Chapter 530 530. Good wine, good wine!
"The general Qiaoqi is right, it is indeed a rare wine. If I guess correctly, there seems to be mulberries in it?"
"Why does it taste like cherry to me? ?”
“There’s more than one flavor? They’re all fruit wine!”
“This one is so mellow and different from others, and it’s quite refreshing!”< br>
"Taste carefully, there is a pure sweetness in the fragrance, not bad."
As the mellow liquid slides across the tip of the tongue, moisturizes the throat, slides into the throat, and floats warmly in the abdomen , slowly drifting in the nose
Good wine, good wine!
Everyone's taste buds were immediately captured after a glass of wine. Whether they were military generals or civil servants, they all fell down under a glass of wine. After tasting it, everyone showed an expression of enjoyment, and coughed towards their sides one after another to signal the waiter to give it. Pour your own wine.
The impatience made the protagonist of Wu'an Marquis Mansion laugh. The bearded Marquis burst into laughter.
"As long as you like it. It's just a little fruit wine and it's not a valuable thing. If you don't treat it well, you won't treat it well!"
Everyone: .
Do you want to listen to what you are saying? ?
If it weren’t for the proud yet superior expression on your face, they would almost believe it!
The generals drank one glass after another. Most of them were not satisfied with the drink and simply changed it to a larger bowl. They drank the bowl in one go, and their bold appearance made the people around them want to move.
Compared with the gentlemen, he was a little more reserved than the civil servants, and his movements were full of elegance, but the hand that frequently stretched out towards the small wine glass betrayed his inner eagerness.
It really won the love of all the guests.
Wu'an Hou laughed louder and louder, "Drink, everyone! Today is my son's happy day. It is really a blessing for me to have you all come to celebrate!"
Most of the guests were thoroughly entertained. Attracted by the fruit wine, I didn't notice that several people at the banquet had too calm expressions. These people were the same people who had tasted fruit wine before, Jiang Fu, Du Fu, and Yu Heting were also among them.
He took a sip and looked at the person beside him. Shen Xingluo nodded to him.
Oh, got it.
The rest of the people were silent as well, just enjoying the wine quietly.
"Master Marquis, the wine in your house is indeed one of a kind. I wonder where you got it from?"
The person who asked the question was still the knight who tasted the fruit wine first. The general, who even burped after several glasses of wine, was smacking his lips and downing another bowl of fruit wine in one gulp.
As soon as these words came out, some kind of switch was turned on, and the others all agreed, fearing that they would miss the wine if it was too late.
"Brother Qu, you can't keep it secretly. Please tell us where you bought it from." No! ”
"I guess it's a new product from Zuixianlou."
"It might also be from Xianshi Pavilion!"
"Marquis Wu'an, I'll treat you to a drink like this next time you come to my house." Wine!”
When Marquis Wu An saw that everyone was talking, and some of his colleagues who usually quarreled with him also joined in, the smile on his face became much brighter.
Hmph, so what if you don’t deal with me, or if you don’t like me?
Would you be able to drink such high-quality wine if you didn’t come today!
Looking at your salivating faces today, you probably want to carry a few jars back home, right?
Oh, if I don’t tell you, you will never even think about it.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
"Ahem, everyone!"
Wu'an Hou stroked his lush beard on his chin, "This is not a big deal originally. I, Qu, am the most generous person. You want this fruit wine? It’s very easy——”
Everyone: .
When did Marquis Wu An talk so much nonsense? You should tell me quickly. What kind of riddles are you trying to make?
Disgusting, so disgusting!
“This is the Qin family’s wine.”
At this time, Wu’an Hou almost had his hands on his hips, “The Qin family has recently developed several flavors of fruit wine and is planning to open a wine shop. Well, Mr. Qu is lucky enough to be the first to buy it. Aren’t you anxious to share it with everyone?”
“Ah, it turns out to be the Qin family.”
“No wonder, no wonder. ”
The Qin family is the richest businessman in Dayan. They started their business in grain and oil in their early years. Although their business has now expanded to all walks of life, grain shops have opened all over the world, so naturally they have wine shops.
However, those wine shops mainly focus on grain wine, and fruit wine like this has never appeared.
“The Qin family masters the brewing technology, no wonder they can brew such a mellow fruit wine.”
After thinking about it for a while, everyone accepted it as a matter of course. They heard the corner of Yu Heting’s mouth twitching and sighing secretly. Inherent cognition is not necessary.
Here Du Yuansong listened to everyone's discussion and took a sip from his wine glass again.
Ah, now I don't have to wait for the Shen family's New Year's Eve celebrations to drink fruit wine. It's great.
