Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 228 Wine Tasting Contest (Part [-])
At the beginning of the game, players from the four countries presented each other with their own brewed wine.

Sitting in the referee's seat are all famous wine tasters, including Korean proverbs with no wine and no poetry.

It is impossible for the judges to taste each of the four kinds of wine. They will smell it first and judge the quality of the wine based on the aroma of the wine.

Then came the wine tasting, where the referee judged some people who were addicted to alcohol.

They drink too much and their taste nerves are damaged. Only a good glass of wine can make them really taste the good taste.

The four judges only used the tips of their chopsticks to order and taste the wine, and then rinsed their mouths several times, only in this way did they judge which wine was better.

The people of Beiju Kingdom are bold and unruly, and their wine is naturally extremely strong wine, which can stimulate people's taste buds to a certain extent.

Lan Jue is good at medicine, and the wine used is the essence of herbs, which may have the effect of restoring people's normal sense of taste.

Dongfangao's wine is very light, and it is really delicious when it is light to the extreme.

Wen's wines are strong, fragrant and fragrant. This kind of wine stimulates the sense of smell first, followed by the taste.

The four wines each have their own characteristics and peculiarities, and it is difficult to distinguish the high from the low at a time.

However, those who are addicted to alcohol have different reactions after drinking.

Some people like ice spirits from Beiju Kingdom, others like Qingnong Wine from Dongyue Kingdom, and some like Rumeng Wine from Nanyan Kingdom.

But what people like the most is Wen's Fanghua wine.

Just because this wine brewed with peach and plum flowers, people can't help but think of their best love at the beginning of their love.

Although Gu Xiangsi can't drink, she can smell the aroma of wine. After smelling it, she opened her red lips as if intoxicated, and said: "Sandalwood starry eyes, as beautiful as peaches and plums. In my heart, I don't want to give up. Crying is afraid of being guessed, and laughing is tasteless. With a heavy heart, it is in people's hearts, a Linqi oath."

This is "Dian Crimson Lips" by Chao Buzhi in the Song Dynasty. She smelled this pot of Fanghua wine, which was the feeling in this poem.

"Good words!" Han Yan thought that Gu Xiangsi was just a little clever before, but after getting in touch with her for a long time, he found that she had a lot of knowledge and seemed to have read a lot of books, but he had never heard of those books, as if they were left by some seniors , Inadvertently learned by her.

These people who drank Fanghua wine felt this way. They couldn't explain it clearly before, but now they understand what Princess Zhen said.

Both Lan Jue and Dongfang Ao looked at Gu Xiangsi. Before, they thought this woman was a bit fierce, very strong, not gentle at all, and a bit deviant.

But looking at her now, in fact, she is very beautiful and gentle, graceful and dignified when she sits quietly, like a white magnolia flower in spring, or like an orchid grass deep in the misty and green hills in the mountains, elegant and delicate.

But under these conditions, she must never open her mouth to speak. Once she speaks, it will really destroy everything and make people's beautiful dreams instantly shattered.

"Go ahead! It's too windy today." Gu Xiangsi wrapped her snow-green cloak tightly around her body a little coldly. To be honest, she doesn't like outdoor competitions at all. It's too cold in winter and too hot in summer. Suffer to die.

The expressions of Lan Jue and Dongfang Ao are too indescribable.

As I said earlier, this princess of the town is noble and elegant, but in the blink of an eye, the beautiful dream you saw was instantly shattered into slag.

The second level of the competition is wine tasting, and the pilot is the tongues of the four contestants.

Gu Xiangsi wanted to come in person this time, after she entered a screen, she began to tinker with the drinks.

In fact, it is to mix a lot of wine into a cup of wine bit by bit. This wine cup is very small, a tall white porcelain wine cup, and the wine in it is estimated to be one sip.

There are only three drops of each type of wine, there are nineteen types of wine, enjoy it!
Four cups of wine were served, each of them picked up a cup and sipped carefully, the more they tasted, the more they frowned.

They had tasted more than 20 kinds of wine before, but they remembered the taste, and they didn't forget it after two days.

But... there are too many kinds of wine here, right?How to distinguish it completely.

"I didn't ask you to make a complete distinction. Whoever tastes the most wines wins." Gu Xiangsi had no chance of cheating this time, because, among the judges, each of the four countries produced one person, and the nineteen kinds of wine were also from the four countries. The judges and her each picked four kinds, and she picked three kinds. No one knew what the rest of the wines were before the wines were served.

