Chapter 307: Wine Tasting
"Young Master Rao, if I refuse you now, can I still eat this sweet cake?" Fei Yan asked cautiously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When Rao Chen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that in the heart of this Fei girl, she was not more important than a piece of sweet cake.
"Eat, eat, eat!"
Although Rao Chen wanted to squeeze out a smile, in the eyes of Xuan Jing on the side, Rao Chen's smile was better than crying, and he couldn't see where to go.
Sure enough, Fei Yan heard Rao Chen say this, and didn't say a word at the moment, just lowered her head and nibbled on the sweet cake in her hand, for fear that if Rao Chen regretted it for a while, she wouldn't be able to eat it herself.
Xuan Jing sat in the car, looking at the pair of men and women in front of him, he was really a little crying and laughing, it seems that Rao Chen is in pain today, a noble son, in the eyes of Miss Fei, is not as good as a piece of summer iced sweet cake, if this word spreads, it is estimated that Rao Gongzi will become a laughing stock for others in his life.
Rao Chen drooped his head and weakly opened the third layer of the gold-painted chest, but saw that there were several crystal bottles inside, which contained some dark red liquid, and he didn't know what it was.
However, Xuan Jing is a person who knows the goods, and he recognized at a glance that this is a special wine from Hezhou, I heard that in Hezhou, the best wine is only produced in a few specific production areas, and the price must be estimated according to the year, and the fruit wine produced by the best winery in the best year is said to be a bottle that can be auctioned at a sky-high price of a thousand taels of silver in the auction house.
Today, Rao Chen took out such fine wine to entertain guests, it seems that he has really made a lot of money!
"Master Xuan, it seems that you and I are the only two people who drink this wine today!" Originally, Rao Chen not only prepared good wine, but also specially prepared a crystal cup shipped from Hezhou, in order to match this bottle of good wine, but now Fei Yan reluctantly rejected herself, and it is estimated that this bottle of wine can only be drunk with Xuanjing and the two.
"Why? Such a good wine, at first glance, is the collection of Hezhou's finest wineries, why don't you invite this girl to taste it too? ”
Hearing Fei Yan's words, Rao Chen on the side could only smile bitterly, and Xuan Jing also secretly sighed that this girl was too heartless, you rejected others so ruthlessly, how could people still be in the mood to drink with you?
However, Xuan Jing still opened his mouth and said: "Since Miss Fei also likes the things in this cup, it is very good, anyway, it is very boring along the way, it is better to taste Brother Rao's good wine in this car first!" ”
Saying that, Xuan Jing took out the wine bottle from the gold-painted box, pulled out the cork casually, and was about to pour wine into the cup, but he saw an empty crystal bottle in the box, but the mouth of the bottle was larger than the one he was holding in his hand, and the bottom of the bottle was wider.
Xuan Jing remembered that when he was in Teigi, an envoy from the Xihe Kingdom came to pay tribute to the wine, and said that this wine was sealed and isolated from the outside air from the beginning of brewing to storage and sales, so before drinking, it is best to let the wine be exposed to the air for a period of time, and then start drinking to get the best taste.
Xuan Jing's heart moved, so he took the empty bottle, poured all the wine in his hand into the empty bottle, and then shook it lightly before putting the bottle on the small table in the car.
"Brother Rao, Miss Fei, let's let this wine wake up first, and when the taste comes up, let's start drinking it again, how about it?"
Fei Yan and Rao Chen glanced at each other, and both of them had a look of surprise in their eyes, you must know that both Fei Yan and Rao Chen grew up in the upper class of Fengdu since they were children, but this high-quality Hezhou wine is not a rare thing that can be seen ordinarily.
And Jing Xuan in front of him claimed to be from the Wasteland, which was an uncivilized and wild land, but it seemed that he was quite familiar with this high-quality red wine, it seemed that this Jingxuan Gongzi was definitely a child who grew up in a top rich family even if he was in the Wasteland.
Xuan Jing glanced at the two of them, and naturally knew what these two people thought in their hearts, but Xuan Jing also secretly screamed ashamed in his heart, if it weren't for the time when he was in the prince's mansion, the princess heard from the wives and ladies of those high-ranking officials and nobles that drinking this Laoshizi wine has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, so Xuan Bu specially transferred a batch of ** drinks from the palace every year, otherwise with Xuan Jing's temperament, he would never drink this kind of sour thing.
Although the sweet cake is not small, when it is finally finished, the wine is still awake on the table, and the carriage gallops all the way to Yuxiang Mountain, but the three people in the car fell into an awkward silence.
……
According to the requirements of paying attention to a point, if a good bottle of Hezhou wine is opened to the entrance, it must be held in a special container for at least about an hour, so that the wine and the air can be fully contacted and exude a unique aroma.
But Xuan Jing knew in his heart that it would only be an hour's drive from Zuo Weiwei's camp to the foot of Yuxiang Mountain, and if this time was all used to sober up, then the three of them would not have been able to enjoy Rao Chen's wine orally today.
So when there was still half of the journey, Xuan Jing said: "Brother Rao, Miss Fei, we have limited time today, although this wine has not yet woken up, but it can be drunk, why don't we start now, how about it?" ”
"Then ...... Let's go? Although Fei Yan hesitated to speak, the desire for wine in her eyes was still very obvious.
This made Xuan Jing feel sad for Philadelphia, the elder of the Muyun Regiment, and Fei Yan, the youngest daughter of Philadelphia, now looks like nothing more than a foodie with a beautiful face.
Rao Chen waved his hand listlessly, "Let's drink a bar!" ”
Xuan Jing poured the red wine in the crystal bottle into a special crystal cup, his hands were very measured, and the amount of wine poured into each cup was the same, no more than one-third of the cup, which was also learned by Xuan Jing when he was in Digi and those envoys of Xihe Kingdom.
At the banquet of the upper class, every detail of the behavior is revealing the master's upbringing and knowledge, so the nobles of the Kyushu countries will hire a rich master from a young age to explain some etiquette to these noble children, so as not to embarrass them when they go out in the future.
"Come on, there is wine, there are beautiful women, and there will be beautiful scenery for a while, let's not sit idle like this, let's enjoy the wine glass!"
After Xuan Jing finished saying this nondescript toast, he was not in a hurry to drink, but stretched his nose into the wine glass and sniffed gently.
To be honest, Xuan Jing repels this kind of wine that tastes like vinegar and will not get drunk no matter how much he drinks, but there is no way, now people with money and status like to drink two sips of wine, otherwise they are embarrassed to say hello to others when they go out.
