086 Bai Min’s exclusive equipment (Part 1)
Before he got closer to the 'brewing street' that Siegel said, Chen Xiansong smelled the wine. The closer he got, the stronger the smell. When he completely walked to the street, the strong smell made him feel that his nose had lost its sense of smell. But Siegel closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said comfortably: "It really makes people feel refreshed, Mr. Chen Xiansong, what do you think?"
Chen Xiansong originally wanted to cover his nose, but he had to give up when he heard this. He smiled a little far-fetchedly: "It's really a good wine smell."
Siegel seemed to have not noticed Chen Xiansong's forced efforts, but Claude noticed that he shrugged indifferently behind him and chuckled softly. There were noisy pedestrians around him, and his laughter was instantly drowned by the noise, and no one could hear it.
Because it is a street and a place to make wine, it is a bit dirty and messy. The ground is covered with water stains, mixed with broken fruit peels and flesh. As soon as the four of them entered the street, the surroundings slowly became quiet. There was no way. The robe of the soul-thinking person was too conspicuous and had a very high status. Ordinary people dared not "make rash" in front of them.
But soon the street began to become lively again, and many voices greeted Sigel. It seemed that she was an acquaintance here. Along the way, similar situations were repeated. The merchants on the street saw four people, and first calmed down, and then quickly greeted Sigel. It seemed that seeing this girl would make them feel at ease.
"It seems that you have great prestige here!" Chen Xiansong said behind, half admiring and half inquiring.
Sigyiel turned around, smiling with an extremely relaxed happiness: "Because I have grown up here since I was a child." She waved her hand to respond to the wine merchants who greeted her, and continued: "My family is in the fruit wine business, and I specialize in this knowledge. Although Teacher Soxi is not very happy, in the end he still acquiesced to my willfulness."
Claude continued on the side: "Siger's fruit wine is the most famous and delicious in the city. The biggest contributor is her. I remember when she was a child, Sieger had not yet become a soul-thinker. At that time, her hotel business was a little... leisurely. After she became a soul-thinker, her business gradually improved, and then became the number one in the city within a few years. The people here privately gave her the nickname, the daughter of Fruit Wine."
Siegel smiled embarrassedly, and was also a little proud. A girl supported the prosperity of a family, which was indeed enough to make people feel quite accomplished.
She took Chen Xiansong's hand and kept running fast. Soon people thought that Chen Xiansong was the man she had found. She whistled from time to time or shouted loudly, but she didn't react much. After running for a while, she took Chen Xiansong to a building with a huge shop, and then walked in.
There was a middle-aged man in the store talking about business with someone. When he saw someone coming in outside, he thought it was a customer. He turned his head and saw that it was his daughter. He immediately laughed: "Sil, if you are not studying in the association, why are you sneaking home to do?"
"Take a few friends over here." Sigel let go of Chen Xiansong's hand and ran to his father to act obediently: "Wouldn't it be good for me to come back to help?"
"Okay."
The middle-aged man smiled lovingly. He just saw his daughter holding hands with the boy standing outside, and he had some strange associations in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Chen Xiansong, and after a while, he nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, Chen Xiansong had a good temperament, and was both a "soul-thinker". Both sides had a common language. The most important thing was that Chen Xiansong gave him a very "clean" feeling. This cleanliness does not refer to personal hygiene, but a kind of clean temperament. He originally thought that his daughter and Claude were more compatible, but now it seems that the boy's conditions are better, but soon, when he saw Bai Min, he was amazed, and he was a little confused. After all, Bai Min's position was very close to Chen Xiansong, almost shoulder to shoulder, and it was obvious that the two had a very close relationship.
He was a little puzzled. Since the other party had such a beautiful woman, why did he hold hands with his daughter? He suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked his daughter with a smile: "Daughter, who are the two of you over there?"
"Oh, he is a colleague from Black Tu City, Lord Chen Xiansong." Sigel pointed to the boy and introduced: "The other beautiful girl seems to be his maid. I don't know the name very well, so I dare not ask."
