Chapter 273: Above board

In fact, it wasn't just Tang Lin who would ask such questions.

It is Qi Yue, the number one swordsman in the world, who is already in a rock-solid state of mind, and at this moment, the waves are also crashing on the shore.

Although she knew that sorghum rice could not make good wine, she would not think that Chen Changfeng's method was completely unfeasible like Tang Lin.

At least this wine can be made.

But Qi Yue never thought that the fermented sorghum koji alone would be even more fragrant than the quicksand brew she had smelled in the quicksand before.

This simply doesn't make sense!

In the quicksand, whether it is Guigu or Zhang Liang, they are all first-class geniuses, what they can't do, how can Chen Changfeng do it?

Chen Changfeng is more genius than his master and brother?

No way!

"Childe, it's true." Some of the craftsmen who stayed here for two days spoke, and although their faces were also incredible, they were still not as exaggerated as Tang Lin.

Hearing the affirmation of the craftsman, Tang Lin still opened his mouth wide.

His face was full of astonishment, I don't know if it was because of shock, but I just wanted to take an extra sip of this wonderful wine.

……

The Emperor came out of the examination room.

Although it was the first imperial examination of the Ming Empire, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

At least the emperor himself was satisfied.

Preparing to return to the palace, the emperor's gaze fell on the direction of the East Palace in the distance.

The emperor remembered Chen Changfeng's use of sorghum rice to make wine, and Chen Changfeng's promise to give him a new method of brewing.

Although the emperor still felt that Chen Changfeng was talking nonsense at the moment, there had been no news from Chen Changfeng in the past seven days, which made the emperor very curious.

The emperor also wanted to know what Chen Changfeng, the kid cat, was doing in the East Palace.

"Swing the East Palace!" The emperor ordered.

Liu Xi instantly realized the emperor's thoughts, and quickly turned around and went in the direction of the East Palace.

From afar, the emperor sitting in the imperial chariot smelled the rich aroma of wine.

"Huh?"

"Is there such a smell of wine in the world?" The look of surprise in the emperor's eyes flickered.

The emperor stopped, and the emperor stood outside the walls of the East Palace, the rich aroma of wine making him sniff sharply.

"Liu Xi, didn't you say that the prince used sorghum rice to make wine?"

"But the smell of wine?" The emperor's eyes looked at Liu Xi like a torch.

Liu Xi was also stunned.

According to the people of the world, it is impossible for sorghum rice fermentation to have such a wine aroma.

Even other ingredients should not have such a fragrance.

Could it be that the prince has found another brewing ingredient?

"Your Majesty, the old slave got the news that the prince did use sorghum rice to make wine, maybe the prince later chose other raw materials......

"Other raw materials, what raw materials can have such a strange fragrance?" The Emperor was a little annoyed, and took another sharp breath of air, only to feel the smell of wine fill his entire head.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." The Emperor shook his head violently, resisted the urge to take another sip of wine, and stepped into the East Palace.

……

"Lao Zhang, is this fermentation any different from our previous winemaking?" Tang Lin really couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked about the brewing craftsman he had brought before.

Tang Lin wanted to ask Chen Changfeng to come by himself, but he thought that he was so dissatisfied with Chen Changfeng before, and he couldn't lower his head at the moment.

The craftsman Lao Zhang did not immediately return to Tang Lin's words, but looked at Chen Changfeng for help.

Obviously, the craftsman Lao Zhang wanted to know if Chen Changfeng asked him to say this.

Seeing Lao Zhang like this, Tang Lin felt even more incredulous.

Lao Zhang is an old craftsman in winemaking, although he is not as good as a winemaking master like Di Xi, but what makes him respect Chen Changfeng so much is definitely not because of Chen Changfeng's status as a prince.

The only possibility is Chen Changfeng's fermentation method, which makes Lao Zhang extremely admired.

Chen Changfeng nodded slightly, motioning for Lao Zhang to explain.

