Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 36 Brewing
Chapter 36 Winemaking
At this time, a very capable young man walked in quickly, he was his confidant, he nodded and said, "Master! What are your orders?"

"Qin An! You take someone outside to buy a hundred catties of wine, and then buy more porcelain bottles, the more the better!"

Qin An couldn't help nodding his head in agreement.

"How much food is there in the mansion?"

"Master, there are about three to five hundred catties left!"

"You can buy more grain, sorghum, wheat, rice..."

Qin An was a little surprised when he heard his order. It was obvious that the young master wanted to make wine.He didn't bother to ask too much, and hurriedly led people out of the mansion.

Qin Yang called in more than a dozen servants, and placed a one-man-high steamer in an open space to the west, with cooling towers and other utensils connected to it.A simple distillation purification process line has been set up.

In a hurry, I can only deal with it.

By this time Qin An had already bought wine and various grains.

Qin Yang ordered someone to pour the wine into the steamer, and ordered two servants to light a fire under the stove and pull the bellows.

He also ordered everyone to ferment the grain with several huge pottery urns.

Qin Yang wants to see if the ancient low-alcohol wine tastes the same as the later high-alcohol wine after purification.

After three or two days of fermentation, he decided to brew it entirely from new grain distillation.

After they were busy, everyone gathered around.

At this time, the flames under the stove were getting brighter and brighter, the steam in the steamer kept overflowing, and the smell of alcohol spread far away.

All the servants couldn't help but be greedy.

After half an hour, the temperature in the steamer is getting higher and higher.I saw a thin bamboo tube connected to the wine outlet, dripping fine wine, flowing into a large pottery urn under the bamboo tube, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing.

After a while, all the wine and water flowed into the pottery urn, which weighed about fifty or sixty catties.

Qin Yang scooped it up with a wooden spoon, took a sip, and felt that it was more than 20 degrees, which was much better than the wine in this world.But it is still far from the wine of later generations.

The wine is still a little sour and difficult to swallow.

Qin Yang ordered someone to clean the inside of the steamer quickly, and then poured the wine from the pottery urn into it.

Soon, the wine distilled out again.Qin Yang used a small wooden basin to hold the first three to five catties of wine, and put it aside, then used a pottery urn to fill the middle of the wine.

After picking up more than 30 catties, Qin Yang saw that there was not much wine in the steamer, so he replaced it with a small wooden basin, and took the tail wine, which weighed about five or six catties.

Both the first wine and the last wine contain too many impurities, which are not good for your health.

Qin An and the others looked at the wine in the three containers and couldn't help swallowing.

At this time, the wine is light blue in color and has a tangy aroma, which is a hundred times more attractive than the previous green turbid wine.

Qin Yang smiled slightly, and didn't care. He waited for the wine in the pottery urn to cool down, filled it with a wooden spoon, poured it into a porcelain bowl, and tasted it a little. He only felt that it was more than 40 degrees.

Much stronger than the original liquor, but still far inferior to the distilled liquor of later generations.

There was still some bitterness in the wine, but Qin Yang didn't dare to distill it any more.

There are now only more than 30 kilograms left of this hundred kilograms. If it is purified again, I am afraid that there will be less than ten kilograms left in the end.The wine brewed in this world was too wasteful, and the gain of purification was not worth the loss. He decisively gave up the idea and distilled it from grain himself in the future.

"Try it!"

Qin Yang took bowls and filled some for everyone.

Qin An and others raised their bowls and just drank into their mouths, when they suddenly spurted out.

"Master, your wine... is too... too strong... I can't stand it..."

Qin Yang chuckled: "I just want high-quality wine! If it's low, it will be tasteless..."

Although Qin An and the others were not used to it at first, they felt a long aftertaste in their mouths at this time, with a lingering fragrance on their lips and teeth, and the wine was free of impurities and the liquid was clear. Almost everyone could not resist its attraction.

At this moment, Qin An and the others were tentatively drinking it cautiously, feeling even more refreshing.Everyone couldn't help but praise: "Good wine! Good wine!"

"Master, the wine you made is ten thousand times better than the original wine, it tastes like holy water!"

Qin Yang smiled slightly.

At this time, Qin An and others suddenly caught a glimpse of Qin Yang's first wine and tail wine in two wooden basins.

"Master, your two drinks..."

Only then did Qin Yang remember: "Take it and throw it away! You can't drink it!"

Qin An and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes: "Master, why don't you give it to the little ones?"

Qin Yang was taken aback: "Very bad! It's worse than the original turbid wine!"

Qin An and the others patted their chests and said, "It's okay! Master! We are not afraid!"

They are all from poor families. Although they earn a lot of money every month, they have to support a large family, and they are reluctant to spend money on wine. Naturally, they are reluctant to throw away such free wine.

Qin Yang knew that although Toudaojiu had some sundries, it wouldn't cause any serious problems.Instructed: "Then you can only drink at night, not too much!"

"Wait for my young master to make wine with pure grain in a few days, and everyone can drink good wine!"

Everyone cheered loudly, and the two servants put away the two pots of wine.

At this time, a servant came over: "Master, there is a man named Wei Guogong Li Jing outside, please see him!"

"Li Jing? Please invite him in!" Qin Yang didn't expect Li Jing to come to visit.

He was about to go out to meet him in person, when a tall figure flashed, and Li Jing had already entered.

"Doctor Qin, please forgive me for disturbing you!" Li Jing bowed again and again.

Qin Yang hastily returned the gift: "General Li can wait for my Qin residence, it's for the boy!"

He secretly wondered why Li Jing came.

At this time, Li Jing laughed: "Just now, I have seen doctor Qin's miraculous medical skills, and he has completely cured the empress's stubborn illness. It is really a skill against the sky! The doctor is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. Li admired it until he came to visit recklessly... "

"General Li is absurd! I dare not be a kid!"

Li Jing still wanted to talk, but the smell of wine in the courtyard couldn't stop sticking to his nostrils. He stared at the pottery urn, and finally couldn't help asking: "Doctor Qin, this is..."

"Wine! I made some wine myself..."

Qin Yang said, opened the lid again, filled a bowl with a wooden spoon, and handed it to Li Jing.

"General Li, try it!"

As soon as the pottery urn was opened, the aroma of wine wafted into the nostrils.When Qin Yang came over with a bowl, it was even more refreshing.

Seeing that the wine was light blue and transparent, which was different from the original turbidity, Li Jing's eyes widened in surprise.He hastily took it.

"General Li, drink slowly! This wine is a bit strong!"

Li Jing hesitated for a moment, believed in Qin Yang, and took a small sip slowly. As soon as he reached the tip of his tongue, he felt a spicy rush.

Li Jing couldn't help coughing.Fortunately, Qin Yang reminded him earlier, and he paid attention again, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

But it became more and more like this, and Li Jing praised sincerely: "Good wine!"

He picked up the bowl again and drank it slowly.After drinking it in one breath, I felt as if I had swallowed a big mouthful of charcoal fire, the inside of the abdomen was hot, and a burst of energy rushed from the inside of the abdomen to the top of the head. Li Jing's forehead was dripping with sweat, but he felt extremely comfortable.

He happily praised: "Good wine!"

"I never thought Doctor Qin would brew his own fine wine!"

"Compared with those green water, it's like a sky-high difference!"
