"Drunkard of the Tang Dynasty" Author: Geyu

Traveling through the smoke and clouds of thousands of years, the top modern sommelier returned to Tang Dynasty drunkenly. From then on, the prodigal son jumped over the dragon gate, and from then on, the drunkard Xiao Rui was born.

The smoke and dust of the prosperous Tang Dynasty were rolled up and prosperous like a dream. Dandan Luoshui, towering Chang'an, Wu Dai is in the wind, Li Du is his companion, heaven and earth are the banquet, drinking and singing. The plump girl with a charming smile on her face who was half leaning against the door of the brothel, and her pretty face that had not yet faded from the drunkenness, reflected the impression of the Tang Dynasty in the eyes and dreams of the traveler Xiao Rui.

Volume 1: Travel to Luoyang Chapter 001: A Throw of Beauty

The stone bridge is Tianjin Bridge, also known as Luoyang Bridge. Across the Luo River that passes through Luoyang City, and to the west after crossing the bridge, is "Qingfang". "The golden wind blows away the summer and the water covers the roof, and the half-moon wave shines on the beautiful women." In Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty in the 21st year of Kaiyuan, it was a world-famous place where fireworks flourished, making scholars, literati, officials and nobles forget to leave. Gentle country.

There are countless red gardens in "Qingfang". In each garden, there are many pink singers who make the men in the world ecstasy.

This summer is extremely hot. Although it was already afternoon, the air was still filled with suffocating heat and humidity.

Upstairs in Mingyue, Liu Mengyan was wearing light makeup and a thin open-cut skirt. On top of her towering breasts was an extremely beautiful face. She leaned lonely on the railing of the boudoir, looking at the turquoise river not far from the building, frowning slightly, and her expression became increasingly gloomy.

With a faint sigh, she lowered her head and looked at the deep cleavage on her chest. In the middle of the white and tender cleavage, there was a crystal clear crescent jade pendant tied with a red thread. Speechless for a while.

Her slender jade hands trembled, and she finally took off the jade pendant. She gritted her teeth and raised her pink wrist lightly. The crescent jade pendant flashed a faint white light in the air and spun around. , when the sky fell.

Downstairs, a young man in a blue undershirt looked up greedily at the delicate figure looming in the attic. He couldn't help but swallowed, and suddenly a sparkling object fell from the sky. It was no coincidence. Unfortunately it fell at his feet.

There was a crisp sound, but the crescent moon was still "lying" intact on the ground paved with bluestone tiles.

The young man groaned and knelt down to look.

In the middle of the originally pure white crescent jade surface, a small group of red light flows faintly, as if it is bound in the jade, and is rushing back and forth at the moment. The young man became more curious and reached out to pick it up. There was a tingling sensation in the tentacles, and a rush of heat rushed along the wrist to his forehead. Venus flashed in front of his eyes, and the young man fainted on the spot.

...

"Miss, look, the follicle from the Liu family is here again - oh, it's so good, why is this person lying on the ground motionless?" The maid Baoqing took a basin of water, glanced downstairs, and said in surprise.

"Baoqing, don't talk nonsense, what follicles, dirty words are so unpleasant." Liu Mengyan glared at her, lazily stood up and walked to the incense bed, "I feel unwell today. Close the door tightly, no one will be seen."

Bao Qing said obediently, put down the bright yellow glazed pottery basin, opened the pink curtain, and quietly went downstairs.

When Baoqing came downstairs, the boy downstairs had just climbed up from the cold and damp ground, dusted himself off, glanced at her, and walked away.

Bao Qing was startled, his small nose straightened, and he thought to himself, it seems a little strange that this famous follicle in Luoyang City is leaving like this? Don't you want to pester the lady? Don't you stare at your own breasts lustfully and become stupid? She touched her forehead and felt the fine beads of sweat on her hand.

