Weiyuan Marquis is nearly forty years old, but due to his strong martial arts and proper maintenance, he looks only in his early thirties. He was thin, with a high temperament, and he was imbued with the charm of a scholar and a gentleman, without the vulgarity of a military general.
However, when he raised his eyebrows and his eyes turned cold, an aura that no one dared to resist poured out involuntarily, making his scalp tingle. Qin Erniang was trembling with fright, and hurriedly tugged at Lin Dan's sleeve, and whispered, "Little boss, don't be stubborn with him, he is the Marquis of Weiyuan, killing people like hemp!"
Lin Dan naturally knew that this person was Wei Yuanhou, but he just raised his jaw slightly to look at the other side, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not change at all.
Tang Jiu stepped forward and stood in the middle of the two of them. He cupped his hands to Weiyuan Hou and said, "Master Hou, there is really no Qianri Wine in the store."
"Tang Shizi, have you come back from the north?" Weiyuan Hou glanced at him casually, with a hint of toughness in his gentle voice, "Hu Feng told me that the wine was made by herself, no, Ben Hou can wait, but yes If you don't want to sell it, what's the point?"
"Tang Shizi?" Lin Dan ignored Wei Yuanhou's questioning at all, stepped forward and looked at Tang Jiu carefully, his face was full of surprise: "Are you the little prince?" It should be thought that this person is Tang Cheng, the youngest son of Yongding Houfu. I don't know what he has experienced in these years, but he has grown from a beautiful young man with a color like spring flowers to his current appearance. His facial features are still handsome, but he has a very strong masculinity. It added a sense of violence to him, and his tight-fitting clothes couldn't wrap his strong muscles at all. Compared with the elegant young man of the year, he was completely different.
Not to mention the indifferent Lin Dan, even if the original owner who loved Xiao Hou Ye deeply came, he probably wouldn't recognize him.
Tang Jiu's body froze, and quickly explained: "Lin Dan, listen to me, I originally planned to tell you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Dan laughed first, not a fake smirk pretending to be generous, nor a wry smile that was deceived, but a genuine joy to see the old man: "Little Marquis, I haven't seen you for many years. Come and be safe, is the old man in good health?"
Tang Jiu suddenly became dumb, and said quietly, "Okay, we are all fine." Lin Dan was not angry, he should be relieved, but why was his heart full of disappointment
"This Marquis is not here to listen to you two. Manager Lin, do you want to sell or not sell this thousand-day wine?" Weiyuan Marquis's gentle voice has been completely replaced by coldness. Several of his guards all pressed their hands on the handle of the knife, as if they would explode in the next instant.
A group of people blocked the door. The diners in the store wanted to run, but they didn't dare to run, and they didn't dare to stay if they wanted to stay.
Lin Dan, however, still had a calm look, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Marquis, have you ever heard of Peng Ya?"
"The Corpse said: Chixian Prefecture is the ruins of Kunlun. Its brine is floating into buds, and red grass grows on it. After eating one of them, they were drunk for three years." Weiyuan Hou's expression was a little surprised. He thought it was just a legend.
"Thousand-day wine can be enjoyed once, drunk for three years, what kind of wine can be brewed with such a strong stamina? I followed this clue and searched down, and finally found Peng Ya, which has been restored for hundreds of years. The old wine recipe. But Hou Ye knew that this Peng Ya floats once a year and produces a hundred fruits at a time. Only a thousand fruits can make a jar of wine. It took me three years to get a jar, but it has been ruined by the bandits. Where are you going to make another jar for you? What I just said is only one, and the other. Lord Hou came back to Beijing to recover from illness, but do you know what disease you have? I see Lord Hou’s face red. White lips, red eyes, irritability and irritability should be signs of liver damage. Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines. It is a hot and unique substance, and it is especially harmful to the liver. If I add another jar of such strong alcohol If you sell the wine to you, who is it if you get sicker?"
Lin Dan said slowly: "For the sake of the Lord Hou's body, I can't sell this jar of wine, I hope you Haihan."
Hey! After all, it became mine, didn't it? Weiyuan Hou turned the wrench on his hand, and his cold and hard expression was a little loose. The leader of the guards who came with him hurried forward and whispered: "Marquis, the imperial physician Qian explained and instructed you not to drink too much, you should just listen to what the old man has to say. This thousand-day alcohol is too harmful to the body. Shall we not buy it?"
The guards who were still aggressive before, as if they were about to smash the store if they disagreed, all softened their expressions now. It's just right not to sell this wine. They still want to wait for Lord Hou's recovery and follow him back to the Southeast Station as soon as possible.
"It's ok if you don't buy wine," Weiyuan Hou knew that his subordinates were doing it for his own good, but he came back in a bad mood. The shop assistant said that you can cook all kinds of dishes and satisfy the guests? Well, I'll order a table of dishes made with wine, can you? If you don't do well and don't satisfy Ben Hou, Ben Hou will take this restaurant The store was smashed."
Speaking of which, the seemingly suave and suave Marquis of Weiyuan finally revealed some of the roughness and domineering unique to generals.
