Chapter 121: Wine Tasting and New Wealth

Listening to Xiangxue's call from the left and right, Fan Ming always felt a little uncomfortable, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Call me the same as before, otherwise I'll be angry!" ”

This sentence seemed to have an effect suddenly, Xiangxue sneered, returned to the cool girl before, stretched out her tender finger and pointed at Fan Ming's forehead, and said angrily: "You idiot, I don't know what to do, let you enjoy it or not." ”

Fan Ming laughed, grabbed Xiangxue's soft waist, Xiangxue sat in his arms with a coquettish voice, Fan Ming deliberately stretched out a pair of strange hands to Xiangxue's chest, and chuckled: "You should be presumptuous in front of your husband, and you should serve your husband's family." ”

Xiangxue smiled, hugged Fan Ming's neck, and said: "What is the master's family law, let's let the slave maid feed the young master first, and only after eating can I have the strength to implement the family law!" ”

Fan Ming smiled and was about to laugh with Xiangxue, but he smelled that there was still a smell of wine on Xiangxue's body, but it was mixed with her own body fragrance, which mixed into a special taste, and suddenly remembered something, and was stunned in the air for a while, "Wine, fragrance, flower water, yes!" ”

Xiangxue couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Master, what kind of wine are you talking about, what kind of dew, do you want to drink, I'll give you warmth." ”

Fan Ming couldn't help but hold Xiangxue's face and kiss it, "Girl, you are really my lucky star." ”

I can't help but Fan Ming is not excited, although he is engaged in construction with great fanfare these days, it looks beautiful, but in fact, the money in his pocket has bottomed out, if he doesn't find another source of wealth, it is estimated that he will have to drink the northwest wind soon, not to mention that Wang Jiaxuan is going to open a new store in the city, he can't be really embarrassed not to pay a penny.

Today, Xiangxue gave an inspiration, Da Song implemented a wine monopoly, but there was no such thing as perfume and essential oil, as long as he researched it, then there was no threshold, and it was always good to get a little bit out first to ease the finances.

And the most important thing is that the technical difficulty of the toilet water is not high, and the most important thing is that it is highly distilled.

It's a deceptively difficult question.

He had the idea of making highly distilled spirits before, but he never implemented it, but now that the conditions are ripe, he may really be able to give it a try.

Talking to Xiangxue about her thoughts, Xiangxue nodded and said, "Master, you can do it if you want to, I will definitely support you wholeheartedly, you just let it go, I still have money." ”

Thinking of it, Fan Ming planned to taste the existing wine first, and then he remembered that there seemed to be a burning knife in the north, so he asked: "Girl, go and take out the burning knife from the altar, I want to try it first." ”

"Well, I'll go get it." Xiangxue turned around and trotted away, and after a while, she brought a jar of wine over and poured a glass for Fan Ming.

Fan Ming couldn't wait to pick up the wine jug, poured it out in the cup, stretched out his tongue and tasted it in the cup, and suddenly showed a strange look on his face, although this wine has the fragrance of burning knives, but it is much worse in terms of concentration, at most only twenty or thirty degrees, and it is completely unsatisfactory when used to make perfume, it seems that this idea of being lazy is going to be in the soup.

Seeing Fan Ming's strange face, Xiangxue thought that something was wrong with the wine, so she also poured a glass and tasted it gently, a rushing smell of wine spread in her mouth, and the spicy almost choked her throat, "This wine is so strong, it is really a soju from the North." ”

Fan Ming smiled helplessly, and said to himself, "This wine is not strong, if only it could be stronger." ”

"Ahh Xiangxue almost screamed, such a strong wine is not too high, and it has to be stronger, can this be bearable.

"Anyway, if you don't want to, you still have to make your own wine." Fan Ming poured the wine in the cup into his mouth in one gulp, turned two in it and swallowed it again, remembering that he often used this way to drink wine in later generations, this is the way to drink red wine, but he found that using this method to drink liquor can also appropriately increase the degree of drunkenness, and can maintain that slightly drunk state for a long time, very easy to use, he didn't dare to pour it before this body was familiar with alcohol.

With a cup of soju, Xiangxue's already ruddy face became more and more red, which made Fan Ming laugh for a while.

The great pleasures of life are nothing more than drinking red blood wine, drunk on the knees of beautiful people, people are also strange animals, under the anesthesia of alcohol, you can forget a lot of things, but also inspire many things, such as inspiration.

Fan Ming suddenly thought of the situation when he made his own wine in the countryside in the past, when the pot was just opened, the concentration of alcohol could light a fire, and he couldn't make a professional distillation equipment, so it was still okay to make some simple steamers, "Xiangxue, how much does it cost to build a big steamer at home, or a retort or a retort?" ”

"It's about a few hundred yuan!" The waves in Xiangxue's eyes became heavier and heavier at this time, and her cheeks were pink to the base of her ears.

Looking at Fan Ming's eyes, there was also an unusual taste, which was particularly attractive, Fan Ming knew that this wine could not be drunk anymore, and if he drank it again, he was afraid that there would be a mess.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Girl, I'll go outside and see if I can make this wine-making utensil." ”

Xiangxue nodded, "Well, go early and come back early, waiting for you to have dinner." ”

Fan Ming went to the blacksmith shop in Dongjie Lane alone, and he remembered that he had seen some Jin Dynasty copper shochu pots and Tianchang copper stills in the museum, which seemed to belong to a series with the existing traditional wine steamers, and their origins were all retorts and retorts used for steaming rice in ancient times.

It was a steamer commonly used at that time. In the process of daily use, it is not difficult for the ancients to accumulate knowledge about liquid evaporation and condensation, as long as it is slightly modified, slotted and drained in the wall, it becomes the type of Tianchang distiller.

The blacksmith shop is at the head of the East Street, the sound of tinkling makes people hear it from afar, into an open-air canopy, whirring bellows, rolled up tongues of fire flying in the air, two shirtless sturdy men are swinging hammers constantly, there is already a layer of greasy sweat beads on their bodies.

As soon as Fan Ming stepped into the shop, he immediately felt a compelling heat, and the slightest hint of spring cold suddenly dissipated, "Dare to ask...... He is the treasurer. ”

"I'm ......" One of the middle-aged men dropped the small hammer in his hand, wiped his hands and walked over, "What's the matter with the guest officer?" ”

"I'm going to build two big retorts and big retorts, and there must be a long popular pipe at the top." Fan Ming described the structure of the still in his impression, and he drew some structural drawings on the ground with tree branches so that the blacksmith could see it more intuitively.