After drinking the fruit wine sent by the Shen family, God knows how much their family is looking forward to the arrival of various festivals.
He never thought that human relations could have such benefits!
Compared with the calmness of the guests at this table, Qin Zheng, the direct grandson of the Qin family, soon received special treatment. First, several unobtrusive Sheniu generals asked when and where the shop would be opened. In this way, when the civil servants saw that he was easy to talk to, they threw aside their reserve and gathered around him.
The banquet instantly turns into a fruit wine sales venue.
Qin - was forced to become the group favorite - Zheng: "."
Who will save me! o(╥﹏╥)o! ! !
***
After the wedding banquet at Wu'an Hou Mansion, the news that the Qin family was going to open a fruit wine shop spread throughout the capital.
The male guests who had tasted the fruit wine have never forgotten it since that day. As soon as they returned home, they ordered the housekeeper to keep an eye on the Qin family wine shop, for fear that they would not be able to grab the first-hand goods.
Of course, the female relatives are no less generous.
In order to take the first shot at selling fruit wine, the Qin family naturally had to think carefully. On the day of the wedding banquet, there were two types of fruit wine sold to the Marquis of Wu'an. One was a mellow type with a higher alcohol content, which was used by the Marquis of Wu'an. The group that came to entertain the male guests.
The second type is fruit wine with a lower alcohol content. It tastes sweet with just a hint of wine, and is more suitable for the taste of women. On the day of the reception, the maid arranged for a wedding banquet in the side yard.
After the two parties successfully manipulated it, the men and women who came to congratulate the guests were successfully captured.
“It is said that the Qin’s Restaurant was crowded with people on the day it opened, and the inventory was sold out before noon.”
Wang Shu was helping his master while talking about the news he heard from outside, "The boys in the queue were wailing and screaming that if they couldn't buy it back, they would be punished. The scene was miserable."
"So. It’s almost sold out? Is this store still open?”
Shen Xingqi was shocked.
“Is fruit wine so popular?”
“The popularity is indeed true. There are only a few types of fruit wine in the world. Although they are sweet, they are more bitter. Few people Can drink.”
The little girl was too young and lacked experience. Cheng Xi knew better. She had specially bought it and tasted it when Uncle Qin came to cooperate.
The taste is a bit hard to describe.
“But don’t worry too much. It’s impossible to have insufficient inventory in the wine shop. Uncle Qin purchased a large amount of fruit last year and will sell some tomorrow.”
Hunger Marketing? , I didn’t expect that the ancients also understood it. Or maybe the inventory in the shop is really sold out, and the remaining wine jars haven’t had time to be moved in?
Cheng Xi was more inclined to the first possibility, "The wine shop belongs to the Qin family, so we can consider it as a technical investment and wait until the end of the month to divide the accounts."
After hearing this, Shen Xingqi didn't plan to take care of it anymore. What my sister-in-law said was that it was really nice to have money to take out without having to worry about anything.
Oh, investing in technology saves trouble!
“It will be great if our lipstick shop can save time and effort when it opens.”
“That’s unlikely.”
Cheng Xi laughed. How could this young girl think about salted fish all day long?
“It’s your first time to open a shop. Even if there are experienced stewards watching over management, there are still many things that you have to make up your mind about.”
< br>"Huh? Is it so troublesome?"
"If you find it troublesome, you can find some books on management."
The little girl is already old enough, and it is really time for her to learn to run a business. .
Cheng Xi suddenly realized that she had a long way to go as a sister-in-law. In the past, Shen Xingqi could only rely on her own consciousness in reading, literacy and embroidery, but as she got older, she also needed the necessary knowledge of this era.
“Forget it, I’ll find it for you, I’m good at this.”
Business management must be included in the study curriculum.
Shen Xingqi. Shen Xingqi hummed a few times with a bitter look on her face, lamenting in her heart that her free time was being compressed into less and less.
Oh~ I’d better read less story books and TV series in the future~~o(╥﹏╥)o~~
"Sister-in-law, what are we eating today?"
"Chicken noodles."
Cheng Xi put the prepared whole chicken into a casserole and stewed it, "The spring rain has been heavy these days. One game after another, the air is really a little bit It’s moist, let’s drink more soup and water to get rid of the moisture.”
After the wedding banquet, it began to rain lightly in the capital. It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil, and the farmers in the fields like it the most. , but Cheng Xi didn’t like it very much.
There is too much moisture in the air and it always feels sticky. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bite of noodles and a bowl of soup at this time?
When Shen Xingqi heard this, she immediately forgot her depression, "My brother and I have eaten chicken noodle soup before. I think it should be slightly different from what my sister-in-law makes. It must be extremely delicious."
