Ask This Spring

Zhuo Lian came from Bianzhou and wanted to buy the Lijia Winery for his business. In the eyes of the Yaren, it was no different from the fat sheep to be slaughtered. Therefore, the price was increased to 1,500 taels based on the original price, a net profit. Two hundred taels. The tooth man was happily in his heart. He didn't expect that the business talker would be replaced by another person. This young man was born tall and handsome. Although his face was handsome, his whole body made his legs straight and weak.

Panicked, Yaren didn't dare to be greedy for petty bargains anymore, and directly collected 1,300 taels of silver, and then took Huan Shen to the government office to complete the paperwork, and tossed until dark.

When Huan Shen returned with the deed, he saw that the main room was still lit, and Huan Mu Huan Yun and the others had rested early. Those who hadn't slept so late, except Zhuo Shi did not do what he thought.

He pushed the door and walked closer, and found the woman leaning on her chin with one hand, showing a thoughtful mood, and did not notice herself.

"Sister-in-law."

A deep voice suddenly sounded, frightening Zhuo Lian. After seeing Huan Shen's face clearly, his tight body gradually eased, "Uncle finally came back, can you buy that store?"

Huan Shen put the deed and two hundred taels of silver notes on the table and explained in a warm voice: "The Yaren heard that your accent was wrong, and guessed that it was a merchant from outside, so he raised the price by two hundred taels, but he didn't. Dare to fool me."

Hearing this, Zhuo Lian laughed lowly. He didn't expect that Huan Shen would still bargain with people. If it wasn't for her left leg injury that hadn't healed, she really wanted to follow the young man to take a closer look. Maybe he would find more surprises. The details.

Put the deed book in the envelope and put it away. Zhuo Lian couldn't help but sink when he remembered what happened during dinner. "Dan Ling has Qu Yi's child in his belly, and they are going to move out, so as not to give birth to conflict."

From the first glance at Dan Ling, Huan Shen felt that the woman’s eyes were very muddy and unpleasant. He didn’t expect that Qu Yi was also a casual person. He actually did this kind of thing before marriage. There is no difference between the mud that makes you stunned and undecided with the mud that can't support the wall.

"It's okay for them to leave, so they don't have to pick and choose and cause you trouble."

Zhuo Lian secretly looked at the young man in front of him, and he was relieved when he saw that he had never been angry.

"Sister-in-law was just thinking about what, so fascinated?" Huan Shen sat on the wooden chair with a golden sword, playing with the porcelain cup in his hand, in a very leisurely posture.

Although he knows that the Li's restaurant is poorly managed and cannot be separated from the boss, Zhuo Lian still feels a little nervous, for fear that the large sum of money will be squandered and the family will fall into embarrassment again. There is nothing to hide, she Immediately said: "It is the twelfth lunar month. I am going to brew a kind of lamb wine, which can be drunk in Futian. It is rich in fat and can be sold at a higher price."

Huan Shen was on duty next to the three princes, and he often accompanied the Lord to banquets on weekdays. Apart from the royal wine of the palace, he had heard of all the famous drinks from all over the world, but he had never heard of lamb wine. He squinted his eyes and served it carefully. The woman who measured her expression freely, only felt that she was wrapped in mist, which made people unable to feel the clues, and at the same time aroused his desire for voyeurism.

"How should this lamb wine be brewed?" the young man asked lightly.

Zhuo Lian didn't notice the abnormality, and instead said enthusiastically, "Ancient recipe records that Lao'er wine uses 30 catties of mutton as the main ingredient, of which at least 10 catties of fat, put it in a pot and boiled until soft. , Cut into silk, mix well with the vinegar rice, and then put the rice in the wine mother, the soup of the mutton boiled is also a rare good thing. It is still useful when making wine and must not be wasted."

"I have neither inherited my father's talent for winemaking, nor have I seen these strange ancient recipes. If his old man knew about it, he would have been extremely disappointed in me." Huan Shen feigned guilt and couldn't help sighing.

