The Daily Life of the Husband and Wife Selling Dog Food Through Time Traveling

Jiang Ning and the others followed him into the winery. As soon as they entered the door, there was a strong smell of alcohol, filling the tip of their noses. In the hot summer weather, it was even hotter. After a while, they were steaming. A layer of sweat broke out all over his body.

As the man led the way, he asked, "I am the shopkeeper of the wine shop, my surname is Zhao. I wonder what kind of wine you two want to buy? Our wine shop has a complete range of wines, and we have most of the wines."

Jiang Ning looked at the scene in the yard and said, "What is the best wine here?"

Shopkeeper Zhao replied with a smile: "The best in our Zhaoji Distillery is naturally the Sanweijiu. It is well-known in Yuezhou City. I will take the two of you to have a look."

He said, pushing open the door of a room, and said with some pride: "All the wine in our winery is here. I'm not boasting. There is no winery in Yuezhou City that has more wine than ours." , I don’t know which one the customer wants to buy?”

Several rows of large wine vats were neatly piled up in the room, as tall as half a person, and the gaps between the vats were filled with dry thatch. Jiang Ning looked at it and asked, "Can I have a taste?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said boldly, "Naturally."

As he spoke, he took a rough clay bowl, scooped out a spoonful of wine from a small wine jar next to it, and handed it to Jiang Ning, "Try it, this is the best Sanwei wine in our wine shop."

Jiang Ning thanked him, took the wine bowl, shopkeeper Zhao poured another half of the bowl and handed it to Ding Yu who was beside him, and said with a smile: "This little brother also come to taste."

Jiang Ning looked at the wine in the bowl in his hand. The color of the wine was yellow and looked cloudy. He hesitated for a moment, took a sip, frowned almost invisibly, and then drank the wine in the bowl. The taste is a little hard to describe.

He knew that the ancient brewing technology was immature, even very backward. The production process is very simple. Generally, grains such as wheat sorghum and koji are put together for closed fermentation. After a few days, after filtering and boiling, ready to eat.

This kind of wine has a very low concentration, cloudy color, sweetness with bitterness, and bitterness with sweetness. It tastes like no wine at first. Entrance.

He put down the bowl and asked, "Is there any stronger wine?"

Shopkeeper Zhao was taken aback: "A bit stronger? Is this not strong enough?"

Jiang Ning looked at the bowl in his hand, and said in surprise: "Is this the strongest wine?" He swore he only tasted a little bit of numbness, like the feeling of eating pepper, and then it disappeared in a flash. If, this is The so-called spirits...

Ding Yu on the side finished drinking, smashed his mouth, and said to Jiang Ning: "The three-flavored wine is really not strong enough. It tastes sweet first and then astringent. The guests don't like it too much. Besides, this wine has too much koji. , The fermentation time is also a little longer, too much."

After hearing this, shopkeeper Zhao immediately argued: "The excessive fermentation is caused by the hot weather recently, and other wines don't have this problem."

When Jiang Ning heard the words, he knew that Ding Yu was right. He smiled slightly and said to shopkeeper Zhao: "I'm bothering the shopkeeper. Let's go and see other wines first. If there is nothing suitable, come back here."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, shopkeeper Zhao had no choice but to nod and said: "Naturally, the guest should go slowly."

Jiang Ning and Ding Yu came out of Zhaoji Winery, the third room diagonally opposite was Liuweng Winery, they were about to pass by, Ding Yu suddenly let out a sigh, walked a few steps, and said: "It turns out that this restaurant The wine shop is still there."

Jiang Ning followed, looked up, and saw three large characters written on the plaque on the door of the winery: Zui Lai Fang.

The door of Zui Lai Fang was ajar, and half of the courtyard could be seen, and it was quiet inside. Ding Yu looked in and explained to Jiang Ning: "This wine shop has been here since as long as I can remember. , I didn’t expect it to still be here.”

After hearing this, Jiang Ning asked, "How is their wine?"

Ding Yu shook his head: "I don't know. When our family's wine shop was still there, my grandfather wouldn't let me taste their wine, and their wine would not be sold outside."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "Why?"

Ding Yu lowered his voice and whispered: "I also heard from others that their house was the royal winery of the former imperial palace, and they specialized in brewing tribute wine. After leaving home, the descendants returned to Yuezhou and opened wineries again, still brewing wine every day, but the brewed wine is no longer sold outside."

Jiang Ning laughed: "When did this happen?"

Ding Yu chuckled and patted his head: "I heard that it's been hundreds of years."

