The wine is pure and free of the slightest impurities. The pure, flawless liquor makes a cheerful sound of water flowing into the clay pot below, forming fine crumbling foam.

Ding Qi resisted the urge in his heart and continued to wait, not rushing to scoop out some wine to taste.

The master told him that the wine is divided into three stages, namely the head, the middle wine, and the tail, which shows that the alcohol content of the wine at different stages in the distillation process can also refer to the quality of the wine.

Needless to say, most people know that it is a part of the wine that has just come out. But in the real strict sense, there is actually no alcohol content, which contains many trace ingredients, and there are many aromatic substances, but the taste is not harmonious, and the violent taste is big, which is not good to drink, and it is not suitable for drinking.

The wine that comes out later is what we usually call the head of the wine, but the amount is not much, the alcohol content is high, and if it is not well controlled, it will be mixed with the pre-wine liquid in the following sense, resulting in a decrease in alcohol content. At this time, the hops are relatively large and disappear quickly, which is a standard for judging the head of wine.

The next wine that comes out is the medium sake, which has a mellow taste, a balanced aroma and the best quality. Its hops are evenly distributed, fine but clearly spaced, and the smell in the air is pleasant.

As the amount of sake produced decreases, the distillation stage comes to the final tail. At this time, there are many impurities in the tail wine, the water flavor is heavy, the content of aroma substances is sharply reduced, the alcohol content is reduced to less than 50 degrees, and the taste is much worse.

Ding Qi is inexperienced and can only judge according to his own guesses. He made a distinction according to what the master said, "looking at the flowers and picking the wine". At this time, the hops began to get smaller, and Ding Qi hurriedly brought a clay pot to replace the jar that had been filled with wine heads, and went to hold the best quality Chinese wine.

As the fire increased, more and more of the steam condensed into liquor, which fed into the clay pot. When it was about to overflow, Tinch immediately brought another clean clay pot to hold the liquor, one after the other, until the tail wine flowed out and then ended.

During the whole process, Ding Qi stared at the process of making wine without blinking, for fear that there would be a problem in any link, which can be regarded as accumulating experience for winemaking.

There were no big problems in the whole distillation process, mainly because the steam pipe exposed a lot of steam from the place where the bamboo cover and the bamboo pipe were connected at the beginning, and Ding Qi quickly wrapped it in a piece of deerskin to avoid revealing too much.

Since the first pot of fermented rice was not much, only one clay jar, and less than eight jars of distilled liquor were distilled, totaling about eighty catties. Among them, there is one can of wine, three cans of middle wine, and four cans of tail wine, and one can is about ten catties.

Seeing these exciting scenes, Ding Qi held back the excitement in his heart, and immediately picked up the clay pot full of wine and walked to the outside of the wooden shed, where White Fang and Fox were already waiting. When they got the news, they immediately came from their respective jobs, just to witness the birth of the fetish that the leader had spoken.

The clay pot that Ding Qi was holding should now be called a wine pot. And the liquor inside can be called kudzu wine. Place the jug on a table, then take a clean clay bowl and pour the fragrant kudzu head into the bowl again.

As mentioned earlier, the hops in the bowl at this time are very large and dissipate quickly, disappearing in less than three seconds, which shows that the alcohol content of the wine head is very high. This was followed by a spicy smell that rushed to the end of the nose, and although it didn't enter the throat, it felt like a rush.

Ding Qi has drunk a lot of good wine, and he doesn't particularly yearn for the wine in front of him that he thinks is shoddy, but because it is brewed by himself, he is more excited than he wants to drink. But the two of them around him, Bai Fang and the fox, were already drooling, and they couldn't wait to take a sip and feel the taste of the artifact. Although the thing in front of me is the same as water, the smell that makes you want to drink it clearly tells you that it is really a sacred object

！

"You two don't drink secretly, if there is an accident, don't blame me for not telling it!"

Ding Qi looked at the two of them and was worried that he would steal a drink if he left the two, so he hurriedly warned them. The wine brewed now, but I found it out by myself, and I don't know if there are toxic substances in it, such as methanol, and I don't know how many toxic substances there are. At present, it is a primitive society, but there are no inspection and testing tools, and we can only rely on testing and exploration to accumulate experience. If the methanol content is excessive, it will cause the blindness of White Fang and the fox, and the death of the two at worst, which is not what Ding Qi wants to see.

After the two stared at each other, Ding Qi immediately turned around and went under the wooden shed, brought a jar of Chinese wine and poured it into the second pottery bowl. The hops produced at this point vary in size from millet grains to sorghum grains, and the hops last for about 15 seconds. The wine has a mellow and refreshing flavor, a mellow smell, and a pleasant flavor that spreads around and makes people swallow.

Ding Qi's throat rolled twice, but White Fang and the fox had already begun to salivate at this moment, stretched their heads on the wine bowl, and sniffed the wine fiercely, which was even more unbearable than just now. It was as if there was a woman in front of them who had excited them, and if it hadn't been for Tinch's order, they would have pounced on them to taste the deliciousness of the wine.

Judging from the hops, the quality of this first Chinese wine is good, and the alcohol content reaches about 55 degrees, so it can be drunk directly.

When Tin Qi poured the tail wine into the third clay bowl, the hops produced were the size of yellow rice grains, and the number was very small, and the dissipation rate was slow, and the hops lasted about twenty-two seconds. The smell of the wine that burst out was a little bland, and it quickly dissipated in the wind, and it did not stay for long. Obviously, the quality of the tail wine has dropped a lot, and it is a thousand miles worse than that of the Chinese wine.

