Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 646 Erguotou

Hearing that they were going to eat at the Royal Hotel, this group of brazen kids who were fearless were a little worried.

But curiosity eventually overcomes fear. As long as there is no trouble, the family will not know.

A meal for eight people can cost more than 200 dragon coins, Zhu Cihong can still afford it.

He was rewarded with more than 100 taels of silver in the Nanyang battle, and at worst he was borrowing some from Princess Kunxing.

Zhu Cihong didn't think too much, his only thought was that so many brothers would contribute to the country together in the future.

When the children entered the Royal Hotel, they suddenly felt that their eyes were not enough, and the level of luxury was beyond their perception.

They didn't think too much, they all thought that Zhou Da was already a lieutenant general, so he should be able to invite them to a meal.

Seeing a group of teenagers entering the hotel, Liu Rushi didn't pay attention, and was still looking down at the account book.

"Miss Boss, open a private room for us."

When a familiar voice rang in her ears, she looked up, only to find the prince Zhu Cihong standing in front of her.

Just as Liu Rushi was about to say hello, she saw Zhu Cihong keep giving her winks.

The clever Liu Rushi immediately understood what was going on, and smiled sweetly:
"Upstairs in the Rose Hall, please go upstairs with the little girl."

It was still a special room for princesses, and since Zhu Cihong came in person, of course Liu Rushi would use it for him.

When they went upstairs, a group of teenagers looked at Liu Rushi whose waist was twisting, and they all felt hot all over.

Huang Dahu quietly said to Zhang Fugui:
"Look at Fugui, the proprietress is so beautiful and attractive, no wonder my father doesn't allow us to come to the Royal Hotel to play."

Zhang Fugui is older and has a wife at home, so he is more experienced in this area than a group of brats.

Although he was amazed by Liu Rushi, he would not change his face, and lightly touched Huang Dahu:

"Keep your voice down, don't act like you haven't seen the big world, don't be ashamed."

Meng Liang was right next to Dahu, and he also heard what Dahu said, so he couldn't help giving Dahu a hard look:
"That's right, isn't that little girl who warms the bed in your family pretty? Don't let Zhou Da look down on us."

Duo was blushed by the two of them:

"You... prude..."

Could it be that Liu Rushi is beautiful? All the waiters at the Royal Hotel are as beautiful as flowers and jade.

"Please come in, young master, and I will serve you food immediately."

Liu Rushi opened the door to invite Zhu Cihong to enter, and she smiled at a group of brats and turned to leave.

Zhu Cihong smiled at the newcomer:

"Everyone sit wherever you want."

Since they all came, and no one was polite to him, everyone immediately sat down at the big round table.

After all, Zhang Fugui was older, and when he saw the luxurious decoration of the Rose Hall, he already realized that the meal was not cheap.

Looking at the young Zhu Cihong again, Zhang Fugui felt a little guilty and felt that he shouldn't come to eat.

He clasped his fists to Zhu Cihong and said:
"Brother Zhou has spent a lot of money today, and the food and drinks can be simpler."

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's okay, there are people in the family who are doing business, and eating a meal is nothing. I hope everyone can become friends in the future."

Soon, Liu Rushi led a group of beautiful waiters to serve them food. The food was very rich, at least there were several dishes they had never seen before.

Seeing a table full of food in front of them, the group of young masters realized that the food at their home was definitely not at the same level as the food at the Royal Hotel.

"Master, how about getting you two bottles of Erguotou?"

Seeing that the people eating were all teenagers, Liu Rushi knew that it would be a waste to give them red wine.

So he proposed to drink Erguotou. Zhu Cihong had never drunk Erguotou before, so he really wanted to try it, so he nodded and agreed:
"Okay, thank you lady boss!"

"Master, you are welcome."

Liu Rushi turned and left, and quickly brought in two bottles of Erguotou:

"Master, take your time, call me if you need something."

Liu Rushi opened the bottle cap and turned to leave.

The two tigers couldn't wait to say:

"Holy shit, what Erguotou, try it quickly.

The pretty waiter hurried forward to pour wine for them, a bottle of Erguotou was more than one or two per person.

Seeing that Zhou Da only ordered two bottles of wine, some people began to cry inwardly. They all drink a lot, so two bottles of wine are so small that they are useless.

But when they saw that the wine bottle was actually a glass bottle, and the wine was clear and transparent without any impurities, they became curious again.

Huang Dahu picked up his wine glass:
"Thank you Zhou Da for your hospitality, thank you very much!"

Seeing Duo get up to toast, everyone stood up to toast, and then wiped out Erguotou in the cup in one gulp.

Someone sincerely thanked Zhu Cihong for bringing them to the Royal Hotel for dinner.

There were also people who drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, wanting Zhu Cihong to know where two bottles of wine were enough.

But as soon as a sip of wine entered their mouths, they felt that the taste was different.

When Erguotou got into their stomachs, everyone present almost spit out the wine.

The alcohol was too strong, and it was super spicy. Everyone resisted the discomfort and dared not speak up, and their little faces turned red.

Not to mention them, Zhu Cihong was also deceived by Erguotou, he felt the same as Erhu and the others.

The alcohol content of liquor in the Ming Dynasty was around 10% to 18%, which is equivalent to the alcohol content of beer today.

At that time, it was already considered a very high concentration of alcohol.

Wine in ancient China is generally divided into rice wine and white wine, and wine is also available but relatively small.

The raw material for wine making is generally rice or yellow rice.

The raw materials are first distilled, then poured into a container to cool down, and then add koji and wait for the rice to ferment.

After fermentation and introduction, pressing is carried out, and the final liquid is wine.

However, Erguotou's temperature reached 55 degrees. Because I didn't have the slightest preparation, I drank more than one or two in one gulp, and no one could bear it in a short time.

You know, peppers in the Ming Dynasty have not yet appeared, and Zhu Youjian asked to plant some.

But it has not been implemented. In order to fill their stomachs, people need food more, so they gave up growing peppers.

In later generations, there were many people who drank more than one or two baijiu in one gulp, but in the Ming Dynasty, they didn't even know what spicy food was, so how could they bear it for a while.

For a long time, no one was able to speak, and I just felt hot in my stomach.

Seeing the embarrassment of the prince and a group of young masters, the waiter knew that they had never drunk Erguotou.

He couldn't help but secretly pursed his lips and smiled, worrying that the prince would blame him, he hurriedly covered his small mouth with his jade hand.

"Zhou...Zhou Da, what kind of wine is too bad for you, did you deliberately trick us?"

Zhang Fugui, who was the first to return to normal, was very upset. He felt that Zhou Da was tricking them.

Zhu Youjian waved his hands again and again:

"I feel the same as you. It's the first time I drink this kind of wine. Don't get me wrong."

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, she turned around and asked the waiter:

"What's the matter with this wine? Call your lady boss over here."

The waiter hurriedly gave a blessing:
"Young Master, please calm down. This wine is the best wine. Only a few court officials and His Majesty the Emperor have ever drank it. You are not used to it. Just eat some food."

"Ah... His Majesty's royal liquor?"

Hearing that the emperor drank the wine, they dared not make any mistakes, and hurriedly picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

Sure enough, after eating some vegetables, the uncomfortable feeling in the mouth and stomach gradually disappeared, leaving a mouthful of wine instead.

Meng Liang nodded:
"Sure enough, it's a good wine. I don't think there is such a wine in Daming except the Royal Hotel!"
