If we talk about cotton and cloth, Chi Qiu once thought about the "industrial revolution". But in fact, because of the geographical location, he basically gave up, of course, he gave up the "industrial revolution" such a big singularity, not to give up the selection of cotton peaches, but also the development of cloth, for the benefit of one side and to change the world There is not much conflict.

For wine, Chi Qiu does have something to say, over the years, he has been in the Western Regions, and he has been more serious with this wine. The origin of wine is almost universally recognized as the Kingdom of Persia, one of the origins of ancient civilizations.

According to legend, there was a Persian king in ancient times, who loved to eat grapes, perhaps Persia was not rich in grapes, and this king used to keep the grapes tightly in a large clay pot, marked "poisonous" to prevent people from stealing them.

One of the king's concubines was tired of life, and drank a drink made from grapes in a clay pot marked "poisonous", which tasted very good, and instead of ending her own life, the intoxication made the concubine rediscover the joy of life.

Since then, the king has issued an order to collect ripe grapes, which are pressed and fermented in containers in order to obtain wine.

In the past, the world of liquor was divided into two series: Eastern liquor and Western fruit wine, of course, barley whiskey, malt and barley malt beer, grain or potato vodka, cane sugar rum, etc., but the grain as the raw material of liquor and the wine as the raw material of fruit wine have achieved the foundation of the two major wine cultures of the East and the West.

In the previous life, Chi Qiu was drinking wine, enjoyable, and there was no specific research, if he was asked to point out the winery, he could also make the liquor of the previous life, but in the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang and the long-term garrison in Turpan, Chi Qiu and wine were in a fight, after all, there were no grains in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains for him to spend.

In Turpan it is very different, pick the grapes casually, wipe the hoarfrost on the surface with your hands, you can eat, it is completely original, where is the Chi Qiu in addition to ordering people to study the qanats, another achievement he feels proud of is to improve the vineyard, so that raisins have become a major local specialty, through the Silk Road, sold to all over the world.

Regarding wine, there is also brandy and even whiskey in the Western Regions.

Chi Qiu's Xiting tribe, after he was born, gradually swallowed and Mo, Xiaowan, Loulan and other places in the Western Regions of Southern Xinjiang, there are too many illiterates, and there are many races in the Western Regions, after Kunpengming, the race in the Western Regions has almost changed, and the Western Regions understood by Chi Qiu is completely different, many cultural classics are not understood, and those who understand are not necessarily Chinese or Xiting Tribal language, the gradually powerful Shating tribe has to switch to the popular language of the Western Regions, as for this language, Chi Qiu is not a linguist, let's think it is Persian. Of course, after Chi Qiu seized the house, he suddenly became completely proficient in Chinese, and he intended to support the Han people who were living in the Western Regions, and the Huaxia language was also relatively open to the upper echelons of Xiting, after all, there were more than ten or two hundred thousand Han people in the carving and Qiu Department, and doing business and entering the main Guanzhong, the former Shating tribe also began to make a great change to the Xiting Empire.

I don't have much to say about the language, but there is no Chi Qiu in the Western Regions

Fa knows the outside world through cultural ancient books, and naturally will also find a way, from the local people's oral rumors, know that these races are also because of the global disaster of heavenly punishment, they have to move around, either by more Westerners, or they heard that the mountains and rivers are rich and beautiful, and they come to grab food, in short, that big disaster should appear somewhere in the west, in order to understand what is going on in the past and reality of the Wuyue Continent, Chi Qiu asked Shating's caravan to bring back strange things from the local area every time they travel, And bring back some rumors.

After all, it is a transportation hub in Eurasia, and although a caravan often goes back and forth for several years, or even never returns, Chi Qiu still got some information.

In the far west, there was a great flood, Chi Qiu estimated that the meteorite fell in the Atlantic, which caused a tsunami, coupled with the widespread acid rain around the world, the Germanic people who had just defeated the Western Romans and occupied Western Europe thought that Western Europe was a cursed land, and began to move eastward, and began to return to the place of their ancestors, history seems to have been reversed, the Germanic people drove out the Slavs, the Slavs drove the Eastern Romans, and the Eastern Romans easily defeated the Arabs who suffered heavy casualties because of the acid rain, after all, the Arabs were originally sparsely populatedThen the Persians, who migrated east in waves, fleeing the cursed land of the West.

