The liquid in the clay pot was viscous and clear, with a faint aroma of wine wafting out.

Could it be that wine can be brewed in just one night

Wen Shouzheng suppressed the shock in his heart, carefully picked up the clay pot, poured out a small bowl, and looked carefully.

Pure, clear, hanging bowl.

Wen Shouzheng brought the bowl closer to his face, took a sip, and the slight aroma of the wine already aroused the wine bug in his stomach.

Raise your hand and drink it up.

"Good wine!"

The wine flowed down the throat quickly, and the aroma of the wine was soft and clear, slightly sweet, not like ordinary wine, but it had a long-lasting aftertaste, not hot, not offensive, attached to the tongue between the teeth, Refreshing.

On the spur of the moment, Wen Shouzheng poured another bowl, and still drank it down in one gulp. He laughed and said, "Good wine!"

"His father!" Mrs. Zhou was in a hurry. You can't drink wine like this, can you

The Zhou family knows that Wen Shouzheng is good at wine, but the amount of alcohol is not worth mentioning!

If he passed out drunk, what should he do at Zuixian Tower

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Rou'er's wine is indifferent and sweet, not too much! Hehe." Wen Shouzheng waved his hand, signaling Zhou to rest assured.

"Rou'er, is this wine really as you said? It was only brewed for one night?" Wen Shouzheng drank three bowls of wine, and became concerned about the method and origin of the wine.

"En!" Gentle nodded: "Father, I would like to thank Chef Gao for giving me the ancient book! This wine is recorded in the ancient book. wine meaning.

Wen Shouzheng smiled and said: "Lao Gao's book is really informative. It seems that he always said that his ancestors had a royal chef, but he is not bragging." After a pause, he said: "I have time some other day. .”

Wen Ting asked curiously at the side: "Father, you can understand, when did you start to read again?"

Wen Shouzheng blushed, and shouted: "You bastard, I will tell you when I can read!" Then he said to Wenrou: "Rou'er, you need to study more in the future, by the way, what else is there in the book? Good stuff, we'll make it together at that time!" Wen Shouzheng smacked his lips, and wanted to drink another bowl, but thinking of the time limit, he withdrew his outstretched hand, thinking that good things still need a long stream of water.

"Father, don't drink the Yin family's wine in the future!" Rourou said suddenly.

"Oh?" Wen Shouzheng looked at Wen Rou.

"Father, now that we have this ancient book, it will be very convenient for us to brew our own wine in the future. There are more recipes for good wine in the book." Rourou tried her best to clear up her relationship with the Yin family.

"Father, what my sister said is right. What the book says is short for people and short for eating people, but it's better to drink homemade brew!" Wen Ting also chimed in.

In fact, he didn't like that boy Yin Deshun either. He always felt that he was glib and scheming. Although Wen Ting himself was usually full of nonsense, he had the backbone of a scholar in his bones. Whenever he saw Yin Deshun, he always liked to ignore him.

"Well, it makes sense. Although I drank so much wine from the Yin family, that old man Yin Fugui got more good things from me. After all, we are still at a loss. Okay, I don't want his family's wine in the future!" Wen Wen Shou waved his forehand, agreeing, and said: "I'll clean up first, Rou'er, hurry up too, don't miss the business of Zuixianlou."

Seeing that Wen Shouzheng agreed, Ruan Rou was naturally very happy in her heart, as long as she could get rid of the Yin family, at worst she would spend more time and make more wine.

The back kitchen of Zuixianlou is still busy.

Since Ruan Wen first entered Zuixian Tower, a few days passed in a flash, it was freezing cold, Ruan Ruan had no complaints, she just buried her head in the back kitchen on weekdays, washing vegetables and doing chores with the big guys.

The back kitchen is full of young apprentices, and there are very few cooks whose mothers-in-law and aunts are also middle-aged and young ladies with round waists and fat hips.

Although Wen Wen is dressed in homespun clothes, she still can't hide her delicate appearance. The twelve-year-old young girl is like a narcissus, exuding a sweet fragrance tenderly.

"Sister Rou'er, I'll help you!" Xiao Wu stretched out a pair of black paws to the bundle of green onions that Rourou had just picked up, and graciously helped peel the onions.

