Chapter 49 The wine residue of the palace steamed wine The prince of the capital is a demon again

Yang Er didn't explain, he knew that if he wanted to explain, it would be a long time, and besides, he was a liberal arts student, and he already knew half about the principles of chemistry, the key was to ask Lu Zhaolin to witness it with his own eyes and witness the entire process of distilling soju. To put it bluntly, the matter of the Huichun Hall stock certificate, as long as the stock certificate is sold, there is basically nothing to do, and this wine making needs to be personally managed by Lu Zhaolin, including future sales, etc., with such talents, there is no need to wait for a while at this time?

Soon, the fire in the stove was ignited, and Yang Er kept the medium heat for firing, and the process took about half an hour. As the temperature of the sake lees in the wooden basin gradually increases, the alcohol in the sake lees begins to volatilize into a mist when heated, and rises into a downward sloping cooling pipe about 3 meters long, with a large clay pot at the mouth of the pipe to receive the wine.

Lu Zhaolin watched stupidly from the side, except for knowing that there was sake lees in the wooden basin, he didn't know anything else. I watched Yang Er, who was the prince, keep adding firewood to the stove on the side, and looked at the exit of the pipe from time to time.

"Alright, it's time for the wine." Yang Er shouted loudly, waking Lu Zhaolin up from his confusion, what's wrong? What's going on?

I saw that this little prince took a small wine glass and followed something at the exit of the pipe.

"Mr. Lu, come and see." Yang Er looked at Lu Zhaolin, who was stunned, and said.

Lu Zhaolin hurriedly walked to Yang Er's side and bent down, just to see what was in the wine glass. I saw that there was half a glass of liquid like water in the white wine glass, and when he was about to ask, he saw the little prince pour the liquid in the cup into his mouth.

"Hmmm! Yes, about 45 degrees. Yang Er, who often drank alcohol in later generations, thought that the alcohol content was not very high according to the feeling on his tongue. But in this era, it is already considered a high-grade liquor, and it is okay to replace alcohol with this. Then he took another glass, and the speed of the wine dripping in the condensation pipe became faster and faster, and the wine gradually flowed into the crockpot in the form of a small stream of water. Yang Er handed Lu Zhaolin a new glass of wine and said, "Sir, you can taste the wine made by this king himself." ”

Lu Zhaolin took the wine glass, sniffed it with the tip of his nose, felt a strong aroma of wine, and poured it into his mouth. Suddenly, a mellow and spicy sensation came from top to bottom, and then it felt full of mellow aroma and lingered in the mouth. Is this wine? So what do I usually wait for?

"This, this, what kind of wine is this? The taste is so mellow and there is a warmth in the belly. It's really a wine that I have never seen in my life! Lu Zhaolin couldn't help but be shocked after tasting it, he had never drunk such wine before, and he couldn't believe it was true. Reaching out to take another glass, he turned to the side and slowly smacked the taste.

As we were about to fill a full tank, the wine that had been left out of the pipe gradually stopped. This means that the whole pot of sake lees has steamed out the wine, and now the sake lees residue is the real residue. Yang Er opened the door and said to Yang Xing, who was waiting outside: "Pour out all the tasteless wine residues in the basin, and then replace the fresh wine lees residues with them." Yang Xing hurriedly commanded the slaves to start moving.

Yang Er called Lu Zhaolin outside the door and said to Lu Zhaolin, who was still puzzled: "Mr. has just seen the operation of this king in the inner room, and the principle is very simple, that is, the wine in the sake lees in the basin is steamed out again by heating the sake lees residue through the furnace fire. The liquor obtained by this process is the liquor with high purity. The alcohol that Mr. drinks every day has not gone through this step, and the alcohol is not high in strength and cloudy in color, and it is not refreshing to drink, which is called the method of steaming wine by fire. ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhaolin nodded as if he had seen the sun: "The prince's steaming method is really a godsend, and the lower officials are impressed." ”

"This king wants to hand over this fire steaming wine method workshop to Mr. Yu to be in charge, and my personal servant Yang Xing is your deputy, and I am selecting 6 loyal servants, which will be dispatched by you. You can increase the equipment and manpower accordingly, and tell Yang Xing to do it. This king doesn't want much, and that kind of wine jar is enough to produce 50 jars of about 500 catties of high-purity wine every day. The name of this wine will be "Wuliangchun" in the future! ”

"Since the prince has taught the method of steaming immortal wine to the lower officials, the lower officials will supervise the production of immortal wine here according to the instructions of the prince, 50 jars a day." Lu Zhaolin was very moved at this time, he had not been in contact with this little prince for a long time, but the prince taught him the immortal method of making wine, which shows that the prince has more trust in him, how can he not repay him with his fate.