Bao Qing is from Southland. He was sold by his unscrupulous father to Hongyuan in Luoyang City when he was 12 years old. He became the personal maid of Liu Mengyan, the leading singer of Mingyue Loutou. She has been there for 3 years now. . "Follicle" is a slang term from her hometown, which roughly means "eating soft rice". The young man who had just left was Xiao Rui and Xiao Zichang, the prospective son-in-law of Liu Youqiu, the prime minister of the left dynasty, who was a great nobleman in Luoyang City.

I heard that Xiao Rui was originally a high-ranking official in the court, but now he has become a wanderer who eats and drinks in the prime minister's house without learning and skills. He wanders around the place of fireworks day and night, and has a very bad reputation. .

……

Pedestrians, cars and horses are bustling in an endless stream. The boy crossed Luoyang Bridge all the way, his expression was so weird. After walking a few steps, I couldn't help but look back. I walked to the river bank and stood under a weeping willow tree, looking at the mirror-clear river and feeling pity for myself.

Uh... Xiao Rui? The name is not bad, he is tall and handsome, but his reputation is a bit stinky and superficial - the only free-spirited libertine in Luoyang City. sky! What a thief! The young man looked up at the scorching sun, with cold sweat on his forehead.

He is a well-known top sommelier, the chief consultant of three well-known domestic wine groups, an elite in the wine industry who is proficient in ancient and modern wine-making techniques and familiar with wine culture. He owns a car and a house and has an annual income of hundreds of thousands. Now he has inexplicably traveled back to the Tang Dynasty and has become a libertine that everyone despises, a complete coward. Thinking of this, he cursed secretly.

Drinking is a science. Most people look down upon people who like to drink. Being able to drink is completely different from knowing how to drink. Those who know how to drink just drink, but those who know how to drink can turn wine into a kind of culture and art and even a ubiquitous philosophy of life. Wine is not just for drinking, it can be your mood, a set of love routines, a piece of the past, a close friend, who can always dance with you in a corner of your heart.

A good drinker is an alcoholic. Wine tasting, wine reading, and wine research are alcoholics who are familiar with the three flavors in wine. An alcoholic actually represents a state of mind. As for the sommelier becoming a profession, it is the sommelier who is called the elite in the industry. In short, a sommelier is a person who applies sensory evaluation technology to evaluate the quality of wine, guides the brewing process, storage and blending, and conducts wine design and new product development.

A good sommelier is an absolute treasure. The reason why he later rose to become one of the few sommeliers in the country was mainly because God gave him a set of perfect senses that can even be said to be almost supernatural: extraordinary senses of smell and taste. His nose and taste buds seem to be born for tasting wine. No matter what kind of wine it is, as long as he can look at it, shake it, smell it, and taste it, he can basically judge it. The quality of the wine, as well as the composition of the wine. What is the alcohol content, acidity, and whether there is more or less water? You can tell it after tasting it.

Of course, "sensory" wine tasting is based on mastery of winemaking technology and wine culture. Just having a good nose is useless.

That day, he drove to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River to interview a certain Chinese studies master who was also a drunken gentleman. The master happily invited me to invite you. It was a rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. It was a pleasure to cook wine with green plums and discuss the essays. After a long drinking session from noon to dusk, with his eyes blurred and drunken words, the master quietly drove westward, and he also passed away drunk. This drunkenness actually brought him to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After traveling through time, I just traveled through time, and accepted my fate. Unexpectedly, I traveled through time to the jade pendant on the chest of a brothel singer. The plump breasts and jade breasts are good for the eyes, but they are not a long-term solution! After staying in this jade pendant for more than half a year, I finally got a chance to be reborn, but the possessed brother was so unbearable.

Being poor and ugly is nothing, and being greedy for women is nothing, but why should he be a disgusting and unappetizing playboy? Even the dandies praised this young man, but you should know that what he was squandering was the money he defrauded from his future father-in-law's house.

I don’t know how long he stood silently when a loud and melodious bell sounded in his ears. He was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Rui? Okay, okay, the left and right are just shells, even if he He’s just a criminal, what does it have to do with me?”

Thinking of this, he walked away, his steps becoming lighter.