The four of them almost finished tasting one kind of wine, and they still haven't tasted several wines.

Luo E, a big man from Beiju Kingdom, was really impatient, so he put down the wine cup first, wrote down the types of wine he could guess, then looked at the four judges and Gu Xiangsi, and said frankly: "I can taste That's all. Prince, princess, if Luo E loses, don't blame Luo E, Luo E really tried his best."

He has never drank wine with such complex ingredients since he grew up, so it is really difficult to taste how much wine is mixed in it.

Bei Gongli is also a bold person, he looked at Luo Elang and said: "No problem! We men of Beiju Kingdom can afford to lose and let go."

"Luo E, even if you lose, I can't blame you. I can only say that sister Wangfei is too powerful to find so much wine." Bei Gongzhen's words were comforting Luo E, and she really admired her in her heart. The wine culture of Xiga country.

I heard from Sister Wangfei that the wine she found is just the tip of the iceberg of wine culture!

Luo E was comforted by their lord and princess, he just laughed out loud, and when he turned his head to look at Wen, he scratched his head and said with a simple and honest smile: "It's too bullying for us three big men to fight against you and a little girl." I'm dead. Big sister, if I can't win, I hope you can win, I can't really let you, a little girl, be bullied?"

"It's not certain who bullies whom!" Wen's face was as cold as ice, and she could hear the contempt for Luo E's words. These men just look down on women like this.

Luo E didn't know what to say now, didn't he say that women in Xihe country are troublesome and prefer men's demeanor?Isn't he graceful enough?Why are you making people angry again?

I don't understand, maybe, it's really like what Xihe Guo said - a woman's heart is a needle in the sea.

Dongfang Ao also put down the wine cup and began to write down the answer.His cousin and daughter-in-law are definitely a terrifying woman. He will definitely keep her at a respectful distance in the future and never contact her again.

Lan Jue and Wen also put down their wine glasses and wrote down their answers.

The desks of the four of them are all one meter apart, and no one should try to peek at someone else's answer.

The person who supported this competition was Hua Wang. He first picked up the paper from the tray in the hands of the maidservant of Beiju Kingdom, opened it and read with a smile: "Master Luo E of Beiju Kingdom's answer is—Sang Luo Wine, Chrysanthemum Wine , Zhuyeqing wine, Tusu wine, Yuanzheng wine, milk wine, Huangfeng wine, Dukang wine, sweet-scented osmanthus wine, Lanling wine, wine, a total of ten kinds of wine."

There was a burst of booing from the crowd in the audience, I'm really sorry, they really don't know that Xihe Country has so many kinds of wine, many of which are unheard of!
King Hua picked up the paper on the maidservant's tray of Dongyue Kingdom again, opened it and read aloud, "Fengxiang King Dongfang Ao of Dongyue Kingdom's answer is—Sang Luo Wine, Xinfeng Wine, Chrysanthemum Wine, Cornel Wine, Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, Yuan Zhengjiu, Songhua Wine, Milk Wine, Luofuchun, Dukang Wine, Sweet-scented Osmanthus, Lanling Wine, Wine, a total of [-] kinds of wine."

"Does Xihe Kingdom have so many wines?" Li Siyan was stunned. She seemed to have only drank Sangluo wine, chrysanthemum wine, dogwood wine, pine wine, and Huangfeng wine since she grew up. , Dukang wine, sweet-scented osmanthus, Lanling wine, and wine!
Gu Yuyan once had a party with Li Chunhe, Su Jiuzhao, and Yu Liuzhao, and tasted countless fine wines, but only drank less than fifteen kinds!

King Hua picked up the paper from the maidservant's tray in Nanyan Kingdom again, nodded his head in appreciation and smiled and said, "The answer of King Lan Jue of South Rong of Nanyan Kingdom is - Sangluo Wine, Xinfeng Wine, Chrysanthemum Wine, Cornel Wine, Bamboo Leaf Green Liquor, pine mash wine, Tusu wine, Yuanzheng wine, Songhua wine, milk wine, Huangfeng wine, Luofuchun, Dukang wine, sweet-scented osmanthus, Lanling wine, wine, a total of sixteen kinds of wine."

There was a clapping of palms on and off the stage, this King Nanrong's tongue is really strong, he can taste sixteen kinds of wine in a small cup of wine, amazing!
Gu Yuyan's hand hurts now, she turned her head and looked at his mother with tears in her eyes, you are always nervous, why are you pinching his arm!

