Over there, when the old man surnamed Zhuo heard the rice wine and local tobacco, his eyes flashed. Although he continued to maintain a dignified posture, er, it should be said that he and others thought it was a dignified posture, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly on his face.
Jiang Li lifted his hand from the armrest and stretched it forward, but in the end it fell on his knees. This movement was not hidden from Jiang Li.
Yes, there is a way. Jiang Li thought to himself that he had indeed made the right bet. Local tobacco is hard to buy now, especially in Ludao, an economically developed area that has been open for decades. If he hadn't seen Old Man Wang's pocket last time,
A piece of cigarette rod was exposed from inside. Jiang Li didn't know that Old Man Wang liked to smoke local cigarettes, but thinking about it, it was normal. Wang
The old man's dress is almost the same as that of the old man from the Zhuo family in front of him. He likes to wear homespun Tang suits and cloth shoes when walking on the street. If he doesn't say anything and doesn't show his temperament developed by living in the city for many years, he will definitely
People would think of him as an old man who came from a small mountain village that was still relatively closed.
Of course you can buy rice wine, but whether it's the bottled one you buy in a supermarket or the home-brewed farmer's rice wine that's said to be produced in a small shop, it's mixed with a lot of water and then some sugar.
It tastes sweet, but it will scratch your throat. In the eyes of people who are good at drinking, this kind of wine cannot be called wine at all.
I can't say that the wine Li Quancai makes at home is top-notch, but it is one of the top rice wines that Jiang Li has ever tasted. This kind of home-brewed and self-drinked rice wine is made with the utmost care.
If you make it without any adulteration, then the wine will be mellow and can last for years or even decades. The longer it goes, the more mellow the wine will be, and the aftertaste will be poor.
Jiang Li remembers that when he was a child, his uncle always sent a big bag of glutinous rice to his family after the autumn harvest every year. It was not that Jiang Li’s family couldn’t buy glutinous rice, but because there were good and bad glutinous rice for wine making. The glutinous rice his uncle sent
It is specially used to make wine. It is produced in muddy fields that can swallow children whole. This kind of glutinous rice is not something that people who grow it are willing to sell.[
In such a field, not only children but also adults must be careful when stepping into it. If no one is watching, no one will dare to step in. In such a field, the glutinous rice produced is the best raw material for wine making.
What comes out of the fields is much worse.
, but because this kind of field is dangerous, and the mud is slush, the water content is sufficient, so the whole rice plant will not be too tall. If the rice plant is not tall, the yield will not be high. Therefore, it has gradually become rare these years, and most of them are
The mud was dug up and transformed into ordinary fields.
Li Quancai's rice wine is made from this kind of glutinous rice specially grown for wine making. Its aroma and taste are definitely not comparable to that of mass-produced rice wine, so Jiang Li is now very confident, as long as Mr. Zhuo has tasted it.
Once you take a sip of this rice wine, you will definitely fall in love with it.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang is quite ingenious. He thought of giving rice wine as a gift, but I wonder what the rice wine is?" Ma Shiren also saw Mr. Zhuo's subtle movements and asked Jiang Li with a smile. "Do you have any wine? How much does he want?"
How many,
Especially those top-notch wines, he didn't like to give them away, so even if Mr. Zhuo showed interest in rice wine, he didn't care at all. It was just an instinctive curiosity about new things. It was nothing.
Don't take it to heart.
"Green ants' newly fermented wine, small red clay stove. It's snowing late in the evening, can you have a drink?" Jiang Li did not answer directly, but smiled and recited this song "Ask Liu Nineteen" by Bai Juyi
.
"What, what did you say? Are these green ants?" As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, Old Man Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened, and he clutched his pants tightly with one hand and stared at Jiang Li, "Didn't you say that it's already happened?"
Has it been lost?"
"Haha, Uncle Zhuo, the so-called lost legend is just what those high-ranking experts say. They almost don't go to the private sector to investigate. Even if they do, most of them just take a look around and leave. How could they possibly
Do you know the reason? The biology professor doesn’t know the baby axolotl.
In fact, in our hometown, the ginkgo trees that are everywhere have been said to have become extinct. Some professors from a certain place took the yellow heart white trees that have been planted in our hometown for who knows how many years and then said that they cultivated them.
There is a new variety of so-called rose cabbage, which is not surprising."
(Explanation, this yellow heart white is because the cabbage heart is bright yellow, and the edges of the young leaves of the cabbage heart are rolled outwards. In addition, the leaves of the cabbage heart are arranged like roses. Both of them look like roses. If you peel off the outer layers of green leaves
Go, look down from the top of the vegetables, there is no big difference from the roses. The gray bird happened to take a few photos when I went home the year before last, and I will see if I can upload them to everyone later.)
"Young man, do you know the consequences of deceiving me?" Mr. Zhuo was stunned by Jiang Li's words. Also, a certain biology professor did not recognize the larvae of newts and said they were alien creatures. A certain professor
He even came up with the fallacy that the totem of China should be a sheep instead of a dragon. This has been a big joke in recent years, so I couldn't find anything wrong with Jiang Li's words for a while.
