Chapter 398: Mysterious Wine Soul
I even told the ingredients for sake brewing, but I haven't even figured out the mystery, which makes me a little depressed.
"Qingyue, the wine tasting method you learned in Yihong Academy back then, is it good or not?" I couldn't help but ask Yun Qingyue in my heart.
"I've been tasting wine since I was three years old, and although I'm not a master, as long as it's a popular wine on the market, I know the origin, characteristics, brewing materials, etc., almost as soon as I taste it, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
Yun Qingyue said.
"But the old bastard said there was a mystery in this wine, what could be the mystery of this thing? Can you taste it? I asked Yun Qingyue a little anxiously.
Hearing my words, Yun Qingyue said helplessly: "I really haven't tasted this mystery, the water used in this wine should be mountain spring water, so there is a hint of coolness in the softness, this is all I can taste." ”
"Then let me tell you about it." After I finished talking to Yun Qingyue, I couldn't help but open my eyes, smiled slightly, looked at Chi Qingshuai, and then faced everyone: "Hehe, everyone has heard it, Master Chi said that there is a secret hidden in this wine." I don't know if the big guy has seen through this mystery, but I did. ”
"What's the mystery? Let's talk about it! When everyone heard my words, they couldn't help but get excited, and their eyes lit up one by one, and their expressions were a little weird.
Chi Qingshuai also frowned at me at this time, as if he didn't believe my words.
I frowned and groaned for a while, feeling that I couldn't talk full, so I immediately held the wine glass and said: "This, let's talk about the water used in this wine first, if I guess correctly, the water used in this wine is clear and sweet mountain spring water, so although this wine is soft and mellow, but soft with a trace of coolness, hehe, in this way, this wine has a great benefit, do you know what it is?" ”
"What is it?" The spectators exclaimed curiously.
"Warm wine is not on the head, this is the benefit of this wine, hehe, so, when you drink this wine, you can rest assured that the big bowl is dry, haha, Master Chi, am I right?" I glanced at Chi Qingshuai and asked.
"Yes, yes," Chi Qingshuai looked at me with a little disappointment and said, "But it's just a surface, and the soul of the wine is not there, what is wine tasting?" ”
I'm really depressed now, what does this old boy want to do? What the hell does he want me to taste from this wine?
What about the soul of wine, wine is something used to drink, where does the soul come from? It's just = chicken = = egg!
"Wait a minute, he's giving you a hint, don't worry, let me think about it," Hearing Chi Qingshuai's words, Yun Qingyue suddenly stopped me.
"What do you want to think?" I asked, somewhat curious.
"Do you know the origin of Huadiao wine?" Yun Qingyue asked me.
"Girl, I haven't been in Yihong Courtyard, and I haven't received special training in wine tasting, you ask me this question, do you think I can answer it?" I said depressedly.
"Then I'll tell you," Yun Qingyue muttered, "Huadiao wine is produced in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. There is a very vivid story about this wine. It is said that in ancient times, there was a family whose daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and the husband brewed some wine in advance to celebrate and prepare for the birth of the child to entertain the guests. As a result, when the child was born, it was a girl, and the man was a little angry, and in a fit of rage, he buried the wine in the ground. Later, eighteen years passed, the daughter grew up, married, the man remembered the wine that was buried at the beginning, so he dug out the wine again, it is said that the fragrance of the open altar wine floated for ten miles, and it was smelled far and near, and the daughter's red wine became an instant hit. Since then, it has been popular to brew daughter red wine in Zhejiang, and later there was Zhuangyuan Red, as the name suggests, after giving birth to a son, bury the wine, and wait until the son is the champion, and then dig it out and use it. Daughter Red and Champion Red are both aliases for Huadiao wine, but they have nothing to do with the word Huadiao, do you know what's going on? ”
"What's going on?" I wondered.
"Flower carving, originally means withering flowers and leaves, called flower withering, which means that children die early, like flowers and leaves withering, which is actually a very sad name." Yun Qingyue explained.
"I understand, the survival rate of children in ancient times was relatively low, and many children died halfway, so this wine later got such a name, right?" I asked.
"Huadiao wine is used at the child's funeral, at first it was called Huadiao, and later because it was too sad, it was changed to Huadiao wine. Neither Daughter Red nor Champion Red became the official name of this wine, but instead the flower withered became the official name, through which you can imagine how low the survival rate of children in ancient times was. To put it bluntly, at that time, there may have been many children, but very few could actually grow up. Yun Qingyue said in a solemn tone.
Hearing this, my heart unconsciously sank a little, and then at this time, I subconsciously took another sip of wine, and after tasting it, my heart lit up unconsciously, and I suddenly realized it in an instant.
"Haha, Qingyue, you are really the best talented woman in the world, I know what the mystery in this wine is!"
At that moment, I finished talking to Yun Qingyue excitedly, and without waiting for her to answer, I took the wine glass and drank the wine in one go, and then I smashed the wine glass, and then I wiped my mouth, stepped forward, and glanced at Chi Qingshuai while facing everyone: "Master Chi is right, this wine does have a soul!" ”
"Wine has a soul?"
Hearing my words, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
"The big guys are all locals, so they should know what the original name of Huadiao wine is, and they should also know why this wine got its name. Flower carving, flower and leaf withering, in ancient times, children died a lot, so the official name of this wine is not daughter red nor champion red, but called flower withering, because the pain is more unforgettable, every parent really loves their children, once lost, it will hurt for a lifetime. This is the soul of Huadiao wine, because it is full of sadness and tears. When I said this, I looked at Chi Qingshuai and found that he was nodding slightly, which means that I was right.
"Of course, the wine soul of Huadiao wine is only a part, what I want to talk about now is the wine soul of this jar of wine we are drinking," I frowned, and looked at everyone: "The wine soul of this wine, if I say it, it may cause everyone's discomfort, but since Master Chi gave me this topic, then I have to talk about it." This is indeed a withered wine, to be exact, it is a green withered wine, because it was a boy who died early, if I am not mistaken, the child was not born at all, but was stillborn, and it was a corpse with two lives, so if this wine is tasted carefully, there will be sadness, there will be pain, and more importantly, it carries a deep resentment and blood. I would like to give you a suggestion, everyone who has drunk this wine tonight, after going back, when they go to bed, put a broom next to the bed, otherwise, it may invite nightmares, and even more serious, maybe it will, it will lead the ghost to the body. ”
