"I, Old Cheng, have never eaten such delicious barbecue in my life. It would be even better if I had some wine.”Cheng Yaojin said to Yuchi Jingde as he chewed on the mutton skewer.
"It's already good enough that you have barbecue to eat. You still want to drink?”Yuchi Jingde mocked.
Qin Fang only reacted when he heard Cheng Yaojin say that it was better to have wine. He had always felt that something was missing. Eating barbecue without wine would be lacking in soul.
Qin Fang turned to Er Niu and said,"Er Niu, go to the wine cellar and get two jars of wine."”
"Alright, Young Master." Er Niu agreed and walked towards the wine cellar in the backyard.
"There's really wine. Qin Fang, you're living such a comfortable life.”
"With Little Butterfly and Er Niu serving me every day, I have food and drink, and I don't have to work hard. It's simply more comfortable than the emperor.”Li Shiming said to Qin Fang sourly.
"Haha, I was born to be a salted fish. I don't seek to be famous among the princes, but only to be free and happy in the golden age.”Qin Fang laughed.
After a while, Er Niu walked over with a wine jar in each hand.
Qin Fang introduced," This wine was personally brewed by me. It's very different from ordinary wine. Later, everyone must drink according to their own abilities."”
Hearing his words, Li Shimin laughed,""I say, Qin Fang, aren't you bragging a little too much?”
"I dare not say anything else, but I have tasted quite a lot of this wine. I have even had the honor to taste the tribute wine of the Imperial Palace."
"Can the wine in your jar be better than the tribute wine of the imperial palace?”
"Could it be that you added ginseng and fruits to this wine?”
Qin Fang did not answer and directly opened the mud seal outside the wine jar.
Immediately after, a strong aroma of wine assailed his nose.
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Junxian, and Xue Rengui all stared.
Cheng Yaojin was even more exaggerated. He rushed to the side of the wine jar and asked,"How is this possible? There's actually such strong wine in this world!”
"Young Master Qin, did you really brew this wine?”Wei Zheng also asked in disbelief.
This wine was actually Qin Fang's first attempt at brewing wine according to the brewing techniques of the later generations. It was not too strong and was only about 40 degrees.
But compared to the popular Nu 'er Hong and Hong Qu wine in the Great Tang, it was much richer.
The wines sold in the market of the Tang Empire were considered good if they could reach 15% alcohol content. Those that could reach 20% alcohol content were considered top-grade.
"Haha, everyone, don't just smell the fragrance of wine.”
"Let's pour it out and have a taste. Perhaps there will be an even bigger surprise.”
Qin Fang smiled as he spread out the wine bowls and filled them with wine.
Then, they picked up their wine bowls and took a small sip.
After drinking, the few of them raised their heads in shock.
Cheng Yaojin immediately fanned his mouth." What a strong, spicy wine. My eyes have finally opened today."”
Li Shi Min took a small sip, then he gulped down the entire bowl of wine.
This bowl of wine was about three taels. Li Shimin felt a burning sensation in his throat and stomach after drinking it. He took two bites of the mutton skewer to suppress the spiciness. He bared his teeth and praised loudly,"Good wine."
After drinking it, he couldn't help but feel a little wasted. His heart ached a little. Such a good wine should have been slowly tasted. Li Shimin pursed his lips and asked Qin Fang,""Qin Fang, this wine, only two jars, or?”
Qin Fang smiled and said," Everyone can drink to your heart's content. Although the stock of this wine is limited, it's enough for everyone to drink for a year. Moreover, this wine can still be brewed after drinking it.”
"Therefore, everyone can rest assured and drink. There's no need to worry about drinking it all.”
Hearing Qin Fang's words, Yuchi Jingde wanted to pour himself a few more bowls and drink to his heart's content first.
But unexpectedly, the wine jar was already in Cheng Yaojin's arms, and he looked like he cherished it very much.
At this moment, Wei Zheng sighed and asked Qin Fang,"I really didn't expect that there would be such good wine in the world.”
"I wonder if this wine has a name?"
Qin Fang thought for a moment and said,"This is the first time I've brewed this wine. You're also the first people in the world to taste it."”
"If you want to name it, just call it Sky Shooting Wolf.”
"Sky Shooting Wolf? What a strange name. What was the explanation for this name?”
Qin Fang looked straight at the northwest and chanted,""He can draw a bow like a full moon, look to the northwest, and shoot the heavenly wolf.”
"The people of the Great Tang are in dire straits, and the Turks in the northwest are eyeing us covetously. I gave this name in the hopes that our Great Tang would defeat the Turks as soon as possible and usher in a peaceful era.”
He looked at Qin Fang's gaze and listened to Qin Fang recite the poem.
At that moment, Li Shiming and the others felt that the carefree Qin Fang was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced by a loyal and brave man who wanted to kill enemies for the country and serve the country.
The few of them shouted in unison,"Okay."
"Qin Fang, you're really amazing.”
"Not only can you brew such strong wine, but you can also match it with such a magnificent and heroic poem.”
"However, this poem doesn't sound complete. Wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't complete it?”Wei Zheng said.
Qin Fang scratched his head." I only thought of this line for this poem. I haven't thought of the rest yet."”
In order to prevent Wei Zheng from continuing to ask, Qin Fang could only continue to roast the mutton skewers and pretend to be deaf.
After Qin Fang roasted a few skewers, Empress Zhangsun suddenly coughed a few times. Only then did Qin Fang remember that Old Li's purpose today was to treat Empress Zhangsun.
Seeing that Li Shiming was about to drink more, Qin Fang quickly stopped him and said,"If you continue drinking, you'll really be drunk. Old Li, did you forget that there's something important today?”
With Qin Fang's reminder, Li Shimin immediately remembered that he was here to treat Empress Zhangsun, so he let Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, and Cheng Yaojin continue eating and drinking.
Qin Fang brought Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and Xiao Die to the greenhouse.
After Qin Fang let them go, they continued to eat and drink.
Wei Zheng was still gnashing his teeth in hatred for Qin Fang for not completing the poem.
"Sigh, this child is really detestable."
"He can draw a bow like a full moon, look to the northwest, and shoot the heavenly wolf.”
"Such a magnificent poem, a poem with an excellent artistic conception, yet he didn't complete it. It's really too infuriating.”
"Heh, who says so?" Yuchi Jingde echoed.
"I told you two to stop talking about poems. Can you eat or drink? He might as well eat more of this high-quality roasted mutton skewer and drink more of the Sky Shooting Wolf.”
"Rengui, give me two more kebabs with more chili and cumin.”Cheng Yaojin felt his scalp go numb when he saw the two of them muttering, so he couldn't help but complain.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin eating and drinking, Wei Zheng and the others no longer bothered about the poem and joined the battle of " eating and drinking."
