Chapter 255 Tastes similar
Jiang Ning pointed to a box and said, "Send this to Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion."
Song Fu was stunned and asked cautiously: "Madam, is it just that the box of paper is a little thinner?"
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "What you said makes sense. After all, this is Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion, and it's really not enough to give him such a small gift."
Song Fu hurriedly presented the gift list and said, "Madam, please take a look."
Jiang Ning looked at it carefully, his grin grew wider and wider, and he suddenly turned back to look at King Xiaoyao, "You are lucky today. Come, please add two jars of rice wine and two jars of fruit wine. Mrs. Japan is in a good mood today, and I will do it myself later." Let’s cook some snacks and send them over.”
Song Fu immediately asked someone to take notes and pick out the wine Jiang Ning mentioned.
King Xiaoyao frowned, "Is there anything special about this wine?"
Jiang Ning gave her a meaningful look and made a gesture of invitation, "Wouldn't Prince Pinpin know about it?"
Xiaoyao Wang Yiyan came in and saw Jiang Ning asking the housekeeper to bring in several jars of wine, while she herself put the two jars of wine from Yunze Winery aside.
There is a row of empty bowls on the table.
Jiang Ning poured several different kinds of wine into it for Xiaoyao Wang and Chi Kang to taste together.
The two monks Zhang Er were confused and drank according to Jiang Ning's wishes. Their eyes were full of confusion, "What next?"
Jiang Ning grinned, "Try the rice wine I brewed again."
"You can also make wine?" King Xiaoyao was a little surprised and thought to himself, this woman is omnipotent, why can she know everything?
Chi Kang was also a little surprised, but he didn't show it.
As soon as they picked up the wine bowls, they were overwhelmed by the aroma of the wine, and their expressions couldn't help but become more solemn. When they took a careful sip, their eyes widened in unison.
“Why does this taste so similar to Yun Zemeng!” Chi Kang was the first to say something was wrong.
Xiaoyao Wang took another sip of Yunzemeng and another sip of Jiangning's rice wine, jumping between the two, frowning tightly, "No, there is still a difference."
"Your Majesty, Yunzemeng is not as delicious as Guang Enbo's rice wine. Although the taste in the mouth is similar and there is almost no difference, the aftertaste is different. The aftertaste of Yunmengze is sweet and bitter, while this rice wine only has an increasingly obvious sweetness and aftertaste. endless!"
Chi Kang spoke first. He is not a wine vase, but he has to learn various skills from following Xiaoyao Wang, and wine tasting is one of them. He thinks that his skills are pretty good.
King Xiaoyao nodded, his face a little more solemn, and his eyes looking at Jiang Ning became a little more scrupulous, "What on earth is going on? How could you create Yunzemeng?"
It stands to reason that this secret brewing recipe is a secret that is not passed down to the Dong family and can only be mastered by the patriarchs of the past generations. Jiang Ning is from Quzhou Prefecture and has nothing to do with the Dong family, which is really puzzling.
Jiang Ning sneered: "Is it the same? It's different! My rice wine is far better than Yun Zemeng, isn't it?"
"Jiang Ning, what do you want to do? Although the behavior of the Dong family is shameful, in recent years, they have been involved with many forces in the capital by giving away their daughters. If you fight with the Dong family, even if you are Guang Enbo, you will not be able to do anything. You’ll definitely get a bargain.”
It’s not that the Dong family is powerful, but that the Yang family’s background is too thin, so thin that it can’t even compare with ordinary small landowners.
King Xiaoyao is really a little worried now. This woman is simply a troublemaker. She has just come to the capital and has troubled one house after another.
“Isn’t it you?” Jiang Ning smiled leisurely at King Xiaoyao, giving him goosebumps. Seeing that King Xiaoyao was making trouble again, she stopped joking and told the story about Dong Ze's grandfather with a sad look on her face.
"I didn't know how to make wine, so I relied on the three masters of the Dong family to teach me how to make this rice wine. I had never tasted this wine before, and I didn't know that the Dong family had given me all their money. Now that I have tasted this rice wine, I have tried it again. Guo Yun Zemeng, if I don't seek justice for the three masters of the Dong family, am I still a human being?"
King Xiaoyao was furious and shouted, "You bastard! It's so lawless! Where are the local magistrates and prefects? They don't care either?"
Jiang Ning shook his head, "That family has long been a problem, and Dong Ze's grandfather was just an ordinary citizen at that time. How could the government choose to offend a wealthy family and help a commoner get justice?"
Yunze Mansion was built on wine, and its main tax revenue also came from wine tax. The family was a big taxpayer, and everyone in the government had to smile when they saw it. They didn't distinguish between you and me.
After King Xiaoyao heard this, the fire burned to his forehead. Fortunately, he still had some sense and did not act impulsively. "What you said are all facts and there is no lie at all?"
"I swear! If I tell a lie, I will be struck by thunder and die!" Jiang Ning stood up and looked directly at King Xiaoyao.
Her oath was so vicious that all the servants held their breath and did not dare to take a breath.
King Xiaoyao looked at her deeply and said, "Okay! I've taken note of your words! Chi Kang, bring the wine and let's go!"
As soon as King Xiaoyao left, Grandma Yu looked at Jiang Ning very worriedly, "Madam, is it worth it for you to stand up for the Dong family like this?"
Jiang Ning paused and looked back at the wine, his eyes deep, like a deep pool with no bottom, "The three masters of the Dong family took the initiative to give me the secret recipe, and they decided to burn the boat and let their father's hard work see the light of day at all costs.
Sounds like this wine is indeed very good. If I can suppress Yunze Winery, the only one who will benefit is me. They won't actually get any advantage. I stand up for them like this. It's a reward, so why isn't it worth it? "
Mama Yu was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered her head, her expression became more and more respectful, "Madam is absolutely right, this old slave is too narrow-minded."
Jiang Ning smiled and said no more, "Send all the wine to the warehouse, and write a letter back to ask the people in the winery to expand production. This time the rice wine and fruit wine taste top-notch, and the fruit wine is not inferior to Taohua Niang, rice wine Far better than Yun Zemeng, our restaurant will use its own signature wine from now on!"
She could already foresee the situation when their wine would become famous.
At this time, Sun Ling'er, who was sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, finally regained consciousness under the doctor's treatment.
She looked around, still a little dazed, and raised her eyes to meet He's angry and serious eyes. Her mind suddenly jumped, and she finally remembered everything that had just happened.
“Mother” Sun Ling’er timidly stood up.
He stood up suddenly, "Don't call me mother! I'm not your mother!"
"Mother, sister has just woken up, please calm down first." Sun Yue'er helped He's back and kept winking at Sun Ling'er.
Sun Linger lowered her eyelids guiltily and sobbed softly.
He became even more angry, "Cry, cry, cry! What else can you do besides cry? Your father and I worked hard to bring you up. We hired the best husband and gave you the best things. But what happened? This is how you repay us. Yes! The face of my Sun family has been completely ruined by you!"
Sun Ling'er was her first child. She had been raised according to the standards of a housewife since she was a child. She didn't expect that she would spend so much time raising such a thing. She was not as transparent and sensible as her second daughter. She really made her Mad.
