Time flashed, and it was May.

May 184 was unusual because it was a turning point in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turban War.

From the Yellow Turban Incident to May, the Yellow Turban was very strong, and the record was also very brilliant, first defeated Zhu Jun, the right Zhonglang general, forced Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to retreat to Changshe, and defeated Taishou Zhao Qian in Runan, and even killed Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun and Taishou Liu Wei in Guangyang, it was simply to catch who to destroy whom, and it was unstoppable.

But with the arrival of May, the yellow scarves took a sharp turn, and a fire in Huangfu Song in Changshe ignited the offensive of the official army.

In this battle, Bo Cai was first hit by the fire attack plan, and was beaten by Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Sun Jian and Cao Mengde, who rushed to support, and Bo Cai was so sad that he could only defeat Yang Zhai.

After the Battle of Changshe, the officers and soldiers naturally had to celebrate, and the good news was reported to the Son of Heaven.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai suddenly laughed.

"Brother Wentai, why are you so happy?" Zhu Jun asked with a smile, he has a very good relationship with Sun Wentai, this time it is Sun Jian who Zhu Jun recruited from the Son of Heaven, and he is the Sima of the Zuo Army.

"My lord, Xia Guan suddenly remembered an interesting thing."

"What an interesting story, and it makes everyone happy when they say it."

Huangfu Song and Cao Mengde both put down their wine glasses, ready to hear what Sun Jian's interesting story was.

"According to some subordinates, it is said that there have been monsters in Nanhai County, Jiaozhou recently."

"Youkai? Ha ha. Zhu Jun laughed: "There are too many ignorant people among the people, and the theory of monsters does happen from time to time, but it is just nonsense." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan originally thought so, but there are many people who know, and they have eyes and noses, and even said that Qingping County, Nanhai County, was so frightened by the monster that he abandoned the city and fled, and now the monster occupies a county, as if no one dares to provoke."

"Is that so?" Huangfu Song frowned: "Then I'm afraid it's not a rumor." ”

"As for whether this matter is true, it's hard to say to the lower officials, you should also know that Nanhai County is not far from Yangzhou, I heard that after Nanhai County came out of the monster, many warriors in my Yangzhou went to Nanhai County, wanting to kill the snake demon and eliminate harm for the people, but I don't know how the snake demon is now, whether it has been killed."

"The basilisk?" Huangfu Song slammed the wine glass into a few places, "That monster is a snake demon?" ”

Sun Wentai looked dazed: "Yes, my lord, what's wrong?" ”

Huangfu Song snorted coldly, he didn't believe that this Sun Wentai didn't know what the snake demon represented, but he deliberately raised this matter at the banquet, with good intentions.

At other times, there may not be much to talk about the basilisk, but when is it? Now is the time for the Yellow Turban to rebel, and the Son of Heaven is extremely sensitive/sensitive at this time, and he can definitely think of Gaozu's deeds, that is, to kill the White Snake.

According to legend, Gaozu Liu Bang started an incident after he killed the white snake in Dangshan, and the truth of this incident is impossible to investigate, but the meaning it represents is extraordinary.

Now that there is a snake demon in Jiaozhou, if someone kills the snake demon, will the Han Dynasty also perish like the original Qin Dynasty and be replaced by the person who killed the snake demon?

In this case, can the Son of Heaven endure it? Absolutely no Son of Heaven can endure it, even if it is just an ethereal legend.

Therefore, Huangfu Song understands that as soon as this statement comes out, the powerful family in Jiaozhou will soon fall into a catastrophe, and these people have to bear the wrath of the Son of Heaven, as for whether there is a snake demon in Jiaozhou, does it matter? It doesn't matter, anyway, in the end, there will definitely be a snake that will be brought to the Son of Heaven and beheaded by the Son of Heaven himself.

If the powerful family in Jiaozhou is purged, then who will benefit? Obviously, it must be Jingyang Erzhou next to Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou is completely chicken ribs for the family in the Central Plains, because Jiaozhou is too far away, but for the family of Jingyang Erzhou, it is a big piece of fat.

Huangfu Song reacted quickly, and other people were not slow to respond, such as Cao Mengde, but Cao Mengde looked down at the wine in the wine glass, as if there was a flower in it.

Subsequently, the cheerful atmosphere at the banquet was gone, and everyone was overwhelmed with alcohol, so that the post-war celebration came to a hasty end.

However, there is a snake demon in Jiaozhou, and the legend of Gaozu is like having wings, and it has taken off.

..........

With the arrival of May, the weather starts to get hotter and hotter.

However, the people of Qingping County should no longer feel the heat this summer, and the grape vine trellises that can be seen everywhere can become a place for shade.

There are more and more ripe grapes in Tiejiabao, and in order to deal with these grapes, in recent days, the people of Tiejiabao have been really busy.

First of all, it is natural to make wine, because the dragon king said, don't be afraid of waste, the people of Tiejiabao really did this, and made some grapes according to the brewing methods of various fruit wines, and more than a dozen large wooden barrels containing grape juice were moved to the sun outside the castle to let the sun shine to speed up the fermentation process of the grapes.

Today is the time to open the lid to check, Liu Dalu is nearby, watching everyone open the lid and inspect the grape juice in the wooden barrel.

When the lid of a wooden barrel was lifted, there was a foul smell coming from it, and people covered their noses and retreated.

However, only one wooden barrel emitted the smell, and the remaining grape juice in the barrel can be clearly transformed into wine juice after inspection, which shows that everyone has found the right method.

The next step is filtration, that is, the filter residue, the grape pulp and grape skins have to be filtered to remove it, leaving the fermented grape juice, and this kind of filtration process has to go through at least two or three times.

During the strain, everyone tasted the grape juice and then frowned because the grape juice was very sour.

"Didn't you put sugar?" The Dragon King asked.

"Dragon King, this is just the beginning of brewing, and we don't know if we can make wine, so we don't dare to put sugar."

Sugar is also very precious in this era, and some sugarcane is planted near Tiejiabao, which is intended to be used to make sugar, but there are not many sugarcane grown, and Iron Horse does not dare to waste it.

"Is it all sour?"

"It's a lot better in this bucket." Iron Horse pointed to a wooden barrel and said, "Because the grapes used in this barrel are the best grapes." ”

The grapes used in this barrel pointed out by Iron Horse are indeed the best, only two or three grapes can be selected from each bunch, they are the largest and fullest, these grapes are the largest, the most sweet, and after being made into grape juice, there is no sourness.

"That's the best of the best." Liu Dalu said categorically.

Liu Dalu didn't know, because he wanted to do it at this time, and later this kind of wine called 'Dawei Longwang Wine' became the most expensive wine in the world, because later, only one grape per bunch selected for making 'Dawei Longwang Wine' could be selected, and there were strict regulations on the specifications of the grapes, resulting in 'Dawei Longwang Wine' could only make one barrel at most per year.
