Xiao Ran picked up two small glasses. The glass for drinking water is large, while the glass for drinking wine is generally smaller.
Xiao Ran put down the glass, but before he could pour the wine, Li Shimin suddenly picked up the glass.
"This...is this colored glass...or transparent colored glass?" Li Shimin felt that this was more beautiful than the previous tributes from the palace.
It feels very expensive!
"Does my uncle like it?"
"Do you like your gift to me?" Li Shimin was also direct and did not bother to be polite with Xiao Ran.
"Uncle, you are the emperor and an elder. I would be embarrassed to accept my gift. How about this! Let's each take a step back. I won't give it to you for free, and you won't ask for one ounce of gold for nothing. It's a friendship price."
Li Shimin's mouth twitched. Actually, it was okay to ask for it for free.
The Tang Dynasty has no money, so saving any money is earning!
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang subconsciously looked at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran said before that this is very cheap.
One tael of gold is not a small amount in the Tang Dynasty.
As for the two little princesses, they didn't care about this issue and were eating happily.
"One tael of gold for two!" Li Shimin pointed at the cup and bargained for the price.
"Deal, uncle, you can take the cup away later. Remember to give the money to Wu Niang."
Two glasses sold for one ounce of gold, making a fortune.
Xiao Ran didn't want to make money from Li Lizhi, but wanted to make money from Li Shimin.
Xiao Ran also felt Li Shimin's vague hostility towards him.
Fortunately, he had the Equality Device for All Beings on his back, so Xiao Ran was not afraid.
Empress Changsun's illness needed Xiao Ran's treatment, and Li Shimin could not do anything bad to Xiao Ran.
Li Shimin felt a little unhappy with Xiao Ran's way of addressing Li Lizhi.
It feels like Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi are very close.
"I understand!"
Xiao Ran was thinking in his mind that he would go to the two-yuan store and buy more next time and sell them to the big bastards in the Tang Dynasty... Oh no, the rich people!
Xiao Ran opened the Moutai and the aroma of Moutai wafted out immediately.
The little princess who was eating quietly also looked up and said, "Hmm~ It smells so good~"
This smells really good.
Princess Chengyang and Princess Yuzhang also looked at the Moutai liquor in Xiao Ran's arms.
The sauce-flavored liquor smells intoxicating.
"Good wine!" Li Shimin was also a wine lover. He suddenly became energetic and his eyes became hot.
Xiao Ran poured Li Shimin half a cup.
Li Shimin took a look and asked, "Why is it only this little?"
"Uncle, this wine is good, but it's very strong. I'm afraid you can't get used to it."
"What are you talking about? How strong can it be? How strong can it be?" Li Shimin didn't believe it.
"Drink first." Xiao Ran put down the bottle.
Li Shimin picked it up and took a look. It was surprisingly clear, completely different from the wine of the Tang Dynasty.
Generally speaking, the three main types of wine produced in the Tang Dynasty were rice wine, fruit wine and blended wine.
Among them, rice wine has the largest output and the largest number of drinkers.
Rice wine, also known as grain fermented wine, is made by steaming grains, mixing them with yeast powder, placing them in a jar, sealing them, and allowing them to ferment for a period of time before becoming wine.
The rice wine brewed by the Tang people is divided into clear wine and turbid wine.
Sake takes a long time to brew, has a high alcohol concentration, low sweetness, and is relatively transparent, but the brewing process is complicated.
The opposite is true for turbid wine.
It has a short brewing time, low concentration, high sweetness, is relatively turbid, and has a simple brewing process.
Therefore, the production of rice wine in the Tang Dynasty was mainly based on turbid wine.
Li Shimin looked at the color and said, "Is this sake? How can it be done to this extent..."
Li Shimin is not Li Jie.
If it weren't for the strong aroma of wine, it would feel like the cup contained clear spring water.
Li Shimin took a closer sniff and looked very happy.
Everyone else looked at Li Shimin intently, showing interest in Moutai.
So fragrant!
Li Shimin also wanted to try it, but Xiao Ran quickly reminded him, "Uncle, this is very strong, don't drink too much at once!"
Li Shimin felt that Xiao Ran looked down on him, "I like strong liquor, I won't drink anything that's not strong!"
After saying that, Li Shimin took a deep gulp.
The next moment Li Shimin regretted it!
The liquor slid down his throat and instantly burned in his mouth like a ball of fire.
The spicy stimulation suddenly exploded on the tip of the tongue and quickly spread to the entire mouth, as if igniting every taste bud.
A burning sensation came from the throat, and then the scorching hot current rushed straight to the stomach, colliding wildly in the body.
It felt like a small flame was ignited in my stomach, making it warm.
After drinking it for a while, my head began to feel a little dizzy, and my consciousness seemed to be gently shrouded by a layer of gauze. My thinking became a little slow but with a wonderful sense of relaxation.
A slight blush appeared on her face, her body gradually became hot, and a lazy and indulgent feeling slowly rose from the bottom of her heart.
My heartbeat seemed to quicken, beating powerfully in my chest, each beat accompanied by the excitement brought by the liquor.
The others stared at Li Shimin. Xiao Ran saw that Li Shimin had almost finished half the cup in one gulp, with very little left.
Li Shimin really regretted that he should have drunk less.
I knew it was intense, but I didn't expect it to be this intense.
The alcohol content of wine during the Tang Dynasty varied due to different brewing methods and materials, with some as low as 5 degrees and some as high as 20 degrees.
The alcohol content of rice wine is usually around 5-8 degrees, while the alcohol content of white wine is between 14-20 degrees.
However, the liquor in the Tang Dynasty was quite different from the liquor today. It had a rougher taste, and the alcohol content was not controlled during the brewing process.
Therefore, Li Shimin would never have imagined the alcohol content of Moutai.
"Grandpa~Isn't it delicious~" the little princess looked a little envious.
