Chapter 671: Liquan Villa
The old man led the carriage across the river, whipped the horse's buttocks, and told the horse to park the cart not far from the waterwheel, and then took out the bamboo tube prepared on the cart and put it on the wooden barrel, and the spring water raised in the waterwheel was poured into the wooden barrel by the bamboo tube under the force of washing, saving time and effort.
By the time the old man was done, many people had come up from the mountainside to fetch water by the Liquan River.
Song Siyuan picked up the binoculars to observe the surroundings, the mountain bag on the bank of the Liquan River was flattened a lot, and the stilted buildings built by the river were built, three or four layers were stacked, and the banners were hung out, and the three words "Liquan Villa" written on the plaque of the archway were probably made with Liquan or something!
She pulled Yue Guanchao and whispered: "Could it be that it is related to the winery here, could it be that the people of the winery deliberately scattered something in the river by making wine." ”
"Uncle, isn't this Liquan River public, how can someone build a winery here!"
Song Siyuan's words, the old man shook his head for a while, and immediately retorted: "Sister, Liquan is indeed shared, but no one can prevent others from using it, Liquan Winery built a restaurant here, and also wanted to use spring water to make wine, this huge waterwheel was built by the people in the winery, and even this stone arch bridge was built by Liquan Villa, if it weren't for them, it wouldn't be so easy for us to fetch water, we are all small people, they give us convenience, we also give them convenience." ”
"Of course, the winery knows that it is a bit immoral to occupy the river, all the wine of Liquan Villa will let the people buy it at the lowest price, if it is out of Jiangyou Ancient Town, these wines are sky-high, I heard that the highest grade Liquan jade liquid is on the table of the provincial governor and major dignitaries."
"You guys, you can also go and try it."
The old man's words seemed to be praising Liquan Villa, but Song Siyuan heard a different meaning, no matter whether Liquan Villa was the culprit or not, at least using spring water to make wine was already regarded as sending Gu worms into other commodities, and even, these wines were also served to the provincial governor's table, which also meant that even the provincial governor might have been deceived.
That's not good!
After the old man left, everyone bypassed the people who fetched water and walked along the river to Liquan Villa.
After walking through the archway, you will come to the gate of Liquan Villa, and when you stand on a high place just now, you can see that behind the stilted building is a complete courtyard.
These courtyards are completely different from ordinary houses, a little close to the Ganlan bamboo building in Yunnan, with wooden planks paved into a floor one meter above the ground, it can be seen that the huge courtyard is built on the floor, divided into the courtyard before and after, the left and right are divided into the courtyard, the two-storey small building is mostly connected by the corridor trestle, directly spreads to the vicinity of the mountain wall, hidden in the dense mountain forest, the gray tile out of the eaves, the courtyard is connected, like a paradise that is inaccessible.
Outside the gate of the main courtyard, there are many shops facing the street, which are full of all kinds of liquor brewed by Liquan Villa, a few of them came over, and some shopkeepers dressed up ran over with a smile: "Oh, a few people want to see something, the wine of Liquan Villa is used in the nearby Liquan, the old fermentation of the wine mother, mellow and sweet, a line of tender throat, is a rare famous wine in Shudi." ”
"What about us, we are planning to enter a batch of wine for entertaining guests, we want to see if these drinks are really made of grain, shopkeeper, you tell us to see the place where the wine is made, if it is really made of grain, then we will go back and talk to the elders of the family, how about you set your wine first?" 33
Yue Guanchao's words, said the shopkeeper was slightly embarrassed, since Yue Guanchao had put it forward, not letting them visit but a bit of a thief's heart, accompanied by a smile and said: "Liquan wine has a unique secret recipe, it is okay to take you to see it, but you can only look at the ordinary wine-making steps." ”
"That's, that's!"
"Everyone, please."
The shopkeeper beckoned them to step up the stairs into the courtyard, and by the time they entered the courtyard, they were already standing in the corridors on the second floor, which were constantly intertwined between the pavilions, forming a chessboard-like corridor that hung over the houses.
There must be a reason for this design, these courtyards are independent of each other, each responsible for the different brewing processes of liquor, koji-making, grinding, beating, soaking, cooking, cooling, mixing, fermentation, distillation, each step is in full swing in different courtyards, and the gray-clothed guys are running around, busy and orderly in them.
"The liquor in our Liquan Villa is brewed from pure grain, mainly wheat, sorghum, rice, corn, and glutinous rice, and the strong fragrance, sauce fragrance, fragrance and fragrance are all produced."
"Liquan Tribute Wine, Liquan Jade Liquor is rich in aroma, soft and soft, used to be into the imperial tribute, and then the emperor is gone, now it can also be ranked in the Provincial Governor's Mansion, Guanjiu, Jiang Wine is slightly yellow and transparent, the sauce is fragrant, it is delicate and elegant to drink, it is the best product for the banquet, as for the drunken Shuchuan, Fuling Brew, the fragrance is refreshing, the aftertaste is sweet, it is more suitable for friends to gather, family banquet rewards, and the last kind of lychee brewing and green plum brewing with fragrant mouth, using lychee and six grains to brew, drink fruity and sweet, a thousand cups are not drunk, suitable for flower appreciation, Poetry and music. ”
In the end, the shopkeeper had led them through the brewing courtyard to the hall in the middle of the corridor, which resembled a restaurant in the house, where countless kinds of wine were bottled and arranged, and there were tables, chairs and benches.
After a few people took their seats, the shopkeeper took out different wine jars, poured a little of each glass, and put them beside Yue Guanchao.
Looking at these wines, Yue Guanchao remembered the appearance of being tortured to death by Gu worms, and his throat rolled slightly with nausea, but in order not to let the shopkeeper see it, he just raised the wine glass and sniffed it.
The taste is really good, but aside from the fact that there may be Gu worms hidden in it, the wine of Liquan Villa can be regarded as a high-quality product.
Seeing that he didn't mean to enter, the shopkeeper's eyes became curious: "Distinguished guest, why don't you taste it, you can't taste it just by smelling it." ”
Yue Guanchao sneered, perfunctory: "We are still driving the carriage, drinking and making mistakes, drinking and mistaking things, I know that this wine is not simple just by smelling it." ”
"I don't know what kind of guests you use to entertain, whether it is a happy guest, a sad guest, or a relative, a visitor, I will continue to introduce it to you."
The shopkeeper had already realized that something was wrong, and wanted to continue to ask questions, wanting to see what Yue Guanchao was going to do.
"In a few days, it will be the day of the Yin God Sacrifice, we plan to send incense boats by the river, this wine doesn't need to be too good, but it must look good, otherwise the old men of the Wu God Sect will not accept it."
"Oh, then you choose to get drunk Shuchuan, the fragrance is multi-flavored, the bottle is still a narrow and thin white porcelain bottle, the most suitable to take out and worship God, then good, I will order a hundred bottles with you first, and wait until I tell the elders, and then come to get it in a few days."
"Okay!"
When they signed the contract, there was a bustle of cars and horses outside the courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, a man entered the hall.
Some people died, but not completely......
