The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 384 Wine Tasting
Mid-autumn is a day for family reunion, and this day is also the day when wines from the winery go on sale.

The wines listed for sale this time are naturally not the best quality wines, but the wines obtained by pressing.

Originally, Su Yunduo didn't want to be in such a hurry to go on the market. After all, the quality of the wine produced in such a short period of time is still far behind even the worst wine Su Yunduo tasted in his previous life.

However, after Lu Jinkang tasted the first batch of wine that Su Yunduo brought into the city, when the winery started to separate the skins, he made a special trip to Zhuangzi to taste the fully fermented wine, but he insisted on taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival List a batch of wines.

Faced with Su Yunduo's objection, Lu Jinkang specially brought her several kinds of wine, among which was the wine that the Persian Kingdom paid tribute to Dongling. This kind of wine was the best wine that Dongling Country could have before.

Lu Jinkang also brought a set of tall glazed wine glasses that were also tributed by the Persian Kingdom. This set of wine glasses is not so much glazed glass as glass, but it is not as transparent and pure as the glass that is thousands of years later, but it is already very It's not bad.

Pour different wines into the glass, and you can distinguish the good from the bad just by looking at the color.

Lin Erfu, who came with Lu Jinkang, finally returned to the winery when the wine was opened and filtered.

Seeing the wine in the glass at this moment, Lin Erfu's eyes staring at the wine glass were a little scary, like a thousand-year-old alcoholic who saw the wine as if he saw his ancestors.It made Su Yunduo laugh out loud.

Lu Jinkang didn't specify which wine would be the next tribute and which wine was produced in the winery, but only signaled Su Yunduo to come forward to taste the quality of these wines.

Since Su Yunduo secretly brewed wine when he was in college, he is naturally a good drinker and has some common sense of grape wine tasting. He took a step forward and stood in front of this row of wine glasses, closed his eyes and calmed down, and served it after a while. Pick up the first wine glass, shake it gently, let the wine fully contact with the air, and then put the wine glass to the ray of sunlight from the window, the deep red and purple wine is very beautiful under the sunlight, this wine is still young , if it can be hidden in the wine kiln for some time, the color will be more beautiful.

The color of this glass of wine is not bad, put the glass back in front of the nose and take a deep breath, a strong aroma of grapes rushes straight to the nose, and after careful tasting, there is a hint of oak fragrance that explodes in Su Yunduo's mind.

This may be the wine produced by his own winery, but this is only Su Yunduo's guess, but there is no way to be sure.

At that time, when the matter was by no means sure about the origin of the wine, I continued to taste the wine.

Take a sip of the wine into your mouth, let the wine stay in your mouth for a while, let it roll on the tip of your tongue, and then take a deep breath to let your senses fully experience the taste of the wine. around.

Su Yunduo nodded, then shook his head again.

Although this wine is not a high-quality wine, it is still a good wine. Unfortunately, it has not been brewed for a long time. The real good wine still needs to be stored in the kiln for a period of time. If you taste it again next year at this time, the taste will definitely be improved.

Su Yunduo rinsed his mouth and rested for a while, and began to taste the second glass of wine. Compared with the first glass of wine, this glass of wine was much weaker, and even gave Su Yunduo the feeling of adding white water to the wine, so he couldn't help shaking his head, frowning He couldn't help but frowned slightly, and didn't swallow the wine he took, but spit it directly into the mouthwash bowl.

If this is considered wine, then the previous glass of wine can really be regarded as a superb wine.

After some tasting, Su Yunduo found out that among the five kinds of wine brought by Lu Jinkang, there was a wine of better quality than the first glass.

Su Yunduo thought carefully, if she guessed correctly, the wine with the best quality was the first barrel of artesian wine that she brought back to the city and sent to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and the first one to taste was from her own winery. Get close to the freshly brewed artesian wine.

Of course, before the answer was revealed, Su Yunduo didn't dare to make too much noise. He just rearranged the five wines in order of quality according to the results of his own tasting, and waited quietly for Lu Jinkang and Lin Erfu to reveal the answer.

The answer is just as Su Yunduo guessed, the one named No.1 by Su Yunduo is the first batch of artesian wine in his own winery. At the beginning, Su Yunduo packed it in oak barrels and sent it to the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, which has been stored in the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion. In the wine kiln.

No.2 is the latest artesian wine produced by the winery.

No.3 is the pressed wine produced by the own brewery.

No.4 is the wine that Persia paid tribute to the Holy Majesty.

The glass of wine that Su Yunduo couldn't swallow was the wine that was brought back from Persia by the businessman and was looted on the market.

Although the result was within Su Yunduo's expectation, it was still somewhat puzzling. Su Yunduo expressed surprise.

She has always thought that even if the wine that Persia can pay tribute to is not an excellent wine, it should be good wine, but the result is not as good as the pressed wine in her own winery. Is this because the winemaking process is not in place, or is it the wine that Persia paid tribute to? Just regular wine.

But this is not something that Su Yunduo should care about. Now Su Yunduo understands why Lu Jinkang came to Huayang Street that night when she sent wine to the Duke of Zhenguo, telling her like a warning that she must not drink wine. The wine leaked out, even if it was only a poor press wine.

Now it seems that Lu Jinkang or Duke Zhen must have tasted the wine and found that the quality of the wine was so different from the Persian tribute wine, so Lu Jinkang specially issued a warning to her.

The batch of wine that Su Yunduo brought back to the capital from Zhuangzi was not much in volume, and the total amount of artesian wine and pressed wine was less than [-] catties.

This one-hundred-jin artesian wine weighs about sixty catties. Su Yunduo specially took five catties for the old lady Lu who suffers from insomnia, and asked the old lady to drink a small cup every day when she fell asleep to promote her sleep. All the more than 50 catties of artesian wine that I bought were sent to the Zhen Guogong Mansion, and I didn't keep a drop in my house.

The pressed wine was only about [-] catties, and half of it was given to the Zhenguo government, and the remaining more than [-] catties were left for Su Chengzhi and Ning to have a drink when they were free, which was considered her filial piety.

Su Chengzhi heard from the side that the small glass of wine that his husband and wife drank every day could be sold for dozens or even hundreds of taels a catty, and he called it a waste.

"Father, two days ago you told me that after drinking wine, my sleep quality improved a lot, so how can it be considered a waste?!" Su Yunduo was a little unhappy.

Shouldn't the body be better than anything else?

Seeing that Su Yunduo was pouting unhappy, Su Chengzhi said with a sneer, "Hey, Duo Duo is right, it's not a waste, it's not a waste. It's just that you can't let your mother know about it. If you let her know, it's not just about waste." , maybe I have to cry out that my heart hurts!"

As soon as Su Chengzhi finished speaking, he heard Ning's voice outside the study: "What can't I know?"

Following the sound, Ning walked in with Mother Chen and Ban Xia carrying the newly baked mooncakes.

Su Chengzhi didn't expect to be caught by Ning Shi, and while beckoning Su Yunduo to help him, he cupped his fists and bowed to Ning Shi, which made Lu Jinkang and Lin Erfu laugh.

When Ning Shi learned the value of the wine they drank these days, she was a little dumbfounded at first, and then smiled and said: "If it is really a waste, I will feel sorry for it. This wine is expensive, but it is Duo Duo's filial piety, Besides, it is also good for our bodies, so naturally it should not be wasted.”

Ning's ability to see so clearly is really impressive. Mrs. Lu's training/teaching of Ning's is still very effective.