"Childe, we used to make a fatal mistake in winemaking, that is, we were afraid that the temperature of fermentation was not enough, but this was extremely wrong."

"The optimal temperature for fermentation of koji is not the same as the temperature at which we cook rice, and it is much lower, the temperature is too high, and the koji is cooked directly, and some of them are even burnt, and the aroma is naturally insufficient."

"Sorghum rice is easy to cook, and if you ferment sorghum koji at the same temperature as fermenting other koji, the bitter taste is even stronger, so there are rumors that sorghum rice cannot be brewed."

"But today's son also saw it, this sorghum rice ......" Speaking of this, Lao Zhang shook his head slowly and did not continue.

All of them think that sorghum rice cannot make wine, which is the limitation of sorghum rice itself, and how can they think that it is their level that makes them self-righteous.

But Chen Changfeng, His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming, can find the problem.

If they can maintain such a fragrance all the time, Lao Zhang believes that the world's first wine will definitely be produced by the sorghum koji in front of them.

"That is to say......"

"In other words, this sorghum rice can really make good wine?" Before Tang Li's words were finished, the emperor had already walked in with Liu Xi.

The emperor stood beside the barrels of fermented koji and took a deep breath of the rich aroma of the wine.

The emperor secretly said to himself that he had drunk so many fine wines in the world, even if he had drunk a few jars of quicksand brewing, but there was really no fragrance of fine wine, which could be compared with what he was looking for.

If this wine can really be brewed, the new wine-making method that Chen Changfeng said before can really work.

At that time, the financial revenue of the Ming Empire will definitely rise.

The appearance of the emperor surprised everyone.

Everyone saluted, and the emperor's eyes also fell on Chen Changfeng.

"How's that, boy, are you sure?" The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng with great anticipation.

Chen Changfeng glanced at the emperor a little lazily, and said slowly: "I don't have the confidence that my father will confine his sons for three months in the court. ”

Liu Xi's face changed at that time.

Good guy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer the Emperor of Yin and Yang Weirdness, but directly pointed at the emperor's nose and output.

Tang Xue'er and the others also sank in their hearts, but they didn't know what to say to resolve such forms.

Qi Yue's big eyes flickered under his hat, and he looked at the emperor curiously.

She heard that the Ming Emperor was very irritable, but she didn't dare to show her teeth in front of the Ming Prince.

Tang Lin's heart and liver were trembling, and he now wished that he had never appeared here.

Output to the emperor, although it is just a sentence, it can also make people sweat.

"That's not because your kid made too big a mistake, if I don't punish you, how can I convince the public, if you really get this wine out, I can lift your confinement, and in addition, allow you to add five hundred more private troops......"

"Two thousand!" Chen Changfeng interrupted the emperor.

The emperor was slightly stunned, and stretched out two fingers: "Eight hundred." ”

"One thousand nine!" Chen Changfeng said again.

"A thousand, no more."

"One thousand eight, don't do it if you don't do it!"

Although he didn't know what it meant to add more private troops, seeing that Chen Changfeng suddenly bargained with the emperor, the emperor's face was even more angry, his eyes were round, and everyone's hearts and livers were worried again.

"One thousand three, there are more hundred officials who have to point at my nose and scold." The emperor pursed his lips tightly, and his fists were already unceremoniously pinched, almost hitting Chen Changfeng's head.

Qi Yue looked at the emperor's clenched fists, and said in her heart that if the emperor did Chen Changfeng, would he help or not.

Lao Tzu beating his son doesn't seem to be within his duty of protection, right?

If the emperor beats Chen Changfeng stupidly, will he be liberated directly?

Hey!

"One thousand five, if you don't agree, I won't brew this wine, it's a big deal that you will abolish my position as the prince, just right, I don't bother to fight with them." Chen Changfeng said that, and directly collapsed on the chair in front of the emperor.

The one who puts it in a mess is called a fairboard.
