Ask This Spring

Chapter 43:

The young people who had just looked at sarcasm are all dumbfounded at this moment. It is obvious that what is cooked in the iron pan is just ordinary fat, and it comes from the body of the sheep. It has a fishy smell. On weekdays, they smell, When I looked at it, I felt pickled, why is there such a strong aroma now, accompanied by the bursts of domineering spicy, it makes people dizzy, as if drunk.

In the rice wine, the taste is quite good. No matter in Bianzhou or Beijing, the established facts will not change. Seeing that the light green liquor gradually merged with the oil, and slowly turned into milky white, it not only aroused the wine bugs in the abdomen of the spectators, but even the long-term workers in the wine shop were not spared, staring straight at the woman's movements. , Can't bear to miss a bit.

Some guests saw tables and chairs in the wine shop, walked directly into it, and said to Huan Mu: "The wine outside is really fragrant. Give me a liter, and a plate of boiled salted chestnut meat, a plate of dried peanuts, and a plate. Rabbit breast with wine."

Huanmu stood behind the counter, and whispered: "Clear without bottom, 300 liters per liter." When I was in Bianzhou, many people disliked the high price of sake, and those who said that didn't want to think about the medicinal materials consumed in brewing. Food is really expensive. If it is sold at a discount, wouldn't it be a loss-making business?

"Three hundred words are three hundred words. There are not a few high-priced wine shops in the capital, and there is no shortage of you." The man waved his hand in a very bold gesture.

People of Zhou love to drink alcohol. In the hot summer weather, drinking cold wine can clear dryness and calmness; in winter, the frost and snow are bitter, and drinking hot wine can warm the body. In fact, cold wine and hot wine have their own advantages and disadvantages. Cold wine does not hurt the lungs and organs, but the aversion to cold in the stomach can cause stagnation of qi and blood; hot wine can damage the organs, but can promote qi and blood. with.

At first, Qu did not know that Wenjiu had these particularities, or yesterday Lianniang specially found her and demonstrated how to warm the wine in person. Qu only learned it. Now she stays in the kitchen to help, soaking it in hot water. The bottle body, wait until the temperature is right, then send the cup to the customer.

There are no girls to accompany the wine in this restaurant, and no Orchid. It is said to be ordinary, but the seats in the hall are already full, and there are even many guests stepping into the door and walking around, but they can’t find a place to stay. .

After all, the scent at the door is really attractive, as long as you have more money, I'm afraid you will come to try it.

The Jieyang fat fat was cut into four squares, and a pound of peeled and pinched almonds was added to it. After a while, Zhuo Lian kept standing in front of the stove, staring at the fire. She was calm and not at all impatient. Huan Shen glanced at it, then stepped forward suddenly, and asked in a low voice: "It's windy outside, how long will this pot of mutton cook?"

"The lamb must be very soft and rotten before it can be cooked. It's not the time yet." The fire in the stove brought bursts of warmth. Zhuo Lian didn't feel cold, and even his cheeks were blushed. She watched. The young man in front of him urged: "My uncle, go back to the house and rest. There are enough staff in the shop, so you don't need to worry about it."

"I'm here to accompany you." Huan Shen couldn't refuse to say.

Zhuo Lian also knows a little bit about the youth's temperament, knowing that this person is the most stubborn, so he simply pressed his lips tightly, and didn't say much. The appearances of young men and women were already outstanding, and the people on the main street of this stall gradually increased. Seeing Zhuo Lian combing women's hair styles, they thought they were husband and wife.

A teahouse opened opposite the wine shop. A young man dressed in luxurious clothes was caught by the smell of wine. In spite of the bitter cold wind, he directly pushed the window sash open, first sniffed his nose twice, and waited to see the stove through the curling smoke. When the two people next to each other, there was a smile at the corners of their mouths, and they said with a smile: "Brother, I said, why didn't Huan guards be with you today? It turns out that they are accompanied by beauties. Yanfu is not shallow!"

"Xiao Jiu must have read it wrong, Huan Shen is cold-hearted and cold-blooded. Even the most beautiful woman is a dead thing in his eyes. Today's report assumes that there is something else, never," the voice stopped abruptly, full of body. The noble man was shocked, and he did not expect to see his few-spoken subordinates on the street.

The ninth prince laughed twice, gloating and said: "Han guard is also a man after all. Now at the age of getting married and starting a business, it is nothing to think about yourself."

"That woman was married." The third prince interrupted coldly.

"Being married?" The Ninth Prince poked his head out again, and finally saw Zhuo Lian's dress clearly. He couldn't speak for a while, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

The third prince quickly returned to business as usual. Without looking at the exquisite refreshments placed on the table, he walked out and said: "The wine shop opposite is owned by the Huan family. Let's join in."

"This smell is really fragrant, not worse than the imperial wine in the palace. I heard that Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple went to various places to look for fine wine. He happened to pass Bianzhou a year ago. If he wanted to come, it won’t be long before the Huan’s family will give an order. I'm brewing royal wine." The nine princes are very firm in his words. He respects his status. He has drunk the fine wines that have been drunk uncommonly. The ability to taste wine is several times stronger than ordinary people.

Zhuo Lian has a keen sense of smell, and suddenly smelled a scent of spices. She fixed her eyes and found two young people standing nearby. Very handsome.

"Lady boss, what are you cooking?" The Ninth Prince leaned forward, staring at the fat floating up and down in the pot and asked.

"If you go back to the son, this is Jie mutton, which is cooked with the wine, so that the fat and aroma are soaked in the soup, and then mixed with the rice and wine. The lamb wine is made with a long aftertaste. Mellow Fanglie." At this moment, Zhuo Lian had guessed the identity of the two men, and his attitude was extremely gentle.

