Datang romantic little landlord

Cumin was also a spice that was passed from the Western Regions to the Central Plains through the Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty.People in Tang Dynasty called it resting fennel, but they did not develop the practice of roasting meat with cumin powder.

Li Wangyou also managed to get some cumin through Hu Shang.

Li Wangyou didn't answer Fang Yiai's question, but just held the grilled meat skewer in front of his nose and sniffed it, then took a big bite.

Since he came to Datang through time travel, he hasn't had sex for several years, and at this moment, he is also aroused by the glutton in his stomach.

After one bite of the skewer, the tender, crispy, salty, and spicy taste exploded in the mouth, making Li Wangyou unable to help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Ziyou, give it to your brothers, what does it taste like?"

"Yes, yes, don't eat alone!" Fang Yiai said, reaching out to snatch the skewers from Li Wangyou's hand.

But Li Wangyou stepped aside and looked at the group of dudes with a smile: "Brothers, tell me first, have you guys seen this grilled skewer before? If you have seen it before, then don't eat it, I just eat it by myself." gone."

Cheng Chumo and the others looked at each other and nodded simply.

"That's right, I've never seen this skewer before, so it's okay, right? Hurry up and give it to the brothers!"

The dandy's idea was very good, they should eat and drink, and in the end no matter what woman Li Wangyou brought up, they just refused to accept it.Therefore, for Li Wangyou's questioning, he readily agreed.

Li Wangyou saw that the dandies had admitted, so he smiled and distributed the skewers in his hands to everyone.

The delicious barbecue naturally attracted unanimous praise from the dandies.

Li Wangyou taught the dandies how to grill skewers, and a group of the top officials of the Tang Dynasty began to try it with great interest.Everyone was eating skewers on the terrace, it was very lively.

Cheng Chumo bit off all the mutton on the skewer, chewed it a few times and asked, "Ziyou, this food is really good. You've passed the test. Where's the wine? Where's the good wine we've never had before?"

983 Poor Taste

In later generations, Li Wangyou's favorite thing is to meet up with friends, go to a barbecue restaurant to eat skewers, have a few cold beers, drink and chat with everyone, chatting, it's very lively.

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

He can only brew sorghum wine, but not beer.

During the autumn harvest in the third year of Zhenguan, the farmers harvested a lot of edamame, so they sent some to Li Wangyou's house, asking him to try something new.

Su Changqing knew that he liked to eat boiled edamame, so he ordered the cook to cook a large pot of edamame wine for Li Wangyou with pepper, aniseed, cumin, cinnamon and other ingredients.

Li Wangyou peeled the boiled edamame, ate it with relish, and said to Su Changqing with some regrets: "Changqing, it's a pity that there is no beer. This edamame is paired with beer, and then a few skewers, that is a perfect match!"

Su Changqing heard the words, but didn't speak first, thought about it, and then said uncertainly: "Wangyou, I really want to know how beer is brewed, but brewing beer requires hops, and this hops can be sold in Tang Dynasty now." No."

Su Changqing liked to travel in later generations, because she often traveled to Europe when she was studying in the United States.

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

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

She only remembered this when she heard Li Wangyou complain about not having any cold beer today.

It's just that hops are necessary for brewing beer, and it was around the Ming Dynasty that hops were introduced to China.

Li Wangyou was taken aback when he heard the words, and then jumped up: "Master, do you really know how to brew beer? I know hops! Datang doesn't have them, but Europe has them! As long as you ask those Persian businessmen for help, I'm afraid you won't be able to get them back Hops?"

So, in order to drink cold beer, Li Wangyou made a special trip to Chang'an West Market, found several Hu merchants who traveled on the Silk Road, and spent a lot of money to ask them to buy hops from Europe for him.

Beer was introduced to China in the early 3th century, but the birth of beer is very old.The Sumerians in Babylon had already brewed beer in the 4rd century BC, and beer had spread throughout Europe in the [-]th century AD.

So Li Wangyou asked a Persian merchant to help him find hops, which was not a troublesome matter.

It was just a long journey, and it was not until two years later that Li Wangyou finally got the hops he had been thinking of from the Persian businessman.

With hops, brewing beer is not difficult.

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

Originally, Li Wangyou planned to invite the dandies to drink cold beer, but now he just used it to satisfy the dandies' strange demands.

After Cheng Chumo asked for good wine, Li Wangyou immediately ordered someone to bring a huge beer barrel.

Homemade beer, unlike liquor and wine, is not suitable for long-term storage. It needs to be kept refrigerated and consumed as soon as possible. The fresher the beer, the more refreshing the taste.

This is also one of the reasons why there are no Hu merchants who trafficked beer to China through the Silk Road.

The beer brewed by Li Wangyou was stored in the ice cellar after brewing for preservation.

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

"Ziyou, your drink is still chilled?" Cheng Chumo was curious, and reached out to touch the cold beer barrel, wondering.

"Of course! This wine is called beer, and it's best served chilled." Li Wangyou didn't forget to grab a sentence, then picked up a huge beer glass, put ice cubes in it, and poured a full glass of beer.

In order to drink beer freely, Li Wangyou also ordered craftsmen to blow a batch of beer out of glass according to the appearance of beer mugs in later generations.

When the beer was poured into the glass, the bubbling light golden liquid and the thick layer of white foam on the rim of the glass immediately attracted the attention of the dandies.

During the brewing process of beer, during the fermentation process of beer raw materials such as malt, hops and yeast, a special protein will be produced and dissolved in beer.During fermentation, a large amount of carbon dioxide is produced, so that when the beer is poured, white beer bubbles will be produced.

The dandies naturally had never seen beer before, so they felt that it was a novelty.

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

"Tsk tsk, this wine is actually pale gold."

"Why is there so much foam here?"

However, Li Wangyou ignored them, picked up the beer glass in his hand, and took a sip with his head raised.

The familiar cool and refreshing taste made Li Wangyou burp contentedly after gulping down half a glass of beer, then turned his head and smiled at the dudes: "Brothers, the taste of this beer is very smooth and sweet. Alcoholic and full of aftertaste, it is completely different from the drinks that you brothers usually drink."

The dandies have long been envious. Hearing what Li Wangyou said, they naturally no longer hesitated. They rushed forward one after another, grabbed the glass beer glasses, poured out the wine from the barrel, and drank it impatiently.

Li Wangyou didn't expect that the beer that he thought was extremely refreshing would have a very different reaction after drinking it.

After Cheng Chumo and the others drank it, he spit out another gulp, jumped up and scolded: "Ziyou, are you playing tricks on your brothers? How dare you say that such a bad drink is delicious?"

"Yes! It's so bitter, are you sure it's not horse urine?"

"Ziyou, what kind of wine is this? So bland and tasteless?"

Cheng Chumo and the others were used to drinking strong alcohol, but now they suddenly tasted beer, but they didn't realize the benefits of beer at all, and they all hated it.

But Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu and the others, after gulping down the beer, burped as comfortably as Li Wangyou did: "Comfortable! This beer is really refreshing!"

"Good wine! Comfortable!"
