After lunch, Li Zexuan remembered that Han Yuxi wanted to try the newly brewed fruit wine in the morning, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian and Yan Shaoning.
Thinking of this, Li Zexuan went to Mingyue Xuan to find Han Yuxi.
"Master, are you here?" Han Yuxi said happily.
"Well, weren't we about to try the newly brewed fruit wine in the morning, were we interrupted? I came here to try it in the afternoon." Li Zexuan nodded.
"Master, please sit here while Yu Xi goes to pour you some wine."
Li Zexuan smiled and nodded, and then Han Yuxi walked into the back room to get some wine.
After a while, Han Yuxi came out holding a wine gourd and a wine glass.
"Master, please try it." Han Yuxi poured a glass of wine and handed it over.
Li Zexuan took the wine glass and sniffed lightly. A mellow wild fruit fragrance penetrated his nostrils, making him feel as if he was in the fields and mountains. Li Zexuan took a sip. It was sweet and fragrant. Even though he drank it once in Hanjiazhuang last time, he still had an amazing feeling when he drank it again.
"Yu Xi, who did you learn this brewing technique from? I think many brewing masters in the city can't make wine as good as yours."
Li Zexuan drank the fruit wine and couldn't help but asked doubtfully.
Hearing Li Zexuan's praise, Han Yuxi smiled and said: "Young Master, thank you for your praise. How can Yu Xi's craftsmanship be compared with the brewing masters in the city. My mother taught me this brewing craft. My father has always loved drinking my mother's wine." After my mother passed away, I made wine for my father to drink."
Unexpectedly, Yu Xi’s mother was also a brewing master. Li Zexuan continued to ask: “In addition to making fruit wine, Yu Xi, do you also know how to make other wines?”
Han Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes, my mother also taught me liquor and sake, including Yingzhou Fushui, Wucheng Ruoxia, Hezhong Sangluo, Yuanzhou Yichun, Xingyang Tukuchun, Fuping Shilangchun, Jiannan Shaochun, Hedong Ganhe Grape, Lingnan Yunxiboluo, Yicheng Jiuling, Xunyang Penshui, Qidilu Wine, etc.”
Han Yuxi picked up the wine she knew how to brew with her fingers.
Li Zexuan was dumbfounded. Is this okay
"Uh, Yu Xi, how come your mother can make so many kinds of wine?"
Han Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I heard from my mother that my grandfather Du Daoling was the most famous wine-making master in the former Sui Dynasty. Even Wei Xuancheng and Wei Shangshu of our dynasty praised his wine-making skills. My mother's wine-making skills I learned the craftsmanship from my grandfather.”
Li Zexuan asked curiously: "Who is Wei Xuancheng? Does he have a lot of research on wine making?"
Han Yuxi's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Master, you don't even know Wei Zheng, Zuocheng, Minister of Finance, right?"
ah? Wei Xuancheng turned out to be Wei Zheng. In his previous life, Li Zexuan had heard that Wei Zheng was not only a direct minister, but also a brewing master. Unexpectedly, Han Yuxi's grandfather's brewing skills were still superior to Wei Zheng's. It was really surprising.
"Ahem, who knows Wei Xuancheng and Wei Shangshu? I'm just testing you."
Li Zexuan made random nonsense, and regardless of whether Han Yuxi believed it or not, he continued to ask: "Then Yuxi, why didn't you make liquor and sell it before?"
Han Yuxi said sadly: "The food left in Hanjiazhuang over the years is not enough to eat. How can there be any extra food to make wine?"
Li Zexuan patted his head, that's it.
"Yuxi, do you know why I bought Hanjiazhuang's mountain fruit wine at a high price?"
Han Yuxi said gratefully: "Yuxi knows that the young master is here to help our farmers in Hanjiazhuang, and those fruit wines are not actually worth that much."
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Although I have the intention of helping Hanjiazhuang, it is not all because of this. When I was in Longhu Mountain before, I saw my master often drinking a brightly colored wine.
My master said that it was a mixed wine invented by people from Dashi. After drinking it a few times, my master felt that the taste was very special, so he figured out the recipe and brewed it himself.
There is a very important ingredient in this recipe, which is mountain fruit wine. The quality of the mountain fruit wine produced by Yu Xi Ni is considered to be the highest among fruit wines, and it is the most ideal raw material for this kind of mixed wine.
That's why I paid a high price to buy your mountain fruit wine. I thought that after buying it, I would find a wine master to blend the mixed wine, and it would definitely sell well in the future. "
Talking about what she is best at, Han Yuxi also became very interested and asked curiously: "Master, what is the name of this wine? Is it really that delicious?"
