When they left the Censorate together, Wang Su said to Li Dui: "A few colleagues from Sherenyuan heard that I made strong wine and made an appointment to try it out together. If Zixi had nothing to do, how about joining in the fun? You should know more people when you first came to the capital."

Li Dui agreed happily. At this time, among the Qing yamen, the Bachelor's College was high and it was not easy to walk with the Bachelor's College. The Zhijianyuan was Fu Bi, who was solemn and did not go with his colleagues much, and even the censors came and went alone. Only the several Zhijianyuan's College of Sherenyuan were easier to talk about and had a lot of contact with his colleagues. Most of them had old friends with Wang Su. When they heard that he had new wine at home, they started to urge him to be a host.

Seeing that it was still early, Wang Su found a public official to call the Censors Sun Mian and Xue You. The Censor Zhongcheng and Zhizai had too high status and were eye-catching when going out for ceremonial wars. They usually did not come and go with these middle and lower-level officials.

The supervisory censor was under the position of the Attorney Censor and the Attorney Censor in the Hall. Sun Mian and Xue You arrived in the capital shortly after a new arrival, so naturally there was no doubt.

After arriving at Wang Su's house, the three masters of the imperial edicts, Ye Qingchen and Su Shen came together. He Zhongli brought Wu Kejiu and Cao Jucheng, while Su Shen brought his son Su Song. These were all people who wanted to participate in the next imperial examination. Du Zhongxiao made wine here, and Ouyang Xiu and others advocated it, Su Shen brought his son to communicate.

Everyone sat down, and Wang Su called a servant to ask, "Is Du Xiaoguanren from Xuzhou still making wine there?"

The servant replied respectfully: "Return to the official, Du Xiaoguanren went to Xiangguo Temple in the morning to buy some books, and then read the books at the wine-making place."

Ye Qingchen said: "Wine is made from wine lees, turning useless things into treasures. It's so magical. Let's go and take a look."

Everyone said that they came to Du Zhongxiao's winemaking courtyard together.

Before I arrived at the courtyard, I smelled a strong aroma of wine. Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "No wonder everyone says that the wine from the lees is powerful. It is better to smell this smell than when I make wine at home. I wonder what secret method this person used to be so magical."

Wu Kejiu, who was beside He Zhongli, said: "It's not magical to go back to my husband. It's just steaming the remaining wine from the lees. Just make it with a big pot and a big steamer."

Ye Qingchen said strangely: "Oh, can you do this method of making wine?"

Wu Kejiu bowed: "The students are also from Xuzhou. There are many families selling this kind of wine, so they can learn it by chance."

Ye Qingchen was about to ask again, but Li Dui said lightly: "This is a young official who is in the hometown of "Qi Xiangju". A wealthy family can learn the method of stealing the winemaking method from the Du family who makes wine. Although the saying does not avoid people, it is just that the method of making wine in the wine lees is the means by which the Du family relies on for survival. After all, it is not good for other families to learn it. Wu Xiao Man Wai, remember not to ruin the food and clothing of the Du family, otherwise it will be difficult to speak in the prefectures and counties."

Wu Kejiu looked depressed and had to give in. He thought that when he arrived in the capital, he would not make money by selling liquor, and no one would say anything to help others make wine. These wealthy families are rich and powerful, and as long as they curry favor with one, there will be endless benefits in the future. Of course, Du Zhongxiao can help others make wine, but he didn't want Li Dui to dislike him. From time to time, he would mention that his method was stolen from Du Zhongxiao.

Cao Jucheng was well-behaved and quietly pulled Wu Kejiu's clothes, and the two of them slowly fell behind the crowd.

Being a little further away, Cao Jucheng complained: "President Li doesn't like you, why do you still ask about making wine in front of him?"

Wu Kejiu said: "There are so many wealthy families in the capital, and there is more than one Wang Yushi family. If someone knows my methods and makes wine for wealthy and powerful families, he may have some good luck. When the times come, it may be possible to know the master of the priest and the minister."

Cao Jucheng shook his head repeatedly, but whispered to Wu Kejiu to be careful and try to speak as little as possible. These people in the capital were either rich or noble, and they were different from the rich people in the countryside. They might not take the small profits of making wine.

After entering the yard, I saw a few people cooking fires and drinking, and they were not busy. Under the tree next to me, Du Zhongxiao leaned against the big tree, holding a book in his hand and was stunning. Du Zhongxiao looked at it seriously and did not notice that everyone was coming in.

Li Dui coughed and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Nephew, come and see you make wine."

Du Zhongxiao raised his head and put down the book. He saw several people in regular clothes standing at the door. Even Li Dui stood behind the crowd. He knew that today the big man had come. The censor was very noble. Even if he was one or two levels higher than them, he could only communicate with each other equally. Those who could get Li Dui to be behind the crowd must be important figures in the court.

Putting the book beside you, Du Zhongxiao stepped forward to salute: "Student Du Zhongxiao, I have met all the officials."

Wang Su introduced the people around him one by one and said, "My husbands are all wine lovers. I heard that the wine you made from the lees is very strong, so I will try it. But you once said that the wine you made was too strong and it was difficult to sip. I wonder if it would be harmful to your body?"

"As long as you don't drink too much, it's not harmful to your body, it's just a little bit of a headache."

Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "If you drink too much, you won't be able to get angry. What's that! Let's get drunk tomorrow. Let's see how strong this wine is. Young people, go find some good wine. Since it's the Shilin lineage, come and drink a drink together!"

Seeing Ye Qingchen standing in front, Du Zhongxiao knew that this was the biggest official today, and bowed to him: "I will make wine from the lees of wine. I can't drink the first wine, and the last wine comes out is light and I can't drink it, but now I'm just taking it."

Ye Qingchen said: "Since that's the case, let's take a cup and taste it!"

After saying that, he took everyone to the place where the wine was steamed to see how the wine was made.

The wine lees in the Wang family were piled up like mountains. It had been made for two days at this time. According to Du Zhongxiao, the steamed wine lees were transported out of the city to the pig farmer. The remaining ones still had to be steamed for two or three days. At this time, the quality of the wine was stable, and the place where the wine was received flowed into the jar like a stream.

After walking around the pot and the steamer, Su Shen said, "It's so weird. It turns out that the wine is steamed like this."

Wang Su ordered his servant to take the wine glass, Ye Qingchen took it, and then took the full glasses from the wine jar. He brought it to his face and praised it: "This wine is so clear! None of the famous wines in the capital can compare with it!"

After saying that, I drank it all in one go.

After the wine was drunk, it rolled down his throat like a piece of charcoal fire, and Ye Qingchen's face immediately turned red. After coughing a few times, Ye Qingchen opened his mouth and let out a few breaths before saying, "So amazing, this wine is like a piece of fire, and it is about to burn through the stomach and intestines! This wine is not only strong, but also like a ball of fire!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "To be honest, my husband, my student once tried it. This wine can really be ignited, but it is just like fire. When I first tasted hot, I would be soaked and swaying in a moment. Therefore, the student's hometown restaurant specializes in selling this wine, which is called the "Drunk Immortal Brew".

After hearing this, Wang Su took another cup, took a small half cup, drank it in one sip, and said, "It's really strange. I drank the strong wine brought by Li's palace that day, but it was not so powerful. Is it different to drink?"