Whether you are satisfied or not depends on your mouth? Tang Jiu frowned and was about to stand up for the theory. Others are afraid of Weiyuanhou, but he is not afraid.
Lin Dan grabbed him and nodded, "Naturally."
"Little girl has little knowledge but is very crazy, so she agreed so easily, and you don't listen to my request." Weiyuanhou continued, "Don't think that pouring such a cup and a half of cooking wine will make the ingredients smell of wine. , even if it is a dish made with wine. What Ben Hou means is, make a dish with wine itself, and you will be full of wine in one bite, but it will not hurt your liver, can you?"
As soon as this request was made, all the diners were in an uproar. In cooking, wine can only play a role in seasoning, and I have never heard of it being able to cook. That's wine, it's equivalent to a handful of water. It can be scalded in a pot at most, and then put into a pot. I've never heard of any cook who can make it into a dish. Don't say anything, just say how do you mix the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors into the wine, so that it can not only taste, satisfy the stomach, but also satisfy the appetite, this is the biggest problem.
Weiyuanhou is clearly here to smash the field!
Tang Jiu glared angrily, and said word by word, "Master Hou, you are hard to beat. If you are too busy, why don't you go home and drink more Chinese medicine to keep your body healthy."
"Little bastard, when will it be your turn to take care of Ben Hou's affairs?" Weiyuan Hou sneered again and again.
But Lin Dan slowly tied his head scarf, and said slowly, "Cooking with wine? Okay, Lord Hou, please wait a moment." The nervous Xiaozhu took out a jar that he treasured.
Seeing the well-sealed jar, Weiyuan Hou smiled smugly: "You said that there is no wine, so why don't you take it out? Tell you, if this jar of wine you gave to Ben Hou is not as good as a thousand days of wine, Ben Hou is still smashing your store, begging for mercy is useless." He thought that Lin Dan could not cook with wine, so he gave in first.
However, Lin Dan just smiled lightly, patted open the mud seal at the mouth of the jar, and carefully fished out something with a slotted spoon. Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised. I saw that this thing was half-arm long, long, and the whole body was crystal clear and green, like jade, but it bounced on the cutting board. It was very soft and delicate, and it looked like some kind of food. As soon as it was revealed, it covered the taste of the Qixiang marinade, which was very domineering.
Even Marquis Weiyuan, who had read countless wines, couldn't tell the origin of this thing for a while, so he couldn't help but ask, "What is this thing?" He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sniffed again. Fragrant, this thing is really fragrant, and it's not worse than Thousand Days Wine.
"I learned the brewing method of this wine in Yanglin County. It is fermented with dozens of medicinal materials such as Codonopsis, jujube, dried tangerine peel and clove. , even if it is dry vinegar without water, it will not get drunk after drinking hundreds of altars, which is the opposite of the liquor of the thousand days. Blindly, that is fat."
Make wine with fat meat, this is really unheard of! Everyone present couldn't help but in an uproar, but when they saw the emerald green object placed on the cutting board, they had to believe it.
Weiyuanhou's eyes were all rounded, and the uneasy feeling in his heart was completely replaced by curiosity. He loves wine, and naturally loves listening to winemaking stories, especially Lin Dan seems to know a lot about all kinds of strange wines, which makes him even more interested. He suddenly realized that he had misunderstood this little girl. She was so arrogant because she had little knowledge.
Lin Dan cut the crystal clear, green and lovely meat strips into thin slices, and said slowly, "This jar of wine has just been sealed for three months, and it has not been brewed yet, but this meat has already absorbed the wine and has become crystal clear. It looks like ice jade. Don't think it's strange, but there is a similar winemaking method in Baiyue area called jade ice burning, which is how it got its name."
She put the cut meat into a basin, poured two spoons of Qixiang marinade on it, scratched it with her hands and marinated it. After that, she took out the unfermented glutinous rice grains that had been soaked for a day. Light soy sauce, pepper, allspice and other seasonings, set aside.
Everything was ready, she poured the marinated ice jade meat slices into the glutinous rice and stirred it evenly, then steamed it in the steamer for three quarters of an hour. After finishing the plate, she calmly sprinkled a little ginger and chopped green onion, and it was a dish. He also asked Xiaozhu to take out his kimchi jar, clipped some bean sprouts from it, scattered them one by one in a small plate, and added a drop of sesame oil for decoration.
"Master Hou, please use it." Lin Dan gently placed the dish on the table. After two muffled sounds came, Weiyuanhou finally regained his senses and stared at her with astonishment in his eyes.
Lin Dan explained in a soft voice, "This dish is called steamed pork with wine and rice noodles. Although it is made of wine, it does not harm the liver. Instead, it strengthens the spleen and lungs, strengthens the heart muscle, and is very healthy. This dish is called Liao Zao Mung Bean Sprouts. The gallbladder and veins can relieve alcohol and poison. You can try it first, if it does not meet your requirements, you will smash this store, and I have nothing else to say."
Wei Yuanhou, who had lost his appetite for a long time because of his liver injury, picked up chopsticks unconsciously.
