Zhen Qian was speechless for a while, there was only one person in the entire courtyard who could talk to him like this, and that was Ju Niang, who had bullied him since he was a child, but he saw Ju Niang appear in front of Zhen Gan in a flash, stretched out his hand and patted Zhen Gan on the shoulder and said: "If there are good things, don't you call me, do you want to compete with me!" ”

can't be provoked, can't hide, can't hide, that's the kind of person like Ju Niang.

There's no way, who let the former Zhen Qian get used to being bullied by her? Even the current Zhen Qian has an instinct to escape from Ju Niang's eyes.

"Huh!" Zhen Qian laughed dryly, held a bowl of wine and said: "Ju Niang is a heroic heroine, a husband, this bowl of wine is for you!" ”

"Hmmm! Even if you have a conscience, after you got sick, I didn't help you pray to God and worship Buddha, my legs have been thin in the past month, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, I heard that you were making strange things here,...... This wine is so fragrant! Ju Niang said with a big grin.

After Zhen Qian fell ill, Wang Po and Ju Niang went to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, whether the spirit was good or not, anyway, Ju Niang thought that it was her own credit, and this gratitude was still there.

Ju Niang is free and easy by nature, and she is much older than Zhen Qian, but she has always regarded herself as the eldest sister in front of Zhen Qian, and she said that she was a stupid goose in front of Xiaozhu and Xiaomei.

This evil breath, uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it!

The ancients drank wine with a bowl and drank it in one sip, just because the alcohol content in ancient times was too low, and this feeling was similar to that of later generations and beer.

Ju Niang took the bowl and drank it in one gulp without even thinking about it, "Good wine...... It's so spicy! After saying that, the red tide surged up at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said in surprise: "What kind of wine is this, how can you be a little dizzy......!" Before he could finish speaking, his body began to shake, pointing at Zhen Qian with his finger, and the last words in his mouth never came out, and the whole person went limp.

Zhen Qian kept Ju Niang, smiled at Wang Qun and the others, and said, "Drink too much!" ”

Wang Qun and the others knew the amount of wine that Ju Niang drank, although it was not as good as that of an alcoholic, one or two catties was not a problem, but now they were drunk after only one bowl, and they couldn't help but be strange, "Da Lang, what kind of wine are you drinking for Ju Niang!" ”

Zhen Qian helped Ju Niang to the side and sat down, and filled a bowl of wine from the wooden barrel and said: "This is my newly brewed wine, it has great stamina, the entrance is like a fire burning the throat, you can only taste it slowly, you must not drink it in one sip, you taste this wine first!" ”

Wang Qunhu glanced at Zhen Qian suspiciously, and then looked at the unconscious Ju Niang, who was already drunk, and the curiosity in his eyes became even stronger, "In the past few days, Da Lang is hiding here to brew this?" ”

"yes!"

Wang Qun and the others looked at the clear and transparent wine in the bowl, and a strong aroma of wine rushed to their minds, counting them as people who had been on the scene, although it was impossible to drink all kinds of good wine every day, they also had the opportunity to taste it, but today's wine had never been seen.

"What is the name and name of this wine?"

"The common name of this wine is called burning knives, but the official name has not been thought of, because this wine has great stamina, the entrance is like a fire, and it is hot and dry after drinking, ordinary people can only drink three or four taels, and after drinking too much, they will be soft and weak, so this wine can not drink more!"

"I see!" Wang Qun and the others still didn't believe it in their hearts, if it was just like Zhen Qian said, wouldn't this wine be like a fire, would there be such a wine?

Several people took a sip suspiciously, and immediately their faces changed greatly, and Wang Sheng, who had a slightly worse amount of alcohol, couldn't help but squirt out, "Sure enough, it's a strong wine!" ”

"This wine is indeed different, but this wine is too strong for ordinary people to drink at all, what does Da Lang do when he makes this wine?"

Although he felt that the wine made by Zhen Qian was indeed different, Wang Qun still frowned, this kind of wine could not be drunk at all, at least not often, and naturally he didn't understand what Zhen Qian's purpose was.

"Don't worry, it's just the first song, and when the second and third songs come out, the wine won't be as strong as it was at the beginning!"

