It took Chu Peng a whole day to finish these tedious things, but he didn't have the slightest patience, because only the most serious and attentive manufacturing can make a peerless wine, otherwise, even if your skills are amazing and peerless, you will not have great achievements, just like a singer, if you sing without emotion, no matter how sweet the voice is, there will not be too many people like it.

And last night, Chu Peng had already finished the ground glutinous rice and the century-old koji, and Chu Peng also came up with his secret recipe in a timely manner, plus the location here is strange, so in just one night, it took ten days to ferment elsewhere, so the next step is to carry out the next step of distillation.

Today, early in the morning, after the old man and Wang Yi both went out, Chu Peng began to move on to the next step. Distillation, in the process of winemaking, is a very important relief, and it can even be said that the quality of the wine is directly related to the work in distillation.

Even Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty known as the "medical immortal", also described in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "The method is to use strong wine and dregs to steam into the retort, so that the gas is up, and the drip dew is taken with a vessel." All sour wine can be steamed. In recent times, only glutinous rice or japonica rice, or millet or rice or barley are steamed, and koji is brewed in the urn, seven days, steamed with retort, it is as clear as water, the taste is very strong, and the wine is covered with dew. ”

This shows the importance of distillation in the winemaking process.

At this time, Chu Peng's hands and feet were dissatisfied, and he removed all the items around him, and built a fire in the same place, placed the retort on the fire, and laid two large wooden barrels next to the steam, and two thin bamboo pipes connected the retort and the wooden barrel.

Now, what you have to do is to wait, after all, the current step is distillation, and Chu Peng has no more way. As the minutes passed, the fire was still burning there, and even because it was the height of summer, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it burned even more vigorously.

Slowly, Chu Peng smelled a burst of wine, refreshing, and people couldn't help but revel in it, the smell seemed to be faint, there was a kind of sweetness, happiness, but in an instant, it seemed to smell blood again, heroism, all kinds of pictures flashed in Chu Peng's mind.

"What's this? Why does it smell so good? ”

"yes, what is it?"

“……”

Suddenly, a commotion woke Chu Peng up from his intoxication, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there were already more than a dozen people around, and most of them were playing chess at the entrance of the village, the old man, Yang Kun, Li Yong was among them, and Wang Yi also came over.

Chu Peng's heart flashed, and he knew that because this was a tailwind outlet, probably because the wind blew the overflowing aroma of wine into the village, it attracted them to come, Chu Peng was very confident in the wine he brewed, and he firmly believed that his wine had such a charm.

Sure enough, after seeing Chu Peng on the side, the old man Suo no longer discussed with Yang Kun, and asked Chu Peng directly: "Xiao Chu, what's going on?" Obviously, he could be sure that this matter had an inseparable relationship with Chu Peng.

Hearing the old man's question, the surrounding villagers also looked at Chu Peng with admiration, which shows that in the past two days, the old man has gotten along well with the people in the village, and it is obvious that they have already met.

Chu Peng glanced at them and found that they were all looking forward to it, obviously, the people who had come here were all wine lovers, so they didn't sell it, and said directly: "Obviously, I'm distilling, I believe everyone is more familiar with the process of making wine than me." ”

Hearing Chu Peng's words, everyone present only felt a burst of disappointment, winemaking, most of the people here have made their own wine, but when distilling, they have never smelled such a wonderful aroma of wine, and even if the quality of the wine is better, the aroma of wine is only coveted, but it can't reach this dreamlike situation.

How can this not make them wonder, especially from the smell of pride and ambition from the aroma of wine, but also make them feel that the blood is rushing, their faces are red, and there seems to be a kind of flame burning in their hearts, feeling the heroism of the strong man who is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for the blood of the Huns.

"Brother Chu, just tell us, even if this is wine, it's not ordinary, what kind of wine is it." A familiar voice came.

Chu Peng saw that it was Lao Li, Chu Peng was not surprised by his arrival at all, judging from the monkey wine, he knew that Lao Li was also a good wine person, and now he could smell such a wine, how could there be no him, if that was the case, Chu Peng was surprised.

It can be said that there are more than a dozen men in the village now, except for those who go out to work, but most of them are old people, after all, young people still have to work. It can be seen that Niujiao Village is full of wine lovers.

Seeing such a group of wine lovers, how could Chu Peng still have something to hide, and immediately said with a smile: "This is my self-created wine, and it exudes such a wine aroma, which is related to the characteristics of the wine." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all very surprised, but they didn't expect that this was not the ancient famous wine they imagined, but Chu Peng's own creation, especially the old man, Wang Yi was equal to someone Chu Peng was very familiar with, and immediately stepped forward to observe.