"Mr. Dacai is not to make wine in this winery, and it is enough to make wine with Yang Xing's generation, but when this five-grain spring wine is brewed more and the output is stable, Mr. should try to sell this fine wine. This pricing, sales channels, etc., all have to be bothered by the gentleman. This wine will be an important income for my Jin Palace, do you understand what this king means? Yang Er had to make the purpose of putting him in charge of this project clear again.

That Lu Zhaolin was a very smart and wise person, and he completely understood it when he heard it. The prince has handed over all the production and sales of Jin Wangfu Liquor to himself, and every drop of this Wuliang Spring New Liquor is a silver coin of white flowers! With the feeling of being a drinker, this will definitely cause a sensation in Chang'an and the entire Great Sui! Thinking of this, I felt that my eyes were full of gold and silver for a moment, and I was dazzled.

"Don't worry, the next official will first ensure 50 jars of craft brew every day. Subsequently, the amount of wine will be increased according to the situation to ensure that the white silver continues to flow into the Jin Palace. Lu Zhaolin was even more determined to follow the little prince of Jin at this time. Of course, the matter of the Huichun Hall stock certificate must also be carried out as soon as possible. The common denominator of these two is "make money, make a lot of money!" "What I have learned can finally be used, thinking of this, Lu Zhaolin is full of strength.

Next, in front of Lu Zhaolin and Yang Xing, the steaming method was demonstrated again. Yang Xing also praised this wine, and even admired his young master.

Before Yang Er left, he told the two of them: "Yang Xing, the servants you sent to Wufeng Tower to fetch the dregs of wine lees are not allowed to enter the door of the inner house wine shop, and the family is arranged to be on duty outside the door of the wine shop compound, so as not to leak out of the fire steaming wine method." The domestic servant who operates the shochu steaming must be a heartfelt person who tells everyone not to reveal the method of cooking. After the prepared five-grain spring jar must be sealed with mud, otherwise the whole jar of wine will become white water as soon as the wine gas is dispersed. The prepared wine is moved into the Fuzhong cellar for storage, and Mr. Lu is responsible for the management, when the wine cellar reaches 2,000 jars, it is sold to the outside world, understand? Yang Er said solemnly to the two.

"The master can rest assured that I will choose the loyal servants in the family, and I will never leak a trace of news, and the villain will guarantee it with his life." Yang Xing has been with Yang Er since he was a child, and he is very well-behaved and knows his master's thoughts.

"Mr. Lu, the wine lees that were sent today will first come out of 10 jars of Wuliang Spring, and after they are made, they will be loaded into a truck and sent to the Huichun Hall with this king to send them to the Sun Divine Doctor." Yang Er said with a smile.

"The lower officials obey the order, the prince I will supervise here, after the preparation is completed, I am going to report to the prince, the prince can go first if he has something, don't worry about me and Yang Xing here." Lu Zhaolin was in an extremely relaxed mood at this time, and promised Yang Er with a smile.

From then on, the operation of Jin Wangfu Liquor was completely handed over to Lu Zhaolin and Yang Xing, one person controlled and the other person managed and sold, and the division of labor clearly complemented each other.

Yang Er turned around and returned to the front hall, at this time Liu Wenjing and Yu Wenhua had been waiting here for a long time.

Yang Er saw that the two of them looked solemn, as if they had something to say. So he said, "Follow me to the study to talk." The two followed Yang Er into the study, and the maid hurriedly served tea to the three of them, and then left.

"What's wrong? Looking at the heavy faces of the two of you, could it be that someone in the family has passed away? In order to ease the atmosphere of the conversation, Yang Er first joked with the two.

