"Then why did you approach me, you should tell me."

"To be honest, I was just curious about the oily noodles you made, but at that time I didn't have the idea of coming to you because of the oily noodles, and when I saw the braised pork, I was determined to follow you to explore the secrets of making food."

Well, in the world of foodies, normal people will never understand, just for the sake of a meal, he did not hesitate to make himself a cook's follower, which made Jia Yi hard to believe that Zhang Daren's IQ could become an official Is it that all the officials of the Ministry of Officials are dozing off collectively when they review him.

"In that case, then you can go, I don't care about the money you want, if you still want to eat braised pork, wait until the Sifang Inn reopens, you can come and eat again." Jia Yi doesn't want an official to stay by his side all the time, as a businessman, he feels a lot of pressure, if he violates the law and discipline a little, he doesn't need to report to the official, and he can directly correct the law on the spot.

"Well, that Wang Mengfa has a deep hatred for you recently, I'll take care of you for a while before leaving." Zhang Daren threw down such an excuse that was not an excuse, and without waiting for Jia Yi to say anything against it, he ran towards his room as if flying.

Looking at Zhang Daren's appearance, Jia Yi also felt powerless, so he could only go with him.

For the next two days, everything was in an orderly manner, the old house of the Sifang Inn had been completely demolished, and the foundation had been completed under the hard work of twenty masons, and he was ready to start building the house. Sun Simiao is still treating Old Man Lin's illness, worthy of being a miracle doctor, in just a few days, Old Man Lin's body has obviously improved, and I believe that the day of recovery is just around the corner. Jia Yi chose a room in the second courtyard, completely vacated the inside, and then bought a donkey and a grinding disc. The division of labor among the three sisters of the Lin family is even clearer, Lin Ruyu will go to the construction site every day to have a look, and take Lin Meiyu to deliver food to the twenty masons, and Lin Baoyu still takes care of the old man Lin. As for Zhang Daren, this dispensable passer-by, no one cares what he is doing every day.

When all the distillation equipment was sent in batches, Jia Yi immediately vacated a room in the courtyard, and then installed the entire distillation equipment, the distillation equipment is not complicated, the following is a furnace-like thing, and then the top is a cauldron, the difference is that there is a straight cylinder on the cauldron, the top of the straight tube is an oval lid, and there is a hole at the top of the lid, and a diversion pipe is inserted in this hole, and the entire distillation equipment is completed.

Zhang Daren, who was sore with idle eggs, went out to buy a few large jars of wine, which made Zhang Daren very happy, because all the Lin family in the entire Lin Mansion did not like to drink, so there was no storage of wine, Sun Simiao as a Taoist priest was not a drop of wine, Jia Yi and Jia Er were not very old, and they were not suitable for drinking.

Most of the wine in the Tang Dynasty is still rice wine, basically there is no degree, it is only about ten degrees, even if it is called agar syrup wine in Chang'an City, it is only the impurities in the rice wine are filtered, and the degree of alcohol has basically not changed in any way.

Jia Yi bought a few jars of rice wine, and this initial attempt required a process, so Jia Yi didn't buy too much, first try whether there was a problem with the equipment.

Back in the steaming room, Jia Yi didn't let Zhang Daren follow in, this is a matter of the secret of distilled spirits, and Zhang Daren can't be allowed to learn it.

Rice wine is poured into the distiller from the injection hole, and then it starts to live, the fire must be slow, so that the temperature can be controlled, the volatilization temperature of alcohol is 80 degrees, that is, when the rice wine begins to bubble out of small bubbles, it needs to be removed from the fire to control the temperature.

Jia Yi slowly added firewood to the stove, while observing the state of the rice wine from the filling hole, when the fine bubbles rose from the bottom, he removed most of the firewood, leaving only a little, so that the stove could maintain this temperature, and then he inserted the bamboo tube that had been prepared long ago into the mouth at the top, and the bottom of the bamboo tube was connected to a small wine jar.

The distilled alcohol quickly condensed into a liquid state after encountering the iron sheet at the top, and slowly flowed out along the diversion pipe, the distillation speed was not very fast, but after half an hour, the small wine jar was already filled with half a jar of wine.

Changed the jar and continued to distill, Jia Yi came to the mouth of the jar and smelled it, the rich aroma of wine almost smoked him, at least fifty degrees above the height of the wine is not his favorite regardless of whether it is the past life or this life, as the saying goes, it is the grain **, but it is really uncomfortable to drink too much.

The second jar of wine is much smaller, and as soon as Jia tastes it, it looks like he is in his twenties, which is just right for him.

