Chapter 19 Wine Culture
"Haha! You need to taste the high-quality liquor slowly. You can't just put half a bowl of liquor into your throat like you did just now, and it will feel rinsic and spicy. If you smell it first and then sip it lightly, let it moisturize and evenly in your tongue, then you can taste the sweet, soft, clean, and fragrant liquor."
After hearing Li Yu's words, Li Er and Li Xueyi felt that what he said seemed to be drinking and reciting poems. Li Xueyi put the wine at the tip of his nose and smelled it. Then he took a sip and slowly tasted it carefully.
Sure enough, the taste of wine in the mouth has changed dramatically, and it has a sweet, soft, clean and fragrant taste.
Li Er also tried to use the method Li Yu said. After taking a sip, he repeatedly praised: "Li Yu drinks this distilled liquor as you do. Compared with the previous white liquor, it is simply two kinds of liquor, and this liquor has a mellow and sweet taste."
Li Xueyi, who was standing by, took another sip of excitement and said, "Li Yu, the distilled liquor you made is really exciting. The wine used to be flat and tasteless, and sometimes it is sour and sour. It doesn't feel good at all. It's still refreshing to drink this wine."
"In fact, the wine that has just been distilled is a bit dry and does not taste very good. If it is sealed well, it is stored in the wine cellar for several months or years, and the dryness in the wine will be naturally stored and volatile. The wine tastes more mellow and will have various tastes, such as: sweet, sweet, mellow, soft, spicy..."
Because of singing in his previous life, Li Yu could not drink liquor, but he still knew a lot about how to taste liquor, so he continued to explain to the two of them how to taste liquor.
"The steps of tasting wine are divided into three steps. The first step is to raise your glass and smell it gently, and sniff it quietly, so that the fragrance of the elegant white wine can enter the cavity leisurely, which can make you feel comfortable and happy. If you repeat this several times, you will be in high spirits immediately.
Then, take a small sip and let it fall on the tip of the tongue for one to two breaths. At this time, the sweetness of the white wine appears. Then gently touch the tongue to the palate to let the wine permeate the entire tongue, and turn it a few times. The mellow and refreshing/smoothing of the white wine will spread throughout the mouth, neither rinsing nor spicy, and the wine body is coordinated and clean, which will make it a different taste.
Finally, slowly swallow the remaining wine in your mouth into your throat, and you will feel the white wine going smoothly, and it goes down one line. After a while, a fragrance comes back from the throat. This is called entering like a line and coming out like a thread."
When Li Er and Li Xueyi heard Li Yu talk about how to drink, they were as elegant as reciting poems and paintings. They were so quiet that they were stunned. When they came to their senses, they stretched out their thumbs and said to each other.
"admire!"
"sharp!"
Li Xiuning was listening to Li Yu's drinking, and felt that drinking should be particularly poetic. She couldn't help but pick up the wine and looked at it. Following the method Li Yu said, she took a sip and took a sip. She was instantly choked by the spicy taste of the wine and her face turned red.
"Why do you say that drinking is like reciting poems and paintings? Why is it that I drink without drinking?" Li Xiuning's face was red, and her apricot eyes were shining.
"Haha, that's because you don't understand our Chinese wine culture!"
"Puff!"
"Isn't it just a drink? Is it so good that you have been promoted to the wine culture? You will talk nonsense." Li Xiuning couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Yu's words.
Li Yu smiled slightly and said, "Wine culture is actually reflected in two values, one is called drinking and the other is called tasting. The latter is actually the latter, that is, wine tasting."
After Li Yu finished speaking, he looked at the three of them with admiration in his eyes, and did not care. He continued to say, "Why? Because the true charm and all taste of white wine can only be experienced by sniffing it lightly. Each part of a person's tongue is divided into different labor, such as the tip of the tongue is sensitive to sweetness, the sides are sensitive to acidity, the back of the tongue is sensitive to bitterness, and the entire mouth and throat are sensitive to spicyness. So if you toast, pour a glass of wine into your mouth and throat, you will feel rinsed and spicy. If you smell it first and then sip it lightly, let it nourish and evenly in the tongue, then you can taste the sweet, soft, clean, and fragrant white wine, and get a kind of enjoyment. This is called science and civilized drinking.
The benefits and methods of wine tasting: Simply put, one is to enjoy and experience the full taste and charm of wine; the other is to adjust, leisurely and elegant, and enjoy the mood. It was said that drinking to drown sorrow is to relieve it. This is negative. If you use tasting to soothe, it is a positive adjustment. No matter how much wine tastes, it is not easy to get drunk."
A few people were confused, so why didn’t they just drink some wine? They could also drink a lot of knowledge.
"Okay! I've also drunk the fine wine. You understand how to taste it. Let's continue working. In addition, a big battle is coming soon, and the number of wounded soldiers will increase. It's not possible to have no alcohol at this time." Li Yu saw that the three of them were still stunned and quickly reminded that it was time to work.
The three of them nodded subconsciously and said, "Oh!"
“…”
Because of the pot, you can only hold up to five jars of wine at a time, so the speed is not fast. After distilling for several hours, Li Yu was almost drunk by the smell of alcohol emitted. So he simply handed it over to Li Xueyi, who had already learned the process, and asked him to take him to distil the alcohol.
