"Brother Gao, are you familiar with Yizhou City?" Zhou Nan asked.

Gao Yuan sat bored, and when he saw Zhou Nan asking him, he said: "Familiar is familiar, but I don't know what Da Lang asked Yizhou City to do?" ”

Zhou Nan didn't answer Gao Yuan's question first, turned back to the inner room first, took out a porcelain bottle, and pulled out the wooden cork vigorously, and suddenly a strong aroma of wine filled the room. Gao Yuan's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Da Lang, where did you get hurt?" Zhou Nan took a shallow bowl of drinking water, poured out half a bowl, and said, "Brother Gao, how about you just say that this wine is drunk?" ”

Gao Yuan pretended to pick up the bowl, first sniffed it, Zhou Nan saw it, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, you have already drunk a lot, right?" I have a lot of wine in this bottle. ”

Gao Yuan first took a big sip, then smacked his lips before saying, "Don't hide it from Da Lang, you treated Gao Fu's kid that day, and I smelled the smell of the boss outside." Later, I heard my sister say that it took two jars of wine to make it, and I knew it was a good thing. It's a pity that there are too few. In the past, I drank secretly, and I only dared to wet my mouth, but today is enjoyable. ”

Gao Yun brought the meal in, Zhou Nan hurriedly got up to help, it has been more than half a year, he is still not used to sitting and waiting for dinner, he will still help Gao Yun do this and that. It's just that Gao Yun asked him to help serve the meal at most, and he was not allowed to do anything else.

Tonight is pea barley porridge, salt soy sauce, cold alfalfa, put on the table, this is Zhou Nan's favorite food, drink some porridge every day, eat some fresh wild vegetables, coarse tea and light rice can best nourish people. Gao Yun girl, naturally, doesn't like to be greasy, but Gao Yuan frowned when she looked at it, but having this half bowl of wine today can be regarded as compensation.

Zhou Nan doesn't need to ask, just look at Gao Yuan's obsession with holding the wine bowl and not putting it down when eating, this distilled liquor is against Gao Yuan's taste.

"Brother Gao, if there are more than a dozen jars of this wine, it may be sold at a good price in this Yizhou City?" Zhou Nan asked tentatively.

"Da Lang, if there is really such a good wine, it will only be a loss to sell it to Yizhou." Gao Yuan shook his head and took a mouthful of salt beans and put them in his mouth.

Zhou Nan was strange and asked, "How can I lose money?" ”

"How many rich people are there in this Yizhou City? If this high-quality wine is transported to Youzhou City, a jar of ten catties, one catty will be sold for one hundred Wen, and that jar will also be full of money. ”

Gao Yun said on the side: "Brother Mo is drunk, a jar of wine, at most 100 Wen, how can you sell it for a lot of money?!" Gao Yuan hurriedly said: "In the past, I also went to Youzhou with people, and I have seen the wine in the city, the silver bottle of lamb wine, a pound will cost more than 100 yuan, Dalang this wine, drink in the mouth, only to feel happy, has been tasted by the nobles in the city, and the money will never be less." ”

Zhou Nan doesn't understand the market of the current era, since Gao Yuan thinks it's a good wine, then you can try it. This distilled liquor is cheap to obtain, just use some grain, rice, koji, and there are not a few people in the cottage who can make their own wine, and they can buy it from them to increase production. This method of distilling liquor, I have told Lao Zheng Tou before, that Lao Zheng Tou can direct the distillation, make the finished liquor, put it into the wine jar, package it, and transport it to Youzhou City for sale.

Zhou Nan ate, and told Gao Yuan's brothers and sisters the idea of making money by brewing, Gao Yuan supported Zhou Nan no matter what, not to mention winemaking, and he could drink a few sips with his own family, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Da Lang, if you find someone to sell in Youzhou City, you will hand it over to me, and there will be no mistakes." I used to make a friend who opened a restaurant in Youzhou City, which was reliable. Gao Yun has brought people to cook for the soldiers of the Family Protection Society every day these days, seeing that the grain and rice in the warehouse are less than a day, and he is also looking forward to Zhou Nan's wine being sold for some money. Don't ask for a jar of wine to sell for enough money, as long as there is a slight surplus, you can earn some ration money for the village.

