In Yu Shu, Shen Hao felt a serious scholarly temperament, humble, knowledgeable, cultivated, and with clear eyes that was rarely used to calculating.
Seeing Yu Shu, Shen Hao unconsciously thought of the junior high school principal who impressed him deeply in another world.
It stands to reason that most literati do not like people under the Xuanqingwei system, seeing them as barbaric and cancerous. But from the moment they met, Shen Hao felt no trace of disgust in Yu Shu.
Or maybe Yu Shucheng's palace is so deep that Shen Hao's eyesight can't see the other person's true thoughts. Either Yu Shu himself is really as friendly as he showed, and has no dislike or resistance to Xuan Qingwei. At this time, he is really just contacting Shen Hao as an ordinary friend.
Shen Hao never hesitates to use the worst possible idea to predict a stranger, and likes to use time to slowly figure out a person's context. Wang Yiming is the most direct example. He has been with Shen Hao for so long and has been tested and polished repeatedly. Until now, he has not been able to gain Shen Hao's absolute trust.
However, it was true that contact with Yu Shu made Shen Hao feel very relaxed.
"This wine doesn't seem to have much difference, but there are thousands of changes in it. Every detail has surprising discoveries. I like to taste it carefully and think that doing things is the same as drinking. You can't be careless, so over time I have developed A set of feelings about various wines. I mix the collected wines in my spare time. There are always new discoveries, new tastes, and new fun..."
Just from these words, Shen Hao was sure that Yu Shu was definitely a real drinker, and even more knowledgeable than him.
Shen Hao could add a few words at first, but later he could only blink his eyes and listen. What kind of fruit wine is also divided into seven categories? There are several categories of sake, but are they very different? It turns out that there are more than just Wuliangye and Shenxian Niang, but there are also several kinds of spirits, but they are just less common...
Today Shen Hao really opened his eyes.
There are two jars of wine on the table, earthenware jars. Each jar is about five kilograms. It contains Wuliangye that has been brewed for two years. Not to mention buying it outside, very few people have heard of it. Zhangjia Liquor Shop does not take out. The privacy can be enjoyed by fewer people.
Today Shen Hao brought two jars, and even Kuang Shengyuan next to him had his eyes shining. He took them out without knowing whether he would have a chance to taste them too. After all, today is a wine tasting.
As a result, he held the wine jar with one hand and pushed it to the side, indicating that the wine would not be used today.
"This Wuliangye spirit can be mixed with some invitation wine, and I also have some at home. However, the two-year-old one says otherwise. It has become its own line, and it is no longer appropriate to mix it with other wine. So next time , I'll find a chance to taste it carefully next time." Yu Shu said this without any embarrassment, then waved his hand, and the butler beside him quickly took down the two jars of wine.
This scene made Shen Hao laugh out loud, and Kuang Shengyuan also laughed and teased Yu Shu for being "stingy".
The whole atmosphere became even more lively.
"Brother Yu, you took away the good wine, so why don't you show off your skills today!" Kuang Shengyuan joked.
"Haha, it's natural. Invite you two, let's talk somewhere suitable for drinking?" Yu Shu was also in a good mood. He laughed and stood up, then led Shen Hao and Kuang Shengyuan out of the main room and went to a place on the left side of the house. Walking to a small bamboo forest.
Growing bamboo at home? If you don't have some elegance, you won't be able to do this kind of thing. Because although the bamboo forest looks comfortable, once summer comes, there will be swarms of bamboo mosquitoes inside. They are much smaller than ordinary mosquitoes, but the taste of a bite is worse than ordinary flower-footed mosquitoes.
Therefore, Shen Hao could only attribute this to the elegance of a scholar. Anyway, he would never grow so much bamboo at home.
It's early April and it's Qizhou again, so it's quite pleasant to sit in the bamboo forest in the cool weather. There are no mosquitoes and only the sound of the rustling wind blowing the bamboo leaves is like background sound. It feels very ethereal.
In the middle of the bamboo forest is a thatched pavilion with a table, three chairs, and a three-story wooden frame.
The most eye-catching thing was the bottles and cans on the wooden shelf. According to Yu Shu's previous words, Shen Hao guessed that these bottles and cans contained all kinds of fine wines. Closer, Shen Hao also saw the Wuliangye earthen jars unique to Zhangjia Liquor Shop on the shelf.
"Both of you, please!"
Yu Shu introduced them, and then the three of them entered the thatched pavilion and sat down separately.
"These are the wines I collected and some auxiliary materials used in blending. Well, the auxiliary materials are usually the juice or powder of some plants. They have different flavors, including sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. Different combinations always have different tastes."
As Yu Shu spoke, he began to take out things from the wooden rack on the side and began to mix them. He laughed and moved while talking. Every movement seemed natural and rhythmic, which was pleasing to the eye.
Soon, the result of mixing three small cups for about three yuan was on the table, and each of the three people had a cup.
"This is a "quiet" drink suitable as an appetizer, please!"
After making a gesture of asking for a drink, Yu Shu did it first as a gesture of respect, and drank the small cup in his hand in one gulp.
Shen Hao and Kuang Shengyuan then drank a glass, and Shen Hao really felt a light and tranquil feeling. The wine was a light sake that he usually scorned, but now after Yu Shu mixed it, it turned out to be quite good. After one glass, he felt The alcoholic worm seemed to be awakened and full of expectations.
Chatting, joking, and drinking. Yu Shu is very talkative. Even when talking to Shen Hao about some murder cases investigated by Xuanqing Guard, he can still talk a few sentences and have good reasoning logic.
Of course, the wine will not stop either. One cup after another. It also allowed Shen Hao to see that in this world, besides drinking tea, drinking wine can also be very elegant and full of leisure fun.
However, Yu Shu is a good drinker, but he claims to be an average drinker. He mainly drinks light drinks, and the prepared spirits, such as a spirit named "Lava" by Yu Shu, only prepare one cup each for Shen Hao and Kuang Shengyuan, while he himself It's not polite to express gratitude, but it's because as a master, you can't be drunk and neglectful.
Shen Hao had a good capacity for drinking. He drank a small glass and drank a small glass, but he did not feel drunk except that he was drunk. Kuang Shengyuan's neck was a little red, and he could tell that he was getting drunk.
Miscellaneous wine has a lot of stamina. If you are a light drinker, you will drink it easily.
"Master Shen likes spirits. In addition to "Lava", I have a stronger one here. I choose Wuliangye as the main wine. I call it "Wushi". It is very strong. Do you want to try it?"
Shen Hao nodded, and although Kuang Shengyuan was a little less drunk, he was also curious and wanted to try it.
"Huh? It seems that the red pepper juice is not enough." Yu Shu picked up a small bottle, and there was only a little bit of dark red liquid in it. So he turned to the butler who was waiting on the side and ordered: "Ask Qiaoer to bring me a bottle of red pepper juice."
