Ask This Spring

When the weather got warmer, Emperor Dehong took the princes to Xishan to hunt around. As the guard of the three princes, Huan Shen had to go on the road together.

After learning the news, Zhuo Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was secretly delighted. Recently, she really didn't know what kind of attitude she should use to face Huan Shen. Now that this person leaves the capital, he will not return until a month later, which is great news for her.

On the day Huan Shen set off, Zhuo Lian stayed in the restaurant, took Yang Wu and others, and put the steamed sour rice into the big urn. When steaming the rice, she added a lot of plum blossoms, and the buds were already in the process of steaming. It melts in the rice soup, so that the raw materials are brought with a plump and attractive plum fragrance. When the wine is brewed, the taste will never be bad.

Qi Henian once again came to the wine shop to deliver medicinal materials. Looking at the woman with bright eyes, he hesitated, and finally couldn't help saying: "If I'm not wrong, Lianniang should be Zhuo Yujin's relatives."

Zhuo Lian nodded, without any intention of concealing it. Now Qingfengxiao has become the royal wine ordered by your majesty. With the help of this shareholder, Zhuo Xiaotong will move the entire Zhuo family to the capital soon. In this case, it is not useful for her to lie. It is better to be straightforward. I confessed it, lest Qi Henian's heart be grieved.

"The Zhuo family came out of a kind of imperial wine, and Miss Zhuo Er also became Master Yan's apprentice. There were many happy events, and it was really beautiful." Qi Henian picked up the tea cup and took a sip slowly, wondering if it was his illusion. The shop is clearly a place for drinking, but the tea soup is also fragrant, which makes people impressed.

Zhuo Lian raised his eyebrows, a curious look appeared in Xing's eyes. Although she has been in the capital for some time, under the threat of Huan Shen, she rarely has the opportunity to contact the outside world, and she doesn't know who the master brewers here are.

"Is this Master Yan very famous?"

Hearing this, Qi Henian couldn't help being dumbfounded. He originally thought that a woman proficient in winemaking like Zhuo would definitely know the master brewer very well. How could he have thought that he had never heard of other people's names, if you let outsiders know about it. , I'm afraid I will laugh out loud.

Qi Henian didn’t act too much, but he was already introverted, and at this moment he showed a little bit of consternation. Zhuo Lian reacted in a short time and explained softly: "In the past, my concubine had always lived in Bianzhou. I understand too much, but I hope Young Master Qi will solve his doubts."

"Although business is a low-level business, Zhou people love to drink, and the master brewers who can make sake are very respectful. Those who can make sake are collectively called brewers, and above are masters. Everyone has amazing skills. The brewed wine is not only mellow and delicious, but also has very strong personal characteristics that ordinary masters can’t imitate before they can get the name of master.”

The man's voice was clear and gentle. He saw Zhuo Lian stunned, smiled, and then continued: "Qi once drank the wine in the store. Although the taste of Qingfengxiao and Jinbo is beautiful, it is not as good as a master brewer, but you are still young, and it will not be long. , Will definitely catch up..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Henian saw Zhuo Lian suddenly stand up, walked to the wooden frame not far away, stood on tiptoe, took off an inconspicuous porcelain bottle, and poured the golden liquor into the glass. In the cup.

"This is the medicinal wine made by Lianniang?"

Zhuo Lian didn't laugh, but tapped his fingers on the table top, making a crisp sound.

"Prince Qi has tasted it before talking."

Qi Henian didn't refute it. When he brought the wine cup to the front, there was a strong and domineering aroma that pierced into his mouth and nose. Although it contained a silky medicinal fragrance, it was different from ordinary medicinal wine. The medicinal fragrance was hidden at the end. , Will not overwhelm the host, and I don’t know what method was used.

His eyes were stunned and he couldn't wait to take a sip. As soon as the mellow drink swept across his lips and teeth, the lingering breath instantly increased a hundredfold. It was fragrant, sweet and smooth, and all the flavors were in the small cup, making him stiff. After a while, he didn't recover for a long while.

"Lianniang, what kind of wine is this?"

Although Qi Henian is a businessman, his background is not low. Boss Fei did not clearly state this in the letter, but Zhuo Lian could still detect it. Otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to get in touch with the winemaking in Beijing even if he had a wealth of family resources. Grandmaster.

"The name of this wine is Amber Light. Compared with sake, it has a higher texture. If Master Qi likes it, he can take a bottle back later and taste it slowly."

She had already started brewing amber light a month ago, but the time was too short to make a finished product. The inventory in the warehouse is getting less and less, and Huanmu Qu's heart is very anxious, but Zhuo Lian is not in a hurry, but relaxes, and makes wine in a step-by-step manner. Anyway, the yellow wine has not yet been sold, and no one in Beijing can win. The last year and a half are nothing at all.

Qi Henian was born white, his drinking volume was not good, his cheeks were flushed at this moment, and his eyes were a little blurred.

"Master Qi hasn't introduced Master Yan yet." Zhuo Lian couldn't help but urge.

