Chapter 56 Two kinds of wine, white and flower wine cups

Because of Wang Qintang's proposal, coupled with the organization and arrangement by the county office, not only did the owners of the eleven pots in the county and their wine tasters come as they originally selected and sent to Zhili sorghum, but also some of the officials of the county office and influential squires in the county were also invited at the request of Zhang Shuting.

In this way, the room in the front yard of the pot could not accommodate it, so Zhang Shuting simply invited the master who built the tent to temporarily set up a tent in the front yard and set up tables and chairs.

Not only set up a table and chairs in the shed, but also sent the cook on the pot to buy a few fat pigs to kill, and on the day of wine tasting, Zhang Shuting specially invited the famous Wang chef of "Xiangshunju" outside the north gate to burn the main stove of the pot kitchen. In order to take advantage of this wine tasting, I can see off Wang Qintang, who has resigned as governor of Ansu.

At about ten o'clock, the invited personnel had arrived, and the black pressure in the shed was even more full. At this time, although Wang Qintang had resigned as governor of Ansu, he was in charge of it before the new governor arrived.

Speaking of which, Wang Qintang was also indignant, especially after he knew the real cause of death of the dead guy in the Runquanyong Burning Pot.

Therefore, at this time, I saw that he was supporting a sick body, and first talked about his understanding of Ansu soju, especially two years ago, everyone was able to meet frankly and work together to select Runquanyong Shaoguo wine to participate in the provincial competition of Zhili, and finally participated in the Panama international competition as Zhili sorghum wine, which was very touching.

Wang Qintang said that although the results of the competition have not yet come out, being able to participate as a Zhili sorghum wine is the glory and pride of Ansu Liquor, and it also represents the level and strength of Ansu Liquor to a certain extent. Finally, I hope that everyone will stay together for warmth and common development......

Because Wang Qintang's words were sonorous and powerful, they were completely from the bottom of his heart, and everyone here was moved by them. Especially Zhang Lianqi, as one of the big pot owners in China, he was of course invited to be there. But sitting in the corner at this time, after listening to Wang Qintang's words, his face was already red, white, and purple.

However, after all, he is old and treacherous, even if the expression on his face is strange, he still looks at everyone with a smile, calmly.

After Wang Qintang said, at this time, I saw the two guys Shi and Tian, who were in charge of the wine storage on the pot, also walked over from the middle courtyard with a basket of wine.

At this time, the shop guys Lao Sun and Xiao Luo, who were waiting on the edge of the shed, as well as the pot burners, including Sun Luo, also brushed and arranged the trays one by one, some of the trays were full of a water of porcelain small wine cups, and some of the trays were full of pure white wine cups.

As soon as the basket of wine landed, Shi Hetian and the two men respectively lifted the grapes and poured wine into the small wine cup in the tray that Lao Sun had set up. I saw that the master and the man specially poured wine into the tray where the pure white wine cups were placed, and the Tian man specially carried the grapes to pour wine into the wine cups with porcelain flowers.

It's just that at this time, everyone still doesn't know that the pure white wine cup is filled with the wine burned by Cui Dahai's mouth, and the wine cup used by the porcelain flower wine cup is the wine burned by Lao Yang's mouth. And this fashionable wine is the second retort that has just been burned on their mouths.

When there were two cups full of wine in front of everyone's table, a white and a flower, a public servant of the county office stood up and said to everyone in a loud voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is proposed by Governor Wang, and it is also entrusted by the Runquanyong Pot Advocate Shuting, please come, I want everyone to come and taste a product, the wine that has just been burned in the mouth of the expensive pot."

And again:

"Everyone knows that the Runquanyong pot has two retorts, and it is rumored that the cellar on one of its retorts has been destroyed, and there is no wine. I can now tell you responsibly that the cellar pond on the mouth of a retort has indeed been re-cultivated with cellar mud, and to say that it does not produce wine is pure rumor.

Now, the wine in two wine cups, one white and one flower, which is placed in front of everyone, is the second retort that has just been burned out of these two retorts. One of the cups was filled with wine from an old cellar that had never been touched on the mouth, and the other was filled with wine from a recultivated cellar. “

And again:

"I invite you here today to have a taste and see which of the retorts is better to brew the sake on the mouth. Of course, the shopkeeper Zhang also said that after everyone tastes it here, I hope that everyone will go to the retort to taste it, so that I can verify it for myself, and I think the better wine is burned from which retort. ”

After speaking, he said loudly again:

"Alright, the tasting begins—"

All of a sudden, everyone began to enjoy it lively. After tasting and tasting, everyone began to argue again, some said that the wine in the white wine cup was delicious, and some said that the wine in the flower wine cup was better, but more people thought that the wine in the flower wine cup was better.

After the argument was over, everyone went to the retort mouth to verify it with great interest, and found that the wine that everyone thought was better was burned by the new master Lao Yang Yongkou, and then they knew that the cellar mud used in the cellar pond on Lao Yang's mouth was re-cultivated by many good things such as apples from the new Lao Yang County, and snow pears from Zhaozhou.

Hearing this, for others, it can only be regarded as a novelty. But for Zhang Lianqi, it is more like a dumb person eating a bitter lotus, and he can't say what he is suffering from.

Thinking about it, after spending so much effort and setbacks, not only did he not completely collapse Zhang Shuting, but he also let him find a better master and cook better wine, and he couldn't help but feel even more jealous and hateful.

After everyone finished tasting and verifying at the mouth, it was almost noon, and the banquet was simply opened in the shed. The banquet is a large banquet with eight plates and eight bowls. Everyone also gulped down the freshly brewed wine, and ate the large pieces of meat on the plate or in the bowl, so happy.

Seeing that everyone was eating and drinking happily, Zhang Shuting stood up and spoke again. Zhang Shuting stood up and didn't say anything else, mainly saying that this time he invited everyone to come, set up a banquet, and tasted the newly burned wine from his own mouth, which was a layer of meaning. There is also a more important meaning, which is to let everyone gather in one place to see off the outgoing Governor Wang Qintang.

After everyone listened, some knew that Wang Qintang was leaving, and when Zhang Shuting mentioned it, they stood up one after another, toasted Wang Qintang's wine, and said some auspicious words; If you don't know about this matter, if you know it at this time, you have to toast Wang Qintang's wine, and some even shed tears of regret.

Maybe he felt that he was leaving, although on such an occasion, he was a little unhappy when Zhang Shuting said this, but he also knew that Zhang Shuting was also well-intentioned, so he was not particularly angry, and he reluctantly accepted everyone's heart.

The next day, Wang Qintang set off to return to his hometown in Handan. Everyone went to see them off early in the morning, and they were sent ten miles away. And by inviting everyone to come to the pot to taste the wine this time, the business on the pot of Runquanyong is gradually getting better again.
