Landlords in ancient times were not uneducated peasants. To be able to study at that time, you must at least have some money at home, and the landlord's family must have a surplus of food.
If you have money, leisure, and no need to work, if you want to improve your family status, you must study more.
Therefore, the families of some large landowners that have been passed down for dozens of generations are often the families of farmers and scholars, or even the families of some officials and gentry.
Such a family has no lack of cultural heritage, so they eat exquisitely and drink exquisitely, especially the way of maintaining health, which is passed down from generation to generation.
No wonder they say that the first generation sees food, the second generation sees through it, and the third generation reads articles!
From a rural landlord's house, you can see the cultural heritage of China for five thousand years.
Of course, what Chen Wenzhe saw here was not American ginseng tea, but ginseng tea and a kind of five-ginseng tea.
Not to mention ginseng tea, it replenishes qi and blood and greatly replenishes vitality.
There is no ginseng in Wushen tea. It is made from five kinds of ginseng, including Sophora flavescens, Codonopsis root, Scrophulariaceae, Adenophora miltiorrhiza and Salvia miltiorrhiza.
As medicinal materials, these ginseng cannot be eaten casually.
However, people drink a cup of five ginseng tea before going to bed every day. It is said to be beneficial to sleep, which means it can cure insomnia?
No matter how big or small the harvest is, as long as it is there, it is good.
Therefore, while eating, all the porcelain on the tables around him were visited by the Sui Marquis Pearl.
And when he finished the meal and paid the final bill, he went to look around the kitchen.
At this time, the histories of all the antiques in their kitchen were read by the Sui Marquis Pearl.
Although no surprises were found, that is, no fine works produced by official kilns were seen, so many old porcelains from private kilns brought a lot of knowledge and cultural inheritance.
For example, one of the rough black-glazed wine cups comes from a family that has been making wine for hundreds of years.
Needless to say, this family's craftsmanship was all visible to this black-glazed wine cup, which gave Chen Wenzhe an advantage.
Pure grain brewing technology, coupled with the location here, may be the oldest Xifeng wine brewing technology.
Thinking of Xifeng wine, Chen Wenzhe immediately thought of Fenjiu. He now uses Fenjiu to make Guilingji wine, and Xifeng wine should not be inferior to Fenjiu.
If it was really Xifeng wine, then even if he didn't use it to make profit, he could still make a batch for his own family to drink!
In life, food and clothing are two things. Now that he is not short of money, why can't he pursue food, drink and enjoyment?
So, after paying 800 yuan and leaving this old store, Chen Wenzhe looked specifically at the memory of that wine cup.
Well, I spent more than 800 yuan on a meal of mutton steamed buns. Most people would definitely think that they were cheated.
The meal was pretty good, the only drawback was that it was too expensive.
Shaking his head, he watched a short movie, followed the navigation, and walked towards the hotel where he was staying.
After just a moment, Chen Wenzhe's good mood turned into surprise.
He just looked at the scene of brewing, but he didn't see the final product.
Now that he saw it, Chen Wenzhe was surprised. Is this wine? Not milk?
The wine-making family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, but was destroyed by an accident, actually brewed not liquor, but a low-alcohol liquor called Huang Guichou liquor.
Is there such good wine in Guanzhong area?
Being able to rely on a small winery to develop into a large landowner's winemaking family is not easy no matter how you think about it.
Sure enough, after a quick glance, Chen Wenzhe was a little dumbfounded. Did he meet a treasure?
Unexpectedly, while casually looking at the memory of an old wine cup, I encountered a bright pearl in the treasure house of Chinese culture?
Huang Guichou wine began in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and has a history of more than 3,000 years.
Its characteristics are: shape like milk, color as white as jade, thick and mellow juice, sweet and delicious.
The alcohol content is only about 0.5-1%. It looks like the fermented glutinous rice juice that everyone loves in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, or the street snack glutinous rice soup topped with egg drop. It is not as clear as ordinary wine.
It is called wine because it tastes like wine when you drink it.
This drink-like thing can be drunk from a large bowl by the elderly, weak, women, children and those who are not good drinkers.
Drink it warm or cold, suitable for all seasons.
Because it contains the traditional Chinese medicine Huang Gui, the wine has the aroma of Huang Gui, so it is called "Huang Gui thick wine".
Because it is produced in Chang'an, it is also called "Shaanxi Province Chongjiu".
According to legend, the "drunken concubine" drank Xi'an thick wine, so it is also called "the imperial concubine's thick wine".
Seeing this long history, how could Chen Wenzhe not be surprised?
He really didn't know that the drunkenness of the imperial concubine could be related to this kind of wine!
When you hear that the imperial concubine is drunk, who would think about what kind of wine the imperial concubine drank? How did she get drunk?
It turned out that it tasted so good that I got drunk without even realizing it!
This is definitely not a wasted name, because there are several other names that you may be familiar with?
For example, "Jade liquor", the earliest term that appeared, was used to describe this kind of wine.
Also, this kind of food was called "骆鴴" (pronounced Laoli) in ancient times.
This is my country's ancient traditional wine and one of the eight most valuable specialties in Shaanxi Province. It has long been famous all over the world.
It's just that Chen Wenzhe is ignorant and only found out today.
It was at this time that Sui Houzhizhu pushed some content to him.
Chen Wenzhe took a look and saw that it was not about the eight precious specialties of Shaanxi Province, but the second of the eight precious specialties of Xishan Province.
Perhaps it was an inheritance obtained from a mutton steamed bun shop, so some of the most precious inheritances are actually related to eating and drinking.
For example, what Chen Wenzhe is seeing now is Pingyao beef and Shangdang cured donkey meat.
In these two memories, there are also complete scenes of making these two specialties. It can be said that Chen Wenzhe has mastered two unique skills unintentionally.
Such a unique skill can also be called a secret recipe.
In ancient times, any secret recipe could make a commoner become a rich man, or even pass it down to a big family.
For example, Pingyao beef is also a delicacy that has been passed down for a long time.
Legend has it that in the ancient Han Dynasty, there was a description of beef processing such as "selling knives to buy calves, selling blades to buy cattle, and doing it with ease".
Pingyao beef, with its unique flavor and long-standing reputation, has been exported to various Asian countries as early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
History records that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi passed through Pingyao. After enjoying Pingyao beef, she smelled the aroma and felt refreshed, and tasted the taste and relieved her difficulties, so she designated it as a tribute to the palace.
After the founding of New China, Pingyao beef was rated as a "National Famous Product" at the National Famous Food Exhibition in 1956.
With the famous singer Guo Lanying's song "praising local products", Pingyao beef has become famous in China and is fragrant at home and abroad.
And the donkey meat that was cheated was no less generous.
In the land of China, there are countless allusions to food culture.
Among them, legends and stories such as "Bian Que saved lives and healed the wounded and cooked donkey soup", "Qin Shihuang traveled and tasted bacon", "Tang Minghuang visited privately to eat dumplings" and other legends and stories are all related to Shangdang bacon donkey meat.
