Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

On March [-]th, the Yun family father and son arrived in Yuejing.

Jingli is bustling with bustle and bustle, the streets are very long, lined with shops on both sides, the streets are much wider than those in Yincheng, and the most prosperous streets are equipped with two-carriage lanes, so that two large carriages do not need to stop to give way when they are facing each other .The people in Beijing seem very leisurely and well-bred, and they don't feel rude even when they speak loudly.The riders also controlled their speed very politely, and few people walked on the carriageway. Pedestrians and horses and carriages did not interfere with each other, and everything seemed very orderly.

The Yun family's carriage was walking smoothly in the market, Xia Yue raised the curtain and looked at the scenery in Beijing with great interest.Occasionally, Master Yun would tell him that the unremarkable shop he just passed by was very famous in Beijing, the owner of the shop in front could often get rare and rare ingredients, and the dim sum in the building opposite was authentic Yue Beijing style, Wait, wait, Xia Yue secretly wrote it down.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of an inn called Yunlai.The inn is very big. It is said that Master Yun stays here every time he enters the capital. Xia Yue stands in front of the door and looks up at the prominent words on the signboard. He thinks that his father always lives here only because of his name.

Sure enough, the next moment, he heard Master Yun say with a smile: "Did you see the name, Yun Lai Yun Lai, once we come, isn't it really Yun Lai?"

With a smile on his face, Xia Yue took a deep breath before nodding in agreement.

The shopkeeper of Yunlai Inn came out to welcome him, followed Master Yun's words and exchanged a few words of greeting. Seeing Master Yun's introduction to Xia Yue, he immediately praised Young Master Yun for being handsome and talented.Xia Yue saluted and polite to each other, and was led into the room by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper also knew why Yincheng Yun's family came here, and while opening the door to the guests, he also babbled about how many wine storages came to the tasting this year, and which ones visited last year but did not come this year.Master Yun just listened, but didn't answer. Xia Yue didn't know the person the shopkeeper was talking about, so he couldn't speak.In fact, the shopkeeper didn't need the customer to respond, he just finished speaking by himself, and told the customer to order if there was anything to do, then he bowed and left.

"It seems that most of the people who come here this year are old wine storages." Master Yun sat on the bed, patted the lapel of his clothes and said.

Xia Yue asked curiously: "What the shopkeeper said just now, the one who came last year and didn't come this year is the new wine store?"

Master Yun nodded: "Last year there was a new collection with great potential, and the wine they brought was quite good, but if you didn't come this year, it seems that the news I heard earlier that they encountered rotten wine is true."

For wine making, rotten stuffing is the most terrible.Rotten fermenting means that the miscellaneous bacteria are not completely killed, resulting in the deterioration of the fermented mash. The spoiled mash will emit a pungent sweet and sour odor, which smells like a rotten smell, hence the name.Once rotting happens, there is no way to make up for it, and that barrel of wine is ruined and cannot be taken.This is still the case when it is discovered early. If it is not discovered in time, the miscellaneous bacteria will be transferred to other barrels, and the scope of damage to the rotten wine will be expanded. Seriously, the efforts to store a small wine for a whole wine-making season will be in vain.

When Xia Yue heard the word rotten wine, he also felt a little heavy in his heart, and had no words.After a while, he remembered something, and then asked again: "Father, you and Master Du both mentioned that last year there was trouble in brewing wine. Could it be...is it rotten stuffing?"

Hearing this, Master Yun paused, sighed, and then nodded slowly.

"It was discovered immediately at that time that the proportion of water was wrongly calculated during the break, which led to early springing."

"Zaoyong..." Xia Yue frowned upon hearing this.Early springing is one of the reasons for rotten brewing, that is, before the production of lactic acid bacteria, the yeast has already started to act, and at this time, the miscellaneous bacteria in the rotten wine have not been eliminated, so that healthy yeast cannot be cultivated, and rottenness occurs The possibility of brewing is quite high.

Master Yun closed his eyes and rubbed his brows: "At that time, the first time I warmed up, my reaction was very violent, and the foam kept rolling. Master Du judged that if we continue to let it go, there will be rot. After telling me, the two of us So I decisively decided to give up, and took people to pour the barrel of wine overnight and buried it in the back mountain."

Master Yun's voice was low, with distress in his tone.Of course Xia Yue knew that to give up a barrel of wine so simply, it would be as painful as cutting flesh for the wine store.In fact, if it was in the modern age of the last life, there is a way to save Zaoyong, as long as artificial yeast and lactic acid are added to the meat, the bacteria can be suppressed.But for Luo Yue, this is really impossible.

Here, wine making is really a battle in which Tibetans gamble everything, put their hopes on nature, and fight against nature at the same time.

Xia Yue clearly felt the pressure on his shoulders, but the heavier his shoulders were, the firmer he was in his heart.Both the Yun Family Wine Store and the Yun Family were on his shoulders, and it was the first time he felt the fighting spirit to support his family.Xia Yue subconsciously touched the money bag hanging around his waist, then squeezed it tightly.At this moment, he has a deep understanding of why there is such a saying of getting married first and then starting a career, and he also understands what kind of mentality Papa Xia used in his previous life to leave home and struggle alone to achieve success.When he thinks that there is a loved one waiting for him at home, and that he has the responsibility to make the other person's life better, he feels motivated all over his body.

