Chapter 87 Master is good or bad!

In the past two days, two shops have also opened on the opposite side of Huaming Building and Mingyue Building.A tavern in Juyou Building, and a clothing workshop called Hongzhuang.

The dishes in the restaurant are all sold by Ding Yi, and the red dress shop is also imitated by Mingyue Tower.The business is actually similar to that of Huaminglou and Mingyuelou!

Wang Hongcheng and Cui Bin were sitting in the Juyou building, and they were looking at Ding Yi's shop opposite with a smile on their faces.

"Brother Wang is still amazing, he actually took [-]% of the recipes sold by Huaminglou!" Cui Bin raised his wine glass and cupped his hands.

"Haha!" Wang Hongcheng smiled triumphantly, and said, "Brother Cui Xian is quite capable! He actually imitated the costumes of Mingyue Tower so well!"

The two drank a toast and looked at each other and smiled!

"Ding Yi would never have imagined that the things he sold would steal his business! Hahaha..."

"Now there is Pegasus Workshop, how is the master craftsman you contacted?" Wang Hongcheng asked.

"Hmph! That person doesn't agree with it, and he won't increase the amount of money!" Cui Bin immediately became angry when he mentioned this, a craftsman is so ignorant.

"Why is that so! He doesn't agree, so let's just let him agree!" Wang Hongcheng said to Cui Bin winkingly.

"Brother Wang means..."

"Haha... Come on, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" Wang Hongcheng raised his glass suddenly.

"Oh? Haha... If you are not drunk, you will not return!" Cui Bin looked at him and said knowingly!
……

Wine is a good thing, and there are various wine cultures in later generations.At the dinner table, when talking about business, talking about sentiment, there are almost all kinds of occasions where there is wine, except for a few exceptions.

The distiller has already been built, and now Ding Yi and Wen Qiang are ready to start brewing wine.

The origin of the distiller began in the early or middle period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the alchemy technique spread wildly!In ancient my country’s mercury refining, a simple low-temperature oxidation roasting method was first adopted. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it developed into a closed mercury pumping method. The container was sealed. When heated, the mercury vapor decomposed from the cinnabar condensed on the inner wall of the container.This mercury refining equipment, together with the condensing device and the mercury collector, constitutes a relatively primitive distiller.

It is well documented that the technology of distilling liquor was developed in the Song Dynasty. Whether there was distilling shochu in the Tang Dynasty has always been the focus of people's attention.The word shochu first appeared in the literature of the Tang Dynasty.Such as Bai Juyi's (772-846) "newly ripened lychees are the color of cockscombs, and shochu is just opening with amber light".Tao Yong (a man in Dahe Dazhong, Tang Dynasty) wrote a poem "Since I have made wine in Chengdu, I will go to Chang'an without thinking about myself".Among the famous wines listed by Li Zhao in Tang's "National History Supplement" is "Jiannan Zhishaochun".Some modern people therefore believe that the soju mentioned is distilled soju.

However, judging from the method of shochu recorded in the "Touhuang Miscellaneous Records" of the Tang Dynasty, it is a method of heating and promoting the aging of wine.For example, it is recorded in the book: "Southern drinking is 'boiled', that is, the urn is filled with real wine, put on mud, and cooked with fire, otherwise it will not be drunk."Obviously this should not be the distillation of wine.In the Song Dynasty <<Beishan Wine Classic>>, this operation is also called "fire forced wine".Therefore, it is difficult to establish distilled shochu in the Tang Dynasty!

At least Ding Yi has never seen it before!
It is only an experiment at present, so the distiller is also simple to make.A sealed cauldron with a pipe connected to it, slightly slanted downwards. The pipe is made of copper, and the other end is wound a few times, passing through a large pot filled with water.Another wine jar was picked up outside!
There is no wine mash, and the existing wine brewed with wheat is distilled directly.Add wine and firewood, Wen Qiang lights up the fire.

After a while, the fermented wine has reached the boiling point, and the gas is drilled out along the copper pipe and passed through the condenser.

tick, tick...

After the pot of fermented wine evaporated, the wine jar was only less than half full!
Ding picked up the wine jar and sniffed it tentatively.Mmmm...still the same flavor, still the same recipe!

"Wen Qiang! Come and have a drink!" Filling the wine glass, Ding Yi handed it to Wen Qiang!It's not that he can't drink, it's just that he is a little worried...

Wen Qiang was taken aback, the young master poured wine for himself!He tremblingly took the wine glass, and drank it up!

"Cough cough cough cough cough... Young master, is this... wine?" The acrid taste filled Wen Qiang's mouth, flowing down the river, passing through his intestines, and his whole body felt like it was burning.

"Yes, it's wine!" After Ding Yi finished speaking, he stared at Wen Qiang for a long time.Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he didn't fall to the ground, and he didn't hold his stomach and scream for pain.It's just that the whole person's face is red, and it takes a long time to go down!

Since it's fine... Ding Yi poured a little and tasted it himself.kindness……

Steam it again!
It was steamed twice again, and poured for Wen Qiang to drink.Wen Qiang has also learned to be smart, the young master is experimenting with himself!Good and bad!
Seeing that Wen Qiang took a sip tentatively, he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue!The effect should be good!

After Ding Yi tried it, he was probably sure that the wine was less than 52 degrees.It's just a little stronger than Niulanshan at [-] degrees, but it's not far behind.

At this time, there is less than one-third of the wine jug, this wine is really a waste of food!

Let Wen Qiang burn more than a dozen jars, Ding Yi took some ginseng and goji berries and soaked two jars!Instructing Wen Qiang to put away the still, Ding went to Qin's house with the wine jar in his arms.

Qin Qiong's body is no longer what it used to be, and she looks more energetic.At this time, he was waving a gold-plated gun in the mansion, and he was full of vigor.As for the move, Ding Yi didn't understand.Just look good!

"Uncle Qin, it's better for you to practice less and take care of your body. There are enemies on the grassland for you to deal with!" Ding Yi shouted.

Qin Qiong was already a little tired, put down the gold-plated gun, wiped off his sweat, and said with a smile: "Haha! Not bad, but now that my body is better, it's always uncomfortable if I don't swing it twice!"

Is it so strange?Why do I just want to lie on the couch, hug the girl, bask in the sun, and watch the seaside scenery!

"Uncle Qin, I brought you something good today!"

Qin Qiong was overjoyed when he saw the two wine jars held by Wen Qiang!
"Is this the medicinal wine you mentioned? I haven't drank for the past two days, but I'm suffocated! Hahahaha..."

"Hmph! I don't know who was caught drinking secretly yesterday!" Suddenly a female voice came.

When Ding Yi saw Mrs. Qin coming aside, he hurriedly saluted: "My nephew has seen Aunt Qin!"

"Ding Yi, you don't have to be so polite! Auntie hasn't thanked you yet, so why bother! Thanks to you, your Uncle Qin is in good health! Auntie thanked you!" Mrs. Qin looked at Ding Yi happily, her body A little owed.

Ding Yi hurriedly avoided, "This is what my nephew should do. Auntie, don't be so polite! My nephew has heard about Uncle Qin for a long time. He fought bravely for half his life and made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty. Such a heroic nephew Seeing it, my son admired it very much. It is my nephew's honor to be able to help Uncle Qin!"

"Anyway..." Mrs. Qin wanted to say something, but Qin Qiong came over and interrupted her, "Okay, go and see where Huai Dao is first!"

Mrs. Qin glared at Qin Qiong in response, and left gracefully.

"Go, sit inside!"...

…………

　Probably so, but if you want to make distilled wine, don't learn it! ! !