The Han family was really nervous. If the Wen family could win this time, it would definitely be a relief for all the women in Xihe country!
In her whole life, she admired the elder sister the most, because the elder sister was able to protect the family and the country, and was admired by all people. How much she wished that she could become such a self-improving woman.

Now that the second sister has this opportunity to shine, can she not be nervous about the second sister?

King Hua took the paper from the maidservant's tray of Xihe Kingdom, his eyes lit up, and his fingers trembled slightly due to the excitement.He looked at everyone in the audience, cleared his throat and read: "The answer of Xihe Guo Wenshu is - Sang Luo Wine, Xinfeng Wine, Chrysanthemum Wine, Cornel Wine, Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, Pine Mash Wine, Tusu Wine, Nanzhu Wine , Yuanzheng wine, Songhua wine, milk wine, Huangfeng wine, Luofuchun wine, Dukang wine, sweet-scented osmanthus wine, Lanling wine, wine, a total of seventeen kinds."

"What are the other two wines? Sister Wangfei." Bei Gongzhen wanted to know what the last two wines were, no matter how excited and cheering everyone was.

Seeing her curious face, Gu Xiangsi smiled and said, "Except for Sangluo Wine, Xinfeng Wine, Chrysanthemum Wine, Cornel Wine, Green Bamboo Leaf Wine, Pine Fermented Wine, Tusu Wine, Nanzhu Wine, Yuanzheng Wine, Songhua Wine, Milk Wine, Wine, Huangfeng Wine, Luofuchun Wine, Dukang Wine, Sweet Osmanthus Noodles, Lanling Wine, Wine, and other seventeen kinds of wine, there are two other wines, namely Qiyin Wine and Sanwei Wine"

"Wow! You have so much wine in Xihe Country. I'll have to taste it later." Bei Gongzhen likes to drink, especially spirits, but after hearing about these wines, she became a little curious about them. , what will it be like.

Luo E applauded and praised Wen and said: "Amazing! Big sister, you are the most wine-savvy woman I have ever met in Luo E. No! You are the most powerful tongue and wine-making ability I have ever seen. Admire me !"

This time, Wen's didn't hate Luo E any more, but replied coldly: "Thank you, I promise."

"Don't give in, don't give in, big sister, you are too powerful!" Luo E said with a bold and honest wave of his hands.

Wen Shi wanted to hate him again, but she was just being polite, did he really think it was the big men who gave her a little girl?

Lan Jue didn't wear a mask today, on a flawless face that looked like a jade sculpture carved from ice, with a warm smile on her lips, she bowed her hands to Wen in admiration, without saying anything.

If it is said that Dongfangao's beauty is seemingly soft, it is actually a very aggressive beauty.

Then, the beauty of Lan Jue is that beauty is illusory and unreal, giving people a feeling of being too perfect, but it is like watching the beautiful scenery of a mirage.

It's no wonder why Lan Jue always wears a mask. When his face is exposed, everyone looks at him as if they are looking at flowers in the fog, illusory and unreal.

The judges of the four countries read the answers to show fairness.

Sure enough, Wen's produced one more type of wine than Lan Jue, which is really a narrow victory.

However, Wen's strength really made everyone present admire him very much.

Winning two games in a row is enough.

But in the third game, it was finally on the stage.

No one has tried this wine mixing before. If there are so many wines, if the mix is ​​not good, the taste will become very strange.

In particular, the wines in the Central Plains are different from foreign wines. Most of them are spicy and slightly bitter wines.

And this call back to drinking, only wine is allowed, and other hole flutes are not allowed to spoil the taste of the wine.

It is also because of this that there is no bartending taste of exotic wine.

The four of them are very serious, using the various wines they brought to season a glass of wine that is not bad to drink, but has its own characteristics.

Beiju country wine is strong, several kinds of wine are added together, milk wine and fruit wine are added, it really has a snowy flavor.

Dongfang Ao doesn't like too strong wine. The wine he chooses is a rare fragrance wine in Dongyue Kingdom.

Lan Jue still used the medicinal wine. He chose several bitter medicinal wines, and finally added some more mellow wines to form a glass of ice wine.

Wen's wanted to promote flower wine from the very beginning, so this time she made a pot of Baihua Niang on the spot, put it in a silver pot, and warmed it on a small red clay stove. You can smell its fragrance without opening the pot.