In the evening, Xia Yue and his father went to a restaurant not far from the inn for dinner. The dishes in the restaurant were exquisite and the business was booming. Even the second floor was full of people.

Xia Yue saw Yun Family's Yuehua on the board, the price was quite high, after all, it used to be a tribute wine, and it was quite famous in Beijing.Master Yun didn't order his own wine, but Luo Yue's most common wine, Luoying.

"Luoying is brewed in a workshop in Beijing, that is, the official wine." Master Yun took a sip and said with a smile, "This bar is light, sweet and sour. If you say it is ordinary, it is the one that is most likely to be drunk. The taste is acceptable and the price is low, so people order it everywhere. I drink this when I go out, so as not to drink a rare good wine and can’t stop talking.”

Master Yun said the last sentence in a low voice, and laughed himself after he finished speaking.

Xia Yue looked at his father, who had been in a good mood since he came to the capital, except when he mentioned rotten stuffing, and he was also happy.He took a sip of the wine in the glass, it was indeed ordinary, but fortunately it was very refreshing and pleasing to the throat, and it was very comfortable to drink.

The Luoyue court encouraged wine making, and there was no alcohol prohibition in Xia Yue's impression of the previous generation.In order to encourage all breweries to concentrate on brewing high-quality wine, official workshops have always only brewed a large amount of ordinary wine, using ordinary wine rice, and employing ordinary wine-making workers.If you find a winemaker with good talent and high skills, you will be recommended to other sake breweries.In Xia Yue's eyes, this was very unbelievable, but Luo Yue's people seemed to take it for granted.

After drinking for three rounds and eating most of the food, Master Yun suddenly smiled.

Xia Yue asked him what was wrong when he saw it, but saw his father smiling at him, and then pointed to the wine glass in front of him: "When I drink now, I always want to drink warm ones. It’s not bad, but I always feel that something is missing.”

Master Yun shook his head as he spoke, and took a sip of his wine with a smile: "It's all your fault."

Xia Yue suppressed a smile, lowered his head and said that it was all his fault.

The father and son drank at each other with a smile, but they didn't notice that at the table behind Xia Yue, a young man took a special look at them, his eyes shining brightly against the candlelight.The boy who was waiting for a simple meal with other servants at another table noticed it. He looked at the young man and took note of that face.

Before resting at night, the servant told Xia Yue about this matter. Xia Yue thought about it for a while, and thought that words such as warm wine might have aroused others' curiosity. Although he thought there should be nothing wrong with it, he still Take this to heart.

The tasting meeting on the second day was held in the afternoon, and it was the court wine director who managed the official winemaking workshop Luquanfang who hosted it.Seventeen liquor stores attended this year. Five rectangular wooden tables were set up in the venue, covered with clean tablecloths. Ten bottles of wine were lined up on each table, and there were wine glasses for tasting in front of the bottles.

"It seems that fifty new wines will be participating in the tasting this year." Master Yun looked around the venue and said to Xia Yue.

Xia Yue nodded, followed Master Yun, and went to take a closer look at the wine.Not all wine storages can bring out five new wines.The Yunjia Winery is a large one. This winemaking season has produced more than 20 barrels of wine. Smaller wineries can only brew a dozen barrels, and some can only brew a few barrels.But most of those who can be invited to participate in the tasting are powerful wine producers.

As for the small part, like the small wine store last year, they came to recommend themselves with wine, and they could only attend after getting the approval of the wine manager.

The venue of the tasting meeting was very lively, not only the owners of various wine storages, but also some aristocratic celebrities who love wine, and wine merchants.The annual tasting meeting in spring is an excellent opportunity for wine merchants to quickly discover and compete for business opportunities. Many wine merchants are eager to attend the tasting meeting.

Before the wine department announced the start of wine tasting, Master Yun took Xia Yue to take a look around.On the way, when I met the owners of other wine storages, it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries.

The owners of Luoyue's major wine storages can meet like this once a year. Naturally, they all know that the young master of the Yun family has been unconscious for three years. A handsome young man followed Master Yunzang, still wondering who it was.Unexpectedly, once introduced, it turned out to be the legendary young master of the Yun family.

Before the masters of Tibetans could congratulate Young Master Yun for finally waking up, Master Yun said proudly that his son is now the young master of the Yun Family Wine Store, everyone was surprised.

Master Yun couldn't hold back the complacency on his face, Xia Yue looked at his father's face that seemed to be shining, it was helpless and funny, but he was also happy to let him show off.

"Every Tibetan master, Xia Yue often hears my father mentioning you, and I really have admired your name for a long time." Xia Yue respectfully saluted several Tibetan masters, using the most humble and gentle voice and tone, "I used to be self-willed and ignorant. Not anymore. Xia Yue is still young in the industry, so I hope you seniors will give you some pointers."

