Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 55: 0 cups are not drunk, master brewer

　　After lunch, Li Zexuan remembered that in the morning Han Yuxi wanted to let herself taste the newly brewed fruit wine, but was interrupted by Li Chengqian and Yan Shaoning.

　　 Thinking of this, Li Zexuan went to Mingyuexuan to find Han Yuxi.

　　"Master, are you here?" Han Yuxi said with joy.

　　 "Well, isn't this being interrupted when I was preparing to taste the new wine in the morning? I came here to taste it in the afternoon." Li Zexuan nodded.

　　 "Sit down here, Master, Yuxi will pour you wine."

　　Li Zexuan smiled and nodded, Han Yuxi walked into the back room to get the wine.

　　 After a while, I saw Han Yuxi holding a wine gourd and coming out with a wine glass.

　　 "Master, you taste it." Han Yuxi poured a glass of wine and handed it over.

　　 Li Zexuan took the wine glass and sniffed it lightly, a mellow scent of wild fruits penetrated into his nostrils, making him feel as if he was in the middle of the fields and mountains. Li Zexuan took a sip, sweet and mellow, even though he drank it once in Hanjiazhuang last time, he still had an amazing feeling when he drank it again.

　　 "Yu Xi, who did you learn the craftsmanship from? I think many of the brewers in the city don't make it as good as you."

　　 Li Zexuan drank the fruit wine and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

　　 Hearing Li Zexuan’s praise, Han Yuxi smiled and said, “Master has passed the award, how can Yuxi’s craftsmanship be compared to the master brewers in the city. This brewing craft was taught to me by my mother. My father has always loved it. Drink the wine made by my mother, and then my mother passed away, so I will make wine for my father."

　　 I didn’t expect that Yuxi’s mother was still a master brewer. Li Zexuan continued to ask: "Then Yuxi, besides making fruit wine, will you make other wines?"

　　Han Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes, my mother also taught me white wine and sake, including Yinzhou Fushui, Wucheng Ruoxia, Hezhong Sangluo, Yuanzhou Yichun, Xingyang Tukuchun, Fuping Stone Dongchun, Jiannan Burning Spring, Hedong Dry and Grape, Lingnan Yunxi Boluo, Yicheng Jiulian, Xunyang Huanshui, Qidilu Wine, etc."

　　 Han Yuxi smashed his fingers and brought the wines he could brew one by one.

　　 Li Zexuan was stunned, is this okay?

　　"Uh, Yuxi, how can your mother brew so many kinds of wine?"

　　 Han Yuxi thought for a while, and said: "I heard my mother say that my grandfather Du Daoling was the most famous brewing master in the former Sui Dynasty before his death. Even my dynasty Wei Xuancheng and Wei Shangshu praised his old man's brewing skills. I My mother's brewing skills are all learned from my grandfather."

　　 Li Zexuan wondered: "Who is Wei Xuancheng? Does he have a lot of research on winemaking?"

　　 Han Yuxi's eyes widened, and she couldn't say anything: "Master, you don't even know Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Wei Zheng, do you?"

　　? Wei Xuancheng turned out to be Wei Zheng. Li Zexuan had heard that Wei Zheng was not only a direct minister, but also a master brewer. He didn't expect that Han Yuxi's grandfather's winemaking skills were even better than Wei Zheng. It was really amazing.

　　 "Ahem, Wei Xuancheng and Wei Shangshu don’t know anyone, I’m just testing you."

　　 Li Zexuan casually said nonsense, regardless of whether Han Yuxi believed it or not, he continued to ask: "Then Yuxi, why didn't you make liquor and sell it before?"

　　 Han Yuxi sadly said: "Hanjiazhuang has not enough food left over these years, so there is no excess food to make wine."

　　 Li Zexuan patted his head.

　　 "Yu Xi, do you know why I want to buy the mountain fruit wine from Hanjiazhuang at a high price?"

　　 Han Yuxi gratefully said: "Yu Xi knows that the young master is to help our Hanjiazhuang farmers. Those fruit wines are actually not worth that much money."

　　 Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Although I have the meaning of helping Hanjiazhuang, it's not all because of this. When I was in Longhushan, I saw my master often drink a brightly colored wine.

　　 My master said that it was a blended wine invented by the people on the food side. After drinking it a few times, my master felt that the taste was very special, so I figured out the recipe and brewed it myself.

　　 There is a very important ingredient in this recipe, which is mountain fruit wine. The quality of the mountain fruit wine made by Yuxi can be regarded as the top quality in the fruit wine, and it is the most ideal raw material to configure this mixed wine.

