Chapter 96 The Making of Distilled Spirits
In the blacksmith's workshop, a group of people were bare-chested and pulling bellows, sweating like rain, and hammering them with iron hammers, and the last iron lid had been made, and some pipes were attached to the two stoves, and I didn't know what this thing was going to be used for.
The princess instructed that when the building was completed, it should be sent directly to the brewery, and without delay, several blacksmiths carried the two stoves to the brewery.
In charge of the brewery is the red-nosed old man Du Ziteng, this guy is a drunkard, and he has to drink three jars of ale wine for a day, and he understands the distillation method explained to him by the princess, although it is very strange, it is also very novel, and it is the first time he has seen this strange stove.
Knocking on the stove sent by the blacksmiths, the fat man called a few young and strong brewers, and began to distill the liquor. The wine-making equipment was studied for a long time according to the instructions before it was thoroughly understood, and Du Ziteng also wanted to know what the feeling of burning his throat was like, and he would get drunk after drinking a bowl, then this wine was amazing.
Tianci Pavilion, Wu Yueya was surrounded by Xiaochun and Xiaomi, taking the size to measure the waist and bust, spring is coming, as the princess's maid, she naturally has to prepare new clothes for the princess.
"Princess, what color do you like?"
After Xiaochun measured the size, he helped the princess put on her clothes, looking at the princess's thin and soft body, she was a little embarrassed, her round face showed a slightly ashamed expression, carefully compared the size of the previous measurement, and found that there was almost no deviation, she was a little surprised, pinched her little finger and counted, she couldn't remember how many months, she had eaten all kinds of supplements for the princess, but she didn't grow at all, her arms were crossed on her soft and full chest, and her own seemed to have grown up again.
"Color, black!"
Without thinking, Wu Yueya replied, only black looked more comfortable.
"Princess, you can't wear black clothes, this kind of hue can only be worn by people of low status, just like me and Xiaochun, as the descendants of the princess's mansion, will choose this color!"
When Xiao Mi heard this, she immediately explained that she did not agree with the princess's choice of black or gray clothes, and her identity still came first.
"Yes, Wan'er thinks so too, but emerald green and red are quite suitable for princesses, Sister Xiaochun Xiaomi, your needlework skills are good, Wan'er can only learn from you in this matter!"
Li Wan'er helped pack up the clothes and interjected.
Seeing them looking at themselves, as if waiting for her to make an idea, they had to wave their hands, clothes and this thing, "I'll do it!" Emerald green and red are no problem! ”
After Xiaochun Xiaomi left, Wu Yueya began to check the account books of the restaurant, not counting the other restaurants that cooperated with the princess mansion, the profit was very large, the restaurants in the east and west cities had an income of almost three pieces of gold, and the sales of ale wine were also very successful, hunger marketing, with the help of bad people, there was no need to worry about this at all.
Wu Yueya leaned on the chair and closed her eyes and thought, Journey to the West Restaurant is developing towards the entire Tang territory, in addition to making profits, what is more important is the spread of news and new things.
And in the future, it may be able to deal with some unnecessary wars, restaurants are undoubtedly the best choice for information and intelligence sources, and they are also the roots of the princess's mansion!
So in terms of selecting people, we must also start to prepare, since we want to train talents to run restaurants, we can only choose from the group training of the princess's mansion, after all, this group of guys has been transformed by thought, and their loyalty is higher, and they can be competent in this regard.
"Little lady, the brothers and sisters of the Qin family are asking to see you in the lobby!"
Wan'er's voice interrupted Wu Yueya's thoughts and opened her eyes.
"I know, go over right away!"
Not long after, in the lobby, Qin Huairen and Qin Muyu saw the princess.
"Brother Qin! Mu Yu! Looking at the appearance of the two of you, are you ready to say goodbye? ”
Wu Yueya looked at the two of them dressed up with bags on their backs and asked.
"The princess has promoted Qin, and this time she left, in addition to taking Ah Mei to the Taoist Pavilion to become a Taoist aunt, she is indeed preparing to return to Xiangjun! After all, my father is waiting for a response from Xiangjun! After Mu Yu became a monk, I hope the princess will take care of her! ”
Qin Huairen gave up his hand, if it was before, there were still some people who despised others, but now the other party is a princess, so naturally the attitude is different, and in Chang'an, the only person who can be trusted is this princess who has suffered, regardless of his identity, he can be regarded as a friend.
"Brother Qin doesn't have to see outside, the Journey to the West Restaurant in Xiangjun depends on Brother Qin, and Mu Yu will put a hundred hearts when he stays in the princess's mansion!"
Wu Yueya made a package ticket, took out a stack of manuscripts, as well as some rules and regulations of the restaurant, discussed this matter a few years ago, some things Qin Huairen can't be the master, after the flying pigeon passed the book, the Qin Duke of Xiangjun also agreed.
It's just that there is no trusted candidate as a shopkeeper now, and the road in Xiangjun is just an experiment, and it shouldn't be a problem to hand it over to Qin Huairen.
After chatting for a while, I explained the things in the restaurant.
After a few days, Qin Huairen sent Ah Mei back to the princess's mansion, left Chang'an, and set foot on the way back to Xiangjun, he knew that when he returned to his father, he would inevitably bear the monstrous anger, and only the princess's mansion could make Ah Mei choose freely.
It was also in the past few days that the first batch of distilled liquor was made, but the red-nosed old man was stunned and drank two large bowls of liquor, poured into the wine tank and almost didn't wake up.
Fortunately, there were more people present, Wu Yueya heard the letter and hurriedly went to the wine shop to have a look, and saw the red-nosed old man lying on the wooden board and falling asleep, the smell of wine was flushing, and in desperation, he asked people to go to the nearby sugar mill to get goat's milk, and asked the little naughty Du Zhanhong to feed his grandfather, and at the same time let people go to the kitchen to cook a few bowls of sobering tea, this tea recipe was bought from the abbot of Wuxiang Temple, and the effect was really good.
Pour out a glass of liquor, take a sip gently, from the tongue to the throat, it is piping hot, the liquor is preliminarily made, this thing, the drunkards of the Tang Dynasty must like it, in addition to such a pure white wine, you can also use ginseng wolfberry to soak out the yellow soju, just a distiller has been made for so long, and it will take a long time to mass produce it!
Brought a bottle of wine to the kitchen, found Ye's, and she tried to stir-fry with liquor, especially meat, the taste of stir-fried with liquor is actually good, the dishes currently researched in the kitchen are in addition to the pig's trotters and sheep's trotters pressed out of the pressure cooker, the rest are some simple stir-fry, and stir-frying with liquor can be regarded as trying to make new fancy styles!
Luoyang, Du Fu and Gao Shi left the small thatched hut built in the city, originally Gao Shi brought some money out, but it was all spent, and now they are ready to go to Chang'an, each carrying a bookcase, a bundle of cloth, wearing a hat, walking.
Because there is no money to buy horses, let alone donkeys, ragged clothes, and bare toes in mango shoes. Originally, the big families in Luoyang, who wanted to fund them, drove them away because they looked down on the poor and sour appearance of the two, and casually sent a few copper coins to call them flowers.
This time I went to Chang'an, mainly to see if the princess of the protectorate was a good Bole, they had nowhere to vote, so they could only place their hopes on this newly crowned princess.
