Chapter 495: Staggered
On the ninth day of November, Mr. Name's birthday banquet. Everyone gathered together and had a great time.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Mr. Chang's face became more and more ruddy, and his smile became more like that of Maitreya Buddha. He took another sip and sighed, "Such a good grape wine is rare, rare, Tianze really has a heart." ”
Today's wine was sent by Lei Tianze from Beijing to Mr. Anonymous on his birthday, and it is said to be the best wine from the Western Regions. Although Mr. Unknown is not a drinker, but when he is interested, he also has a few glasses, he and Lei Tianze lived next to each other in Yixue, and talked about the wine of the Western Regions. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? The man was arrogant, and he mentioned all kinds of things he had seen and heard when he was young, and he also missed the wine made from grapes.
Lei Tianze returned to Beijing and returned to the palace, so he entered the palace and asked the emperor for an altar to send to Mr. Unknown. The tribute paid by the Western Regions to the Great Zhou Emperor is naturally the best in wine, and the taste is naturally not bad.
Lan Yi also took a sip of the wine glass, the taste of the wine was indeed not bad, but it was still a lot worse than the good wine she had drunk in later generations. It's a pity that she doesn't know how to make wine, otherwise she will definitely make a lot of money.
She sighed softly, shook the wine glass in her hand slightly, put it under her nose and sniffed it lightly, and then smiled with relief. Xiao Qi next to him flashed his eyes and whispered, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, do you think of a good diǎn son to make money again?" ”
Lan Yi was a little speechless, "Which eye did you see or which ear did you hear?" I can't think of anything other than silver? ”
Xiao Qi narrowed his peach blossom pupils slightly, raised his glass and drank with Xia Chongxiao opposite, pretending to raise his nose and sniff lightly, Fang smiled and said, "You don't need ears and eyes, just mention your nose and smell it, and you will know that when you see wine, you smell copper." ”
Lan Yi smiled and said frankly, "Well, I just think that if we can make this wine, it should be more profitable than making grapes into green mountain fresh fruits." ”
Xiao Qi's eyes widened, glanced at the Lan family brothers sitting next to him, and whispered sideways in Lan Yi's ear, "Sister-in-law knows how to make wine on Tuesday?" ”
Lan Yi's eyes squinted, "If you know, you still sigh?!" ”
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and laughed, attracting the attention of several people next to him. Lan Junzheng's long eyes were a little inquiring, "Senior sister, what are you and Brother Cheng laughing at?" ”
(3) dǐng (3) diǎn (3) 小 (3) said, .⊕.☆ os_ (); Lan Yi shook her head slightly, "It's nothing, I'm just curious about how wine is made." ”
When Lan Junzheng heard this, he raised his sleeves and bowed his hand to Mr. Chang, "If you want to know this matter for sure, you must ask Mr. Chang for advice." ”
The two tables focused their eyes on Mr. Chang, and he shook his head slightly, "Among the grape winemaking techniques, the most peculiar thing is that this wine is not made with koji, but I haven't seen it in person when I traveled to the Western Regions. Xiaozhi, you have lived in Xiazhou for a long time, do you know how to make this wine?"
Xiazhou within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is adjacent to the Western Regions, and Tuoba Xiaozhi is a native of Xiazhou, so Mr. Chang has this question. Tuoba Xiaozhi said frankly, "It's a shame to say that although I live in Xiazhou and have drunk a lot of wine, I don't know about it. ”
Everyone is diǎn head, Tuoba Xiaozhi is a general of Xiazhou, and it is normal for him to be busy with military affairs and not know about this matter. Mr. Nameless said, "I guess the brewing of this sake should be similar to that of plum wine, which is made by steaming without koji." ”
After that, he gave a brief introduction to how the farmhouse makes plum sake.