Huan Shen bowed first, and then stood in front of the woman without a trace, lest the Nine Princes get too close to her.

"There are Qing Bottomless and Jinbo in the wine shop, you can try them."

"Okay, there are still a few bottles of amber light left at home. Tell your mother and give them to two distinguished guests." When he moved from Bianzhou, Zhuo Lian sold most of his drinks to Boss Fei, but to open a shop. , She kept a few wines, and controlled the quantity when she sold the wines every day, so she would not be out of stock.

The nine princes came with interest and continued to ask: "What is so unusual about this amber light, and why is it so rare?"

"Qing Wu Bottom and Jinbo are just ordinary sake, while Amber Light is yellow wine. The raw materials are similar, but it is more mellow, and the taste is excellent." Zhuo Lian has also tasted the taste of Amber Light. If it were not for inconvenience, she could Reluctant to sell these treasures to boss Fei.

The two distinguished guests were taken to the elegant room by Huan Shen. Zhuo Lian inserted the fat with chopsticks, and found that it had been stewed to the point where the bones and the meat were rotten. He immediately stopped hesitating, picked up the scaffold and fished the fat into the basin. When I went to the kitchen, I changed the knife to cut into filaments quickly, mixed with the rice and wine on the pot, stirred with a wooden pestle, and added broth. The whole kitchen was suddenly filled with fragrance.

Uncle Fu cut the dried rabbit into thin slices. After Qu delivered the dishes to the front hall, he walked to Zhuo Lian, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Look at this lamb wine, it should be suitable for drinking in winter, but It is a mature wine in summer, and you may feel tired if you drink it when the weather is warm."

"Don’t worry, the wine can melt the fat, it will only increase the fat aroma, but not annoying people. Moreover, the longer the fermentation time of the wine, the stronger the flavor. If you are not in a hurry, we can wait until next winter. Wine." Zhuo Lian buttoned the lid and continued: "Boss Fei has written a letter earlier. After he returns to the capital in a few days, he will send some buds to make some mixed wines. Our store will also have a rich variety of products. some."

"By the way, is there any mutton left from yesterday?" she asked.

"Lamb wine only uses fat fat, and there is a lot of refined meat, lamb bones, and off-the-shelf goods."

Zhuo Lian nodded, "Uncle Fu is troubled by cutting the leg of lamb into thin slices. I have other uses."

The price of Jieyang is high, and the Huan family has already spent a lot of money to buy this shop, and they have to be frugal on weekdays, so they don't often buy mutton. Zhuo Lian wanted to take this opportunity to create a snowy meat paste, which was cut into slices and dipped into it when drinking. The wine tastes mellow and delicious. Although it is not as good as lamb wine that has been fermented for several months, it has a special flavor.

Uncle Fu is very clear about Zhuo Lian’s ability to make wine. Without saying anything, he took a leg of lamb out of the tank, removed the fascia on it, washed it repeatedly with warm water, and cleaned the blood. Then I changed the knife on the chopping board and made a banging sound.

Looking at the thin slices of meat like cicada wings, the woman's eyes were full of amazement, but she didn't expect Uncle Fu's craftsmanship to be so good.

When the mutton leg was ready, Zhuo Lian poured wine in the pot. After it was boiled, the mutton was blanched, cut into thin filaments, and then grinded with a grinder. Then, the leg bones were broken and three or two mutton bones were produced. One or two kidney fat was dug out from the internal organs and placed on a small silver pot and boiled slowly until it turned into oily water, filtered off the residue, mixed with the lamb paste in the bowl, and finally added dipterocarp. Seal the porcelain box.

Uncle Fu wiped his face and asked, "What is this?"

"This is called snow meat jelly, and you can use it when it's cold."

Inside the box.

Seeing the golden wine in the plain white porcelain cup, the nine princes phoenix eyes drew a thick surprise, and then he sniffed twice before his nose. After taking a sip, a particularly special scent filled his lips and teeth. At first, it was slightly sweet, then turned into spicy and fragrant in an instant, and finally was the light bitterness of herbal medicine. The three flavors complemented each other and merged into one, and it was impossible to pick out half of the shortcomings.

"Everything in winter and five heating, who knows that spring is hidden here, amber light, it is really a good name!" The nine princes admired again and again, filling the cup again, savoring it, and completely reluctant to chew the peony.

"Guard Huan, the woman who just sold wine at the entrance of the store, who is she?" He couldn't help asking.

The young man's face was expressionless and calmly answered, "That's his eldest wife."

Hearing this, the three princes couldn’t help being stunned. If it weren’t for protecting him, Huanjin wouldn’t have died under a dark arrow. Unexpectedly, the woman was Huanjin’s widow. She was a widow at a young age. pitful.

"Zhuo's brewing craftsmanship is very good, and the Huanjia restaurant is supported by her alone. She is close to filial piety, and has a good temperament. The subordinates respect her very much." Interested, so I can’t ask any more. His eyes flashed and he suddenly said, “If I remember correctly, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple once sent a batch of drinks to the Imperial Front, but your family’s?”

Huan Shen shook his head.

"Guanglu Temple chose the Zhuo family's breeze roar, which has nothing to do with the Huan family."

The nine princes frowned tightly, already guessing the trickiness in it, and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. At this moment, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." The door of the box was pushed open, and Zhuo Lian slowly walked in with three wine glasses. The bottom of the porcelain cup was covered with light powder thin slices, and he didn't know what it was.

The author has something to say: The advantages and disadvantages of hot and cold wine come from "Miscellaneous Jiyuan"

Snow meat paste was not called this name in ancient times.

Three winters and five heating, who knows that spring is here in Tibet——Liu Bingzhong

I was so cold that my mind was fainted, and I made up the details of the knock on the door, thank you sister~
