The sound of firecrackers is jubilant!

When it was time to send Wang Xin and his wife back to the door, Liangshan was lively again. At the same time, Zhou Tong's father and son, as well as Chao Gai and Li Ying, are leaving.

Even Wang Lun himself made up his mind to go to Tokyo.

In the Juyi Hall, more than 20 leaders of the cottage gathered together.

The table is full of delicacies, as well as dumplings that are essential for the send-off. "Get on the dumplings, get off the noodles" in China, common in the north and south.

Chinese must eat dumplings every festival, and dumplings are also a traditional Chinese food. Ancient books record that as early as the fifth century A.D., during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was popular to eat dumplings. "Shaped like a glaive, the world is eaten".

Wang Lun sat on the main seat in the hall, and from him he could see everyone present. It turned out that everyone in Liangshan also gathered together to feast and drink, and today everyone is even more enthusiastic.

One is that Wang Lun led everyone to settle grass in Liangshan for more than a year, and the cottage people and horses are prosperous, and the financial resources are extensive, and everyone sees hope. The second is that there is more water wine on the wine table today, which is produced by Liangshan.

Zhu Wu is the most active atmosphere, holding up the wine glass and saying, "The ancients said that Du Kang made wine, and the previous generations also had Du Kang wine, Yidi wine, and Tusu wine. Today, there is Du Kang wine brewed by my brother and Zhu Fu brothers, and everyone will take another sip. ”

After returning to the cottage, Wang Lun studied carefully and figured out the means of distilling soju in later generations.

The principle of distilled spirits is simple, it is to use the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water. When the fermented low-alcohol sake is heated and its boiling point is in between, the alcohol components and aromatic substances can be evaporated and collected.

Wang Lun himself, coupled with the help of Zhu Fu and Du Xing, divided the liquor distillation equipment into three parts, namely the steamer, the steam transmission pipeline and the condenser.

Wang Lun personally drew out the drawings of the steamer and the condenser, and fired them into glazed ceramics in the form of clay sculptures. The steam transmission pipeline in the middle of the vessel is made of iron bamboo with a diameter of about 8 to 10 centimeters.

As for the selection of iron products, Wang Lun also thought about it, but later due to the difficulty of technology and finished products, the effect was average, so Wang Lun did not use it.

In this way, after more than a month of repeated experiments, four sets of equipment were finally successfully fired. Liangshan, Dongxi Village Chaogai, Lijiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, each one. It is Cangzhou Chai Jin, and there is also Lu Junyi's office in the Daimyo Mansion, and Wang Lun also plans to send two sets.

After the winery was built, Wang Lun instructed Zhu Fu to take people to brew soju. Wang Lun tasted the first pot of soju, and the degree was about 40 degrees. It is 10 degrees higher than the current highest alcohol level. But Wang Lun also wants to brew 50 or 60 degrees of soju, so that there is more market for northern cuisine.

Everyone took the wine from the bowl and drank it all. But I feel that the mouth is pungent, the wine is mellow, and the aftertaste is endless, and I only feel that the wine and white water I have drunk in the past are undoubted.

"Good wine! Iron Bull has never drunk such a good wine! After drinking the wine in the bowl, Li Kui couldn't help but praise loudly.

Ruan Xiaoqi is also a good wine among the people in Liangshan, holding a wine glass and saying: "It's a great pleasure to be able to drink such a fine wine!" If you can have this wine to eat every day, we shouldn't give it to a big official! ”

"The brother of the owner of the village is really erudite, he can do what others can't, this is the first time I've seen such good wine."

"Have a good time, drink a lot, eat a lot of meat! Ha ha! ”

"This kind of wine is unheard of in the world, and it is hard to find a thousand gold!"

The words of the cottage people made Wang Lun fall into deep thought.

Wang Lun looked at the wine in his hand and said in his heart: At present, the wine and food are enjoying everything, which is really addictive.

Thinking of this, Wang Lun instructed the little minion to get a pen and paper, and immediately wrote down three big characters. "Wine", "Drunk", "Sober"

Wang Lun drank a glass of wine and said loudly: "Brothers, I have a story to share with you. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked up at Wang Lun. There are also sharp-eyed ones, and they have already seen the three big characters written by Wang Lun. But Li Zhu and Zhu Wu knew each other, but Li Kui, Jiao Ting and others did not.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a farmer named Yidi, who saw that King Yu was working hard to control the water, so he gave the rice water he brewed to King Yu to drink. King Yu felt that this rice water was mellow and delicious, so he drank the whole jar. After a while, King Yu was top-heavy and fell to the ground. The guards thought that Yidi had poisoned King Yu with poison, so they wanted to punish him with death. But the doctor diagnosed: King Yu was breathing normally, but his pulse was faster. ”

The next morning, King Yu opened his eyes and saw that everyone looked abnormal, so he asked what had happened. And the doctor told him what had happened. After hearing this, King Yu laughed, asked him to go back to Yidi, let him sit down, and asked him what he drank for himself? Yidi said that it was rice water that he brewed himself, but it didn't have a name yet. ”

Shi Bao, Shi Jin, and Li Kui listened to it with relish, while Li Zhu, Zhu Wu, and Wang Jin fell into deep thought.

Wang Lun's story continues, "The next morning, King Yu opened his eyes and saw that everyone looked abnormal, so he asked what had happened. As soon as the medical officer arrived, King Yu laughed when he heard it. King Yu asked Yi Di to sit down and asked him what he was drinking. Yi Di asked King Yu to name him. Speaking of this, Wang Lun pointed to the three big characters he wrote. King Yu said: "I drank it yesterday, and the water in the unitary time is called 'wine'!" ””

The medical officer stood aside and said, "You are unconscious after drinking, and everyone thinks you are dead, but you are not dead, what should you call it?" King Yu said: "When you drink wine, if you drink too much like a pawn, you can call it 'drunk'!" Then the doctor said, "Well, you have drunk yesterday and come back to life this morning when the sun rises, and you should wake up!" ”

After listening to Wang Lun's words, Li Kui was the first to speak, "Haha, my brother is really knowledgeable, and he has so much to say when he drinks." I also learned three words this time! ”

Li Zhu and Zhu Wu heard Wang Lun's voice-over, the two glanced at each other, and Zhu Wu immediately came forward to speak.

"Brother, this story is well told! The younger brother also remembered that Emperor Yu pointed to the wine and said, 'There will be people who lose the country with this in the future!' It is true that the king of Shang is one of them! ”

Li Zhu glanced at everyone and said, "Although this wine is good, don't be greedy for a cup!" ”

There were two people who said this, Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Kui and others knew Wang Lun's intentions.

Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly said, "Brother of the village owner, rest assured, the drinking is small, the cottage is big, Xiaoqi is awake!" ”

Seeing this, Li Kui also said: "Brother, don't worry, you let me drink, I will drink!" You don't let me ...... You told me to drink less and drink less! ”

He wanted to say that Wang Lun wouldn't let him drink it, but he was still reluctant to drink it, and finally changed his words.

"Haha, you black bull!" Li Zhu pointed at Li Kui and laughed.

Seeing that everyone understood their meaning, Wang Lun lifted the wine again, "It's good that the brothers are awake, and drink this cup to the full!" ”

"!"
