Jianbao life

Chapter 411

"Ah!" Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke exclaimed, and then said impatiently: "What is the function of this cup, tell me quickly!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this cup should be called a self-warming cup." Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Self-warming cup?"

Wu Ke was a little puzzled about the name, but after a while, she remembered that there was a description in this aspect in the ancient books she had read before, and she asked in disbelief: "Achen, you are talking about "The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao" "The self-warming cup recorded in "?"

"Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy" is a notebook novel written by Wang Renyu of the Five Dynasties. According to social rumors, this book respectively records the anecdotes and relics of the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years of the Tang Dynasty. The content mainly describes strange objects and legends.

Among them, there is a record about the "self-warming cup": "During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a wine cup in the inner mansion. It was blue in color, with patterns like messy silk, and it was as thin as a leaf. Take wine and inject it, it will be warm and there will be gas blowing like boiling soup."

Chu Chen nodded and said: "If there is no accident, it should be this kind of cup. Think about it, is the shape of the cup I bought just now the same as the self-warming cup in the record? And just now I saw three cups on the foot of the cup. Although the handwriting of this character is somewhat blurred, it is quite similar to the words "Self-warming Cup"."

Wu Ke thought about it for a while, and it was indeed very similar to the self-warming cup in the records, but she still couldn't believe it, and said, "Achen, you are not mistaken, how can such a legendary thing exist?"
Chu Chen said as usual: "What's the matter? Didn't I get incense candles before? But, whether it is a self-warming cup or not, you can only know if you try it."

Speaking of this, he thought to himself, if you know that I have a full cup, you don't know how surprised you will be!However, it is too important to keep the cup full, and he doesn't want to tell Wu Ke yet.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, although Wu Ke still felt a little unbelievable, he accepted it in his heart.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go back and try it now!..."

The two bought a bottle of wine at the store and then went back to their hotel room.

Clean the cup a little bit. While cleaning, Chu Chen also did an experiment, and found that putting clean water in the cup did not cause the phenomenon of boiling.

This made him a little bit guilty, whether the self-heating is a lie, or only alcohol can cause self-heating. If the result given by the ability is based on the result, it should be the latter situation, right?

After drying the glass and returning to the room, Wu Ke had already opened the wine bottle and was eager to experiment. When Chu Chen put the glass on the table, she immediately poured half a glass of wine into the glass.

But to their disappointment, after 1 minute, there was no heat coming out of the cup.

"This isn't a self-warming cup, right? Why hasn't there been any response for so long?" Wu Ke said with a look of disappointment. Still quite disappointed.

"No way, it's obviously the same as the description of the self-warming cup!" Chu Chen frowned and said, and then directly put his hand into the cup to test the temperature of the wine, which immediately surprised him.

"This wine is really hot!"

"Ah! Let me try!" Seeing this, Wu quickly stretched his hand in, and said dumbfounded: "It's really hot, and it seems to be getting hotter and hotter! What's going on!"

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I tested it just now, and there was no reaction at all with clean water. Hey! Do you think it's because the wine we bought is too low in alcohol, so the reaction is not obvious? !"

Because Wu Ke doesn't know much about drinking, just now at her request, Chu Chen bought a bottle of white wine with only 6 degrees.

"So, it's really possible that's the case." Wu Ke nodded.

"Then wait, I'll go buy a bottle of high-alcohol wine!..."

After a while, Chu Chen bought three bottles of wine and returned to the room.

"Why do you buy so much wine, isn't it a waste?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "When I was buying wine, I wanted to buy a few more bottles of wine with different degrees of alcohol, so that the comparison would be more obvious, so I bought three bottles."

"You can do whatever you want, anyway, you're the one to drink the wine!"

Chu Chen chuckled and looked at the cup, only to find that the cup was already steaming. This phenomenon made him feel very novel.

Putting the glass up to his nose and smelling it, Chu Chen found that in addition to the smell of wine, there seemed to be a little more fragrance, which made him gasp lightly, then he hurriedly sniffed the wine in the bottle again, and found that It wasn't his illusion, the wine in the glass really became more fragrant.

"Achen, what's the matter?" Wu Ke couldn't help asking.

Chu Chen brought the wine glass to Wu Ke's nose, and said, "Smell, the wine in the glass is different from the wine in the bottle."

