Ask This Spring

Zhuo Lian walked to the Bowen Tea House, and when her buddy had tea, she said: "My name is Zhuo Lian. I want to talk to Boss Fei if I have something to do, so please go ahead and let me know."

Most of the people in the teahouse are very smart, and the news is better than ordinary people. The master who knows the bottomless brewing is called Zhuo Lian. Thinking of the extent of his own boss’s obsession with Huan’s wine, the guy didn’t hesitate to trot to the backyard and said to Fei Nian, who was picking Jin Gui, "Boss, Huan Zhuo is in the hall, would you like to see her? ?"

Fei Nian is the most addicted to wine, but if he hadn't had the talent for making wine, even the most common home brews would have made a mess, and he would not settle for second place and open a teahouse to pass the time.

Putting the wooden basin full of osmanthus flowers on the stone table, he stroked his beard and asked the man: "Is there something wrong with my dress?"

Fei reached 30 years of age, and he was born quite rich. He really couldn't get along with handsome. No matter how badly he was, his appearance would not change. But the guy didn't dare to say this, he could only smile and said: " The boss is extraordinary and he looks very energetic."

Boss Fei hummed. Just walking to the front hall, he saw the woman sitting on the edge of the window lattice, with a beautiful appearance and a calm temperament. He speeded up and sat at the table, and asked with a smile: "The little boss is making Jinbo recently. Qu, everything is busy, how come you come to the teahouse when you have time?"

Zhuo Yan pursed his lips, took out the envelope from his sleeve, and pushed forward with his index finger, "Boss Fei, the content of the letter is true, and there is no fraud."

Fei Nian showed suspicion, took out the letter paper and glanced at it, his brows were gradually tightened, his complexion became more gloomy, and he hissed: "Do you know who I am?"

"There is no impermeable wall under the sky. After you have been in Bianzhou for so many years, there will always be clues revealed."

Zhuo Lian picked up the tea cup, sipped his head down, and looked calm, without fear or welcome. Fei Nian was born in a high school. Even if he only opened a tea house and did not enter an official position, Xin Si City Mansion is still several times stronger than ordinary people. He wants to use his hand to remove Miao Ping. This purpose is completely impossible to hide. Rather than cover it up, it is better to be fair speak out.

"When my father-in-law brought Miao Ping out of the mountain, I was young and happened to stay at Huan’s house to play. Seeing him holding a jade pendant in his hand, exactly the same as the one hanging on your waist, my sister accidentally fell off the cliff. Yu Pei fell into Miao Ping's hands again. Boss Fei will know the truth of the matter as soon as he checks it."

Zhuo Lian didn't slander. In order to win the trust of Fei Nian, the heroine in the story had sent someone to Miao Ping's residence. The jade pendant found was the most powerful evidence. Miao Ping is both greedy and cautious. In his opinion, the most dangerous place is the safest place. In order to conceal the evil he has done, he has kept Jade Pei at home for so many years.

"You knew Ruo Qiang died from his hands?" Fei Nian's jaw tightened, and his attitude was really not good.

Zhuo Lian shook his head, "In the past, my concubine and Boss Fei did not know each other. After the bottomless construction was completed, you went to buy wine. I saw Yupei and remembered that scene."

Fei Nian crumpled the letter paper into a ball, and said solemnly: "I will send someone to investigate. If Miao Ping is really the culprit, I will not let it go easily."

After getting the answer she wanted, Zhuo Lian was finally satisfied. She took out the copper plate and put it on the table, got up to go, but listened to him: "Little boss, I planted a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus, can you make some osmanthus wine, Not to mention the taste is sweet, and you can nourish your body even if you drink it."

Zhuo Lian was born in the Republic of China, and I have seen many kinds of drinks, including Guijiu. Thinking of the jade-colored and fragrant wine, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"If there is a cup of fragrant cinnamon wine, you will be drunk by the flowers. It's just that the golden osmanthus with good quality is hard to find, and the concubine body has not poured the kung fu again, so it will be delayed."

"If the little boss can trust Fei, I will provide the auxiliary materials for your wine, and after the wine is brewed, you can give me a part of it."

Fei Nian is very confident in women’s craftsmanship. He has been in the capital for more than 20 years. He has even drank the imperial wine in the palace several times. In terms of smoothness and spicyness, no wine can be as clear and bottomless as the texture. The outstanding sake is used as the raw material, supplemented by golden osmanthus, peach blossoms and other things. The brewed wine is intoxicating as long as you think about it. After it is made, he takes it back to the capital and can also be given to the elders as a gift.

Zhuo Lian can trust him for years. After all, Yongping Hou's family has a big business. Apart from his brewing skills, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is poor and worthless. It is not worth calculating.

"Except for the flowers and herbs, lychees, citrus, grapes, and sorbus can be used for making wine. Any fruit that boss Fei can find can be sent to the wine shop. Then the concubine will send fruit wine or silver to the teahouse at the price." He pondered for a while.

Boss Fei naturally has no reason to be unreasonable. After the discussion, he sent his partner to send Zhuo Lian out, and he returned to the room, staring at the wrinkled letter paper, his complexion did not change much, but his hands were bruised. When I think about it, my mind is not calm.

