Chapter 4: The House and the Wine

After experiencing setbacks and injuries, people always wish for a quiet corner where they can be left alone to sort out their wounds and recover to face the next storm.

After encountering something they like, people always want to have a place where they can put their favorite things in it, often take it out and play with it, and use this to clarify that this thing belongs only to them.

It's like the beasts in the mountains and forests have their own territory, and if other beasts accidentally cross the line, they will be attacked.

Human beings will also divide their own territory, and the territory of a very small number of people is a country, they are the kings of the country, and the whole country belongs to his family, so if someone wants to rob his country, he will let that person's whole family die.

Most people's territory is their home, to put it bluntly, the houses and land they occupy.

Having a home always starts with another house, and the feeling of being isolated by the whole world is very painful, so Cao Wei wants to have his own house, which is the beginning of the corruption and degeneration of feudal society, and it is also the first step to having a family, so he borrowed five hundred taels of silver from a certain wronged boss.

Facts have proved that Pan Fu's personality is still very strong, and he sent someone to bring silver that night.

The silver commission is really a good thing, after paying the money, the work efficiency of the room is very high, and it really realizes the check-in with the bag, and the full range of services is available.

The previous owner of the house is also a Xiucai, who indulged in Hualiuqinglou after repeated failures, and lost the inheritance of his ancestors, and now even the last ancestral house has to be sold.

This incident tells us that it is not necessarily a bad thing for his wife to be violent and fierce, just like Pan Fu doesn't have the courage to go to Qinglou to spend money now.

As a high-consumption place, Qinglou has good service, just like today's brand-name clothing store, every time you enter, it is as if the body is hollowed out, the only difference is that there is no charge for the clothing store to try on clothes, and you don't give money to try the girl in the Qinglou......

Anything of value in the house has been pawned by the previous owner, and now looking at the empty house, it is as clean as being licked by a hungry dog.

So Cao Wei spent another thirty taels to buy a bunch of high-imitation mahogany furniture and high-imitation Xiangheji pots and pans, according to the boss, their store has been imitating, and finally there is surpassing, fortunately I didn't give up......

In order to be elegant, Cao Wei also bought a lot of fake and shoddy celebrity calligraphy and paintings, one hundred wen, in view of the large batch of transactions, the boss asked the guy to deliver the goods to the door and guide the layout.

According to the guy, the painting hung by Cao Wei in the toilet was the work of King Luo Bin of the Tang Dynasty, which was elegant, fresh and refined, and strongly accused Cao Wei of burning the piano and cooking cranes, which was insulting.

What do you guys talk about? It's not vulgar, Cao Wei doesn't know, anyway, this painting is very useful when he forgets to bring paper to the toilet.

Seeing the cold mansion, Cao Wei gritted his teeth and bought more than a dozen servants in the tooth shop, which finally made the house popular, the people are real people, not high imitations...

In the evening, Pan Fulai congratulated Cao Wei on his housewarming, only carrying a jar of wine.

Guests who don't bring gifts are not welcome, Cao Wei saw that no one behind Pan Fu carried gifts, so disappointed, didn't the ancients be very polite, and the gifts were all pulled by carriages? The baby is deceived, the baby is unhappy...

Pan Fu did not hesitate to praise the wine he mentioned, which was said to be a good wine brewed in his winery, and the idlers could not drink a sip.

Cao Wei couldn't see the appearance of Pan Fatzi's villain, and bluntly said that the wine he brewed was the best wine in the world, with a mellow aroma and a crystal color.

Pan Fu naturally does not believe it, each winery has its own unique winemaking secrets, which are generally passed down from family to family, and outsiders are not allowed to touch them. I still spent a lot of money to invite the winemaker from other places, and I still have to offer it as an ancestor.

Cao Wei saw that Pan Fu didn't believe it, and he didn't say much, so he raised his glass and invited wine.

If you want to talk about a topic, what do you do first? Naturally, it is necessary to say something related to this topic first, and then calm it down, which is more acceptable.

This is the truth that Cao Wei realized in his previous life and often puts it into practice.

"Brother Pan, do you think the wine jar on this table looks like a gold ingot?"

Pan Fu stared at it for a while, blinked his small eyes, and said, "It's indeed like the five hundred taels of silver you borrowed from me." ”

"Brother Pan, don't make trouble, I have been unable to sleep recently because of the five hundred taels of silver I borrowed from you." Cao Wei covered his head after speaking, looking extremely painful.

The baby's heart is bitter, and the baby has already spoken it.

Pan Fu asked with a look of hope: "Could it be that Brother Feixian has been thinking about repaying the money?" ”

"Not really, do you know about OCD? I'm ashamed to say that I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I am very sick, and I must borrow whole numbers to borrow silver, otherwise it will be very painful to get sick, so I plan to borrow another five hundred taels with my brother to make up one thousand taels. ”

“……”

Pan Fu didn't know what obsessive-compulsive disorder was, but he heard that Cao Wei wanted to borrow money, and the reason for borrowing money was very novel, which made people wonder if he had made a fake friend.

Drinking with Cao Wei hurts money, and the routines are as deep as the four seas, which catches people off guard.

In order to make a living, Cao Wei once again put down his face, his stomach is more important than his face, is the old man who has no meat to eat still called the old man? It just so happened that Pan Fu was dangling in front of him, as if to say, come and pit me! So Cao Wei couldn't hold back and attacked Pan Fu again.

When Pan Fu left, he still left Cao Wei five hundred taels of silver, after all, the two of them can't be shameless when dating, otherwise they will no longer be able to play happily together.

After Pan Fu left, Cao Wei began to think about how to make wine, which is not only related to whether he can drink good wine in the future, but also related to his livelihood in the future.

After all, you can't keep picking up the wool from a sheep......

Cooking grain is the first procedure of winemaking, the grain is mixed with koji, after cooking, it is more conducive to fermentation, in the traditional process, after the half-cooked grain is out of the pot, it should be spread on the ground, which is the second procedure of winemaking, that is, the process of stirring, batching, stacking and early fermentation, and it can be sold after post-fermentation in the winery.

However, this brewing process is incomplete, the alcohol concentration is still very low, and it needs to be further distilled and condensed to obtain a higher alcohol concentration of liquor.

Does Cao Wei make wine? Naturally, he not, but he purifies the wine, distills it, and cools it to get a high concentration of wine. The wine of this era has impurities, the wine is tinged with green, which greatly affects the taste, and the alcohol is not high, so it does not taste good.

So in this era, it is an exaggeration to not get drunk with a thousand cups, but you can indeed drink a lot of wine, in modern times, you drink two bottles of Erguotou to try, two or three bottles are not scared, and you can be regarded as a real man.

Cao Wei drew a diagram of the simple distillation device in the study, and after the blacksmith shop was built, he went to the restaurant to buy two jars of wine, and then went into the study after returning home.

An hour later, on the table in front of Cao Wei were a small half jar of distilled wine and a small bottle of alcohol.

From now on, I really have the foundation to live in this world.
