The oath has been made, time is not waiting, a few people immediately began to act, large-scale purification of liquor, is not a small kitchen can be competent, as the so-called work wants to do a good job, must first sharpen its tools, assembly line production tools are indispensable, Xiao Yi is going to start drawing to make distilled liquor utensils; As soon as the pen was lifted, he was hugged by Da Niu and Ma Liuyi, "My master, don't draw a picture, last time I drew a drawing, and the result was a hexagonal fire kang, how many people will die this time......"

Later "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" Wei Shu recorded: "Niu and Ma Er, before each major war, received the 'Wushou Hou' Xiao Yi sent the formation map, never looked at it, all of them were thrown at will, and then it was obtained by the enemy spies, and the enemy army discussed the method of countermeasures according to the formation map......; Later generations said that "there is no worry about the god map, very people can understand it!" ”

In desperation, Xiao Yi had no choice but to come to the blacksmith's shop in person to explain the purpose and what he needed......

In fact, the utensils for distilling liquor are very simple, two large iron pots, a large wooden barrel, some cloth, and a long copper pipe, but considering that there is no technology to make such a long copper pipe in this era, a very long bamboo is used instead; The iron pot is ready-made, because it is located in the cold north, so the bamboo pipe used for drainage is not easy to find, fortunately, the neighbor's cobbler in addition to selling animal skins, but also making bows and arrows, and the materials for making bows and arrows in addition to the need for cow tendons, horns, and good bamboo, Xiao Yi directly carried a bundle back.

Seeing Xiao Yat with such fanfare, the blacksmith and the cobbler put down their work, carried the utensils, and followed them to the backyard of the Liang family tavern, wanting to see with their own eyes what miracles this brilliant young man could bring to everyone......

Speaking of wine; Since the day when our primitive ancestors put the uneaten wild fruits into stone pits, rotted, and fermented to produce alcohol, wine has formed an indissoluble bond with human beings; Looking at the performance of celebrities throughout the ages, you can see that wine has a great influence on the Chinese.

Liu Ling is the first person to drink alcohol in history, and the name of the wine is higher than the name of the text, and there used to be words:

"The wine is buried when the land is ploughed,

It is not hindered to be a good man.

Bronze camel thorns desolate sigh,

Baume & Mercier never cares! ”

Drink and bury where you die, it's really a kind of realm.

Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty is known as the 'wine fairy', Du Fu is more addicted to alcohol than Li Bai, according to statistics, Li Bai has 1050 existing poems, 170 involving drinking, more than 16%; There are more than 1,400 poems by Du Fu, involving 300 pieces of drinking, which is more than 21%. According to the test, many of Li Bai's descendants were mentally handicapped and had physical defects, and Du Fu died of excessive drinking. However, the literati of the past generations still "regarded death as home" when drinking. This spirit of drinking is truly worshiped by later generations of drunkards! (The editor has to bow down to one first, a hero in the literary world, a hero in the wine country, and a model for us).

If the literati and elegant guests still drink with a hint of literary romance, then the drinking of kings in the past dynasties has a trace of blood.

"Shuo Wen Jie Zi" has: "The ancients Xia Yu period Yi Di made wine mash, Yu tasted it and beautiful, so Yi Di was sparse." Dayu is afraid that future generations will lose their country by drinking, so he used great perseverance to quit drinking, and alienated Yidi, who made wine, but look at the wonderful performance of future generations of monarchs:

The wine pond dug by Xia Wei was so big that it could sail and destroy the country.

The king of Shang was even better, and he directly drank in the meat forest and lost the country.

Nan Chen's queen: Chen Shubao "gets drunk all day long, and rarely wakes up" and drinks a stone with his children every day. Subjugation.

Yuan Taizong was very addicted to alcohol, especially in his later years, and he drank with his ministers every day; Drink until you die.

Liaojingzong Yelu Jing, known as the 'sleeping king', and the reason for his great ability to sleep is that he is drunk, and the historical records record that "feasting and drinking", "day and night drinking" was finally killed by his servants in drunkenness.

There is nothing to say, nothing to say.

Good men follow one after another, and wine is really men's blood!

The red alcohol that flowed through the man's veins was ......

Liang Xiaoyu used the traditional wine-making method of the Han Dynasty, the grain was steamed and cooled, and then sealed in a large vat to ferment slowly, this fermented wine is only more than ten degrees, and contains a large amount of grain residues, must be filtered layer by layer before drinking, but the wine is still turbid, and there is a bitter taste.

Xiao Yi asked the two of them to put the first cauldron on the stove, pour the pot full of Liang Xiaoyu's fermented wine, and then seal the mouth of the pot layer by layer with several layers of cloth; The pot is covered with a large wooden barrel, the pot is completely set inside, the barrel must be tightly sealed, the place where the barrel mouth and the pot mouth are spliced is sealed with yellow mud, and a small opening is opened in the upper part of the barrel, and the bamboo pipe should be just stretched into it, and the gap is also sealed with yellow mud, and another large pot is placed under the other end of the bamboo pipe

Everything is ready, Xiao Yat ordered, light the fire!