At both ends of Luoyang Bridge, there were row upon row of wine shops and shops. The huge flow of people amazed him. It is said that the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous in its heyday, and when I saw it with my own eyes today, it was indeed well-deserved.

As I walked away, the rich aroma of wine came into my nostrils.

No, to be precise, they are two different flavors of wine. The sweet aroma is soft, light and long with a bit of sourness. The refreshing aroma is strong but not strong. His feet stagnated, and then he suddenly sniffed in ecstasy: It seems that as he traveled through time and space and was reborn, this superb sense of smell for wine did not disappear, but also "transmitted" to this body, and there was also a more sensitive one. Feel. He judged without hesitation that the large wine shop named Yuhuchun in front of him sold two kinds of wine, one was low-alcohol grain wine, and the other was wine with rough brewing technology.

I touched a handful, uh, not bad, this guy still has some copper coins in his pocket. After a little hesitation, he walked into the wine shop where people were coming and going and the smell of wine was overflowing. Following the behavior of the people from the Tang Dynasty around him, he knelt awkwardly on the bench, greeted the waiter, ordered some side dishes, and ordered a few bottles of wine. He was about to pour himself a drink when he suddenly heard a joking voice with a hint of disdain penetrate his ears. : "Hey, where did the sun come out from? Do you, Mr. Xiao Rui, dare to drink alcohol today?"

Volume 1 Luoyang Tour Chapter 002: Smell the Fragrance and Know the Wine (Part 1)

Xiao Rui looked up and saw a young man in rich clothes standing not far away with his mouth curled up, shaking a bamboo-wing folding fan in his hand. It is divided into the elegant and suave colors of the scholars of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Hua Yang Mengyang? ! The son of Yang Xuanxuan, who was once the chief minister of Henan Prefecture, the young owner of this wine shop, a student of Luoyang Official School, and his old acquaintance, this name immediately came to Xiao Rui's mind.

After a pause, he had to stand up and imitate the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, gave a salute, and said loudly, "It turns out to be Brother Meng Yang, long time no see."

Yang Hua sneered, "It's been a long time. I've been asking you to borrow money from me a few days ago. However, I'm very strange. How come you, a birdie who has never been a teetotal drinker, start to imitate other people's drinking habits?"

"A teetotaler?" Xiao Rui was slightly startled. Well, this guy seems to have a strange problem with alcohol allergy. After two small glasses of wine, he will be drunk into a puddle.

Xiao Rui chuckled, "I'll have a drink once in a while, haha."

After saying that, he ignored Yang Hua and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Xiao Rui frowned as he smacked his mouth with the slightly fragrant wine.

Yang Hua laughed loudly and came over, sat next to him, and sarcastically said, "Look, can't you? If you have another drink, you will probably hug the table and chairs and act like a beauty." Even touching and kissing.”

The wine entered the throat, leaving a slight aroma and a slightly sweet feeling. It was not rice wine, but malt wine. The former was of the sauce-flavor type, while the latter was of the light-flavor type. Xiao Rui immediately judged the type of wine. But, it's not too bland and tasteless, not as strong as the beer in modern society.

The alcohol content of wine in ancient times was indeed low. Xiao Rui shook his head again and muttered to himself, "It's very light. It's really very light."

He was originally Talking to himself, Yang Hua couldn't help but smile when he heard it, "What do you know? The jade pot spring sold in our store is famous in Luoyang and even in the Tang Dynasty, and you still call it dull? There is Tukuchun in Xingyang, Fuping There is Shijiangchun, Jiannan has Shaochun, Yingzhou has Fushui wine, Wucheng has Ruoxiajiu, Lingnan has Lingxi wine, Yicheng has Jiuleng wine, Chang'an has Xishiqiang wine, and there are three kinds of wine imported from Persia. Lejiang and Malang wine imported from Dashi, but we have Yuhuchun in Luoyang! This famous wine turns out to be bland and ignorant in your mouth."

