Before she reached the hall, Li Zhen couldn't help but sniff, and the rich aroma of the hot pot had already wafted out.

"Childish!"

Li Zhi was about to stuff a large slice of hot mutton into his mouth, when he suddenly heard a loud roar, so frightened that the meat slices fell on the table and almost didn't stuff the chopsticks into his nostrils.

"It seems to be the voice of a starling?"

Li Chengqian just finished eating a piece of fungus and took a sharp breath, wiped his red mouth, and poured a mouthful of Sprite before saying, "Listening to the voice of the eighth brother, why is he here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhen had already bumped in, and when she saw Li Zhi and Li Chengqian, she was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Prince and Brother Nine are really here!" ”

Compared with the well-behaved and polite Li Zhi, Li Zhen has been a naughty ghost since she was a child, her words and deeds are perverse and casual, and after speaking, she ran to the hot pot on the table, "Childish slave, how to eat this thing?" ”

Li Zhi picked up a piece of mutton and made a demonstration, and Li Zhen unceremoniously shook it up, and the action was a little more skilled than Li Chengqian.

Seeing Wang Xiang coming in after him, Li Chengqian asked, "What's going on outside?" How did the eighth brother come here? ”

Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and told him about the things outside, and Li Chengqian said to Li Zhenxun: "Eighth brother, why are you still so reckless. ”

Li Zhen replied casually while chewing on the slices of meat: "Isn't it okay, I have already asked Helan Facao to take someone back." ”

Looking at Li Zhen, who didn't care, Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, his eighth brother couldn't control his father, so he let him live in the Yue Wangfu early and make trouble with him.

"Wang Jiancheng, my eighth brother has always been naughty, even his father can't control him, and today's things are ......"

Wang Xiang hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, His Royal Highness King Yue is not reckless." "Wang Xiang doesn't want to offend this unprincipled little kid, it is necessary to live in Datang and have a good relationship with every prince.

The little fart child is the easiest to coax, especially the foodie little fart child, when the little fart child can't wait, Wang Xiang is very attentive to help him with the meat slices, and the guests and hosts are happy after eating a meal, Li Zhen's attitude towards Wang Xiang has turned one hundred and eighty degrees.

The next days will be much more leisurely, the potatoes have been planted, and the people of Sinong Temple are responsible for taking care of them, and Wang Xiang only needs to go to check them every day. Maybe it was because Li Zhen ran to the Marquis Linchuan's mansion twice in three days to eat, and Helan Yueshi didn't come to trouble again.

Li Chengqian, Li Zhi and Li Zhen replaced Cheng Chuliang as frequent visitors to the Marquis of Linchuan's mansion, and the leisurely days passed day by day......

The matter of welcoming relatives has been negotiated with the Yang family, and the date is set for ten days later, which is a good day to marry and marry. The dowry naturally can't be casual, after all, one is the little marquis of the Hou Mansion and the other is the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, Lin Chuan's Hou Mansion is now a strong outsider, but Wang Xiang has a warehouse, let the Wang housekeeper go out with a few catties of fungus, a few bottles of two pots, and some other things, and when he comes back, the dowry will be completed, and there will be a lot of silver balance. Li Zhi showed special concern for Wang Xiang's marriage, and sent someone to send a lot of gold and jewelry, although he knew that he had another purpose, Wang Xiang still had a good impression of this little ghost, Li Chengqian and Li Zhen, who came to eat and drink every day, never saw them send a little thing over.

"Young master, the shopkeeper Huang of Baiwei Building asked me today if Yun Er and wine can be supplied in large quantities."

Wang Xiang said: "Yun'er can't supply a large amount of wine for the time being, but it's okay to drink, hasn't our winemaking workshop started to make wine." ”

Steward Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, what people value in Baiweilou is our wine, and the wine brewed in the winery is not eye-catching. ”

A wine tasting is the new name of Erguotou in the Tang Dynasty, when Wang Xiang boasted to Cheng Chuliang that day, he said it casually, and then Li Shimin got some Erguotou from somewhere, and said after a certain drink: "This wine deserves a taste." After these words came out, the name of Yitasting spread among the nobles of Chang'an City.

"It's been a few days since I saw Cheng Zhiliang, and some time ago, didn't he run to the brewing workshop every day."

Hearing Wang Xiang's emotion, Steward Wang replied: "I heard that there was a war in the west, and the captain of the horse went out with the army, and he was in a hurry when he went. ”

"He's on the march?" Wang Xiang was stunned and felt a burst of amazement, the gentleman who used to eat, drink and play with him had grown into a man who could protect his family and defend the country, but he was still idleness every day as before.

Steward Wang said with a smile: "When the captain left, he complained that he didn't see a taste of wine brewed from our winery. ”

Wang Xiang patted his head, during this time, he was only busy with potatoes and marriage, but he forgot to teach the distillation method to Laifu.

"What about the Rifles?"

"He's still in the brewery."

Wang Xiang smiled heartily and waved his hand: "Let's go, go to the winemaking workshop, and from today we will start brewing a tasting of wine." ”

When he came to the winemaking workshop, Wang Xiang was first shocked by a plaque hanging on the eaves of the winery.

