After all, Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji were the deputy commander-in-chief on the ship, and the other was a high-level bureaucrat sent by the imperial court to do business. Naturally, it was not that troublesome to go directly to the ship to get a barrel.
If this happened during the march... Of course, by now, it should be said that it was during the ship. Drinking is actually against the rules.
Drinking is strictly prohibited in the army. This is a rule. As a commander-in-chief or deputy commander-in-chief, if you want to enforce the rules, you must not touch them.
But now we are in the garrison stage, and it is a long-term garrison, the type of building a fortress. This is different from marching. It is really okay to drink, but the commanders have the final say on how to drink.
Chai Shao is the commander-in-chief, so of course he has to take the lead and replace the soldiers to see if there is any poison...
As for hosting a banquet for the entire army, Chai Shao knew this. Anyone with some emotional intelligence in the army would understand that this kind of thing can only be done after a major stage of the task is completed, such as building a city and completing the wall, and then a handsome man returns to his official position.
Of course, Chai Shao still dragged Ma Zhou over to drink with him. This young man was his favorite.
Ma Zhou was a little frightened, but since the general invited him, as a small soldier who was half captain and half soldier, of course he just obeyed the order.
but……
Ma Zhou arrived on the ship to "attend the banquet" with some panic, but soon calmed down and chatted and laughed with the two seniors.
but……
That night, when they opened the wine jar, it was Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji who were shocked.
The smell of this drink is incredibly sweet!
…
The rich wine aroma is mixed with the same rich fruit aroma.
The two aromas are perfectly matched, and it is called a fragrance that is so fragrant that it makes people's hearts, hearts, intestines and lungs jump.
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji were both stunned.
This wine...
Something is wrong.
This must have been taken on a boat trip to sea, and was only used to preserve fresh water wine?
impossible……
Impossible.
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji looked at each other with surprise and doubt on their faces.
This thing is so weird...
How can the wine on a mere ship be so sweet and rich...
The strong fragrance that hit their nostrils immediately made Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji stunned.
Taking a deep breath of the wine again, Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji...
No words were needed, and they reached out to the wine jar without any hesitation.
At times like this, anything you say is nonsense. Even if the sky is falling, we have to try this wine first!
It’s so fragrant!
The two of them quickly poured a glass each...
When I saw this, I was shocked again.
This wine is as clear as water, with no trace of impurities visible!
This is actually the best sake!
…
Sake is not an alcoholic beverage invented by a certain country in later generations, but refers to a grade.
The reason... is very simple, it was underdeveloped in ancient times.
The underdeveloped productivity is behind the underdeveloped technology, and the corresponding wine-making technology cannot be that advanced - not to mention that this is still a period that has just ended in hundreds of years of chaos, and many of the technological crystallizations of the Han Dynasty have been lost.
Wine-making technology is one of them. Good wine-making technology is like valuable antiques. Antiques will only become "precious" in prosperous times, and wine-making technology will only be produced in times and regions with peace, stability, and economic prosperity.
Therefore, in the current Tang Dynasty, the most precious wine is not the various "branded wines" with concepts such as "Ner Hong", "Huadiao" and other concepts similar to "Wagyu", but clear wine.
If the wine can be made clear, it is considered a good wine.
Hundreds of years of technology being lost has resulted in this. Even in Chang'an, not all families... no, not even all restaurants can openly supply that kind of clear water wine, most of them
Drinks...are more or less turbid.
But at this moment...
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji were shocked because the wine was so clear.
It's even clearer than the best wines served in the best restaurants in Chang'an...it's no different from water!
In addition to the rich and attractive aroma of wine...
The two of them were completely stunned.
It’s okay to say that the wine is good. After all, the world is so big that there are always some folk recipes that can brew wine with a fragrant aroma...
But now the situation is obviously unusual, the quality of this wine is too high.
If this appeared in a restaurant in Chang'an, a pot would probably cost tens of thousands of dollars...or even tens of thousands of dollars!
Both of them looked horrified...
Because if this top-quality wine is not enough to shock them...
So this best wine is stored in large quantities in the cabin...
This is very shocking!
The two of them were stunned for a long time before raising their glasses.
Then Chai Shao looked at Ma Zhou and forced out a difficult smile...
"My dear nephew, let's... let's have a drink, hahaha..."
Ma Zhou looked at this general with a confused face, and a senior official looked at this with a confused face...
I was completely confused, not knowing what was going on with these two people.
Is there anything special about this wine?
Ma Zhou couldn't help but look at the cup in his hand and the wine in the cup.
like……
There's nothing strange about it. The quality of this wine is very good... and it didn't go bad at sea.
But since Chai Shao said that he would have a drink with him, Ma Zhou naturally followed suit and drank first before talking.
Take this bite...
Ma Zhou said "ha" in a comfortable voice...
I haven’t drank for a long time, ever since I went to sea with Li Sheng and left the land.
Ma Zhou was a gentleman by nature and rarely drank alcohol on shore.
After a tiring voyage, I really wanted something exciting to relieve my fatigue.
It's really comfortable to take this sip.
but……
Ma Zhou took a long breath, then took a deep breath...
After finally calming down, I opened my eyes and saw...
But I saw Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji, their expressions at this moment...
The horror on his face reached its highest point.
Ma Zhou was dumbfounded, and a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart——
Isn't this wine poisonous?
If it's poisonous, then...
That’s a big deal, this is wine prepared for the brothers in the entire fleet!!
However, before Ma Zhou had time to ask,
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji, both of whom looked horrified, immediately grabbed Ma Zhou, one on each side, firmly holding Ma Zhou's shoulders.
Ma Zhou was startled, and his heart became cold for a moment. He couldn't help shouting, "Two... two adults, I didn't do this!"
"What didn't you do?"
Ma Zhou's sudden shout made Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji stunned for a moment, but then Chai Shao asked about the business and said anxiously...
"What's the name of this wine? Chang'an... is there a place to sell it?!"
