Chapter 869 Outing (18)



Yan Xiaonan also benefited greatly from this museum visit. What is education? This is education.

Simply browsing through a museum without really learning anything is pointless.

For teachers like Ye Ren and Fu Qingping, engaging teaching methods are the true magic formula for enabling children to learn.

"Old Ye, how do you know so many things? It's like listening to a story," Grandma Yan exclaimed sincerely.

"Sister-in-law Yan, it's nothing. Just read more books and think more in your spare time, and take some notes. Over time, you'll naturally accumulate more knowledge in your mind," Ye Ren said modestly with a smile.

Fu Bao and the others listened attentively, keeping Ye Ren's words firmly in mind. Even En Ming blinked her eyes, deciding to go home and study.

Of course, he can only look at picture books and simple comic books now, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to learn about culture.

Zhang Jun was somewhat moved. He hadn't expected the old patriarch to be so talented. No wonder Ye Er admired the old patriarch so much.

Now it seems that Ye Er was right. My wavering heart has become firm again, and I am determined to follow Ye Er to work in Xia Country.

Finally, after touring the entire museum, everyone left with a sense of relish, looking at the clear sky, blue sky and white clouds—what a beautiful day!

Enming patted her little tummy and said in a soft voice, "Mommy, my tummy is hungry, and Tanuki's tummy is hungry too."

The little fox was making incoherent noises, but everyone knew it was saying it was hungry.

Yan Xiaonan quickly looked at everyone, and everyone nodded. Looking at the time, it was time for lunch.

Ye Ren suggested having seafood today, since there isn't that much fresh seafood to eat in Beijing.

The suggestion was agreed upon by everyone, as they are all foodies and have a particular fondness for seafood.

Hamburg, Germany, is Germany's largest port and Europe's second-largest container port. As the saying goes, "those who live by the sea eat from the sea," meaning the food here is closely related to the ocean.

They arrived at a large seafood restaurant, which served the famous Seafarers' Stew.

Seamen's stew, as the name suggests, is what seamen eat. Seamen are always at sea, and what dishes they eat is decided by the ship's chef.

In the past, due to the limited conditions on board, sailors could only eat things that were easy to store.

Serving items like potatoes, smoked meat, and various pickled foods separately would certainly displease the sailors.

The chefs had a sudden inspiration: to use specially pickled herring as the main dish, along with some mashed potatoes, red beets, and finally topped with a soft-boiled poached egg.

When this dish was served to the sailors, it received praise from all of them.

As a result, the chefs' enthusiasm was aroused. Today they would add a cucumber soaked in yogurt sauce to the dish, and tomorrow they would add a carved potato. Gradually, it became an authentic hamburger dish.

Of course, when you come to a seafood restaurant, you can't just order one dish of seafood stew; eel soup is also a good soup.

Grandma Yan also wanted to have a sip of eel soup, but when she tasted it, she felt like vomiting because the eel soup had been cooked to a sweet and sour flavor.

Ye Ren smiled and pointed to the eel soup, explaining, "Sister-in-law Yan, the eel soup isn't made with eels, but with bones, various cooked vegetables, and dried fruits."

Grandma Yan nodded, but then she still didn't understand. The broth should be salty, so why was it sweet and sour?

"There's vinegar and beets in the soup, so of course it'll be sweet and sour. But many people don't like this soup, so if you don't like it, don't drink it," Ye Ren said.

Tianru saw a picture of a hamburger and pointed to order it. Yeren also looked and realized it was a fish and shrimp hamburger.

Don't underestimate this fish and shrimp burger. The fish and shrimp in the burger are all freshly caught, so fresh that you'll want to swallow your tongue.

Ye Ren continued ordering some of the more expensive seafood, and Ye Wen said with a smile, "Old Master, aren't you going to order your favorite wine?"

Ye Ren was taken aback as memories flooded back. Yes, how could he forget that botrytized wine? It's just that the price of botrytized wine has increased many times over now.

Noble rot wine is a sweet white wine made from grapes infected with the fungus Botrytis cinerea (noble rot). Botrytis cinerea is a type of fungus.

It is susceptible to infecting grape varieties with thinner skins and requires very specific conditions to develop:

There should be a damp mist in the morning, as this is conducive to the growth and spread of Botrytis cinerea, which will burrow small holes in the grape skin.

The afternoon will then bring hot and dry weather, which can inhibit the excessive growth of Botrytis cinerea and prevent it from developing into malignant gray mold.

At the same time, the hot and dry environment causes the water in the grapes to evaporate from the small holes, naturally increasing the sweetness, flavor concentration, and acidity of the grapes.

At the same time, this must happen on mature grapes; otherwise, noble rot will develop into gray mold.

Just by looking at these complicated procedures, you can see that there are still many restrictions on the production of botrytized wine.

This is the most important reason for the sharp rise in the price of botrytized wines.

"This is a TBA Sauternes wine. We only have this one bottle here. Do you need it?" The owner immediately came out when he heard that someone wanted a top-quality Sauternes wine.

What's the price?

Ye Ren uttered fluent German.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Sir, this bottle of wine is worth thirteen thousand marks."

"Open it."

Ye Ren nodded.

"Yes, sir."

The boss called over a seasoned waiter and asked him to open the bottles of wine for Ye Ren and his group.

Although the waiter was very skilled at opening wine, he was still a little apprehensive about opening this top-quality Sauternes.

Seeing the waiter's actions, Yan Xiaonan knew that this bottle of wine was quite expensive. She asked, "Grandpa, is this very expensive?"

Ye Ren laughed heartily and said, "I won't tell you yet. After you drink it, you can give me your own price and guess how much this bottle of wine is worth."

The botrytized wine was poured into the glass, and its sweet aroma invigorated everyone who smelled it. It was a fine wine.

Even Enming picked up a cup and asked Ye Ren to pour him a drink.

Yan Xiaonan took the wine bottle from the waiter and poured a glass of wine for Ye Renfu, Qingping, and Grandma Yan.

Then he poured half a glass of wine for Cuihua, Yan Xiaoqiang and the others, and as for the children, he poured a spoonful for each of them to taste.

Enming pointed to the little fox in her arms and said, "Li Bao wants a sip too."

Yan Xiaonan looked at the little fox with some horror. Would it go crazy after drinking? But seeing the little fox's pleading eyes, Yan Xiaonan could only accept his fate.

He poured a spoonful of wine from his half-glass and fed it to the little fox, then tapped the fox's forehead and said, "Don't waste any."
