After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the food lovers all over the country were shocked

Chapter 470: You Can Also Drink

Princess Lejia took the wine glass and took a sip: "This wine tastes very special. It's the first time I've drunk this kind of wine with frankincense. I didn't expect that Prefect Lin has the skill to make wine."

Zhou Ying felt the sweet aroma of wine in her mouth: "I have secretly drunk the mare's milk wine that my father brought back before, and it tasted pretty good too."

Princess Lejia: "When I was a child, I also drank my grandmother's wine secretly and was punished by her to copy scriptures."

As she spoke, she picked up the wine jug and poured herself another glass.

"In fact, I didn't like drinking alcohol before. I thought it was spicy and unpalatable. Then one day I tried fruit wine, and I thought it tasted pretty good. Until now, I still prefer fruit wine to other kinds of alcohol."

Zhou Ying: "So you always make fruit wine."

Princess Lejia: "After all, the wine you brew yourself is different."

Although the wine she brewed was not the best, it tasted more fragrant.

My grandmother and mother also like the wine she brews.

Zhou Ying nodded, agreeing: "The wine and food you brew yourself are indeed different from others."

The smile in Princess Lejia's eyes became even brighter: "Aying really understands me."

The two men felt a sense of mutual admiration and raised their glasses and clinked them together at the same time.

Shen Huazheng listened to them talking with a smile on her face while tasting the goat milk wine in her glass.

The milk wine tastes smooth, mellow but not strong, and has a very unique aroma.

It has both a rich milky aroma and a rich wine aroma, leaving a lasting aftertaste.

Princess Lejia suddenly looked at Shen Huazheng: "By the way, Zhengzheng, didn't you say before that mutton can also be used to make wine?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ying also remembered.

Earlier, when the three of them were talking about what food and drinks could be made with the mutton and goat milk here, Shen Huazheng mentioned that mutton can not only be made into various foods, but can also be used to make wine.

When Zhou Ying and Princess Le Jia heard this, they were both surprised.

But before they could ask clearly, Shen Huazheng was suddenly called away by people from Sinong Temple.

As more things happened later, they forgot about it.

Of course I have to ask clearly now that I think of it today.

Shen Huazheng didn't expect Princess Lejia's thoughts to be so jumpy. She was just clinking glasses with Zhou Ying, and suddenly she asked about this.

Zhou Ying also asked: "Zheng'er, can mutton really be made into wine?"

Although Zheng'er would never lie to them, she still felt it was a bit strange to make wine with mutton.

Are the steps for brewing mutton wine the same as other wines?

Shen Huazheng put down the wine glass: "Of course. Mutton plus glutinous rice and other ingredients can be brewed into mutton wine. However, mutton wine is divided into white mutton wine and lamb wine..."

There are records about mutton wine in "Beishan Jiujing", "Shouqin Yanglao Xinshu" and "Shilin Guangji".

However, the "Beishan Jiu Jing" introduces "Bai Yang Wine" - made with tender mutton with fat and bones, glutinous rice and wine yeast, which is brewed in the last month of winter and produced in the early summer.

The brewed wine is thick, with mutton fat floating on the surface, and is sweet and intoxicating.

Different from the mutton wine recorded in "Beishan Jiujing", the wine introduced in "Shouqin Yanglao Xinshu" and "Shilin Guangji" is lamb wine.

Compared with Aries wine, Lamb wine has more ingredients and the fermentation degree is much lighter, so it only takes ten days to brew.

Of course, the taste of these two wines is also different.

The Aries wine has a strong aroma, while the Lamb wine tastes more like sweet wine.

Shen Huazheng recalled the mutton wine she had drunk before: "The finished mutton wine is as white as snow and tastes sweet and mellow. It also has the effect of dispelling cold and nourishing the body."

After listening to Shen Huazheng's description, Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia became very interested in the mutton wine made from mutton.

It turns out that in addition to being made into various foods, mutton can also be added to wine.

Princess Lejia couldn't help but say, "Zhengzheng, there's a lot of mutton here, why don't we brew some mutton wine and try it?"

Mutton wine sounded so special, and she really wanted to taste what it tasted like.

Zhou Ying: "Yes, Zheng'er, tell us how to make it. Let's make mutton wine together."

Shen Huazheng smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll make lamb wine."

They can't stay here for long, so it's better to brew it quickly in ten days.

Princess Lejia smiled and assured: "Zhengzheng, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you this time."

She is definitely not as good as Zheng Zheng and A Ying in cooking skills, but when it comes to winemaking, she does have some experience.

Shen Huazheng: "You usually don't cause any trouble and are always able to help."

Every time Aning entered the kitchen, she would stand aside and learn, and also help out.

Moreover, her cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and sometimes she can even cook one or two simple dishes.

Princess Lejia was delighted to receive praise from her good friend.

She took another sip of goat's milk wine and suddenly thought of the letter sent by Marquis Wenxin.

"By the way, you must pay extra attention to your safety during this period. Especially Zheng Zheng, no matter where you go, you must have guards with you."

Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying paused in their drinking and then nodded.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jingning put down the memorial in his hand and laughed.

"It seems that sending Shen Huazheng to the northwest as an imperial envoy was the right decision this time."

An Desheng offered the teacup at the right time: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Emperor Jingning took the teacup and took a sip.

Originally, he just wanted Shen Huazheng to go to the northwest to do some practical work so that his resume would look better.

If you want to promote her in the future, of course she must have some achievements that can convince the public.

But unexpectedly, Shen Huazheng gave him such a big surprise.

In addition to potato cultivation, she also developed "three-dimensional cultivation" suitable for the Northwest.

Just by looking at the description in the report, Emperor Jingning could already imagine how shocking that "sky vegetable garden" was.

The decision to let Shen Huazheng serve as an official in the court was indeed the right one.

If such a talent cannot serve the country, it will definitely be a loss to Daliang.

Perhaps before long, the Northwest will no longer be the same Northwest as before.

Thinking about the northwest, Emperor Jingning thought of another thing, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

It seems that Daliang has been too gentle in recent years, making people feel that he is easy to bully.

Emperor Jingning put down the teacup, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

If you dare to reach out to someone else's home to cause trouble, be prepared to be chopped off.
