That night, Yang Yun assembled and used all the wine steaming utensils.

It wasn't very troublesome, even if he didn't have superpowers, these things were easy for him, but the iron pot he bought was too big, which didn't fit well with the stove in the house, so Yang Yun could only build a new stove with bricks and stones in the backyard, which was specially used for steaming wine.

“…… Pay attention when you burn the fire, don't burn too much, this bamboo tube will flow out of the wine, just connect it to the wine jar, the process is not complicated, but pay attention to the sealing, do not let the wine volatilize, and you need to watch the ...... at any time"

Yang Yun personally went into battle and taught steamed wine.

All three girls are curious about new things, and each of them is so smart that they can teach them almost instantly.

Yang Yun demonstrated the winemaking steps and explained in detail, the most important thing is to ensure that the whole process is kept sealed at any time.

Because the process was not complicated, Ya Rou and An Lun soon learned, and even the youngest Ya Qing shouted that she could, and she looked eager to try.

An Lun said: "Master, it doesn't seem to be difficult." ”

Yang Yun smiled and said, "I won't let you do something too difficult...... Today, I'll find a craftsman and make a stand, so that whether you place an iron pot or a wooden retort, you can use utensils to assist, so that you can save a lot when you change the wine. ”

"Uh-huh."

The three girls nodded together.

……

……

Yang Yun tried to steam a pot of wine that night.

He took a small sip, and although it may not taste as good as he thought, it is much better than the popular liquor on the market today.

He is not in a hurry at all, in his opinion, everything needs to be tried slowly and improved, now it is just the initial stage, he does not have to do the sales process himself, he just needs to know the real feedback from the market.

In order to steam wine, Yang Yun worked until midnight before sleeping, and got up early the next morning to go to the workshop to answer the mao.

In the workshop, the craftsmen and Lifu had already prepared the materials and equipment for making gunpowder, just waiting for Yang Yun to arrive...... Before the official start of construction, a simple sacrificial ceremony is carried out, and the workshop can only start after completion.

Yang Yun already had experience in Shifang County, and the start of construction this time was much smoother than before, and the resources of the Jiedu Embassy were much better than those of the Shifang County Ya, and after half a day, due to the sufficient supply of materials, 256 catties of gunpowder had been successfully manufactured, and Yang Yun found that the quality was much better than that made in Shifang County.

"True person, if you really have profound mana, you can actually create such a divine artifact...... You can be regarded as a great contribution to the people of Shudi. ”

Han Qinglie, who gave Yang Yun a hand, is a native of Pixian County, Yizhou, and this time he made trouble in the Nanban, and his hometown was also threatened, and he was excited to witness the power of gunpowder this time.

Han Qinglie was worried at the beginning that "the water and soil are not adaptable", what Yang Yun can make in Shifang County, can not be made in Chengdu, although in that case the main responsibility lies with Yang Yun, but he will also have joint and several responsibility, and his achievements will be in vain.

Now I can finally rest assured that the finished product will come out on the day of the workshop's start, and Han Qinglie can go back to hand over the business, feeling that the future is full of hope.

Yang Yun was not surprised at all by the smooth manufacture of gunpowder, and said modestly: "The real master is not me, but the family teacher, and the workshop can gradually increase the raw material reserves in the future, so that the output will also grow rapidly...... But whether it is preparing materials or concocting finished products, you must pay attention to safety and avoid Mars...... By the way, is the warehouse ready for fire and moisture protection? ”

Han Qinglie said respectfully: "I have found a separate warehouse next to the armory in Benfang to store it, and the guards who are responsible for guarding it are the guards and horses of the Marshal Mansion, so I guarantee that there will be no accidents." ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yun nodded with relief, "After a hard day, I'm tired, and it's time to go back and rest." ”

When Han Qinglie heard this, he said anxiously: "Real person, don't go...... The war on the front line is tightening, you are leaving, isn't there no one to start work at night? ”

Yang Yun knew that he couldn't give these people a good face, so he immediately put on a straight face: "I said that this thing is very dangerous, and the most taboo is Mars, how do you let me start work at night?" Even if you have to work, you have to carry the raw materials, and then carefully grind the sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal into powder, the finer the better, and when you do the work, the lanterns must be far apart, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble. ”

"You have the raw materials ready, and tomorrow I will cast spells and concoct them...... Next, I have to go to the government school to study, and I can't stay in the workshop all the time, so the daily affairs here will be left to you. ”

Han Qinglie had a bitter face, obviously reluctant to pretend to be respectful, and said with a bitter face: "Real people go slowly." ”

……

……

At a quarter in the afternoon, Yang Yun returned home.

He was anxious to check the progress of the three girls' steaming, so there was no delay on the way.

Living up to his expectations, the three girls had already steamed two pots of wine, and the jar was full.

But unexpectedly, the faces of the three girls were full of regret.