"What is this?"

Steward Wang said with a smile: "This is a plaque made by the captain of the horse to find everyone in Chang'an City." ”

"This Cheng is bright...... Wang Xiang muttered, but he was quite satisfied in his heart, and he also missed the cheeky and rude and righteous friend, "When you return from the battlefield triumphantly, I will make you have a good drink!" ”

"You, you have sealed and stored all the brewed raw wine, and it will be useful in the future."

"You, that's you, didn't I say that you must wash your hands before making wine and then grab the grain, if you do it again, you will have to deduct your wages, the young master said that the food and drink must be hygienic, do you know what hygiene means?"

"A tasting of wine is not our own blowing, it was sealed by His Majesty himself, have you ever heard that Baiweilou sells ten taels of silver for a small glass of wine? That's what our young master sold to them, and in the future, our wine tasting workshop will be a place to make a wine tasting. ”

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Laifu directing everyone to make wine, and from time to time he boasted proudly.

Steward Wang coughed quietly, and Laifu looked back and hurriedly smiled: "Young master, Steward Wang, why are you here?" ”

Wang Xiang laughed and said, "Come and see how the chief manager of Laifu commands people to make wine." ”

Laifu blushed and said embarrassedly: "I, I'll just shout nonsense, it's all done according to the young master's orders." ”

"I've been brewing a lot of sake lately."

Laifu nodded and said: "It's not a lot, the original liquor brewed is almost impossible to put down, and it is all sealed according to the young master's orders." ”

"So much wine?" Wang Xiang was a little surprised.

Laifu replied: "No, the soaked grain is almost finished, and it is two thousand stone grain." ”

As Laifu walked around the winery, the vat containing the original wine was almost full, and Laifu asked, "Young master, when will you start brewing a tasting of wine?" ”

"I'm here today to teach you how to make a wine, where are all the tools you prepared last time?"

Hearing Wang Xiang's words, Laifu's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "It's all inside, and there is a small workshop for storing tools." ”

"Take me to see it."

The small workshop is the distillation tool that Wang Xiang asked Laifu to find someone to build, and the drawings were burned by Laifu as early as after the completion of the building, this is the only set of distillation tools in Datang, if you want to say that what you are not satisfied with is that this set of tools is not made of glass but made of iron sheet and wood, the effect may be worse, but there should be no big problem, and you can make a set of glass in the future.

When assembling the distillation tools, Wang Xiang did not ask others to help, only asked Laifu and Steward Wang to help on the side, and instructed them not to divulge the distillation method.

After assembling it, Wang Xiang asked Laifu to seal the whole set of distillation tools with several layers of fabric, leaving only the raw material mouth and the wine outlet, the raw material mouth is the place where the original liquor is poured, and the wine outlet is the outlet for obtaining the distilled spirit.

After all this, Wang Xiang asked Laifu to fetch some original liquor, after all, everything was done step by step according to the method in the book, and he had not actually operated it before, and Wang Xiang was not completely sure about the first time he tried to distill liquor.

Rifle and Steward Wang were even more curious about how to turn ordinary wine into a wine tasting through this strange set of tools.

The first time he distilled, a barrel of original liquor turned into a small half barrel, Wang Xiang tasted that the taste was still a little light, but the color was much clearer.

The second distillation, only about one bowl of the small half-barrel wine remained, and the rich aroma of the wine had already overflowed before it was tried.

"What a strong aroma of wine!"

Someone outside the small workshop exclaimed, and everyone turned their eyes to the small workshop, their eyes were full of burning heat, and the smell of wine came from there.

Looking at the crystal clear wine in the bowl, Wang Xiang knew that this time it should be a success, and Wang Xiang took a sip in the expectant eyes of Steward Wang and Laifu.

The entrance is moist and smooth, the wine aroma is rich, a little lighter than the second pot head, but it is also less spicy than the second pot head, the taste is better, and I am very satisfied after tasting it.

Seeing that Steward Wang and Lai Fudu were staring at him, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "You can also taste it." ”

Steward Wang frowned and said worriedly: "Is it too much of a loss for a large barrel of raw wine to make such a bowl of wine?" ”

Laifu Meizi tasted a sip of wine and said casually: "No loss, no loss at all, there are countless wineries that sell original wine in Chang'an, a jar of original wine is only sold for ten cents, and a small glass of wine in Baiweilou is sold for ten taels of silver, and this wine tasting can only be brewed by our wine tasting workshop, if I want to say that we don't have to brew the original wine ourselves, just go to those wineries to buy the original wine, and come back to make a lot of silver by brewing the purchased original wine into a wine tasting and changing hands." ”

Damn, Laifu is a talent, if it weren't for the fact that Steward Wang was reluctant to soak the two thousand stone grains that were soaked, Wang Xiang really planned to buy the original liquor directly and come back to distill it.

After Laifu explained this, Steward Wang also figured out the reason, and couldn't wait to ask: "What did the Huang shopkeeper of Baiwei Lou mention?" ”

Wang Xiang smiled and nodded: "Tomorrow, you will bring Shangfu and go to the shopkeeper of Baiwei Building to talk about a wine tasting." ”