After warming the wine, put it in ice for a while. After the alternation of hot and cold, the wine became no longer fragrant and pungent for some reason, but a faint scent of flowers floating in the air. Everyone smelled it and felt like being in the air. The feeling of being among the flowers.

"Very fragrant wine, like a beauty!" Although Luo E is a big bastard, after smelling Wen's Hundred Flowers Brewing, he really felt that this wine is like a beauty, gentle and fragrant, affectionate and ruthless .

Lan Jue and Dongfang Ao also have the same feeling as Luo E, that they are like the wine of a beauty, if there is an indistinct fragrance, it is just like the beauty who is far away.

Four sommeliers from various countries brought their wines to the judges' table and put them on the table.

Luo E stretched out his hand pot to pour four glasses of wine, held the pot and said, "This glass of wine is called Heroes' Tears. It refers to the tears of homesickness shed by soldiers on the battlefield when they faced the enemy on the battlefield. This battle is life and death. Two vast expanses, how many people can return together."

"Drunk lying on the battlefield Lord Mo Xiao, how many people have fought in ancient times!" Gu Xiangsi held up the wine glass and smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that this princess has no chance to taste the tears of heroes."

"Concubine Zhen, based on your sentence 'Grand Mo laughs drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought back in ancient times'. I, Luo E, should give you the formula of hero tears." Luo E is a bold and honest man, said Sending Gu Xiangsi Fang Zi, I immediately went to find a pen to write it down.

The corner of Gu Xiangsi's mouth twitched. Facing such a straightforward and enthusiastic person, it was really hard to resist.

However, she would never refuse something that someone kindly gave her.

Dongfang Ao poured four cups of wine from the pot, lowered his eyes a little sadly and said: "This wine is called Chu Xin, the most difficult thing in life is not to change the original mind."

"Never forget your original intention, you will always be there." Lan Jue looked at Dongfang Ao's side face, and sighed in his heart, can't he forget it, can't he let it go?
well!They all couldn't let go of that person, otherwise, they wouldn't have dragged on until now, and they would never have married.

Lan Jue's wine is called Ku Rong.

Although grass and trees are ruthless, they can still grow because of their dependence.How to have the same branches and leaves, each has its own withering and prosperous.

This is the wine he mixed for the indifference among their brothers, even if he has adopted the Wu clan as king, his elder brothers are still more wary of him, and have never had any brotherhood with him.

Everyone is more looking forward to Wen's Baihua Niang, Baihua Niang, there are many brewers, and each wine has its own differences.

This is like cooking, with the same ingredients and condiments, the same dish made by different chefs will have different tastes, and the same is true for Baihua Niangbian.

Wen lifted up the silver carved wine jug that looked like a vase, poured four glasses of wine like a white porcelain wine cup, the color was bright and clear, without any turbid impurities.Holding the silver pot in both hands, she said calmly to everyone present: "This is—beauty drunk."

"Beauty tears, stay drunk." Gu Xiangsi said with a smile again.

This wine was not only tasted by the referee, but also by the onlookers in the audience.

The four jugs of wine were divided, one cup for each person, but it was quickly finished.

This time, it is not the four judges who have the final say, but everyone votes together to determine the winner.

This time, not only the people of Xihe Kingdom, but also the team members brought by each of the three countries were present one by one. This is also for the sake of fairness.

It's a pity that Gu Xiangsi couldn't taste a sip of fine wine today, but he didn't drink it and was unwilling to throw it away, so he could only drink it to the man beside him.

As I said before, Xiling Yan is not good at drinking, and she will get drunk after a few drinks.

Now, he is also drunk, but he doesn't show his face when drinking, and he looks sober when he looks at people, but in fact, he is already drunk.

When Li Mingjing saw Xiling Yan resting his head on one hand and staring at the bartender of the Four Kingdoms without moving his eyes, his heart broke. Xiling Yan was a little drunk this time.

Gu Xiangsi had seen Xiling Yan get drunk once, and she couldn't laugh or cry that nonsense, she didn't know that Xiling Yan, who was seriously drunk, would be as motionless as a stone sculpture.

Li Mingjing got up and walked over, while everyone was throwing flowers, he bent down and said to Gu Xiangsi in a low voice: "My lord is drunk, my lord, get someone to help him home quickly, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Gu Xiangsi turned her head to look at Li Mingjing, but she saw Li Mingjing pointing at her side like a ghost, she looked back, huh?What about people?