"Hello, sir, it's my first meeting." Chen Xiansong nodded, and then introduced the girl beside him: "This is my butler, Bai Min, and he is also my fiancée."
Bai Min blinked her eyes and moved her hands crossed in front of her abdomen.
'So it's called Bai Min.' Claude secretly wrote down the name.
Fiancée! The middle-aged man felt a little disappointed and annoyed. Since you have a fiancée, why are you so intimate with my daughter? His face turned a little lighter, and there was still a smile on his face: "Please sit down, and Your Excellency Claude, I haven't seen you come to me to sit down."
Claude smiled and said, "It's only about ten days. Uncle Simei, you're too exaggerating."
The wine merchant who had been talking to Ximei had a dry throat when he saw three soul-thinking people. Taking this opportunity, he quickly said goodbye and left the wine shop almost like a trot. Ximei went to the inner hall to move some chairs out. Sigil took this opportunity to open his hands and turn around cutely, dancing with his robe. She asked with a smile: "What do you think of this shop?"
Chen Xiansong looked for a while and said, "It's quite neat. The design of the shelves is different from that of other stores, and it pays attention to order. In front of the jar of each fruit wine, there are wooden signs with the names and flavors of the wine. Along the way, I paid attention to it. Other hotels do not seem to be such things that are convenient for customers to choose from, and it seems that they are unique to your family?"
"Hehe, you observed it very carefully." Sigel smiled proudly: "This is the design I thought of, it's good. I think it's much more convenient than other stores."
The floor of this wine shop is quite neat, which is very different from other wine shops, and there is also a simple product manual. It is no wonder that there are more customers here than other places. Just as they were talking, several guests came in outside, but as soon as they saw three soul-thinking people inside, they immediately turned around and left.
At this time, Ximei and the clerk brought chairs and tables, while Sigyiel went to the shelves to get a few jars of fruit wine of different flavors, then put a few exquisite small bowls, pulled open the cork of the jar, poured a glass of fragrant fruit wine for Chen Xiansong, and invited him to taste it with anticipation.
The alcohol content of fruit wine is generally not high. After Chen Xiansong finished drinking it in one sip, Siegel asked expectantly: "How is it taste?"
"Not bad, it tastes better than what I used to drink." Chen Xiansong told the truth.
"Hehe, then you try this again." Sigel changed the jar, poured the cup for him, and then poured the cup for Claude next to him: "Come and try it too."
In this way, the two of them drank several glasses together. Wine is a good thing, but for people who are not very addicted to alcohol, it is just like that. Due to etiquette, after drinking a few glasses, Chen Xiansong felt that his stomach was so swollen. Seeing that Sigyiel seemed to want to continue pouring wine, he shook his head quickly: "I don't drink much, and I will get drunk if I drink it."
Claude smiled from the side and said, "Sigel, you ask Mr. Chen to your house not just to let him drink your bar. Just tell me if you have anything to do. I can see that Mr. Chen Xiansong is very easy to talk to."
Siegel stuck out his tongue and said playfully: "Claude, don't always tease my platform... Well, I'll ask Mr. Chen Xiansong to have some things here. You should know that our Kate Kingdom produces fruit wine, and our Qingxi City is the best. However, I heard that the wine in the Zhendan Kingdom is a kind of rice wine, which is said to be made of grain rice. Different varieties of crops have different flavors. I have tried to use fruit wine to make rice wine. Although it is indeed a wine, the taste always seems a bit strange. Mr. Chen should have been a Zhendan citizen before. Do you know the correct way to make various rice brews?"
Chen Xiansong shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not very interested in wine and have never been exposed to this knowledge."
Sigyil's eyes lit up, and she sensitively caught the loophole in Chen Xiansong's sentence, which said that "had never been exposed" rather than "unable to obtain or cannot be contacted", which shows that the other party has the ability to learn this knowledge.
