Several winery masters quickly rode over, Xu Changqing told them his thoughts, and they were all extremely excited, racking their brains one by one to make suggestions.

The history of Chinese winemaking can be described as a long history.

I don't know when people began to experiment with various kinds of sake brewing.

For example, the mulberry wine that the people in the Jiangnan area like very much, is taken from many mulberries produced on mulberry trees to ferment and process, sweet and sour, very delicious, suitable for all ages.

Another example is all kinds of fruit wine, which is simply dazzling, and everything that can be thought of and what cannot be thought of can be used to make wine.

There were many times of food shortage in Chinese history, and in that situation, the imperial court and the government generally implemented a strict prohibition policy to ensure the supply of food, and all kinds of fruit wine were the best substitute at that time.

These winery masters are all good hands that Li Youwei and her sisters have dug from all over the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of experience is extremely rich.

As they explained to Xu Changqing in detail, Xu Changqing also began to realize some problems with this idea.

There is still a big gap between the grade of fruit wine and grain wine.

To explain it in the most straightforward and brutal words, it is "fruit wine can fade out of the bird, it is a wine that girls can't look down on......"

This is something that cannot be solved by current technology.

Several brewery masters are not worried about not being able to make wine with sweet potatoes, but they are worried that the grade of the wine is not enough......

If the grade is not enough, then the market value will be greatly reduced......

Xu Changqing thought about it carefully for a long time, and also remembered that in later generations, there were many good wines that were circulated in China, but there was really no sweet potato wine.

For example, Lao Baigan is sorghum wine.

Erguotou, multigrain wine, any sorghum, wheat, and corn can be used.

And high-end liquors such as Moutai and Wuliangye are more appropriately grain wines.

is Lao Maozi's favorite vodka, which is potato wine.

'Supposedly, the composition of sweet potatoes and potatoes is actually not too much different, potatoes can make high-quality vodka, but sweet potatoes can't? ’

Xu Changqing rubbed Yin Tang vigorously, and he was a little messy for a while, he obviously caught something, but he was bombarded by several masters, but he forgot a little.

Li Yan saw Xu Changqing's tiredness, and said with a smile: "Lord, even if sweet potatoes can't make high-quality good wine, they can only make ordinary wine, according to the strength of our major wineries in Haicheng, it should be no problem to seize the market." In this way, it can also increase the enthusiasm of the people to plant sweet potatoes......"

Hearing that Li Yan had almost sunk to the bottom line, Xu Changqing suddenly became clever, and finally remembered, and couldn't help laughing: "Strategist, it's a shame that you woke up, otherwise, I would have forgotten." ”

It's not that there is no good sweet potato wine, but there is no such thing as it in China!

But in later generations, Japan, South Korea, and especially Japan, there were several louder brands.

For example-

Japan's Black Kirishima shochu tastes very good.

The reason why Xu Changqing remembered this brand was because when he was in high school, a primary school classmate pretended to be forced with him, and he didn't know where to get a bottle of Black Kirishim, which was blowing all over the sky, and the Internet was not so developed at that time.

After that, Xu Changqing remembered this brand.

Later, I learned that Black Kirishima is just a civilian brand in the island country, and there are many more high-end ones.

Now that I think about it, it should be the ratio of koji, including some details such as the quality of the water used.

At this time, one thing can already be confirmed, sweet potatoes can definitely make good wine.

Taking a step back, even if the grade of sweet potato wine is still not as good as grain wine, Xu Changqing is confident that it will be fried to the scale of grain wine.

Xu Changqing immediately didn't talk nonsense with a few masters, and said directly: "Whoever can develop a qualified sweet potato wine will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver!" ”

A few masters are in the sea

Although the city is also a high-paid class and a gold-collar, the annual salary is only about one hundred and sixty or seventy taels, Xu Changqing actually offered a bounty of their twenty-year annual salary at once, how could they not be excited? One by one, his chest slapped, and he assured Xu Changqing that within a month, there would be a reply.

After sending away a few masters, Li Yan also threw himself to the ground with Xu Changqing's admiration, and said with a wry smile: "Lord, if you come back earlier, I'm afraid this sweet potato wine would have already been on track." ”

Xu Changqing smiled and refilled some tea for Li Yan: "Strategist, don't be presumptuous, I know your ability." This is actually not a bad thing, a good meal is not afraid of being late. ”

Li Yan felt Xu Changqing's concern, and his spirit improved a lot: "Lord, my subordinates will personally watch this matter, and strive to settle the ground as soon as possible and bear fruit." ”

After sending Li Yan away, Xu Changqing's mood was also a lot happier.

Although there are many difficulties and obstacles ahead, as long as you really do it down-to-earth, you will definitely have results!

After getting the sweet potato, Xu Changqing also shifted his attention to the potato.

In contrast, potatoes are closer to people than sweet potatoes.

Moreover, it is not regional, but almost universal.

In later generations, the cheapest and most affordable dish in various hotels and restaurants in China was the 'hot and sour shredded potatoes'. ’

And on the Western side, naturally, it is french fries, mashed potatoes and the like.

Even many Westerners use potatoes as their staple food.

It is no exaggeration to say that human beings have been able to develop and survive, and the potatoes that are 'durable and easy to feed' are absolutely indispensable.

It's just that Xu Changqing doesn't know whether the potatoes have been passed on to Daming or not.

I have sent someone to look for it before, but there has been no result.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Changqing made a direct decision, even if he sent people to cross most of the world and dig in the Andes, he would bring potatoes to Daming.

Subsequently, Xu Changqing directly recruited Xu Zhong, the big leader of the intelligence department, to come over and gave a death order, he must find this thing called 'potato' in the shortest possible time.

