Chapter 289: Wine Tasting (Part II)
"Shopkeeper, you get up, there is a way, that is, the fourth wine I said, it will be passed on to you, why be polite, but a trivial matter!"
Wu Song picked up the shopkeeper, and there was a strange look in the shopkeeper's eyes, like anger, like surprise, and like sadness!
"It's a trivial matter, haha, a trivial matter! Do you know that this trivial matter is related to the glory of the old man's family, which has made the old man think hard for seventeen years, and he has a sad face all day long, and it is also for the little things you said!"
Wu Song didn't know why he was so excited, and said apologetically: "It's the villain who lost his words." ”
"Dutou didn't lose his words, but the old man was too excited!" The shopkeeper said: "I think back then, my Chen family tavern, well-known in the capital, a gold-lettered signboard, written: 'Palace Imperial Wine', what a scenery, the tribute palace is this snake wine!"
"Oh....."
Everyone exclaimed, I didn't know that the shopkeeper had such a glorious past, and it was also strange why he ended up selling wine on this Mengzhou Road.
"It's a pity that the father died of a sudden illness, and failed to pass down the ultimate mystery of the snake wine, although the snake wine made by the villain is not bad, it just can't satisfy the officials who receive the tribute, in the old man's dream, he will be awakened by the four words of the official, 'the wine smells fishy', if the head of the capital can tell the way to remove the fish, let the Chen family tavern rebuild its former glory, the old man is dead, you can also smile!"
"Shopkeeper, your wine is not fishy at all, don't believe it, you can try it. ”
Everyone listened to the words of the wine taster, and they were not polite, they all rushed to drink, especially the altar that Wu Song said could be aphrodisiac, and he drank it all at once, and the shopkeeper didn't mind, if he could solve the problem of removing the fish, he would give away all the wine in the tavern to drink, and he was also willing.
"Shopkeeper, this wine is not fishy!"
"yes, it's not fishy at all. ”
"Why isn't it fishy, I drank a little fishy, it's just a little, not very strong. ”
The crowd was arguing, some saying that there was no fishy smell, and some said that there was a little fishy smell.
The shopkeeper put his hands together and said: "Okay, you don't have to argue, there is a fishy smell in this wine, but it can only be drunk by people with a particularly sensitive sense of taste, the emperor's sense of taste is not sensitive, whether it can be drunk or not, we dare not guess, but as far as our group of people, there are also people who can drink it, can this be dedicated to the emperor?"
Everyone listened to it, and they all understood that all the food that was paid tribute to the emperor was identified by special people, and those people had a common characteristic, that is, the tongue was particularly sensitive, called the "emperor's tongue", even if there was a little flaw in the food, they could know it, and naturally they could not give it to the emperor
Everyone suddenly stopped, and they all looked at Wu Song, Wu Song naturally understood what everyone meant, and they all had to listen to him tell him the secret of removing the fishy smell.
Wu Song haha and said: "Shopkeeper, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is not a mystery, when you soak the snake wine, you can add a snake." ”
"What snake?" said the shopkeeper nervously.
"Over the Tree Banyan!"
The crowd of onlookers burst into a wild laugh, and everyone thought that Wu Song was teasing the shopkeeper.
"Haha, it's just an ordinary snake, all snake catchers don't bother to catch it, the whole body is full of bones, basically no meat, and it's not poisonous, you're kidding!"
"Yes, even if the snake is a person who has nothing to eat, he doesn't bother to catch it and eat it!"
"That snake is the least valuable, if you want to buy it, you can buy one or two hundred catties for one or two hundred pounds, how can you give this kind of thing to the emperor to eat!"
Everyone laughed for a while, but an old man scolded: "You young people don't understand, but in fact, the snake is a treasure!"
When everyone heard this, they thought that the old man was talking back, so they laughed and said, "What is the treasure?"
"All children, from birth to a few years old, have a lot of poisonous gas, heat poison, and damp poison on their bodies, in short, they are afraid of their parents.....
Everyone listened to him seriously, and knew that he was not teasing Wu Song, so they all quieted down and listened.
"The older generation of people who know how to handle the story will catch this kind of snake, after peeling, the snake meat and snake bones will be chopped up, pinched into meatballs, used to make soup, children only need to drink three or two sips, whether it is hot poison or wet poison, will be removed. ”
"Nowadays people don't understand this truth, one is afraid of trouble, the other is that the more valuable things, the more effective, but I don't know that this can be grasped, not worth the sun, there is such a good effect, if it is not forty or fifty years ago, when my little son was born, his whole body was covered with prickly heat, my uncle, who is a snake catcher, taught me this method, I really don't know. ”
When everyone heard this, they all talked in a low voice, Wu Song smiled but did not speak, and the shopkeeper muttered in a low voice: "Yes, when I was a child, I often saw that my father would catch some banyan trees and come back, so I asked, what are the worthless snakes for, he seems to have told me that it is used to soak wine, but I forgot." ”
Wu Song laughed and said: "Shopkeeper, this is not a mystery, nor is your father unwilling to teach, but everyone who brews snake wine is in the pursuit of how to catch strange poisonous snakes, how to obtain precious medicinal materials, and that fierce little beast, but they have forgotten the most basic, all poisonous snake wine must be accompanied by a non-poisonous banyan tree, or this is the most basic truth, your father thinks that there is no need to explain to you at all, you would have been." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he suddenly realized, couldn't help laughing, and suddenly cried again: "Hey, I have pursued the best snake wine all my life, but I have forgotten the most basic things, and it has taken seventeen years for this, and now I am dying, and it will take fifteen years to make another jar of good wine, how can I live for fifteen years and see the glory of tribute wine!"
Wu Song shook his head, took Pan Jinlian's hand, left the tavern, and said with a smile: "This person is to give him the honor of enjoying the tribute imperial wine, and he will not be satisfied, looking at it troublesome!"
Pan Jinlian said with a smile: "People are not satisfied, you have to think about it, I left the big family that day just to live a stable life, and I want to live a stable life with my eldest brother and want to be rich, and I want to be .....loved by someone to live a rich life."
"How can you be considered greedy, Nuwa is a human being, giving people all kinds of feelings, that is, people can be prosperous, giving people a sense of taste and making people feel delicious, so that they can eat and survive, and give people a sense of joy between men and women, that is, let people be happy with this, so that they can reproduce....."
"Poof! you're not serious at all!"
"Oh, isn't this the head of Wudu? Haha, no matter what, I have to go into the small shop and drink three bowls of good wine!"
While the two were talking, a bartender ran out and took Wu Song's hand very kindly.
"How do you know that he is the head of Wudu?" Pan Jinlian couldn't help but ask in place of Wu Song.
"How can I not know that in the first tavern, Dutou taught them the secrets of selling wine, and in the second tavern, taught them the secrets of winemaking, and the villain only knew the name of Dutou, why should I invite you in and give me some advice!" 14410