Mr. Chang smiled with a smile, "Nameless, Jie Kun or Jiangzhou?" How about we go to drink plum wine together next year? Your grandson hasn't been seen for a few years, hasn't he? ”
Lan Yi heard Zhang Pingyu say that Mr. Unknown has two sons, Meng Jiekun is his eldest son, and he is serving in Jiangzhou at this time.
Mr. Nameless was in a good mood, "It depends on how you feel at that time, if you want to go next year, let's make an appointment again, if you don't want to go when you make an appointment in advance, it will be troublesome." ”
Mr. Chang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Hearing your words, how can you have a little bit of your little apprentice's tone?!" ”
Mr. Nameless Diǎn Head, etc
Zhang Pingyu knew that his mentor valued and appreciated Lan Yi, and even gave her the famous piano Luqi, which he had treasured for many years, and he had heard verbal praise many times, so it was not strange to hear his mentor's words at this time. However, the Lan brothers are different. Mr. Nameless was strict with his disciples, and rarely praised him, let alone in front of so many people, so the two of them focused their eyes on Lan Yi in unison, surprised, puzzled, and even Lan Wu, who had been acting as a background, raised his eyes and took a deep look at Lan Yi at this time.
The eyes of other people are not enough, Lan Yi looked at the hostility in the eyes of Lan Junzheng and Tuoba Xiaozhi, and felt awkward in her heart, and didn't want to be entangled in this casual question, "Hehe, the teacher praised it falsely, where do I have any Wei and Jin style, I'm just lazy, I'm afraid that I will forget to do things and add trouble...... Mr. Chang, teacher, if you say that you don't need koji to make wine, I remember reading Su Jing's "New Cultivation of Materia Medica" in the Tang Dynasty a few days ago, "all wines are made with liquor and mustaches, while peach, honey and other wines do not need koji". Although the peach recorded in the book and the grapes of this wine are only homophonic and have different words, I think I want to go not far away. ”
The second elder diǎn head, Tuoba Xiao said bluntly, "Mrs. Zhou can even memorize the "New Materia Medica", and her filial piety is really admired. ”
Lan Yi looked at the meaning in his eyes and smiled calmly, "The little woman's aunt is a little knowledgeable in medicine, so there are a few medical books at home. The little woman also looked at it a few times in her spare time, and happened to see this interesting party and looked at it a few more times, and she was just a little impressed. Well, smelling the fragrance wafting in, I guess Yu Bo's secret roast sheep can be eaten, I'll bring it in for everyone. ”
With that, she got up and greeted her teacher and Mr. Chang, and went out of the door.
Tuoba Xiaozhi was even more unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but snort lightly, Su Yongchen, who was sitting next to him, noticed Tuoba Xiaozhi's hostility towards Lan Yi, and had the intention of probing in his heart, so he talked with Tuoba Xiaozhi.
Lan Yi went to the fire in the courtyard and sat down next to Zhou Weiji, watching him carefully apply seasoning to the roast lamb. Zhou Weiji said softly, "I'll bring it in when it's baked, you can go in first." ”
On a winter night, although there was a fire, the wind was still cold, and Lan Yi was not wearing a cloak at this time.
Lan Yi shook her head and sat down beside him, "It's not cold, let's go in together when you're done." ”
Dao Wufeng walked out of the kitchen with two dishes and said with a smile, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, you go into the house, and I will take care of the roast sheep." ”
Dao Wufeng didn't like the atmosphere of everyone in the house talking about elegance, and he liked to stay in the kitchen with Yu Bo to study the cooking way, so he didn't go in the courtyard all the time.
When it was time for Zhou Weiji to enter the house and take a seat, he took the dish plate in Dao Wufeng's hand, and said softly to Lan Yi, "Tuoba Xiaozhi, you just don't see it, don't let him spoil his interest." ”
Lan Yi diǎn head, "He will come with him tonight, and he will have a plan." ”
Zhou Weiji glanced at the door curtain, and his voice was calm, "No matter what he wants, I will find out." (To be continued.) )
