Chapter 100: Sweet
When Gervais carried the jar of wine to the dining room, the smell of wine suddenly filled the surroundings, and Anna's little maid, Thomas, and Yura all twitched their noses and inhaled vigorously, their faces full of curiosity.
"This tastes so sweet!"
Several people couldn't help but feel such a feeling in their hearts.
Although the lord told them what kind of Rausch wine was brewed in this jar, it smelled more like a delicious drink, and there was no wine at all, and Anna and Yura had not had the opportunity to drink wheat beer, but Thomas, who came out of Rose Castle, had the privilege of tasting it a few times, and smelled it countless times at the banquet alone, and the 'wine' that Gervais spoke of was completely different from the wine of Rose Castle.
You must know that the wheat beer in Rose Castle is a selection of the best wheat, which is brewed by experienced brewers, and it will not be like those little nobles, in order to save, after the beer is brewed, it is also mixed with water.
It's not that Thomas doesn't believe Gervais, it's just that he hasn't heard of anything other than wheat to make wine for a hundred years, so Thomas has a slight doubt in his heart about whether adults will treat wild fruit drinks as wine.
After placing the jar firmly on the long table, Gervais looked into the mouth of the jar, but because the light was not enough, he couldn't see anything, so Gervais didn't look back and ordered Jura: "Jura, help me get a spoon, it will be longer." ”
"Yes, sir."
Yura didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly picked a large spoon of the right length from the cart on the side and carefully handed it to Gervais.
"My lord, here you go!"
"Yes."
Taking the spoon from Jura, Gervais quickly stuffed the spoon into the mouth of the jar and scooped a spoonful of wine out of it.
When the spoon was filled with this wine and the jar was taken out, Gervais's eyes lit up, and he saw that the liquid in the spoon was purple-red and fragrant, and the transparency was very good, and it did not look cloudy at all.
"Good!"
Gervais couldn't help but admire, the transparency of the wine was a sign that the fermentation of the wine was successful, and then Gervais poured the wine into a clean glass with a steady spoon.
Anna and the others cheered alone when they saw Gervais, I don't know why, they all looked at the spoon in Gervais's hand with wide eyes, and when they saw the purple-red wine, they all widened their eyes, they didn't expect the 'wine' made from wild fruits to be so beautiful, and because of the stirring of Gervais's spoon, the fragrance emitted from the jar was even stronger, smelling the sweet smell, Anna and the others swallowed their saliva slightly.
After pouring the wine into the glass, Gervais couldn't wait to pick up the glass and bring it to his mouth, as an ordinary person in his previous life, the most expensive wine Gervais drank was the kind of domestic wine with hundreds of bottles at the wedding banquet, or drunk with Sprite, of course, there is no habit of decanting, it is the patent of the local tyrant.
Gervais took a small sip of the cup first, smashed it a few times, and determined the taste first, after all, it was the first time to make wine, in case the taste was not right, he was afraid that he would squirt out if he drank too much.
Smashing his lips, Gervais's eyes suddenly brightened, and the whole person became excited, and then without hesitation, he brought the cup to his mouth again and took a sip.
"Okay, haha, I made it! Anna Thomas, your lords, I'm going to get rich! ”
When this sip is poured into the mouth, the sweet taste of wine instantly fills the mouth, and there is no bitterness or strange taste that I was originally worried about, and I don't know if it is because of the difference between the environment of this world and the earth, the wine taste is actually more mellow and sweet.
This made Gervais very happy, the only thing in the world was that rancid wheat beer, and there was no comparison with his own wine.
"Come, Yura, bring three more glasses, and you will taste them too, and see how it tastes, especially Thomas, do you think this wine will be popular with the nobles."
The three of them were already quite greedy when they stood aside and watched Gervais's enjoyment, especially the sudden cheering of Gervais, which made them full of curiosity about the 'wine' in front of them.
Thomas, in particular, had the experience of grilling golden oysters with Gervais, and even speculated about the taste of the juice.
That's right! Thomas still didn't want to believe that the purple-red, sweet-smelling liquid was wine.
"Yes, sir!"
Jura heard Gervais's command, and this time her movements were more neat, forgetting for a moment the teachings of Butler Thomas, the rules of steady grace required of a maid, for she was also eager to taste the delicious taste of the small jar in front of the lord.
Jura quickly took three glasses and placed them on the long table, and Gervais did not procrastinate, and when the glasses were stable, he scooped the wine out of the jar with a spoon and poured it into several glasses.
"My lord, this is too stingy!"
This is the mental activity of the three people present, because they watched the juice that Gervais poured into the cup only filled one-third of the cup, not even half a cup is not enough, it is estimated that two or three sips will be drunk, but the lord's own cup has been filled again, of course, this is just a slight thought, not even a complaint, the three of them know that this is made by the lord himself, even if he can drink a drop is a gift, he will definitely not dare to have any complaints.
Gervais is not really stingy, but for the good of the three of them, after this wine Gervais tasted, the alcohol content is much higher than the beer in this world, he is worried that several people will not get used to drinking, especially Anna and Yura, for fear that the two maids will get drunk in one sip, so he specially poured less.
"Come, let's taste it, don't pour it into your mouth, be careful of getting drunk, and talk about your feelings later."
After all, Gervais is a time-traveler, he drank a lot of all kinds of wine in his previous life, and he has long been accustomed to wine, so it is not strange that he thinks it tastes good, but Anna and the three of them are people from this world, and they have not been exposed to these things before, so they don't know if the taste of wine can be accepted by the natives of this world, and they can just give Gervais advice.
Gervais is actually very glad that he was lucky to find a wild version of the otherworldly grapes, if there is a wild sorghum, Gervais estimates that if you make sorghum wine, the choking degree is definitely poison for people who have not been exposed to it, after all, it is too difficult to swallow, and it will definitely be a big trouble if you want to promote it.
"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!"
The three of them got Gervais's permission, and they all saluted Gervais respectfully, and then they went to the long table with great anticipation and picked up the glass containing the wine, and after holding the glass steady, several people did not taste it immediately, but retreated to a position further back than just now, away from the long table, and then stopped, carefully examined the grape 'wine' in their hands, and they kept in mind the taboo of the long table in the castle.
Seeing the actions of several people, Gervais did not say anything, but also picked up his own glass from the long table, and only looked at the few people after taking a sip, waiting for their performance after tasting, whether the wine is suitable for the taste of this world, it will soon be known.
If something wants to be popular, the audience can't be niche, only by catering to the taste of the public, can it really be popular, and the money is rolling, Gervais can't help but be slightly nervous in his heart at the moment.
