The Young Master of the Xia Family Chapter 73: Bartending
Xia Xinghan said it loudly on purpose, Xiao Er squinted his eyes and said: "Hmph, I don't know where the soil buns came from, I don't know how to drink, and I dare to be blind here!"
Xia Xinghan pulled Zhang Jiu'er to the tavern opposite, and Zhang Jiu'er said reluctantly: "Here, over there...... Brother, do you really know how to drink?"
Xia Xinghan said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are a layman! In our family, wine is something that men must know, and our family's wine is the best wine in the world." It's a pity, I'm in a hurry, otherwise, I'll definitely send you a few jars of wine. It's a pity that there are no good wines here, but that's okay, I'll give you some cocktails. ”
"Cocktail? what's that?" Zhang Jiu'er stared at Xia Xinghan and asked, Xia Xinghan said with a smile: "So I'll open your eyes!"
Xia Xinghan pulled Zhang Jiu'er into this tavern, there was an old man who looked very old in the tavern, the tavern was very dark and empty, and there was all wine jars on the wine cabinet, so there was a faint aroma of wine, Xia Xinghan raised his nose and sniffed it and said: "This family really understands wine, there is fruit wine, rice wine and spirits, hey? There is also a bartender cup?" Xia Xinghan excitedly looked at the heavy pure gold bartender cup in the old man's hand.
Hearing Xia Xinghan's words, the old man's cloudy eyes rose slightly, and he seemed to be very interested in what Xia Xinghan said.
After raising his head and seeing Xia Xinghan, the old man asked suspiciously, "Boy, what did you just say?"
"Bartending cup, old man, you see there's no one in your shop, but you're a cow, a bartender cup made of pure gold? This is very rare! Ordinary people can't play with this thing. ”
The old man shook his head and said, "This is not called a bartender, this is something I invented, and it is used to mix wine to get better wine!"
Xia Xinghan asked suspiciously: "You invented it, no, we have this thing at home, it's called a bartending cup." It's called a cocktail, don't you know?"
The old man looked at Xia Xinghan suspiciously and said, "Is there such a place in the world?"
The old man asked excitedly, Xia Xinghan walked to the counter and whispered, "Cangxing Empire." ”
Then the old man shook his head, and he said with certainty: "Impossible, I came from the Cangxing Empire to learn winemaking here, but as a result, my skills have been stagnant, and I can't find a breakthrough." ”
Xia Xinghan rolled his eyes, and then said: "Old man, it's better to be like this, if you don't believe me, I'll make you a glass of wine, and if you think it's delicious, you can let me make a glass of wine for my senior sister for free." What do you think?"
The old man looked at Xia Xinghan. To tell the truth, the old man looked dirty and listless, and it would be strange if someone was willing to come and drink! The old man snorted coldly: "Do you want to drink and go to the other side, come to me to drink?"
"Hehe, on the other side is to make wine with wheat and soybeans mixed with sawdust and straw. The taste is pungent, but the strength is average, and the taste is average. It's shameless to say that he is the No. 1 wine in Hanjing. Xia Xinghan said with a disdainful face, the old man glanced out the window, and then said: "That is indeed the first wine in Hanjing, because Hanjing can no longer be brewed, although the wine here is all grain, but the taste is not as good as him, and I am also defeated." ”
Xia Xinghan smiled: "Old man, then you have to try it even more, if I don't get your approval, I will get out of here immediately, and I will never bother you again." And you don't lose anything, it's just a glass of wine. Right?"
The old man looked at Xia Xinghan, and then asked, "Okay, you can use whatever you want on this table, I want to see what you can do." ”
Xia Xinghan thought for a while, and then took out a few fruits from Dongling Pass from his star rune, these fruits were all prepared by Xia Dongting's order, Xia Xinghan took out an orange and said, "Then start?"
The old man nodded, Xia Xinghan walked to the counter, Zhang Jiuer looked at Xia Xinghan very curiously, he took the fruit and quickly cut the orange and put the orange into a glass container, and then put it on a small stove above the table to bake, this stove is full of hot coal, Xia Xinghan didn't look at it, raised his hand and grabbed a small wine jar, took out some of the wine in it with a wine spoon, put it in the golden wine cup, and then added white wine, and then Xia Xinghan poured the hot juice water into the wine cup, after Xia Xinghan covered the wine cup.
He slapped the table with his little hand, and he heard a bang, which frightened the old man's beard up!
Xia Xinghan's move was really terrifying! He was holding a wine cup made of pure gold with one hand! This thing couldn't be caught by an ordinary adult, not to mention that he was a twelve-year-old child, the old man looked at Xia Xinghan in surprise, he was sure that Xia Xinghan had no star power at all. This is pure wrist strength, and the wine cup rolls back and forth in Xia Xinghan's hand, shaking. Outside, the slurry inside can be heard hitting the side wall of the cup. Xia Xinghan was playing with such a heavy thing, and this thing felt very light in Xia Xinghan's hand, when he rolled up and down, the old man saw that it was controlled by strength and angle, not a trick! He could see and hear, Xia Xinghan then used different angles to mix the pulp juice and the original pulp of the liquor, as well as the slurry of the fruit wine.
Until the end, Xia Xinghan's arm was broken, and he put the wine cup on the table and heard a bang, and the people queuing outside heard the movement in the room!
Someone with good things poked his head out of the door to look into the house, the corners of Xia Xinghan's mouth were hooked, and he said with a smile: "Rank, please open your eyes! The best wine in Hanjing is about to appear!"