Xiao Rui is this. To put it bluntly, there is no intention to slander Datang Famous Wine. For him, who is accustomed to modern high-altitude wines, this Tang Dynasty wine is of course bland and tasteless. The prosperous Tang Dynasty was a dynasty of poetry and a country of wine. Xiao Rui was naturally aware of the famous wines mentioned by Yang Hua: Probably, in the Tang Dynasty, these were equivalent to Moutai Wuliangye in later generations.

"The Drunkard of the Tang Dynasty" Section 2

Author : Grid Fish

Ancient people had to hold a vessel when drinking. "You can't drink without a drinking vessel, and the size of the drinking vessel has its own limits." People in the Tang Dynasty have always paid attention to beautiful food and beautiful wine vessels, and they pay even more attention to the exquisite wine vessels when drinking. The Yang family's Yuhuchun is one of the famous wine shops in Luoyang City. The wine vessels used are of course extremely exquisite ceramic wine cups, wine cups, Wine bottles and the like.

Xiao Rui smiled nonchalantly and ignored Yang Hua's sarcasm. He just looked down at the six-sided binaural cup in his hand and shook the light green wine professionally. , leaned over and took another sniff, then smiled, seeming to be talking to himself or responding to Yang Hua's disdain: "The heat is a little worse. If it is fermented more fully, the taste will be better."

Yang Huaben was also familiar with Xiao Rui. He was once a classmate of Luoyang Official School and knew him very well. When he saw him "pretending" to comment on Yuhuchun, which he was proud of, like a regular customer in the wine shop, There was also a hint of "regret" in his words. Seeing that he was somewhat indifferent to her, and remembering how shamelessly he came to her to borrow money for fun in the past, she couldn't help but sneered even more disdainfully, "You idiot, you are really wasting this fine wine by drinking this wine." . If it weren't for the sake of your classmates, I would kick you out."

This was the first time he was called a fool. Xiao Rui didn't look up and smiled bitterly in his heart. Glancing at the drinkers looking around, he sighed secretly, picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. "I'm new here." It's better to cause less trouble. Just be a straw bag. As I said before, he's just a shell. Even if he's just a criminal, what does it have to do with me?

Seeing Xiao Rui's calm and indifferent expression, "unmoved", Yang Hua became more and more dissatisfied. He just stood there and talked about Xiao Rui's various misdeeds like the old ladies: Why do you rely on Prime Minister Liu's Mansion? Eating for free, deceiving Mr. Zhang of Xifang three thousand dollars, peeping at the singer in the Yulou bathing and being beaten up by Mr. Turtle...

These unbearable "past events" appeared in my mind and turned into Yang. The barbed honey-belly sword in Hua's mouth turned into the rude mocking laughter of the nearby drinkers. Xiao Rui finally couldn't hold it back any longer, stood up in anger, and shouted: "Shut up!"

Yang Hua He was talking proudly, but he was startled when he heard a loud shout. He glanced at Xiao Rui's forehead with bulging veins and his slightly trembling robe sleeves, and stared, "What? I've wronged you?"

Xiao Rui was about to walk away, but then he thought about it. I have become one with "Xiao Rui". Looking at what this prodigal has done in the past, I don't know how much "public opinion" I will encounter. If I can't bear a scolding, how can I rely on this? Identity survives. When he thought of this, he calmed down and slowly sat back down.

Seeing Yang Hua standing in front of the table with a red face and a thick neck like a "fighting chicken", the folding fan in his hand was fanning gracelessly. Xiao Rui smiled faintly, "Brother Mengyang, I just want to get drunk quietly, okay?"

"Talent and learning are dedicated to the emperor's family, and fine wine is sold to those who know the goods, like you, who has no capacity for alcohol and no knowledge of the goods. For a person who understands wine but has no taste for wine, drinking this fine wine is simply a waste of money." Seeing that Xiao Rui's attitude had "softened", Yang Hua didn't want to quarrel with him anymore, sneered and turned his back to the counter.

