Happy Tycoon

"Good wine!" Yang Jing couldn't help but praise!

　　 wine fragrance, wine fragrance. But no one knows exactly what the smell of this wine should be.

　　 Some people say that Maoxiang wine has a good aroma, while others say that it is a strong-flavor wine that smells good. But today Yang Jing smelled this, and he finally understood what the real smell of wine should be.

　　 In terms of a long history, Yanjing’s Erguotou is far behind wines such as Moutai, Wuliangye, Jiannanchun, and Fenjiu, but Erguotou's position in the Chinese liquor industry is very important.

　　 When the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the capital of Zhongdu, which is now Yanjing, was established. From that time on, the production of shochu began in Yanjing city. But at that time, because of the backward production process, the brewed wine was not delicious.

　　 Until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the shochu workshop in Yanjing City carried out technological reforms in order to improve the quality of shochu. Each time these shochu workshops burn a pot of wine, the wine that begins to flow out is called "guotou". The concentration of this wine is relatively high, reaching 75 degrees or more, and the amount is small, accounting for about 10% of the total, and then the concentration continues to decline. The wine is stopped at around 25 degrees, and the outflow is called "Jiu Shao Zi", also called "Jiu Shao Zi", and "Jiu Shao Zi" cannot be drunk.

When steaming wine, it is necessary to distill the distilled alcohol into the "liquor head" which is cooled by the cold water in the tin pot for the first time and the "liquor head" which is cooled by the cold water in the tin pot for the third time. "The tail" proposed to do other treatments, because the cooled wine in the first and third pots contains a variety of low-boiling substances and has a mixed taste, so the shochu workshop only picks the mellow-flavored wine that has been changed into the tin pot for the second time. The wine that flows out from the cooling of cold water is named "Erguotou".

　　 is the so-called "cutting the head, removing the tail and taking the middle section", which sums up the firing process of Erguotou in one sentence.

　　 There is an old saying in North China that "dumplings are wine, and the more you drink, the more you get." The wine in this old saying refers to Erguotou.

　　 It’s just that the new Erguotou wine that has just been brewed has a spicy taste, not mellow, and can’t be drunk. Generally, it needs to be stored for a period of time to let it mature naturally, so that the wine will be soft, mellow, and taste harmonious. And what affects the storage effect is not only the year, but also the storage container and storage environment.

Generally speaking, the best containers for cellaring are those made of ceramics, because the ceramic walls are full of pores, which on the one hand ensures that the wine will not leak out, and on the other hand, it ensures that the wine and the external environment can interact with each other. effect. And because Erguotou wine is produced in Yanjing, where the four seasons are distinct, the storage environment is affected by the changes in temperature throughout the year. Yanjing is very hot in summer and very cold in winter. Therefore, during the storage process of the wine, it will be affected by too many external influences during the aging process, especially the influence of temperature and humidity, which makes the wine change drastically. Therefore, the storage environment has a great influence on the quality of Erguotou wine.

Generally speaking, cave storage is the best way to store wine, because the cave is constant temperature and humidity, and the old cave has a rare natural microbial group. In this state, the wine is aged and matured. It is done slowly and evenly, and some impurities and harmful substances are released and volatilized.

However, there are basically no mountains near the main producing area of ​​Erguotou in Yanjing. Dongzang has become a very extravagant thing for Erguotou Liquor, so Erguotou Liquor has basically been collected from the day it was born. Way to store it.

　　 Chengzi’s old house is located on the bank of the Huai River, and his wine cellar is on the bank of the river, and the humidity can be guaranteed. So after being buried for more than sixty years, once these wine jars are opened, the taste is not ordinary, it is definitely the aroma of aged wine.

　　 The most important thing is that these wines were brewed by the ancestors of adults. At that time, the wines were all pure grain wines, unlike most modern liquors below 38 degrees, which are blended.

The wine brewed from this kind of pure grain is more fragrant, so once this jar of wine is opened, if the overflowing aroma of the wine is smelled by the old drunks, it is estimated that the old drunks will immediately become incarnations. The hungry wolf of the little white rabbit...

　　 Even people like Yang Jing who are not very addicted to alcohol can't wait to pour a glass after smelling the aroma of this wine.

　　 This taste is really too attractive to the wine bug in the stomach.

　　 Wang Jiazan also looked drunk. Obviously, this guy couldn't take it anymore.

　　 "Xiao Yang, are you satisfied with this wine?" Bi Mu asked with a smile. Obviously, Yang Jing's expression gave Bi Mu full of confidence.

　　 "Auntie, to say something that is not exaggerated, just take the taste of this wine, this wine is terrific!" For such a good wine, Yang Jing would naturally not be stingy with his praise.

　　 Father Bi took two small glasses and a small wine grape, raised a grape wine from the inside, carefully poured it into the two glasses, the two glasses were about three or two.

Under the light, Yang Jing clearly saw that when the wine was poured from the wine grapes into the glass, it was all drawn, and the wine was no longer transparent and clear, but appeared similar to amber. Pale yellow. It is as if the wine poured from the wine grapes is not white wine, but honey.