Xia Xinghan opened the wine cup at this time, and at the moment of opening, a refreshing smell of wine wafted out, the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly became brighter, and his dry and dusty hands trembled and pointed to the wine cup and said, "This ...... This is my wine?"
Xia Xinghan smiled and poured it into a porcelain cup, then handed it to the old man and said, "In this weather, a glass of hot wine is just right." ”
When I smell the smell, the people outside are already drooling, and it is really surprising that such a glass of wine is suddenly made!
This wine ...... How the hell did you come up with it?
The old man took the porcelain cup with trembling hands, he drank the wine all, the old man's gray cheeks were instantly filled with a ruddy luster, the heat of the white wine, the mellow aroma of the wine, the sweetness of the juice, constantly impacting his throat, when the warm slurry flowed to the stomach, he felt that the limbs had an indescribable sense of comfort. The corners of the old man's excited eyes moistened, and he whispered, "This...... How is this wine made?"
Xia Xinghan smiled: "This is not winemaking, it is bartending." There are rules and secrets for sake brewing. Your wine is still a little more tender, and I can do this level of wine in this room, and if it is more difficult, it will require the purity of the puree, but you don't seem to be able to do it. ”
Xia Xinghan said with a smile: "Old man, next time you can consider using potatoes and koji." If so, can I make a glass of wine for my sister?"
The old man nodded hurriedly, Xia Xinghan cleaned the wine cup unhurriedly, and only after confirming that the wine cup was okay did he start to mix wine, this time Xia Xinghan took out a lot of fruits from the star rune, all of which were brought from home. The ability of the star rune to keep fresh is super strong, Xia Xinghan also found some liquor in it, these liquors were given to Xia Xinghan by Qin Miaoyu to ward off the cold, which can be regarded as the wine of the Cangxing Empire, from the perspective of the quality of the wine, the purity of the wine of the Cangxing Empire is at least much better than that of Hanhai, after all, there is enough food to eat. I have some surplus food at home, so I think about playing some tricks!
Xia Xinghan heated a glass of white wine this time, and then used the ice skate outside to put it in the wine cup, Xia Xinghan mixed the wine with a kind of apple wine this time, and the old man also obviously found that when mixing this time, Xia Xinghan mainly let the slurry inside hit and collide, and when the wine cup was flipped in the air, it was constantly hitting the bottom, which was like using a sledgehammer to temper the wine inside.
Zhang Jiu'er also looked at Xia Xinghan expectantly, she also wanted to see what kind of wine the little junior brother brewed for her. In the end, Xia Xinghan slammed the wine cup on the table and slammed it again, after opening it this time, a rich and mellow fruity aroma wafted out, Xia Xinghan took a silver cup, and then poured the wine into it. He plucked another grape, put it in a cup, and said, "Take a bite." ”
Zhang Jiu'er took a sip of the letter suspiciously and said, "Wow! It's so refreshing! But it's boring!"
Xia Xinghan smiled: "Do you want to be strong?" He looked at the wine that had boiled to the point of hot wine, and then poured the wine into the cup. As a result, the taste of the wine can be said to be fragrant, and the people outside the door who are watching the excitement rush in, and everyone is looking at the wine glass in Zhang Jiu'er's hand, all fantasizing about what this glass of wine tastes like? Zhang Jiu'er picked up the wine glass excitedly, as if he had obtained some treasure. The old man hurriedly said, "Wait!"
Zhang Jiu'er looked at the old man suspiciously, and the old man said a little embarrassedly: "Can you give me a little bit and let me taste it?"
Zhang Jiu'er nodded, she poured out a small amount into the old man's cup, the old man drank this sip and felt that the feeling he had when he was young was back, youthful, romantic and snowy, and passionate! And seemed to think of "her" in love......
The old man said excitedly, "What kind of wine is this?"
"This glass of wine is called Violet Heart, and it was specially given to my favorite sister. How about Senior Sister?" After drinking this glass of wine, Zhang Jiu'er said excitedly: "It's delicious! And after drinking the first sip, the feeling that seems to freeze my heart melts all at once! This feeling is so beautiful! Little junior brother, you will keep getting me this chicken tail wine in the future!"
Xia Xinghan smiled and took out a raw egg from the star rune, then took the ice, then took out the strongest jar of fruit wine in the house, and then took out a jar of sweet wine that is usually given to children from his star rune. Plus the high number of grain spirits in the Cangxing Empire. Xia Xinghan took out two large wine bowls, then heated the two bowls, and then Xia Xinghan poured wine layer by layer, the bottom was ice, and the top was spirits, after pouring down, Xia Xinghan lit two bowls of wine with fire next to the stove, and then beat an egg into it. ”
Xia Xinghan pushed a bowl of wine down in front of the old man, and then he lifted it up in front of him for the night, at this moment, the aroma of the liquor almost hooked up the gluttonous insects of everyone in the room, and Xia Xinghan drank all the wine in one gulp. It's a stuffy way to drink.
However, because I drank it all in one gulp, the taste went straight to the top of my head. The old man also followed along, and after he drank it, the hot feeling was like a volcanic eruption, and after the old man drank it, he slapped his big hand and shouted: "Good wine!! The old man has never drunk such a refreshing wine in his life!
"This wine is called a bomber, cool, right?" Xia Xinghan said proudly.
The old man nodded and said, "I've been studying winemaking all my life, but I didn't expect you kid to make me feel like I've lived in vain! Boy, tell me what you want, as long as you teach the old man, the old man can help you do anything." Including killing!"
