Chapter 293
"Come on, Brother Eleven, isn't it particularly mellow when you smell this smell? This is my original Erguotou wine. It is mellow and strong. I can only drink a little, and I will get drunk if I have too much..."
Wu Haogu diligently poured a small bowl of "Erguotou" for Pan Xiao'an, Gao Qiu and Zhao Zhongge each, and poured a small bowl for himself.
This "Erguotou" wine is the white wine distilled by Wu Haogu at his home. It is a distilled wine that is "steamed" from a wine steamer transformed from a dew steamer used in the alchemy room.
The reason why it is named "Erguotou" is because the white wine we drink now is the white wine condensed when adding cold water to the condensed "cold water pot" for the second time, and the white wine condensed from the first pot of cold water is too strong, and the white wine condensed from the third pot of cold water is too light. Only the second pot of cold water condensed from the middle is just right, so it is called "Erguotou" by Wu Haogu.
After inviting Pan Xiao'an out of the palace, several people went straight to Fengle Tower opposite Donghua Gate. They asked for a private room on the third floor of Fengle Middle Tower and ordered a table of Kaifeng dishes, but they did not ask for wine or called the singer. Only the golden-haired girl, the Arhat maid, was serving him.
The Luohan maid brought a silver wine pot with her very exquisite workmanship, which contained a pot of "Erguotou" wine that had just been distilled.
"Why are there so fewer ones?"
"Is this wine? How do you look as clear as water?"
"It's wine, it smells so mellow."
Pan Xiao'an, Gao Qiu and Zhao Zhongge are both good wine lovers and have drunk dozens of fine wines, but none of them have seen this kind of wine that is as strong as clear water and smells it.
"Brother Zhong (Brother Zhong is Zhao Zhong'er's nickname, his big name is Zhao Chang, whose courtesy name is Yuanyi)," Wu Haogu smiled and said to Brother Zhao, who was holding a wine bowl and frowned at the shallower Erguotou, "The wine is so powerful. If you are drunk, no one can carry it."
"Drunk? Will I be drunk?" Brother Zhao Zhong rolled his eyelids, picked up the wine bowl and felt stuffy, and then he coughed suddenly. "Cough cough cough... so spicy! This wine is so fragrant and so spicy!"
The quality of this "Erguotou" wine produced by Wu Haogu at home is not high. Although the color of the wine is clear and transparent, there is still a lot of acetaldehyde inside, so it is very spicy and needs to be cooked before it is really delicious.
"Brother Zhong, you have drunk too much, you can only take this wine in small sips." Wu Haogu picked up his wine bowl, took a sip, and then looked at Gao Qiu and Daguan Ren Pan again.
Gao and Pan also learned how to be good at martial arts. They picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Their tongue buds were pricked by a strong spicy feeling, and then there was an extremely rich aroma and sweetness. The wine and spicy feeling flowed into their throats, leaving only endless aftertaste and fragrance in their mouths.
"Good wine!"
While Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an were still savoring, Brother Zhao Zhong was already shouting: "Another bowl!"
Wu Haogu nodded at the Arhat maid, and the little girl quickly stepped forward and picked up the wine pot, carefully poured wine for Brother Zhao Zhong, Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an. She took a small step back to the side.
Brother Zhao Zhong was bored again, and then shouted loudly for wine again. The Luohan maid poured him another glass, but he drank it clean again.
After three glasses of strong wine, one of Zhong Ge'er's dark face had already shined red. It was obvious that alcohol was working!
Although he usually drinks well, he used to drink low-alcohol wine. Where did he drink Erguotou at least 50 degrees? After three cups, he felt slightly drunk.
Pan Xiao'an sipped in small sips, took a sip of wine and picked up a chopstick dish, but his eyes looked at Wu Haogu with a little strange. I guess there must be a big question mark in his heart: Does Wu Haogu have magic or what? How can he always make some unexpected good things?
Gao Qiu looked surprised. He was a job in the Duan Palace. Is there any good wine in the royal palace? Duan Palace is a prince who is deeply favored by the Queen Mother. There are all good wines in the palace, and Gao Qiu secretly drank all good wines in the Duan Palace... but he has never drunk the same mellow and spicy wine as this "Erguotou".
As senior alcoholics, Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu quickly realized the value of "Erguotou". Although this wine tastes spicy, it has a rich taste and is very "satisfactory" after drinking it, which can give alcoholics the strongest stimulation. I am afraid that after drinking this wine, alcoholics who are really addicted to alcoholics will feel light and tasteless after drinking the wine on the market...
The business-minded official Pan, who is not very smart, has finished tasting wine. Zhan Yan asked with a smile: "Dalang, is this wine really brewed by you?"
