Chapter 13: New Wine is Born

"Fauber, which winery do I get my wine from?" Li Feng asked.

Since you have made up your mind to make wine, you must know the brewing industry in Chang'an and understand the competitiveness of the brewing industry.

Fu Bo did not doubt him, and said: "Dujia Wine Workshop is well-known in Chang'an. ”

"Who is the leading boss of Chang'an Distillery?"

"Cui's winery, Qinghe Cui's winery, Sanle pulp is made by their family, and many of their wines have become tribute wines to the imperial court."

Li Feng nodded slowly, and then asked some more about the winery.

"Fauber, I'll discuss something with you."

"Young master, if you have something, you just tell me."

Li Feng nodded and said, "I want to open a wine shop by myself, I can buy a wine shop, or I can open a wine shop." Which do you think is suitable? ”

"Young Master, why do you suddenly want to open a wine shop?" Fauber asked curiously.

For the matter of opening a winery, Fubo did not feel inappropriate, he opened a tavern to sell wine, and begged his grandfather to ask his grandmother to buy wine every day, so it was better to open a winemaking workshop by himself.

Is it that easy to just start a brewery? He was even more curious about why Li Feng suddenly wanted to open a brewing workshop.

Li Feng immediately explained: "I have a wine-making technique in my hand, which was given to me by the master who asked me to cook, and he said that Chang'an's wine is light and tasteless, not delicious at all, similar to horse urine."

Even if it is considered the best syrup in the world, it is a little better than horse urine. For this, he gave me a recipe for making spirits.

Originally, we had no power or power, and once we came up with the recipe for brewing, it might lead to disaster, but now it is different, Your Majesty not only knows us, but even we know several people in the officialdom, even if someone comes to attack us, they have to weigh it. ”

Fauber was shocked in his heart, he had never thought that such an expensive wine as Sanle Pulp would be considered to be just a little better than horse urine.

What's more, his young master also has a strong liquor recipe that tastes better than Sanle pulp.

"Young Master, is what you said true?"

"Huh?"

"What the old slave means is young master, do you really have the recipe for brewing spirits?"

Li Feng looked at the excited Fu Bo and nodded suspiciously.

"Great, young master, no matter what, you have to leave this matter to the old slave to do, please rest assured, the old slave will definitely make the wine shop bigger and bigger." Fauber assured.

"No, I said Fauber, why are you so excited all of a sudden?"

Fu Bo said: "Young master, the old slave's only hobby is drinking, so the old man opened this wine shop for me to take care of, and because of this, I have drunk all the fine wines in Chang'an, and I always feel that something is missing."

Now I know, it's just that the wine is not strong enough, and the drink is not enjoyable at all. So, young master, you must put me in charge of the affairs of the winery. ”

Li Feng finally understood, it turned out that Fu Bo was an alcoholic, and he was still a thousand glasses of wine, because he had never been seen drunk, but the wine was indispensable.

"Well, the winery will be handed over to you, and in that case, the winery will be built in the village that Your Majesty gave us.

Fauber, tomorrow you can take the money to buy some materials, and those rooms, tear it down, and build a new brewery.

I want all the taverns in Chang'an to go to my winery. ”

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely make your goal come true."

Li Feng nodded and said again: "Close the door, and then we will start to brew some spirits simply now, and give them to Lao Li tomorrow, so that they can invest some shares, which can be regarded as repaying them." ”

"Okay." Fauber agreed.

Li Feng, who is affectionate and righteous, who doesn't like it when he sees it.

On the same day, Li Feng used simple tools to make distilled liquor in the tavern, which was distilled on the basis of the original liquor to make the liquor stronger.

As soon as the first bottle of distilled spirit comes out, let Fauber taste it.

Fauber took a sip of the distilled spirit, and a burning sensation passed from his throat into his stomach, and he immediately felt as if his stomach was burning.

Seeing this, Li Feng directly stopped Fu Bo from continuing to take a second sip, so as not to get drunk.

Fu Bo could only lick his lips, glanced at the wine bottle, and began to make distilled spirits after learning Li Feng's method.

When Fu Bo could make distilled spirits by himself, Li Feng began to make something else, that is, high-purity alcohol.

He knew that the emergence of spirits would increase the wine culture of Datang by several levels, which could increase his achievement points.

As for alcohol, its main use is sterilization and disinfection, Li Feng knows that everything is okay in Datang, the only bad thing is that the sanitary conditions are too poor.

In case of any disease, it is a minor disease in modern times, but it is an incurable disease for Datang.

Alcohol made him feel a little more secure.

Another point is that after being injured on the battlefield, there is often no effective means of disinfection, and many injuries and illnesses are caused by wound infection.

Therefore, if the alcohol can be sold to the military of the imperial court, it is believed that it must be very popular, so that its own brewery will have a strong backstage.

Thinking of this, Li Feng, who was originally a little tired, instantly felt no longer tired, and concentrated on brewing alcohol.