Li Yu hurried to the wounded camp again.
...
When Li Yu came to the injured barracks, he found that there had been obvious changes in the injured barracks. Just a few hours later, the injured barracks had undergone earth-shaking changes, including a clean environment, clean drinking water, clean clothes, bed sheets and quilts, ventilated tents, and comfortable beds...
Each room has a small stove to make a fire, and a small iron pot is on the stove. Vinegar is being cooked in the house and vinegar steam is used to disinfect it. There is a sour smell in the ward. The sour smell is not the rotten sour smell in the past.
There is boiling water in the pot in the kitchen next to it. The well water dug from the well boils in the pot. If the wounded soldiers want to drink water, there will be soldiers taking care of them in the ward and will help them get boiling water.
The soldiers from the wounded barracks were building toilets there, and some soldiers were spilling lime water. The wounded soldiers who were unable to go to the toilet due to injuries also prepared toilets for them and sent special personnel to take care of them.
Li Yu was surprised to see that the injured camp had undergone earth-shaking changes in a few hours. It seemed that Li Xiuning had made great determination to improve the injured camp.
"As military doctors and nursing workers, you must keep yourself clean and prevent the virus from spreading. You must change into clean clothes every day, and the clothes you change need to be boiled in boiling water to prevent viruses." Li Yu slutted the military doctors following behind him.
…………
In the following time, Li Yu taught the military doctors in the wounded barracks to clear wounds and suture wounds. Those military medicine was very serious. After two days of emergency training, the military doctors in the wounded barracks could boldly clear wounds and suture wounds for the wounded barracks, and also learned how to disinfect equipment.
Seeing that the military doctors were ready to get started, he planned to train a group of medical soldiers for the Women's Detachment Army. Now the war is about to begin, and it is really impossible to do without a considerable number of medical soldiers.
Early in the morning, Li Xiuning was discussing the issue of ambushing the Yinshi Division army at the mansion, and received a report from the injured barracks secretary.
"General! One wounded soldier died in the wounded barracks last night." The clerk reported excitedly.
"Only one wounded soldier died?"
Hearing the secretary's report, Li Xiuning couldn't believe his ears and stood up directly.
After that, Li Xiuning was immediately happy. He did not lie to me, but he still puzzled Li Xiuning. Why didn’t people know about such a simple method before? He simply changed the sanitary environment. Is alcohol made from alcohol actually so effective?
Li Xiuning stood there excitedly and said, "He promised to save more than 70% of the wounded soldiers. Now it seems that he still has a conservative statement."
The main reason is that ancient bacteria have not evolved and have no resistance to drugs, so using alcohol will have such a great effect. In fact, this phenomenon was beyond Li Yu's expectations.
In the past, a large number of injured people in the injured camp were carried out every day, and only Li Yu took over the injured camp. This phenomenon disappeared immediately. Li Xiuning excitedly asked his clerks to record them all one by one, and used them as the system of the injured camp in the future.
Li Er, who was sitting aside, was also shocked when he heard the changes in the injured camp and immediately rushed to the injured camp with Li Xiuning. He wanted to see what method he used to reduce the casualty rate of soldiers so much.
Li Xiuning and Li Er walked around the injured barracks and found that the entire injured barracks were completely different from the previous ones. They were neat and clean, and everything was so well organized. After listening to the detailed report from the military doctor, they ran over to find Li Yu.
"Li Yu, you did a great thing this time, and I don't know how to thank you." Li Xiuning was excited and thanked him quickly after seeing Li Yu.
When Li Yu heard this, he just waved his hand, telling her not to be polite.
"Li Yu, you have made great contributions to the Detachment of Women this time. I want to report to my father. I want to recruit you into my Tiance Mansion to be responsible for the medical management of the entire army's wounded barracks."
"Not interested!"
After hearing Li Er's recruitment, Li Yu refused without hesitation.
"What?"
Li Er never expected that Li Yu would refuse without even thinking. Li Er felt that Li Yu was crazy, and that someone who was willing to be an ordinary person if he wanted to be an official position.
"If you do it for me, I will leave immediately, and I will no longer care about the injured barracks." Li Yu acted like you do it for me and I will leave.
"Second brother, don't say anything more. I have promised him not to force him to be an official. He is now giving me help. Don't mention it in the future." Li Xiuning advised Li Er not to do anything extra in the future.
After several months of contact, she knew very well what kind of person Li Yu was. If you dare to force him, he would dare to turn against you immediately, and he would not care about who you are.
Seeing Li Yu's appearance, Li Er wanted to say anything else he wanted to leave immediately. Since the third sister said that he had no plans to be born, he temporarily gave up the recruitment plan and planned to slowly find a way for his own use in the future.
Li Yu didn't care about Li Er's recruitment at all. He was a monk, so how could he work for a mortal? Even Li Shimin in history would not do it. What's more, he had space and would have his own country in the future. He believed that with Princess Yicheng and the help of the twelve-level civilization Xiaoling, his country would soon develop into a powerful country, and it would not take long for him to surpass his future generations.
Li Yu didn't care about Li Er's strange gaze at all, and he didn't understand his background at all. Li Er's recruitment was ridiculous to him.