After Zhuo Lian stepped into the wine shop, he chopped up the corn cakes, soaked them in bone broth and put them in a basin, and fed them to the mountain. The full dog lay on the ground, his tail swept back and forth like a broom, raising a slice. dust.

She squinted and smiled, turned and walked to the newly built mud house, and opened the curtain and door panel.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Fu hurried over and said: "Lianniang, don't worry, let's move the porcelain urn out together. You can't hold the porcelain urn by yourself. Be careful not to flash your waist." As he said, he bent down and hugged cautiously. Urn body.

What's in the porcelain urn is nothing else, it's what's been brewed and it's bottomless.

After the ordinary rice wine is collected, the wine must be boiled by heating in water, and lime is added at the same time, so that the wine is not only clear and not sour, but Zhuo Lian does not like to cook the wine, and instead uses a different method-fire Forced law. She built a low mud room, the door can only accommodate the porcelain urn, the room built the stove with blue bricks, put half a catty of burned charcoal, the temperature is not high, slowly heated the porcelain urn The door can only be opened in seven days.

This method is far better than boiling wine. Unfortunately, no one in the Zhou Dynasty was proficient in fire pressing, and most of the brews were turbid mash. A few sakes were also added with lime, which made the taste quite weird.

Zhen Lin held the silk ball in her hand, ran to the front, Zhuo Lian clamped the silk ball with thin bamboo strips, touched the hollow under the porcelain urn and sealed with willow shavings, and then went in and stirred slowly, and the sediment was deposited on the bottom of the urn. The impurities are wrapped, and then the turbid liquid is released.

"The fire method is indeed good, but it takes too long. I am afraid it will be difficult to increase the bottomless output." Huanmu couldn't help sighing.

Zhuo Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled and said, "The amount of turbid wine that our family brewed before is quite large, but the price must be kept extremely low before it can be sold. Instead of doing this, it is better to do something with less quality. Gao Mijiu, when the fame of Huanjiajiu starts, it will not be too late to expand."

At this moment, Zhuo Lian was not in a hurry to show off. The so-called gun shot, now Huan Shen is just a little guard, not the famous Zhen Guo Gong, the Huan family has no support at all, if he behaves too aggressively, he will definitely be hated. She still understands the truth that Piff is not guilty and guilty.

"There are a lot of unused rooms in the wine shop. Why don't you let Yun'er move in too? She stays at home alone, and my daughter-in-law is really worried."

Hearing this, Huanmu hesitated for a while, "It's okay. There are more and more customers in the store. She rushes back and forth every day, and her body can't bear it. If she lives in the store, it would be more convenient to take care of her."

After making white fungus soup in the kitchen, Uncle Fu first brought a bowl to Huanmu, and then gave Zhuo Lian Zhenlin a bowl.

"Then I will pick up Yunniang now, and the store happened to be closed today. I am afraid that I will be more busy until tomorrow." Uncle Fu raised his head, poured soup into his stomach, and said with a breath.

The Huan's family was very busy, but the sky above Zhuo's family seemed to be enveloped by a cloud of clouds, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

After learning that Zhuo Xin hadn't brought Zhuo Lian back, Fan Lan immediately sneered: "The concubine body has said long ago that Lian Niang is a foodie, otherwise she would not kill her not selling the wine shop before; she can The brewing is bottomless. I must have wondered how to make wine years ago, but I didn't show it when I stayed in the boudoir. After getting married, I did show up, and obviously didn't treat the master as a father."

"She is not a good thing like Qu's." Zhuo Xiao gritted his teeth.

Fan Lan's eyes flashed, and he faintly said, "Don't be angry. Even if the Huan family has no bottom, we don't need to be afraid. It's precious, how can Lian Niang reach it?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Xiaotong also felt that there was some truth, and couldn't help nodding.

"But if the concubine remembers correctly, there are still a few treasured recipes in the Qu family's hands. She was kicked out of the house when she did that kind of pickling, and even took the wine party away. If you can get these treasures, how can you be troubled by the bottomless?"

As a young lady in the General's Mansion, Fan Lan has never put Qu's and other merchant girls in her eyes, but everything she likes must be obtained in the same way, whether it is Zhuo Xiaotong or the wine party.

The man frowned and said with some uncertainty: "Since Qu was kicked out, she has been living in Xiaohe Village. You and I rushed to the door. As long as she is not a fool, she will not hand over the wine party."

"How can there be any mothers who don't care about their children? These years, although the Qu family hasn't been with Zhuo Lian, she must be thinking about it in her heart. Zhuo Mansion is her daughter's home. If she doesn't want Zhuo Lian to be a widow for a lifetime, The prescription must be handed over obediently, otherwise we will be blamed for being ruthless."

Fan Lan's eyes were slightly cold.

She took Zhuo Xiaotong’s hand and softly soothed: "Master, Yujin is smart and brilliant, and her talent for winemaking is not inferior to Zhuo Lian. I heard that there are many well-known master brewers in the capital. Let her go to the capital next year and live there. In the general’s mansion, you can learn craftsmanship and find a good relationship, so you don’t have to worry too much by then."