Wu Ke sniffed lightly, and exclaimed: "There is indeed a fragrance! But how could this happen? Could this cup be created out of nothing? And there is no record of this in the book!"

Chu Chen shook his head, looked at the glass of wine curiously, and before Wu Ke could react, he drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, leaving Wu Ke dumbfounded.

As soon as the wine was in his mouth, Chu Chen immediately felt that this wine did not have the astringent feeling of ordinary wine at all, but soft in the mouth, and besides the aroma of wine, there was actually a touch of sweetness, and the wine was It's warm, and it tastes even better when you drink it. The feeling is really wonderful.

After a while, Chu Chen swallowed all the wine with an expression of enjoyment, and exclaimed: "It's really good wine! You can feel a sweet and pure brewing feeling when you drink it, and it feels like drinking something that has been treasured. It is a good wine that has been aged for more than ten or twenty years.”

Although Wu Ke was very surprised and puzzled by this, and wanted to feel the same immediately, she still said with displeasure on her face: "Why are you so reckless, if poisonous substances are produced because of the wine in the cup, what should I do?" manage?"

Chu Chen scratched his head, and said with a hey smile: "Probably not. Didn't you listen to the boss? This cup was hidden in the palace before. If it was really poisonous, no one would dare to offer it to the emperor. dont you agree?"

Wu Ke snorted coldly: "Even if what you said makes sense, but before you do this kind of thing next time, can you tell me, it makes me worry to death!"

Chu Chen hugged Wu Ke into his arms, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I made you worry just now. I will definitely report to you before I do such a thing in the future. Don't be angry, okay?"

Wu Ke twisted his arm: "If you dare to do this again next time, I will ignore you!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I must pay attention!" Chu Chen smiled apologetically, "Let's pour another glass, and you come and taste it too."

As he spoke, Chu Chen poured the wine back into the glass. A few minutes later, he held the glass up to his nose and smelled it. It was still the same as before, with an extra fragrance.

"Coco, try it now."

Wu Ke took the wine glass, sniffed it lightly, it was indeed the same as before, then she took a sip, took a sip carefully, her eyes lit up immediately, and then quickly drank the rest of the wine in the glass go down.

After a while, she said with a full face of intoxication: "It's really delicious, I've never drunk such a delicious wine, I think it's just like a bottle of Lafite worth tens of thousands of dollars! "

Chu Chen shook his head and said: "I also drank the Lafite in 82, which is not as delicious at all. I think it is not a pure wine. It seems that besides grapes, other fruits are added in it. How do you feel? It seems that there is a little apple flavor in it, and it is like the sweetness of lychee, which is really indescribable."

Wu Ke thought about it, and there really must be that kind of fruit flavor in it. This made her curious, and she really couldn't understand why pouring wine into it would turn into another kind of wine. Could it be that the glass itself can do magic tricks? no?

Chu Chen didn't understand why such a strange thing happened, but he wasn't the kind of person who likes to go into a dead end. If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore, and then he opened a bottle of 13 degrees that he bought just now. Red wine and poured into the glass.

This time, it was exactly as they thought before. The wine in the glass heated up much faster than before. After two or three minutes, the wine in the glass, as recorded, was slightly hot.

Chu Chen couldn't help but took the cup in his hand, smelled it lightly, and the wine also had a fragrance, but this fragrance was stronger than before, and there was a hint of sweetness in it.

Wu Ke leaned forward to smell it, and after being attracted by the aroma, he couldn't help but take a sip, and then the intoxicated expression attracted Chu Chen to also take a sip.

After swallowing the wine in his mouth, Chu Chen sighed: "Unexpectedly, the taste of this glass of wine is better than the one just now, and the taste of the fruit is more prominent, including peaches, apricots, plums, apples, etc. Wait, it's like drinking mincemeat wine, it's no exaggeration to say that it tastes like fine nectar!"

Wu Ke nodded again and again: "Yes, a glass of wine, after only a few minutes, has become so delicious, this glass can't be some kind of magic weapon?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "There is no fairy artifact in this world. I think it should be made with a lost technique!"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke thought of one of the details, she frowned and said, "Ah Chen, I read in the book that if it is really a self-warming cup, the material of the cup should be celadon, why did we buy it?" Could it be jade?"

Chu Chen recalled it for a while, and found that it was true. He took out the wine glass and took a closer look. Now he feels that the glass is really made of celadon...
