Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 55 The best wine in the world

(Thanks for the support.!)
"The best wine in the world.?"

Quan Wanji's sentence of "the best wine in the world" immediately attracted all the heroes present today. To be honest, this Quan Wanji is really caring, and he is really single-minded towards Li Youna.

Didn't Li You give him two bottles of Jiannanchun last night?

You must know that Quan Wanji also likes to drink two cups, but when he found out that Jiannanchun is a good wine, he immediately stopped drinking, but immediately thought of serving Li You at today's portrait hanging ceremony. do something.

Sure enough, after Quan Wanji used the best wine in the world to describe Jian Nanchun, someone immediately showed curiosity.

"What kind of good wine is Quan Shilang that you say is the best in the world?" The first one who couldn't help it was Cheng Yaojin, this old man couldn't move a little when he heard the wine.

"Hehe...!" Someone answered, and Quan Wanji quickly started to speak for Li You.

"Jian Nanchun!" Quan Wanji said while taking out two porcelain bottles, one of which was a catty of wine: "King Qi said that he had done many wrong things to his uncles in the past.

Although he now knows that he was wrong, he has no way to apologize to his uncles, so King Qi asked the old minister to bring you two bottles of good wine! "

As he spoke, Jian Nanchun immediately opened the wine cork, only to hear a 'boo'.

Originally, Li Tai wanted to make Quan Wanji sour. After all, Quan Wanji spoke up for Li You so much, which made him a little unhappy, and the best wine in the world also made Li Tai unhappy.

But just when Li Tai was about to say something sour, suddenly the two porcelain bottles of Jiannanchun gave off a strong aroma. This strong aroma made Li Shimin slightly surprised.

Everyone knows that the people of the Tang Dynasty are good at wine, not only military generals, but also literati and inkmen. Wei Zheng, who just died, was actually very good at making wine. He was not only good at admonishing, but also good at learning from Hu people.

So Li Shimin admired the wine he made after drinking it, and wrote a poem saying: "I can't wake up after a thousand days, and the taste is unbeatable for ten years."

Li Shimin also likes wine very much, so Datang has a wine brewing organization called Liangyingshu. Of course, only the emperor can enjoy the fine wines of Liangyingshu.

However, Li Shimin will share, so some high-level officials have special provisions. For example, princes and below enjoy nine buckets of imperial wine every month, then there is one and a half liters of wine per day for those above the fifth grade, and there is no special provision for those below the sixth grade.

Moreover, whenever there are weddings and funerals, or when it comes to some festivals, or even when the emperor is in a good mood, many ministers have the opportunity to accompany the banquet and drink with him.

The rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty are picturesque, and the sound of silk and bamboo is incomparably beautiful, and how happy it is to exchange cups and cups between monarchs and ministers.

So this wine, everyone likes it, and they are all good at it. However, people in Tang Dynasty like to drink, but the wine in Datang Dynasty is very ordinary. There are three kinds of wine that people in Tang Dynasty drink, rice wine, fruit wine, and concoction wine.

Rice wine is the most important wine, among which the rice wine brewed by Tang people is divided into clear wine and turbid wine.

The brewing time of sake is long, the alcohol concentration is high, the sweetness is low, and the transparency is relatively clear, but the brewing process is complicated.

Liquor is the opposite.The time is short, the concentration is low, the sweetness is high, and the brewing process is simple.Therefore, the production of rice wine in the Tang Dynasty was mainly turbid wine.

In addition, people in the Tang Dynasty called rice wine "baijiu", which is not the liquor we drink now.They often use the raw materials for wine making as the name of the wine. Because white rice is used to make rice wine, it is called "white wine".

The uniformity of these wines is that the alcohol content is low, even if it is a sanle pulp, the alcohol content will not be higher than [-] degrees.

Why. Because wine with a temperature higher than 40 degrees must be distilled.According to historical records, Chinese liquor distillation technology was first seen in the Yuan Dynasty.Therefore, the wine in the Tang Dynasty must not be ignited.

The alcohol content of Jiannanchun is not high, but it exceeds 45%. Li You bought Jiannanchun because the alcohol content of Jiannanchun is not too high, so it can be within the controllable range of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but the aroma of the wine exceeds the territory of the Tang Dynasty at this time. all wine.

"It smells so good!" Cheng Yaojin came to Quan Wanji's side in surprise, took a strong sniff and said, "This wine is not only fragrant, but also strong. According to someone's analysis, it should be stronger than Sanlejiang."

Then he quickly picked up a big bowl and said with a grin, "Come and give Lao Cheng a bowl first!"

After finishing speaking, he said righteously and shamelessly: "I don't want to drink it myself, I want to help everyone taste it first. If it's not good, everyone don't drink it!"

"Fuck you!" Yu Chigong, the big black man, came over and scolded: "How can such a fragrant wine taste bad, you old guy, if you want to drink our wine, there is no way!"

After finishing speaking, he also took a big bowl and shouted, "I'm just going to drink the first bowl."

After finishing speaking, he even tried his best to wink at Quan Wanji who was holding Jiannanchun, and motioned for Quan Wanji to pour wine for himself, but how could Quan Wanji pour wine for the two of them, the total is only two catties of wine, are you I don't know how big the bowls these two people are holding are almost half a catty.

These two are a catty, so what else do the rest drink.

"That's enough. Stop messing around. This is Li You's wish, and it's for everyone. If you two drink each bowl, it's not like Li You's wish was drunk by the two of you.

Come and exchange a drink for each person. Since Li You sincerely apologized, I also hope that everyone can forgive Li You, and the ranking of everyone is actually Li You's idea. "

"Oh!"

Everyone was surprised, and the point of surprise was that everyone didn't know that this ranking was actually thought up by Li You, after all, the former King Qi was really unbearable.

"Hehe!" After listening to Li Shimin's words, Quan Wanji knew that Li Shimin had changed his opinion of Li You, so he quickly became enthusiastic, pouring wine for everyone, and said: "King Qi knows that he has done too much before. I just want to apologize to my uncles and uncles. A little thin wine is not a respect. I hope you can forgive Qi Wang Yi Er. If you like this wine, you can go to Qi Wang to buy it, but I heard that there are not many. gone."

With the efforts of Quan Wanji, all the people present got about one or two glasses of wine, among them, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian also poured a glass, and Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were the first to directly drink Jiannanchun in the mouth.

Although Jiannanchun is only 45 degrees, none of the people present have ever drank such distilled liquor. I can drink it smoothly.

If it is changed to other high-altitude wine, it must be pungent and strong, the throat will be cut like a knife, and the stomach will be full of fire.

It is basically impossible for people in the Tang Dynasty who are used to drinking alcohol of [-] to [-] degrees to suddenly drink such strong alcohol to get used to it.

"It actually tastes sweet...!" After Li Jing finished drinking, he smacked his mouth with some unfinished thoughts.

Good wine, or old white wine, can taste a little bit of sweetness when drinking.

"It's really no exaggeration to say that the best wine in the world is the best!" Li Shimin also showed a surprised expression.