These histories can be said to be different opinions, not to mention, after all, thousands of years have passed since that disaster, and what the current Wuyue Continent is like, Chi Qiu does not know, but some of the wine brought back by the caravan made Chi Qiu secretly surprised, and also made Chi Qiu make up a lot of his own brain.

First of all, brandy, the name made Chi Qiu as excited as he was to hear Rafa, but in fact it tasted very different from the wine he drank in his previous life, and asked the caravan people, this is the wine produced in the Persian plateau, because it was once the place where the brandies lived, so it was called brandy. It is said that the ancestors of the Xiting tribe also fought against them, but they were defeated and had to leave the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to graze cattle on the edge of southern Xinjiang. After entering Guanzhong, Chi Qiu had checked the classics and carefully studied the ins and outs of the Bailan people, Chi Qiu thought that the Bailan people were probably the first batch of Persians to leave the Persian plateau, because of their white skin and blue eyes, they were called Bailan people, and they still believed in Nestorianism or Zoroastrianism, and the Persians who should be expelled before and after the establishment of the Abbasid dynasty. But why are they women kings, it stands to reason that they are already a mature patriarchal society in Persia, but since the Bailan Kingdom was established, there are also some classics that record their origins, it seems that they met a "witch" on the way to survive, of course, Chi Qiu will think of the Zoroastrian "holy woman" system, anyway, the Xiqin Principality derived from the Bailan Kingdom and the Xihe Principality that Chi Qiu only learned about not long ago are one east and one west, which shows that the survival of this ethnic group is really tenacious, and it has crossed the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Hengduan Mountains, From the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the mouth of the Yangtze River, the two key principalities seem to have been fully integrated into the princely system of Huaxia, which makes Chi Qiu particularly interested in this Bailan clan. If you have the opportunity, you must be good

Let's do some research.

The second is whiskey, this kind of wine makes Chi Qiu think about it, the taste is similar to what he drank in his previous life, and its place of origin is the Wulan Empire, and the geographical location is probably near Ukraine, as for other information, the caravan has not been there, they just got this wine from the tribe of the Guka people, saying that it was produced by the Wulan people in their west. As for whether Wulan is an empire or an ethnic group, the caravan is also indisagreeable.

But Chi Qiu prefers it to be an empire, first, the name is very revealing, there are people like Chi Qiu, Jia Dongpo, and Zhao Qi in the West, and there may be a lot of them, whether they are white-skinned and yellow-hearted, or white-skinned and white-hearted, they will always be the same as Chi Qiu, not necessarily "conquer the world", but can always "benefit one party". Once there is such a person, it will make the historical trajectory move forward step by step, and as for the big stride or small stride, it depends on the creation. Second, Wulan was able to have enough barley and wheat to make wine and export, which means that the European granary has been restored, and can organize caravans to develop the eastern trade routes, and it can also show that whisky has been mass-produced.

Brandy and whiskey have appeared in this world, and now Rafa has come out again, Chi Qiu felt funny in his heart, did everyone tell the existence of "companions" in this way?

Chi Qiu picked up the Rafa red wine, the bottle is almost the same as the previous life, but the bottle mouth is very Chinese, not the aluminum alloy lid but, the wooden cover, between the delicate wooden sleeve and the glass bottle is a thin layer of wax sealed, Chi Qiu looked at the label again, it is written with kites, and the logo is also quite like a Western-style manor, Chi Qiu looks quite kind, and then looks closely, the year is marked on it, the year is marked in the Wuyue calendar 1777, and the alcohol content is also written in the composition column, The only difference is that there is no imprint of English and French, but there is a fluid sojin body.

Without hesitation, Chi Qiu lifted the nail cover and opened a bottle.

"Hey, little brother, you ......"

"Don't worry, I want this bottle."

