When Li Zexuan and Cheng Chumo came back, Han Yuxi had already prepared a pot of strong cocktail.
Cheng Chumo smelled the aroma of wine from afar. He threw the bag of saltpeter he was carrying onto Li Zexuan's shoulders and walked in impatiently.
Li Zexuan was behind and really wanted to catch this guy and beat him up.
"Hey, Miss Han, is this the strong new wine you're talking about? It's very refreshing just by the smell. Let me, Old Cheng, come and try it!"
When Li Zexuan came in, he saw Cheng Chumo pouring himself a full glass of wine. Then he raised his neck eagerly and poured it into his mouth. Li Zexuan couldn't stop him in time. This was strong alcohol.
Sure enough, after a glass of wine, Cheng Chumo turned red from his neck to his ears. He quickly put down the glass, bent down, and started coughing violently. His face suddenly turned as red as a monkey's butt.
"Ahem, Xiaoxuan, this wine is really... really... really strong, but I, Old Cheng, like it! Haha, uh, cough."
Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi looked at each other and were speechless at the joke.
... ... ... .
Yunxi Building, in a wing.
"Sir, this is the wine that Fei She took from Han Tianhu's house. My subordinates saw it and it is exactly the same as the wine they sold to our restaurant before."
The young man seemed to be in a good mood today. After hearing the middle-aged man's report, he turned around and opened the wine jar, sniffed the fruit wine inside, and said:
"This tastes good, but if Li Zexuan wants to make a comeback based only on this mountain fruit wine, wouldn't it be a bit fanciful?"
The middle-aged man said respectfully:
"Young Master is absolutely right. Now that we have Xia Shengyuan as the manager of Yunxi Building, the business is even more booming. My subordinates have made statistics and found that the number of diners who came this morning has almost caught up with the number of guests in the usual day, and those who have eaten All the guests are full of praise for Xia Shengyuan's cooking skills. I believe that our Yunxi Restaurant will become the number one restaurant in Chang'an before long."
The young master chuckled proudly and said, "Well, that's right. Now that Xia Shengyuan has come to our side, you can let his little granddaughter go later, so that he can work wholeheartedly for our Yunxi Tower."
"No, sir!"
The young master nodded and asked after a moment: "Nothing went wrong yesterday at Hanjiazhuang, right?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Young Master, please be at ease. The flying snake's ethereal magic cloud movement is unique in the world. Looking at today's martial arts world, there are not many people who can catch up with him. However, when he left last night, he was discovered by Han Tianhu. His subordinates I told him not to cause any complications, and he immediately ran away without revealing his identity."
Hearing this, the young master nodded and said: "You did a good job. It's really not appropriate to get involved at this time. But Han Tianhu really has some abilities, and he can detect them. You can't underestimate him in the future. The same mistake will definitely be made." Don’t do it twice.”
"No, sir!"
"You have done well recently, and I have noticed it. When I win this clan competition and gain power, I will not treat you badly."
A slap in the face and a sweet date, the young man still understands this.
The middle-aged man said happily: "Thank you, Master!"
… …
Yongle Square, Li Mansion.
In the front hall, it was lunch time, and several maids brought all kinds of delicacies and displayed them on the dining table. Li Jingmo greeted everyone to sit down, including of course Cheng Chumo, who was just drunk in the backyard. This guy came here to have a meal, and now that he saw such fine wine here, how could he move around, so Li He had an extra pair of chopsticks for lunch at the house.
"Dad, Uncle Han, how can we have good food without good wine? Just wait a moment, I'm going to bring you the new wine we just prepared this morning for you to try!"
Li Jingmo nodded, and Li Zexuan went to the west courtyard to get some wine.
Han Lizheng looked at his daughter in surprise and said, "Yuxi, you prepared the wine so quickly?"
Han Yuxi nodded and said: "The preliminary preparation has been completed. My daughter will try it again in the afternoon to see if there is a better preparation ratio."
…
After a while, Li Zexuan came back with two bottles of wine.
"Xuan'er, it's not like we don't have any wine at home, why do you have to mix wine yourself?"
Mrs. Li felt a little sad when she saw that her son had been busy bartending all morning. In her opinion, the family could not spend all their money, and she did not need her son to think of ways to make money. Now that my son has been knighted and has a status, all he needs to do is enjoy his life at home, and there is really no need to mess with all this.
Li Zexuan knew that my mother felt sorry for him and wanted him to be a rich second generation who was just waiting to die. But in this era, there were no mobile phones, no TVs, and no computers. He would probably get sick if he was idle every day. He had to give himself Find something to do.
"Mom, this kind of wine that I made is not available on the market. Mom, you will like it once you try it."
Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, mother doesn't drink."
"Mom, don't worry, this wine is not intoxicating. The wine I poured for you is specially prepared for people who don't know how to drink."
As Li Zexuan said this, he brought a glass cup, filled it and sent it to his mother. In this era, although the glass-making technology is immature, you can still buy some glass products at high prices from some Hu merchants. The Li family is a wealthy family, so of course they will have these luxuries at home.
Mrs. Li originally thought about why there is wine specifically for people who don’t know how to drink. Then she saw the bright red mixed wine in the glass cup in front of her. Her eyes were instantly attracted by this beautiful color. Living.
"Xuan'er, what kind of wine is this? The color is really beautiful."