The Tibetan masters felt at ease when they heard it, and they kept saying that young people are always a little impetuous, and the old Tibetan master Yun still has energy, it's not too late, just take your time, Xia Yue also responded with a smile, From the corner of his eye, he could see that the corners of his father's mouth were almost grinning to the base of his ears.

Xia Yue chatted with several Tibetan masters, and it could be seen that several of them were sincerely happy for their father, and another two or three secretly grinned at Master Yun, and Master Yun laughed out loud when he saw it.Xia Yue smiled along, but was actually taken aback.It wasn't until they brought his Lang Guan over to introduce them to each other that Xia Yue smiled wryly in his heart, and only then did he realize that the hider's grimaces were not reconciled, probably because he felt that his son was being compared.

Thinking about it, these few people made my father suffocate a lot. Xia Yue looked at the old children and felt very happy.

A Tibetan owner kept looking at Xia Yue's handsome appearance, his eyes glowed, and seeing that the others were almost finished talking, he pulled Xia Yue to him, looked him up and down, and said to him with a smile: "There is such an outstanding Lang Guan, No wonder Lao Yun succeeded in this way. He is very proud of your son. You were not willing to inherit the wine store before, but Lao Yun didn't say anything. We all know that he feels regretful."

Xia Yue lowered his eyes slightly, looking obediently trained: "It's Xia Yue who is ignorant, and made father and seniors worry about it."

"Don't call me senior, I'm about the same age as your father, if you want, just call me Uncle Zou."

"Uncle Zou." Xia Yue was as good as a follower.

Zangzhu Zou smiled and agreed: "Hey, then I will also call you nephew. In fact, it is understandable for young people to be rebellious. They feel unwilling to inherit the family business and follow the path of the older generation. I know He is a glazed craftsman, and his son is also unwilling to do this job, but after getting married, he obediently learned from his father."

Hearing this, Xia Yue couldn't understand what the other party meant. He nodded with a smile, waiting for Zangzhu Zou's next words.On the other side, Master Yun vaguely heard the last few words, and also came over.

Zangzhu Zou saw Master Yun approaching, but he didn't avoid it, and said generously: "Everyone says that you can start a family and start a business. This must be true. Only when you become a family can your heart be settled, and you can establish a career." Ah. Lao Yun, you may also be worried about my nephew, who can't stand the hard work of brewing wine and can't calm down. I think you can arrange a marriage for him. Only with a husband can the man be settled. My family's Qing Guan, you know that this year you will be sixteen in the summer, and your temper and character can be guaranteed, you see, why not just..."

Xia Yue was also worried that the other party was an elder, so it was not easy to interrupt the other party, but Master Yun didn't care, and when he saw that he got into the topic, he immediately waved his hand to stop him: "Old Zou, it's not that I look down on your family, it's just that Xia Yue has already We are married and have a husband."

"Married?" Zangzhu Zou didn't expect it, he had a regretful expression on his face, seeing Xia Yue nodding with a sorry smile, he felt really sorry, after thinking about it, he asked again: "Why don't you just take it and do it?" The servant is also fine. I'm not boasting, but my family's servant is really good, nephew, would you consider it?"

Xia Yue shook his head, his voice was very gentle, but the content was a firm refusal: "Thank you Uncle Zou for your kindness, but Xia Yue has already promised his husband that he will be the only one in this life, and he will not take the servant again. I also hope Uncle Zou Forgive me."

Xia Yue bowed deeply after speaking.

Zangzhu Zou was shocked when he heard this sentence, and couldn't continue talking.The young master of a rich family can say that he will not take the servant, but only the husband, what a deep affection it must be.Zangzhu Zou felt a little envious, so he didn't say any more, although he still felt pity in his heart, if his family could promise such an affectionate Langguan, he would be able to laugh out loud in his dreams, but there is no fate in the end, and there is no way to be envious.

After the conspiracy was over here, the wine master announced the beginning of the tasting from the head seat.As a result, everyone's expression changed, they put away their laughter, stopped chatting, and seriously tasted this year's new wine one by one.

They tried to drink fifty kinds of new wine, but naturally they couldn't swallow the wine. There were attendants holding silver basins and standing in a row at each table, so that the wine tasting guests could spit the wine into the silver basins.

The Yun family's wine was placed on the last table by the wine manager, and Xia Yue also tried it one by one. He is confident that his own wine is still the best wine among dozens of other wines in the venue, especially this year. Try the two new brews, although they are not as deep and gorgeous as Yuehua's, the excellent taste and elegant aroma have a freshness that is not found in all the wines here, and they will definitely leave a deep impression on others.

After tasting all the wine, Xia Yue took the water handed over by the attendant, rinsed his mouth, and just as he was about to leave, he heard a clear voice behind him.

"Young owner of the Yun Family Wine Store, I like your new wine very much."

Xia Yue turned his head and saw a young man in a silk-colored gown.If you want to talk about your first impression, Xia Yue only thinks that this young man's appearance is very... publicized.

"How about making friends, Master Yun?" The handsome young man said with a smile.
