Chapter 121: Flower Brewing
It's really late today, bow and apologize!
Flower brewing, as the name suggests, is a drink made from flowers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Flower brewing is not a novelty, it has been around since the previous dynasty.
It is said that the name of the wine made from flowers is an extremely elegant thing, but in fact, the flower brew is not widely accepted by people all over the world.
There are not many people who like flower wine, one is that flower wine is generally not strong enough, and many people who love to drink alcohol think that it is not strong enough, so they do not like to drink.
Second, it is extremely difficult to make wine with flowers, and the floral aroma is rich when there are more flowers, and the wine flavor is insufficient, and the fragrance of flowers is lost when there are fewer flowers, which does not fit the name of flower brewing.
Only a few of the ladies occasionally remembered to use some flower brew at the party.
But that's not the reason for Kang Yeon's change of face.
She changed her face because of the name Xinxiang that Su Chenjing said.
She had heard the name a year before she died in her previous life.
At that time, Du Yunche had already snubbed her, and only occasionally came to her yard to see Ning'er.
Lu Xiu'er often asked her to serve in the main room.
Once Lu Xiu'er was at home to a banquet for the ladies of other mansions, so she asked her to serve the wine, and she used this flower brew called Xinxiang.
She was so impressed because Lu Xiu'er had a humble and smug expression on her face at that time.
A lady present said in a stammering tone: "I have heard that the most popular wine now is this fragrant wine, and the nobles in the palace now drink this kind of flower wine. ”
"Yes," the other lady's tone was full of pity, "It's a pity that this kind of flower has a low wine production rate, and most of the few ones are paid tribute to the nobles in the palace, or sold to dignitaries, and we ordinary people just can't eat it anymore." ”
The lady who spoke before said: "That's right, today is borrowed from Grandma Du's light, we can have the opportunity to taste the beauty of fragrant wine, speaking of which Grandma Du is really blessed, I heard that Master Du personally visited the famous family, and finally found a master who is good at making flowers, this fragrant wine is the first jar of wine made by Master Du and the master together, and it is said that it is to be given to the wife who works hard to keep the house." ”
As soon as the words fell, a voice of envy and admiration sounded in the room.
"Young Master Du is really good to Grandma Du, you are really husband and wife."
"It's really envious of us."
"What are we women asking for? Isn't it just that you can treat your husband wholeheartedly? ”
Lu Xiu'er's face was embarrassed, but there was a smug look in her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were full of showing off.
Kang Yeon immediately understood why she had to ask herself to serve the drinks.
She fell out of favor with Du Yunche, but because she gave birth to Du Yunche's eldest son, at the beginning, Du Yunche would not snub her Ning'er even if she snubbed her, and occasionally went to her yard, which naturally caused her strong dissatisfaction in Lu Xiu'er's eyes.
At that time, she was full of bitterness, thinking that what those women said was true, thinking that the kind of flower brew they drank was really brewed by Du Yunche for Lu Xiu'er, her heart was both jealous and envious, and all kinds of emotions came to her heart, so she remembered the name Xinxiang.
Later, she also asked someone to inquire, and Xinxiang was indeed a new flower brew launched by the Du family, and it was well received as soon as it was launched, and it was in short supply.
She believed what those people said, because the Du family had always been in the flower business, and had never set foot in other industries, especially wine.
Now it seems that I was so easy to deceive at that time.
How could a person like Du Yunche brew any wine for a woman, the so-called wife who worked hard to keep the house was just adding a sales gimmick to his own wine.
Kang Yan shook her head and walked out of her memories, looking at Su Chenjing's gaze was very complicated.
"What's wrong? Is there anything strange about it? Su Chenjing asked confusedly.
Kang Yan shook her head, "It's nothing, I just think the name of your wine is very special, why is it called Xinxiang?" ”
Su Chenjing smiled but didn't answer, and told the little guy around him to get two glasses of wine.
"You'll find out if you taste it first."
After a while, the servant brought two glasses of wine, followed by a plate of side dishes.
In the pink-blue petaled lotus sunflower type celadon bowl, the wine is clear and transparent, the wine aroma is rich and elegant, and the aroma is refreshing.
Looking at the dew-like liquor and smelling the fragrant fragrance will instantly relax people's mood, as if they are in a garden full of flowers, surrounded by intoxicating aromas.
Take a shallow taste of the bowl, a drop of lips full of fragrance, both the fragrance of flowers, and the freshness and sweetness of wine, swallow slowly, the throat rhyme is particularly special, first mellow and fragrant wine, and then a refreshing and dry energy from the bottom up, making people feel refreshed.
"Good wine, good wine, you can drink it in a cup or drink it in a small glass." Xiao Jiu next to Kang Yan couldn't help but sigh with the bowl.
Kang Yan was stunned and glanced at Xiao Jiu, "When did you learn to taste wine?" ”
Xiao Jiu has always liked martial arts and doesn't like to write anymore, and he doesn't like to drag text when he speaks, but it's rare to say something a little more literary today, which shows that this wine is indeed loved by him.
