"Fengxiao, go find some apricot blossom petals."
"Apricot blossoms?" Guo Jia scratched his head, "Lord, now is not the time for apricot blossoms to bloom." ”
"What about pear blossoms, peach blossoms or something?"
"Those weren't opened these days!"
Xun Gang was helpless, he didn't expect that he didn't catch up with the good time, what flowers could bloom in this hot summer?
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Lord, there seems to be a peony garden in the south of the city, and the flowering period is one or two months late, but I don't know who the owner of this family is." ”
Peony flowers...... At least it's the national flower, and it's said that the sake it makes tastes good, so I guess it's okay.
"Fengxiao, please go to Huang Yuzhou to find out, if you can, take him a hundred or ten peony flowers!"