A top ten sommelier in the industry, a wine-tasting genius who is known as the "Three Crowns of Sommeliers" who can recognize wine by smelling a scent as easily as a woman by smelling a scent, is actually accused of being "nothing." Drinking capacity, lack of understanding of wine, and no taste of wine." Xiao Rui was startled at first, then subconsciously pursed his lips, and a sentence proudly slipped out of his mouth: "If I don't understand wine, there won't be many people in the world who understand wine.

"

Yang Hua stopped and before turning around, he heard a cold and deep voice coming from the corner: "You have such a big tone! ”

Volume 1 Luoyang Tour Chapter 003 Smell the Smell and Know the Wine (Part 2)

Xiao Rui put down the wine cup in his hand, glanced sideways, and moved a little while looking slightly stiff. In the northwest corner of the restaurant hall, an old man with a clear face and a bun, wearing a green round-neck robe, was sitting there, holding a glass of wine and looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

Xiao Rui sneered in his heart, but his face was still calm. He just glanced briefly and looked back, drinking his own wine. Unexpectedly, the old man stood up and walked towards him step by step, cupping his hands slightly, his eyes bright, " I would like to ask my brother, Meng Chang, what is the difference in the heat of Yuhuchun? ”

“Meng Chang? ! "

"Meng Yuhu? "

The drinkers around him exclaimed in surprise, and Yang Hua turned around and looked at the old man in shock.

Meng Chang is the boss of Yuhuchun Winery in Luoyang. It is said that This Yuhuchun was brewed by him. However, although this man was famous, he behaved very strangely. He only lived in the brewery and never interacted with outsiders. The wine he brewed was managed by his cousin Meng Xu. , I don’t know how he ended up as a silent drinker in Yang Hua’s wine shop.

If he hadn’t claimed his identity, no one would have distinguished this slightly cold-looking old man dressed as a scholar from “Meng Yu.” "Hu" is associated with the famous name.

Listening to everyone's surprise and whispers, Xiao Rui naturally realized that this was the brewer of Yuhuchun in Luoyang. He looked at Meng Chang curiously , I wondered how a wine-making craftsman could be dressed like this. He didn't look like a wine-making craftsman, but like an old scholar who had failed for many years.

Yang Hua hurried over and bowed deeply, "Mr. Meng is here." The shop, the shop is full of glory - this idiot is pure nonsense, sir, please don't take it seriously. ”

“That’s right, that’s right.” "Several drinkers also echoed.

In terms of status, Yang Hua's father Yang Xuanxuan once served as an official, and Yang Hua himself was also a scholar. Meng Chang was just a market wine worker. Logically speaking, he should not This is a courtesy, but Meng Chang behaves strangely, and the quantity of Yuhuchun he produces is limited, and it is only supplied to a few wine shops and a few merchants. The Yang family's wine shop has made huge profits by specializing in Yuhuchun. , Meng Chang is equivalent to the God of Wealth of the Yang family, and he cannot be offended. Seeing Meng Chang dressed as a scholar, Yang Hua took the opportunity to call him sir.

But Meng Chang is really a weirdo. Yang Hua's salute was unmoved, and he didn't even look at him. He just stared at Xiao Rui coldly: "Brother, I have spent ten years of work and gathered the essence of dozens of wine recipes to achieve this jade. Hu Chun...everyone who drinks it praises it, but I have never heard of anyone who scorns it like this little brother. "

Meng Chang's confidence and arrogance were palpable, and Xiao Rui couldn't help but twitch his lips. He slowly stood up with the wine cup in hand and said lightly, "Mr. Meng, this wine is light green in color but turbid. There are suspended filaments and the aroma is scattered but not condensed, indicating that the fermentation time is still short. If the wine is completely fermented, the color of the wine will be pure green without impurities, and the aroma will be curdled like silk, so some people say that the heat is slightly insufficient. "

Meng Chang looked surprised, looked deeply at the handsome young man in front of him, and said slowly, "From what I heard, I seem to be involved in brewing..."

