Chapter 983

In later generations, Li's favorite thing is to make an appointment with three or five friends, run to the barbecue shop, roll out a string, and have a few sticks of iced beer. They drink and chat, talk about things, and are not lively.

After coming to Datang, every summer, he regretted that he didn't have cold beer. He really lacked a lot of fun.

He can only make sorghum wine, but beer can't.

During the autumn harvest of the third year of Zhenguan, the farmers harvested a lot of soybeans, so they sent some to Li forgetful's house to invite him to have a taste.

Knowing that he liked boiled soybeans, Su Changqing ordered the cook to cook a large pot of soybeans and turbid wine for Li Qieyou with pepper, big ingredients, fennel, cinnamon and so on.

Li forgot to worry about peeling boiled soybeans and eating them with relish. On the one hand, he said to Su Changqing with regret: "Changqing, it's a pity that there is no beer. The soybeans are matched with beer and a few kebabs. That's a perfect match!"

When Su Changqing heard the speech, he didn't speak first. After pondering for a while, he said uncertainly, "forget your worries. I really want to know how to brew beer, but brewing beer requires hops, which is not available in the Tang Dynasty."

Su Changqing liked to travel in later generations. During her study in the United States, she often went to Europe to play.

When she was traveling in Germany, she once visited a beer museum and remembered the traditional brewing technology of beer.

However, Su Changqing didn't like drinking, so after crossing the Tang Dynasty, he never thought of brewing beer.

Today, she heard Li forgetful complain that she didn't drink cold beer, so she remembered it.

It's just that there must be hops in brewing beer, and the introduction of hops into China was around the Ming Dynasty.

Li Qieyou was stunned when he heard the speech, and then stood up: "Changqing, can you really make beer? Hops, I know! Datang doesn't have it, but Europe does! As long as you ask those Persian businessmen for help, I'm afraid you can't get hops back?"

Therefore, in order to drink iced beer, Li Qieyou made a special trip to Chang'an West City, found several Hu merchants on the Silk Road, spent a lot of money and asked them to buy hops for themselves from Europe.

Beer was introduced into China in the early 20th century, but the birth of beer is very old. The Sumerians in Babylon brewed beer in the 3rd century BC, while beer had spread all over Europe in the 4th century.

So it was no trouble for Li to ask Persian businessmen to help him find hops.

It was only two years later that Li forgot to worry and finally got the hops he was thinking of from the Persian businessman.

With hops, it is not difficult to brew beer.

Hops, wheat, yeast and water. After more than ten days of fermentation, beer is brewed.

Originally, Li Qieyou intended to invite dandies to drink iced beer, but now it is just used to meet the wonderful requirements of dandies.

After Chumo asks for good wine, Li forgets to worry and orders someone to bring a huge beer barrel.

Homemade beer, unlike liquor and wine, is not suitable for long-term preservation. It needs to be refrigerated and preserved. As soon as possible, the fresh Baijiu is more refreshing.

This is one of the reasons why there are no Hu merchants trafficking beer to China through the silk road.

These beers brewed by Li Qieyou are stored in the cellar with ice cubes after brewing in order to preserve them.

After being moved out at the moment, there was still a slight chill on the beer barrel.

"Ziyou, your wine is still cold?" Chumo is curious. He reaches out and touches the cold beer barrel.

"However! This wine is called beer, and it's best to drink it after cold storage." Li forgot to drag a sentence, then picked up a huge beer glass, put it in ice, and then poured a full glass of beer.

In order to drink beer, Li Qieyou also ordered craftsmen to blow a batch of beer out of glass according to the shape of later beer glasses.

When the beer poured into the cup, bubbles of pale gold liquor and a thick white foam on the cup mouth immediately attracted the eyes of a lot of dudes.

In the brewing process of beer, malt, hops, yeast and other beer raw materials will produce a special protein and dissolve in beer. A large amount of carbon dioxide is produced during fermentation, so that white beer bubbles will be produced when beer is poured out.

Naturally, the dandies have never seen beer and feel very novel.

"Ziyou, what kind of beer are you? It's so unique! Give your brother a drink."

"Tut Tut, the liquor is light gold."

"Why are there so many bubbles?"

Li forgot his worries but ignored them. He picked up his beer glass and took a sip with his head up.

The familiar cool and refreshing taste made Li forget to worry. After pouring half a glass of beer, he gave a satisfied hiccup. Then he turned to the dandies and said with a smile: "brothers, the taste of this beer is very smooth, mellow and has endless aftertaste. It is completely different from the wine and water that your brothers have drunk."

The dandies had already seen it with keen eyes. Hearing Li forget you say so, naturally they no longer hesitated. They rushed forward one after another, grabbed the glass beer cup, poured out the wine from the barrel, and couldn't wait to drink it.

To Li's surprise, the dandies reacted very differently to the refreshing beer he felt.

After Chumo drank it, he immediately took another mouthful, jumped to his feet and scolded, "Ziyou, are you kidding your brothers? How dare you say it's good to drink such a hard drink?"

"Yes! It's so bitter. Are you sure it's not horse urine?"

"Ziyou, what kind of wine is this? It's so tasteless?"

Chumo is used to drinking liquor. Now he suddenly tastes beer, but he doesn't realize the benefits of beer. They all dislike it.

However, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu, after taking a big drink, were as happy as Li forgetful. They belched: "comfortable! This beer is really clear and refreshing!"

"Good wine! Comfortable!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they couldn't help looking at each other, and their eyes showed contempt.

Obviously, they all think each other's "taste" is too bad.

As a result, a "civil war" over whether beer was good broke out immediately.

Chumo and Fang Yiai are spitting at each other, and they seem to want to wash each other's faces with their own spittle.

Li forgets his worries and doesn't bother to get involved in the internal struggle of dandies. He feels very comfortable drinking beer and eating kebabs.

Niu Zhengping sat down beside him, grabbed Li's freshly roasted meat kebab and ate the beer.

Li forgets worry curiously and asks, "brother Zhengping, why don't you argue with brother Chumo?"

Niu Zhengping bit off the mutton kebab in his hand and said, "I'm not as stupid as them. I'm fighting for a fart! At present, what's the nonsense about food and wine? Ziyou, don't watch the excitement. My brother asked you, where are the beauties now that there are all wine and food? Call me quickly and let my brother see!"

Li Qieyou silently raises his middle finger to Niu Zhengping. Feelings don't quarrel. It's especially meow who cares about the beauty
