Chapter Eighty-Six: Wine Tasting
In the center of the Xianju Building, four flower and bird screens were slowly rolled out, surrounding the center of the drinkers.
"In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, this wine tasting competition adopts the lottery format. Representatives of the twenty-five families were invited to come and draw the number. "A wooden box was placed in the center.
"Yangzi, I'll smoke it." Zu Runze looked eager to try, and before Yang Fan could agree, he walked up. It didn't take long for me to come back with a note. "Number twenty-five? You can really draw a number like this. ”
"What's so bad about smoking twenty-five, the finale!" Zu Runze pushed Liu Hui, who was expressionless on the side, "Papaya face, did you say?" ”
Liu Hui still had a dull face, he came here just to protect Yang Fan's safety, "I don't know." Zu Runze waved his hand and said it was boring.
As the No. 1 of this wine tasting, the time-honored Fenjiu Liquor Fang poured out bowls of wine, and the people who prepared it brought the poured wine bowls into the screen. Every drunkard got the wine. There are different ways to taste wine. Some people like to eat slowly, while others just drink it all in one gulp.
Inside the screen, "Good wine!" "Some of the flavors are picky, but they still taste the impurities in the wine. An old master is a frequent visitor to the major wine shops, drinking that wine, naturally his heart is clear where the wine is, and muttered: "Xinghua Fen wine, not bad, is good, or a little less feeling." Give a nail in the middle. ”
"Master Xu, your mouth is picky enough. I heard that this Fenjiu Liquor Factory has brought ten years of aging, and I am still not satisfied? "Drink the rest of the wine as he spoke." On the armor, I will give the armor! ”
The master surnamed Xu said with a smile: "When the old man traveled to Guanzhong, he once drank a kind of wine brewed by a mountain of wild men's spray ovens, called burning knives, which is the real spirit. I drank it at the time, not to mention how happy it was. ”
Most of the drunkards invited to drink very well alas, in addition to the soju, more or some rice wine, fruit wine, among which the rice wine from Shaoxing, warm and soft, has also won a lot of reputation. "Twenty-four!" Everyone's eyes looked at the winery of the Tianzi Lu Luo family. The most popular thing to win the championship today is the secret tribute wine of this Tianzi Luhao.
An old winemaker in the Luo family is famous for pinching wine. "Pinch the head to remove the tail and leave the middle" how many heads can be pinched and how many tails can be removed, this is based on the taste of the wine, the second is to see the changes in the hops when the wine flows, and the third is to rely on years of practical experience. Therefore, the quality of the wine, the process of pinching the wine, is very crucial. The Luo family's wine, each jar, is personally supervised by the old winemaker, therefore, no jar of the Luo family is inferior wine, and it can sit firmly in the position of Tianzi Lu.
Luo Zun had great respect for the old wine master who had been sitting behind him, and said respectfully: "Master Qu, it's our turn." The old winemaker put down the glass in his hand and arched his hand: "Young owner, you can just look at it." The old winemaker stood up and cut his hand into the yellow mud seal.
Syllable! The whole yellow mud lid was lifted, the red cloth was lifted, and the aroma of wine overflowed. The old winemaker sprinkled the wine very boldly, picked up the wine jar, and stood in front of the fifty large bowls with yards on one side.
Call!
The jar was raised to shoulder height, and the dusty sake hung down. The wine is translucent in color and exchanges molecules with the air. Drops of wine that had been dormant for ten years began to be awakened. The aroma of the wine was so strong that even the drunkards in the screen were shocked when they smelled the aroma. After spilling not much wine into the jar, the old sommelier grabbed another jar and continued to pour the wine. Fifty bowls, five jars of wine, just right.
The waiter who was waiting went up to serve the wine, and was smoked by the strong aroma of the wine. In the screen, there is only the sound of cooing, although Yang Fan has not drunk the old altar wine that has been dusty for ten years, but the wine in Xianjulou is supplied by the Luo family. It looks like a three-year-old wine, and the degree is only thirty or forty degrees.
"Good wine! Fierce enough! ”
"It's really good wine! Joyfully! "The gamblers who drank twenty bowls of wine in a row all had red cheeks, although there were not many wines in height, but there was a good amount." On the armor, on the armor! There is nothing to say about this wine, I have never drunk such a good wine, happy! ”
Luo Zun listened to the voice full of praise in the screen, and secretly said that the spring thunder of ten years is not something that anyone can drink. Each of the five jars of wine in Kaifeng was sold for fifty taels of silver, and it was still priceless.
Zu Dashou in the private room has food and drink, and there is a unique taste. When he saw another bowl of wine, he took it with his hand. took a sip, nodded and said, "It's finally a little tasteful." Although it is not as good as the ten-year Yujiu Moutai, it can be regarded as a good wine. Under-nail, sub-incarnal. ”
Zu Dashou handed the bowl back to the waiter on the side, threw the small wooden sign marked under the armor in the bowl, glanced at it, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The waiter was a little speechless in his heart, he had served twenty-four bowls, and this adult was also enough, except for this subordinate A, there was no one who could be rated as Grade A. Rice wine was urine in his mouth, and he only gave a piece of Bing on the hasty matter. Some fruit wine and rice wine were all beaten in the position of B and B, and only a few famous liquor shops had a position in the mouth of Zu Dashou.
Now, it is also the last treasure of this wine tasting conference. The bowl on Yang Fan's side is specially customized, not like a porcelain bowl with a small bottom gap, but a porcelain cup like a small glass. On the side, the old winemaker glanced at Yang Fan, who was sitting behind, and after seeing Yang Fan nodding, he lifted the three-layer oiled paper cloth, and the aroma of wine at the beginning was not strong. No way, after less than a month, this mellow feeling has not been raised to a new level.
The old winemaker on Yang Fan's side gently shook the wine jar, and the aroma of the wine began to become stronger.
Hiss!
The smell of wine is fragrant, and the people around look at it. The old winemaker's technique is not much better than that of the Luo family. A jar of wine, fifty glasses, rain and dew, each glass looks similar. Then came the second altar and the third altar. "Alright." The old sommelier wiped his hands and nodded to indicate that the wine was ready to be served.
Xu Fuzi was still immersed in the taste of spring thunder in the ten years just now, and the smile on his cheeks grew. "Got it?" Looking at the strange wine glass, Xu Fuzi came closer to smell it, was stunned for a moment, and sniffed it vigorously. "Burn the knife?" He took a sip, stunned. This...... This...... He couldn't believe his taste buds, and this time he took another big bite. At first, the mouth was soft, but gradually, the hot current flowed down the throat and warmed the stomach. It seems that the first sip is a little inapplicable, and the old master's eyes seem to be sparkling.
Call! Xu Fuzi sweated all over his body and shook his whole body. I continued to take a sip, and then took one sip after another, and began to sweat all over, and I couldn't help but untie the top sip and exclaimed, "Good wine!" Strong but mellow, soft but not astringent, clear and hanging lips, what kind of wine is this? It's not enough on the armor! Wine! ”
"On the armor!"
"On the armor!"