"This bottle...... This bottle costs more than ten taels. ”

Chi Qiu's face suddenly became very ugly, and he scolded in his heart: Damn, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, after reading so many cool articles, it has always been Rafei who stepped on the box and drank, and killed those dead people, how did he come to me and become a big wrongdoer?

Wine is expensive or not, Chi Qiu is still clear, compared to red wine, Hennessy or whiskey, both in the brewing process and the number of raw materials required are far more than red wine, the degree is placed there, although the vintage of the grape, the production process and the cellaring time control, the taste and quality of various grapes are very different, but obviously Chi Qiu's marketing is not as good as Rafa Estate, Chi Qiu's Hennessy only sells two or two bottles.

"You said this wine is more than ten taels?" Ji Qiu asked in a deep voice.

Several old neighbors of Wu Laohan naturally knew that Wu Laohan's son had bought a lot of wine, saying that it was the most popular wine in Hejian now, and it was hard to find, and they also knew it

The red wine in the middle of the Rafa Manor is surprisingly expensive, they naturally don't have the financial resources to taste it, and now seeing that this young man has moved a bottle like this, it is still the most expensive bottle, and it is inevitable that they will cry out for him in their hearts. But Wu Laohan is a real person, he can't be short catty, and he won't be like some kind of ramen that only has one cow a year, and the amount of mutton noodles is also sufficient.

What is this called, in the final analysis, young people don't understand the rules, and if they don't ask the price, they will break people's mouths, and this matter can't be blamed by Wu Laohan.

The diners at the other two tables couldn't help but exclaim, they couldn't imagine that a bottle of wine was so expensive, in their minds, a bottle of the Du family's fine wine was only five silver coins, and this bottle of Rafa or something actually cost more than ten taels, wouldn't that cost more than a hundred silver coins? It is more than enough for their family to spend a year.

Wu Laohan was also anxious, even if he didn't want this young man in front of him to be the wrongdoer, but this was also the goods that their family bought with real money, shouldn't he be himself? He said in a trembling tone: "I...... My son said it was a treasure from 1777, and there weren't many wines from that vintage, so he managed to get a few bottles, hey...... We've never sold it, old woman...... Old woman ......"

Mrs. Wu heard the sound and came out of the kitchen: "Okay, the mutton stewed noodles are ready, you come over and help serve the noodles, what's the use of shouting." ”

Wu Laohan wanted to go over, but he was afraid that Chi Qiu would know the price, so he turned around and ran away, compared to the mutton stewed noodles, the value of this bottle of wine is more important. He shifted his steps, wanting to help, but he didn't dare to go. "You go and call Yu'er first, and say that someone wants to buy that wine."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she pouted and said, "What, ah, I know, I know." "This wine is their heart disease, a small store, expansion, decoration is only a few dozen taels, but this wine also cost dozens of taels before and after, and it is a decoration in the store, which is really troublesome.

Putting two bowls of braised noodles on the table, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but wonder a little, as if time stood still, the old neighbors and diners were worried, the sound of needles falling in the room, Wu Laohan and Chi Qiu didn't move, and there was a stalemate at the counter.

Mrs. Wu glanced at it, a little unclear, what the hell is going on, seeing Chi Qiu slightly stunned, thinking about it, this person looks a little familiar, as if he has seen it: "Guest officer, the noodles are ready, eat them while they are hot, and they will be lumped after a long time." ”

"Okay." Chi Qiu adjusted his mood, knowing what Wu Laohan was worried about, and after thinking about it, he finally spoke: "Give it to me, this Rafa with stewed noodles is very good." It's like eating barbecue with Lafite at a food stall, it's intoxicating and refreshing.

In fact, Chi Qiu's heart is still very painful, after all, a dozen taels is not a decimal, even if he was the fifth prince before, he may not be "financially free", as a traverser, that compared to others, he is definitely well-informed, and his pursuit of material things is much lighter, you can imagine, who in this ancient emperor has that air conditioner that is warm in winter and cool in summer? Who can want to eat bananas and eat bananas, want to eat watermelon and eat watermelon, compared with cherries, dragon fruit, and even durian, what is the lychee that "rides on the red dust and the concubine laughs".