"Don’t be ignorant of your actions. You are still young and have a bright future. You don’t like this, so why bother to limit your long life to the wine road? What's more, I’m not talking about ancient recipes, but another clever way. ."

"What way?" Huan Shen raised an eyebrow and asked.

Zhuo Lian drank his saliva to moisturize his throat, and continued: "Lamb wine is attractive because it has a unique fatty aroma and a mellow taste, which is different from ordinary sake and rice wine. This fatty aroma is mainly derived from Jie. The fat of the sheep is made of fat, but the taste is more beautiful. The “cutting fat, drunk bones, and sweet fragrance” in the book refers to lamb wine."

Sheep and pigs are like pigs. Before cutting off the curse, not only was there little meat but firewood, but also a fishy smell on the body. However, after the castration, both the taste and the taste were greatly improved. Huanmu went to the market yesterday and found The gelding pigs and goats in the capital are hot sellers and extremely sought-after.

Huan Shen tapped the table lightly and asked: "According to what my sister-in-law said, Lao Jiu Shao said that it takes a long time to receive wine. How does it relate to soliciting guests?"

"When I was in Bianzhou before, I used to cook wine in the street, let the fragrance of the wine diffuse, and attract everyone's attention. The same method can also be used in Beijing. A large stove was set up at the store door to replace the well with a bottomless. Water, stewed and boiled the fat fat of Jieyang sheep, the fragrant aroma is mixed with the aroma of wine, and the effect will be doubled." Zhuo Lian is confident in his craft, and the apricot eyes are bright and clear, like precious crystals.

"This method is very good. When the wine shop opens, don't forget to call Xingzhi, so I can help you and contribute to the family."

"Uncle's words are wrong. What you bought from Yaren is a wine shop, not a wine shop. The front hall of the shop can be used to entertain guests. At that time, Uncle Fu will be in charge of the chef, and my mother and I will sell wine. It’s not too late to hire more long-term workers..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young man raising his hand, "Your health is not healed, and you have spent a lot of energy in making wine every day. If you go to the front hall to greet the guests, how can your body stand it?" When talking, Huan Shen also has his own selfishness. Zhuo Lian has a beautiful appearance. Even in the capital, she is still very prosperous. Women selling wines are fascinating. Coupled with such skin looks, Xiao thinks she must have a lot of men.

Thinking of this, Huan Shen's heart surged with dryness, and the lingering momentum around her body became more and more frightening.

"Maybe something." Zhuo Lian couldn't say anymore after spitting out three words, just because the black eyes of the young man stared at him for an instant, she couldn't help being a little flustered, and hurriedly changed her words: "Then recruit a few. A long-term worker, let them help in the front hall, so my mother doesn’t have to work so hard."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Huan Shen didn't stay any more, so Wu stood up and said, "It's cold at night, my sister-in-law rests earlier", and left the hall without looking back.

Just after dawn the next day, the Qu family began to pack things, and Qu Yi walked out of the house, looking for a suitable house outside.

Seeing that the incident had reached such an irreversible level, Dan Ling was so regretful that her intestines were green. Last night she tossed and turned and didn't sleep at all. As soon as the **** cried this morning, she heard the conversation between mother and son, and they settled. I want to leave the Huan’s house, how can this be good?

Putting on her jacket and walking to the next door, Dan Ling only said softly without seeing Qu's red eyes, "Auntie, can we not move? Now the snow has not melted, and the dripping water has turned into ice. It is a difficult time. I and Qu Big brother is not afraid of hardship, but you can’t ignore your little grandson..."

This time, the Qu family was determined. He didn't even sweep Dan Ling a glance, and said coldly: "This kid does whatever you want, and he doesn't fear the cold. Back then, he could kneel on the street for half a day on a cold day, but now it's nothing more than It’s a different place to live, he can bear it."

