Chapter 171: Heidu Wine

Before the words fell, the curved neck inlaid with silver gilt wine jug fell first. The aroma of the wine is sweet and lush, thick and translucent like glue ink, with a clear color, and it is beautiful in the jade-like sweet white glaze.

Shen Yuan had never seen such a wine, so he had to ask first, "What is this?" Colors are rare. "Taste soft and mellow, sweet but not greasy, with the finger softness of the Jiangnan water town.

Yin Huai'an said: "This is called Heidu wine, which is often drunk in the south." When you came to the capital, you were still young, and Mrs. Moyu didn't allow you to drink if she wanted to, no wonder she didn't recognize it. ”

"I also think this should be something from the south. It should be the best refined white glutinous rice......" Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, smacking the taste carefully, and distinguishing the brewing method.

"Should I still use raw wheat mallet? When I tasted it, I had to add cooked glutinous rice repeatedly, pour new koji, mix well, and spread it out. There's a little burnt aroma in the aftertaste, I can't figure it out, what's going on? ”

Regarding winemaking, Shen Yuan only learned how to make a good osmanthus brew. The Moyu family focuses on this, and their hearts have been passed down for more than ten generations, and they have been exerted to the fullest, and the tricks in it are one by one, and they only need to think about it thoroughly, which is enough to study other jade liquid elixir.

She tried to draw inferences from one another, and figured out seven or eight out of ten of this black Du wine, leaving the most critical place, but she couldn't guess it anyway.

The woman's contemplative appearance is very good-looking, her crow wings are half-hanging, and her eyes are subtle, like the cute doll in the school that is four or five years old and has just opened her mind. Yin Huai'an is like a pedant in the seat, when he is asked by the students, it is not a very profound question, but he must pretend to be a deep one.

"The wonder is in this scorched aroma," the owner of the village bent his eyebrows mysteriously, "You use fine white glutinous rice to taste, and after adding koji, you have to use raw rice to fry the color, make it into black rice juice, mix it into wine, and ferment it together." ”

"I see, that's ......" Shen Yuan suddenly realized, and he was also amazed, "Such a good mind, strange Dao can enter the eyes of you, a merry and talented man." ”

"Huh? Good intentions don't stop there. Yin Huai'an poured the wine cup slightly, and a thin layer of warm sunlight sprinkled on the surface of the ink-colored wine, intertwining and changing into a strange brilliance. Shen Yuan's attention was attracted to him, urging him to speak quickly, and Fang listened to him say slowly: "It's nothing." When the new wine is first brewed, when the altar is opened, add indica rice and stir-fry the juice, and it is completely completed. ”

The owner of the village from the state talked about the method of winemaking, and listened to the praise of the girl of the Shen family in his ears, but he had slowly sorted out the old things in his heart.

Their first meeting was also on a winter day, and the memories were like aging in the cellar, which lasted for a long time.

The light snow in the eleventh year of Qiren, the weather was extremely cold, and the mountains were covered with thick silver white, Yin Huai'an took a pair of posts, specially purchased a flower vase, and prepared a beautiful and pleasing cherry dumpling and plum blossom cake. The fifteen-year-old girl, dressed in a bright spring plum red and combed a graceful green bun, broke into his sight irresistibly.

She was born with a small face, followed behind the majestic General Shen, obedient and clever, without saying a word, and occasionally sneaked a glance over, like a Jiao'e daughter who was full of thirteen cardamom.

What kind of ins and outs the Shen family brothers and sisters are, the son of the Yin family knows, and he is sincerely happy for the reunion of the children of the old club. Everyone can see that Shen Han treats this sister very well, almost as a pearl in the palm of his hand, as if he wants to make up for the deceased old General Shen.

Yin Huai'an was originally a master of the rivers and lakes, and he didn't care about the world's prejudices about the Qinglou woman, and he also had a deep relationship between the Shen and Yin families, and the three of them had a natural closeness. The girl of the Shen family has a beautiful appearance, not like a person who is close to her, but he can see at a glance that it is not difficult to get a glimpse of her gentleness and enthusiasm as long as he contacts it with a sincere heart.

exchanged their names with each other, met each other, had Shen Han in the middle, and a few words of greeting had made friendship. After three rounds of drinking, Yin Huai'an and Shen Han talked and fisted, talking about men's idle things, and the girl's family didn't like to listen, so she was invited to the warm pavilion inside to use snacks and called a few little girls to wait.

She seemed to enjoy the cherry gluttony that day. The ripe fruit in summer is full and deep red like pearls, boiled into sauce cheese, buried deep in clay pots, and used in autumn and winter. The glutinous flour skin is half-melted and snow-like, the filling is looming, sweet and slightly sour, and the chef of the village has added fried broken hazelnut kernels with ingenuity, which is sweet and fragrant.

Since then, every winter when she comes, the kitchen of the mountain villa will inevitably waft with the smell of gluttony. There will be no shortage of one in Sheng Qiuxiao, but this Zhuangzi is very big, and no matter how good the food box is, it always feels that the soft ironing that has just been put off the stove is missing.

In the upper canal of the Moti hall is living water, in which a round of Kongming car with a height of the whole person is placed, and two strings of small orchid bells are hung in the center, babbling and dingdong, which is not only a meal, but also a view. There is also this flavor of Heidu wine, which tastes sweet and mellow, is not easy to get drunk, and soothes the muscles and strengthens the spleen, regulates qi and invigorates blood, which is very good for people who have been sick for a long time.

It's a pity that Sheng Qiuxiao followed Leng Xiang Oiran and was already an uninvited guest, as cautious as she was, and would rather fall into a stubborn and withdrawn impression than disturb other people's drinking and talking.

The courtyard that Yin Huai'an left for Shen Yuan was spacious enough, and she lived in the warm pavilion of the right room, and Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud did not have to wait in the hugging house, they could live in a short room, or even sleep directly outside the warm pavilion. There are people in the villa who have been called to serve the young lady, and if Shen Yuan is there, they will be placed in the side room; More often than not, there is no owner in this courtyard, and these people naturally return to their original positions.

For Sheng Qiuxiao, she did the same and arranged for the master and servant to live on the other side. In front of the small pavilion master, Qiu Xiao was lowered a level first, and Xiao Ju became an uninvited guest among the uninvited guests. Shen Yuan didn't care, but the two of them were apprehensive, so they simply lived in the same room.

Seeing off the foreman in the front yard, Qiu Xiao kept watching the person's back disappear outside the courtyard gate before turning around and going back to the back room. Xiao Ju had already washed her hands, opened a three-layer thin beam food box, and was putting food on the kang table.

There are a variety of dishes, and a table is full. Among them, a cup of soup bath embroidery balls, chicken and fish minced finely, stuffed with minced cooked chicken, fish maw, ginseng grains, the color is bright and bright, and the broth is clear and flavorful; The red lotus fragrant rice next to it is steamed, and the fragrance is overflowing. Then next to a small dish of crispy crystal tart, cut thin slices with a quick knife, point in five spice vinegar, mix ginger shredded bamboo shoots, sour and appetizing, soft and smooth.

The steamed plum fish is tender and soft, delicate and sweet, it is a treasure on the seaside, and now at this time, there are few people in the capital who can put it on the table. When Qiu Xiao saw it, his heart suddenly churned with a different kind of touch, and his cognition of this state came to the mountain villa to make new progress.

Originally, she thought that Zuo was just a cold incense oiran who moved the capital, and it was not surprising that there was such an admirer who fell under the pomegranate skirt, but if it was really that simple, there was no need to treat him so solemnly in the face of a vassal red man.