Wine tasting is a profession. At this moment, Xiao Rui completely forgot that this was the Tang Dynasty after time travel. He cast his eyes deeply into the slightly swirling wine in the cup and continued to taste, "Strictly speaking, Yuhuchun is just a middle-grade wine. If someone guessed correctly, Mr. Meng's Yuhuchun is made from ale instead of the usual corn. The koji used must be fried baiji, and the fermentation time should be around 8 days in spring and summer, and around 12 days in autumn and winter. For example, Usually winemaking and fermentation are slightly shorter. "

Meng Chang's hands behind his back suddenly trembled, his eyes shone brightly, and he said in shock, "Who are you? How do you know my exclusive secret recipe! ”

With just a little taste, he could determine the raw materials and koji used in brewing, and even calculate the fermentation time. How could Meng Chang not be surprised.

He regards his original Yuhuchun recipe as a treasure. Winemaking was originally for his own entertainment rather than commercial business. Therefore, there are very few workers in his winery. He does many things himself, so the output is very small. If it were not for the purpose of supporting a large family, he would never sell Yu Huchun. There is absolutely no chance that the formula will be leaked, but how did this young man know it—could it?

Meng Chang's eyes became more and more fanatical and shocked. He was an unusual person who was born with a love for wine and wine. Although he was full of talent, he had no intention of seeking fame and he spent his whole life buying and tasting wine. He has been immersed in wine all his life, but he can taste the quality of wine, but it is absolutely impossible to taste the raw materials and formula of wine.

Xiao Rui read something "like-minded" in Meng Chang's eyes, and couldn't help but have a good impression of him. On a whim, he took a step forward and whispered in Meng Chang's ear, "If Mr. Meng slightly changes the recipe of the wine, the quality of the wine will become more premium. Divide the wheat into three equal parts, first Boil the first portion into porridge, add dry koji, put it into an urn and seal it with mud for fermentation. Ten days later, open the urn and put in the second portion of cooked wheat porridge... Let the three portions of porridge be fully fermented in turn for more than a month, and the heat will be about the same. That’s enough.”

For Xiao Rui, there are countless wine classics handed down from China’s thousands of years of wine culture, among which many ancient winemaking recipes are deeply engraved in his mind. As soon as he thought about it, a recipe similar to the Jade Pot Spring Brewing method appeared in the "Lingzi Wine Classic" written by Anonymous in the late Yuan Dynasty. When he opened his mouth to say it, he regretted it slightly.

Meng Chang's expression changed, he pondered, and suddenly said, "The characteristic of Yuhuchun is its fragrance, which leaves a fragrance in the mouth. If it ferments for too long, the fragrance will be too rich and worldly, which is inappropriate, inappropriate!

Xiao Rui shook his head in confusion, "Mr. Meng, who said that the more fully fermented the aroma will be, the richer it will be. That's a mistake. It's a big mistake. This wine goes from a light fragrance to a strong fragrance and then to a condensed fragrance." The aroma is also gradually purified as the fermentation is sufficient, from light to strong and then clear..."

Meng Chang's face gradually turned red after hearing this. He suddenly grabbed Xiao Rui's hand, stared at him deeply, and then let go of his hand and bowed respectfully, "I have fallen into the trap of ancient methods. My words made me enlightened and I learned a lesson!" ”

…

…

If the previous “wine tasting” can be said to be nonsense, but later Xiao Rui’s opinion of Yuhuchun With his accurate judgment, coupled with the wonderful recipe and the theory of purifying the aroma of wine, Meng Chang has concluded that the beautiful young man in front of him is a "fellow-minded person". It should be noted that those professional "terms" cannot be understood by a layman by looking at wine classics.

He didn't know Xiao Rui's bad reputation, and of course he wouldn't care even if he knew. He has been immersed in wine for decades and has always been regarded as an alternative. Now that he meets a "comrade", he is surprised and a little happy. He took Xiao Rui's hand and "drag" him to his desk. The two of them drank and ate, chatting happily. In fact, Xiao Rui's feelings were similar to his. When he traveled to the Tang Dynasty and met an ancient man who enjoyed wine tasting, he felt a little bit excited.

