Chapter 145: Developing New Wine
Zhong Yihan was a little embarrassed: "There are still some things in the Guogong Mansion, I have to go back, you eat slowly!" ”
He helped Lu Xiyi so much, if he invited him to a meal, he would not want to, Lu Xiyi was very upset.
"Eldest prince, don't you dislike the food in our winery?" Lu Xiyi stepped forward and blocked Zhong Yihan's way, "Why don't I ask Brother Liu to go to Fanlou and ask their cooks to come over and cook us something delicious, what do you think?" ”
Zhong Yihan still wanted to excuse himself, but Lu Xiyi had already strode outside and walked outside: "Brother Liu, the eldest prince is going to eat here tonight, he is from the Guogong Mansion, he must not be used to eating our dishes here, why don't you go to Fanlou and invite a cook to come over and cook a meal for the eldest prince, how about it?" ”
This Lu Xiyi, how can he be serious!
"Brother Liu, no, no! I have to go back, there's something going on in the house. After Zhong Yihan finished speaking, he walked out.
Liu Ji took Lu Xiyi's words seriously, he was also a child of a rich family, and he was looked down upon by Zhong Yihan, so he paid it back. Hurriedly flashed his body and grabbed Zhong Yihan: "Eldest son, you have helped us a lot, if we can't even prepare a good meal for you, we will be too bad!" You, Xiao Lu, and Li Xiao are waiting here, and I'll go back when I go! ”
Zhong Yihan still wanted to explain, but Liu Jiren had already walked out and went straight to Fan Lou. Fan Lou is the best restaurant in the capital, and the chefs there are even better than the cooks in the imperial dining room in the palace. Therefore, it has also become a place frequented by nobles in the capital. When Liu Ji came to the hotel, he told the boss that he wanted to invite a cook back, but the boss naturally refused. The boss thinks that the chefs in the hotel are not enough, how can he ask Liu Ji to go back!
Syllable! Liu Ji pressed a piece of flying money on the table: "Boss, this is five hundred taels of silver flying money, I want it for one night!" ”
Hire a cook for five hundred taels of silver? The boss of Fan Lou was stupid, and looked at Liu Ji in a daze, there are many rich people in the capital, but it is the first time that the boss has seen such a lavish spend.
Liu Ji also took Lu Xiyi's words seriously, thinking that Zhong Yihan really looked down on their dishes, so he was vindictive, so he decided to invite Fanlou's chef over no matter what.
As the saying goes, money can make the ghost grind, these five hundred taels of silver are almost equal to half a day's income of the boss, how can the boss not want to, a serious and gloomy face smiled.
"This son, since you insist on inviting the chef of our hotel over, what am I not happy about!" The boss quickly put the flying money on the table into his sleeve, and walked behind to the kitchen at the back, "Lao Xie, you come out for a ......"
Liu Ji took the chef surnamed Xie to Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, renovated his best dishes, and laid out a table. Although it is only chicken, duck and fish, the chef is the chef, and the dishes he makes are different, which can be described as full of color, flavor and flavor. Lu Xiyi couldn't help but give Liu Ji a thumbs up.
"Eldest prince, this dish should be second only to the banquet in the palace with the wine from my Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, right?" Lu Xiyi is still very confident in the wine he brews.
At this time, if Zhong Yihan is decisive again, he will neither be close to people, nor give Liu Ji and Lu Xiyi face. He smiled: "Okay then, I'll be here with you tonight!" So they sat down, Lu Xiyi, Liu Ji, Li Xiao and others laughed together, they felt that the eldest prince and they had known each other for a long time, and they had long been friends.
"Wait!" A very mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Lu Xiyi's mouth, "I'll be back right away!" ”
She flashed to the workshop, scooped a jug of wine, and then went back outside and placed it on the table.
Zhong Yihan looked at Lu Xiyi's confident and slightly interested expression on his face, smelled the aroma emitted by the wine jug again, and thought for a while: "Shopkeeper Lu, if I guess correctly, what you brought up is a new pot of wine, right?" ”
Lu Xiyi twisted two fingers, and there was a snapping sound, which was really the same as a man: "Eldest son, you are so smart, you even guessed this!" ”
Zhong Yihan smiled, his cold eyes were full of autumn waves, Lu Xiyi thought, with such a pair of good-looking eyes, Zhong Yihan should be particularly handsome.
"I smell from the wine, and you are so proud and confident, and from both counts, I guess you must have something new for us to taste. Tell me, what wine have you made? Zhong Yihan said.
Lu Xiyi didn't say anything first, and poured a cup for Zhong Yihan, Liu Ji, Li Xiao and others. Zhong Yihan picked up the cup, sniffed it confidently to his nose, and suddenly felt that the new wine had a special aroma, this aroma was not too strong, the lover was heartwarming, and it was very familiar, but he couldn't think of what the aroma was.
"How do I feel like I've been to a lotus pond?" Liu Ji frowned, took a sip, and chirped his mouth.
Syllable! Lu Xiyi patted Liu Ji on the shoulder, and Liu Ji, who was in pain, bared his teeth and grinned: "Brother Liu, your nose really looks like a dog, and you smelled it all of a sudden!" This wine is indeed distilled from lotus flowers. ”
Liu Ji hissed, comforted his shoulders, and looked at Lu Xiyi unhappily: "Xiao Lu, the next time you hit me, please tell me in advance!" Is your parable inappropriate? ”
Comparing Liu Ji to a dog is naturally inappropriate, Lu Xiyi lowered his head in shame and bit his lip.
Brewing wine with lotus flowers? Zhong Yihan heard it for the first time, so he was even more curious, so he tasted it again, feeling that this wine was very light, with the fragrance of lotus flowers, and he couldn't drink the wine within ten cups, but it would be intoxicating outside ten cups.
"Shopkeeper Lu, how did you come up with the idea of using lotus flowers to make wine?" Zhong Yihan asked curiously.
Lu Xiyi smiled: "It's just a whim." What do you think, eldest son? ”
Lu Xiyi's daily things are not only wine-making, but also wine-making, and in her spare time, she thinks about how to create new wine, and she develops new wine in three days.
"Yes, light but without losing the taste of wine, it must be the kind of wine that people who live a relatively dull life like. For example, monks, laymen, and nuns. Zhong Yihan couldn't help but take another sip.
Being able to get Zhong Yihan's evaluation, Lu Xiyi is naturally happy in his heart, and it seems that he can vigorously promote it to the guests tomorrow.
The eldest princess lived in the palace for a few days, and every day the emperor came to chat with her, of course, the most talked about was that the eldest princess used to fight for the emperor. On this day, the emperor was delayed by chance and failed to come to see the eldest princess, so the eldest princess took a few maids and maids to wander around the palace, and just walked outside the cellar of the imperial dining room.
I saw a few eunuchs and Gong E going in and out of the cellar, holding a wine jar in their arms, and red paper was pasted on the jar, and the words "Jade Ice Burning" were written. The eldest princess pondered in her heart, I heard that the jade ice roast in the palace was brewed by Lu Xiyi of Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, could it be that these wines? I want to see how good the jade ice roast brewed by Lu Xiyi is!