　　 That’s why I bought your mountain fruit wine at a high price, thinking that after the purchase, I will find a master brewer to blend that blended wine, and it will definitely sell well in the future. "

　　 Speaking of what she is best at, Han Yuxi was also very interested and curious: "Master, what is the name of this wine? Is it really that good?"

　　" I heard my master say that this is called a cocktail, and it is usually made temporarily while drinking. As for whether it tastes good or not, I don’t know how to taste wine, I don’t know. But my master has tasted all the fine wines in the world. I have a soft spot for this cocktail, and I think it should taste good." Li Zexuan continued to use Master as a shield.

　　 That’s right, Li Zexuan wanted to make a cocktail. Li Zexuan and his uncle watched a movie about a plane crash in his previous life, but the specific name was forgotten. There was a black captain who wanted to drink a cocktail on the plane, but when he didn't, he just added wine to the juice as a cocktail.

　　 As a result, his uncle suddenly remembered the plot one day when he was eating at his house, so he poured an equal amount of Huiyuan 100% orange juice into half a glass of whiskey, and it turned out that his uncle was drinking it well.

　　 Later, when he was curious, he went to the Internet to find out how to make cocktails. Cocktails usually use rum, tequila, vodka, and whiskey as the base alcohol, and they are paired with juice, egg white, milk, sugar, etc. Other auxiliary materials are a kind of beverage made by stirring or shaking. Finally, lemon slices, fruits or mint leaves can be used as decorations.

　　Spirits can be obtained by distilling the existing liquor in the Tang Dynasty, and the fruit juice can be directly replaced with the fruit wine brewed by Han Yuxi, the effect should be better. After mixing, add some ice cubes to it. In the hot summer, Li Zexuan believes that no one with good wine can resist this temptation.

　　 As for how to obtain ice cubes, Li Zexuan said that such a simple question is known to any traveler. But you have to find a way to get the old man to buy a saltpeter mine first, otherwise the price of saltpeter will definitely be expensive after everyone reacts.

　　 When the time comes, think about a group of Chinese people, drinking cocktails, this scene, thinking about it is quite interesting!

　　 Han Yuxi listened to Li Zexuan's explanation of the cocktail so well, she couldn't help but eager to try: "Then master, can you let Yuxi try to make this cocktail?"

　　 Li Zexuan was a little embarrassed, not because he was unwilling, but because he was reluctant to let Han Yuxi mix wine, she would definitely try to taste a lot of wine, he was afraid that Han Yuxi would get drunk.

　　 Han Yuxi saw that the young master was embarrassed, thinking that the young master did not want to teach him this formula, and a trace of sadness and sadness flashed in his eyes. Hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Master, it is Yu Xi who was rash."

　　 Li Zexuan saw her face sad, and I don’t know where she misunderstood~ IndoMTL.com~ quickly explained: "Yu Xi, don’t get me wrong, I’m not unwilling to let you try. I’m just worried about tasting when you mix drinks. Too much alcohol makes him drunk."

　　 Han Yuxi heard that she had misunderstood, her face turned from sadness to joy, and she was embarrassed to say: "Master, you don't have to worry about this. Yuxi has a special physique. Since I was young, I will never get drunk no matter how much alcohol I drink. My father and I don’t know what’s going on."

　　 Li Zexuan was shocked and dumbfounded, is there such a thing? He had also seen this on the Internet in his previous life. There was a kind of person who was born to be not drunk for a thousand cups, and it was fine to drink seven or eight catties of white wine.

　　 "Uh, Yu Xi, what you said is true?" Li Zexuan still couldn't believe it.

　　"Of course it is true. You can ask my father if you don’t believe me."

　　"Uh, uh, no, I believe it, I believe it. Then it’s okay. It just so happens that Yuxi, you are also a master brewer. I will copy the recipe to you later. As for the ratio of the various ingredients, you slowly Try.

　　 After you go back to Hanjiazhuang this time, tell your father that when I’m done with some things, you will come to Changan to help me mix the wine. I represent my father is trying to hire you as our bartender in Drunken House. How about the monthly salary? "

　　 Teaching this formula to Han Yuxi is more reassuring than teaching others. Li Zexuan really did not expect this event to go so smoothly.

　　 Han Yuxi was very surprised when she heard this. She did not expect that she could finally help the young master, and quickly said: "Master, you have helped us so much at Hanjiazhuang. How can Yuxi ask for money? Can help the young master make a drink? Yuxi has already Very happy."

　　 Li Zexuan insisted: "This month's salary is what you deserve. You have to. If you don't, I won't help Hanjiazhuang anymore."

　　 Han Yuxi can only nod in embarrassment.
