Chapter 235: Wine Tasting
The knock on the door kept ringing, and the drunken chef Wu was thinking that the person knocking on the door outside knocked on it, and when he saw that no one answered, he left, but he didn't want the person outside the door to be persistent, and kept knocking on his door.
"Grandma Sun, it's still no one." After knocking for a while, no one opened the door, and the subordinate withdrew his hand and looked at Yunzhu.
"Go on." I thought that Yunzhu would say stop, but I didn't want to hear the order to continue, so the subordinate had to answer and continue to knock on the door.
Only this time, he knocked a little harder than before.
Hearing the knock on the door getting louder and louder, the drunken chef Wu couldn't help but scold, stood up again, staggered out of the house, and walked towards the gate.
"Who's knocking on the door without stopping...... No one is home! When he arrived at the door, the drunken chef Wu opened his mouth angrily, put his hand on the deadbolt, but had no intention of opening the door.
"Is it the home of Drunken Chef Wu?" Hearing the voice, Yunzhu motioned for his subordinates to stop, and he stepped forward and asked the people who were talking in the courtyard.
Hearing someone shouting his nickname, Drunken Chef Wu raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?" What are you knocking on my door for? ”
is still a little drunk, so the drunken chef Wu spoke very politely, but Yunzhu didn't care, who let the other party be a drunk?
"If you are drunk, I will have something to do with you, if you are not, or dare not admit it, then I will not say it."
Standing outside the door, Yun Zhu spoke again, and Wu Wu, the drunken chef in the courtyard, listened to it, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Joke, when did I dare not admit it? I'm the drunken chef Wu, what's the matter? ”
The original drunken chef Wu was not a competitive person, but now he is still drunk, and in this situation, it is naturally different from usual.
"Since you're a drunken chef Wu, why don't you dare to open the door? You're still weak-hearted. ”
Hearing the drunken chef Wu admit that Yun Zhu spoke again, she did it on purpose, she knew that when facing a drunk person, she couldn't treat it according to the usual way of doing things.
Yun Zhu's method was very correct, and as soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open, and the drunken chef Wu appeared in front of Yun Zhu and the others.
After taking a few steps forward, Drunken Chef Wu looked at Yun Zhu, and doubts flashed in his eyes, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you? ”
"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen me, I wonder if you've heard of Piaoxiangju?"
Smiling and speaking, Yun Zhu looked at the drunken chef Wu and asked.
"Piaoxiangju? Naturally, I know that I have also eaten the ingot pot! The taste is really good, but unfortunately, there is no good wine. ”
After listening to Yunzhu, Drunken Chef Wu immediately opened his mouth to answer, but in the end, there was a trace of regret in his words.
Drunken Chef Wu said this, which made the smile on Yunzhu's face deeper, no wonder this person was called Drunken Chef Wu, and he really couldn't talk without wine.
"What did you come to me for?" Looking at Yunzhu, the drunken chef Wu leaned against the door and asked her what she was coming from.
"Don't you think it's rude to talk right at the door? It is a good thing that I have come to you, but if you invite me in, will you see behind me? And the good wine that the men have in their hands will be given to you. ”
Seeing that the drunken chef Wu asked herself again, Yunzhu turned around and pointed to the wine in the hands of the people, she knew that using wine as bait, the drunken chef Wu would definitely not disagree.
"Hmm, really?" Sure enough, after saying that, Drunken Chef Wu's face immediately flashed with strong interest, and it seemed that he was really fascinated by wine.
"Naturally, take it seriously." Nodding, Yunzhu looked at the drunken chef Wu. "What? Why don't you invite me in? ”
"Please, please come in!" Hurriedly spoke, the drunken chef Wu let the door out of the way, let Yunzhu and the others enter the courtyard, he closed the courtyard door, and staggered into the house.
Yunzhu originally thought that a single man who was addicted to alcohol should have a very messy home, but he didn't want to enter the house, although it was filled with the smell of alcohol, it was not dirty.
Nodding secretly in his heart, Yun Zhu felt that it would be good if he could really say that he could move the drunken chef Wu to his own guests.
"Feel free to sit, I'm a little messy in this house, don't worry too much." After speaking, the drunken chef Wu staggered with the basin and walked towards the door.
Looking at the drunken chef Wu's appearance, as if he was going to wash up, Yunzhu found a place to do it and looked into the house.
