Chapter 458: I'm going to install an anti-theft net
The biggest problem with fruit wines of this era is tannins.
Tannins are a secondary metabolite in the plant kingdom, but after fermentation, they cannot break down the tannins, and can only remain in the wine, which is cloudy and bitter.
Take wine as an example, when the wine is like a mouth, the mouth will feel dry, and the mucosa of the mouth will be wrinkled, which is the tannin at work, and the tannin-rich red wine will be stored for many years before it will gradually brew a mellow and delicate aging flavor.
It can be said that the amount of tannins determines the flavor, structure and texture of the wine, and red wines lacking tannins taste light and thin, without a thick and mellow feeling, Beaujolais red wine is a typical representative.
Tannins are not good or bad, but in the brewing of fruit wine, it naturally does more harm than good. As a science student, Mo Qian has some understanding of these, and it is not difficult to make glycerin, and it cannot be said that it will sell well, but it is also a good enjoyment to taste it yourself.
After thinking about it, Mo Qian said: "I have been brewing orange wine recently, and it can remove the bitterness in it, if you are interested, you can come and taste it at that time." ”
"It's natural, in fact, the fruit wine has a unique flavor, and if you can remove the bitter taste from it, you will definitely be able to sell it." Nangong Qingxuan nodded and said.
"I don't have to sell it big, I think it's better to have it exclusively."
Mo Qian said with a smile, in fact, when he was in Ningyuan, if he didn't want to make money, he didn't need to bother to make spirits, and then promote them with the help of the martial arts conference.
Now I don't need that money, it's naturally exclusive to myself, so why bother to promote it and then be busy with the problem of production.
"By the way, you're not just here for a late-night snack, what's the matter?" Mo Qian asked.
"If you don't say that I forgot, I actually came here tonight to tell you that now those customers who sell illicit salt in the south are urging the salt merchants in Yangcheng very tightly, asking them to ship within ten days, if you can seize this opportunity, maybe you can catch them off guard."
Nangong Qingxuan said that the relationship between the two people is very delicate now, and Mo Qian doesn't know her identity, but because of the help last time, Mo Qian has gained a lot of clues, and the other party has not felt any malice now, so the two of them can be regarded as friends.
Mo Qian was puzzled: "I don't know what kind of hatred you have with this group of officials in Yangcheng, it seems that you want to put them to death!" Now that we don't know each other, you pass on so much news and don't have any worries? ”
"At least for you now, eradicating Meng Yang's forces isn't a bad thing, is it?" Nangong Qingxuan said seriously.
Mo Qian nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "That's true, but it's okay to eradicate Meng Yang, but I'm afraid that the wolf was sent away, and a more ferocious tiger came." ”
Nangong Qingxuan's identity has not yet been investigated, but according to the current situation, he has a powerful intelligence network, and he obviously does not work with the imperial court, so it seems that there are some clues.
"I have another question, can you tell me who you mean by the south you have been talking about?"
Nangong Qingxuan tapped lightly on the tabletop, "Poyang Lake." ”
"Wang Shun?" Mo Qian's eyes widened instantly, this Wang Shun was started a few years ago, originally mainly active in Guangdong and Fujian, and then the previous emperor was seriously ill, so he found an opportunity to fight all the way from Lingnan to the north, and it happened that the war in the north was tight, and he was unable to go south to quell the rebellion, but let him attack all the way to the area of Poyang Lake, and even in the vicinity of Yangcheng, there were some forces infiltrated.
It's just that since Jiangyang ascended the throne last year, the situation has stabilized, and Wang Shun has not been able to go further. I didn't expect Meng Yang and these people to be so bold, and they really started business with the rebels.
said that Meng Yang and these people intended to rebel, Mo Qian didn't believe it, who would be so stupid, let the prosperous Yangcheng officials not do it, and follow a mud leg to do this kind of head-losing thing, but in Mo Qian's opinion, what they did was actually not far from losing their heads.
"Okay, I'm here to tell you this tonight, the rest is up to you, by the way, rub your meal, next time I bring you some small things."
Nangong Qingxuan stood up, stretched out in satisfaction, and walked towards the window.
"No need, no need...... Mo Qian said embarrassedly, but when he saw Nangong Qingxuan walking towards the window, he hurriedly shouted: "Miss Qingxuan, there is a door on the side!" ”
"Okay." Nangong Qingxuan nodded, and then with a light touch on his feet, he flew out of the window.
"Alas......" Mo Qian sighed softly, everyone likes to walk through the window so much, maybe next time I will install an anti-theft net.

After a few more days, the dock, which was originally very calm, suddenly became busy, and the ships came in and out, and it looked very regular.
Fortunately, Mo Qian listened to Nangong Qingxuan's words, sent more people at the dock, and by the way, he also stared at Pang Qi, taking his every move into view.
As for the civil and military officials in Yangcheng, after a few days of contact, coupled with the addition of Meng Yang and others, they all knew Mo Qian's purpose, and the image he had created on the way to office was scattered.
Everyone originally thought that he was a greedy and lustful scholar, but they didn't expect a smiling tiger who pretended to be a pig.
Immediately followed by the issue of officials' standing in line, tearing off their faces, these were nakedly exposed, this needless to say, naturally there were more officials on Meng Yang's side.
As for the officials installed in the Dragon Guardian Villa on Mo Qian's side, the other part was unpopular on Meng Yang's side, and some were wait-and-see. These Mo Qian didn't care much, what he was more concerned about was whether he could take this opportunity to get the evidence in one fell swoop, and then clean up these officials.
A man dressed in a short shirt hurriedly walked into the mansion, greeted a maid and made a report, all the way into the backyard.
"Childe, Peng Yun asks to see." "Huh? What's so urgent? ”
Mo Qian had just finished washing his face at this time, and when he heard the sound outside, the towel came out without putting it down. This Peng Yun is a person from the Yangcheng branch of the Dragon Guardian Villa, and it was also Mo Qian who appointed him to keep an eye on Pang Qi.
"It's really urgent, we are targeting Pang Qi's brother and being killed!" Peng Yun said hatefully.
"What?" Mo Qian put the towel on the table, his brows locked into a Sichuan character, "They are so bold?" What the hell is going on, you say it slowly, I will definitely avenge my dead brother! ”
