Putting down the bowl in his hand, Wang Jian did not even have the time to open his mouth to speak when his face flushed red in an instant.
"Cough cough, this, this wine! How exciting!" Wang Jian gave him a thumbs up and only managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time.
Meng Fan rolled his eyes." I told you not to drink like this. Isn't this ruining my good wine?"”
No matter how good your alcohol tolerance is, you should restrain yourself in front of this young master's 40 to 50 percent white wine, right?
In ancient times, the level of alcohol tolerance was measured according to the alcohol at that time.
At this time, due to the lack of brewing skills, the wine was basically only about 10 degrees, which was similar to the beer of the future.
That was how the phrase " one won't get drunk after a thousand glasses " came about.
If it was distilled white wine, Meng Fan was impressed that someone could drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk!
Seeing Wang Jian shouting so loudly, Ying Zheng became much more cautious.
He picked up the bowl in front of him and took a whiff. The strong aroma of wine instantly filled his nose. Before it even entered his mouth, Ying Zheng already understood why Wang Jian, who had a good alcohol tolerance, would have such a reaction.
This wine was indeed strong!
"Good wine!" Ying Zheng praised, then picked up the bowl and took a small sip.
As the wine entered his mouth, he was sure that Meng Fan's wine was the best he had ever drunk in his life!
The wine sent from all over Xianyang Palace was far inferior to this wine!
After sipping the wine, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask Meng Fan,""Little friend, how did you brew this wine?”
"What's wrong? Do you want to learn?" Meng Fan grinned." I can teach you how to make wine, but when you sell it, I'll have to collect some patent fees."”
"Royalty?" Ying Zheng was taken aback. This kid was always able to come up with words that he did not understand.
Meng Fan patiently explained." It's like I'm investing in your wine business, but I don't have to pay for it. I only have to pay for the technology."”
"So you're trying to get something for nothing!”Ying Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry after he understood.
"How can you be called a white wolf with nothing?”Meng Fan was serious." I've got skills!" Think about it, if you didn't have the technology I provided, would you be able to brew such a good wine? If the wine isn't good, will anyone still buy it?"
After hearing Meng Fan's explanation, Ying Zheng felt that it made sense.
"Alright, alright, I can't win against you in an argument. We'll do as you say. You provide the technology, and I'll pay.”Ying Zheng compromised.
If Meng Fan's sweet potatoes could produce four or five thousand catties per mu, he wouldn't mind opening a wine shop in Xianyang City in the name of the royal family.
The wine that Meng Fan brewed was indeed good. He wouldn't have to worry about selling it in Xianyang City, and he would be able to add some money to his own treasury. Ying Zheng was happy to do so.
" But if you want me to pay for it," Ying Zheng continued," it depends on whether the sweet potatoes really have the yield you mentioned.”
"Alright, let's wait and see!" Meng Fan raised his head, as if he had Ying Zheng in his grasp.
Picking up a piece of red braised pork, Wang Jian, whose face was flushed red, could not help but ask in puzzlement,"Kid, this isn't mutton, is it? Quickly tell me what kind of meat this is?"
Wang Jian had just left the room to deliver Ying Zheng's letter to the Black Ice Platform, so he naturally didn't hear Meng Fan's introduction.
" Old Wang," Ying Zheng said on Meng Fan's behalf." My young friend said that this is made from pig meat. Do you believe it?"”
"What?" Wang Jian stopped what he was doing and was in disbelief." This is pig meat? How was this possible? It's not like I haven't eaten dolphin meat before. It stinks. This meat is so sweet, how can it be dolphin meat?”
After years of war, Wang Jian was different from Ying Zheng.
It was inevitable that there would be a shortage of food during the march. At that time, what kind of meat would they care about?
It was good enough to have meat to eat, so he naturally wouldn't be picky.
The cooking techniques of this era definitely weren't as good as Meng Fan's. The taste of the pork was still fresh in Wang Jian's memory.
In short, after eating it once, he did not want to eat it a second time in his life.
Now, hearing Ying Zheng say that this bowl of meat was pig meat, he naturally did not believe it.
" It's just dolphin meat, but I raised it using a special domestication method." Meng Fan took a sip of wine and introduced it to the two." Ordinary people raise dolphins, so they definitely have an earthy smell, but after my special domestication method, not only does it not have an earthy smell, but the meat yield is also very high!"”
"How high can it be?" Wang Jian subconsciously asked.”
Having eaten dolphin meat before, he naturally knew how much meat ordinary people raised.
Pigs that had not been artificially bred were basically caught by farmers in the mountains.
Male dolphins were naturally aggressive and liked to run around.
As a result, the flesh on his body would naturally be much less.
Just like how people who worked out often in the modern world couldn't gain weight, so did pigs.
It was also because of this that very few of Great Qin's residents were willing to raise pigs. This kind of money-losing trade that would allow them to eat more and produce less meat was something that even a slightly smarter person would not do.
"Three to four hundred catties." Meng Fan said casually.
"What?" Wang Jian's eyes widened. Three to four hundred catties? So many?"
The dolphin he had eaten was only a hundred pounds, and a person could carry an entire dolphin. If he wasn't certain that the dolphin Meng Fan was talking about was the same thing he was talking about, Wang Jian wouldn't have believed it.
Hearing his words, Ying Zheng's interest was piqued.""Little friend, are you still raising pigs? Can you bring us there to take a look?"
