Chapter 94: Lao Deng's Baogu Wine
Hearing Mr. Wang’s words, Yang Tian also sniffed it hard, and then explained with a smile: “What am I saying? It turns out that grandpa is the smell of this! This is not a good wine! Mr. Deng is baking corn wine for nothing, and he is doing it when he wakes up this morning. It’s probably almost done!”
Since Mr. Deng came to Yang Tian’s house, he has regarded this place as his home. When he has nothing to do, he drinks tea, Doudou Nao Nao and Zhazha. Sometimes when he suddenly comes, he will cook a few dishes to reward Yang Tian and the others’ stomachs. Two days ago, Mr. Deng was interested and said that the wine is not good now, so he should make some wine himself. [bsp; In just two days, he has selected ingredients and fermented it. Today, he finally put the roast wine on the shelves. Yang Tian still doesn’t know what the quality is! If Mr. Wang hadn’t mentioned this just now, Yang Tian wouldn’t know that the wine is as good as he said.
"What is the roasted wine? No, this wine smells mellow and honest. There is a sticky sweet smell in the air. Why is this freshly roasted wine? These are all good wines that have been treasured for many years. Don't lie to me, the old man, I drink a lot of wine!"
According to Mr. Wang’s memory, the fresh wine may have a mellow aroma, but it is not so strong, and the fresh wine has a sensation. I have drunk a lot of wine, and I have never heard of any wine that is so fragrant when it is roasted.
"Grandpa, I'm really not lying. Why don't I take you to see you!" Yang Tian saw that Mr. Wang didn't believe it, and quickly explained.
Mr. Wang didn't say anything, but told Yang Tian with his actions, why are you waiting for a walk? Mr. Wang of the Yangtian family is familiar with him. He looked for the fragrance of wine, and could find the place to roast wine without Yang Tian leading the way. When he walked into the kitchen under Yang Tian's laboratory, the mellow and rich aroma of wine filled the entire space. Mr. Wang took a breath, and the feeling was a little satisfied and a little surprised.
"Old Deng, how did you drink?" Yang Tian walked to the stove and prepared to add Chai.
"Don't, don't add firewood, that's it!" Seeing Yang Tian's actions, Mr. Deng hurriedly stopped him. This was the result of his hard work for several days. If he was disrupted by Yang Tian at this time, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
The imperial chef in the palace is the first to cook, and the second to cook wine. If every imperial chef in the palace doesn’t know how to cook wine, then he is not a qualified imperial chef. The four subjects of cooking, brewing, making ingredients, and testing poison are short, and everyone else gets 100 points, and you get 75 points? If you feel embarrassed on your face, even your master will be implicated.
In ancient times, when I made wine, I smelled it, and I tasted it. I smelled it, the fragrance of the wine, the color of the wine, and the taste of the taste. Each one was very detailed, and each one was indispensable. In ancient times, because there was no concept of chemical and pharmaceuticals, they made wine koji on the spot.
Corn was a kind of economic crop that entered our country in the 18th century. At that time, foreign envoys paid tribute, and this thing was included. After seeing this, the emperor was overjoyed and ordered the imperial kitchen to make wine to entertain everyone. After a few days, the wine made of grain became one of the most popular wines from the people to the court ministers.
Speaking of this cucumber wine, there is also a joke from Mr. Deng. At that time, Mr. Deng followed his father to learn cooking. Once, his father asked him to drink and asked him which kind of cucumber was made of this wine, and what kind of cucumber was made of, whether it was glutinous cucumber or yellow cucumber.
At that time, Mr. Deng was not old and had not been studying art with his father for a few years. He took the wine he had handed over and poured it down. He thought it was good, mellow and sweet. After drinking the wine, his father asked him what kind of wine was made of. Mr. Deng thought for a long time and said that it was made of good wine was made of good wine, and his father asked again what kind of grain was made of. Mr. Deng also thought for a long time and said that it was made of good grain.
When my father was so angry that you answered the question, you could not answer the question, and then you could not tell the truth about drinking. So he took a bamboo strip and hit Mr. Deng. In fact, Mr. Deng didn't know what kind of wine was made of, and he couldn't tell what kind of corn was made of. He just thought it was delicious, but he just thought the wine tasted good. He knew that the stamina of this bag of corn wine was so strong. Now he thought he was very stupid and stupid at that time.
"Xiaotian quickly find me a bowl. It's been a long time since I smelled such a good wine. I have to try it quickly." Old Wang was very excited. Looking at the Baogu wine in front of him, his throat was rising and falling rapidly, as if a greedy person was crawling.
Yang Tian quickly found three small bowls and scooped a spoonful from the barrel. Smelling the smell, not only Mr. Wang's throat was moving, but now Yang Tian also felt itchy.
