Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 128 Absolutely Talented

What Cui Yiye said was very clear.

"It just means that these are my orders and have nothing to do with other people." Dou Shikuan replied angrily.

"Forget it, forget it, there is always some expense in arranging people to do things. Come." Cui Yiye clapped his hands lightly, and Cui Yiye ordered after a entourage came in: "Prepare another [-] yuan, and I will give it to you later. Dou Shixiong sent it over."

Dou Shikuan didn't say any words of thanks, he got up, punched his fists, and left.

The next day, Jingyang.

Liu Mu received a message from Ye Siniang.

"Who is that?" Liu Mu asked the person who sent the news.I saw the man shaking his head: "I don't know, the man claims to be nameless and nameless, so he came to Chang'an on the recommendation of a friend. He is not a great talent, he is not a great horse, and he claims to be just a donkey, so everyone calls him a skinny donkey." , but a drunkard."

drunkard?

Liu Mu patted his head and recalled all the famous people in the Tang Dynasty, but he couldn't think of anyone who was a drunkard, and he was such a talented person.

no no.Liu Mu shook his head vigorously, all he remembered were famous people, but Chu Tang was an era with countless talents, there must be some he didn't remember.A person who has left a prominent reputation in history is not a dictionary, but a code farmer.

At that moment, Liu Mu asked: "Tell me, he likes wine."

"Yes."

"You go to eat first, then take a rest, and hurry back to Chang'an today." Liu Mu asked the messenger to wait first, then quickly ran to the glass workshop, and found the craftsman: "Old Batou, you can pick me one that is barely worth it." Is it a bottle?"

"Lang Jun, wait, there is a square bottle blown from a set of molds that is barely usable, and I said I will show it to you." When the old Batou was young, his name was Liu Balang. , Now it can be regarded as a person with petty bourgeoisie.

After finding a bottle, Liu Mu went to find the fifth of the top six foremen beside him.

Jiuye.

Mr. Jiu was surnamed Bai, and he was alone in his family. He had no brothers or children, but he was once an imperial winemaker in the imperial palace of the Sui Dynasty, and later became Wang Shichong's first-class winemaker. bit.In this life, there is only wine, and the craft is only wine, so he is called Uncle Jiu, and gradually he is called Jiu Ye.

"Grandpa, make me a bottle of wine." Liu Mu entered the winery with a smile.

This winery was originally owned by Qin Qiong's family, and no military general in this era has kept hundreds of jars of good wine.

"Can the little old man say no?"

"Give me a reason first."

"The new wine has just entered the cellar and has not lost its irritability. Also, Mr. Xiaolang is not afraid that this wine will be known. You will be snatched away long ago before your wedding day." Jiu Ye laughed. The old man squatted by the trough and looked at the newly pressed material.

Liu Mu thought for a while, but still said: "It's okay, Old Fairy Cheng is not here, there are not many people who dare to grab my wine."

"My little old man persuaded me, sir, if you want to mix wine, I will do it right away. Or, sir, if you have a way to pass this limit, then there is still a lot of food in our warehouse, not far from here. The little old man also knows a bigger wine cellar, which is probably still unused."

The limit that Lord Jiu said meant that bootlegging alcohol in the Tang Dynasty was illegal, and there was also a limit for wine brewing in these honorable families.

Willow cared about the wine cellar.

"You mean the cellar?"

"The Great Man's Dionysus Kiln, with your new method of steaming wine, plus the Dionysus Cellar. The little old man is not working in vain."

"Du Kang?" Liu Mu thought of it. Only Baishui County, two hundred miles north from here, has an ancient wine cellar protected in modern times, called Baishui Dukang Cellar.

"Exactly."

"Mix four bottles of wine for me, and I will find a way to limit it, and then get the cellar." Liu Mu wanted the wine cellar, and few people would dare to say that it was an ordinary wine cellar in the modern age of later generations.

When it comes to steaming wine, Liu Mu really underestimated history.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a method of steaming wine, called Shaochun.In the Tang Dynasty, there were already three-distilled and three-brewed wines.But the steaming process is very different from modern times, because in this era, food is very important, and it will not be steamed many times, and pottery is used for steaming wine.The steaming method of sealing iron pans like Liumu was really used in the Song Dynasty.

Bartending is a craft.

Jiu Ye used at least eight kinds of puree wine, plus Liu Mu's ruthlessly steamed super spirit of 45 to [-] degrees.It took Jiuye an hour to keep trying and tasting, and finally he made a barrel of wine with an aroma of about [-] degrees.

When Liu Mu was about to pour it into the glass bottle, Master Jiu stopped him again: "Young Lord, use a clay bottle and then put it in a box with soil. This wine is not good."

"Success, listen to you."

Liu Mu asked a small worker in the wine cellar to carry the wooden box filled with soil from the bottom of the cellar, and then buried the wine bottles to the front yard.

I wrote two very long letters and handed them to the person who sent the news.

"Remember, this box can only be opened by Ye Siniang."

"Yes." The messenger put the letter close to him, tied the wooden box to the saddle, and rode away.

That night, Ye Siniang read the letter first, then opened the box, and saw ten small wine bottles in the box, each containing about eight taels of wine.

(Note: Eight Liang in Tang Dynasty is equivalent to half a catty of wine now.)
Ye Siniang took out one bottle from it, then buried the nine bottles again, and said to the people around her, "Then call a donkey."

Thin Donkey is currently adapting the willow version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but when it comes to the part of Chibi, he gets stuck. He always feels that something is missing in such a grand battle.Hearing Ye Siniang's call, he quickly cleared up the papers on the table, closed the door and came to the middle courtyard.

On the table, there was the wooden box, a bottle of wine, and two letters.

"Taste the wine first."

Ye Siniang personally poured a small cup for the skinny donkey for about two yuan. There is absolutely no such small cup in the Tang Dynasty, and this is a special small cup made of willow wood.

Just smelling the aroma of wine, the donkey's eyes lit up.

After drinking a glass of wine, the skinny donkey's expression became very serious, and he sat upright, holding the letter on the table with both hands.

"Hey, you, who take alcohol as your life, can bear it." Ye Siniang teased the skinny donkey.

But the skinny donkey said: "My master takes such an expensive gift, and I regard it as a hundred-mile donkey, so it should not miss my business."

Speak seriously, act more seriously.

After reading the two letters, the skinny donkey praised: "The master is really a great talent, according to the plan of the master. Please allow me to polish it."

"In this letter, points are counted first and foremost. I believe that the last plan is used first, and the first plan is postponed to the tenth day of the first day. The first step does not require the host to enter the palace, and there is no need to hire someone to do it for you. The host just needs to follow the rules of the court and formally report to the subordinates." Provincially hand over the plea document. At the same time, as a junior, offer your heart."
