Chapter 331 Changle Chun! ! !
"You're such a winery boss, but you didn't even ask me to open a wine shop."
When they first met, Li Chengqian was completely rude.
It seemed that he was already very familiar with Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
"How dare you bother Your Highness the Crown Prince to worry about such trivial matters."
After speaking, he looked at Changle and asked:
"I heard that Her Royal Highness has learned to ride a bicycle?"
Zhuang Zhou also heard Li Er mention this before.
It's strange that Li Er always mentions Princess Changle in front of Zhuang Zhou from time to time.
Then he praised his precious daughter.
Zhuang Zhou didn't think much about it.
When Chang Le heard this, he smiled quite proudly and said:
"That's right! I can already ride freely, and the prince brother has already given me the bicycle."
As she said that, she smiled sweetly and looked at Zhuang Zhou intently.
Zhuang Zhou was also attracted by Changle's dress.
I have to say that Datang is indeed open and tolerant.
When he first arrived, Zhuang Zhou was still curious about women wearing men's clothing.
But later on, we saw more of this kind of thing.
In this era, blond and blue-eyed crooked nuts can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City.
There are more women wearing men's clothes, and women riding horses and playing polo.
Even a great emperor like Li Yuan would hold the pipa and play with the musicians from time to time.
There is absolutely no such thing as the aloofness and sourness of later literati.
"By the way, Boss Zhuang, I remember you promised the prince brother that you would give him a big iron donkey?"
Zhuang Zhou remembered that this happened.
But at that time, I agreed casually.
After all, riding a motorcycle and riding a bicycle are really two different things.
The risk is quite high.
This is the prince!
If something happens to the future successor of Datang, something happens to him.
After that, my career in Datang will not be sustainable.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Zhou quickly came up with an idea:
"Your Highness, how about I give you a tractor?"
"tractor?"
Li Chengqian recited it word for word.
Then he looked at Zhuang Zhou with confusion and asked:
"What is this?"
"A very interesting vehicle."
Zhuang Zhou thought, don't you just want to drive?
The speed of a tractor is always much safer.
I will give you a tractor and let you go to the fields to plow the soil after next spring.
His Majesty the Crown Prince plowed the soil with a tractor.
It's so interesting when I think of that scene.
Li Chengqian was obviously very interested when he heard this and said quickly:
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now."
"No! I have to make wine today, and I have all the ingredients.
Besides, it’s snowing in Lishan Mountain now.
After next spring, I will bring you one from my hometown. "
"That's okay!"
Li Chengqian nodded and then remembered this matter.
In the past few days, Li Er was with Zhuang Zhou, busy with cement and refined salt.
Li Chengqian has been helping to deal with government affairs of various ministries.
Now that I have some free time, I come to see Zhuang Zhou.
Unexpectedly, I heard that this guy started making wine again.
However, this wine is also Li Chengqian’s favorite.
Of course he would not let go of such a good thing.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian said it directly:
"Boss, I want to join the team to make wine!"
Zhuang Zhou was stunned. He didn't even think about making money from the original soil, cement and refined salt.
It was presented to the court to show his sincerity.
Brewing is my own independent business.
But Li Chengqian also wanted to get involved.
I'm a little hesitant, I'm planning on harvesting the wool!
Zhuang Zhou was still hesitating, and Li Chengqian spoke again:
"Boss, don't worry. I joined the business not to make money, but to participate in wine making. Is that okay?!"
So that’s it, you should have told me earlier!
Zhuang Zhou smiled heartily and said:
"Of course it's no problem! His Highness the Crown Prince joins the team, which is what I wish for!"
Ok!
This is so false.
But that's what I have to say on the scene.
Next, Zhuang Zhou began to prepare wine.
Li Chengqian also knows how to brew wine, but he has obviously never seen the brewing equipment in front of him.
"Boss, your brewing equipment is so strange. What is it?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and explained:
"This is a still that can purify the wine, so that the wine produced is purer and tastes better."
When Li Chengqian heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he praised:
"The owner of the winery is really imaginative. He can actually come up with such a wonderful way to make wine."
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said nothing more.
When he was a child in the countryside, he also saw his grandfather making wine.
But those are all brewed sorghum wine.
It uses fermented sorghum, and the wine will overflow when you pinch it with your hands.
After further distillation, pure liquor is obtained directly.
So it’s not difficult for Zhuang Zhou!
Just do it!
He ordered people to light the pebbles, which will be the coals of later generations.
Coal already exists in this era.
