Chapter 266 Tao Yuanming is in a foreign land
The appearance of whiskey, brandy, vodka, and Europe's distilled liquors all patted their chests and thanked the alchemist.
Just like our ancestors who were addicted to alchemy and pursue immortality, European alchemists also pursued the method of immortality through alchemy. It was during this alchemy process that distillation methods and distillation wine technology were gradually discovered and widely spread in Europe.
The distilled wine has high alcohol content. In ancient times, when medical conditions were backward, it could prevent diseases, cure diseases and heal injuries. Therefore, it was called the water of life. In ancient times, people could drink whiskey and brandy and would definitely be full of luck and gratitude.
Nowadays, tourism is developed, Scotland looks like a paradise. Men wear square skirts and blow bagpipes, which is a pastoral style. When it comes to ancient Scotland, the soil is not fertile enough, the climate is harsh, and wild beasts are rampant, which is simply a place where birds cannot shit.
It is only suitable for planting two types of crops, oats and barley. When the British in other places eat bread made from wheat, the Scots can only fill their stomachs with oats. As for barley, it is really too unpalatable.
The most depressing thing is that it is damp and rainy. After the millet is harvested, it is prone to moisture and mold. The best way to make wine. Originally, barley fermentation is beer, but in this ghost place, hops cannot be planted. Without the natural anticorrosion effect of hops, the beer cannot be long and is prone to deterioration.
I had to distillate the beer, and the liquid obtained after condensation was whiskey, which was forced out!
As for now, the four beauties divide the global market, the island country whiskey is pure and kind, Canadian whiskey is gentle and sweet, and American whiskey exotic style makes the Scotch whiskey with a mature lady's style highly threatened.
After all, time is unforgiving!
But just like what the harem drama says, as long as you don’t make mistakes, you can win when the other party makes a mistake!
The main focus is on the seventy-two transformations of mature women. When you are sad and depressed, she will comfort you, raise her fist, and shout for you to come on...
When you achieve your achievements, the look she looks at you is full of admiration...
When you need suggestions, she will help you analyze, give you opinions, and open your mind like an older sister...
When I went to the hall, I was a lady from a family and went to the kitchen, I was a good wife and mother, and when I was in bed...
You know!
There are many flavors and wide choices, and there is always a flavor that will make you feel rippled in your heart. This is not just the purity of whiskey in the island country, Canada just softness, and the United States just charm, which can be compared.
People know seventy-two postures, but you only know one movement.
The business is not up to date!
Ashford, which is 800 years old, is known as one of the most beautiful castles and has received countless stars. The history of the castle itself is enough to shoot a Downton Abbey.
Guness family bought this place and expanded several times on a large scale, reaching 26,000 acres. It opened several decades ago and became a world-renowned super luxury hotel.
The weather was not good, and it was drizzling when it arrived. The security guard at the door ran to the bridge in the rain to confirm the check-in information. From parking to luggage arrangements, there were special people to handle it. When you checked into the presidential suite, the elegant and graceful private butler, who was very attentive.
It was still early, just after tea time. When I walked through the hall from the front desk, the huge roses exuded a faint fragrance and were placed on the oak dining table. The watercolor paintings of the castle owner Arthur Guness wife d �
I have to say that the castle is indeed very pretentious, with gorgeous and dazzling chandeliers that set off the ultimate luxury. The dazzling gold-edged curtains handmade by Dublin tailors have been re-made as giant carpets that protect the original floor...
A small fireplace hidden in the corridor, because of a fire, after uncovering the tiles, I found that there was a gorgeous wallpaper, which made me feel how much effort the generations of owners have spent to build their own home.
Time travels through a hundred years, and the drizzle is drizzling outside. Various works of art from European masters and champagne airlifted from Bordeaux. The best Nordic charcoal burns throughout the house, emitting a faint fragrance.
All the top bone porcelain edgoods were delivered slowly, and everyone leaned against the fireplace to enjoy traditional champagne afternoon tea. The waiter was honored to explain all the artworks in the house to the guests, showing pride and pride, as if they were in a museum.
Although there are 82 suites, the castle is too big, so it is very private. Basically, I don’t see many guests except in the restaurant and the lobby. Johnson enjoys his time leisurely, and once considered whether to buy a private castle?
When I returned to the room, each room had a unique design. The ancient European luxury trend of the late Victorian and Gothic Revival periods was everywhere. Even the room cards were specially designed. The most interesting thing is that all rooms are intelligently controlled.
I heard that the owner has a private wine cellar and has nothing to do to visit. This was once a walkway for servants to go to work. The owner also has two wineries in South Africa, which are specially provided here, with hundreds of global wines for guests to appreciate.
The rain finally stopped, left the castle, and walked around the countryside. A long thatched hut on the side of the road, with white walls, red doors and golden thatched roofs, has a joyful rural atmosphere.
I heard that such thatched roofs are quite hard to build and maintain, but the raw materials are cheap, so they can be seen everywhere in the local area. There is a village near Adair, and the cottages in the village are all covered with such kind and lovely thatched roofs.
Passing by several beautiful lakes, the lake and mountains are in line with the traditional British aesthetic, and the misty rain. Not far away, a group of deer came leisurely, and quietly ate grass not far away, then slowly walked away and disappeared into the darkness.
The most amazing thing is to watch local shepherds train their dogs. The process is very magical. When commanding different shepherds through different whistles, can they let the other one lie down safely while commanding one shepherd to run?
Even on distant hillsides, those dogs can accurately listen to the shepherd's instructions and control the flock to different places, which is even more accurate than machines.
According to experts, people living in cities have long degenerated with the sounds, colors and smells of nature, and cannot distinguish the smell of wind and the hints of dew, and cannot communicate with animals.
On a whim, I simply rented a carriage and walked around for a few laps. The coachman was very kind, driving a maroon horse named Jack. Johnson covered his plaid blanket and wandered leisurely among the countryside. He actually saw flocks of deer and huge rainbows after the rain...
The hostess is enthusiastic and simple, and gives simple snacks and hot tea with pastoral flavor. It is simple but very suitable for passers-by who are struggling to replenish energy.
Suddenly I remembered that Li Dan once complained that in this kind of wilderness, it was rare to meet a foreigner in ten years. It was fresh and amazing. For locals, tourists were pistachios like giant pandas.
Have you had a meal?

Afraid of getting drunk?