On the second day, Zhou Nan was dragged by Gao Yuan to accompany him to inspect everywhere, and asked Zhou Nan to take care of the soldiers of the family to train in a line, although it was not very neat, but it was also quite imposing. Zhou Nan looked at it for a while, then greeted Gao Yuan and went to find Lao Zhengtou. Old Zheng Tou was transcribing things alone in the stone house, and there was still a wine cup on the table, which seemed to be enjoying himself.

Lao Zheng Tou saw that it was Zhou Nan, so he gave Zhou Nan a wine cup, let Zhou Nan feel comfortable, Zhou Nan also poured a glass, took a sip, although it is turbid wine, but it is better in nature, Zhou Nan in the previous time and space, because of the nature of work, did not drink less, drank too much, it was boring, plus drinking bad body, but also lost a good impression of wine. Everything must have a degree, and if it is excessive, good things will become bad things. Jin and Yuan ruled the Central Plains and brought the spirits of the north into the traditional Han area, and the Han people, who were originally valued for brewing wine, had to accept this high spirit, and later the Ming Dynasty resumed the sweet brewing wine, but with the entry of the Qing Dynasty, this high wine once again prevailed. Good wine is naturally a good thing, but the higher the wine, the more you drink, the more it hurts your body, it is not as good as this home-brewed mountain wine, although it is bland, but there is a meaning on the line, besides, drinking two bowls will not hurt the body.

The two of them chatted while drinking, and naturally talked about wine. After hearing Zhou Nan say that he wanted to borrow his wine again, Lao Zheng Tou said that he would not even borrow it, but said that he did not have it anymore, and if he wanted to borrow it this time, he should find Liu Zongwang and others to borrow it. Zhou Nan learned that in addition to being a stonemason, Liu Zongwang would also make his own wine.

Zhou Nan asked how much grain and rice it costs to brew and how long it takes, and he has to ask clearly, calculate the cost, and then order how much it will be sold.

Lao Zheng Tou listened to Zhou Nan ask about winemaking, thinking that Zhou Nan wanted to brew by himself, so he was naturally happy to teach Zhou Nan, so he carefully said to Zhou Nan: "This method of brewing wine, the ancient books contain, is to steam the rice, and then spread it out to cool, and then mix it with koji to make it taste, wait for the rice to become bad, filter it out with a wine sieve, put it in the jar and seal it, less than a month, more than a few years, this wine will become." The cost is not much, two pieces of coarse rice, one piece of qu, and six buckets ......of wine."

Zhou Nanyi heard about Hu and Dou, and hurriedly interrupted Lao Zheng Tou and said: "You only convert it into money to calculate, how many catties of wine can you make with a little money?" ”

Lao Zheng Tou took a pen and counted on the paper: "According to the consistent money of one stone of rice, two pieces of coarse rice and one piece of wine koji, it is three times of money, and you can get six buckets of wine, which is about 800 catties of wine." ”

Zhou Nan nodded, 800 catties of liquor can distill about 300 catties of liquor, that is, more than 30 jars, a jar of wine sells for a consistent price, and more than 30 jars is more than 30 jars. Profits are okay.

Seeing that Lao Zheng Tou looked at him suspiciously, Zhou Nan told Lao Zheng Tou about his idea of making wine to make money, and Lao Zheng Tou understood that Zhou Nan asked him to calculate the cost of brewing just now. Lao Zheng Tou heard Zhou Nan say that ten catties of liquor can make more than three catties of distilled liquor, so he said categorically: "This is naturally profitable." When it comes to this steamed wine alone, it is not expensive to sell it for ten catties. Zhou Nan asked strangely: "How do you know that ten catties can be sold for a consistent amount of money?" Lao Zheng Tou said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it, I also secretly tasted it that day, it was really delicious." It's just that Da Lang, you stay here with me to treat your injuries, and the little old man doesn't dare to drink it secretly. ”

Zhou Nan couldn't help but be angry, I don't know if I will make money in the future, so I will drink two drunkards first.
