Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 67 Plum Blossom Wine

Su Kang's drinking capacity is not good, and he is self-aware. Although he drinks every day, he only has one drink at lunch and dinner and savors it slowly. When he is really greedy, he adds one more drink at dinner, and he is drunk anyway. Just sleep.

After hearing this, Zhiruo laughed and said, "Mr. Su is a wise man. Do you really think that he only thinks about eating and drinking?" In just half a month, Mingze has already admired Su Kang's talent, and even Minghui is looking forward to it. There is an assessment every seven days, because if he does well, Su Kang will explain a chapter of "Military Chronicles" to their brothers.

"Military Chronicles" was written by Shi Shuo, the most famous general in the Six Kingdoms era more than 300 years ago. It is also the only book on the art of war in this time and space. It is said that not many books have been handed down. Don't forget to read it if you don't want to. I found a book from the pile of old books.

Ruchun said sarcastically: "Who asked him to be kicked out of the academy because of his greedy mouth?" If his mind was not full of food and drink, how could such a thing happen?But old man Su Kang still did his duty in teaching the two young masters in their Meizhuang. Could it be that the food here is delicious and he restrained himself because he was afraid of being driven away?Also, the cooking skills of the cook Aunt Bai are good. The eldest girl also gives Aunt Bai a new recipe every few days. Although they are not expensive dishes, they are more novel and delicious. For example, the past two days The "beggar's chicken" he made made Su Kang almost swallow the chicken bones. He kept asking the girl about the origin of the "beggar's chicken", which was more serious than the second young master listening to the story about the art of war.

Zhiruo shook his head: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Rumors are often untrustworthy." Even if "seeing", sometimes it is still a trap.

Now that the distillation and purification equipment was successful, Zhiruo asked Xu Lin to distill all the wine that Uncle Qiang had bought from outside before storing it back in the cellar.Xu Lin was the youngest steward they bought from the market last time. He was sold as an official slave because of his master's family's crimes.Xu Lin originally had a fiancée who was the personal maid of his original mistress. She couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide when her old master's house was ransacked. Therefore, Xu Lin, who was an orphan, is still alone to this day.

Coincidentally, Xu Lin had managed the dowry winery for his mistress for many years when he was the second housekeeper of his old master's house. He was very familiar with the various matters and processes of the winery, and even had experience in wine tasting, so After Uncle Qi and Uncle Qiang inspected him, they asked him to take two young men to take charge of the affairs of the wine cellar.

Xu Lin is also a meticulous person. He knew that after Zhiruo planned to use these wines as base wine and then make other wines, he numbered each jar of wine and recorded detailed information such as variety, winery from which it was produced, purchase time, distillation time, etc. For future comparison.At the same time, he took the two boys and started trying to make wine.Perhaps he had seen a lot in the past and developed a very sensitive sense of smell and taste for wine. After several experiments, he really succeeded in pouring wine, and the wine he brewed was even better than several kinds of wine bought from outside.

Zhiruo asked Xu Lin to pick out fifteen jars of the best-tasting wine after distillation, and personally took Ruchun and Rudong to brew three kinds of wine in the basement of Guanmeiyuan: hawthorn wine, apple wine, and plum blossom wine. .Among them, plum blossom wine is the most complex. The preparation method and formula were obtained from ancient books by Zhiruo and his roommate in modern times. Legend has it that it was the secret recipe of plum blossom wine used by the emperor in the Song Dynasty.Back in France, Zhiruo had brewed plum blossom wine many times according to the recipe. The resulting wine was clear and transparent in color and fragrant. In addition to the mellow aroma of the wine, there was also a subtle fragrance of plum blossoms, which was soft and sweet in the mouth. Endless aftertaste.

In fact, there are two ways to make this royal plum blossom wine. One is brewed with snow water. It has low alcohol content and little staying power. It is cold, sweet and refreshing. It is especially suitable for women or men who are not good at drinking. It can be used to nourish the face and body. All excellent.

When it snowed a few days ago for the first time this year, Rudong took a few maids to collect a lot of snow from plum blossoms. Zhiruo had already brewed five small jars of snow-soaked plum blossom wine and buried it in the backyard of Guanmei Courtyard. Under the two plum blossom trees.

Nowadays, the plum blossom wine brewed with rice wine has a higher alcohol content and a more mellow taste. It is prepared for drunkards and drunkards like the old people in Banshan.Ruchun and his wife saw such a complicated procedure in front of them, but their girl didn't have to watch the secret recipe to operate it. Instead, she was skillful and comfortable. They were filled with admiration but also felt extremely distressed.In the past, the princess always said that no matter what others thought, she liked to see her precious daughter carefree and relaxed.They, the maids, also thought, since a girl has a strong natal family, a loving mother-in-law, and a husband-in-law, why do they need to worry about it?But now, the girl not only has to run the house, but also has to worry about a lot of things. She even has to do things like making wine herself.

Zhiruo focused on making wine, recalling the excitement when he and his roommate opened the first jar of plum blossom wine and the aroma of wine filling the room. Who would have noticed the pity and pity in Ruchun's eyes? Feeling distressed?But even if he saw her, he could only smile helplessly and pass by. The self in the previous life was simply "stupid" because of being spoiled, right?Her mother, Princess Qianxin, believed that she, the "beautiful girl of heaven," was innocent, simple and carefree, but she didn't know that no matter how powerful her mother's family was or how generous the dowry was, they could not withstand the torment of ignorance and cowardice.

The three masters and servants came out of the basement and went back to the study upstairs. They saw Ruqiu asking the magpie at the door: "Where did the girl go? Did she leave Zhuangzi?"

Zhiruo laughed coldly and said, "What? Ruqiu, do you have anything to do with me? How about those little maids? Is Zhixuan's white rabbit cloak ready?"

Ruqiu suddenly turned around, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly forced herself to calm down: "Girl...girl, the third girl's cloak will be obtained soon. Xilian and the others are ingenious and learn quickly. The slave girl thinks that it doesn't take three In a few months, the four of them will be able to take charge of the sewing room independently, and the slaves can return to serve the girl." Except for Shi Xiaoyu, who changed her name to Xiyu, the new batch of maids were all named after flowers. For example, Xilian, Xiju, Xitao, and Xikui in the sewing room.Among the four, 13-year-old Xi Lian is the oldest and the best actress.

Zhiruo nodded: "As long as they use it, don't hide it, teach them all the unique skills. If you're fine, you'd better watch them more and teach them more." As for returning to her, Humph, she never promised.

"Girl," seeing Zhiruo turning around and preparing to enter the house, Ruqiu said quickly, "silk threads are used up quickly. I'd better go to the city tomorrow, and some colors are running out. Also, I want to buy some embroidery threads. The manuscript is for Xi Lian and the others, especially Xitao and Xukui, to practice more and embroider some more silk handkerchiefs and purses as a spare." The sewing rooms of wealthy people will always have some small things such as purses, for example, during the New Year. At that time, the master rewarded the slaves inside and outside the house, mostly in his purse.