After half a bowl of wine, a warm feeling emanated from the stomach. Everyone felt comfortable all over, and a kind of indescribable comfort made people very enjoyable.
"How is it, it's good! This wine hasn't been brewed for a long time and is unfamiliar with hands. If you were young, you would have better control over the heat and a little later. The taste would be better!" Mr. Deng looked at Yang Tian and the others, and then said.
"Hehe, brother, you are authentic to roast this wine. This is the first time I have had such a good corn wine." Mr. Wang also said with a smile.
"By the way, Mr. Deng, you can roast this wine, which is much better than Wuliangye, Chinese Lang." Yang Tian didn't expect that he could find such a capable person by eating hot and sour noodles. Although Mr. Deng is a little older now, fortunately, Mr. Deng's skills are still there, so it would be a good idea to find a successor.
"Haha, I'm old, I'm not as capable as before. By the way, Xiaotian is what you said to be a grandpa!" Time is not forgiving people, and the weather and frost brings age and body. Although the wine is good, Mr. Deng is still a little dissatisfied. Others don't know, don't he know the master of his roasting wine? This wine tastes good, but there are still some flaws in it. If you are not a specialty wine tasting person, this flaw will not be seen.
"Hey, look at me, I forgot everything after drinking. Mr. Deng is my godfather Wang Zhantian, this is Wang Bing. Grandpa is Mr. Deng Liang, the successor of the imperial chef in the palace that I often mention to you. The dishes he made are delicious and can be regarded as delicacies!" Yang Tian slapped his head and then introduced.
"Hahaha..., my brother's craftsmanship is often mentioned. Today, I prepared such a good gift as soon as I came here, and I like it very much!" Mr. Wang said with a big laugh.
Front-end time Yang Tian often talked about Deng Liang, but he didn't believe it at that time. The imperial chef was a profession that disappeared from the long river of history. Now many people are using the imperial chef's signature, but none of them are authentic. It is not that their dishes are not well cooked, nor that their fancy styles are not beautiful enough. It is just that history has eliminated a lot of things, and these successors have also changed with the times. How many can they be authentic, and how many can maintain good things passed down by our ancestors?
This time I saw Mr. Wang believed it. Not to mention that the craftsmanship of this roasted wine is not comparable to that of modern craftsmanship. The traditional distillation method and the traditional brewing method each piece carries the traces of history, and every point is restoring history.
"Hahaha..., Brother Wang, you laugh. I am a conservative person and have no enterprising spirit. I will always be guarding something passed down by my ancestors. How dare I compete with Brother Wang!" Mr. Wang's cheerful personality infected everyone around me, and Mr. Deng also said with a laugh!
"Brother, don't say that. Your craft is priceless. If you say this, you'll be out of the way! Xiaotian goes to find a few dishes, and if you don't have meat, just have some peanuts, spicy beans, etc. I want to drink it with me. When I encounter such a good wine and such a good brewer, if I don't drink a glass of wine, I, Old Wang, feels so nervous!" Old Wang was happy. He had long stopped treating Yang Tian as an outsider. He gave instructions in his grandson's house. He believed in his own eyes, and he believed that Yang Tian also thought so. So Old Wang didn't call Wang Bing, and shouted directly to Yang Tian.
When drinking, there were hundreds of friends, and when people were happy, they were in good spirits. The two old men, Yang Tian, and Wang Bing set up a small table in the yard to drink. The family came back one after another, and Yanyu became the wine commander behind Yang Tian. In addition, the eldest brother Yang Wen and father Yang Yi, this big man sat in the yard and talked about everything, which was a different kind of vocabulary to discuss heroes. But there were more heroes, which was a bit unreasonable.
Mr. Deng’s baogu wine is indeed a good wine and has been praised by everyone. Although this wine has only been released, its mellow and sweet taste makes people feel aftertaste. Take a sip with your mouth, the sweetness in the wine touches the upper and lower lips, and the soft feeling makes people feel comfortable.
Yang Tian is not a wine tasting person. He doesn't know what type of wine it is. From the outside, the wine is as clear as citrine, without a trace of turbidity or a trace of impurities. From the taste, the wine has a strong aroma, a harmonious flavor, and a long tail. It doesn't have much aroma after it is really roasted, it smells light, but it tastes very long.
Later, after Mr. Deng's explanation, everyone realized that this wine is between soy sauce and strong fragrance. It contains all the taste of soy sauce and strong fragrance, and it also has a bit of the taste of rice wine. Because corn has high sugar content, the wine produced has a bit of a sticky feeling, which is something other grains do not have. To achieve this feeling, in addition to authentic Maotai, it can only be achieved after being stored for more than five years in white wine, and corn wine is born with such a great advantage.
There is also the low-degree wine, which is not very good to drink, but don’t drink too much. Although the degree is low, its stamina is still there, and you will still get drunk after drinking too much!