The sky slowly turned from black to gray, then from gray to white, and finally the sky turned blue, and a large fireball hung in the east.

Li Feng and Fu Bo each opened the door of the tavern with a pair of dark circles under their eyes.

At this time, there are already a lot of pedestrians coming and going.

"Aha." Li Feng yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said, "Fu Bo, wait for Lao Li and them to notify me when they come, and then you go to buy materials and go to Taiping Village in Wannian County, just now I read the holy decree, our land and house are there." ”

"Okay, young master."

Li Feng turned around and went back to the room to rest, busy all night, a little tired, especially at night when the lights were not on at all, his eyes were extremely tired.

When Fu Bo waited for Li Feng to rest, he couldn't wait to take out a bottle of distilled liquor that he had distilled by himself last night, and he was drooling unconsciously, missing the sip of wine last night.

"Gollum."

"Ah, good wine."

After taking a sip of wine, Fauber couldn't help but praise it.

After closing the lid, Fu Bo couldn't help but say: "No wonder the young master said that the wine here, no, the wine of the entire Tang Dynasty is like horse urine, even if it is Sanle pulp, it is only a little better than horse urine." ”

"Fu Bo, you actually said that Sanle pulp is only a little better than horse urine, you must know that Sanle pulp is the tribute wine of the imperial court, and every time Your Majesty feasts the ministers or entertains outsiders, it is Sanle pulp." Li Er and the others suddenly appeared in front of Fu Bo.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side said with a smile: "I think, this is not to eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, after Sanle pulp becomes a tribute wine, its price has also risen, and ordinary people can't afford it." ”

Du Ruhui said: "Fu Bo, do you say this because you have drunk better wine?" ”

"Just him, Lao Du, don't be funny, the best wine we've ever drunk is Sanle pulp, is there any better wine in this Datang than this?" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled.

This is not to laugh at Fauber, he is telling the truth, except for Sanle pulp, there is no best wine at the moment.

"Alright, don't talk about it." Li Er spoke, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui were not talking.

"Fubo, where is Li Feng?"

Fu Bo was not angry, and said with a smile: "The young master has instructed, after Engong comes, let me go and call him, please stay for a while, and I will come when I go." ”

"Hmm."

When Fu Bo entered the store, the eldest grandson Wuji said again: "Your Majesty, it has always been others who have been waiting for you, and this time it has become you and others." ”

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling laughed, this was deliberately watching Li Er's embarrassment.

Li Er glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said angrily: "You talk a lot." ”

Li Feng came out, and when he saw Li Er and the others, he immediately said: "Let Engong wait in a hurry, and please forgive me, Fubo, bring wine to Engong and give a bottle to each of them." ”

"Yes."

Fauber took out four bottles of fine wine, all of which they had distilled overnight last night, and in addition to these four bottles, there were eight bottles. There are also two bottles of alcohol.

Li Ersia took the wine bottle suspiciously, what are you doing here? When we haven't drunk alcohol?

The eldest grandson Wuji jumped out again and said, "Li Feng, today I said that I would go to my Zhuangzi to plant potatoes, why did you give me a bottle of wine?" If we make amends, we will be forgiven, and we will have just arrived.

If you want to invite us to drink, then talk about it in three months, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pay for it then. ”

Li Feng said with a smile: "Lao Sun, you are still so straightforward, I sent wine to everyone with the intention of making amends, and more importantly, I want everyone to taste the new wine I just brewed, I guarantee that after you drink it, you will feel that Sanle pulp is horse urine."

No, it's worse than horse pee. If you don't believe me, you can taste it now. ”

Li Er and the others all got a wine bottle suspiciously, opened the lid of the wine bottle one after another, and then a strong aroma of wine came to their nostrils.

"It's a strong wine."

Li Er was originally a wine lover, and when he smelled this unprecedented aroma of wine, he couldn't help but praise it.

Then without waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji and others to object, he took a sip, which scared the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui's hearts were about to jump out, you are the emperor, you need someone to test the poison before you can drink it.

Only Fang Xuanling opened the lid of the wine bottle calmly, and also took a sip, a burning sensation passed from the mouth through the throat and intestines, and finally, into the stomach, causing the pores of the whole body to open, and roared comfortably: "Good wine, spicy enough, in comparison, what I drank before was really like horse urine." ”

Li Feng said with a smile: "If Engong wants to drink, you can come and drink at any time, now let's set off to Lao Sun's Zhuangzi." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui just wanted to take a sip of Li Feng's wine, when they heard Li Feng say that they were going to plant potatoes, so the two of them had to put away the wine bottles.

This made the two of them even more curious in their hearts, how delicious this bottle of wine was that even Li Er and Fang Xuanling applauded.

As soon as everyone left the city, the eldest grandson, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him and said, "Xianggong, I have been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come?" ”

Li Er smiled and pointed at the eldest grandson and said, "Cheap one, he also wants to go with him, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
