Baolu Tianxing

After a while, Da Ya brought over a few bottles of green plum wine. I don't know how long it has been brewing, but the wine juice has a yellow waxy texture with a transparent texture.

"Good stuff!" Da Ya only praised it as soon as he entered the door, "This wine is already viscous, it can be shredded when it drips! How old is it!"

Hearing what he said, Lao Zhang smiled, blinked his eyes, and said proudly: "I can't say how many years, it depends on your luck, maybe you can drink the original flavor from decades ago. !"

"What do you mean? You can't have this wine since you were a child, right?" Da Ya was startled when he heard that. Could it be bloody wine?Even if it is a serious Moutai, completely sealed, it can't stand being put on hold like this, so something will come out of it, right?

"That's right, and it's not!" Lao Zhang was still playing tricks, but his wife couldn't stand it anymore, and said a lot.

It turns out that their old Zhang family has lived here since no one knows when. Apart from tinkering with the fields, they also occasionally go hunting in the mountains and get some fruit trees. Therefore, they have the habit of brewing fruit wine for generations. A large and small wine vat, the wine in it has not been broken. After a few years, I will open some to drink, but I don’t drink it completely, but keep a base as a wine introduction. When it is almost done, I will add wine and green plums. Go in, keep sealed, and keep in a cool place.

This tradition was almost broken during the era of great turmoil, especially the time of famine. In the era of food shortages and people starving to death everywhere, where is the ability to make wine?His father, who is also an old man, is eye-catching. He sealed up several vats early in the past and buried them deep in the mountains. In addition, their generation was not very populated back then, and the villagers in the village were still very friendly to each other. Wu Dou survived.

Later, Lao Zhang took out these crocks and cans, and refilled them with wine!I don't know how many years of different plum wines have been mixed in it, so Lao Zhangtou said so.

There is such an allusion?Da Ya slapped his thigh and shouted again and again, "Legendary! Absolutely legendary!"

Wu Chen and Wang Yuyuan looked at each other, and felt that it was unbelievable. With a thought, he suddenly asked, "Ma'am, can you take me to see your wine too?"

As soon as Wu Chen said this, not only Wang Yuyuan was a little surprised, but even Da Ya looked at him suspiciously. This wood has never liked to drink, what happened today?Are these old wines also antiques?

Thinking about it this way, it's also possible. Listening to what old Zhangtou said, these wines have been dripping for hundreds of years, right?According to the grading of foreign wine, it is definitely up to XO, or even XXOO level!It's okay to say it's a hundred-year-old wine, but it's just that if they toss it like this, there won't be much wine left.

Lao Zhang thought that Wu Chen had taken a fancy to his wine, but this is not the first time, as far as his big vats of old wine are concerned, the boss kept asking him. A few days ago, the old man paid 30 Once sold a tank, the requirement is to save some wine base.

Wang Yuyuan was not interested in this wine, so she accompanied the aunt and the little girl who led them, chatting in the main room. Wu Chen and Da Ya followed Lao Zhangtou to a small dark room next door. In the room, the loess ground was full of sundries, and there were old dustpans on several wooden shelves.In a corner of the room, there are several jars of different heights and sizes. As soon as you approach, you can smell a faint scent of wine, which is not offensive at all.

The front one looked like a large water tank, 1.2 meters high, reaching up to the navel of a person. It was covered with a wooden cover, and the top and sides were tightly wrapped with rags and nylon paper.

"What a big mouthful!"

The lights were dim, so Wu Chen took a look and saw that the tank was just an ordinary large water tank. In the past, almost every household in the countryside had one of these tanks. go.

"It's this vat, it's just opened!" Da Ya followed behind him, pointing to a tile vat next to him that was about half a person's height and looked a bit like a large waist drum. Seeing is believing, the wine inside is that It's an old wine, if Wu Chen really wants it, he would suggest buying this jar, and the shape of this tank is tall but not wide, so it's convenient to put in the car.

"Yeah!" Wu Chen squatted down and tapped the surface of the vat with his hands, his voice was dull, obviously it was full of wine.Because of the long-term soaking in fruit wine, the exterior has a layer of cold moisture.

"Hehe, they're all about the same, only the difference is in size, and they're all about the same age!" Old Zhang bowed his head and followed behind them. Seeing Wu Chen watching carefully, he thought he was picking wine, so he explained to him.

"Well, I just took a look." Wu Chen stood up and said lightly, a little disappointed in his heart. It seems that these big vats are indeed old, but most of them are used in rural areas, and there are even some made after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Yes, in terms of value, it is almost negligible.

Just like that big water tank, there were many boys in their village. When they were young, boys like this would help adults fetch water and fill the tanks. This was a daily job they had to do.Even though most people now dig a small well in their own home and use a pump, there are still many people who keep such large water storage tanks.Whether it’s expensive or not, if you really want it, it’s worth a few hundred dollars, and you can carry it away.

"Don't worry about him, he just has this gritty energy." Da Ya was also a little impatient, isn't it just a jar of wine?It's not like buying Moutai in the market, and I'm afraid of picking up fakes!

Wu Chen turned around and smiled at them, pointed to the tank that was opened just now, and said, "Or..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped. It turned out that beside this tank, there was another strange looking tank. Because of the lighting, I didn't notice it just now.

Ordinary tanks pay attention to closing the mouth and belly, which is not only easy to seal, but also increases the volume.But this mouth looks like an opening, a bit like a skimming bowl, but the scale is much larger. At first glance, it is about 70 centimeters high, but the radius of the mouth must be more than one meter, and it is gradually trimmed downwards. When it reaches the foot, the radius is estimated to be only sixty or seventy centimeters.

This kind of tank with an open slope and a large "mouth-to-height ratio" is often a common standard. In Wu Chen's impression, very few folks use this so-called large tank that is not practical. A missed baby, huh?

But when Wu Chen squatted down to check, he almost couldn't help laughing, and immediately felt a sense of self-mockery.