A blue flame, with everyone's ardent expectations, soon burned brightly; The liquor in the pot boiled quickly under the high fire, making a "goo, goo" sound; Everyone looked at the magical everything in front of them nervously, although they didn't know why, they were smart and didn't ask anything, because Xiao Yi had given them too many miracles......

Because the volatilization rate of alcohol is much faster than that of water, a large amount of high-temperature wine gas is filtered through the layers of cloth, rising to the wooden barrel, and then gushing out along the bamboo pipe, the bamboo pipe is very long, and the wine gas turns into liquid wine again after being cold, and slowly dripped into the second cauldron; As a clear and shiny liquid flowed down, the strong aroma of wine began to permeate the entire courtyard; This simple physical reaction is understood even by ordinary primary school students in modern times, but it can be ...... in the Eastern Han Dynasty

Liang Xiaoyu's eyes widened wider than eggs, as if he wanted to swallow the cauldron in one gulp.

Da Niu and Ma Liu opened their mouths wide, and their tongues slowly spit out, one inch, two inches, three inches、......

The blacksmith and the cobbler didn't say anything, but the eyes that looked at Xiao Yi were the same as the 'Tiangong General' who claimed to be able to call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers.

Seeing that the flowing wine gradually faded, Xiao Yirang extinguished the stove fire, and after cooling it slightly, he picked up a scoop for selling wine and scooped half a scoop, and took a small sip gently, the taste was good, refreshing and sweet, and I felt that this distilled liquor was about 35 degrees, which was definitely a high degree of spirit in the Eastern Han Dynasty; "This is a pure natural and pollution-free pure grain wine! Although there are grain wines in the 21st century, those grown with a lot of chemical fertilizers and pesticides are more accurate ******** than grains......

Before Xiao Yi could finish sighing about the bad blending liquor of those profiteers in his previous life, and he was also addicted to alcohol on the side, the ox blacksmith who had been eyeing him for a long time snatched the water scoop, scooped a full scoop, and poured a big sip violently, the strong smell of wine quickly filled his mouth and nasal cavity, and he felt a line of fire burning directly down his throat to his stomach, and in an instant, the stomach was like a fire, dispelling the chill brought by winter......

"Good wine! This is the wine that a man should drink, and all that Lao Tzu used to drink was water! With that, the blacksmith carefully handed the ladle in his hand to the cobbler, for fear of spilling a drop......

Da Niu and Ma Liu didn't dare to grab with the cobbler, so they quickly pounced on the other two scoops, and the action was a beat slower, and Liang Xiaoyu, who had no scoops to grab, stared at a pair of red eyes and pounced directly to the iron pot, and simply picked up the wine with both hands and poured it into his mouth; It's like a mad dog that has been hungry for a few days and finds a big piece of fat beef......

Everyone's reaction after drinking alcohol is different, it can be said that a hundred people may have a hundred different reactions after drinking;

There are those who cry, there are those who laugh, and there are even those who run naked......

Xiao Yi finished drinking, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat,...... "Little meaning, drizzle!" Brother has drunk 60-degree grassland liquor. ”

When the blacksmith had finished drinking, he raised his head to the sky and howled, and his voice traveled for miles, venting the agitation in his chest;

When the cobbler had finished drinking, he bowed his head and was silent, silently contemplating;

After Da Niu and Ma Liu finished drinking, their little faces burned red, their sideburns were hot and sweaty, and a trace of heat began to emerge from the top of their heads......

And Liang Xiaoyu knelt on the ground and hugged the cauldron of wine, crying with tears, as if he wanted to cry out all the misfortunes of so many years, and slammed his head against the edge of the iron pot while crying; The sad, I don't know, I still think that the 'Liang Million' who is far away in Jixian County has ascended to heaven......

Xiao Yi, who was afraid of knocking the iron pot into the leak, hurriedly pulled up Liang Xiaoyu, who was still lying on the ground and crying; He looked at the other four people and said only two words: "Confidential!" ”

The rest of the crowd began to calm down, looking at each other and nodding viciously;

Looking at the crystal clear liquor in the iron pot, a pot of fermented liquor can distill about one-third of the high-grade liquor, but the price that can be sold is definitely ten times or even dozens of times that of the former; Thousands of gold are easy to get, but good wine is hard to find; How many dignitaries and dignitaries have spent a lot of money in order to ask for a jar of good wine; In the eyes of everyone, this is no longer wine, but a bright road paved with gold, and those who cut off people's wealth are like murdering parents!

Good wine has been steamed, and it must be named after it!

Brainstorming, everyone began to turn their brains, even the leatherman who usually doesn't care about anything but revenge is ready to move this time, men, in their bones are always obsessed with the liquid of alcohol, this obsession, can cover hatred, and sometimes even love......

Niu Blacksmith proposed to call it 'Crouching Tiger Wine', because it was a wine from the Crouching Tiger Pavilion, and the name was also domineering, which was more in line with the tyrannical nature of this wine;

The cobbler thought it was more appropriate to call it 'blood liquor'......

Liang Xiaoyu insisted that the Liang family wine was in line with the origin of this wine......

A bunch of people are arguing endlessly!

In the end, Xiao Yi, who had not spoken, made a final conclusion and a shameless decision, the name of this wine is —————— Wusao Wine!