Yarou looked at Yang Yun and said with a sad face: "There is so much wine, but only so little bit can be made." ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Since you want to remove the dross in it, of course it will inevitably be wasted...... Don't underestimate this jar of wine, it can be sold for at least 20,000 yuan. ”

"So much? We spent about a thousand dollars on this jar of wine, so the wine has twenty times the profit? ”

An Lun's eyes lit up, she was much more sensitive to money than others.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Who made us a unique business?" However, it is unclear whether this wine will be popular after its launch, and we will have to wait and see if this business is good or not. ”

Later, Yang Yun asked An Lun and Yarou to send the newly brewed steamed wine to the restaurant, while he stayed at home and pondered how to improve the steaming utensils.

However, he has no immediate plans to transform it, and the market feedback on this new wine has not yet come out, and the output only needs to be able to steam two jars of wine a day.

After that, he asked An Lun and Yarou to send a jar of wine to the restaurant on time every day, and from the feedback he received, this wine did not sell well.

"The old shopkeeper said that his business was not good, because the wine was sold too expensive, none of the guests were willing to buy, and yesterday someone sold a pot of wine with the mentality of trying it, but after drinking a sip, his face was flushed with red at that time, and he coughed again and again, and said that the taste was too strong and difficult to accept."

An Lun was unwilling to be authentic.

Yang Yun steamed the wine for seven or eight days, and the puree used was not brewed by himself, but bought from the market, and he folded a lot of capital in it, and now no one buys it, An Lun is very distressed.

Yang Yun didn't care too much, and said with a slight smile: "Good things are not accepted in a day or two, they should still be brewed, but for the time being, you don't need to send too much, just send them once every two days, let them digest the previous inventory." ”

……

……

The wine steamed by Yang Yun showed no signs of opening up sales for the time being, but he did not rest, continued to go to work step by step, clocked in, went home to make wine, and then went to the government to learn to make a living.

At this time, the war between Datang and Tubo was in a state of stalemate.

Luoyanzhou City on the bank of the Jinchuan River, built on the mountain, stuck in the main road to Yazhou from Huiye, the geographical location is extremely important, at this time the Tang Dynasty spent huge manpower and material resources to build the mountain city, is facing the continuous siege of the Tubo army.

Jiannan Jiedu made Wang Yu lead the army, starting from the Yazhou Prefecture Zhiyan Road, over the Erlang Mountain, along the way successively encountered a small group of Tubo soldiers and horses attacked, unmoved, after determining that when the city of Mazhou is the Luding safety of later generations, along the Jinchuan, the army entered Luoyan Prefecture, just encountered the Tubo army attacking the city.

As a result, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fought fiercely in Stone Town on the bank of the river, and after several days of fighting, the two sides suffered casualties on each other.

At night, the Tibetan soldiers and horses retreated, and the Tang defenders in the city finally got a chance to breathe.

The soldiers sat down in exhaustion and slumped up and down the city, clutching their weapons in a daze.

There is still some time before the stove is opened, the soldiers have no heart to stand up and move their muscles and bones, the physical discomfort caused by the lack of oxygen on the plateau makes it take more effort to do every action than on the flat ground, and now many officers and soldiers often have tinnitus, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat for no reason, and they suspect that they are seriously ill if they are not adapted to the water and soil, and the morale of the army is low.

Wang Yu personally inspected the city defense, and after returning to the marshal's mansion, his expression was serious, at this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was haggard, and he knew that he was overworked at a glance.

His staff, a forty-year-old man named Bai Qiyuan, said: "Jie Shuai, this is not a way, Tubo seems to be bound to Luoyan Prefecture, the soldiers and horses used to attack the city have hardly been broken in the past few days, they rely on the familiar terrain, know that we are far away, repeatedly attack and disturb the city, day and night, now our soldiers are tired, so I am afraid that the army will be discouraged." ”

Wang Yu said: "Can't you see that the Tubo people just want us to take the initiative to kill them?" But we don't know anything about the situation in Tibet, and if it is a trap, how many soldiers and horses will be attacked, how many will be buried. ”

Wang Yu is cautious by nature, which is also his consistent style of leading troops, and he will not take risks easily.

Originally, he held on to Luoyan Prefecture and just waited for the Tubo people to withdraw their troops after they were gone, but this time the Tubo people were menacing, and the number of soldiers and horses far exceeded imagination, putting on a posture of fighting Wang Yu to the end.

Bai Qiyuan was worried: "The five edicts are in turmoil, and Tubo insists on going to war with our dynasty in order to subdue Nanfan...... They put on a posture of not taking Luoyan Prefecture and not collecting troops in Dangma Prefecture, I am afraid that there will be a back-up move next. Now that the northern border is restless, it is impossible for the imperial court to send additional troops and horses in the southwest, and if the Tibetan region continues to attack the city, once the city is damaged, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"You mean ......?"

Wang Yu looked up at Bai Qiyuan.

Bai Qiyuan said: "Divide the men and horses, detour to Lengzhuguan from the south, enter the enemy's rear from the yellow lawn, and suddenly launch an attack, flanking the front and rear, or you can break the enemy in one fell swoop." ”

Wang Yu took the case: "Ben Shuai has long had this intention, the Tubo people occupy the right time and place, we are not suitable for the climate and environment here, the more it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for us, we can only find a way to break the enemy as soon as possible." The Tibetan siege of the city for days has made us almost breathless, and we will inevitably have a contempt mentality, and the vigilance of the rear has become weaker. ”
