In the main room, Lin Wanyi was reading a miscellaneous note on wine making.
It not only clearly records how to brew green plum wine, but also records many recipes for brewing other fruit wines.
Anyway, she stayed in the palace and had plenty of time, so she could develop these slowly.
She had almost seen it, and Chunqi and Xia An also happened to enter the room.
"My little master, look at it quickly. These are the green plums that Xiao Luzi just brought from the imperial kitchen. I think they are very good, very fresh."
While talking, he took out some green plums from the basket.
Lin Wanyi took a closer look and saw that they were indeed green and green. They were almost the same size. It seemed that they had been carefully selected.
The people in the imperial kitchen are very careful in their work.
"Yes, yes, you go and get some salt and ginger candies. By the way, there is also white wine and a porcelain jar."
"My lord, why did you suddenly think of making green plum wine?"
Lin Wanyi raised her head and saw that the sky was turning orange and red due to the sunset, and she was filled with emotion.
There is always a lot of good wine at home, and when I have nothing to do, I take Lin Wanyi to have a few drinks.
Her drinking capacity is unknown to outsiders, but Chunqi and Xia An have seen her before.
"To make green plum wine, I thought that now is the time when green plums are delicious. If I make it into fruit wine, it will last longer."
"It would be great if I could watch the sunset from the tower."
Chunqi smiled when he saw this, and sealed the jar with oil paper in his hand, so that the wine could ferment properly.
The Lin family's father and son together may not be able to outdrink her alone.
Then he personally wrote the word "green plum" on red paper and pasted it on the jar.
"OK."
"Since it is brewed for the eldest young master, we must use the best."
"Remove astringency."
For example, one jar contains ginger sugar cubes, one jar contains rock sugar cubes, and the other jar contains directly mixed sugar water and a few dried perilla leaves.
Lin Wanyi wiped them one by one with a cloth until the green plum fluff could be seen in the sun, then put them into the jar.
Someone made a voice behind Leng Buding, and Lin Wanyi was startled.
When everything was done, the sun gradually set.
If you focus solely on fighting for favor and waiting for luck, you will be crazy.
After saying that, Xia An was asked to sort them by color and put them into boxes for future use.
He asked while rubbing it.
Xia An smiled and handed over the silk thread. Lin Wanyi took it and looked at it, her eyes filled with joy.
Then he added the royal wine into it.
The grapevines in the backyard have been carefully irrigated by Chunqi and Xiaoluzi every day, and they have already reached the height of two palms. Although it is still early to climb up, everyone is very happy to see this vitality.
In this harem, if I don't find something to do for myself, I'm afraid my days will feel like years.
"Last time, a bottle of good wine was delivered to the imperial kitchen, but His Majesty didn't drink it, so the slave kept it away. This time it's perfect for brewing it!"
Lin Wanyi smiled, her face looking like peach blossoms in March.
I'm afraid it would take three jars to fit these green plums.
But when they saw Qiu Ming and Xiao Luzi standing behind Dong Yuzhong with their heads lowered, while Chunqi and Xia An were squatting on the porch in the backyard to salute, they understood the general idea.
I see.
Lin Wanyi's grandfather loved to drink and was very good at it.
Soon half an hour passed. Chunqi brought a flat bamboo basket and poured the green plums on it to drain the water.
After explaining to the two of them, Lin Wanyi was not idle. She carefully cleaned the porcelain jar again, and then wiped it with a clean handkerchief until no water stains were visible.
Chunqi and Xia An were afraid that Lin Wanyi's hands could not withstand the baptism of salt water, so they rubbed them vigorously.
"It is indeed a good wine. Your Majesty is your Majesty. Even this wine is unusual!"
Lin Wanyi and Xia An walked out together and started tidying up with her.
It was precisely because of this sentence that Lin Wanyi thought about brewing this wine. When his brother comes back from the Imperial Army, maybe he can give it to him to try!
"Isn't my brother going to join the army? When this wine is good enough to drink, he will probably come back to visit relatives. When the time comes, I will send him out of the palace to give him a taste. It can be regarded as a little thought from me as a younger sister."
"Your Majesty, please move to the main room. This place is very messy."
Lin Wanyi smiled, remembering a joke that her brother once said.
The distance between the two was only two steps, and she didn't realize there was anyone behind her.
Chunqi smiled slyly and then said.
Lin Wanyi was afraid that she would become someone like Concubine Lin and others who were scheming all day long, so in her free time, she had better do some handicrafts to purify her heart.
"The silk threads that Grandma Fan sends me every time are just what I want. They are indeed the disciples who have been taught by my grandmother with care."
"Little Master, what is this for?"
Lin Wanyi stood up, feeling a little uncomfortable as there was still the "leftover" they made after making green plum wine in the pavilion.
The book records that perilla leaves can enhance the flavor, but Lin Wanyi was not sure, so she only put it in one of the jars.
"You've almost kneaded it, let it soak. After half an hour, pull out the plum stems and rinse them with water."
After saying that, he turned around and left to prepare things.
"My concubine has behaved inappropriately. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Lin Wanyi picked it up and smelled it. The aroma was rich and mellow, so she drank it all in one gulp.
Time passes quickly when you are doing things.
"oh."
It was also Lin Wanyi's first time making it. She always thought that if one jar broke, she would still have two jars, so she separated the ingredients when using them.
Chunqi hurriedly took everything to the pavilion in the yard. The paths here were cleaned every day and it was very clean.
"Put it in a cool place and add some sugar after half a month."
"Get up, I just came to take a look, so I didn't let them report it."
When he turned around, he saw the emperor in ordinary clothes standing in the backyard with his hands behind his back.
The jar containing plums was not big, so after filling three jars, there was still less than half a cup of the royal wine.
Over time, Lin Wanyi's drinking capacity was developed.
Wash the green plums twice with clean water, then add salt and rub them repeatedly.
"You want to watch the sunset?"
The emperor is here, why is no one announcing it?
"You are very elegant. I remember that the last time I drank fruit tea in your palace."
So he said to the emperor.
"When can I drink the green plum wine brewed by Qian Qian myself? Then my brother will have no regrets in this life!"
"What are you doing?"
The ink characters written in a white pot are so interesting.
"Your Majesty has a very good memory."
"Well, when the green plum wine is ready, bring it to me to try. Fruit wine is rare."
Lin Wanyi sighed deeply in her heart. She obviously prepared it for her brother, but now she was cut off by the emperor.
Even if she wasn't happy, she couldn't refuse.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to make three cans. Otherwise, if the emperor was interested in it, how could I get this wine to my eldest brother?
