The most powerful god in the city

Chapter 432

Ji Suo's ancestral residence in the northern suburbs of Xuancheng, good at brewing fine wine, the name of the wine is Lao Chun.

According to historical records: during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Xuancheng was full of the wind of burning and brewing, and there were more than 100 large and small workshops, among which Ji Suo was famous.

Ji Suo's ancestors were high-ranking officials in the court, but because they were trapped by traitors, they were forced to hide among the residents and make wine as a business. Soon after Ji Suo inherited the ancestral business, the family suffered an accident, and went to Xuancheng, and found that the Jingting Mountain in Xuancheng has a pleasant climate and abundant rainfall, and he likes that the soft mountain spring of Jingting Mountain is the best water source for winemaking, so he settled at the foot of Jingting Mountain, opened a winemaking workshop, and named the finished wine after himself, which is the old spring wine.

Soon, the old spring wine of Ji Su soon came out, famous in the south of the Yangtze River, after which the brewing process used by the old spring wine of Ji Su was inherited for future generations, and developed into a typical representative of traditional Chinese handmade brewing, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, appointed Ji Su old spring wine as the royal banquet wine, and gave the name of Xuan wine.

The poet Du Mu of the late Tang Dynasty once came to Xuancheng with Xuancheng to observe the envoy Shen Chuanshi, and when Han Yu, the head of the eight masters of the Tang Dynasty, studied Xuancheng, they all had a soft spot for the old spring wine.

What's more interesting is that, according to research, the work "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" by Gu Hongzhong, a famous figure painter in the Southern Tang Dynasty, is based on a scene in Han Xizai's life in Xuancheng.

Han Xizai was originally a native of Shanbeihai, a Jinshi at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and a northern nobleman, who fled south because of his confidante, and was taken in by Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and wanted to let him be the prime minister. But Han Xizai, who was in adversity, pretended to be crazy and indulged in wine every day in order to avoid political conflicts with Xiao Han Ting of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

He learned about Xuancheng's old spring wine from Li Bai's poems, and specially rushed to Xuancheng, where he became particularly interested in the old spring wine, and only drank wildly with his family every day. Li Yu only thought that Han Xizai's life was too debauched, and in order to persuade him to serve the imperial court, he ordered Gu Hongzhong to make a picture of Han Xizai's Night Banquet, wanting to remind him to be modest.

Some people say that without Ji Suo's old spring wine, there would be no eternal masterpiece in the painting world "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", which is not without a certain reason.

In the second year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, occasionally read the poems of the poet Li Bai of the previous dynasty, and inadvertently read the poem "Crying Xuancheng Good Brewing Ji Suo", and ordered to send someone to Xuancheng to get the old spring wine, and applauded after drinking.

Zhao Kuangyin liked wine, so he followed a holy decree to let the Xuancheng official mansion send the old spring wine into the palace for the imperial banquet every New Year's holiday. It's just that the officials of the DPRK and China thought that Ji Suo was too arrogant to name the wine with his own life, so he named the wine Xuanjiu.

Xuanjiu is clear and transparent like crystal, poured into the cup viscous hanging cup, the aroma is pure like a orchid, the entrance is mellow, rich and sweet, the aftertaste and aftertaste are long, and it has a unique style.

He became acquainted with the poet Li Bai with his famous wine, and their story was recounted by later generations of celebrities. Ji Chau achieved Xuanjiu, and Xuanjiu also made Ji Chau famous through the ages.

······

Xuanjiu is famous because of its geographical environment.

But the environment of the mountain and river space is better and sufficient.

Therefore, the fine wine brewed by Ji Sue was named by Zhou Ye - jade liquid.

As for where is the elixir?

Of course, it's made by Yidi.

Yi Di was a winemaker in the Xia Yu era, and according to legend, he was the earliest winemaker in China. Qin Xiang Lü Buwei presided over the compilation of "Lü's Spring and Autumn" has "Yidi Wine".

Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty wrote "Warring States Policy: Wei Ce" recorded that "in the past, the emperor ordered Yi Di to make wine and be beautiful, enter Yu, drink and be willing, and said: 'In later generations, there will be people who will die in their country with wine'.

There is also a saying that Yi Di invented wine mash, and Shaokang (i.e., Du Kang) invented rice wine.

Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty mentioned in "Shuowen Jiezi Wine Note" that Yi Di made wine mash, and Xia Yu felt that it was too good to drink it, and he was afraid of indulging in it, so he alienated Yi Di.

"Taiping Yulan" quotes "Shiben": "Yi Di began to make wine mash and changed five flavors. Shaokang is a rice wine." "Moromi" is a type of "moromi lees" made by fermenting glutinous rice. The sex is soft, its taste is sweet, and it is mostly produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Nowadays, many families still have homemade mash. The mash is white and delicate, the thick paste can be used as a staple food, and the clear juice on it is quite close to wine.

The Jin Dynasty Jiangtong's "Wine Message" believes that "the rise of wine is from the emperor, or Yun Yidi, a called Du Kang", since the time of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, there are a variety of wine-making methods popular among the people, it may be Yidi or Du Kang to summarize these wine-making methods, so that they will be passed on to future generations.

Huaxia even came up with an award called the Yidi Award.

Yidi is a very good winemaker.

···· (Li Qianhao) ··

The liquor made by Yidi is called - Qiong Jelly.

Of course, the task that Zhou Ye gave the two people was not only that.

Their main task is to make fruit wine.

Because there are too many fruits in the mountain and river space.

Throw away the waste.

It's better to make sake.

Zhou Ye asked them to make "Baiwei Fruit Wine", and there were various flavors of fruit wine.

In addition, Zhou Ye also recruited a famous French winemaker, who is specifically responsible for grape wine.

Now in the space, there are quite a lot of wines.