　　 Yang Jing picked up the wine glass and shook it lightly, and examined it carefully. As the book said, this phenomenon of hanging the glass of old wine is very serious.

　　 put it under the nose and smelled it slightly, the mellow taste became stronger.

　　 Wang Jiazan over there has already taken a sip and let out a sigh of contentment on his face.

Yang Jing also took a sip. The mellow liquor immediately left his mouth fragrant. When the liquor entered the stomach along the esophagus, a burst of heat burst out from the stomach. It was warm but warm. I didn't panic at all, it really is the taste that the top cellared old wine can have.

　　 "Good wine!" Yang Jing couldn't help but praised it again. In contrast, Yang Jing even felt that the two bottles of five-star Moutai that were more than 30 years old from Jiang Bin were not as good as this old jar of wine in terms of taste.

After all, this is an old wine that has been cellared for more than sixty years. After such a long period of cellaring, the taste of this highly pure grain wine with a degree of 60 degrees is simply amazing. It is definitely not comparable to famous wines such as Moutai and Wuliangye. Got it.

　　 It is said that the old wine that has been cellared for so many years should have a little peculiar smell, and it is best to drink this old wine with new wine to give it the best taste. But this jar of old wine obviously has no peculiar smell at all, and some only have a mellow aftertaste, and obviously this jar of old wine does not need to be drunk, so it tastes more mellow when you drink it directly.

　　 The most important thing is that although this jar of old wine has been cellared for more than sixty years, its degree should not be reduced much, and it should still be kept at about sixty degrees.

　　 This is enough to show that Chengzi's ancestors have very high cellaring skills!

　　 Yang Jing calmly wiped the wine at the corner of his mouth with his left hand, and the holy ring immediately gave an accurate identification answer.

　　 "Erguotou wine, 1952, Bi Qinghai, Bi Yuanze."

　　 Now Yang Jing is completely relieved. Judging from the vintage and the name of the brewer, this is obviously the wine made by Bi Fucheng's grandfather and grandfather. No matter who made it, this jar of wine was indeed made in the 1950s and has been cellared for 66 years.

　　 "Uncle and aunt, can we just go and see those old wines now?" Yang Jing raised her neck and drank the remaining less than one or two old wines in the cup, and then directly asked Bifu and Bimu.

　　 Yang Jing really doesn't want to miss such a good wine. The price doesn't matter whatsoever, it is the right thing to hug these wines in his arms!

　　 And to be honest, this kind of wine that has been in the cellar for sixty-six years only sells for 200,000 yuan per jar and two catties. This price is definitely a very conscientious price, even an ultra-low price.

In 1953, the "Wheel Five-Star" Moutai produced by the State-owned Renhuai Distillery in Maotai Town was sold at a price of 1.5 million yuan per bottle, and a bottle of Moutai, which was produced in 1956, was sold in a very well-preserved earthenware vase. A high price of 1.84 million. As for the bottle of Lai Mao wine produced in 1935, it set a record of 10.7 million Chinese liquor auctions!

To be honest, this jar of wine may not be as good as the bottle of Laimao, but it is definitely not much worse. After all, this jar of wine has two catties. Although it may be less than two catties now, it is still in the cellar for 66 years. Old wine.

　　 And the Erguotou wine more than sixty years ago, the quality is not much worse than that of Moutai, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is also a pure grain wine.

　　 Just like this, a jar of old wine can only sell for 200,000 yuan, which is simply a leak!

　　 When Father Bi and Mother Bi heard this, smiles appeared on their faces. Father Bi said, "Yes, I can take you there now."

　　 A group of people came out of Chengzi's house and walked out along the alley. After walking for two minutes, they came to the embankment on the north side of the village.

　　 A small road has been built on the Huai River embankment, and some vehicles are running happily on the small road. To the east of the embankment is the Huai River, a tributary of the Chaobai River, but because a Huairou Reservoir was built upstream, there is not much water in the Huai River.

　　 Chengzi’s ancestral home is on the west side of the Dike Road. In fact, the grandfather who was an adult at the time built the wine shop here is also very good. Below the embankment is the Huaihe River. There was no Huairou Reservoir at that time. So the Huaihe River had enough water and the water quality was also very good at that time. Yanshan, you arrive here not far from the mountain, the water quality is adequate, and it is very good for making wine.

　　 Within five minutes of walking along the Dike Road, I came to a ruin that no longer looked like a house. This is the ancestral home of Cheng Zi's family.

　　 Seven or eight elders were guarding the ruins. Cheng Zi said to two men in their forties: "Uncle, uncle, I will bring friends to see those old wines."

　　 The oldest middle-aged man nodded, reached out his hand and turned on a switch, and several high-power halogen lamps instantly illuminated the surrounding area...

　　PS: I would like to thank you for the reward of 500 for "Glasses and Glasses" and 100 for the reward of "Icy Octave".
