Chapter 131 Drinking wine and talking about relatives
When the story mentioned wine tasting, Jin Huabin laughed and said: "Listen to what the wine tasting in your story is about. What we do tonight is called Pinjiu. Although there is only one word difference between tasting and pinting, in fact they are different.
Thousands of miles."
Zhu Jinze smiled sheepishly and said: "I also know that I am not a wine-making material, but I don't know why. I am like a man possessed. I even dreamed that I had deciphered Wang Wen's Xianju wine."<
/p>
"A blind cat can catch a dead mouse by smell, but making wine requires professional skills and personal wine tasting. You will definitely not be able to make it by fooling around. Let's be realistic and continue the story."
He scratched his scalp and continued to tell his story: "The wine tasting party has begun. Several judges came forward. They first rinsed their mouths with water, then brought the wine glass to their mouths, put the wine in their mouths, and started tasting from the aroma, then
From light to strong, and then from strong to light, repeat several times, put wine on your mouth, and then spit or swallow. Use your tongue against your front jaw to expel the alcohol from your nostrils and check whether the alcohol is pungent. Use your tongue
When tasting liquor, you should analyze the changes in the various tastes of the wine in your mouth. The initial sweetness, secondary sourness and saltiness, then bitterness and astringency. The tongue should move in the mouth to experience the astringency. The entrance of the wine should be soft and refreshing.
, sweet, sour, not smelly, there should be a lingering aroma after drinking, pay attention to the length of the aftertaste. The time for the wine to stay in the mouth is about 10 seconds. Rinse your mouth with tea. Taste it first and then increase the amount of the drink appropriately to judge the wine.
The length of the aftertaste and whether the tail taste is clean, sweet or bitter. Then, the scores are divided into color, aroma, taste, etc. The scoring method is to throw black beans into the bucket in front, and the person with the highest score for each item will throw ten.
The person with the lowest score throws one. The reason why black beans are used for scoring is because of the clear meaning of black and white. After the first round, the judges change the wine and taste it again. The wine is still the same wine, but the cups and bottles are changed. The purpose is
Prevent the judges from being too poor and giving random scores."
"Our ancestors in Xianju are still more scientific. With a system, it is difficult to cheat. Unlike in the north, where a certain wine is praised by a famous poet, its value immediately rises. Especially for the second round of tasting, it is just a fake.
The possibility has also been blocked." Jin Huabin asked with a smile: "In the end, what was the result?"
"As a result, the five wines from Wang's Liquor Shop took the top three places, as well as the sixth and seventh places. The fourth place belongs to the He family, and the fifth place belongs to the Li family." He took a sip of tea and said: "
During the competition, Wang Wen paid special attention to He Yuheng and saw how she voted for the black beans. More votes were cast for the Wang family than for the He family. He secretly admired her fairness. After the wine tasting, he took the opportunity of a toast to ask for advice.
She replied: "The spices added to the other two bottles of wine were shorter, and the aroma did not seem to be completely dissolved into the wine." When Wang Wen heard this, he greatly appreciated it. This was based on the plant samples given by Taoist White Beard a few days ago.
The newly added one had only been soaked for less than three days. She also tasted it, and the two of them suddenly felt like confidants over wine."
After drinking too much tea, his stomach was bloated. Jin Huabin went to the bathroom and said after he came back: "He Qingsheng, Qingsheng is another name for wine. It is named after Wang Wen's wine. Now that they see each other, there is another poignant scene between them."
A love story, right?"
He rolled his eyes and said: "He, the Wang family are both merchants in Guantan, so they are a good match. Even if they become a family, it can only be said to be a good story caused by wine, which cannot match the poignancy. The wine tasting is over.
The Wang family's wine received rave reviews. Wang Haibo saw that the lower-ranked shopkeepers from other stores who had sent wine had something wrong with their expressions. He stood up, clasped his fists and bowed in a circle, saying: "The Wang family doesn't dare to specialize in its own brewing recipes. If each family wants to
Our Wang family is willing to accept anyone who sends someone to be an apprentice. If our friends have smart children who are willing to learn winemaking, the Wang family is also willing to accept them as apprentices." As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the family was in a panic. There was a buzz for a while.
Only then did he calm down. Although the Wang family's wine was good, his face was even more important. Until the end of the banquet, the other shopkeepers did not lose face and sent their own disciples to be apprentices in his family. Only this time he got the tenth place, which was the last one.
The Ding family in the famous river port expressed their intention to send their two children, Ding Tianlu and Ding Qusheng, to the Wang family to learn how to make wine."
"Ding family? I remember that the winemaker in Panama who brought glory to the Xianju people was named Ding. No wonder." Jin Huabin held up the tea, took a sip and said, "It turns out that he inherited Wang Wen's recipe. Tian
Lu and Qusheng are also aliases for wine, and their brothers will also be geniuses in winemaking."
"Yes, the Ding family is from the north. They fled to Botan due to the war many years ago. When they were in the north, they made wine. The materials for making wine in the north are different from those in the south. They mainly use sorghum and wheat, while the south uses rice.
The recipe was wrong, and their family was poor and could not afford good food. The quality of their wine was naturally not as good as that of the connoisseurs in the south, but it was not easy to establish a foothold in Botan, where there are many businesses, in two years. Bayi
The Wang family received two good apprentices, and everyone raised their glasses to express their congratulations. Wang Qingbo ordered more wine and food to ensure that everyone would enjoy themselves. Wang Wen and He Qingsheng were similar in age, and they had a good impression of each other because of the wine tasting. By the way of toasting,
The opportunity, naturally, brought the two together.
He Qingshengtong said with a red face: "Don't think that your wine is the best in Changtan. What our He family brings is just the ordinary wine sold on the counter. The real good wine is buried underground, and non-distinguished guests are not allowed to taste it."<
/p>
"I understand this. Each store has wine on the counter to cheer us up, and they haven't even taken out the wine at the bottom of the box. This is not a competition." Wang Wen replied with a blushing face: "Our Wang family winery is the best.
The wine has also not been brought out. I will buy you a drink when I have time."
He Qingsheng breathed out the smell of wine and said: "Why is it when? It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and to hit the sun is not as good as today. Can you take me to the winery now?"
He Qingsheng was curious when he was young, so he asked to go to the Wang family's winery to see what other good wines there were. She wanted to taste them one by one. Wang Wen also had a young mind, so after hearing what she said, he found an excuse and sneaked out secretly.
Let’s have a banquet and come to the wine cellar.”
The two were only twelve or thirteen years old, and their love had not yet blossomed. When their parents noticed that they were missing from the table, they just looked at each other and smiled. After approaching each other and toasting, Wang Qingbo asked: "I think the two children are a good match.
I wonder if your daughter Qingsheng is engaged."
He Qingzuo saw Wang Qingbo's intention to propose marriage, and smiled and said: "We only have one girl. She is spoiled. She likes to be with boys since she was a child. She is too wild, so there is no one to marry her."
Propose marriage."
Wang Qingbo clinked his glasses and said, "I think they can reach an agreement. How about we make an appointment to have a good chat?"
Wang Wen had the miracle of bees circling his house when he was born. He was a smart man and would definitely be a figure in the future. However, it was hard to say whether he would get rich or cause disaster. He Qingzui couldn't reply for a while, so he said: "This matter
I still have to discuss it with my wife and clan members. You know, marrying a daughter is also a matter for everyone in the He family."
Although He Qingzuo was born as a commoner, the He family was a family of poets, writers, and officials, and they had to consider many more factors than ordinary families. The two of them pressed this topic and toasted to other guests.
