The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 221 The Banquet of Hundred Wines

"You can't take away this jar of wine. I want to use it for a hundred wine banquet!"

After Li An finished speaking, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baolin, Yuchi Baoqing and Niu Sheng all looked at Li An in surprise.

Among them, Cheng Chumo laughed: "You are planning to tell the world about your jade liquid wine."

"By the way, Brother An, at the Cheng Mansion banquet, will you get the jade liquid wine?" Yuchi Baoqing asked.

Li An chuckled, why Li An has been focusing on this wine making for this period of time? Firstly, it is for the Cheng Mansion banquet, and secondly, it is for this hundred wine banquet that Li Yuan once organized!
People in the Tang Dynasty loved wine. Not only the common people, but also the dignitaries in the palace also loved wine.

This hundred-wine banquet was created by Li Yuan. It was held in Qujiang every year after the summer harvest. The selected wine would be listed as the royal wine in the Tang Dynasty court. When all the officials gathered in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the selected wine would be used as the royal wine. Special wine for the evening.

As long as it can become the royal wine, the reputation of this wine can be established, and then you will no longer worry about sales, but worry about too little brewing (a bit like the current supply of cakes in Zibo Barbecue, haha, completely in short supply).

Of course, such a good thing is that the wine merchants around Chang'an City, or the wine merchants from all over the country who have the conditions to enter Chang'an, are also optimistic about this opportunity, and will basically send the best wine they brew to the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan. [-]-wine banquet.

Because of this, this hundred-wine banquet is now famous.

Cheng Chuliang also laughed then: "Brother An, you did a good job. How could we forget about this Hundred Wine Banquet? You know, the wines that got the first wine of the Hundred Wine Banquet were controlled by the literati. We want to buy some. These literati don't know how high the prices are, just to deceive us.

Now, it’s okay. An Geer’s Yuye Wine is going to participate in this hundred-wine banquet, so what’s there to be afraid of? This year we will definitely be able to win back the first wine of this Hundred-wine Banquet. By then, we will use this Yuye Wine It is only sold to military generals, not to literati. If they want to buy it, fine, but pay the price they originally set. It will piss them off to death. "

"Haha. This is good, this is good. He is still the Prince Consort. His mind works very fast. If it's for this, then I don't have to drink this wine." Yuchi Baolin laughed, but he smiled , looking at the jar of Yuye wine, I still licked my tongue. I was really greedy.

Not only Yuchi Baolin, Yuchi Baoqing, Niu Sheng, and Cheng Chumo, they all looked at Li An's jar of jade liquid wine and drooled. They looked so greedy. To be honest, this was something Li An could not understand.

Li An will never understand why some people like drinking so much and regard wine as a hot drink. Li An can drink a little, but he doesn’t like drinking very much. He basically drinks to cope with it, because Li An I think that in fact, no matter how you make it, the taste of this wine is not what Ang Lee likes, including wine.

Looking at the state of drooling from the wine, Li An could never understand it for the rest of his life.

However, this is not an exaggeration. There are indeed many people who love wine. As long as it is good wine, just the smell of it will make saliva flow all over the floor. The reason is probably the innate genes, which are almost difficult to change. Everyone has heard about it when they were children. The allusion of "Kong Rong gave me the pear" shows that when he grew up, Kong Rong was upright and talented, but he was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was rare to see a happy ending.

Kong Rong especially loved drinking. He had a famous saying: "The seats are always full of guests and the wine in the bottle is never empty, so I have no worries" ("Book of the Later Han·Biography of Kong Rong").He often met friends with wine, and it was precisely because he liked wine that it became one of the reasons why he was killed.

Cao Cao believed that drinking was harmful to the country, so he planned to ban alcohol. When Kong Rong heard about it, he immediately wrote a letter to Cao Cao, listing the benefits of drinking and the consequences of banning alcohol, etc. (If he didn’t really love wine, then he would cannot be done).After reading it, Cao Cao wrote a reply to Kong Rong. The letter mentioned the example of ancient people who ruined their country and family due to drinking.After Kong Rong received the reply, he wrote back to Cao Cao. In the letter, he refuted and even ridiculed Cao Cao's reasons one by one.

Kong Rong's words were like a thorn in Cao Cao's heart. Later, Cao Cao instructed his subordinates to falsely accuse Kong Rong of "desiring to plan (plan) evil" and that he had "dissolute talk" with Mi Heng.The crime was Kong Rong's previous remarks about the relationship between parents and children.

In this way, in August of the 13th year of Jian'an, Kong Rong was abandoned and his wife and children were killed at the same time.Although it cannot be concluded that the alcohol ban controversy was the direct cause of Kong Rong's death, it was at least a trigger.

Li An looked at the five people who were so greedy that they were drooling. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have your wine to drink. This first bottle of mine is actually the second crop of wine, which is the best of all the wines." A period of time, but there are still three and four crops to come. Although it is not as good as our second-crop wine, it is much better than the wine you drank before, so wait a little longer and you will have some to drink soon. Now You go and get some dishes, and when the three-cup wine comes out, you can have a good drink."

"That's great. I know Brother An won't let the brothers down. So I'll get the mutton, the second brother will get a chicken, Baolin Baoqing sashimi, and Niu Sheng will get some side dishes. That's right, that's right, My family killed a cow, I'm going to get some more beef."

Cheng Chumo laughed and immediately ordered everyone to get the food.

After Yuchi Baolin heard this, he immediately showed a wicked smile: "It's really unlucky to be your old Cheng family's cow. He always gets thrown to death inexplicably."

"Haha!" Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang both laughed, but they didn't hide it at all: "My father did it, but isn't it the same with your Yuchi family? Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Come on, this wine is coming." Then, the five people nodded immediately and happily ran out of the brewery to get food.

When the five people came back, each of them actually made a dish, including mutton, beef, sashimi, vinegar, cherries, and the third crop of wine also arrived. A total of seven people drank it in Li An's brewing yard. stand up.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all five guys who claimed to be able to drink without getting drunk were all drunk. Wei Wangning looked at the five people lying at the table with some horror: "Lang Jun, what's going on? Why can't you drink?" One kilogram will pour it all down." Because she could drink one or two kilograms of wine.

"Haha!" Li An laughed: "Ning'er, it's very dangerous for you to think like this. You think my Yuye wine is the kind of wine that only has more than ten degrees of alcohol on the market. Don't be kidding, Yuye wine The alcohol content is at least 45 degrees, otherwise it wouldn’t be so pure. These guys are drinking my jade liquid wine with more than ten degrees of alcohol content. It’s wrong not to drink it.”

"45 degrees." Wei Wangcheng put all the beef into a piece of Hu Pancake with chopsticks and said, "That is really too strong. There should be no stronger wine than Yuye Liquor in the entire Tang Dynasty."

After saying that, he took a bite of the rolled pancake, and Li An said speechlessly: "There should be no one in Chang'an who can eat better than you. But fortunately, the number one drink of the Hundred Days Banquet is still there. There is a reward of ten thousand taels of gold.

With these ten thousand taels of gold, I can buy you a head and raise it for food. "

"Woo. Woo. Woo!" Wei Wangcheng said a few words vaguely. Li An didn't know what he was going to say, so he patted Wei Wangning's head lovingly.
