Chapter 525: Wine Tasting
Regarding the establishment of the sect, Wu Lai did not give Princess Zining an answer, and Princess Zining did not come to ask. Princess Zining knew that if Wu Lai had made a decision, she would definitely sue Han Xue.
Han Xue didn't seem to care about sectarian matters, she only knew that Wu Lai had decided, and she supported it unconditionally.
In the following days, Wu Lai took out the best Biyuan spring wine he brewed and invited the emperor to come and taste the wine. The emperor was naturally flattered.
"Immortal Master, what kind of wine are you, it's so fragrant!" Smelling the rich aroma of wine, the emperor asked in surprise. In the emperor's opinion, even the imperial wine in the royal cellar is far inferior to the wine in Wu Lai's hands.
Wu Lai said with a smile: "This is Bi Yuanchun, I guess the emperor has heard of it." ”
"Bimoto Haru of Nagano Castle!" exclaimed the emperor.
"Exactly. Wu Lai nodded.
The emperor said suspiciously: "I have drunk Biyuan spring wine, it doesn't seem to be so fragrant." "Every year, Yuebin Lou has to pay some tribute to the royal family, so the emperor drank Bi Yuanchun.
Wu Lai said proudly: "This is brewed by my own hands, last year, I exchanged the brewing method with Li Gui in Nagano Castle and Yuebin Building, and learned the brewing method of Biyuanchun." The wine I make is much better than the nature they make. ”
The emperor patted his ass and said: "That is, the immortal master's mana is boundless, and they naturally can't compare with the immortal master." But he thought to himself: Immortals are different from mortals, they go to make wine by themselves, but the wine they brew can indeed be called immortal wine.
Wu Lai took out dozens of jars of wine and said, "These wines can be called the best Bi Yuanchun, and I will give them to the emperor." However, you have to send me a few jars of imperial wine, although your imperial wine is a little worse than my Bi Yuanchun, but it still tastes good. ”
"That's fine. The emperor immediately instructed the prince to fetch the imperial wine, and after the imperial wine was fetched, Wu Lai was included in the Book of Heaven.
The next day, Wu Lai took out his treasured Moutai wine and invited the emperor to taste the wine together.
"Immortal Master, this kind of wine-" Smelling the peculiar aroma of Moutai, the emperor asked suspiciously.
Wu Lai introduced: "This wine is called Moutai, I used the brewing method of this wine in exchange for the brewing method of Bi Yuanchun, the emperor please taste it." ”
The emperor took a small sip, Moutai wine was in his stomach, his face showed a look of shock, and then he took another small sip, and praised it for a long time: "Good wine, good wine! This wine should only be in the sky, how many times can the world taste it?" Moreover, looking at his expression, it seems that the aftertaste is endless.
Wu Lai said: "This kind of wine is very precious, and I don't have much in stock, but it's naturally no problem to send a few jars to the emperor." In fact, he has a lot of it in his hand, and he also has a set of utensils for brewing Moutai.
"Then thank you, Immortal Master. "The emperor is overjoyed.
On the third day, Wu Lai took out the red wine he got from the blood clan and invited the emperor to come up and taste the wine. This red wine, naturally no less than Louis XIII, is the best among the red wines, the blood family pursues perfection, and the gift to Wu Lai will definitely not be bad, and Wu Lai has a book from heaven, which makes this red wine to a higher level.
The emperor asked curiously, "Immortal Master, is this also wine?" Looking at the strange bottle in Wu Lai's hand, the emperor was very curious.
Wu Lai boasted and said: "Of course, if you look at the color, how positive! That taste, how fragrant! This wine is called red wine, which is made from grapes with their skins, and the fragrance is elegant and beautiful, and the taste is mellow!"
Wu Lai took out a set of glow-in-the-dark cups, then poured a small cup for the emperor and a small cup for himself. The luminous cup is made of excellent Qilian mountain jade and Wushan mandarin duck jade, the decoration is natural, the cup is thin as paper, bright as a mirror, smooth inside and outside, the jade color is transparent and bright, with its wine, sweet and sweet, unchanged for a long time, especially under the moonlight, the cup is bright like water, it seems to have a strange brilliance.
"The best way to taste any wine is to use the appropriate utensils, the so-called grape wine luminous glass! This set of luminous glasses is very valuable, and it is the most suitable for wine tasting. Your Majesty, please try it. "This set of luminous cups was given to Wu Lai by Chairman Li, so naturally it will not be bad.
The emperor unceremoniously picked up the cup, and couldn't wait to pour the wine into his mouth, swallowed it with a "grunt", and then exclaimed: "Good wine!" However, he said in his heart: Why only pour so little?
Wu Lai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when pouring this kind of red wine, there is a particular point in it, that is, don't pour the whole cup to the brim, generally only half a glass is about the same, so I only poured a small glass, it's not that I'm stingy, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
Hearing Wu Lai's words, the emperor's old face turned red and showed shame.
Wu Lai continued: "If you taste other wines, it will be nothing if you pour it in one gulp, but this red wine has a certain tasting method, if you drink it directly. I can't taste the three flavors in this wine! I am particular about drinking wine. ”
Wu Lai brought the wine glass close to his nose, took a deep breath, and then said with an intoxicated face: "Your Majesty, tasting red wine is generally divided into five basic steps: looking, shaking, smelling, tasting and aftertaste. Coloring is the evaluation of the appearance of a red wine, mainly including color, clarity, concentration and luster, and many people can judge the age of the wine from these aspects. In general, new wines have a clear and vivid color, aged wines have a slight yellowish-brown color, and orange-red wines indicate that they have expired. This shaking step is very important, holding the base of the glass, and constantly shaking the wine in the glass so that the wine hangs on the wall of the glass. Shaking releases some of the components in the wine, allowing the air to merge with the red wine, maximizing the unique aromas of the red wine, which is also the decanting process of the aged wine. ”
Wu Lai poured another small glass for the emperor and said to him: "Your Majesty, if you do what I say, you will definitely feel the taste of wine." ”
The emperor did as Wu Lai said suspiciously, and in the end, he was intoxicated: "Immortal Master, this wine is really mellow and flawless, and it is endlessly memorable!"
"Hehe, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Wu Lai looked at the emperor with a smile.
The emperor said with emotion: "I have been drinking wine for so many years, and these few days have been an eye-opener. By the way, Immortal Master, do you have something to look for, it shouldn't be as simple as just drinking, right?" "Invite the emperor to drink for three consecutive days, and take out the best wine, even a fool can see that Wu Lai has something to find the emperor."
Wu Lai didn't hide it either, and said: "There is indeed something I want to trouble the emperor." ”
Although the emperor knew that what Wu Lai was going to say must be a big deal, he still said: "If the immortal master has something to say, please say it directly, you don't have to be polite to me." ”
What is Wu Lai looking for the emperor?