"How dare I lie to Uncle Zhuo? If I dare to lie to you, Zhuo Yue will probably be the first to forgive me. Don't worry, why don't you pour a cup and try it first? It's best to use a white porcelain cup or bowl, or bring something with you?
"The kind with a hint of variegated color." Jiang Li is full of confidence. Li Quancai's wine can't be said to be full of green, but the light green is definitely the kind.
Yes, especially against the background of white porcelain, this kind of green will give people a wonderful feeling of rafting on the river in the south of the Yangtze River, listening to the lotus and watching the moon. In addition, Mr. Zhuo is good at Yue Opera and Huangmei Opera. These are all
It is easily associated with the Jiangnan water town, so his feelings should be deeper than ordinary people.
In fact, the reason why green ant wine has gradually faded out of people's sight is also related to the huge profits in the wine industry. Just because every family can make rice wine, and the profits are quite huge, so the wine has been heavily taxed in the past dynasties.
, the difference is that the previous approach was
It does not restrict you from selling wine, but as long as you sell it, you have to pay taxes. Later, it gradually evolved that even if you want to sell wine, you have to have a high entry threshold. Although rice wine is highly profitable,
But the output rate is not high. One pound of good rice wine may require more than one pound.
When two kilograms of glutinous rice is brewed, no water is added in the process. It only depends on the water absorbed by the glutinous rice in the early stage. After it is steamed and mixed with rice dumplings and put into jars, it relies on that little water for natural fermentation.
Therefore, an ordinary family needs to obtain a license to sell alcohol.
It is even more difficult, and we have to use local methods. Compared with using lower-priced sorghum and other raw materials to brew glutinous rice, who can bear it?
Even high-yield distilled spirits account for the vast majority of the share.
"Okay, old man, I want to verify whether what you said is true or false." Mr. Zhuo's greedy mind has been fished out by Jiang Li for a long time, but he still has to maintain his dignity and dare not move. Now Jiang Li
I found a very good step and excuse for him, so I was naturally not polite.
"Dad, do you want to drink? It just so happens that there are also ready-made dishes here. Take a look, braised pork knuckles, mixed with silver thread, and jellyfish heads. These are the signatures of Jiangli's shop. They are still hot. I
I'll get you a cup." Zhuo Yue knows his father better than Jiang Li. As soon as he heard this, he knew that the possibility of Jiang Li taking the lead or coming from behind had already happened. He was very excited at the moment and was jumping up and down.
Went to get the cup.
"Where did Mr. Jiang open his shop? I don't know what kind of shop he opened? Oh, look at my memory. Since this is a signature dish, he must have opened a big restaurant. I don't know where it is? I will go and support him another day. There are many
If you can’t bring anyone with you, it’s not a problem to have two tables at a time.” Ma Shiren was still smiling.
"There is a shop, and Mr. Ma is willing to come and support me, so of course I'm welcome. But mine is just a small shop, not a restaurant, and it doesn't have tables. It only sells takeaways. I'm afraid I will disappoint Mr. Ma, but that's okay.
It doesn't matter, Mr. Ma, you can go at any time, say something at any time, and I will explain it." Jiang Li thought, it's coming, it's coming, and he's starting to take action. But he's not afraid either. If he opens a small shop, he'll open a small shop. What's there to be afraid of?
It's not a shameful thing.
In fact, if Zhuo Yue hadn't reminded him in advance, Jiang Li might have been deceived by Ma Shiren's appearance and thought he was a not-so-bad person. It was precisely because of Zhuo Yue's reminder that Jiang Li was wary of Ma Shiren.
In my heart, I could hear the deep evil intention hidden in his words. Yes, I am already in my twenties and only open a small shop. Doesn't this mean there is no future? Mr. Zhuo cares about youth very much.
Do people have enterprising spirit?
"Okay, definitely, definitely." Ma Shiren took the words, but he didn't ask where Jiang Li's store was, and Jiang Li didn't say. I don't care if you come or not. The queue is getting longer every day.
It's enough that I can take good care of those sincere customers.
After a while, Zhuo Yue brought the wine glasses and bowls and chopsticks. It seemed that Mr. Zhuo was not very particular about it. Seeing Zhuo Yue bring the things, he didn't say anything about moving them to the dining table.
"Mom, do you know what Jiang Li does?" Zhuo Yue quickly set out the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses. The cups are white porcelain and seem to be specially used for drinking rice wine, such as rice wine and the like.
, these wines should be in white porcelain cups, under the reflection of snow-white color, the color will not be affected by other colors.
If you use a glass cup, it will be interfered by the color of the surrounding scenery. In fact, Jiang Li personally feels that even if you drink wine, you should use a white porcelain cup. The white reflects the bright blood red.
That would be beautiful. Especially look at the hanging cup. Where is the transparent one with a white background to see clearly?