After he finished speaking, he was also a little embarrassed. This kind of incident was obviously speculative and groundless. While the two were talking, the half-closed door was suddenly opened, and a young man came out to fight with them. After meeting each other, I was a little stunned, and then said: "I don't know the two of you, what can you do?"

Jiang Ning didn't expect that while listening to other people's gossip, the owner came out of the door, feeling a little embarrassed for a while, and then calmly replied: "We want to buy wine."

The young man looked at him in surprise, and said, "Buy wine?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, do you sell the wine in your shop?"

The young man looked them up and down, and smiled kindly: "Our winery doesn't sell alcohol."

After hearing this, Jiang Ning was not disappointed, and when he was about to leave, the young man said again: "But our winery never rejects people who taste wine, the two of you are here, it's fate, why don't you come in and have a drink? "

Jiang Ning thought for a while, gave a gift, and said with a smile: "Then bother the master."

The young man waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's just a small wine shop, and the guests don't have to be restrained."

He spoke very modestly and was kind. He led the two of them into the door. Inside was an open-air courtyard. jars, but the jars are all empty.

There seems to be someone in the ear room on the left, the sound of running water can be heard from time to time, and white hot air overflows curlingly from the window gap.

At this time, an old voice came from the direction of the ear room: "Nian Yin, how about you try this wine?"

The three of them followed the sound and looked around, and an old man came out from behind the door of the anteroom, with mottled and gray hair in a bun, and his green cloth clothes were stained with water, holding a small bowl in his hand.

The young man agreed, and hurried forward, took the small bowl handed over by the old man, tasted it, and then said with a smile: "Grandpa, this one is much better than the previous one. It should be more fragrant."

"Really? That's good, that's good." The old man laughed, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and he turned his head, only to realize that there were two strangers in the yard. He said puzzledly: "The two The bit is..."

"They're here for wine tasting," the young man explained, and turned to Jiang Ning and the two, "My surname is Chen, and my name is Nian Yin. I don't know the names of the two guests?"

Jiang Ning replied: "My surname is Jiang, and the single character is Ning." Ding Yu also reported his name.

The old man nodded and didn't say much. He turned around and went into the ear room. Chen Nianyin smiled apologetically and said, "My grandfather has this temper for decades. I hope the guests don't mind."

Jiang Ning said that he would not care. Looking around this small wine shop, it seemed that there were no other buddies or helpers except the grandpa and grandson.

Chen Nianyin led the two into the main room. There were many shelves neatly arranged in the room. In each compartment, there was a wine jar. It was quite spectacular at a glance.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised and said: "So much wine?"

Chen Nianyin explained with a smile: "Our family has been brewing wine for generations, and it has been nearly 100 years now. These wines are all brewed by our fathers."

"I see." Jiang Ning nodded, and continued to look at the crowded wine jars. If these wines are of different categories, at a glance, there are at least a few hundred types. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent.

Chen Nianyin took down a small wine jar from a shelf, only the size of two fists. He skillfully tore open the seal, and a strong smell of wine wafted out of it, filling the room immediately.

Ding Yu couldn't help but praised: "This wine smells so good."

Chen Nianyin laughed when he heard this, set up two small bowls, poured the wine into them, handed them to the two respectively, and then said: "This wine is called Luo Fuchun, and it is made from my family's ancestral technology. Unfortunately, I will drink it in the future." chances are diminished.”

There was indescribable regret in his words, Ding Yu was surprised: "Why?"

"The guests don't know anything." Chen Nian held the small wine jar in both hands, and said with a slightly bitter smile, "Our ancestors have taught us that the wine shop never sells wine. It’s been a long time, and the materials needed are fine, so... this jar was brewed at the end of last year.”

He looked up at the two of them, and said in a gloomy and sad tone: "I saw two guests today, and I thought, maybe this wine will never be brewed again in the future, and let people taste it, so that we can know that this wine was once My family's unique recipe."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning looked at the wine in the bowl again. The wine was light yellow. Although it looked not clear enough, it was better than the aroma of the wine. After taking a sip, the taste was mellow and sweet. It's kind of tingling, but...

He was silent for a while, and looked at the wine in the bowl for a while. The wine was indeed very fragrant. In just a short while, the whole room was filled with the sweet aroma of wine, which lingered , but the wine does not taste like alcohol, the same as the three-flavored wine from Zhaoji Winery before, the concentration of this Luo Fuchun is very low, it will not exceed [-] degrees.

Jiang Ning drank the rest of the wine in the bowl, and just put down the bowl when Chen Nianyin asked, "How is this wine?"

Ding Yu smashed it and replied, "It's delicious."

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Is there a wine with a higher concentration and a stronger taste?"
