Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 408 Drinking Fine Wine

Han Yunpeng hugged Su Chen's arm enthusiastically, but he was so excited, after a month of separation, he didn't even have a decent brother to play with him.

Ever since he became friends with Su Chen, Han Xiaopang suddenly felt that the other cronies were too low-level.

At least Su Chen can take him to eat and drink well, and he is motivated to make money. He often finds out all kinds of strange things, and he is also extremely talented. When he is with him, he will always be able to make money. few.

Where can I find such a sworn brother, so Han Yunpeng really regards Su Chen as a righteous brother, closer than his own brother.

"Brother Su, since you left for a month, I don't think about food and drink, I can't sleep at night, and I'm getting thinner day by day. I only hope that you will come back soon!" Han Yunpeng expressed his pain of missing here.

Su Chen looked at Han Yunpeng whose face was getting bigger and bigger, and whose eyes were getting smaller and smaller, and said suspiciously: "Why do I think that you're getting fat again?"

"My brother, it is definitely an illusion, please take a good look at me brother!"

Han Yunpeng smiled awkwardly, his eyes narrowed into a line.

"Don't be poor, sit down!"

Su Chen asked Han Yunpeng to sit down, ready to start the banquet.

The table is full of delicacies, all of which are Bairunlou's signature dishes and specialties.

There are also several types of wine, including clear-flavored and strong-flavored liquor, fruit wine, rice wine, etc.

However, due to the influence of distillation technology, the alcohol content in ancient times is generally not high. Most of them are between [-]% and [-]% alcohol, and there are very few wines with more than [-]% alcohol.

After Su Chen used the distillation technique, the wine could be raised to 38 degrees, or even 42 degrees, and the taste of the new wine was obviously different.

Especially the 52% Luzhou-flavor liquor is the best degree for Luzhou-flavor liquor.

Su Chen suffocated all his energy, intending to brew the best quality liquor. In fact, the target was the 52-degree Luzhou-flavor Wuliangye liquor.

Among the wine ingredients announced by later generations, there are five best ingredients: sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, and corn. However, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was no corn, so Su Chen used peas to replace part of the role of corn.

Su Chen asked: "Susu, is there any finished product for the newly brewed Wuliangyuye?"

Bai Susu said: "There are a lot of brews, but only a little bit of the ones that have been purified to meet your required craftsmanship and degree."

"Haha, bring me a small jar, I'll ask Mr. Meng to taste it, maybe this kind of wine can be sent to Sichuan in the future." Su Chen laughed.He thought of a business. If the Shu Kingdom does not perish, at least the royal family, dignitaries, and squires can afford his newly brewed Wuliang Yuye wine with the economy of Shu.

Bai Susu doesn't know the identity of Mr. Meng for the time being, but she tends to accept Su Chen's words more. After hearing the words, she nods her head, and immediately orders her maid, Xiao Tong, to go downstairs to find shopkeeper Kong, and fetch a bottle of Wuliang Yuye wine that has not been stored in the cellar for a long time. .

Meng Xuanyu was a little surprised and said, "Brother Su, still knows how to make wine?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "It's just a little bit, brother Meng can taste it."

Meng Xuanyu nodded slightly. He was already full of curiosity about Su Chen, and he knew his talents. As long as he created things, most of them were unique in this world and had never appeared before. Looking forward and curious, how different this wine will be, and whether it can compare with the royal wine of the Shu Palace.

When Peng Qingqing heard that there was wine, his eyes lit up naturally, and he asked happily, "Wuliang Yuye, is it good?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "You'll know after you taste it."

Han Yunpeng said: "The creation of brother Yi must be a good thing. I want to eat wine."

In an instant, Xiao Tong came over with a small jar of wine, and under Su Chen's signal, he opened the sealed wine lid, and a mellow wine fragrance wafted into the private room.

"It smells so mellow!"

Meng Xuanyu is also a person who knows wine, just smelling the smell of wine, he can already feel the aroma of wine.

The smell of good wine is completely different from the smell of ordinary wine. There are many details, and only those who really understand wine can perceive the differences.

Peng Qingqing took a deep breath, her eyes lit up, and she praised: "The aroma of this wine alone surpasses all the wines I have ever drunk before."

Su Chen explained: "Of course, this is the newly brewed Wuliangyuye, which is brewed from five different raw materials through multiple processes. It is better than the wine I distilled and synthesized by simple distillation in the yard and wine shop before. The quality is much higher, and everyone can taste it.”

Su Chen asked the maid Xiao Tong to pour a glass for Meng Xuanyu, Peng Qingqing, and Han Yunpeng each.

"I'll have a cup too." Bai Susu, as a person with a very talented business mind, plans to taste it herself, and she can have an accurate understanding and judgment on it.

"And me!" Talented Xu also became curious. The truly talented people in ancient times would more or less drink and taste wine. Wine and poetry and literature are inextricably linked.

Li Bai's "Hundred Poems on Wine Fighting" is the most famous. Among the gorgeous poems he wrote in his life, many of his masterpieces include words about wine.For example, "five-flowered horses, thousands of gold, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell the eternal sorrow with you", which was written sweatingly and has been recited through the ages.

Cao Cao, Du Fu, Tao Yuanming, Du Mu, Li He and other writers and poets all wrote many famous poems.

As a talented woman, Xu Qingwan is naturally familiar with the allusions of these poems and wine.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen became even more excited, and the atmosphere was joyful, perfect for drinking.

After everyone fills their glasses, it's time to drink.

As the host, Bai Susu said with a smile on her face: "Brother Chen, Qingqing, it's rare to return to Runzhou together, this banquet should be a welcome for you."

"Come on, let's drink together!"

At the banquet, except for Ling'er, the rest of the people raised their glasses and drank. Although the wine was the same, everyone had different expressions and even different experiences.

It was the first time for Peng Qingqing, Meng Xuanyu, Xu Qingwan, Bai Susu, and Han Yunpeng to taste 52-degree Luzhou-flavor liquor. The texture and taste surprised them all.

The wine has a strong aroma, clear and refreshing, and a long aftertaste. It is much stronger than the wine I drank before!

Standing behind Meng Xuanyu, Wei Ying was also a drinker. At this moment, she was so greedy that she pouted, looking eager to see through, and asked behind her: "Your Highness, do you want to drink?"

Meng Xuanyu ignored him, turned his eyes to Su Chen, and said with a look of surprise: "This is really the craft you proposed, can you make such fine wine?"

"Well, this wine should be worth a lot of money! Mr. Su and Mrs. Bai plan to increase mass production and send it to all parts of the Central Plains. In the future, they will rely on it to make a fortune and make a fortune. It's gone." Su Chen couldn't help it, and revealed his "money-loving" side again.