While they were drinking wine, Meng Chang looked at Xiao Rui with more and more enthusiasm: a boy who was not even a young man was actually so deeply immersed in wine, and he spoke and behaved in all kinds of wine-making methods. He has a wealth of knowledge about wine tasting at his fingertips, and to the ears of a person who has a strong thirst for knowledge about wine, it is like the sound of nature.

The two became acquainted with each other over wine, and even began to call themselves brothers over wine, which stunned the onlookers. Yang Hua simply couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't understand and couldn't figure out why Meng Yuhu, a noble and aloof celebrity in Luoyang, could be so attracted to Xiao Rui, a loser.

The conversation between the two became louder and louder. Xiao Rui was gesticulating in an arrogant manner, while Meng Chang actually listened solemnly, which surprised Yang Hua and others.

"Drunkard of the Tang Dynasty" Section 3

Author: Ge Yu

"Lao Meng, when it comes to rice wine, we still have to count the glutinous rice from the Zhenguan period. Liquor and rice wine are the best, such as Pear Blossom Spring, Wuyun Pulp. Qingqigu Liquor takes advantage of the pear blossoms and Jiangnan pear blossoms to take the pear blossoms and add them to the fermented rice. There is nothing better than being in the field of pear blossoms in spring, so it is called pear blossom spring... It is brewed in ten days. The taste is as good as Wuyun pulp, and the aroma is as rich as the fragrant clouds from the nine days. In the early days of Shu, there were five clouds in the air, and the royal palace in front of the palace announced the rope, chasing into the flowers for a burst of fragrance. "Xiao Rui's eyebrows were dancing, and her white and slender fingers were waving in the air.

"Of course!" Meng Chang high-fived, his old face glowing with excitement, "He who knows wine and knows himself is also a descendant and a younger brother!"

" Lao Meng, do you know the origin of wine?" Xiao Rui picked up a piece of braised pork and chewed it.

"Generosity should be treated with generosity, and worries are unforgettable. Du Kang is the only one who can relieve them." Meng Chang chanted slowly, "Dukang presented the fragrant water to the Yellow Emperor. The emperor and all the ministers thought that It is the vitality in food. Only Cangjie said casually: "This water is fragrant and mellow, and you will feel good when you drink it." After saying this, he coined the word "wine". Therefore, Du Kang is the ancestor of my wine. Descendants are no less than Confucius and Taoist ancestors."

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty during the Kaiyuan period of Zhenguan, the atmosphere was open and tolerant. There were many people who believed in Taoism and Buddhism, and there were also many people who believed in Confucianism. All. Taoist temples were spread all over the country in the Tang Dynasty, and the literati all over the world were especially headed by the four major families of Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng. Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism coexist and prosper, which is very, very rare in Chinese history.

Hearing that Meng Chang actually compared Du Kang with Kong Sage and Taoist Patriarch, some of the drinkers in the audience could not help but sneer. A few good people even wanted to come forward to argue with Meng Chang, but they Meng Chang turned a blind eye to their "provocation" and had no choice but to give up. Xiao Rui also felt that it was a bit exaggerated. Meng Chang's enthusiastic demeanor could be seen, so he couldn't say anything. He just laughed and drank.

"Lao Meng, in fact, what Du Kang is best at is not making wine, but smelling the aroma and recognizing the wine." Xiao Rui laughed, "The Tao of wine is the Tao of drinking, that is, the Tao of tasting. Since From Du Kang onwards, those who smell the aroma can recognize the good and bad types of wine, smell the aroma and distinguish it, this is the highest level of wine tasting!"

Meng Chang frowned without concealing it! My own doubts, "Brother, you drank too much. It is a great thing for me to be able to taste wine and recognize wine. Recognizing wine by smelling its aroma is something that has never been heard of since ancient times."

Meng Chang Although the alcohol content of Yuhuchun brewed is low, it is still too much to drink. After sitting across from Meng Chang and having a drink, Xiao Rui had already drank a lot and was 70% drunk. Under the influence of alcohol, he let out a long burp and showed his madness: "Well, Lao Meng, although I am not talented, I can still smell the aroma and recognize the wine!"