"Mom, you taste it first, and then I'll tell you."
"This child..."
Mrs. Li smiled helplessly, picked up the wine glass, opened her red lips, took a tentative sip, and swallowed slowly, then closed her eyes and savored it carefully. After a while, she opened her eyes and praised:
"Xuan'er, this wine is really good. It's soft and mellow, with a lingering fragrance. It has the sweetness and sourness of mountain fruits and a hint of the fragrance of white wine, but it's not as spicy as white wine. It's very suitable for women. Xuan'er Please tell me, what is the name of this wine?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Haha, mother, I named this wine Wenwenxiang. Mother, what do you think?"
Mrs. Li nodded in agreement: "Well, yes, this name is very appropriate."
"Mom, Lan'er wants to drink it too!" When Lan'er saw the brightly colored wine and heard her mother's praise of the wine, the little girl immediately begged eagerly.
"No, Lan'er, you're still young, you'd better drink Shanguo Bar."
Li Zexuan was the first to object. Although this cocktail has a very low alcohol content, it is still wine. Lan'er is still young and drinking alcohol is not good for her health.
"Humph, stinky brother!"
Lan'er pouted, looking unhappy. Mrs. Li rubbed her little head in amusement.
"Dad, Uncle Han, this other kind of wine is specially prepared for you. It may be stronger. Please drink it slowly."
As a child, anger comes and goes quickly. Li Zexuan ignored the coquettish and irritated Lan'er, picked up another bottle of wine, and poured a glass for his father and Han Lizheng respectively.
"Hey, your father and I have never drunk any strong liquor, and Xuan'er, you still say it is so serious."
Father Li didn't take his son's words to heart.
Han Li saw the slightest hint of cold air rising from the top of the cup, and there were a few pieces of crushed ice inside the cup. He immediately exclaimed, "Master, why are there ice cubes in this?"
Li Jingmo also noticed something strange in the cup at this time, and he was also a little surprised: "Xuan'er, we don't have an ice cellar in our house, where did you get the ice cubes?"
Cheng Chumo calmly ate and drank on the sidelines without being surprised, secretly despising the two of them for making such a fuss. This idiot completely forgot that he was in the West Courtyard just now. When he saw Li Zexuan conjuring a few ice cubes from the water, his expression was much more surprised than Li Jingmo and Han Lizheng were now.
"Dad, Uncle Han, this is the ice-making method I learned from my master. How about you try this wine first?"
The two of them suppressed their surprise, picked up the wine glass, and took a sniff. Suddenly, an extremely strong aroma of wine and mountain fruit filled their nostrils. Han Li praised Li Jingmo:
"Sir, just from the smell, I can tell that this wine is absolutely extraordinary!"
Li Jingmo also nodded in agreement. Of course he had this knowledge. The two of them put away their contempt and took a sip, and both couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Absolutely, I have been drinking wine all my life, and I have never drunk such a strong and mellow wine. It is so enjoyable!"
Li Jingmo couldn't help but marvel.
Han Lizheng also sighed: "The fragrance of the mountain fruit has become more mellow after the fermentation of the strong liquor. The coldness of the ice cubes can suppress the spicy and burning heart of the strong liquor. Master, the wine you are mixing is really too good." Brilliant.”
Cheng Chumo also poured a glass. He hadn't had enough in the West Courtyard just now. After hearing Han Lizheng's sigh, he immediately gave a thumbs up and shouted: "Yes, yes, that's how it feels. Han Lizheng, please put it in the right place." Everything I wanted to say was said.”
Mrs. Li and Han Yuxi quickly covered their mouths and smiled.
Li Zexuan automatically filtered out Cheng Chumo's shameless words, and smiled at Han Lizheng: "This wine is thanks to Yu Xi. I only know the ingredients in it, and the ratio of each ingredient was researched by Yu Xi."
Mrs. Li also said next to her at this time: "Han Lizheng, you have given birth to a good daughter. Yu Xi is not only dignified and beautiful in appearance, but also clever and capable of everything. Who can marry such a beautiful girl in the future? But Xiu Eight lifetimes of blessings!”
She has always been very satisfied with Han Yuxi, a girl with a pretty appearance, protruding front and back, and a good childbearing child. It's a pity that her son has a dull head. He hasn't taken off the girl for so long, so she can only worry on the sidelines.
When Han Yuxi heard Mrs. Li praising her so much, she felt ashamed and happy. She lowered her head and did not dare to speak. Han Lizheng said quickly: "Old Madam, you are so complimentary. You are so complimentary."
Li Jingmo asked at this time: "Xuan'er, what's the name of this wine?"
Li Zexuan replied: "Dad, my son named it Shenxian Zui. What do you think?"
Li Jingmo pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "The immortal is drunk, which is quite appropriate. This wine has a strong stamina and is very easy to get intoxicated. Xuan'er, you told your father a few days ago that you want to make a new thing and sell it in Zuixian Tower. , came to confront Yun Xi Lou, is this the kind of wine you are talking about?"
Li Zexuan replied: "Yes, it's Wenwenxiang and Shenxianzui. Dad, what do you think our chances of winning are if we use these two wines to compete with Yunxilou?"
Li Jingmo stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said with unusual certainty: "From my father's point of view, once these two new wines have never appeared in the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Chang'an City. Our Zuixian Tower's chances of winning are at stake. More than 90%.”
