Chapter 145: Fairy Toast
"This is Guangwu Imperial Wine?"
The almost unheard of wine bottle shape surprised Ning Yingran and Han Yuanyuan.
The latter, in particular, has drunk a variety of famous wines from all over the world, but has never seen a bottle with such a unique shape.
This bottle alone is probably priceless and can be called a work of art.
"That's right!"
Su Bingchang also said proudly: "Although I am in the foreign wine business, when it comes to wine culture, it is still a must in our Yan country." ”
"It's a pity that in the past period of time, Yanguo has suffered heavy losses due to the war, and many ancestral old crafts have gradually disappeared, which makes these foreign wines take advantage of the void now."
"You should think that this bottle is also worth a lot of money now, don't you?"
Ning Yingran and Han Yuanyuan nodded immediately.
"You're right, in fact, this bottle alone has a lot of origins!"
Su Bingchang probably also knew that there would be no such opportunity in the future, so he introduced with great interest: "You don't know that the manufacturing process used in this wine bottle is a special process that has been lost more than 300 years ago!" Such a technology, even with modern technology, is difficult to reproduce! ”
"And in the troubled times a hundred years ago, it was even more so, so back then, this wine bottle alone caused a sensation at the top of the Yan Kingdom!"
"A craft that was lost three hundred years ago? So where did the bottle come from? Ning Yingran asked.
"Hehe, according to legend, this wine bottle is made by the military god Lin Xuanyuan!"
"What? Lin Xuanyuan! Han Yuanyuan exclaimed, startling Ning Yingran and the others.
She immediately realized her gaffe and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm actually a fan of Lord War!" ”
"What? Yuanyuan, why didn't I know about this? Ning Yingran was surprised.
"Oh, I'll tell you about this later, Boss Su, go on! Is this bottle really made by the god of war? ”
"It is rumored that it is, because this wine bottle was dedicated to Emperor Guangwu by the military god Lin Xuanyuan!"
Su Bingchang shook his head and recalled: "It is said that back then, the army of the Restoration Kingdom entered the territory of Izumo, and it was seen that the general trend had been achieved. Emperor Guangwu was ready to reward the meritorious ministers with imperial wine when he ascended the throne. The recipe for the sake has been made, but the bottle that matches it is nowhere to be found. ”
"At this moment, the military god Lin Xuanyuan presented seven fairy toast bottles!"
"Fairy toast?!" Han Yuanyuan and Ning Yingran exclaimed.
Su Bingchang came to the wine bottle, pointed to the lifelike fairy bottle and said: "There were a total of seven wine bottles dedicated to Emperor Guangwu by the military god, which means seven fairies, and legend has it that the fairies of each wine bottle have different appearances, and my one is the fifth fairy......
"No, you are the sixth fairy, holding a colorful ribbon, and the heavenly court is in charge of flowers and trees. The fifth fairy is holding a red glass bead, and the heavenly court is in charge of the god cuckoo bird. ”
Before Su Bingchang finished speaking, Lin Chen interjected.
Hearing this, Su Bingchang was also a little surprised: "Little Brother Lin, do you also know about this fairy toast bottle?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Su Bingchang thought of a reasonable explanation by himself.
Yes, Lin Chen is very fond of red wine, and his skills in wine tasting are extraordinary, so it is not surprising that he will know this legendary fairy toast bottle.
It's just that Su Bingchang didn't expect that Lin Chen would know this, because this fairy toast bottle was originally made by him!
What Su Bingchang said just now is half-true and half-false, back then, it was indeed he who personally created these wine bottles in the name of the military god Lin Xuanyuan.
To be able to use the technology that has been lost for more than 200 years to make these wine bottles, only Lin Chen, who has lived for 10,000 years, can do it.
But what Su Bingchang said was wrong was that these wine bottles were not specially presented to Emperor Guangwu, but Emperor Guangwu, who personally came to beg bitterly, so that Lin Chen made a batch for him.
Thinking of Emperor Guangwu, who was highly respected by the people of the Yan Kingdom in later generations, he was like an angry little daughter-in-law begging bitterly, Lin Chen couldn't help laughing.
"With this bottle out of the way, everyone, let's get to the main event. Let's go, the environment here is not suitable for enjoying such a worldly treasure, let's go upstairs! ”
Su Bingchang put on a pair of white gloves, picked up the wine bottle with extra care, and then led everyone out of the wine cellar and came to the second floor of the small building above the ground.
The second floor is like a banquet hall, surrounded by various musical instruments, and even a large drum is placed on the terrace next to it.
So explained that sometimes, he would invite friends to hold a drinking party here, and at the same time invite some bands to perform here.
How happy it is for everyone to enjoy the music and enjoy the wine at the same time.
Today it happened suddenly, otherwise I should have to invite someone to play to help the fun.
"Boss Su, don't say so much! Hurry up, I can't wait! Han Yuanyuan urged.
"Good! Wait a little longer. ”
After that, Boss Su carefully cleaned the wax on the bottle seal.
When the bottle that has been sealed for 100 years is opened, a rich aroma of wine immediately permeates the entire room.
The nose is very different from the aroma of red wine, which is mixed with barrels and corks, clean, pure, with only the mellow aroma of wine.
"Good, good smell!" Han Yuanyuan couldn't help but be intoxicated.
Even Ning Yingran, who didn't know much about wine, was just as exclaimed: "It smells so good!" I've never smelled such a good smell of wine! I didn't expect that the wine of our Yanguo can also have such a strong aroma! ”
"Hehe, Miss Ning, you don't know anything about this!"
Su Bingchang actually smelled the true taste of imperial wine for the first time, and after taking a deep breath greedily, he said: "It is rumored that Guangwu Imperial Wine is actually a mixed wine, when the Restoration Army recovered the old capital, a batch of wine koji used by the royal family was found, and Emperor Guangwu sealed these wine koji and did not use them. ”
"After that, when the army entered Izumo and occupied the capital of Izumo Province, they captured a batch of koji used by the Izumo Imperial Family."
"In the end, Emperor Guangwu mixed these two koji to make this unparalleled imperial wine."
"Therefore, this Guangwu Imperial Wine is actually a treasure created by fusing the imperial wines of two countries, and its fragrance is naturally extraordinary."
"Well, with all that said, it's time for us to taste."
Su Bingchang took out four wine glasses and filled them one by one.
"Come, meeting is fate, although we had some misunderstandings before, but thanks to the three of them, I can make up my mind and taste the delicious food of this world!"
"Cheers!"
……
Just when Lin Chen and the four of them were about to taste the wine, two vans stopped at the entrance of the winery.
From the car, a group of murderous people got down.
Behind them, there is another person, but it is Xu Chao, who has dealt with Lin Chen many times, but he has repeatedly taught him and has not taught him a long lesson.
"Brother Long! My friend told me that this Lin Chen is in this winery now! It's far away from the city, so it's a great opportunity for you to get your hands dirty! Xu Chao looked at the winery in front of him with a resentful expression, and said to a bald man beside him.