Wang Yi couldn't help it the most, as soon as he stepped forward, he immediately probed, the liquid in the barrel was red, like bright red blood, and, because the temperature of the wine had not yet gone down, the smell that came out, the word "strong", Wang Yi who had penetrated the past only felt the strong smell of wine, as if he was on the battlefield, on the battlefield, countless soldiers were fighting, which made him feel enthusiastic about the crown.

But the smell of this wine is amazing, and even if he is very good at drinking, he still can't stand it. turned around and immediately retreated, all his face was red, and there was even some confusion in his eyes, obviously a little drunk.

Everyone laughed when they saw this, but Wang Yi didn't care at all, and was still intoxicated.

And Lao Li obviously couldn't hold it back, and came to another wine barrel, and when he looked at it, the wine in it was not as transparent as usual, but it was not as blood-red as the first wine barrel, just a faint pink, which made people feel very warm.

And Lao Li seems to be very touched in his heart now, not as embarrassed as Wang Yi, but he is also intoxicated, smiling the most, and seems to miss it very much.

Seeing that the two people on the probe had become like this, the old man's heart couldn't help but become more curious, and he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chu, what's going on?" ”

Chu Peng laughed, seeing that his wine could have such an effect, he was very satisfied, and now the old man asked, he immediately took a spoonful of wine with wine, put it in the glass, opened his mouth and said: "This is the first kind of wine, I named it 'Hero's Blood', this wine has a characteristic, spicy, but people who understand wine can taste the heroic, ambitious, and proud national feelings, of course, you can also taste the hero's loneliness, loneliness, sadness, all kinds of emotions, all in a glass of wine, which makes people nostalgic." ”

Listening to Chu Peng's words, the old man's eyes lit up, the various characteristics that Chu Peng said just now just happened to hit his arms, not to mention that the old man was originally from the military, and he was even more familiar with Haozhuang, so the more he listened, the more he liked it, and after Chu Peng's introduction was completed, his eyes were like light bulbs.

Moreover, he looked at the cup of "hero's blood", the wine was red, it was really like blood, and the heat emitted was even more intoxicating, and he went over all of a sudden, reached out and took it from Chu Peng's hand, and drank it with his mouth open.

This time, everyone present was shocked, and everyone was surprised by the old man's behavior, the wine that had just been distilled could not be drunk, one was because there might be toxins in it, and the other was because the alcohol was too high.

Although Chu Peng can be sure that his wine, even if it is distilled for the first time, it is absolutely not poisonous, but the degree is even higher, especially since this "heroic blood" is still a liquor carefully brewed by Chu Peng, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand it.

The old man only felt that the wine ran down his intestines and reached his stomach, and suddenly, the original bland wine was like a fire burning, and his whole stomach felt hot and hot, and his internal organs were burning.

At this moment, when outsiders saw that the old man had finished drinking, his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole person was stunned all of a sudden, just when everyone wanted to push him, they saw the old man burp loudly, exhaled a long breath, and said: "Good wine, enough taste, I like it." ”

Then I saw that his color was blurred, his steps were empty, obviously this glass of wine had already made him drunk, you know, the old man was born in the military, although he was known as a Confucian general, but his alcohol volume was not smaller than others, this was practiced on the wine table.

Even if he is older now and his body is not as good as before, it is impossible to get drunk easily, but after drinking a glass of Chu Peng's wine, he looks like this, which shows how strong the wine made by Chu Peng is.

As the old man's bodyguard, Broken Blade has been staring at the old man all the time, and when he saw that the old man was about to fall, he quickly stepped forward and helped him up.

And seeing that the old man was already like this, the villagers watching from the side couldn't help but exclaim, they had also brewed wine themselves, what does the way of nature represent now, after all, this is an ancient method of winemaking, not a modern machine winemaking, in ancient times, the degree of wine was so low that it was unimaginable, even if it was distilled for the first time, the degree was only about fifty degrees, and it was impossible to have the effect of Chu Peng's wine.

And what they don't know is that the "heroic blood" brewed by Chu Peng, even after it is brewed, has at least 60 degrees, which can be comparable to the "Maotai" that has always been famous in Huaxia, and the taste is definitely better.

But fortunately, Chu Peng is strict with this wine, and it will not adversely affect the human body, even if you drink it like this, you will not have a headache and dizziness when you wake up, but feel refreshed, this is because this wine always has a little medicine in it. (To be continued.) )