Cheng Xi:.
Girl, are your filters for me a bit thick?
I really just want to make simple chicken noodle soup!
The sound of slurping soon came from the casserole where the whole chicken was put. The ginger slices and scallions used to remove the fishy smell were floating on the water, and a fragrance gradually spread from the kitchen.
Taking advantage of the simmering process, Wangshu began to knead the noodles. His hands moved skillfully in the porcelain basin, adding water, stirring, kneading and other actions in one go, as if he was a master chef who could hold a spoon.
"You need to knead the noodles for a while longer to make them taste more chewy."
"Okay."
After giving instructions, Cheng Xi took the basket and went to the small courtyard. In the small vegetable field, when I came back, there was a bit more green in the bamboo basket. The tender green rapeseed was only the size of a palm. It would taste delicious if washed and blanched in hot water.
After repeated kneading, the dough becomes tighter and firmer. It is dipped in a small amount of flour and stretched into thin strips. After repeated many times, the noodles become thin and long.
The chicken soup was boiled quickly. Put the stretched noodles in and bring to a boil, then add the washed rapeseed. After a while, a bowl of original chicken soup noodles was ready.
Shen Xingqi’s eyes widened.
Ah, this is really simple.
“Sister-in-law, are there any other side dishes?”
This simple style is really not suitable for her sister-in-law.
"Side dishes? If you want to eat, of course there are."
Cheng Xi always responds to requests, "Don't we still have braised beef at home? Cut a few plates and put them aside. If you want to eat, you can get the chicken soup for yourself. In the noodles, oh by the way, prepare some spicy cabbage and salted duck eggs.”
This will make it richer.
Shen Xingqi:
The little girl was silent for a moment and prepared according to her instructions, even adding a few extra items herself.
So when everyone in the Shen family gathered at the dining table, in addition to a bowl of chicken noodle soup garnished with rapeseed in front of each person, there were also many side dishes, not to mention the common pork, beef and mutton, and even the round various There are also a lot of fish balls, and even lobster meat and abalone.
“Oh, today’s meal is simple but not simple at the same time. It’s really uncommon!”
Cheng Daqian rubbed his hands happily, “Xiao Xingqi, get some spicy food. Come on, it’s raining outside again. It’s just right to drink the spicy soup.”
“Let’s go.”
The little girl ran to the kitchen.
It was raining outside, with the smell of dust floating everywhere, and the occasional chirping of birds. The locust tree next door looked over, and a patch of peonies bloomed beautifully under the courtyard wall.
Everyone in the room put the legendary ingredients into their bowls, took a sip of the chewy and smooth noodles, and then took a sip of the chicken soup that had been simmered for an hour. It was so beautiful.
After half a bowl, everyone felt warm in their stomachs. Cheng Daqian even had a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead because of the chili oil added to the soup.
Everyone’s belly will be round after a meal.
Shen Xingluo ate two bowls of chicken noodle soup in succession. He also finished the soup, but he didn't eat much meat.
"Is the food in the Hanlin Academy so hard to swallow? Why do you eat more every time you come back from work?"
"Not as good as my wife."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Xi comforted him irresponsibly. After thinking about it, she felt that it was really hard for the No. 1 Scholar. He shouldn’t spend all day combing through endless copywriting and endure the torture of his food and stomach. .
"Let me prepare an insulated food box for you from tomorrow. Only when you eat well can you be in a good mood."
"It's up to you."
"Then it's such a happy decision."
However, the next day is another holiday. To be precise, it is the Qingqing Festival of Dayan. People will choose to worship their ancestors and go on an outing on this day, and officials from top to bottom will not take up their posts.
“Isn’t it Qingming Festival?”
“Yes, but it’s a little later than your day.”
"Sure enough, all the worlds in the universe are similar."
Cheng Xi turned over and complained. He opened his eyes and looked out. There was still a bit of coolness in the morning air, and there was a pattering of rain in the yard. It's raining lightly.
“Ah ah ah ah, I don’t want to get up, I’ll sleep a little longer.”
On a rainy day, it’s best to lie in bed.
She stretched out her hand and pulled the quilt that had slipped down to cover her head. She shrank in again and didn't want to come out.
Shen Xingluo was leaning on the bedside reading as usual, and when he saw this, he tucked the gaps in the quilt for her.
"Then just sleep a little longer. It doesn't matter if you have breakfast later."
The Shen family's schedule is very humane. If Shen Xingluo took up his job, he would have been careful about it. It has become a common rule that everyone wakes up early to eat together and postpones it for half an hour if it is a holiday.
The family is simple and there are not so many rules. They just do whatever feels comfortable.
