Cheng Huaimo only realized that something was wrong after being smacked by Yang Ying, didn't this become molesting his sister-in-law in front of his brother? At the moment, he hurriedly explained to Jin Yu: "Big brother, the younger brother is unscrupulous, but he is not molesting his sister-in-law!" Don't get me wrong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Jin Yu really didn't think that Cheng Huaimo was teasing Yang Ying, but doubted whether Cheng Huaimo was really a "friend". "I'm not mistaken, but Huai Mo, you are really not good at that?"
"The little brother swears to the sky, if he is a good man, let the little brother not lift it for the rest of his life!" Cheng Huaimo saw that Jin Yu was still suspicious of him, and he didn't care about the injury on his forehead, his expression was serious, and he raised his hand and swore a poisonous oath.
"Then I'll believe you once, but you should take this medicine yourself." Jin Yu saw that Cheng Huaimo made such a poisonous oath, and immediately believed that it was a misunderstanding just now, but there is still a psychological shadow.
"The younger brother has this intention, and if the eldest brother gives him medicine, the younger brother can't stand it." Cheng Huaimo was obviously hurt in his heart, and he shivered when he thought of Jin Yu's medicine so close.
Jin Yu looked at Cheng Huaimo clumsily smearing Wanhua Oil and asked, "Huaimo won't come just for medicine, right?" ”
"There are indeed other things." Cheng Huaimo couldn't help but touch the injury when he took the medicine, and when he was in pain, he grinned and squeezed his eyebrows, I don't know if I thought that my ancestors had become monkeys.
"My father wants my eldest brother to take my sister-in-law to Uncle Qin's mansion tomorrow, and my father will also go, saying that we will discuss your marriage together." Cheng Huaimo casually said the reason for the trip while taking the medicine.
"You don't need Wimmer to make a trip to this matter, do you?" After coming to Chang'an, Yang Ying gave Jin Yu a chance to make up for the unique "family rules" of this era, and he had the intention of "teaching his husband Jackie Chan", so Jin Yu easily saw through what Cheng Huaimo said was not the real purpose of his coming to his home.
"Hehe, this is all for the eldest brother to see? Little brother admires! Cheng Huaimo took good medicine, played with the glass bottle of Wanhua oil, and said the real purpose: "The younger brother wants to partner with the eldest brother to make a deal." ”
"Buying and selling?" Jin Yu was a little surprised when he heard Cheng Huaimo say this, "I don't have anything valuable in my hand, this glass bottle is really the last one, and I can't make this thing." ”
"That's not what the little brother said." Cheng Huaimo reluctantly put the bottle on the table, and said solemnly: "Little brother refers to the soju business!" ”
"Shochu? This thing is a failed product, and if you drink it so well, you don't want to do it. Jin Yu knows that without stable products, doing business will only smash his reputation, and it will be more difficult to do something business in the future, especially now is the era of word of mouth, and consumer reviews are even more important.
"We don't do business in Guanzhong." Cheng Huaimo pretended to be profound: "Sell this soju to the bitter cold places in the northwest and northeast, those barbarians don't care if they can't get up to the top, drinking it to keep warm is the key!" ”
Jin Yu was taken aback, he really didn't expect Cheng Huaimo, the second ancestor, to have this kind of insight, but he had to veto his proposal: "That's not good, Uncle Cheng was against you doing business, and even I will suffer after knowing it, besides, you sell soju to the northwest and northeast, so that they can warm up and attack us later?" ”
"Alas, the little brother is finally optimistic about this soju, and he wants to make a career to impress his father, why is it so difficult." Cheng Huaimo was very annoyed, and patted the chair handle hard, the chair was not broken, but his hand hurt a lot.
"It's not difficult to impress Uncle Cheng, there is an opportunity in front of me, but I don't know if Huai Mo is willing to do it." Jin Yu saw that Cheng Huaimo wanted to make a career like this, and in order to realize the future of the "alcohol" he created faster, he had no choice but to benefit each other and push Cheng Huaimo.
"Oh? Big brother, let's hear it. Cheng Huaimo listened to Jin Yu's meaning and didn't block all the roads, put down his hand that was rubbing the pain of falling, and grabbed Jin Yu's arm ecstatically and asked.
"Let it go!" Although Cheng Huaimo swore that he was not a friend, Jin Yu didn't want to have any intimate contact with a man, so he knocked Cheng Huaimo's hand off and frowned.
"Hey, hey, excited, excited." Cheng Huaimo withdrew his hand and rubbed it embarrassedly.
Jin Yu sorted out his thoughts and said: "I can purify the soju into alcohol to make it stronger, it can't be used for drinking, but it can be used as disinfectant, whether it's a knife wound or a sword wound, as long as it's rubbed with alcohol, it can greatly reduce the chance of suppuration." If Sun Daochang concocted Panax notoginseng powder and threw these two things on the battlefield, would there be less attrition due to injuries? ”,
"Huh? Wonderful! Big brother, this method is wonderful! Cheng Huaimo is not a stupid person, as soon as Jin Yu finished speaking, he understood the key, stood up excitedly, paced in the study, and said as he walked: "Dad said that there are many subordinates who did not die on the battlefield, but died after victory, because there was no good medicine to treat, and they survived alive." If the younger brother can preside over the promotion of this alcohol, then the father will definitely not object, and maybe he will support the younger brother! ”
"Well, I will also ask the old fairy Zhen for the verification of the matter, and when the old fairy gives the exact result, it is not too late to tell Uncle Cheng, after all, this is not tiger bone wine, and the scope involved is too large." In order to ensure that things go more smoothly, Jin Yu finalized the schedule with Cheng Huaimo.
