Chapter 423 Preparation
When they arrived at the old mansion, everyone was waiting for her, wanting to know what the Queen Mother had told her, and if there was anything, everyone should work together to find a countermeasure.
"You're back, is it going well?"
The second grandmother hurriedly asked when she saw someone.
"Grandmother, don't worry, the Queen Mother is very kind and kind, and told me a thing, the prince and the envoys of the Great Food Country are going to come to the audience, there is a fight for incense, the emperor and the Queen Mother want me to go to the battle, and promised to let me prepare incense and medicinal materials by myself."
"Oh, forget about it, so what are you going to do, there's only a month left, is it too late?"
"In time, I specially asked to prepare my own spices, because I have stock, and there are a few incense products that have never been missed in front of outsiders, and I plan to use them. Then prepare some flower dew and fragrant wine. ”
"Well, that's pretty much it, it's mainly Douxiang. But you have to be prepared, you can't sweep the face of the prince of the Great Food Country, and you can't embarrass the emperor's face, this degree is difficult to master. ”
The third grandfather groaned and spoke.
"Yes, that's what the Queen Mother reminded me of as well."
"In this case, whatever you need to be prepared by the family, drinks and spices can be prepared for you."
"Okay."
After some discussion, everyone asked Zilan to prepare by herself, after all, they didn't understand these things.
Cui Hao saw that everything was properly discussed, and specially told her, "If you need anything at home, tell me, and I'll prepare it for you." ”
"Okay, I have most of the things, don't worry, I'll be in control, it's just that there are wins and losses, my little girl can't do well and someone will make up for me later, the emperor has a number in his heart."
"Well, that's right, then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you in two days."
"Okay."
Zilan took the task and began to think about what she needed to prepare, the time was only one month, but there were a lot of things to do, and she had to strive to come up with good incense products to choose from.
Flower Dew also needs a few different flavors, and she thinks that the fragrance powder can be used as an alternative, and there is a men's fragrance powder that has not been made yet, so she can try it this time.
After thinking about it repeatedly, I had a plan in mind, and I began to think about these things.
Basically, they are soaked in the incense room to study, there must be a few incense products, a few must be selected for the richer layers, there must be a few more fragrant and elegant ones, and there must be a few more flower dew.
There is also fragrant wine, after she used the first batch of spiritual rice to make spiritual wine, she wanted to try to make fragrant wine, so she chose several kinds of fragrant wine to make a small wooden barrel of ten catties for storage, and it also takes time to cellar the fragrant wine to be mellow.
After a long time in the warehouse, I forgot about the busyness, which has been more than 200 years, and it should taste enough.
There is also a newly brewed flower wine, which is also a new product, I believe it should be good to take it out later, she chose the ordinary flowers in the space, and the peach blossom drunk was so experimented.
There is also chrysanthemum wine, and the flower wine made from roses, which was originally planned to be studied, and a new product will be produced for Xianglou in the future, and now you can try it.
Fill a few fragrant wines into a two-pound small wine jar, take them out and give them back to my father and mother to taste, and see what their evaluation is.
These fragrant wines are made with spirit wine, and the time is very long, and it is not sure that it will be good, and the taste of spices and herbs may be bitter if it is soaked for too long, and it may not be possible that the longer the better, if this is the case, it needs to be mixed with other wines.
Of course, she doesn't use alcohol, but blends it with other spirit wines to dilute the bitter taste of Chinese medicine.
The flower wine time does not need to be so long, the wine has been in the space for a few years, it should be enough, and I also took two jars out for everyone to taste, and I need the big guy to give a pertinent evaluation and advice.
The rest is to make flower dew, she chose a few ordinary flower dew, and made a few spirit flower dew, which are often made, and it is not difficult to arrive.
In the afternoon, Song Zhengtian and his uncles returned from the ministry.
"Dad, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, you are back, you have wine to drink today."
Zilan greeted them with a smile and a smile.
"Oh, I heard, the emperor ordered you to face the prince of the Great Food Country, I heard that he is a master of perfumery, can you do it?"
Song Zhengtian changed his clothes and came out to speak.
"I'm not afraid of Douxiang, I'm just worried that the things I shot are not good enough, and it will be worse if I am compared."
"What wine did you give us to drink, and what do you want?"
Song Zhengtian knew that his daughter would not give them her good wine for nothing, and they had tasted the wine produced by Xianglou and the winery in advance, and they all drank it until they vomited.
"Fragrant wine, it's been stored for a long time, I forgot it, you give me an opinion."
"Okay."
Saying that, it was time to eat, Zilan chose two fragrant wines for everyone to taste, and prepared white water for them to rinse their mouths, otherwise they would not be able to taste the quality of the fragrant wine in detail.
The fourth uncle has always liked fragrant wine, he tasted the first one first, and his expression was not very good after drinking.
Zilan chuckled in her heart, is it really too long.
"The cellar time is too long, and the medicinal smell is a little too strong, which is very good with me, but I'm not sure if the prince will feel good. But in terms of wine, it is an excellent thing, the stamina is very good, mellow and fragrant, but the first sip of a medicinal smell, it is indeed a bit rushed. ”
"Sure enough, it's been too long, I forgot about it."
Zilan sighed in annoyance.
After the fourth uncle rinsed his mouth, he tasted the second fragrant wine, and after drinking, he raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up, "Well, this is good, the taste of the flowers is not strong or light, but it is soft and long, it is delicious, and it is full of fragrance after drinking, this is good." ”
"Oh, this one has flower dew and flower infiltration in it, but there are fewer herbs and more spices. On the health value is not as good as the first paragraph. ”
The taste of traditional Chinese medicine is strong, so the medicinal value is also very high, very good for the body, but the taste is not very good, the second one is good to drink, but the health care value is not high.
"I think if it's a fight, it's better to choose the second one, is it worth health care, it's easy to be ignored in the incense fight, and the taste is the first thing."
The fourth uncle gave his own advice after thinking about it.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
Zilan made a note in the notebook.
For a few days, Lan asked her uncles and brothers to taste the taste of fragrant wine for her, and gave her a little advice, and everyone said their own suggestions and ideas, and after summarizing, she chose three fragrant wines, which were the most praised by the big guys.
That medicinal wine was eliminated after all, because the cellar time was too long, the medicinal effect was well infiltrated, and the effect was not good after blending, and it lost the mellow fragrance of the stamina, or the medicinal taste was still very strong, and the time was too short to remake it and had to give up.
In the end, the jar of wine was cheaper for my father and uncles, and I took it and drank it.
A few kinds of toilet water, let the sisters and maids taste them separately, and they also counted three, which are the three most liked by everyone after the blind selection.
There are also two incense products, and the last one is incense powder, a total of three.