Hearing this, Dan Ling felt deeply wronged, but couldn't justify it, so he could only hold back the anger in his stomach, and returned to the room to rest.

The capital was prosperous and there were countless people from other villages. Qu Yi searched for three days before finding a suitable house. This yard is broken and small, and the location is still remote. You have to walk for half an hour to reach the wine shop when you get up early in the morning. Looking at the gray-yellow mottled wall, Dan Ling's eyes became dark, and she almost didn't pass.

"Brother Qu, why are you so cruel, letting me live with my child in this kind of place?" The woman with tears in her eyes, her hands on her flat abdomen, looked more and more timid and pitiful.

It's a pity that Qu Yi was placed by her, so naturally she would not fall down twice in the same place. At this moment, she was cold and pointed in the direction of the door, "If you don't want to live here, you can leave. I will never stop. ."

"You, you are simply not human! I still have your flesh and blood in my stomach. If I live on the streets, how can I survive?"

Hearing the soft whimper of the woman, Qu Yi was very irritable, and quickly left the place and returned to his room.

In a blink of an eye, another half month passed, Zhuo Lian's injury on his left leg was almost healed, and his actions were no longer hindered. During this period, Huan Shen found two military men and brought them to the store to let them help with the work.

Although the martial arts of ordinary soldiers are not high-strength, their physical strength is not small. If they were not injured on the battlefield and left behind, the fields of their hometown would have been occupied by others, and Yang Wu and Chi Zhong would not leave the barracks. , Stay in the capital to discuss life.

It happened to be a sunny day, with snow on the ground, but no bitter wind, and there were many pedestrians on the street.

Yang Wu and Chi Zhong set up the stove in front of the store, and they couldn't help adding firewood to it, and it didn't take long for them to get warmer.

The surrounding people saw this scene, and then looked at the plaque hanging above, and couldn't help but muttered, "This place has opened a shop again. Why don't we make a bet to see how long this store can last for three months? Two months? It won't be even a month, right?" The greasy man rubbed his hands and laughed, the malice in his eyes was obvious.

"Who knows how long it can last? The surnamed Li also bought Orchid specially, one by one, **** and round buttocks, very attractive, and now he still slumped back to his hometown? Living in the capital is not easy, any country bunny can stand. Can you stand it?" The young man who was speaking had a trace of disdain in his eyes. He was a native of Beijing, and he naturally looked down on these outsiders.

Zhuo Lian was in good health, but could not carry heavy objects. Huanmu grabbed her wrist and asked her daughter-in-law to rest in the front hall. When the stove was heating up, it was not so cold outside before she was willing to let the person out.

The mother and son of the Qu family were also working in the wine shop. At this moment, the Qu family was holding a wooden basin with white fat fat inside. Following the footsteps of the middle-aged woman, she trembled again and again. Tired and crooked, the onlookers curled their lips, believing that the newly opened Huanjia restaurant was playing mystery.

Qu Yi followed his mother-in-law, holding two porcelain urns in his arms. The contents were all bottomless, one altar and three battles, and two altars were eighteen taels of silver. It was really not a small amount, so he didn't dare. Holding the big, he moved gently to place the wine jar on the ground, and then Zhuo Shi walked quickly, raised his hand to tear off the red seal, and poured the light green wine into the hot big pot.

The body of the pot was boiling hot, allowing the liquor to evaporate in an instant, and the rich aroma kept surging, sweeping everyone's minds. The ridicule on the faces of the people had long since disappeared, leaving only shock, but Zhuo Lian's actions still kept going, pouring the white mutton into the pot and stirring with a shovel.

Lamb's fat is blended into the mellow and fragrant wine, and the fragrant aroma is doubled, but it is not greasy at all. On the contrary, it makes people salivate and can't help swallowing saliva.

The author has something to say: cut fat, drunk bones, recommend sweet fragrance-Chen Zao

Lao'er wine is also called lamb wine, and people in Song Dynasty often drink it. It comes from the "Jiujing"