Cheng Huaimo stood still and gave Jin Yu a thumbs up: "The eldest brother is thoughtful, and the younger brother admires it." ”
"If this thing is successful, it will take two or three years, and after two or three years, I will make a real wine that I can't drink, and then there will be much less resistance for our brothers to work together." Jin Yu was thinking about his own plan on the way back from Zhenfu, with high-yield crops, in addition to raising some livestock, he didn't eat much, and the biggest role for himself was to make wine, if the crops he brought could be put into production smoothly, it would mean that Wuliangye came out hundreds of years in advance!
"Okay, then the little brother is waiting for the big brother to finish!" Cheng Huaimo stretched out his hand after speaking.
"What?" Jin Yu now rejects physical contact with Cheng Huaimo.
"Didn't the eldest brother say that this is the custom of the deal?" Cheng Huaimo's hand was still awkwardly between the two.
"Okay, happy cooperation!" The two hands that span more than 1,400 years have been clasped together for the second time, which is a milestone in the liquor industry.
Cheng Huaimo's lunch was still used in the Jin Mansion, and during the meal, Jin Yu and Cheng Huaimo discussed a lot of issues about the operation of goods. The dazzling product packaging, promotional methods and advertising from later generations made Cheng Huaimo fight with twelve points of spirit, although some methods were not applicable in the early Tang Dynasty, but it did not affect Cheng Huaimo's interest in learning. In the process of continuous communication, Cheng Huaimo interpreted the unreasonable places that Jin Yu said with the operation of the Tang Dynasty, and always reached a perfect combination. It can be said responsibly that this conversation has added another layer of practical guarantee to the cooperation between the two, and has laid a solid foundation for the promotion of liquor in the future.
"That's right, that cotton" After sending Cheng Huaimo out, Jin Yu remembered that this matter had been resolved.
"The little brother has found it, but it's a little difficult to get it, but the little brother has already entrusted someone to do it, and I think there will be results in the next few days." Cheng Huaimo watched Jin Yu mention this matter, patted his forehead, interrupted Jin Yu's words, and reported the latest progress of the matter.
"That's good, if it's too late, it will delay sowing." Originally, Jin Yu wanted to tell him that he had found it, but he didn't think that Cheng Huaimo was not slow, so he swallowed back the words behind, and if he said it again, it would be a little offended.
"Then the little brother will leave, tomorrow Huaiyu will come to pick up the eldest brother, and the Qin Mansion will meet again!" Cheng Huaimo stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse and left. Jin Yu's eyes are straight, isn't this a stirrup? Why didn't you have it right away? Could it be that he was cheated by profiteers?
(Split it up)
Regarding the origin of liquor, there are different opinions, and Li Shizhen mentioned in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that it began in the Yuan Dynasty. The poets of the Tang Dynasty mentioned that it was called "burning spring", a "burning" word, indicating that the degree of drinking wine at that time was already a little high, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi made a poem "Rose Flower": "The depth is the most suitable for fragrant butterflies, picking time and fear of flame burning spring." The word "flame" in this shows that the degree of liquor in the Tang Gaozong period has reached more than 40 degrees. In fact, the classification of wine in the Tang Dynasty, purely in terms of degree, should be two: one is shochu, and the other is sake. Shochu has a long history, as I said earlier. Sake was also popular at the time, and the poems of Li Bai, a person with alcohol dependence, illustrate this very well. Nowadays, it is rare in China, but it is more popular in Korea and Japan, and its origins are in China before the Tang Dynasty.
Further afield, the Shanghai Museum now has a set of distillation utensils from the Eastern Han Dynasty, which can distill liquor to a degree of 20.4°-26.6°, which can be said to be the earliest degree of distilled liquor supported by the available evidence. Although a more sophisticated distillation vessel has been unearthed, it has never been announced, so it is not known how old it will be. Of course, it is also possible that the excavated distillation utensils were used as alchemy utensils to distill special items. ,
Continuing to say from afar, the medical use of liquor was recorded in the "Fifty-two Prescriptions", which shows that there was a relatively high degree of liquor around 200 BC, so in the Three Kingdoms period, when Hua Tuo scraped Guan Yunchang's bones to cure poison, Guan Yu could use wine to anesthetize himself. (Referring to "Fifty-two Prescriptions", hoe He found a hilarious prescription when he was reading: "The general, with mercury two, men evil four, Dan one, and ''''''" Guess what this "evil" means?) I can't find it in the dictionary, hoe He sells a pass, add a group and say it, because here it is said that the light one will be audited, and the heavy one will be harmonized with ~. )
In the past, many authors wrote about the Tang Dynasty when they mentioned distilling liquor, but due to the ancient distillation technology, Hoe He did not think that the degree of liquor in the early Tang Dynasty could exceed 50 degrees, so when Hoe He mentioned liquor, the degree of distillation was more than 50 degrees, and 75% of the medical alcohol was completely distilled according to the distillation equipment of later generations.
In addition, stirrups and horseshoes, hoe He consulted a lot of information, and there are unearthed objects to prove that in 302 AD, a single stirrup appeared in China, and the double stirrup has been popularized in the Tang Dynasty. The horseshoe has not been unearthed in kind, and there is no evidence of the existence of the horseshoe in the martyrdom pit unearthed before the Yuan Dynasty, but on a mural carved by the Sui Dynasty in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, the progress of the horseshoe is vividly drawn. From this point of view, in the early Tang Dynasty, stirrups were already popular, but the popularity of horseshoe was not high. In this book, stirrups are popularized, and horseshoes are not written before they come out.