Looking at the sky outside, it was close to lunch time, just to let the big guy see his peerless wine, and walked out of the distillation room with two jars, and ran into Zhang Daren who came over with a sniff.

"You're a dog? How do you see the road with your nose closed? ”

For Zhang Daren's special skill, Jia Yi is angry and happy, angry that he doesn't look at the road properly, it would be bad if he hit anyone, and the happy thing is that he actually came to himself, smelling his feet from head to foot, and he really looked like a dog.

"What kind of wine, how can it be so fragrant."

"Hello Ling's nose, blessed are you at noon today, this is my freshly brewed wine." Winemaking, even the wine lees can't be made for half an hour, although Zhang Daren is not as smart as Jia Yi, but he is not so stupid that he can't think of this thing, he glanced at Jia Yi fiercely, and his two eyes were on the wine jar under Jia Yi's ribs, and he couldn't move anything.

Jia Yi smiled, led Zhang Daren to the backyard with two wine jars, put up the door panel as usual, and the wine jar was placed on the table, and then, regardless of Zhang Daren, he went into the kitchen, I have to get a few hard dishes today, otherwise this wine will not be able to drink.

The braised pork was served as usual, and there was also a plate of fried lamb with green onions, and the others were made casually, but there was a little meat in each dish.

Not everyone has a good nose like Zhang Daren, and they can smell the aroma of wine from afar, and everyone who comes out of the room is attracted by the aroma of those dishes fried by Jia Yi, and when everyone followed Jia Yi into the room that was converted into a restaurant, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

Zhang Daren was lying on the ground holding a wine jar, the snoring sound shook the sky, there was not much wine in the wine jar, and after Zhang Daren drank a lot, the rest was not bad at all, and it was all fed to the earth.

Seeing that the wine he had worked so hard to get was so spoiled by Zhang Daren, a reckless man, the ignorant karmic fire suddenly erupted from the bottom of his heart, and he was just about to go up and kick the drunk man's feet to get angry, but Sun Simiao walked in first, smelling the aroma of wine in the room and sighing with an intoxicated face: "What a rich aroma of wine." ”

The good wine is gone, and there is only a low-alcohol wine in the twenties, although it is a little stronger than the Xibei goods of Qiong Jelly, but it is also limited, and it is better than nothing, otherwise I am really sorry for the dishes I fried.

Jia Yi was young, Old Man Lin was sick, Sun Simiao didn't drink alcohol, Jia Yi poured a bowl for the third daughter and himself, and was just about to say "Drink wins." The chopsticks in Sun Simiao's hand slammed on the small bowl in front of him.

"Are you going to drink it for Lao Dao to watch?"

This began to be accused, Jia Yi had to pour a bowl for Lao Dao, the five of them ate the dishes and drank slowly, for a while, a jar of wine bottomed out, everyone's face showed a little drunken flush, eat and drink enough, take a nap, everyone scattered back to the room, leaving Zhang Daren still lying on the ground, I don't know who put a rag on his mouth.

After waking up, the sun has been seriously tilted westward, stretched out fiercely, many days of fatigue, finally was completely cured by this low-degree wine, Jia Yi was relaxed one by one carp climbed up from the bed, walked out of the room just to meet Zhang Daren who was staggering over.

"Jia Yi, what kind of wine are you brewing, why are you so strong?" Zhang Daren didn't ask about the multiple rags in his mouth, but asked Jia Yi about the alcohol content with a surprised face, you must know that when he was in Chang'an, he drank with those guys, and he often drank alone and lay down a group, why did he drink a small half jar today, and he slept unconscious.

"Fine wine." What the unpredictable and profound is what Jia Yi looks like now, explaining a fart, drinking too much is drinking too much, asking why is a fart, this is the price of greed.

Now there is still some time before dark, Sun Simiao, a member of Jia's family, came to treat Old Man Lin, or a free clinic, as a domestic slave of Old Man Lin, how can he say that he is not, for a doctor, or a doctor of the Tang Dynasty, what better gift than high alcohol. Go to the street and buy a few jars of liquor, come back and do some repeated distillation, and it is no problem to steam a small jar of high alcohol.

The time required for repeated distillation is not something that can be done in just half an hour, buy back the wine, toss until midnight, Jia Yicai made a small jar of alcohol, about two catties, I believe that if Sun Simiao knew the use of this alcohol in medicine, he would be very happy.

In order to prevent the dog-nosed Zhang Daren from discovering better wine again, Jia Yi carefully hid two catties of alcohol in his room, and after making sure that there was no smell coming out, he slept peacefully.
