Dragon's Origin

Chapter 406: Brewing Wine (Part 2)

The notification had just been sent to Marquis Lu Wen, and the next day, Marquis Lu Wen came to the door. Of course, he still brought his precious darling, Miss Ling'er.

Mei'er was still with the officials handling the paperwork for freeing those women, so she wasn't at the mansion. Miss Ling'er didn't see Mei'er and naturally asked about it. She knew that as long as Wang Sheng was at the Marquis's residence, Mei'er would definitely be by Wang Sheng's side, but she wasn't there today, which was strange.

Wang Sheng casually mentioned that he had freed that group of beautiful, skilled women. He only said that he had freed them, without saying much more.

"What do you want to do?" Miss Ling'er immediately became interested. Several hundred beautiful, skilled female slaves were freed just like that? Such a grand gesture? Could it be that Wang Sheng didn't like beautiful women? Or was Mei'er jealous? Anyway, as long as she saw Wang Sheng in trouble, Miss Ling'er was definitely happy. She immediately asked teasingly, "Did you make Sister Mei'er unhappy?"

"I just want them to serve me better," Wang Sheng rolled his eyes at Miss Ling'er and gave an explanation that wasn't really an explanation.

"Hmph! Men are all the same!" Ling'er immediately understood that Wang Sheng was bestowing favor, making those beautiful, skilled women more loyal to Wang Sheng out of gratitude. She immediately pouted and made a sweeping statement.

"That's right, they're all the same," Wang Sheng naturally picked up the thread, nodding heavily, and then turned to Marquis Lu Wen: "Brother Lu, Ling'er said you're not a good person either."

"Nonsense!" Ling'er immediately became anxious. She could say anyone was not a good person, but she had never thought that her own lord would be included. She immediately defended herself. Her anxious appearance made Wang Sheng and Marquis Lu Wen laugh heartily.

Teased by two unscrupulous guys, one of whom was her own lord, she couldn't lash out. Mei'er stood up angrily, shouting that she wanted to see Sister Mei'er. Wang Sheng smiled and directly asked Steward Wang to take Ling'er to the Wang residence not far away. Maybe because they were both women, they would have more in common.

Next, Wang Sheng and Marquis Lu Wen began to talk about serious matters. During this period, although Yu Baozhai hadn't scoured the world, at least Yu Baozhai had a batch of almost all the famous wines in the world, and they had all been sent to the capital. Today, Marquis Lu Wen had come to deliver this batch of wine samples.

While the two were talking, the servants Marquis Lu Wen brought and the servants of the Wang residence had already moved cart after cart of wine jars into the courtyard of the Marquis's residence. Each wine jar was sealed with yellow mud, and the outside was covered with a thick layer. But even so, a fragrance of wine still permeated through the wine jars, and the huge courtyard was filled with a mixed aroma of wine.

"Each type was sent over in a jar, all with markings, and all with detailed records, where it was produced, and what it was made of," Marquis Lu Wen pointed to the hundreds of jars of fine wine and said to Wang Sheng: "Just waiting for Brother Wang to choose."

Wang Sheng was not polite. This was originally what he had requested. Wang Sheng didn't have the ability to brew wine out of thin air, but he could improve the quality of one or several fine wines.

What method could be used to select fine wine? First look, second smell, third taste. Wang Sheng simply asked the chef of the Marquis's residence to make some snacks to go with the wine, and then together with Marquis Lu Wen, he began to taste this batch of fine wines one by one.

The guards of the Marquis's residence opened the wine jars one by one, and poured out a little of each type, first forcibly feeding some to a batch of small animals such as cats and dogs that had been prepared in advance. Only if there were no problems after drinking for a while could it be sent to Wang Sheng and Marquis Lu Wen's wine table.

Wang Sheng was willing to believe that Marquis Lu Wen would not have the intention to harm him at this time, but the guards didn't think so. So they checked very strictly, and Wang Sheng wouldn't say much. As for Marquis Lu Wen, he wouldn't have other ideas either, if it were him, he would probably do the same.

It was just the steps just mentioned, taking the wine bowl, the two observed together, then smelled the aroma, and finally tasted it. Beside the two, there was a maid responsible for preparing gargling water for the two, serving the two to taste the wine and then gargle.

While tasting, the two commented, and not far away, there were two people who wrote quickly, quickly recording what the two said.

"Pick this one out first." When Wang Sheng encountered a suitable taste, he would ask someone to record it separately as the result of the initial inspection.

Marquis Lu Wen also picked out his favorites first. However, the results of the two selections were recorded separately to avoid confusion.

Even if only one sip of each wine was tasted, but from opening the jar to inspection to sending it to the two's mouths, and then to appreciation and commentary, it would take half a quarter of an hour. With hundreds of wines, even if the two didn't do anything else all day, they would only taste about a hundred types. The rest would still take a few days to select.

Fortunately, on the first day, Wang Sheng roughly selected seven or eight types from them, Marquis Lu Wen selected more, a dozen types. He believed that when the entire selection was completed, there could be dozens of preliminary selections that needed to be carefully selected.

Marquis Lu Wen really admired Wang Sheng's pickiness. Some wines, in Marquis Lu Wen's mouth, were already rare and fine wines, but Wang Sheng just shook his head, without even the intention of keeping them. Marquis Lu Wen had to ask to keep them himself. He really didn't know how high Wang Sheng's requirements for wine were, he didn't even nod at such fine wine.

Little did he know that the fine wines Wang Sheng had tasted on Earth were many times more delicious than these excellent wines in the Yuanhun world, which had not yet formed an industrialized system and were only brewed using the oldest brewing methods. The only ones he kept were those that had a hint of flavor similar to some of the wines Wang Sheng had drunk, to see if they could be brewed and refined into something better.

The appreciation level of the two in this regard was simply not on the same level. This can't be blamed on Marquis Lu Wen, to describe it with a fashionable modern word from Earth, Marquis Lu Wen has an incurable era limitation in this regard.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

For several days, they were doing this. In the following days, Mei'er had finished her work at the Wang residence and immediately rushed back to the Marquis's residence, and together with Ling'er, replaced the two maids who helped prepare the gargling water, serving the two to taste the wine.

Finally, dozens of fine wines were initially selected. Yu Baozhai also prepared a place for brewing wine, just waiting for further refinement and then brewing. At this time, Wang Sheng stopped first, and then summoned several grandmasters of woodworking and blacksmithing, and began to build the equipment he needed. Several formation masters prepared by Yu Baozhai also began to prepare the formation according to Wang Sheng's requirements, and everyone began to get busy.

"Sister Tantai and the others told them what you meant." Mei'er and Wang Sheng finally had time to be alone. Taking advantage of this time, Mei'er reported the situation at the Wang residence to Wang Sheng: "Everyone is very grateful to you."
