Chapter 185
A bowl of red-to-purple wine floated in front of Liu Bian. He only smelled it before he recognized the origin of the wine.

"Glow wine glass?"

Liu Bian slightly raised his eyebrows, and then smiled at Shangguan Wan'er who was pouring wine, the meaning of which was understood by only the two of them.

This Liangzhou Ci was written by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han, Liu Bian learned it from the textbooks of his previous life, and Shangguan Wan'er heard about it at that time.

"I wonder if Wan'er has ever met Wang Han?"

Liu Bian suddenly thought of this twist. Both Shangguan Wan'er and Wang Han were from the Tang Dynasty, and they might have met each other before.

Everyone around didn't know who this Wang Han Liu Bian was talking about, and they all looked at Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er blinked, then laughed softly: "I've seen it before, but when I saw him, he didn't have such skill."

Liu Bian was slightly taken aback, emotionally Shangguan Wan'er was older than Wang Han, and he didn't know all about these details, so he could only smile and shake his head immediately, and secretly decided to find Shangguan in the future Wan'er, learn more about Tang Dynasty gossip.

The wine highly praised by everyone in the mansion is the wine brewed by Shangguan Wan'er herself. It tastes clear and sweet, with a fruity aroma of grapes, so it is naturally welcomed by the women in the mansion.

While Liu Bian was drinking, he thought of another thing.

The drinks in the Eastern Han Dynasty were indeed slightly inferior, at least in the eyes of Liu Bian, a traveler. I believe Shangguan Wan'er had a similar idea, otherwise she wouldn't have brewed her own wine to drink.

Liu Bian really didn't know much about brewing, but he also knew how to brew the most common and easiest rice wine, but it was much better than the wine he had drunk here.

That being the case, is it possible that I can use this wine making method to make another fortune?

Since stationed in Luoyang, Liu Bian has been thinking about money in many things. There is no way, everything here requires money, military pay, ordnance, food, craftsmen department, there are too many places to use money.

Although the He family in Nanyang is indeed rich, it is no match for the expenditure of Luoyang City. The business of Tang silk has not yet been fully developed. This thing has a production cycle, and the current benefits are not as good as Liu Bian's manufacturing machines and equipment. The workers' expenses, so Liu Bian had to find a way to get money faster.

And this brewing is indeed a good way.

In fact, it does not take too long to brew wine, especially rice wine, even a few days is enough.

"Wan'er can make wine?"

Liu Bian looked at Shangguan Wan'er, the brilliance in his eyes was like seeing a pile of gold.

"What are your orders, my lord?"

Shangguan Wan'er possessed the mind-observing skill, and after only one glance at Liu Bian, she knew that something was wrong with Liu Bian.

"Ha ha……"

Liu Bian chuckled and said, "Look, Tang Silk's business has basically been rolled out now, and the rest only needs to be produced and publicized. You already have a lot of free time here. I think if you're okay, Can you help me oversee something?"

"Wine?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, and the corner of her mouth curled up in an arc that understood everything.

"Wine?"

Tang Ji beside Liu Bian looked at Liu Bian in surprise and said, "Your Highness, do you want Mr. Shangguan to mass-produce this wine?"

"Really?"

Mulan on the other side also turned her head, then looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said:
"However, as Shangguan said before, it seems that this wine cannot be produced in large quantities, and the techniques used are quite complicated..."

"Do not."

Liu Bian shook his head lightly and said, "It's not wine, but another kind of wine."

"Another wine?"

Now everyone looked at Liu Bian, and Empress Dowager He couldn't help asking:

"Your Highness, do you still know how to make wine?"

"That's right, I learned it from Shi Daoren in my early years. Mom, you should have seen him too, so you don't think that the drinks in his Taoist temple are different?"

Liu Bian turned his head to look at Empress Dowager He with a natural expression on his face.

"This……"

Empress Dowager He blinked her charming eyes, and said doubtfully, "I've only met him, and all I drink there is tea... I haven't heard anyone mention how the drinks in his Taoist temple are..."

"That's no wonder."

Liu Bian chuckled and said, "If mother wants to drink, then Daoist Shi will definitely bring out his private fine wine, but if it's the guards below, he must just buy some bad wine to fool him. After all, he is also a wine lover. "

Of course, Empress Dowager He didn't fully understand what Shi Daoren was like, and she would naturally believe what Liu argued.

Hearing what Liu Bian said, Empress Dowager He immediately asked:

"Then how did His Highness learn this method? That Daoist Shi actually taught you such a method of brewing wine? I asked him to teach you more poetry and literature, but I didn't expect this guy to teach you these things."

Empress Dowager He was a little displeased, but the matter had come to this point, and Daoist Shi couldn't find where the person was, so he could only get angry.

Liu Bian laughed and said:

"I can't blame him for that. I was the one who pestered him back then and insisted on learning how to practice alchemy. He should have been ordered by his mother, and he also knew that he couldn't teach me everything indiscriminately, so he used this wine making method to fool me. Fortunately This wine is really extraordinary, I guess, this should also be regarded as a unique skill of Shi Taoren."

Liu Bian smiled. Shangguan Wan'er had already taken out a pen and paper from the room, placed it in front of Liu Bian and said, "In that case, please write down the method, and I will start supervising the construction soon."

"it is good."

Liu Bian took the pen and wrote down the rice wine brewing method he knew in his previous life on the paper, writing while saying:

"The brewing method of this wine is simple, but it needs food. You can brew it in large quantities, but you have to calculate the cost when selling it. Such a good wine, I believe someone will sell it if the price is higher!"

After finishing writing, Liu Bian handed the piece of paper to Shangguan Wan'er and said:
"Try to get some out first, and give it to everyone in the house to taste. If there is no problem, we will start production."

"As ordered."

Shangguan Wan'er finished the paper, glanced up and down, then bent her eyes into two crescent moons, and said with a quite happy smile: "Finally, I can see the wine you once drank, my lord."

Everyone around nodded in agreement, saying that they would also try the wine that Liu Bian had seen since he was a child.

But Liu Bian understood that what Shangguan Wan'er said did not mean the same thing as what they said.

The banquet didn't dissipate until late at night, and everyone returned home happily.

Fortunately, all of them were women, so their drinking capacity was limited. Even Mulan didn't have much drinking capacity, and Liu Bian didn't drink too much. She deliberately reserved some for Shangguan Wan'er, so that she wouldn't have a lot to do when she was bored.

Time flies, and winter will soon pass.

Three months have passed, and the weather has begun to show some signs of warming up. The glaciers have thawed and everything has recovered.

In the past three months, Luoyang City has been relatively peaceful. When the weather is freezing, even bandits and bandits are reluctant to come out to work.

In March, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong went through three more defense drills, in which Huang Zhong won twice and Zhao Yun won once.

And on this day when the weather was getting warmer and the cold spring breeze was blowing, Liu Bian finally, together with Shangguan Wan'er and the young genius Ma Jun, made the finished product of Zhuge Liannu.
