Chapter 288: Wine Tasting (I)
"Little Second Brother, how do you recognize me?" Wu Song stood in place, unwilling to take a step.
Xiao Er said with a smile: "Dutou, Mengzhou Road is the main road that the world's merchants must pass through, don't look at the villain is a countryman, but the world's heroes are a lot of knowledge, in the past three or two months, but all the officials who brought the guy on their bodies did not discuss the fight against Tiger Wusong." ”
"When it comes to fighting the tiger Wu Song, there is no one who does not give a thumbs up, recently I heard that Dutou came to Mengzhou, with a beautiful flower around him, just a villain looked, the head of the god is majestic, Mrs. Xi Shi is reincarnated, except for Wu Song and his wife, there is no second one in the world....."
Xiao Er chattered and praised, if he just praised Wu Song for how he was like this, Wu Song would be very disdainful and walked straight over, anyway, there was a tavern in front of him, but he praised Pan Jinlian, the situation was very different, Wu Song was happy in his heart, and sat down.
Xiao Er saw Wu Song sit down, and his uneasy expression immediately changed to like a boiled dog's head, just seeing his teeth, as if he had picked up gold.
"Dutou, this is the newly opened wine of the small shop, it only sells a word of mouth today, no cashier, and is limited to three bowls!"
Wu Song didn't speak, raised his neck, drank the three bowls of wine, and Xiao Er smiled and said, "Dutou, how is it?"
"You are a snake wine, the color is yellow like honey, poured out of the wine jug, viscous as rice cereal, the entrance is smooth, after tasting, there is a little fishy smell, well, this wine has been soaked for more than fifteen years, less than twenty years!"
"Oh, is Dutou's tongue the emperor's tongue?" Xiao Er's exclamation, Wu Song and Pan Jinlian both saw that it was from their hearts, completely different from the smile that greeted them just now, with a hint of surprise in his joy, he hurriedly ran to the counter.
Pan Jinlian smiled in her heart: "In Tianshen Village, I joked that Erlang grew up soaking in a wine jar, and now it seems that it is not false at all, he can even drink wine for many years." ”
She naturally didn't know that Wu Song often drank with Yang Shu in Yanggu County, Yang Shu was a good at catching snakes, and brewing snake wine was naturally a must, he knew that Wu Song loved wine, so he talked about what he knew, Wu Song listened with great interest, and kept it all in mind.
"It's polite!" the shopkeeper came uninvited, sat down without greeting, his hands clasped into fists as a salute, his face was expectant, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, he was very nervous, just like waiting for his wife who gave birth to ten daughters in a row to give birth to the eleventh child, he forced his composure: "If I soak this snake wine for more than twenty years, will it skim the fishy smell?"
"Can't!"
Pan Jinlian couldn't help but wonder when she heard this: "Didn't you say that this wine has a fishy smell, because it has not been soaked for 20 years, and at this moment you say that it has a fishy smell after soaking for more than 20 years, isn't it a contradiction." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed, stood up and bowed, and said, "Please give me advice." ”
Pan Jinlian pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't understand the reason, but she also knew that Wu Song had said what the shopkeeper was thinking.
The shopkeeper was originally entrusted by someone to invite Wu Song to drink three bowls of good wine, that person was kind to him, and naturally he wanted to take the best wine, he brewed snake wine for generations, and he has always paid tribute to the palace.
He also has a deep inheritance of his father, his father died of a sudden illness, he inherited the family business, and the snake wine he brewed was obviously the same as his father's, but the officials in charge of collecting the tribute wine always said that his wine had a fishy smell, not his father's taste.
He thought that the officials wanted to bribe, sent silver, or like that, he himself could not taste the fishy smell, so he invited a few wine masters to come over, and the results all said that his wine had a fishy smell, the palace did not ask for his snake wine for more than ten years, he was also looking for a way to make snake wine everywhere, but it was in vain, at this moment he heard that Wu Song could taste the fishy smell of his own wine, and couldn't help but move, this was his wish for many years, just want his snake wine to become a tribute wine, reshape the glory of the ancestors.
