The Golden County Magistrate
Chapter 21
Tang Yun nodded to He Jinyao with great satisfaction.
This is a good idea.
According to Fenglingwei, the salt collected by Chen Yan is not only of good quality, but also tastes better.
In this case, as long as we bring this up at the dinner table, we should be able to get something out of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan sent someone to tell the kitchen staff, and after a few people continued to chat for a while, the kitchen staff was ready.
In the restaurant of the back house, a table of dishes looked very appetizing.
Tang Yun looked at the various dishes on the table, a little dazed.
Most of these dishes she had seen before.
However, Tang Yun felt that these dishes seemed to be much better than the imperial chefs in the palace.
Could it be that the chefs in Qingshan County were better than the imperial chefs in the palace?
"Good skills! One glance can tell the level of the chefs in the mansion." He Jinyao praised.
Chen Yan chuckled and said nothing.
The edible oil of this era is mainly animal oil, supplemented by vegetable oil. The pressing process is really not good, and the pressed oil has a very poor color.
Chen Yan is a picky eater. He can make do with other aspects, but he can never make do with food.
Therefore, the edible oil used in the food in the county government is re-pressed by the county government according to the method proposed by Chen Yan. The dishes cooked are naturally far better than food in other places.
However, Chen Yan did not intend to run an edible oil business. The lack of food in the Great Zhou led to high costs for oil pressing, and the profit of oil pressing was not very high.
"Please sit down!" Chen Yan greeted.
Since it was time to eat, Tang Yun naturally couldn't continue to wear the veil.
When she took off the veil, Chen Yan looked over subconsciously, and then he was stunned for a moment.
In the past, Chen Yan thought that the four words "awesome" were too exaggerated.
Today, I completely understand what "awesome" means.
There is no flaw on that face.
With a cold face and a little makeup, she was the most beautiful woman Chen Yan had ever seen.
Even the stars he had seen on TV in his previous life were far from the woman in front of him.
Seeing Chen Yan staring at him without any scruples, Tang Yun's nameless anger rose again, and she couldn't help but cough twice!
"Ahem!"
Chen Yan finally reacted, smiled awkwardly, and ordered Lu Qing'er behind him.
"Qing'er, bring two bottles of wine brewed by me."
Soon, Lu Qing'er came in with two exquisite small bottles, first filled a glass for Chen Yan, and then filled a glass for Tang Yun, He Jinyao and Qing Yuan respectively.
In fact, Tang Yun and He Jinyao also brought several people.
However, according to the rules of the Great Zhou, they could not sit at the main table.
Chen Yan arranged a table of the same table outside the restaurant.
"It's not that I'm stingy. I don't have much home-brewed wine. I'll give it to you three to enjoy. As for those outside, they won't have this blessing." Chen Yan said with a smile.
"So, this wine is good?" He Jinyao immediately became interested.
Although He Jinyao is a civil official, in fact, because of the war that lasted for a full five years, none of the senior officials of the Great Zhou were pure civil officials.
For example, He Jinyao had been on the battlefield with Tang Yun a few years ago.
For example, Huang Liangge, the head of the civil officials of the Great Zhou who is nearly seventy years old, personally led people to allocate and rhyme food and grass.
Since he had been on the battlefield and stayed with the soldiers, he naturally couldn't help but be infected with some heroic spirit.
He Jinyao didn't like wine at first, but in the more than two years in the barracks, he drank with the soldiers below, and now he is also a good drinker.
As for Tang Yun, he doesn't drink normally, and he is not a wine lover, but he can also drink a few glasses, and his alcohol tolerance is not bad.
"According to my taste, the taste is OK, at least much better than most of the wines in Da Zhou." Chen Yan was very confident about this.
Due to the limitations of brewing technology, the wines in Da Zhou tasted as light as water, and were slightly sour and very hard to drink.
"In that case, you have to taste it carefully." He Jinyao immediately became interested.
Without much hesitation, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
A hot feeling filled his mouth in an instant, making He Jinyao almost vomit.
After holding back, He Jinyao swallowed it gently.
This hot feeling seemed to spread all over his body in an instant, rushing straight to the top of his head.
"Hiss, huh..."
He Jinyao exhaled a breath of wine, his eyes a little absent-minded.
After calming down, his eyes lit up and he said with emotion: "What a strong wine. Such a strong wine is something I have never seen or heard of before."
After praising it, He Jinyao took another sip. This time, he felt much better than before.
"Good wine, really good wine, without any sour taste, only the taste of wine, so pure, comparable to the sugar in wine. "
Tang Yun was immediately interested when she saw this.
She didn't like to drink, but she knew how to drink.
Since it was a rare fine wine in the world, she naturally wanted to try it.
Qing Yuan saw what Tang Yun meant and wanted to take a sip, but was interrupted by Tang Yun, who took the wine glass himself and took a sip.
The spicy burning sensation spread all over the body.
In an instant, Tang Yun felt as if all the pores in the body were swollen.
"Huh..."
Tang Yun's beautiful eyes widened, she hummed softly, and stared at Chen Yan with a surprised face.
It was really as He Jinyao said, this wine was comparable to the sugar in wine.
There was no impurity, the wine only tasted of wine.
"It's really good!"
Tang Yun exclaimed.
"With such a good wine, why did County Magistrate Chen say that there was no other business to do for the time being? "
Tang Yun put down the wine glass.
Such a strong liquor, it won't take much, I'm afraid you will get drunk.
Tang Yun hates getting drunk, because once drunk, many things will be out of control.
She doesn't like the feeling of losing control.
"After drinking, eat a few bites of food."
"As for this wine, I brew it for myself and don't plan to sell it to the outside world."
Chen Yan smiled.
I like to make money, but I care more about my head.
Now that the war in Da Zhou has just ended, there is a shortage of food everywhere. Isn't it unpleasant to sell wine at this time?
Not to mention that the price of food will be very high, and the profit will not be much.
Selling wine in this situation consumes too much food. If the court knows about it, it is hard to say whether you can save your life at that time.
Of course, this must not be said truthfully, you have to change the way.
"Now that Da Zhou is short of food, the people can't eat enough. Since I am an official appointed by the court, I naturally have to care about the people. If I brew less wine to drink because I am greedy, it is not a big deal, but if I sell it for money and consume a lot of grain, wouldn’t I indirectly harm the lives of those people who starved to death? "
Chen Yan said with a serious face and a loud voice.