Meng Changyao He shook his head, obviously not believing it, "Brother, I am joking. Tasting wine is like diagnosing a disease. Observation, smelling and tasting are all indispensable. It is absolutely impossible to recognize wine by just smelling the aroma. No, it is impossible."

Seeing Xiao Rui's face full of confidence, he simply laughed and said, "Okay, I will try the elder brother's skill of smelling aroma and recognizing wine. Boss Yang, please go buy some wine elsewhere. , each jar will be charged to my account."

...

All the drinkers abandoned their tables and stood up to stand around Meng Chang and Xiao. Rui and Rui sat in front of the table facing each other. Yang Hua personally held the wine, while Xiao Rui's eyes were covered with a layer of black damask.

Everyone was whispering, Meng Chang smiled, and Yang Hua, who poured a glass of wine from a wine jar, had a complex expression on his face and couldn't tell what he was feeling. Today, Xiao Rui, the famous loser in Luoyang City, has brought him too many surprises. Who knows if he will continue to create miracles.

Thinking of this, Yang Hua glanced at Xiao Rui. Seeing that his face covered with black silk was indifferent, and there was a wild smile on the corner of his mouth, he felt strange for no reason.

Yang Hua picked up a glass of wine and placed it a palm away from Xiao Rui's nostrils. The hall suddenly became quiet, and Xiao Rui, who was blindfolded, seemed to hear the excited and nervous heartbeat of someone in the silent wine shop.

He took a deep breath. In fact, it was not the first time for him to smell the aroma and recognize the wine. As early as in his previous life, he once performed the unique skill of smelling aroma and recognizing wine in an entertainment program broadcast live on a provincial TV station. He relied not only on his magical nose, but also on his familiarity with various wines. In his opinion, the "smell" of this ancient wine is much easier than that of modern liquor. The reason is very simple. Because of the low alcohol content, ancient wine has a particularly strong aroma. It should not be difficult to judge by analyzing the aroma and supplementing it with numerous treasures of Tang Dynasty wines.

This arrogant performance of smelling wine and smelling wine in public, in addition to the drunkenness, also vaguely cleared some "unbearable" considerations for Brother Xiao. After all, he is the owner of this body and not the prodigal. He still wants to live in this prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is unrealistic not to consider his reputation.

"Closer." Xiao Rui frowned, his nose gently twitching, and a rich fragrance spread through his nostrils, like the gorgeous spring breeze of pear blossoms. The smile on his lips became heavier, "Spring of pear blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River."

Yang Hua was stunned, and everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, "That's right!"

Meng Chang's expression changed. , hurriedly stood up and took the wine cup from Meng Chang's hand, opened another jar of wine, poured a cup, then leaned close to Xiao Rui's nostrils and asked with a trembling voice, "Brother Zishang, why is this wine?"

Xiao Rui's nostrils twitched suddenly, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed into his nostrils with strong irritation. He couldn't help but sneeze all over Meng Chang, who was waiting for a reply. .

"Sorry, this wine is too strong. It is dry and cold in nature. It is brewed from oats. It has the smell of wine but no aroma. The smell of wine is strong but not strong. It dissipates in an instant and goes away as quickly as it comes. Quickly, I concluded that this must be the Sanle wine brewed by Hu people from Hu." Xiao Rui covered his nose.

……

……

Amidst the constant exclamations of everyone, Xiao Rui ended the performance of smelling aroma and recognizing wine. After chatting with Meng Chang for a few words, the two met to say goodbye. Under the incredible "looks" of the drinkers and the bartenders, he separated from the crowd and strode away.

After a few steps, I saw a smiling girl in green standing at the door of the wine shop. She wore a short undershirt and a long skirt. Her skin was as radiant as snow. Her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she turned a few times on Xiao Rui's face. . This girl's appearance was extremely beautiful. Xiao Rui's eyes were dull for a few seconds, and then four words immediately appeared in his mind: thrilling.