Qi Henian nodded repeatedly and said softly, "Master Yan was named Yan Tao. At first he was just a long-time worker in the Liang brewing office of Guanglu Temple, specializing in making wine for the nobles to drink. The Liang brewing office gathered people from the entire Zhou dynasty. The master brewer, the young Yan Tao is by their side. He is a gifted man in his own right. He has created a green bead fragrance with the color and luster like new leaves, and the taste is different from ordinary drinks..."

As he spoke, Qi Henian raised his eyes and saw that the woman in front of him looked wrong, and quickly calmed down: "Lianniang, don't be afraid. I have tasted the green bead fragrance. This wine is very strange, unique and unusual. Sake is completely different, with a special aroma. It is for this reason that his Majesty has chosen it as an imperial wine. If it is judged by taste, I am afraid it is not as good as amber light."

Zhuo Lian was not afraid, but a complex emotion was surging in his heart.

She had tasted this green bead fragrance as early as the Republic of China. Although Ms. Li is from Beijing, when she went to study in Taixi, there was a classmate from Huai'an. The two had a personal relationship. After returning to China, she sent some wine to Beijing. Zhuo Lian was also lucky enough to drink this wine. Mouth, guessed how the green bead fragrance liquid was brewed.

The four characters "Lvzhu Xiangye" sounds very elegant, but it also has a common name-mung bean wine.

The mung bean wine produced in Huai'an contains beans in the koji, which can clear away heat and detoxify. Ordinary koji cakes are made of wheat as the main ingredient, and the green pearl scent is different. The wheat is replaced with mung beans, and the taste is natural and unique.

Zhuo Lian didn't expect that Miss Li would write Huai'an bean wine in the script, which really made her dumbfounded.

Perceiving Qi Henian's concerned eyes, Zhuo Lian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly, "I just feel a little bit strange for my concubine. It's a pity that I haven't tasted the local wine in Beijing for so long."

Qi Henian's eyes flashed slightly, and after a few conversations, he got up and said goodbye.

Soon the next day, when Zhuo Lian arrived at the wine shop, he saw a skinny boy standing in front of the shop, holding a pale blue porcelain bottle in his hand. When he saw Zhuo Lian, his slender eyes suddenly widened, and he rushed a few steps. Stepping forward, he nodded and said, "Boss Zhuo, this is for you from my son."

"Your son?"

"The kid belongs to the Qi family."

Hearing this, Zhuo Lian suddenly realized that she said that this little servant looked so familiar, and turned out to be the person next to Qi Henian. Lowering her head and measuring the porcelain bottle in her hand, she opened the lid and smelled the scent of wine.

"This is... the green bead perfume?"

She really did not expect that she just mentioned the bean wine yesterday, and today Qi Henian sent someone to deliver the stuff. People are so concerned that Zhuo Lian can't neglect. She thought for a while and brewed it herself. The fruit wine was handed over to the young man, and he did not forget to attach a small jar of fairy wine.

If she remembers correctly, Qi Henian said earlier that the elders in the family suffered from arthralgia, and even if a doctor with good medical skills often used needles, they still could not recover. Although Shenxian wine cannot cure the disease, its effect of relieving pain is not weak, and I hope it can be of some use.

"Exactly, after the son returned to the mansion yesterday, he took out the wine from his home and sent him to the wine shop." The young man followed Qi Henian for a short time, and he had never seen whom the master had served before. Xin, but made an exception for the woman in front of her. If she was known by the parents of Qi, she wouldn't know what it would be like.

Thinking like this in his heart, the young man would naturally not show it on his face. After thanking him, he carried the jar and returned to the medicine shop. As soon as he walked to the backyard, he found the handsome man standing under the elm tree.

"My son, the minion is back. Boss Zhuo also gave a few bottles of wine, including hawthorn wine, honey wine, Jinbo, and a jar of fairy wine. She specifically confessed that fairy wine is for people with arthralgia, you Never drink."

Qi Henian received the heavy bamboo basket in his hand, and his slender fingers stroked the glossy porcelain vase. The appearance of a woman unconsciously appeared in his mind. The bright smile, delicate eyebrows, and calm expression all attracted deeply. He, even if he knew that Zhuo was married, he still couldn't control his thoughts.

Qi Henian runs a pharmacy and has seen many medicinal wines in the past, but there is nothing that can relieve arthralgia. This jar of fairy wine seems unremarkable, is there really a special effect?

"Prepare the car, I'm going to Anyuan Bo's Mansion."

Uncle An Yuan is Qi Henian's grandfather. He has only one daughter under his knees, and no one will attack him. He doesn't want to pass on his stepchildren. Instead, he carefully teaches his grandson, hoping that he can support the lintel of An Yuan's Prince's Mansion.

In less than half an hour, the carriage had stopped at the gate of Bo's House. The guards who guarded the gate had long recognized Qi Henian's identity. The master is in the study, and the son goes in."

Qi Henian nodded slightly, knocked on the door, and after getting permission from his grandfather, he pushed the door and entered.

An old man dressed in brown satin clothes, sitting on the Eight Immortal Chair, holding a scroll in his hand, looking at his grandson with a kind face with a smile on his face. If Zhuo Lian were here, he would definitely be shocked, because this An Ping Bo was surprisingly the Mr. Yu she met in Bianzhou, but he didn't expect to be of this kind of identity.