Xiao Jiu scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
Kang Yan was silent for a moment with the bowl in her hand, before she raised her head and smiled: "The entrance of this wine is mellow first, and then sweet, but it is always mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers and wine complement each other, but it is obvious that people can distinguish it, it is indeed a good wine, and it should indeed be called fragrant." ”
The perfect combination of wine aroma and floral aroma deserves to be called fragrant.
Su Chenjing smiled.
Although his complexion was much darker and thinner, this smile showed that his eyes were very bright, as dazzling as black gems.
Kang Yeon's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
She lowered her head slightly, no longer looking at Su Chenjing, "How does Young Master Su want to cooperate with me?" ”
Su Chenjing didn't answer and asked, "I heard that the Kang family hosted this year's Flower Fighting Party?" ”
Kang Yan understood what he meant, "Do you want this kind of wine to be used for all the drinks at the Douhua Party?" ”
Su Chenjing nodded.
Kang Yeon's brow furrowed.
In her previous life, she had not tasted the fragrant wine produced by the Du family, so she didn't know what the taste was, but it was certain that the wine that Su Chenjing served her just now tasted really good.
If you can use this kind of wine at the Douhua meeting, it will inevitably be loved and respected by wine lovers, so many people come to participate in the Douhua Party, people from all states and provinces of Daliang have, as long as you see the beauty of Xinxiang wine at the Douhua meeting, it will soon be passed on to ten, ten to hundred, and the whole Liang will know the good name of Xinxiang wine.
It can be said that the Douhua Club is the best publicity platform.
Su Chenjing is what it means, just like the Du family in the previous life used Du Yunche's affection to pave the way for Xinxiang wine.
If the fragrant wine produced by Su Chenjing is the same as the wine produced by the Du family in the previous life, what does this mean?
In the previous life, the Du family relied on this kind of wine business to get bigger and bigger, and the Du family's property became bigger and bigger, and the Du family, who had a big business, attached more importance to the issue of the heir of Du Yunche, the eldest son, after all, the heir is related to the inheritance and inheritance of the family incense.
Du Yunche's wife, Lu Xiu'er, has not been pregnant for a long time, which has made the Du family anxious.
This is also one of the direct reasons why Lu Xiu'er later took away her Ning'er.
And in this life, Xinxiangjiu was pushed out by Su Chenjing first, what does this mean?
Kang Yeon's heart suddenly flashed with excitement.
It means that the Du family has no chance to get involved in Xinxiang Liquor, which means that the Du family's business may stagnate, and the Du family may no longer have the opportunity to expand.
No matter which possibility it is, Dou makes Kang Yan feel excited.
Of course, if they are the same wine.
Su Chenjing saw that Kang Yan had been silent, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you, why are you always absent-minded, don't you want to cooperate with me?" ”
Kang Yan shook her head, not noticing the faint worry in his tone, "It's okay, I'd like to hear your details about the cooperation." ”
Seeing that she refused to say, Su Chenjing didn't want to ask again, so he talked about cooperation, "The Douhua Club is originally a flower-related event, and the use of flowers to brew at the Douhua Party is not only suitable for the theme but also an elegant thing, I think many people will think that this idea is original." ”
There is some truth to this, Kang Yan nodded.
"I'll give you a slightly higher price at the cost price, and the wine used in the entire Douhua Party is my fragrant wine, and the profit will be given to the Kang family 20%, how about it?"
To put it bluntly, he paid his own money and asked the Kang family to advertise the Xinxiang wine for him at the Flower Fighting Party.
Kang Yan subconsciously wanted to ask why should I help you do this? When the words came to his mouth, he went around in a circle, but he couldn't say anything, and finally said: "Although the Kang family undertakes the Douhua Party, I can't do the wine alone, I have to report to the prefect, and it's good to learn that the people of the mansion agree, but I don't think it's possible to use all the fragrant wine, and it would be good to be able to use two areas for you at most." ”
First, Douhua will have the wine that he was used to before, and if he changes it, it will inevitably touch the interests of some people, and many people are not used to it, and secondly, Xinxiang wine is now unknown, and it is difficult to convince everyone why all the reasons why Xinxiang wine is used, especially because it is difficult to adjust, she thinks that this wine is good, and it does not mean that everyone at the Douhua will feel good.
Su Chenjing was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he also knew that he couldn't force it, because he was too anxious, in fact, if he could get two or three special supplies of wine, it would be very good, so he nodded.
"In this case, you just wait for my news, but there will be results in two or three days," Kang Yan said, her lips moved, and she still asked the question in her heart, "Do you know if it is inconvenient for Young Master Su to tell me the origin of the fragrant wine?" According to me? As I know, there are not many masters who can make flowers, especially if they are so good. ”
This is indeed the case, and the entire Liang can't find a few masters who can brew a good flower brew, so how did Su Chenjing brew it.
Kang Yan wanted to ask this question just now.
Su Chenjing's eyes flickered slightly. rs
