He also swallowed his saliva and said to Lin Yuelan anxiously, “girl, hurry up and open the seal. I can smell the wine.”
Guo Bing also said impatiently, “Miss Lin, quick, let us have a taste. Is this grape wine really as good as the one from the Western regions?”
“Brother Guo, the wine brewed by miss Lin will definitely be better than the wine from the Western Region!” Little twelve said immediately. “Miss Lin, hurry up and open the seal. We want to have a taste!”
Lin Yuelan didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. She slowly placed a small white porcelain cup in front of each of them. Since there were no flutes or wine glasses, she could only use small white porcelain cups.
Then, she gently and slowly tore open the seal. The rest was anxious.
The moment the seal was lifted, the fragrance of the wine immediately filled the entire courtyard.
“It smells so good!”
“It’s really fragrant!”
The sounds of praise came one after another. Even little white and Liefeng, who were having fun in the corner, seemed to wrinkle their noses and turn their heads to look over.
If someone were to see these two now, they would definitely exclaim, “so cute.” The two little animals looked at each other and stopped playing. They walked over as if they too wanted to try the wine.
Lin Yuelan took the wine jar and poured the first cup for Doctor Zhang to taste.
When the wine was poured out, it surprised them again. The wine was red and looked beautiful.
“This color is much more beautiful than the wine from the Western Region,” Guo Bing exclaimed.”And the smell is much more fragrant than the wine from the Western Region.” He and Jiang Zhennan had both seen and drunk the wine offered by the Western regions.
Although the Emperor had only rewarded them with a small cup, it was enough to make them reminisce for a long time. Those occasions were rare, so of course, they remembered the smell.
However, those wines were nothing compared to the wine Lin Yuelan brewed.
Under everyone’s envious gazes, Doctor Zhang held the small porcelain cup and took a sip. Then, under everyone’s curious, eager, and excited gazes, he said, “not bad. The aroma is rich and has a fruity fragrance. It’s lingering at the tip of my nose, and the taste is very pure. There’s a hint of sourness in the sweet taste. It excites the tongue. Very good!”
It was understandable that the wine had a sweet and fragrant smell, but this wine actually had a hint of sourness.
Real wine had a sour taste, but some people could taste it while others couldn’t.
Then, Lin Yuelan poured a small glass for each of them. Everyone couldn’t wait to grab the glass. After two gulps, the wine in the glass was gone.
“Eh, why don’t I taste any sourness?” Little twelve asked doubtfully.
Guo Bing picked up the small glass and slowly took a sip. Then, he said to the few people who were drinking like cattle, “You have to taste high-end wine slowly. Everyone will have a different taste in the wine. If you swallow the wine like cows, you are not going to taste anything.”
The kids immediately looked at Lin Yuelan again. Obviously, they wanted to have another glass.
Lin Yuelan wasn’t stingy and poured them another cup each.
The three kids drank slowly.
Guo Bing was right. Good wine had to be sipped slowly to have its taste truly appreciated.
“Yes, it’s really not bad. This wine is just as Doctor Zhang said. It’s very fragrant, sweet, and pure. It’s good!” Little three said with a serious face.
They were soldiers. They were rough people. No matter where they went, they preferred big meat and lots of wine. They hadn’t needed to taste something slowly before.
Jiang Zhennan had drunk this kind of wine at several banquets in the palace. Therefore, he knew the proper etiquette.
