Chapter 156: Jin Wine
The development of liquor, carried out for a long time, but also achieved better results, through the distillation method to obtain the liquor, its intensity is absolutely unattainable in this era of liquor, the price of spirits is very expensive, for many people, wine is also a luxury, wine is made of grain, ordinary people to fill their stomachs are a big problem, not to mention drinking idle wine.
The experience in Chang'an made Lu Bu realize the huge profits of wine, although it consumes food, as long as Mi Zhu can buy a steady stream of food from the Central Plains, he will become more profitable, the tavern opened by Mi Zhu, a jar of wine costs 10,000 yuan, it is said that it is a spirit, and the distilled wine is far from the same, people who are addicted to alcohol, may be able to drink a jar at a time, and the distilled spirits may be able to get drunk just a few bowls.
The workers in the winery, like the craftsmen's workshops, are kept absolutely secret, which is a cash cow in the state, and Lu Bu is counting on these wines to make more money.
Zhao Jiu, the person in charge of the winery, is a well-known tavern shopkeeper in the city, his wife and children died in the hands of the Yellow Turban Yu, and the state new army exterminated the Yellow Turban Yusin in the surrounding area, indirectly helped him avenge the revenge, and was also grateful to the state pastor's house, and tried to register in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, but did not want to be reused, became the person in charge of the Jinyang Winery, and the number of people in the winery responsible for brewing wine is also hundreds, which is definitely a big deal, he is already in his fifties He feels very satisfied, and it is worth it to be able to die on the work of doing most of his life
When Lu Bu handed over the secret of the method of making wine to Zhao Jiu, Zhao Jiu seemed to have found a new goal all of a sudden, making a wine that had never been before, what an exciting thing it would be, who has a secret recipe in his hand this year, it is not hidden and tucked, who will easily show people, take him as an example, if it is not for the state pastoral government and his kindness, he will definitely not contribute the family heirloom winemaking secret recipe, the ancestral secret recipe is very precious, related to the rice bowl of generations of heirs, as long as there is craftsmanship, he is not afraid of not having food and clothing.
Lu Bu looked at Zhao Jiu, who was full of red light, and said with a smile: "Drunkard Zhao, how is this wine?" "Zhao Jiu is addicted to alcohol, and he is given the title of drunkard
Zhao Jiu seemed to think of the brewed wine, and licked his lips, "This wine is so fierce, the life of the little one is rare, and the brewing method is unheard of." ”
"Well, the matter of Jinyang Distillery is very important, in the future, the people in the distillery are not allowed to go out without permission, as soon as they eat and wear, someone will send them to the distillery, anyway, there are many rooms in the distillery, so let all the families of those people move in to live, this time you can brew new wine, you are also indispensable, for talented people, the state pastoral government will not hesitate to reward, from now on, you enjoy the treatment of county officials."
Zhao Jiu was excited when he heard this, the treatment of the county official, this is a big thing to honor the ancestors, no matter how good the wine is, he is always a person from the lower class, and the new wine has changed his status, and he has also heard of the treatment of the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop, and the highest is only the treatment of the county official, I didn't expect that one day he could reach such a point.
"Please give the new sake a name." Zhao Jiuqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, I had always heard that people who made great contributions would be given official positions, but I didn't expect such a good thing to fall on my head.
"The name of the new wine." Lu Bu looked at Dian Wei and said, "Ah Wei, you might as well try this wine and try to drink a few bowls." ”
Dian Wei is also a well-known drunkard, as long as he has leisure time, he will definitely drink in the restaurant in the city, and the amount of alcohol is still relatively large, of course, this kind of wine is large, referring to the ancient wine, if the second pot head of the later generations is stuffy donkey, I am afraid that the two bottles will also be poured.
The degree of new wine is very high for people in this era, and if there are people who can drink this kind of wine without getting drunk, they are serving alcoholic-level characters.
Dian Wei licked his lips and smelled the wine, he had long been hungry, and now there was an order from the lord, after the promise, he stepped forward and picked up a bowl, feeling that the aroma of the wine was very strong, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach were also seduced, and he turned his face and drank a bowl of wine, such a big bowl is definitely more than a catty.
After drinking, Dian Wei felt that the entire internal organs seemed to be burning, and his whole body was comfortable, such a feeling, ordinary drinking needs to be drunk on a jar to have, and he couldn't help laughing: "Good wine, really good wine." After speaking, he smacked his lips, picked up another bowl and drank it all.
After three bowls in a row, Dian Wei felt that the sky was spinning, and one fell to the ground unsteadily.
"General Dian is drunk, quickly help him to the room to rest." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Dian Wei's alcohol volume is definitely second to none in the army, so drinking three bowls in a row is a huge test for the amount of alcohol, and the distilled wine, how to say that the degree is also forty degrees, so that the amount of alcohol is good, I am afraid it will also fall.
"General Dian usually loves to drink, the amount of wine is very large, and now it is poured in three bowls, this wine is produced by Jinyang Distillery, it is called Jin Bar."
Zhao Jiu said: "Thank you for the name, and the new wine will be called Jin wine in the future." "Zhao Jiu can't tell the difference between a good and bad name, and it's already a great thing that wine can have a name.
The wine of this year, as long as it is a strong liquor, it is not worrying about the market, the people of this era, drinking is a trend, if the amount of alcohol is small, it will be despised, especially when the soldiers in the army go to the street, they will also drink a few sips, and when they are addicted to alcohol, when the army returns victorious, they will drink for several days.
It's just that drinking alcohol is expressly forbidden in the state army, from the generals to the non-commissioned officers, unless there is a specific time, it is not allowed to drink.
Although it is said that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but Lu Bu thinks about how to make money quickly, and the news of this era spreads too slowly, and when this wine is famous all over the world, it is not sure when it will go, but the means of propaganda are limited, at this time Lu Bu thought of the newspapers of later generations, which do not need too high technology, as long as there are words on it.
Leaving the Jinyang Wine Workshop, Lu Bu was thinking about it, Cai Yong is a great Confucian, and he is his own teacher, it is always good to discuss such things as newspapers with him, thinking of this, Lu Bu ordered the guards to go to the wine shop to move two jars of wine out.
The wine in the winery has not yet reached mass production, and there are only about ten jars of wine in total.
It's also a shame to say that since Cai Yong came to Jinyang, he has rarely had time to visit, and even handed over the Jinyang School to the teacher to take care of, which is obviously an act of bullying the teacher.
Lu Bu arrived, Cai Yong seemed very happy, he was old, and he always hoped that someone would accompany him, Cai Yan was very concerned about the affairs of the school, even if he was beside him, the two of them basically talked about the affairs of the school.
Four shifts a day, it means that the pressure is indeed a bit big, the family has been a little busy recently, and I have to go to work, I am really exhausted, brothers, support me more.