It seems that the drunken chef Wu should have some family background, she originally thought that this drunken chef Wu loves wine so much, and the family must be in bad conditions because of his drinking.
But looking at the furnishings in the house, there are a lot of things that you can see that they are very valuable.
Presumably, it was the ancestors of the drunken chef Wu who left it, after all, the ancestors were cooks for generations, and he himself worshipped the imperial chef as a teacher, if he didn't continue a little, how could the imperial chef accept him as an apprentice?
When Yun Zhu was pondering in his heart, the drunken chef Wu came back with a basin of water, and looking at his appearance, he was a lot more sober.
"You sit down, I'll make tea." Because he was much sober, the drunken chef Wu spoke a lot more clearly.
He was going to make tea, and Yunzhu didn't stop him, anyway, it would take some time to talk, so it would be good to make some tea.
"Young Grandma Sun, will this drunken chef Wu agree to come to our guest to come to Xiangxiang?"
It takes a while to boil water, Steward He looked at Yunzhu and asked.
"Just try it, I estimate that ** is not far from ten."
Smiling and speaking, Yun Zhu is actually still very confident, after all, he has wine in his hands that he may not be able to buy even if he has money.
After sitting in the room for a while, the drunken chef Wu finally came back, there was a tea set in the house, and the drunken chef Wu made the tea and put it on the table.
"I was a little rude just now, and I ask Mrs. not to be surprised." After boiling the water, the drunken chef Wu became more and more sober, he saluted Yunzhu, and said sorry.
"It's okay, Wu Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart." Waving his hand, Yun Zhu looked at the drunken chef Wu, "Speaking of which, I came to find Wu Gongzi today because I have something to discuss." ”
"I wonder what Madame is looking for?" Sitting on the chair, Drunken Chef Wu's face showed a touch of surprise, he looked at Yunzhu, and asked suspiciously.
"I asked Wu Gongzi just now, do you know Piaoxiangju, don't hide it from Gongzi, I am the owner of Piaoxiangju, and now I am preparing a restaurant, everything is complete, but there is only a lack of chefs."
Looking at the drunken chef Wu, Yun Zhu didn't beat around the bush and said what he wanted to say directly.
"I know, Wu Gongzi has some preferences, but I don't care, not only that, I can guarantee that from now on, Gongzi will never need to look for wine everywhere again."
Seeing that Drunken Chef Wu seemed to want to speak, Yunzhu continued to speak, not giving him a chance to speak, because she knew that after her words came out, Drunken Chef Wu's words would not be able to speak.
Sure enough, after listening to Yunzhu's words, what the drunken chef Wu wanted to say suddenly swallowed back.
"Childe must have doubts about what I said, but it doesn't matter, we can verify it on the spot, presumably Childe just got up, and he didn't eat anything, Steward He, let people order some dishes and come back, and by the way, let Wu Gongzi taste the wine I brought."
Turning his head to Steward He, Yun Zhu looked at Drunken Chef Wu again, "I promise, after drinking the wine I brought, you don't want to go to other people's houses to find wine again." ”
According to Yunzhu's instructions, Steward He gave an order to the subordinates he brought, and the subordinates responded and left the house of the drunken chef Wu with the money.
Hearing Yunzhu talk about wine, Drunken Chef Wu's eyes suddenly fell on several jars beside her, and he estimated that what was in the jar was the wine she said.
Can it really be that good?
"Madam, I have drunk a lot of good wine in Xia, and it can be said that the wine in the palace has been tasted in Xiaxia."
The implication of the drunken chef Wu's words is that Yunzhu brags, and in his opinion, no good wine can compare to the imperial wine in the court.
"Wu Gongzi said this a little early, but it doesn't matter, after a while, you will know whether what I said is true or false."
"Speaking of which, I have also drunk the imperial wine in the palace, and I dare to say that it is not as good as my wine."
Yun Zhu was so determined, so that the drunken chef Wu couldn't help but be a little curious, he stared at the wine jar beside Yun Zhu, just looking forward to the next person who went to buy vegetables to come back soon.
"Tea first." The tea had already been brewed, and the drunken chef Wu poured the tea for Yunzhu and said with a smile.
Picking up the teacup, Yun Zhu sniffed it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he really didn't guess wrong just now, this drunken chef Wu's home really has a bit of foundation.
