Zhong Yihan stretched out his fingers, serious and serious: "Do you need to pull the hook?" ”

So, the two fingers hooked together: "Hang yourself on the hook, you can't change for a hundred years!" ”

Suddenly, Zhong Yihan noticed that Lu Xiyi looked at him very wrongly, and he was a little flustered: "Shopkeeper Lu, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Lu Xiyi let out an "oh" in his throat, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, without squeaking, moved a few sticks of firewood and threw them into the stove to burn, and then used a strip to pass the fire. Why does she feel more and more that the eldest prince is so similar to Ah Leng? Was it just her delusion?

Zhong Yihan looked at Lu Xiyi's back, exquisite and beautiful, and couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility in his heart. If the eldest princess really wants to deal with the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, he will definitely protect it with all his might.

Tuk tuk!

There was a knock on the door, breaking the calm atmosphere between the two. turned their heads to see together, and it turned out to be Liu Ji.

"What's wrong, Brother Liu?" What Lu Xiyi is most afraid of is Liu Ji's mouth, talking nonsense, so that she doesn't even have the reserve of a woman.

Liu Ji saw the panic and discomfort on Lu Xiyi's face, and originally wanted to make a joke between her and Zhong Yihan, so forget it: "Hurry up and go outside, someone is in the palace!" ”

Hearing the head of the palace, Zhong Yihan and Lu Xiyi's hearts chuckled, which made them think of the eldest princess. Could it be that the revenge of the eldest princess is coming?

Lu Xiyi came outside nervously, it was Gonggong Kun! With two little eunuchs, he stood outside the door, meaning to ask Lu Xiyi to invite him in.

Zhong Yihan gave Lu Xiyi a hint of his eyes, Lu Xiyi understood, hurriedly walked out of the door, and bowed to Gonggong Kun: "Little girl Lu Xiyi to meet Gonggong Kun!" ”

Gonggong Kun suddenly saw Zhong Yihan wearing a mask, he was stunned for a moment, the muscles at the corner of his mouth twitched, and he didn't smile: "I've seen the eldest prince of Zhenguo!" ”

Zhong Yihan just nodded slightly and did not speak. Gonggong Kun ignored Lu Xiyi, and Zhong Yihan was angry.

Gonggong Kun coughed twice and looked at Lu Xiyi: "You listen to me, the emperor has an edict, ask you if there are other varieties of wine in the wine shop besides Yubing Yao?" ”

"Recently, I have developed a new liquor called Hewei Liquor, I don't know if the emperor likes it or not." Lu Xiyi glanced at Zhong Yihan, she was still quite confident in Hewei wine, because even Zhong Yihan said that there was no reason why this wine was bad. In her opinion, Zhong Yihan's taste is the most tricky.

"Oh?" Gonggong Kun narrowed his eyes, his eyes seemed to be a little disbelieving, and swept away the dust, "Give me a taste first, see if it's good, and then send it to the palace." ”

Lu Xiyi cleaned a wine jug, scooped out a spoonful of Hewei wine in the pot with a wine spoon, put it into the wine jug, and then poured it into a glass pot and handed it to Gonggong Kun: "Father-in-law, please taste it." ”

Gonggong Kun hummed in his throat, took Lu Xiyi's wine cup with one hand, first stretched out his tongue and licked it, hiss! gasped, slammed his mouth, and then took a sip. I saw that his expression was indescribably comfortable, his eyes lit up, and he drank the rest again.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Kun?" Lu Xiyi couldn't wait to know what it was like to taste this wine to others.

Gonggong Kun couldn't help but admire Lu Xiyi in his heart. This little woman, don't look at her young age, has such attainments in winemaking. I originally thought that the jade ice roast was just a good wine made by her mistake, but I just drank this flavored wine, which is really delicious, compared to her jade ice roast, it is between the two and the middle. A few days ago, my country's brewing master Mr. Lu just went, and now there is this Lu Xiyi behind him, and he is not afraid that there will be no successor to the wine-making business.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say anything in my mouth. His face was still tense, as if he was dissatisfied with Lu Xiyi, coughed twice without anything, and put the wine cup on the table: "It's okay, I think the emperor will like it." It was very understated, as if Lu Xiyi's wine made him feel unsatisfied, "By the way, the emperor likes to try it the most, I heard that in addition to Yubing Roasted Wine, you also have a kind of ...... called Yuyu."

"It's a pre-rain drink!" Lu Xiyi blurted out.

"Yes, yes, yes! It was this wine before the rain, and it was also brewed for the emperor 500 catties, and the three kinds of wine totaled 1,500 catties, and I came to get it three days later. After Gonggong Kun finished speaking, he gave Zhong Yihan a polite salute, and then took the two young eunuchs and left the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop.

Within three days, it will cost 1,500 catties! It's not that Lu Xiyi can't brew so much, but he feels that the task is too heavy and urgent.

Liu Ji scratched his head with a bitter expression: "One thousand five hundred catties in three days, this is my life!" I guess I don't want to sleep! "That being said, who dares not to listen to the emperor's command!

"What does the emperor want so much wine for at once?" Li Xiao pinched her chin, "Is there a state banquet to entertain foreign guests from all over the world?" ”

Zhong Yihan looked at Lu Xiyi with concern, as if he was asking if there was a problem?

Lu Xiyi's eyebrows were entangled, she sat down slowly, and scratched her hair: "It's a big deal that I won't sleep for the last night, it's okay to say, it's just that the water I brew is all drawn from the bottom of the well." It is probably because the people in the capital take a lot of water, and the groundwater is limited, and now the water taken from the bottom of the well is turbid. If you use this water to make sake, the taste of the sake will be affected. ”

Zhong Yihan, Liu Ji, Li Xiao and others fell into thought.

"What about you?" After a while, Li Xiao said.

Lu Xiyi shook his head, which was the best answer to Li Xiao. The river water has more impurities, and the boiling water is turbid, so it is okay to use it to make village moromi, but if it is used to make high-grade sake, it is not good. If the emperor really wants to hold a state banquet, how can he use river water to make wine?

Zhong Yihan asked, "Shopkeeper Lu, as far as you know, what kind of water brew is good?" ”

This brought to what Lu Xiyi was proud of, her eyes were bright, she scratched her nose, and there was a hint of pride between her pursed lips: "The water used for brewing wine is similar to the water used for making tea, and there are few impurities." In general, the river water is not as good as the well water, the well water is not as good as the mountain spring, the mountain spring is not as good as the heavenly water, and the heavenly water is not as good as the snow water. Snow water is the best. ”

Tianshui naturally refers to the water that falls from the sky, that is, rain. The rain in summer is not as good as the rain in spring, the rain in spring is not as good as the rain in autumn, and the rain in autumn is not as good as the rain in winter.

Li Xiao was in trouble: "It's the turn of spring and summer, where can I get snow water?" ”

Liu Ji was next to the back of the chair, his knuckles knocked on the table, could it be that he had become a brewer of jade ice roast, hewei wine, and pre-rain wine, and he had to go to the far north to get snow? Don't say that the time won't come in time, it's just that if there is snow there, it is still unknown.

"I've heard of a place where snow accumulates all year round, and maybe we can go there to get water." Zhong Yihan's words attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's question was the same: Where is that place?

Zhong Yihan said: "Sixty miles away from here, there is a high mountain, and the mountain is covered with snow all year round......

Before Zhong Yihan's words were finished, Lu Xiyi clapped his hands and jumped: "Without further ado, let's go there to get water now!" ”