……

Going home is indeed relaxing, but there are many complicated government affairs, especially ...... Many good fields and beautiful houses in the back house need his hard work, and Xu Changqing suddenly found ......

This thing is fucking more tiring than fighting......

Xu Changqing is almost like a superman wearing underwear, and he can't wait to split a second into halves, and then split himself into halves, it took nearly ten days to finally straighten out all the affairs.

But Xu Changqing can clearly feel that he has lost at least seven or eight pounds these days......

However...

The road was chosen by himself, even if he was kneeling and in tears, Xu Changqing had to finish it by himself......

……

In the blink of an eye, it has come to the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and the New Year's flavor of Haicheng is getting stronger and stronger, and merchants have begun to carry out various year-end promotions in order to stimulate consumption, which has brought the already lively Haicheng to a new height.

It was Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, and Zhu Yujiao who couldn't stay idle at home, and they took the maid to go shopping early in the morning.

Xu Changqing is no longer able to vomit about this, and a creature like a woman, I'm afraid that the best scientist can't predict its precise trajectory......

Fortunately, Xu Changqing has worked hard in the past few days, and the public food has been handed over, so he can finally take a breath.

Xu Changqing was also busy and came to Kong Xi's mother and daughter in the southeast area of Haicheng.

The house where Kong Xi's mother and daughter live at this time is also a 'small two-in' similar to Nanjing, but no matter the architectural style or decoration level, it is not comparable to the small house in Nanjing.

This is a huge community covering an area of several hundred acres, and not only many officers of the model army live here, but also many wealthy businessmen who buy houses here.

The pavement has been hardened, but many of them are not cement, but more delicate stones and bluestones.

Even, Kong Xi's house was stained with the light of a big businessman next to him

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Behind the backyard, there is also a small man-made lake, leaving them with a small garden of seventy or eighty square meters.

It's not as elaborate as the real garden, but it's definitely a 'little paradise'.

"Ah, Xu Lang, you, what have you been busy with all these days, why, how have you lost so much weight......"

Kong Xi was stunned when she saw Xu Changqing, she still had some complaints about Xu Changqing, after all, after the accident that day, Xu Changqing has not accompanied their mother and son anymore, even if they are settled properly, but this feeling of not having a backbone still makes Kong Xi very unsure.

But at this time.

As soon as he saw Xu Changqing's thin appearance, Kong Xi's little resentment suddenly disappeared.

Their mother and daughter can live in such a quiet small house at this time, and they don't have to worry about their livelihood, so you can imagine how much Xu Changqing has paid......

"Ahem......"

Xu Changqing coughed a few times and said with a smile: "Sister Xi, this is not the last time there was an accident in Nanjing, and there are many follow-ups, and now it is considered a neat and tidy solution." However, I may still have to be on duty during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you......"

"This ......"

Kong Xixiao was aggrieved at the same time, but he couldn't stop feeling distressed, "Xu Lang, we, we don't lack silver now, you, why are you working so hard." Have you eaten, I'll cook for you. ”

Seeing that Kong Xi was busy preparing wine and food, Xu Changqing couldn't stop smiling bitterly for a while.

Isn't this a bit of a shooting yourself in the foot......

If she confessed to Kong Xi earlier and was directly raised in the back house, the rules of the back house would teach her to be a person, so why should she be so tired now?

But looking at Kong Xi's busy shadow, Yue'er was writing beside her obediently, and Xu Changqing felt that it was still more flavorful......

I have to say that human beings are really complex creatures......

After a beautiful meal at Kong Xi's house, drank some wine, and accompanied their mother and daughter until the evening, Xu Changqing also recovered a lot of blood, and his spirit recovered a lot.

Pity...... He is still a little tired now, there is really no bullet in the gun, so he can only let go of Kong Xi, a lovely little white sheep, and will not stay here for the night.

When he returned to the official hall, he was about to have dinner with his family, go to Gu Hengbo's side to get a good night's sleep, and continue to regain his blood, Dong Gu and Kong Sizhen suddenly took the initiative to come to the door.

This made Xu Changqing a clever one.

In the past few days, they have been busy in the dark, and they really don't have time to take care of them, but they are all living in the new official hall at this time, and their every move is still under Xu Changqing's control.

It seems that at noon, a personal soldier came to report that there was an envoy from the Great Qing Kingdom who went to visit the two girls.

"Invite them in."

"Yes."

Xu Changqing thought about it, and still met them in the inner study.

"Slave Dongguo, slave Kong Sizhen, I have seen Master Hou......"

The two girls have obviously been carefully dressed, that is, Dongguo has put on light makeup, although they are still slightly immature, but they have already revealed a bit of feminine taste.

"Hehe, two Gege, Changqing has been busy with official business these days, neglecting two Gege, and inviting two Gege Haihan."

Xu Changqing smiled and beckoned them to sit down, and made tea for them with his own hands.

The two girls were also very interested in Xu Changqing's extremely private inner study.

Dong Gu didn't dare to lose his mind, for fear that he would be better off if he lost his manners, but Kong Sizhen's big black eyes were rolling around, looking at everything around him curiously.

After a few pleasantries, they drank some tea, ate some exquisite desserts, and retreated slightly, Dong Gu also said her intention, and Xu Changqing said deeply: "Master Hou, Ama, Ama sent someone to ask Dong Gu to come over and give you an early year in advance." Amma also prepared some gifts for you......"

As she spoke, she respectfully handed over the gift list to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing didn't care much about it, but after looking at the gift list, in an instant, the whole person was a little bad, and his face turned a little green!