"Shopkeeper, how many of the four snake wines can you brew?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, his heart was shocked: "I can meet the immortal in the wine today!"
"Dutou!" the shopkeeper saluted again: "The villain can only make three kinds of snake wine, and the ancestors are also three, and there is no fourth." ”
Pan Jinlian knew that Wu Song had never said anything too much, but the shopkeeper in front of him was over seventy years old, and he also said that the snake wine was ancestral, and he should have at least a hundred years of experience, Wu Song was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, how could he know one more brewing method than the shopkeeper!
"You take out all three kinds of wine!"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came out with three jars of wine, and Wu Song took three wine bowls, each carrying a kind of wine.
The guests in the tavern heard Wu Song and the shopkeeper talking about wine, and they all came to watch, only to see that the three bowls of wine, the color is the same, as sweet and yellow as honey, gently moved, the surface of the wine is round by round, it seems to be very viscous, even if you put a chopstick on it, you can float.
"Shopkeeper, this wine is so viscous that it can be used as a meal in one bowl!" someone teased.
Wu Song smiled slightly, dipped a little wine with chopsticks, the wine hung on the chopsticks, yellow and bright, very good-looking, the wine fell on the table at once, quickly dispersed, and became a water line.
The man said strangely: "This wine looks viscous, but it is actually no different from ordinary wine!"
Wu Song said with a smile: "This is the wonder of snake wine, soaking snake wine, the more poisonous the snake, the better, and can not pull out the fangs, snake venom dissolves in the wine, it becomes this golden yellow, looks like a jade liquid, drink it smooth as silk, snake venom through the fermentation of wine, has become a substance beneficial to the body, even if you drink one or two hundred catties, it will not poison people, and it will not get drunk." ”
The shopkeeper was very happy to hear Wu Song tell him the mystery of snake wine, but this is all a general truth, he only wants to hear the most profound truth.
"Dutou, you quickly tell me why my snake wine smells fishy and how to get rid of it. ”
Wu Song smiled slightly: "Which brother is willing to taste these three bowls of snake wine!"
"I'm coming!" The man who spoke just now was very refreshing, picked up the first bowl of snake wine and drank it all, and sighed: "Good wine, the wine tastes very fragrant, but it doesn't choke your throat, and it is very useful to drink it in your stomach, and if you drink him one or two hundred catties, you won't ..... Ahem.... Ahem....."
"Brother, do you feel that your throat is dry and a little painful?" Wu Song said with a smile.
"No.... Ahem.... Not bad!"
"This is concocted with poisonous snakes and spirits, the effect of snake wine is to remove rheumatism, how to get rid of rheumatism, to put it bluntly, it is to rely on a masculine gas in the wine, all masculinity is sexual heat, so you will have a sore throat, please drink the second bowl!"
The man hurriedly drank the second bowl of wine, and couldn't help but shout: "My throat doesn't hurt anymore!"
"The second bowl of wine, when soaked, is filled with herbs to reconcile the fierce masculinity, hot but not rushed, so it can make your throat comfortable, please drink the third bowl. ”
The man hurriedly drank the third bowl of wine, and his expression was very strange: "It's weird, it's weird, how do I feel hot all over, it's very different from the condition of the sore throat just now." ”
"The third bowl of wine, when soaking, added other animals, such as squirrels, wild boars, bamboo rats, so that the original rheumatism wine has a little more aphrodisiac effect, brother, if you have already asked for a wife, she will be so gentle to you tonight, haha, hahaha!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and when Pan Jinlian heard it, her pretty face turned red, she lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at people.
Thump!
The shopkeeper suddenly knelt down: "Dutou, please instruct the villain, how to get rid of the fishy smell in the wine, the villain has entered the ancient years, and he is about to enter the wood, and he has nothing to ask for, but because of this, even if he dies, he has no face to face the ancestors and ancestors!" 10