Just now I saw the decoration in the room and judged, now, Yunzhu is based on the tea in the cup.
In the past few months in Kyoto, Yunzhu has also drunk a lot of good tea, and this mouth has already been raised, and she can also determine the quality of tea based on the smell alone.
took a sip, sure enough, this tea is good, the tea fragrance is light, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and it must be worth a lot of silver.
"Speaking of which, how did Madame know about me?" After taking a sip of tea, the drunken chef Wu looked at Yunzhu and asked suspiciously.
"It's said by a friend of mine, he knows that my guest incense needs a cook, especially a reliable chef, so he recommended you to me, don't hide it from Wu Gongzi, I have sent someone to investigate your preferences, so I don't care about your love of wine."
"I know, you know that if you don't do it in the restaurant, it's because the original boss won't let you drink, in my place, you can rest assured, I won't stop you from drinking, on the contrary, I will also provide you with good wine, of course, with good wine, you have to work hard."
Hearing Drunken Chef Wu ask, Yunzhu didn't hide it, she just didn't tell An Yuming's identity, and told Drunken Chef Wu all the rest.
After listening to Yunzhu, a provocative smile appeared on Drunken Chef Wu's face, "Madame's words are a little early, how do you know that I will definitely promise you to go to your guest to incense?" ”
"You will definitely agree, unless you don't love fine wine, it's not me who boasts, and after you drink the wine I brought, you will never find a better wine in the capital from now on."
Yun Zhu is still very confident in the wine he brewed, after all, long before it was brewed, Yun Zhu was given to Old Man He, Steward He and the Tan family to taste.
If one person says it's good, two people say it's barely good, if everyone says it's good, it can only mean that this thing is really good.
It is because so many people say that it is good, so in the end, Yunzhu will choose those kinds of wine.
Yunzhu's words made the drunken chef Wu more and more interested in her wine, his eyes kept wandering on the wine jar, and he looked forward to the next person who bought vegetables to come back soon.
In the anxious waiting of the drunken chef Wu, the servant finally bought the dishes back, in order to be able to drink the wine quickly, the drunken chef Wu personally stepped forward to help and put the dishes on the plate.
Looking at Drunken Chef Wu's expression and reaction, a smile flashed in Yunzhu's eyes, as long as Drunken Chef Wu's interest was aroused, the next thing would be easier to handle.
"I've brought more than one wine today, but I promise you'll make each one unforgettable."
Let the subordinates open the seal on a wine jar first, and suddenly the aroma of wine was permeated, and the drunken chef Wu took a deep breath, and the expression on his face was a little intoxicated.
"This wine...... It smells so good! "The wine that the servant opened was the cheapest of the several types of wine he brought.
Looking at the expression on the face of the drunken chef Wu, the smile on Yun Zhu's face deepened.
"If you are not mistaken, Wu Gongzi was just drunk yesterday, it is better to eat something first, and then taste this wine."
Drunken Chef Wu couldn't wait, but when Yunzhu said this, he felt very reasonable, so he nodded, stared at the wine jar, and quickly ate a few bites of food.
The greater the reaction of the drunken chef Wu, the more likely it is that the matter will succeed, Yunzhu sat at the table, looking at the eyes of the drunken chef Wu who had not left the wine jar, and then signaled to the subordinate and poured a glass of wine for the drunken chef Wu.
"Wu Gongzi taste it, how does this wine taste?"
Taking the wine from the hands of his subordinates, the drunken chef Wu didn't drink it all, he first sniffed the aroma of wine from the wine glass, and then took a sip.
"Good wine!" After this sip, the drunken chef Wu's eyes widened, he couldn't care about the small sip of wine tasting, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
"Ma'am, can you have another drink?" After drinking all the wine in the cup, the drunken chef Wu looked at Yunzhu with a blank eye, and his tone was full of discussion.
"I'm pouring a glass for Wu Gongzi." Turning her head, Yunzhu gave an order to the subordinate, and the subordinate poured another cup for the drunken chef Wu according to her instructions.
"Oh, little brother, it's not full, this is pouring wine, pay attention to half a full of wine, you are rude."
The wine in the cup was actually full, but in the eyes of the drunken chef Wu, it was not much full, so he looked at his subordinates and spoke with a smile on his face.