"I heard from my master that this is called **tail wine, which is usually made temporarily when drinking. As for whether it tastes good or not, I don't know how to taste wine, and I don't know. But my master has tasted all the fine wines in the world, and in the end he only I have a special liking for this cocktail, so I think this wine should taste good." Li Zexuan continued to use his master as a shield.
That's right, what Li Zexuan wanted to make was a cocktail. In his previous life, Li Zexuan and his uncle had watched a movie about a plane crashing, but I forgot the specific name. In it, a black captain wanted to drink a cocktail on the plane, but it turned out that there was no cocktail, so he just added wine to the juice and drank it as a cocktail.
But one day when his uncle was having dinner at his house, he suddenly remembered this episode, so he mixed an equal amount of Huiyuan 100% orange juice into half a glass of whiskey. It turned out that his uncle enjoyed the drink very much.
Out of curiosity, he later went online to check how to prepare cocktails. Cocktails generally use spirits such as rum, tequila, vodka, and whiskey as base liquor, and are supplemented with other auxiliary materials such as juice, egg white, milk, and sugar. , a drink that is stirred or shaken, and can be garnished with lemon slices, fruit or mint leaves.
He can directly distill the spirits from the existing liquor of the Tang Dynasty, and directly replace the fruit juice with the fruit wine brewed by Han Yuxi, which should have better results. After mixing, add some ice cubes to it. In the hot summer, Li Zexuan believes that no good drinker can resist this temptation.
As for how to obtain ice cubes, Li Zexuan said that any time traveler would know such a simple question. But we have to find a way to get Dad to buy a saltpeter mine first, otherwise the price of saltpeter will definitely be expensive by the time everyone reacts.
When the time comes, think about a group of people from the Tang Dynasty, drinking cocktails. This scene is quite touching!
When Han Yuxi heard that Li Zexuan spoke so well about the cocktail, she couldn't help but asked eagerly, "Master, can you let Yu Xi try to make this cocktail?"
Li Zexuan was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he was unwilling, but that he couldn't bear it. If he asked Han Yuxi to mix wine, she would definitely have to try a lot of wine. He was afraid that Han Yuxi would get drunk.
When Han Yuxi saw the young master looking embarrassed, she thought it was because the young master didn't want to teach her the recipe, and a trace of sadness and dejection flashed in her eyes. He quickly said: "I'm sorry, Master, it was Yu Xi who was careless."
Li Zexuan saw that her face was gloomy, and he didn't know that she had misunderstood. He quickly explained: "Yuxi, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want you to try it. I'm just worried that when you are mixing wine, you taste too much wine. Drunk."
When Han Yuxi heard this, she realized that she had misunderstood. Her expression changed from sadness to joy, and she said sheepishly: "Master, you don't have to worry about this. Yuxi has a special physique and will never get drunk no matter how much she drinks since she was a child. My father and I I don’t know what’s going on.”
Li Zexuan was shocked and dumbfounded. Is there such a thing? In his previous life, he had also seen on the Internet that there was a kind of person who was born to be intoxicated even after drinking seven or eight kilograms of liquor. He did not expect to meet such a strange person in the Tang Dynasty.
"Uh, Yu Xi, are you telling the truth?" Li Zexuan still couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask my father."
"Uh uh uh, no need, I believe it, I believe it. That's no problem. It just so happens that you are also the brewing master, Yu Xi. I will copy the recipe to you later. As for the ratio of various raw materials, you can try it slowly.
When you return to Hanjiazhuang this time, tell your father that when I finish some things in my hands, you will come to Chang'an to help me bartend. On behalf of my father, I am trying to hire you as the bartender of our Zuixian Tower, with a monthly salary of ten yuan. how? "
Teaching this recipe to Han Yuxi was more reassuring than teaching it to anyone else. Li Zexuan really didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly.
Han Yuxi was very surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that she could finally help the young master. She quickly said: "Master, you have helped our Hanjiazhuang so much. How can Yuxi ask for wages? Yuxi is already very happy to be able to help the young master mix drinks. .”
Li Zexuan insisted: "You deserve this monthly salary. You must want it. If you don't want it, I will no longer help Hanjiazhuang."
Han Yuxi could only nod awkwardly.
… …
In the morning, I watched the military parade marking the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army. The troops were ordered on the battlefield, the great power was majestic, and the troops were ordered to support Zhu Rihe. The three armies were excited and my blood was boiling! No matter how much people complain about it, I think every Chinese son and daughter will have their blood surge up and their hair stand on end when they see this mighty and majestic army and hear the passionate music. They will be proud of being in such a great country. This is a great achievement. This kind of trembling in the soul made the knight somewhat at a loss for words. It is undeniable that without the protection of such a powerful people's army, how can those keyboard warriors still spray this and that on the Internet? Cherish the moment!
I have to say, the J-20 is so handsome!
If you didn’t watch it this morning, be sure to watch the replay!