Ruan didn't argue with Xiao Wu, she went straight to the sink, and was about to wash the cabbage.

"Sister Rou'er, the water is too cold, I'll come!" Ever since Ruan Rou came to the kitchen, Yuanzi always ran to the operating room when he had nothing to do, and he called it practicing basic skills.

Yuanzi washed the Chinese cabbage leaves in a hurry, and he didn't work so hard when he was working for the soup chef.

"Brother Yuanzi, this dish is almost ruined by you..." Gentle reminded.

"Oh, okay, I'll just lighten it up, hehe." Yuanzi smiled sarcastically, and with this smile, his head became rounder.

Wen Rou looked around, picked up a dustpan of rice, and was about to wash it, Ergou came in again.

"I'll do it." Ergou turned around.

"Hey... I let you do all the work, what am I going to do?" Wen Rou shook her head helplessly, and simply went to Wen Shouzheng's place.

"Father." Rou Rou followed behind the busy Wen Shouzheng.

"Rou'er, are you done?" Wen Shouzheng asked.

"Father, I don't want to wash vegetables anymore, I want to learn how to cook with you." Wen Rou cut to the point.

"Hehe, does Rou'er feel that washing vegetables is boring?" Wen Shouzheng put down the work in his hands, and looked at the gentle pouting mouth in front of him with a smile.

The scene of Ruan Ruan and Fang Dashi defeating Chef Gao yesterday reappeared in Wen Shouzheng's mind again. My daughter has talent, if she is shut up here every day to wash vegetables, wouldn't it be a waste of talent!

"Father, I've been here for seven days. I wash the vegetables every day, and I don't even have to wash the vegetables these days..." After finishing speaking, he told Wen in detail what happened just now. keep upright.

Wen Shouzheng frowned.

Thinking about the young apprentices in the operating room, they were all at the age of first love, but their own daughter was born like a flower and a jade, a girl's family, it was indeed a bit difficult to be there.

Thinking about it this time, Wen Shouzheng sighed: "Oh! Forget it! Originally, I wanted you to learn the basics of cooking, but now you just follow me, and I will teach you!"

"Father, washing vegetables is also an art?" Rou Rou stared at a pair of big eyes.

"Hehe, there is a lot of knowledge about washing vegetables! Each dish has different shapes, textures, and maturity. Starting from washing vegetables can best exercise the basic skills of a cook." Wen Shouzheng said, touching two dishes from the chopping board. root cucumber.

"For example, these cucumbers look green and slender, but they taste different. Washing vegetables is the first step to touch the ingredients. You need to feel the texture, texture and veins of the ingredients with your hands: one is hard and sharp, and the other is soft. Use your eyes to distinguish the freshness of the ingredients: one is slightly shallower and the other slightly darker; use your nose to feel the nuances of the ingredients: one is fragrant, and the other is slightly sweet!" After Wen Shouzheng said, he quickly moved the two Each cucumber was cut into a small section and handed to Gentleman.

"Try it."

"Father, it's true!" Ruan Rou took a small bite of each, and it was true that one was crisp and fragrant, and the other was soft and slightly sweet.

"Although they are all cucumbers, they are of different quality, so the dishes are also different. Crispy cold salads and stir-fried vegetables; soft ones are cooked and put into soup." Wen Shouzheng hugged his arms, his face full of pride.

"Father, I didn't expect that there is such a great knowledge in washing vegetables?" Rourou held a cucumber in his hand, his face was full of admiration for Wen Shouzheng.

"That's natural, but you can also practice this basic skill at home. Today, I will teach you the basic knife skills first!" Wen Shouzheng turned around, and was about to perform a demonstration.

But Zhu Zi ran to the back kitchen in a panic, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Zhuzi, what are you looking for?" Wen Shouzheng walked over and asked curiously.

"Chef Wen, there is no wine in front. Shopkeeper Li asked me to come to the back kitchen to see if there is any stock left?" Zhuzi replied out of breath while looking for it.

"A few days ago, didn't you move all the remaining drinks to the front hall?" Wen Shouzheng said.

"Look at my brain, damn it! I forgot about shopkeeper Li's order to buy wine!" Zhu Zi slapped his forehead, stomped his feet, and went to the front hall dejectedly.

"This kid..." Wen Shouzheng shook his head.