？ Some things have been eaten, tasted, and enjoyed, as long as it is not a psychological problem, in ancient times, people's ideological realm will always go up one or two grades. After all, most of the traversers are modern people who have experienced the "spring breeze of reform" and enjoyed the "global trade", and there may be many unsatisfactory people, but when they see people all over the world who don't know what "wishful" is, they will still have the feeling of looking down on all sentient beings, and they also know what to do and not to do.

When there is no need for food and clothing, such as the period of the Five Princes, Chi Qiu will think about making a "quilt" and wearing a pair of "autumn pants", but he will never be depressed because he can't drink Sprite in the desert, because his heart is wide, so he is very calm on the spiritual level.

Chi Qiu has his own set of principles in doing things, if there is a disaster year, it is no problem to eat old sheep, eat the best parts of meat, have enough spices, and thin slices of mutton, it is enough for him. They will never rob the lambs of the poor. To put it simply, it won't be particularly pretentious.

Therefore, the income and expenditure accounts of the carving tribe are basically used in the development and construction of Yanzhou, and they will not care too much about the pursuit of palaces and food, good food and fullness, occasionally folk visits, and there is no problem with eating some stalls, Chi Qiu's reputation and prestige in the tribe are extremely high, and it also causes him to go out for a walk, and he can eat all over Yanzhou without money, after all, the people are still simple and know who is good to him.

But he is not a person who does not distinguish between grains and does not know how expensive eggs are, and he must have been slaughtered as a "water fish" if he really had a dozen taels of red wine. As for whether the person who killed him was Wu Laohan, or Wu Laohan's son and daughter-in-law, or the marketing strategy set by his "companion", it didn't matter.

Chi Qiu is now like a quick taste of "crossing over", it is an extremely wonderful feeling, there are no wonders in the world, but at that moment, "as soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world." "A fantasy feeling.

"Is that you?" Mrs. Wu seemed to recognize Chi Qiu, and said eagerly: "Old man, what are you doing, how do you sell this wine to others?" ”

"I ......"

Old man Wu was hesitant, and Mrs. Wu suddenly became suspicious: "What, do you have to ask people to buy this Laoshzi wine?" I can tell you, don't think that if people know the little county lord, they must be rich, so if they buy and sell strongly, even if it is a bottle of the best wine of the Du family, it is only one or two silver. ”

When a few bystanders heard that this person knew the little county lord, they suddenly looked at him, and even the big man who came in just now was eating noodles, and he couldn't help but look up and take a second look.

"No, no." Old man Wu put down the wine in his hand, waved his hand again and again, and then took a closer look, only to remember that this was the descendant who ate noodles with Yan Su'er last time, so he said: "How can I do that kind of thing of forced buying and selling, you go to You'er, what is the price of this wine, I really forgot." ”

Hearing what her wife said, Mrs. Wu frowned: "Little brother, do you really want to buy this wine?" Not afraid to spend money in vain? ”

Chi Qiu smiled faintly, the old couple was really kind, and a warm current gushed out, but the old man Wu glanced at his wife and said, "If you don't buy it, you can't do it, you see!" As he spoke, he handed the bottle to Mrs. Wu: "This has been scratched by him, if he doesn't buy it, what should he do."

？ When the time comes, the daughter-in-law will speak again. ”

When Mrs. Wu saw it, she was also anxious: "What? Scratched? She hurriedly picked up the bottle and put it in her hand, muttering vigorously at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know what to say.

The weather was still a little cold, Chi Qiu smiled lightly, a little stiff, Mrs. Wu thought it was a wry smile, and said eagerly: "I'll go, I'll go, young man, don't panic, I'll let my You'er take a look and sell it to you cheaply." After speaking, he took off his apron and threw it at Wu Laohan, turned around and left.

"Hey, don't worry, aunt!" Chi Qiu didn't know what to call it, and "aunt" came out casually, which was a little abrupt.

Mrs. Wu pushed the door out, and the people around her didn't decide to be abnormal, everyone whispered, I don't know if the gossip Chi Qiu recognized the little county lord, or if this descendant would lose more than a dozen taels of silver all of a sudden, after all, in the river, this is enough for the family's expenses for a year.
