Chapter 13 Brewing Yourself
In the early morning, Sima Shao was awakened by the crisp cry on the branches.
When I walked out of the door, I saw the wet courtyard after the rain, and the pines and cypresses in the courtyard still had the raindrops that had not dried last night.
Today, Sima Shao plans to make some wine himself.
He had tasted the wine enshrined in the palace, and the taste was faint, and there was no degree.
......
As soon as Yu Wenjun arrived at the entrance of Sima Shao's Palace, he smelled a strange smell coming to him, and he was blocking his nose with a silk scarf, but he saw Ying'er, the maid next to Sima Shao, running out of the backyard, and kept panting, it seemed that she was also suffocated in the backyard.
Yu Wenjun beckoned the maid over: "Where is Your Highness?" Where is your Highness? How did you make the temple smell so bad? ”
The maid faced Yu Wenjun's questioning and said timidly: "Your Highness doesn't know what kind of demon you have, I heard that you are making wine alone in the backyard." ”
"Wine?" Yu Wenjun shook his head curiously, pinched his nose and endured the unpleasant smell and walked into the backyard.
The maid Ying'er had no choice but to follow obediently and follow Yu Wenjun to the backyard without saying a word.
Backyard.
Yu Wenjun saw that Sima Shao was carefully sealing a few jars that emitted a strange smell and burying them in the soil in the backyard.
Curiously asked, "I was just outside the hall, and I heard your maid say what wine you are making, what is it?" Why does it smell so bad? ”
Sima Shao said with a smile: "As the name suggests, this wine is made by fermentation with grapes as raw materials, and the flesh and skin of the grapes will have such a peculiar smell after sealing and fermentation. Of course, after the brewing, the taste is gone, and the drink is exceptionally fresh, so you should try it when the time comes......
Yu Wenjun's face was full of black lines when he heard it, this thing means that it smells so bad, are you sure you can drink it.
Sima Shao knew what she was thinking by looking at the expression on his daughter-in-law's face, and said secretly in his heart: Xiao Nizi, when the wine comes out, I will see how wonderful your expression will be.
Half a month passed, and Sima Shao took out a few jars of wine from the backyard that he had made with grapes more than ten days ago, and because of this thing for a while, Yu Wenjun didn't come to him for a few days in a row!
Taking a deep breath, Sima Shao smelled a little bit of wine, he had already filtered some dregs with a gauze towel a few days ago, and now it seemed to smell a little stronger.
He took a small cup and poured it some.
After tasting it, I took it in my mouth for a while, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I said: "Refreshing and supple, with a long aftertaste, it tastes exactly the same as my hometown." ”
He made up two altars and prepared to bring them to Yu Mansion to give Yu Wenjun and his father-in-law Yu Chen a piece of product, so he thought of it.
Sima Shao opened his mouth and said to the subordinate beside him: "Tell me to go down and leave for Yufu." ”
"Whoa." The servant replied.
Yu Mansion.
Sima Shao's old man doesn't have any other hobbies on weekdays, but he is greedy for cups.
As soon as he heard that it was wine made from grapes, he was not polite, so he immediately poured a large bowl and drank it, and drank it in one go, Yu Chen's eyes lit up and looked at Sima Shao, and asked him with a little excitement Where did he come from?
Ordinary people have never even heard of this wine, let alone brewed it for sale. Thinking that he is a dignified general, he has never drunk it a few times, and he is still rewarded with tribute wine only after winning the battle.
The wine brought by Sima Shao is more energetic than that in the palace, but the stamina is a little bigger.
Sima Shao couldn't help laughing when he saw that his father-in-law Yu Chen had been drained with a bowl of wine.
"You can also try my wine, you probably don't know what wine from grapes tastes like, you don't know whether it's sweet or sour."
Sima Shao poured another half cup with a small cup and gave it to Yu Wenjun.
Yu Wenjun took the cup, looked at the crystal clear purple-red liquid in the cup and tasted it. The sweetness and sourness of the grapes, combined with a hint of fermentation, are soft on the palate without losing the taste of the wine, which is simply wonderful.
Yu Wenjun took a sip, and then suddenly paused, as if he liked the sweetness of the wine, so he poured himself another glass to taste, but he couldn't stop at all after one glass......
"Alright, I'm here to taste you, not to be an alcoholic!"
Sima Shao was stunned at first, but when he came back to his senses, he snatched the small wine glass in Yu Wenjun's hand, and glared at her silently.
"If you pay me back, I will still drink ......," Yu Wenjun said drunkly.
"Not really." Sima Shao said solemnly.
"If you don't give me a drink, then you drink, or you will pay me back." Yu Wenjun said in a daze.
"Okay, then I'll drink." After speaking, Sima Zhao drank it with a large amount of wine, holding the jar and gulping it down.
“......”
Unconsciously, the two opened another jar and drank to each other......
"Drink, are you drunk?" Yu Wenjun squinted his eyes and asked.
"Who said that, I obviously drank it." Sima Shao replied with his eyelids wide open.
After saying that, the two had another drink.
"Drink."
The two of them collapsed on the table with their wine glasses in their hands......
Following.
When the maid was cleaning the room, she found Sima Shao and Yu Wenjun sleeping on the floor.
The maid did not dare to disturb them, and crept back.
Hearing the movement, Sima Shao endured his headache, and what he saw was the ceiling, and then his eyes looked around in confusion.
He rolled over with all his might, but couldn't get up. Yu Wenjun pressed his arm against his body, and he couldn't move.
In his ears, Yu Wenjun was breathing warmly, and gradually Sima Shao's face was red and his ears were red.
He wanted to get out of his current state, he gently lifted Yu Wenjun's arm and slowly placed it on herself.
In the next second, Yu Wenjun was woken up.
The scene in front of her was Sima Shao holding her arm, her mind couldn't turn for a while, staring at Sima Shao's face without blinking, motionless.
Sima Shao's blazing breath blew on Yu Wenjun's face, she suddenly realized that this posture was very ambiguous, she glanced at the knobby fingers on her arm, couldn't break free, and lowered her voice: "Let go." ”
Sima Shao smiled and looked at the blushing woman in front of him, his dark eyes staring tightly, as if he wanted to see her through.
Taking advantage of Sima Shao's inattention, Yu Wenjun slammed Sima Shao's hand away in the next second and said, "Phew, Dengzi, you know that you take advantage of me." ”
"Jun'er, listen to me explain, things are not what you see." Sima Shao hurriedly wanted to explain.
"Don't listen, don't listen." Yu Wenjun covered his ears with his hands and ran out of the door in shame.
Sima Shao also hurriedly chased after him......
Dining room.
The two called their subordinates to prepare a meal and prepare to fill their stomachs.
Although they didn't get to dinner, the two of them drank some wine last night and were not hungry. This time, I was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back.
Yu Wenjun feasted on a large piece and put on a look of enjoyment.
Sima Shao's brain didn't know if it was because he drank wine and was messy. His mind was full of Yu Wenjun's face, and he ate a few bites of food listlessly, but he didn't know the taste.
"Huh? Do you think we have forgotten something? Yu Wenjun asked Sima Shao.
"It seems that it is, by the way, what about your father, General Yu? You can't still be asleep, right? Sima Shao scratched his head and said.
The other side.
General Yu woke up slowly, looked down at the wine jar on the ground, and raised his hand weakly.
Standing up, he called the maid and asked, "What about the young lady and His Royal Highness?" ”
"Tell the master, the young lady is eating with His Royal Highness in the dining room......"