The first time he saw the tail wine poured into the bowl, Ding Qi felt that the tail wine was much better than the blended wine prepared by some small distilleries in the 21st century. It can be seen that it is better to have pure grain wine!

Three liquors, three qualities, a verdict!

It's just that Ding Qi is cautious, and he still has to conduct animal testing. So what kind of animal is the best fit? Some people recommend monkeys, some people recommend horses, and some people recommend pigs. But these are not the most suitable, and the most suitable ones can only be human beings who can speak and express.

And among the existing human beings, Tinch chooses slaves, of course, and ready-made slaves!

"Fox, go and call that slave Ugin of the Ugin tribe, and call the other two slaves by the way."

The fox walked away.

"White Fang, you go get something to eat, you want a big piece of meat. At the end of the day, I haven't eaten much! ”

White Fang also hurried to the canteen in Tongcun to get food.

At present, the model of Tongcun, Lucun and Yancun is the same as the management model of Ningcheng, and there are also special canteens. After Ding Qi came, the canteen also specially arranged a master to cook for Ding Qi, which basically guaranteed that he could eat at any time.

Looking at the three trembling Ugin tribe slaves in front of him, Ding Qi was a little amused, he didn't expect these people to be so afraid of him. As everyone knows, Ugin was frightened by the punishment at that time, and when he went back, he and their people who were also from the Ugin tribe were afraid, and they were also afraid together, and took Ding Qi for a devil.

At this moment, this devil in everyone's mouth actually stood in front of him and others with a smile, which really made them feel scared, and they didn't know what would happen to them next.

Do you want to invite us to dinner?

Peeking at the table in front of him, he saw two large bowls of meat and three bowls of "water", and Ugin thought in his heart. It's just that he thinks that drinking so little water after eating meat is too little, isn't he afraid of choking? There should be more of them.

If Dingch knew what Ugin was thinking, I wonder if he would laugh at Ugin's ignorance. I don't even know what is in front of me, but I dare to think about more

, aren't you afraid of dizziness?

Ugin and the others saw that the "devil" did not speak, and they did not dare to say anything, so they could only look down at the ground, their eyes rolling around, and they were thinking. After a while, a fresh smell of plants entered his nose, just like the smell of steamed kudzu that he had eaten in the past two days. But it's more appealing than that taste, and I feel the urge to find the source of this taste. If you don't dare to look at your eyes, you start looking with your nose.

Just as the three of Ugin kept using their noses to find the source of that smell, the "devil" in their eyes spoke, and the action of making them sniff was immediately paused.

"Stop sniffing, it sounds like a pig. I have called you today because I have a glorious and great task for you. If it's done, the three of you will be the tasters of the tribe in the future, and you won't have to do all the tiring work, just sit there and taste the wine. I wonder if the three of you would like to? ”

After listening to Ding Qi's questioning, the three of Ugin were immediately shocked. They don't understand the meaning of "glorious and great" in Ding Qi's words, and they don't know what a taster is, let alone what wine tasting is for. All they hear is the phrase "as long as it's done, you don't have to do the toiling work."

But the three of them were a little puzzled, and the reason for their surprise was that they felt that this task was a little easy. Such a good thing shouldn't have happened to the three of them, right? But the three of them were a little yearning, hoping that this thing was true. Moreover, looking at the meat and "water" placed on the table, this task should be to let them eat meat and drink "water", right? What a good thing that is!

The three of them thought that Ding Qi came to them to invite them to dinner! How can this make Ding Qi embarrassed?

The three of them looked at each other and knew that what the devil had just said was true, and the three of them immediately nodded their heads in agreement.

"Yes! Yes, we do! ”

"Good! If you want to, then be ready to start. The contents of these three bowls are called wine, and each of you has taken a bowl and drank it, and we will continue. ”

The amount of wine poured out by Ding Qi is not large, about three taels of wine per bowl, only the tail wine is slightly more, half a catty. Because it's just an experiment, as long as you don't drink and people don't die, you won't have problems. The wine is the three quality of wine that Ding Qi poured just now, and Ugin is the best quality Chinese wine among them, Ding Qi said in his heart that it is cheap for you kid.

As soon as Ding Qi's words fell, Ugin, who was in the middle, suddenly spoke.

"Hey! I said the magic ...... Oh no, Chief. ”

Ugin almost said the word "devil" in one mouth, which shows how deeply he resents Ding Qi. Fortunately, he changed his words quickly, if Ding Qi knew that the other party called him a devil, he would probably treat this guy well.

"Chief, you're inviting us to dinner, I don't know what wine is, but let's just let us drink this water-like thing, a little bit of that, although we are your slaves, but don't you say that slaves should eat and drink like you. If you drink alcohol, you have to eat a lot of meat! ”

Ding Qi, who had just been attracted by Ugin's voice, thought that there was something wrong with the other party, but he didn't expect that he thought that he invited them to treat them! didn't expect that the latter sentence would make him tender inside and scorched outside, and he could be used as an appetizer in Ugin's mouth!

What a capable man!

Even the classic line "drink wine and eat meat" has been said, which shows that the Song Dynasty of this product in later generations is also a member of the heroes of Liangshan! Drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a big mouthful, that's called a boldness! It's just that no matter how you look at it, the other party doesn't look like a hero in Liangshan.

Ding Qi smiled slightly, but the smile was a little ill-intentioned.

"Good! No problem, drink in a big bowl and be sure to eat meat! Come on, eat as much as you want! ”

Ding Qi waved heavily, and someone immediately went to the cafeteria and brought six bowls of meat and put them in front of the three of them. This makes Ugin's eyes light up, and they can eat a full stomach, which is cool!