"Your Excellency, as the daughter of a wine shop, I hope to learn a variety of ways to make wine." Sigel said softly: "If you have a way to get the skills of the Zhendan rice brewing technology, I am willing to spend a considerable price in exchange."
Siegel's father Sime, sitting beside him, his eyes slid around when he heard this.
Chen Xiansong didn't know how to make wine, but he thought Bai Min should do it, so he naturally looked at the girl standing next to him.
"What method are you going to use to pay?" Bai Min asked before stepping forward.
Sigyil looked at the girl with some strangeness. Of course, she felt a little envy and jealousy about Bai Min's appearance, but she was also open-minded and did not take the gap between the two sides to heart. After all, she is a rare female soul thinker, and she is not bad at all. However, most men pursue a marriage partner.
"It depends on what kind of quality wine brewing method you master." When talking about business, Siegel's cheerful and open-minded face suddenly became serious: "But even the lowest level of yellow rice wine, I am willing to spend 300 gold coins to buy its formula."
"How much is the value of distilled liquor?" Bai Min stared at the other party. As a qualified female housekeeper, it is also a very necessary thing to negotiate business for Xiaosong and fight for the best interests for him. This is the right moral character of biochemical people being engraved into the brain chip.
But for a moment, Sigyiel was stunned for a moment: "Distilled white wine, is there such wine in the Kingdom of Zhendan?"
Bai Min thought for a while with his brain chip and asked, "Do you have other alcoholic beverages in the Zhendan Kingdom? Can you let me see it?"
"Of course there is." Sigyiel smiled and asked the clerk to take a few wine jars from the shop. She herself likes the winemaking process, so she has collected most of the wines in the world, one for tasting, and the other for 'cracking'. However, the manufacturing process of rice wine in the Zhendan Kingdom seems to be more difficult than that of her. She can use the rice to make wine, but the taste is always wrong and it is quite unpalatable.
Several wine jars opened, and the unique slight sour taste of rice wine was emitted. Bai Min went over and looked at them one by one, and then she asked Sigyiel: "How do you distinguish the grades of these wines here?"
"This is the highest! One gold coin per jar." Sigel pointed to a wine jar with the Chinese characters written on it 'Tian Rice Brew'.
"This is the worst. A jar of nine copper coins." The jar she pointed to the second one with 'Huang Zhuo Wine'.
Siegel sat down, pointed to the other jars and said, "The rest are almost the same, the price is between three silver coins and five silver coins."
Chen Xiansong also went to the rice wine jars to look at them. They were all turbid wine, and the taste was not mellow. However, he had no research on wine, so he did not express any opinions and went back to his chair. Claude's eyes were always wandering on the two girls, but most of the time, his gaze was still stuck to Bai Min.
"Distilled white wine is completely different from them." Bai Min thought for a moment and said, "Its color is as clear as a spring water, the wine is very fragrant and has a high degree of flavor, and it has twelve different flavors."
"Wine as clear as a spring?" Siegel was a little suspicious: "Is there still a smell of wine like that?"
"Not only has it, but it's also very strong. If you don't believe it, I can't do anything." Bai Min looked straight at the other party, and her serious gaze put a little pressure on Sigyi.
At this time, Ximei, who had been listening to a long time, interjected in, and his expression was a little excited: "I heard that the emperor of Zhendan Kingdom had a kind of tribute wine, which seemed to be called Heluo Daqu. It is said that one thousand kilograms of grain can produce about ten kilograms of wine. It is said that its color is as clean and beautiful as the stream water, especially when it is placed in a magic crystal bottle and placed under the moonlight, it can have a color like a small rainbow."
"I have also heard of the name Heluo Daqu. It is said that it is a great nobleman who has been passed down for more than two thousand years in Heluo. The secret of the Heluo Chen family..." Sigeyier also heard his father's words and remembered this kind of wine that was almost legendary. She suddenly glared at Chen Xiansong and pointed hard at Chen Xiansong: "Heluo Chen family, wine as clean and mellow as spring water... Could it be that you are!"
