"Yumen Chunjiu, is this restaurant opened by players?" Cui Ruoyun asked, looking at the busy restaurant.
"Yes, this is the best shop in Guazhou now. The boss is still open today."
Most of the shops on the street are closed today. Only those players who don't need to celebrate the holiday will open their doors on the first day of the new year.
However, the festive atmosphere is strong this year, there are many people shopping on the streets, and the shops that are open are doing brisk business.
"I heard that this player's family has ancestral winemaking skills. As soon as Yumenchun was launched, it overwhelmed several wine shops in Guazhou and became the best local wine."
"Sister, I heard that merchants from Shazhou will also purchase goods from here. Yumenchun is also very popular in Guazhou."
Cui Tao licked the corner of his mouth, but Cui Ruoyun said: "College students are not allowed to drink alcohol!"
"Sister, I am a graduate student!"
“Graduate students are not allowed to drink either!”
"Can't you drink alcohol in this game?"
"Not even in the game!"
Cui Tao, who was brutally suppressed, was disheartened, but was pulled into the restaurant by Cui Ruoyun.
"Sister, aren't you allowed to drink alcohol?"
"You can't drink as a graduate student. I'm already working, so I can drink."
"sister!"
An indigenous waiter ushered the two into the restaurant. The waiter said enthusiastically: "Our signature Yumenchun, do you two want to try it?"
"Let's have a pot, what else besides wine?"
“We also have sweet rice wine, which is perfect for female guests to drink.”
"Is the temperature high?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment. It seemed that the shopkeeper often recited the degree in his mouth. He thought for a while and said: "If you don't get drunk with rice wine, you won't get drunk."
"Then bring a pot of rice wine, some other dishes to go with the wine, and give us a seat by the window."
"Okay! Two distinguished guests, please come inside!"
Yumenchun Restaurant has four floors, and the two siblings were taken to the window seat on the uppermost floor, where they could overlook the entire street.
Looking at the streets filled with tourists and decorated with lights, Cui Tao felt a sense of accomplishment.
Guazhou has become increasingly prosperous after the players arrived. It is like seeds planted in their own fields, finally taking root and sprouting. The sense of accomplishment is really addictive.
Two wine jars with ceramic bottles were brought up. Under the surprised gaze of the waiter, Cui Ruoyun picked up Yumenchun and handed the rice wine to her brother.
"Sir, the Yumenchun in our store is soft in the mouth but has a strong stamina. Please don't drink too much."
Cui Ruoyun picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was indeed well brewed. It was soft and had the aroma of grain in the mouth. It had a taste that the blended wine of later generations did not have.
However, the alcohol content of this wine is not high. Cui Ruoyun tasted it and said: "It is a low-alcohol wine of more than 30 degrees. This distillation and purification process is not up to standard. If I were in the laboratory, I could make six
The alcohol is over 10% alcoholic."
"Sister, thirty degrees is not enough. There is money in Yumenchun, and the highest alcohol content in Guazhou is wine with less than ten degrees."
"This wine tastes good, and the boss has some skills."
Cui Tao took a sip of sweet wine, which was made from simple fermentation of grain.
The starch in the grain is converted into sugar, and then the sugar is converted into alcohol.
Rice wine stops fermenting before the sugar is completely converted into alcohol. This kind of wine has a low alcohol content and is sweet in the mouth. It is very popular with the elderly and women.
Immediately afterwards, another waiter brought two stir-fried dishes, and the aroma rushed into their noses.
"Sister, there are also many people planting soybeans here in Guazhou. After a player discovered it, he built an oil pressing plant. Now people in Guazhou City are starting to use oil for cooking."
Cui Ruoyun nodded slightly. Among the players, there was also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There were two things, wine and oil, and the players had already spent some money on them.
"I remember that the use of stir-fried vegetables only started to appear in the Song Dynasty. No wonder the food in the military camp has been better recently."
Cui Tao nodded and said: "Stir-fried vegetables are much more delicious than stewed vegetables. Recently, wealthy families in Guazhou have begun to let their cooks learn how to cook."
Cui Ruoyun picked up the stir-fried vegetables in front of her and took a bite. Although it lacked spices, it already tasted much better than the disgusting stews when she first entered the game.
Cui Tao also took a few bites, and the stir-fried food was much better than the food in their university cafeteria.
"The game Datang Fengyun is really awesome, even the feeling of eating is the same as in reality!" Cui Tao sighed and took another sip of rice wine.
Cui Ruoyun put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked, "I heard that someone wants to organize a caravan to do business in Shazhou?"
Cui Tao nodded and said: "Yes, a few days ago Sun Jianguo and several other businessmen and players came to me and said that they heard that the price of wool had tripled when it was shipped to Shazhou. These players couldn't sit still and said that they wanted to
When escorting goods to Shazhou for sale, we cannot let those profiteers make the difference in price."
Cui Tao looked at Cui Ruoyun doubtfully and asked: "Sister, do you also want to join this caravan?"
Cui Ruoyun shook her head and said: "What kind of caravan did I join? If you hadn't pulled me out, I wouldn't have left the laboratory for a moment. You didn't see how busy I was."
Cui Tao scratched his head and asked: "Since you don't want to join the caravan, why do you ask this?"
Cui Ruoyun said: "I still lack a few experimental raw materials, which are not available in Guazhou. If they really go to Shazhou, help me bring some back."
"So that's it, no problem! But going to Shazhou is not an easy thing, and the road is not easy."
Cui Ruoyun nodded. Ancient times are not modern. The reason why merchants can make huge profits is because there are too many corpses of merchants who died on the roadside.
Bandits, unscrupulous colleagues, and even passing government troops may attack fat sheep laden with goods.
"I heard that these merchant players are planning to hire adventure players to join them and form a convoy to send them to Guazhou."
"How to hire? Does it cost money?"
"Just use money. King Jianning has a long-term mission where you can get contribution points by paying money. These adventure players take the money and turn it over to King Jianning to get contribution points."
"This is good. Are there many people signing up?"
"There are quite a lot of them. Recently, all the bandits near Guazhou have been wiped out by the players. Many adventure players have taken some time off. It just so happens that everyone wants to open up new maps."
"In addition to these players, there are also several scenery party players who are going to Shazhou. Everyone heard that the Dunhuang Grottoes in Shazhou are still under construction. They all want to see what the Dunhuang Grottoes look like in this era."
Cui Ruoyun said: "Then I will make a list for you. If there is a caravan going to Shazhou, help me buy some experimental materials and come back."
"No problem, wait a minute, who will pay for this?"
"Nonsense, of course it was you."
"Wait a minute, didn't King Jianning give you funds for the experiment? Why do you still need me to pay for it?"
"The funds for the laboratory are never enough, and you don't know that?"
