Chapter 525 Wine Tasting
Regarding the establishment of the sect, Wu Lai did not reply to Princess Zi Ning, and Princess Zi Ning did not come to ask. Princess Zi Ning knew that if Wu Lai made a decision, she would definitely tell Han Xue.
Han Xue didn't seem to care about sect affairs. She only knew that Wu Lai had decided and she supported it unconditionally.
In the following days, Wu Lai took out the top-quality Biyuanchun wine he brewed and invited the emperor to taste the wine together. The emperor was naturally flattered.
"Master Immortal, what kind of wine is this? It smells so good!" The emperor asked in surprise when he smelled the strong aroma of wine. In the emperor's opinion, even the royal wine in the royal cellar was far inferior to the wine in Wu Lai's hand.
Wu Lai smiled and said: "This is Bi Yuanchun, the emperor must have heard of it."
"Bi Yuanchun of Nagano Castle!" the emperor exclaimed.
"Exactly." Wu Lai nodded.
The emperor said doubtfully: "I have drunk Biyuanchun wine, but it doesn't seem so fragrant." Every year, Yuebinlou pays tribute to some Biyuanchun wine to the royal family, so the emperor drank Biyuanchun wine.
Wu Lai said proudly: "I brewed this with my own hands. Last year, I exchanged brewing methods with the shopkeeper Li Gui of Yuebin Building in Nagano Castle and learned the brewing method of Bi Yuanchun. The wine I brewed,
Much better than what they brew naturally.”
The emperor flattered him and said, "That's right, the magic power of the immortal masters is boundless, so naturally they can't compare with the immortal masters." But he thought to himself: Immortals are different from mortals. They make their own wine, but the wine they brew can indeed be called fairy wine.
This flattery was very useful to Wu Lai. Wu Lai took out dozens of jars of wine and said: "These wines can be called the best Bi Yuanchun, and they are given to you, the emperor. However, you have to give me a few jars of royal wine.
Although your imperial wine is a bit inferior to my Bi Yuanchun, it still tastes good."
"That's no problem." The emperor immediately ordered Wang Gonggong to get the royal wine. After getting the royal wine, Wu Lai put it into the Book of Heaven.
The next day, Wu Lai took out his collection of Maotai liquor and invited the emperor to taste the wine together.
"Master Xian, this kind of wine——" The emperor asked suspiciously when he smelled the peculiar aroma of Moutai.
Wu Lai introduced: "This wine is called Maotai. I exchanged the brewing method of this wine for the brewing method of Biyuanchun. Your Majesty, please taste it."
The emperor took a sip of Maotai wine, and his face showed a look of shock. Then he took another sip, and after a long time he praised: "Good wine, good wine! This wine can only be found in heaven, and how many times can it be found in this world?"
Taste?" Moreover, looking at his expression, he seemed to have endless aftertaste.
Wu Lai said: "This kind of wine is very precious, and I don't have much in stock, but it's no problem to give a few jars to the emperor." In fact, he had a lot of it, and he also had a set of equipment specially used for brewing Maotai.
"Then thank you, Master Immortal." The emperor was overjoyed.
On the third day, Wu Lai took out the red wine he got from the Blood Clan and invited the emperor to taste the wine. This red wine was naturally no less than Louis XIII. It was the best among red wines. The Blood Clan pursued perfection and gave it to Wu Lai.
, it’s definitely not bad, and Wu Lai has the Book of Heaven to make this red wine even better.
The emperor asked curiously: "Master, is this also wine?" Looking at the strange bottle in Wu Lai's hand, the emperor was very curious.
Wu Lai showed off and said: "Of course, look at the color, how beautiful it is! The taste is so fragrant! This wine is called red wine, which is made from grapes with skins and bark. The fragrance is elegant and beautiful, and the taste is mellow!"
Wu Lai took out a set of luminous cups, then poured a small cup for the emperor and a small cup for himself. The luminous cups were carefully carved from fine Qilian Mountain jade and Wushan Yuanyang jade, with natural patterns and thin cups.
The paper is as bright as a mirror, smooth inside and outside, and has a transparent and bright jade color. Use it to pour wine, and the sweet taste will remain unchanged for a long time. Especially when you drink under the moonlight, the inside of the cup will be as bright as water, and it seems to have a strange brilliance.
"The best way to taste wine is to use the corresponding utensils, the so-called luminous cups for grape wine! This set of luminous cups is valuable and is the best for wine tasting. Your Majesty, please try it." This set of luminous cups was given by Chairman Li
The one for Wu Lai will certainly not be bad.
The emperor picked up the cup unceremoniously, poured the wine into his mouth impatiently, swallowed it with a "gulp" sound, and then exclaimed: "Good wine!" However, he thought in his heart: Why only pour so little?
Wu Lai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, when pouring this kind of red wine, there is one thing to pay attention to, that is, don't fill the whole glass. Generally, only half a glass is enough, so I only poured a small amount.
Cup, it’s not that I’m stingy, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
After hearing Wu Lai's words, the emperor's face turned red and he looked ashamed.
Wu Lai continued: "If you are tasting other wines, it doesn't matter if you pour it down in one gulp. It's just that this kind of red wine has a certain tasting method. If you drink it directly, you won't be able to taste the three flavors of this wine! Drinking wine is
It’s classy.”
Wu Lai brought the wine glass to his nose, took a deep breath, and then said with an intoxicated look: "Your Majesty, tasting red wine is generally divided into five basic steps: looking at the color, shaking, smelling the wine, tasting and aftertaste. Looking at the color,
It is to evaluate the appearance of red wine, mainly including color, clarity, concentration, gloss and other factors. Many people can judge its age from these aspects. Generally speaking, the appearance of new wine
The color is clear and vivid, old wine is slightly tawny, and orange-red color indicates that it has expired. This shaking step is very important. Hold the bottom of the wine glass and shake the wine in the glass constantly to make the wine hang on the wall of the glass.
Above. Shaking will release some components in the wine, allowing the air to fully integrate with the red wine, maximizing the release of the unique aroma of the red wine. At the same time, this is also the process of decanting the aged wine."
Wu Lai poured the emperor another small glass and said to him: "Your Majesty, if you do as I say, you will definitely feel the taste of the wine."
The emperor followed Wu Lai's instructions hesitantly. In the end, he looked intoxicated and said, "Master Immortal, this wine is so mellow and flawless, it is endlessly memorable!"
"Haha, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Wu Lai looked at the emperor with a smile.
The emperor said with emotion: "I have been drinking for so many years, and my horizons have been opened these days. By the way, Master Xian, if you have something to ask me about, it shouldn't just be as simple as drinking, right?" Three consecutive days
Tian invited the emperor to drink, and brought out the best wine. Even a fool could tell that Wu Lai wanted to see the emperor for something.
Wu Lai didn't hide anything and said, "I really want to trouble the emperor about something."
Although the emperor knew that what Wu Lai was about to say must be important, he still said: "Master Immortal, please speak directly if you have anything to say. There is no need to be polite to me."