"Your Highness, don't make fun of the two of us, it's really too important, and neither of us knows how to deal with it, so I came over and reported it directly to the prince. Let's let Mr. Yuwen talk about it! Liu Wenjing said busily.

Yu Wenhua hurriedly saluted Yang Ershi: "Your Highness, since the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department of my Jin Wangfu a month ago, externally, the eyeliner has been distributed to the capitals of the surrounding countries. The Turkic Shabalu Khan's guards also have our eyeliner, and a concubine of the queen of Nanchen was also bought by Hou Fang, a thousand households of the Nanchen State of our military intelligence department. However, there are no major incidents in either place so far. However, there have been rumors in Beijing in recent days, saying that the king of Tuyuhun wants to collude with the lord of Tubo, and wants to attack our Guanzhong region at the same time by two routes, rob the grain and property of Guanzhong, and force our Chang'an Jingshi to be strong. However, the hundred households sent to Tuyuhun did not issue an alarm about this, and I don't know if it is true or false, so I have come to report it to His Highness. ”

"Then there is no news from our side in the Tubo country?" Yang Er asked.

"The country of Tubo is located in the plateau and mountains, according to my Guanzhong Plain is still separated by Hanzhong, and the various departments of Tubo have not yet been integrated, it cannot form a substantial threat to our dynasty for a while, and it is difficult for me to find a fine work proficient in the Tubo language for a while, and it is also difficult for Tubo to govern the country with religion, and it is extremely difficult to buy people for my use, so the Tubo direction cannot get news from our department for the time being, please forgive your Highness!" After Liu Wenjing finished speaking, he immediately confessed to Yu Wenhua and surrendered his hand.

"The second duke doesn't have to be like this, the degree to which he can do it in a short period of time is beyond the imagination of this king. Even if this king deals with this matter, then Tubo must be the last consideration. It is not surprising that the Tuyuhun king Guan will unite the Turks and the Tibetans to attack our dynasty. The strange thing is that our side has never been informed of such a major military situation, but the people of Beijing are all rumors, and this matter is quite strange. Have you ever investigated the source of the rumors? Yang Er felt that the news was suspicious and couldn't help asking.

"The humble post has been checked, and the initial news was that a merchant from the Western Regions of the East Temple Goolan Yuan said that he was drinking and serving a prostitute, and this woman informed a good scholar about it the next day. So it gradually spread among the readers. By the time I found the prostitute, the merchant from the Western Regions had already left the country and was nowhere to be found. Yu Wenhua said helplessly.

After hearing this, Yang Er got up and paced back and forth, bowing his head and thinking.

"Whether this matter is true or not, it will inevitably reach the ears of the ministers, and tomorrow will be the day of the early court discussion, and there will inevitably be ministers who will report this matter. What should my father do about it then? Yang Er said to himself as he walked.

"Could it be a rumor from the Prince's Mansion? The princelings have been too quiet lately. The people who were installed in the prince's mansion in our office spread that the prince has been unusually well-behaved recently, and even the beautiful woman who was newly led in by the attendant refused to enter the door. The staff almost stopped coming to the door, very different from the situation a few months ago, as if they were deliberately avoiding something. Yu Wenhua reminded at this time.

Yang Er suddenly woke up, as if he saw a little exposed path in the fog. So he said to the two: "This matter is very likely a rumor from the Prince's Mansion, and they are going to take action." Some time ago, my Jin Wangfu was out of the limelight, and the momentum had already overshadowed Yang Yong of the Prince's Mansion, and it was strange that they didn't fight back and didn't act as demons. After listening to Yang Eryi's words, Liu Wenjing and Yu Wenhua both nodded yes, because only in this way is it reasonable.

"Humph! Then it depends on what kind of cards they will play when the court talks tomorrow, and we can only respond to all changes with the same, and see the moves. You two can go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Seeing Yang Er say this, the two could only bow down and leave after saluting.

"The prince is not terrible, you two will keep an eye on Yang Su, the king of Yue." Looking at the backs of the two, Yang Er reminded loudly. The two of them turned around at the same time and made a gesture, indicating that they understood.

Yang Er clearly knew at this time that the Jingshi, who had been calm for a while, was about to usher in the climax of a two-party struggle.
