Zhu Cilang waved to Meng Fanchao, the secret guard beside him, and Meng Fanchao carefully leaned over. Then, Zhu Cilang whispered in his ear: "What do the waste chefs in the palace do for food? They are even worse than the dishes in the restaurant outside the palace. Let me check if there is any imperial kitchen that has enough pockets and has taken the kickback."

Linghu Yunlong replied carefully: "No."

Then, Zhu Cixuan waved to him again: "Also, the dishes in Shangshenjian should be replaced in the future. If you change more folk dishes, these dishes will be good. In addition, there are fine wines, which I don't like to drink. But those wastes in the wine, vinegar and noodles, might as well add more beer and such delicious rice wine."

Like the Imperial Kitchen, the Wine and Vinegar Bureau is managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As the name suggests, one of its main tasks is to search and select Imperial wine for the royal family. The selection procedures for Imperial wine are complicated and strict requirements. It is no exaggeration to say that all the officials of the Wine and Vinegar Bureau are wine tasting experts, and the wines they recognize are well-deserved "national wines".

The wine and vinegar noodle bureau was signed by the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. It belongs to one of the eight bureaus, with eunuchs in charge of seals, and there are managers, assistant secretary, chief officer, supervisor, supervisor and other personnel. Although the Ming Dynasty had already developed distillation technology, the degree of wine was also improved to a certain extent. Most of the wines on the market were still low-alcohol, and the people seemed not very accustomed to high-alcohol drinks.

There are a wide range of imperial wines in the palace, and Zhu Cilang does not like to drink. Although Zhu Cilang improved the brewing technique, allowing the brewery to brew 70 to 80 degrees of wine, most of them are used for alcohol disinfection.

In particular, alcohol has become an indispensable medical supplies for the Ming army. Alcohol also plays an extremely important role in preventing and controlling plagues.

In addition, the invention of beer has completely become a best-selling product in Beijing. Even Queen Chen Shishi and Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan like to drink beer very much.

As for the sweet and sour taste of rice wine, it is not popular with Zhu Cilang. In addition, after arriving at Liuquanju today, I tasted the deliciousness of rice wine.

The aroma of this kind of rice wine brewed by Liuquanju is so warm and comfortable to drink when you drink it. Xiao Shishi praised this kind of rice wine: "Brother Zhu, this wine is so fragrant. It tastes warm and comfortable."

The shopkeeper next to him said with a smile: "The guest has good eyesight. Drinking this wine in autumn and winter can warm the stomach. Especially for women, it has a very good effect. In summer, if the well water is cold, it will be cool to relieve the heat and not hurt the stomach. If you don't brag about it, this wine will be inferior to the imperial wine in the palace."

Meng Fanchao, who was standing beside him, was furious and was about to retort. Zhu Cilang smiled and waved his hand, saying to the shopkeeper: "That's right, your wine is indeed extraordinary. Although there is a lot of imperial wine in the palace, I'm afraid it's not enough, hahahaha."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he became a little embarrassed: "This little old man is a little bragging, and I think the imperial wine in the palace is naturally unique. However, the fine wine in the small shop is also famous in the capital. The guest is lucky. Today is the time to come, and it is the time when our Yuquan wine is released. Even if you have money, you can't buy this wine elsewhere. It is the signature of our shop."

Zhu Cilang was shocked: "Oh, did you Liu Quanju make this wine? What's the secret?"

The shopkeeper smiled, and naturally he refused to spread the secret recipe. However, he told Zhu Cixuan a proud secret: "Well, it depends on our Liuquanju. The well water in this well is sweet and savory. Not to mention brewing wine, even making tea is better than his family."

Zhu Cilang nodded, held the teacup on the table and said, "No wonder I, no wonder I think this tea is also interesting. It's not bad, you, the shopkeeper, are afraid you will have great luck."

The shopkeeper was stunned, but when he saw Zhu Cilang's elegant and luxurious dress, the wife beside him was even more beautiful than a painting of beauty, and Meng Fanchao and others around Zhu Cilang were respectful to him.

In the capital city, there are many royal relatives walking around, and there are as many officials as dogs. Even when walking, you may accidentally step on the heels of third-rank officials.

The young prince in front of me must be from a family of officials. Maybe it is the prince of a certain royal relative.

At that moment, the shopkeeper gave a respectful salute: "I would like to ask my son for advice."

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "Your wine is not difficult as a royal wine. By chance, I have some ideas. If you report it here, maybe your Liuquanju wine may really become a tribute wine."

It is something that ordinary people dream of being able to be the imperial wine in the palace. But it is for the emperor and the empresses to drink. This Liuquanju’s fine wine can also be famous all over the world.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's face changed drastically when he heard it: "Oh my grandfather, this young man's kindness is appreciated. Don't report to the palace. If this wine is made of imperial wine, it will really cause trouble for the small shop."

Zhu Cilang and Shen Shishi looked at each other, and even Xiao Shishi was puzzled. The fact that other people's agricultural and sideline products could become tributes to the palace was something they could not be sought. Why was the shopkeeper in front of him a strange thing, and he was afraid that his wine would become imperial wine.

This made Xiao Shishi on the side confused: "Shopkeeper, you have to think clearly. If this wine is made of tribute wine, it will be for the emperor in the palace. What a great honor this is, let alone the entire capital, even in the Ming Dynasty, your Liuquanju will be famous all over the world."

The shopkeeper had a bitter face: "What my aunt said makes sense, yes, but this man in the palace cannot resist, he will give him money in vain."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Cilang's face suddenly became ugly. He said coldly to Meng Fanchao beside him: "What's going on?"

Meng Fanchao was also confused. He said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, the masters in the palace, don't pay for someone else's money after taking something?"

The shopkeeper seemed to know that he had made a mistake and hurriedly bowed: "The little old man is talking nonsense. I'm talking too much, so please don't blame me. It's okay, it's a villain's nonsense. The two are grateful for their feelings, but the wine in the shop is really not on the table, so how dare you hope to become a tribute wine? You eat and drink well, and you will also come to visit the shop often in the future. The shop is really full of prosperity. The shop is busy, so the villain goes first."

The shopkeeper saw that Zhu Cixuan and his group of people were either rich or noble, and were people he could not afford to provoke. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he seemed to dare not say much.

Zhu Cilang's face looked extremely ugly. Someone in the palace seemed to be full of his personal pockets. Meng Fanchao had to take out another ingot of silver: "Slow down, the shopkeeper will leave if he is not busy, and it will be too late to chat again."