Claude's eyebrows seemed to shake up, and then sootheed again, as if he didn't hear anything.
The father and daughter looked at each other. After a short while of a daze, Sigyi took a breath: "Heluo Da... No, it's the recipe for distilled white wine. I want it, I believe it too. What kind of price do you need?"
"Twelve flavors, each taste is five thousand gold coins." Bai Min said.
"It's too expensive. If it's one or two, we can afford it, but twelve... Our family business is small and we can't afford so much." Siegel turned his head and looked at Chen Xiansong, begging in his tone: "Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, everyone is a soul-thinking person. Can it be cheaper?"
Bai Min interrupted, "It can't be cheap."
Chen Xiansong originally wanted to agree, but since Bai Min took the lead, he had to shut up and not talk. The book "The Necessary Self-cultivation and World View of Natural Men" clearly states that after a man gets married, the trivial matters at home, such as making money, financial management and other trivial matters, should be left to the woman to take care of. The man just needs to take care of big things.
Chen Xiansong deeply agreed that Bai Min will be his "housekeeper" in the future, so of course she should be the one who will take charge of these things. However, he had a question in his mind, what is a big event? Or, what is the definition of a big event?
Hearing Bai Min directly interrupting the conversation between him and Chen Xiansong, Sigyiel was slightly displeased: "Even if you are your fiancée Chen Xiansong, you should not be able to make a decision on such an important thing."
"I am Xiaosong's housekeeper." Bai Min said for granted: "I have the right to deal with the family's fiscal revenue and expenditure."
If other stewards say "can make decisions for the master", they will probably be regarded as a violation of their duties, but Bai Min's temperament is like a valley orchid, beautiful and noble, but when she says it, it will only give people a sense of convincing. The same thing may be said in different people's mouths, the effect may be completely different, this is the effect of temperament and aura.
Sigyil was convinced, her cute face became sad, and she looked at her complainingly: "But our family's working capital can only buy one flavor... Ms. Bai Min, why do you tell me that distilled white wine has twelve flavors!"
"You can buy the next one first, and wait until you save enough money before buying the second one." Bai Min said lightly: "We are waiting for you in Heitu City, and we guarantee that we will not tell others about other recipes within five years."
"It would be great if there were two flavors!" Siegel said a little greedy: "It would be easier to make a name. If there were two flavors, I was confident that I could rule the entire wine market in Qingxi City within half a year, and within five years, the upper nobles of the entire Kate Kingdom knew our brand..."
Hearing this, Claude's eyes flashed, and his heart seemed to be moved.
Ximei suddenly came over and said a few words in Sigyi's ear. The latter was a little embarrassed at first, but finally nodded gently. Then she said to Bai Min: "Madam, my father has picked up a strange thing from the ancient magic era before. It is our treasure. Even Teacher Soxi has never seen it... I want to fold it into five thousand gold coins and change it to another taste. Is it okay?"
The ancient relics were things from the 22nd century. When Bai Min heard this, he turned his head to look at Chen Xiansong, as if he was asking for his opinion.
"What kind of ancient relics?" Chen Xiansong was a little curious.
"A round plate-shaped thing, silver. It has a very hard texture. No matter how you cut it with a knife, you won't leave any trace. On the contrary, the tool will be damaged." Sigel said slowly: "And in the middle, there is a green dot, which is a bit like an eye. It is usually green. If it is placed in a dark place for a long time, it will turn light red. If it is placed for a longer time, the red spots will disappear. However, if it is taken out and placed in the sun, it will slowly turn green again."
Hearing Sigyi's description, Bai Min's body moved slightly.
Ximei interrupted: "It is very light and hard. I think it may be a special little round shield of the ancient magic Time."
Chen Xiansong nodded. Of course, he was very interested in things of the same era as him: "Can you let me see it?"