It’s just that the mining volume is not large and its application is not widespread.
Of course, the main reason is because the cost is too high.
Ordinary people can't afford it.
So most of them are based on charcoal.
But now Li Chengqian has joined the team.
It would be much easier for Zhuang Zhou to get coal.
Not long after, Li Chengqian asked someone to pull several carts of coal to the winery.
Next, Zhuang Zhou started to get busy and concentrate on brewing wine.
This was his first time doing this kind of thing, but he had already checked out all the procedures beforehand.
Soon, the aroma of wine overflowed.
The entire winery is filled with a strong aroma of wine.
Li Chengqian smelled the aroma of wine and couldn't help but swallowed:
"Boss, the aroma of this wine is really good."
Zhuang Zhou responded and continued.
at last.
Under Zhuang Zhou's careful brewing, the first jar of wine was released.
Zhuang Zhou brought a bamboo spoon, scooped out a spoonful and handed it to Li Chengqian, smiling:
"Your Highness, please taste it!"
Li Chengqian carefully took the bamboo spoon.
First, I looked at it carefully. The blue and white flowers were bright.
He couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, and he praised:
"So clear, without a trace of impurities.
The most rare thing is that the aroma of this wine is actually a bit more fragrant than the royal wine in the palace.
Good wine! What a great wine! "
Zhuang Zhou pursed his lips and suddenly had a bad idea:
"Your Highness, do you dare to do it in one go?"
The young man Li Chengqian suddenly became excited and said loudly:
"Why don't you dare!"
Although Chang Le didn't say anything, he was a little worried.
The prince's brother's drinking capacity is actually very average.
But I can't stand it, Zhuang Zhou said.
So, Li Chengqian drank the wine in his spoon in one gulp.
result.
"Cough cough~~cough~~"
"Hiss~~~ha~~~"
Li Chengqian coughed suddenly.
He kept spitting out his tongue.
His face turned red instantly.
Changle has never seen the crown prince brother look like this!
Seeing this, he burst into laughter.
Zhuang Zhou was okay, he tried not to laugh:
"How's the wine? Is it okay?"
Li Chengqian coughed for a long time before he finally recovered.
He glared at Zhuang Zhou and said angrily:
"Boss Zhuang, you have hurt me!"
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he laughed and said:
"Your Highness, I'm so sorry.
I forgot to remind you that the alcohol content of this wine is a bit high, so you may feel uncomfortable after drinking it for the first time.
However, this wine has a pure taste and a long aftertaste, making it a rare wine. "
Seeing this, Changle couldn't help but said:
"Boss, is this wine really so magical?"
Zhuang Zhou nodded and said with a smile:
"Your Highness Princess, why don't you give it a try?"
When Chang Le heard this, he hesitated.
He looked at Li Chengqian and saw him nodding in agreement.
Then he carefully scooped up a cup and took a sip.
Suddenly.
Changle's eyes lit up and he exclaimed:
"This wine... this wine is really magical!
I feel like my whole person has become much more refreshed. "
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but pick up the spoon again and took a sip.
This time it was not as embarrassing as before.
And although this wine is strong, it tastes great and has a long aftertaste.
"Boss, your brewing skills are really amazing!"
When Li Chengqian said this, he suddenly thought of something:
"How do you plan to price this wine?!"
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He really hadn't thought about it!
Li Chengqian said: "The worst wine in Chang'an costs three hundred coins. Our wine must not be lower than this price."
Wine (four sounds) was good in the Tang Dynasty, and it was even more popular in Chang'an.
Li Bai once wrote a poem about "Ten thousand cups of wine in golden bottles".
In other words, a bucket of wine would cost 10,000 copper coins.
One bucket is equivalent to 10 liters, which is about 20 pounds.
After all, it’s 500 yuan per catty.
It can be seen that the wine in Chang'an is expensive!
of course.
There is still a big gap between the era when Li Bai lived and now.
Zhuang Zhou had no objection:
"Okay! Can you decide the price?"
Li Chengqian responded and said:
"But now, we still have to think about a name for this wine?"
Zhuang Zhou was also thinking about this problem and glanced at Princess Changle, whose face was already rosy.
Suddenly I had an idea:
"How about naming this wine Changle Chun! It belongs to the Tang Chun series.
In the future, there will be Xinghua Spring, Bamboo Leaf Spring, Taibai Spring, Lishan Spring, Jiannanchun..."
When Changle heard this, he couldn't help but smile and thought:
The boss of this store is really an interesting person!