The wines in the Song Dynasty were sold exclusively. Only wine shops and hotels licensed by the government could go to the official wine shop to buy wine for wine making. Private wine making is a serious crime. After reaching a certain amount, you even have to "tat the spine of a stick and match the prison city 500 miles away."
However, no one will pursue the small amount of private brews from officials and nobles.
Wu Haogu knew that he was a little sure of things, "The only one in the world is this wine... Eleventh Brother, what do you think?"
"Things are good things," Pan Xiao'an said thinking, "I don't know if it's easy?"
"It's very easy to get, and it's not expensive." Wu Haogu smiled, "If Brother Eleven wants it, I should serve you with the secret recipe of 'Erguotou' wine with both hands."
Put your hands on it? Are you that good?
Pan Xiao'an raised his eyebrows, not saying anything, as if he was waiting for Wu Haogu to open the conditions.
Seeing the expression of Grand Official Pan, Wu Haogu just folded three fingers: "Brother Eleven, I also know that your character will not benefit others in vain, so I have three unhappy requests."
Pan Xiao'an looked at the increasingly cunning Wu Dalang and thought to himself: Could this kid be really inspired by the Immortal Shidi? Not only are there always some weird good things and good ideas from Guli, but they can also turn these good things and good ideas into real copper coins.
I don’t know what he wants to exchange for this good wine from himself this time?
Wu Haogu smiled and said: "First, the Erguotou transaction is jointly operated by our two companies, and each pays five yuan in total; second, Erguotou wine must first be brewed in Jiehe Market in the future, and it will only be brewed in Kaifeng Prefecture three years later..."
Not high requirements!
Pan Xiao'an heard it a little confused, and looked at Wu Haogu with bright eyes, waiting for him to say the third condition.
"Third," Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "I have a confidante and want to give her a concubine."
"What a secret?" Pan Xiao'an was stunned and stunned, "Dalang, do you want to... take a concubine?"
It’s not surprising that Wu Haogu has a confidante. Now one of Christie’s main businesses is the picture album of “The Courtesan”... It would be strange if there is no confidante! Moreover, Christie’s’s singing of the house manager is still a woman like Mo Madam. I wonder how many men want to take her home!
In addition, Wu Haogu also has a beautiful apprentice Du Wenyu, who may have to receive it in the room sooner or later.
But Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian have not yet officially celebrated. Is it necessary to be so anxious?
"Who is she?" Pan Xiao'an asked, "Is it Madam Mo... or Du Wenyu?"
"None are not." Wu Haogu replied.
These two have not yet arrived!
“That’s…”
"It's Ximen Qing."
"who?"
"Ximen Qing."
"Which Ximen Qing?"
"It's Ximen Qing who went north to Liao Kingdom with me!"
"Is it him?" Pan Xiao'an widened his eyes, "Isn't he a man?"
Pan Xiao'an had never met Ximen Qing, but he heard Pan Qiaolian and Xiaopinger mention this person, so he always thought that Ximen Qing was a man.
Wu Haogu wanted to take a concubine, but Mr. Pan actually had no different opinions on men. With power and money, he would naturally be lustful! Otherwise, there must be something wrong with lust... Of course, it also includes good male sex! It is not the year of the rise of Neo-Confucianism, so the Song people are not disgusted with male style and male sex.
Even if Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing have "deep brotherly love", Mr. Pan did not think anything was wrong.
But the problem is to take a man as his concubine...
"It's true," Wu Haogu sighed and confessed, "Ximen Qing is a chivalrous woman... she has always been dressed as a man and walked around the world."
"Hisan...heroine?" Pan Xiao'an looked at Wu Haogu and thought to himself: You are really good at playing! You already have talented girls, geniuses, and the amateur girls are not satisfied, and he actually hooked up with another chivalrous girl!
Wu Haogu glanced at Brother Zhao Zhong who was still drinking glasses, and coughed: "Brother Zhong!"
"Oh." Brother Zhao Zhong didn't know how much he drank, his face turned red and his tongue was a little big, but he could still speak, "Pan, Master Pan doesn't know... This, Wu Dalang can make so many contributions, all because of Ximen Qing. So, he can't live without Ximen Qing..."
What does this mean?
Pan Xiao'an was confused when he heard this, Wu Haogu had to explain himself: "The Ximen family was originally a retainer of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou, and the predecessor was the Youzhou Ya generals. Now there are also divisions in the Liao Kingdom. In the North West Men family, the North Murong family, and the Zhao, Ma, and Liu San families in the Yan family, all have righteous men who are interested in our dynasty. Yanggu Nanximen are their spies in our dynasty... That's why Ma Liangsi met his younger brother and had the current situation."
"Yes, yes, yes!" said Zhao Zhongge, "Wu Dalang now has one, and Ximen Qing also has one, so no one should give the status of a concubine!"
