Chapter 52: A Good Wine Party
(Thank you for the reward of "leisurely reading", your support is my motivation)
"This wine is a good wine, with a strong agarwood flavor, but it tastes soft and soft, which is a little worse than the wine in my hometown." Xu Chen was ashamed.
Tian Yuma and the eldest princess both looked at Xu Chen with suspicious expressions, if this was said by others, with Tian Yuma's temper, he would have already thrown his face with others, but this is his own relative, and he is already unhappy in his heart, but it is not easy to show it.
Xu Chen's identity is known to these two old men, Xu Chen's family has been poor since he was a child, he can't eat, so he naturally has no money to study, as the saying goes, "poor literature and rich martial arts", but this kid is not the material of a literati, so he accidentally worshiped a ranger master, and then he learned martial arts, of course, this information is also heard, if Xu Chen has not been a literati since he was a child, then how can he make a poem and move the capital?
Outsiders are naturally more mysterious to this horse, human beings always have high hopes for things they don't understand, the more they look at the mystery, the more they can arouse their appetite and arouse interest, and when cooking tea is also a good choice.
The wine brought by the eldest princess is indeed a good wine, this is the treasure of the town building in her restaurant, called Liaoagarwood, this wine pays attention to taste, pays attention to aroma, the entrance is full of aroma, and the mood is refreshing. The restaurant only sells two bottles a month, one bottle is worth a thousand bottles, this wine is only available to the eldest princess, there is nowhere to buy it on the market, ordinary people can't drink it, and it's not something that money can buy, the eldest princess is still very smart in business, otherwise it would be impossible to earn such a big family business over the years.
How rich is the eldest princess's family? There is no way to consider this, although Chang'an is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is conservatively estimated that the Eldest Princess's Mansion can enter the top five on the rich list, what is wealth? Literally both, rich and noble. Xu Chen naturally wants to climb this relationship, the conditions are here, and whoever doesn't use it is a bad pen.
Tian Juma was a little unpleasant, this Xu Juma was out of tune, it was actually bragging, he and he were in the same fate, so he had a natural sense of recognition for Xu Chen, and he dared to defend it, but he didn't expect this kid to be too exaggerated, and he would make ice cubes to eat after a while, and said that the wine in the eldest princess's mansion was not good, so his bank's business was probably nonsense.
As far as you are a martial artist from a poor country, you dare to say that this wine is not as good as your hometown?
"The wine in your hometown is better than mine?" The eldest princess was full of surprise, so that she was not angry at Xu Chen's words.
"My aunt misunderstood, how dare my little nephew speak wildly. The quality of this wine is incomparable, just like me, I have been away from my hometown for many years, so I naturally miss the wine of my hometown, and the wine is full of feelings. For me, my aunt's wine is fragrant, but it lacks strength, and it is not perfect. Xu Chen said.
This is the first time someone said that the shortcomings of this wine, this field horse prefers to drink this wine, the old man, the preaching ability is relatively strong, at the moment he can't hold back, said: "Do you have the wine of your hometown?" Take it and taste it, I want to see how delicious the wine Xu Xiaonephew said, it is even better than this agarwood. ”
"The little nephew has been away from home for many years and has been wandering outside, and the wine in his hometown is naturally not qualified to drink, but the little nephew has learned the wine-making technique, since my uncle is interested, then how about I make a cup for my uncle?" Xu Chen said.
Brewing a cup? Tian Juma was startled, he naturally knew that the process was very complicated, and he couldn't brew it for a while.
"I can use this agarwood as the mother wine, and I can brew it on this dinner table, just need a stick of incense." Xu Chen said with a smile.
Tian Yuma had an expression of "oh, that's it", the eldest princess was interested, this was the first time she heard that cooked wine could still be used as mother wine, and the time could be so short, so she wanted to see what Xu Chen had to do, so she ordered her subordinates to come and prepare things according to Xu Chen's needs.
Li Ye just watched from the side, and couldn't find a topic to talk about for a long time, so he ate by himself, Li was definitely not surprised by the liquor Xu Chen said, since his brother-in-law dared to say it, he would definitely be able to make it, he usually adjusted it, and he didn't admit it to himself, but now he is acting like it, how can it be ashamed?
The man quickly found what Xu Chen wanted, a small stove, a small pot, a water bag, and a long and thin bamboo leaf.
It's all simple little things, these two people can't figure out what Xu Chen is going to do, so they don't speak, waiting for Xu Chen's next step, although Tian Juma is full of suspicion about Xu Chen, but this kid really dares to do it, so he can't help but believe that this colt has some ability, otherwise he wouldn't deliberately embarrass in front of the two of them.
Xu Chen placed the small stove for decoction on the stone fence of the pavilion, put water in the small pot, and then directly squatted the wine jug in the small pot and tied the water bag to the spout of the wine jug.
Turn on the fire, it will burn, and after the water boils, Xu Chen will hold the bowl, insert the bamboo leaves on the spout, and put the tail in the bowl.
This is an extremely simple distillation method, this distillation chemistry experiment was done many times in middle school, and now the conditions are not good, there is no professional equipment, if you can invent glassware, it is easy to do, but this kind of distillation is indeed a bit wasteful.
In ancient times, the degree of alcohol was very low, the purity of alcohol was not high, like Wu Song, the amount of wine in three bowls was actually average, the alcohol degree in the Tang Dynasty was even lower, and the folk wine was like crude products such as liquor, and a jar was fine, lower than the degree of beer, and the high-grade wine, like this agarwood, was only a dozen degrees, and it was really boring.
The distillation method only existed in the Yuan Dynasty, so it is relatively simple to extract alcohol, and the chemical theory is that the boiling point of alcohol is low, but it is estimated that a bottle of alcohol can not be made with a shoddy production like Xu Chen.
A few people just looked at it inexplicably, such a way of putting wine has indeed never been seen, Tian Juma looked at the alcohol in the bowl dripping from the bamboo leaves, and didn't feel a pity, I let you burn this pot of good wine, so I made it so little. It hurts in my heart.
Steaming this thing needs to grasp the time, don't run out of alcohol for a while, bring out the water vapor together, and it will be in vain.
Seeing that he had made half a bowl of alcohol, Xu Chen thought that it was almost the same, so he came late and asked, and he was more satisfied, the alcohol taste of good wine is pure and fragrant.
"Alright, this wine is done." Xu Chen took half a bowl of alcohol and returned to the table.
"This pot, just make this half bowl." Tian Horse looks like you are pit on me, and I can't wait to eat people.
"What are you anxious about, old man, you listen to your little nephew first." The eldest princess glared at Tian and said.
"Ah, this, this bowl is alcohol, the absolute essence of that pot, the little nephew will give my uncle a taste, how about I make it."
As Xu Chen spoke, he found three wine cups and poured different amounts of alcohol into them. Then open the newly brought agarwood and fill the wine cup one by one.
Xu Chen picked up the cup with the least alcohol and handed it to the eldest princess, and gave the remaining two cups to Tian Yuma.
"Uncle, this glass is a medium wine. You taste it. ”
Tian Juma looked at the wine handed over suspiciously, and then looked at the eldest princess who had already picked up the wine cup and wanted to drink, so he put it to his mouth and took a sip, this sip was not much, but Xu Chen could feel that Tian Juma's eyes had lit up, and his expression was particularly exaggerated, and he actually drank it in one go.
The two old men let out an "ah" almost at the same time, although the eldest princess had not finished drinking in the wine cup, her cheeks were rosy, and Tian Juma was already red to her neck at the moment, and she was choking.