"It's full." Yun Zhu saw that the wine glass was full, but when the drunken chef Wu said so, Yun Zhu still opened his mouth to command.
Yun Zhu spoke, and the subordinates naturally complied, but the wine glass was already full, so he was just putting on a show.
Holding the wine glass carefully, the drunken chef Wu brought his mouth to the side of the glass, took a sip first, and made sure that the wine in the cup would not be spilled, so he sat up straight and drank the wine in the cup in small sips.
At this time, the drunken chef Wu regretted the most because his cup was too small, so after drinking two glasses of this wine, he was still hungry for alcohol.
After seeing the bottom of the glass again, the drunken chef Wu's eyes fell on the wine jar again, seeing him like this, Yunzhu motioned to his subordinates to continue pouring wine.
"What Wu Gongzi is drinking now is the ordinary wine in the store, in addition to this wine, I also brought other good wine today, presumably Wu Gongzi will also be interested."
Seeing that the drunken chef Wu brought the wine glass to his lips again, Yunzhu smiled and spoke, and the drunken chef Wu's movements were paused, and the wine in his hand almost spilled out.
Hurriedly drank all the wine in the cup, and the drunken chef Wu looked at Yunzhu, "What Madame said just now, but is it true?" ”
"Naturally, it's true, I bluffed you into any reward." Nodding, Yunzhu looked at the lower person, "Open another jar of wine." ”
"Yes." In response, the servant opened another jar, and a stronger aroma of wine came out, and suddenly, the eyes of the drunken chef Wu were a little straight.
"This ...... The aroma of this wine is really the best in the world! ”
It has long been said that the drunken chef Wu likes to look for wine, so to speak, he has drunk the best wine in the world, and even the imperial wine in the palace, he has also drunk it.
Before, Yunzhu said that his wine was better than the imperial wine, and the drunken chef Wu didn't believe it, but now, he believed it.
The wine just now, Drunken Chef Wu already felt that it was comparable to the imperial wine, and now this wine, just because of the smell, is already better than the previous wine.
Looking at the wine jar with a blank eye, Drunken Chef Wu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he reached out and pushed his wine glass forward, and then shifted his gaze to Yunzhu's body.
"Pour wine for Wu Gongzi." Seeing that the drunken chef Wu was like this, Yun Zhu turned his head and ordered his subordinates, "Pour three cups in a row." ”
Yun Zhu said this, which made the drunken chef Wu's eyes light up, "Madam really understands me, if I drink three glasses of this wine, I guess this year will be enough for me to reminisce." ”
Drunken Chef Wu naturally exaggerated when he spoke, but at this time he really thought so in his heart.
Picking up the first glass of wine poured by the subordinate, the drunken chef Wu leaned in front of his nose, first sniffed lightly, and then tasted it in small sips.
Under this drink, Drunken Chef Wu was almost intoxicated, because whether it was the taste or anything else, it was not a little stronger than before.
Originally, the drunken chef Wu thought that even if this wine was better than the previous one, it was estimated that it was not much worse, but where did he think that the taste of this wine was simply a surprise to him.
After drinking one glass, he still can't get enough, two cups are down, and he still wants three cups, and when the three cups are finished, the drunken chef Wu can't wait to take down the wine jar and drink it happily.
"How does it taste?" Looking at Drunken Chef Wu's expression, Yunzhu opened her mouth and asked, in fact, she didn't need to ask, she could guess that Drunken Chef Wu's evaluation of wine must be extremely high.
"Good wine! Good wine! This wine should only be in the sky, how many times in the world can I smell it? ”
Looking at Yunzhu, the drunken chef Wu opened his mouth and praised, "I don't know where Madame got such good wine?" ”
"If I say that this wine is made by me myself, what does Wu Gongzi think?"
"What? Is it made by Madame? His eyes widened, Drunken Chef Wu couldn't believe it, he looked Yunzhu up and down, and felt that this was not polite, so he quickly looked elsewhere.
"Madame is telling the truth?" Drunken Chef Wu's gaze happened to fall on the third jar of unopened wine, thinking about the taste of the first two, Drunken Chef Wu swallowed his saliva again.
"Naturally, it's true, I also made the ingots pot, presumably Wu Gongzi has never eaten it, right?"
Drunken Chef Wu's reaction was all seen by Yun Zhu, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, now, it is time to close the net......