Zhen Qian has tasted it, Touqu wine is the strongest, about sixty or seventy degrees or more, this may be estimated according to his previous feeling of drinking, although I don't know how much the difference is, but it doesn't matter, anyway, no one asks him to mark the alcohol content now. The second and third curves will gradually decrease in degrees, between 30 and 50 degrees, and by the time the fourth song is basically dull.

I still don't know what the Tang Dynasty people said about this kind of soju, Wang Qun was treated as a guinea pig by Zhen Qian, and he didn't feel happy about it!

With the help of Wang Qun, Zhen Qian successfully made the second and third songs, and let a few people taste them, "This wine is good, the stamina is much smaller, and the entrance is soft and long, without the turbid......ity we usually drink."

Zhen Qian found that the Tang people like to drink Sanqu, which may be related to the habit of drinking for a long time, and he feels good about Erqu, the taste is also good, and he can't measure the ancients according to the habits of later generations.

After a few more experiments, Zhen Qian roughly determined the processing process of liquor and the taste of the Tang people, as for the head song, Zhen Qian felt that it should not be so simple, although it can be processed again to obtain higher degree alcohol, and it can also be re-distilled and blended with two and three songs to make new liquor with different flavors, but there is no time now, and these wines are still waiting to earn the first pot of gold for themselves.

"Uncle Wang, how much do you think this wine can be sold for?" Zhen Qian said with some expectations for the wine he brewed.

Wang Qun blinked his lips, and said unsatisfied: "Ordinary brewed wine, a bucket is only about 30 to 50 wen, and the wine brewed by Da Lang can be sold for 100 wen a bucket!" ”

"What? It's only a hundred dollars and a bucket! Zhen Qian couldn't believe his ears, it wasn't too high, but the price made him unacceptable, only one hundred wen a bucket, ordinary turbid wine drinking two buckets may not be fine, and his own wine drinking half a bucket will definitely blush and have a thick neck, and people with a lower amount of alcohol will immediately get drunk, so they only sell one hundred wen a bucket, and they still make a fart money!

Zhen Qian cautiously tentatively said: "What if you sell two hundred wen a bucket?" ”

"It's hard to say, although this wine is good, but it is very different from the taste we often drink, and the price is too high to sell!"

Zhen Qian knew that what Wang Qun said was the truth, there was indeed too much difference between soju and the turbid wine of the Tang Dynasty, and the key was the habit of drinking in this era, which could be described in one word: booze! This habit is somewhat incompatible with the sake you brew, just like a Chinese ink painting next to a Western painting, which is completely different artistic conceptions.

A basin of cold water extinguished Zhen Gan's plan to make a fortune, making Zhen Qian a little speechless, and he was still a little whimsical about opening and closing the door.

Wang Peng saw that Zhen Qian's mood was a little low and said: "If you only rely on the wine brewed by Da Lang, whether it is the clarity of this wine or the purity of this wine, it is not expensive to sell for 300 wen a bucket, but Da Lang's wine is too strong, I am afraid that ordinary people are not used to drinking it for a while, if the degree of this wine is lower, it can also be sold for 200 wen a bucket!" ”

"Wait a minute!" A glint flashed in Zhen Qian's eyes, and he immediately grasped the key point in Wang Peng's words and said, "You mean that if the degree of this wine is lower, it can be sold for two hundred wen and one bucket, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhen Qian slapped his forehead and said, "That's not easy!" ”

If you talk about the taste of wine, Zhen Qian is really not easy to change all of a sudden, but when it comes to the degree of wine, it is completely different, there are too many ways to reduce the degree of wine, the easiest way is to add water to mix, but this method is not very good, there is a smell of clear water when drinking, and the old drunkard is easy to find that it is very unfavorable for his future brand, but this is not a problem for Zhen Qian at all.

Thinking of this, Zhen Qian immediately poured the already brewed Erqu into the koji again, and continued to distill and purify it while reducing the degree of the liquor, and soon the new liquor that had been rebrewed was placed in front of Wang Qun and several people.

"How about tasting this wine again", Zhen Qian said with some expectation.

"Yes, the degree of this wine is lower than the previous three times, and it is about to get close to the burning spring of Bashu!" Wang Qun took a sip and said.

Zhen Qian said nervously: "I don't know how much is a bucket of Bashu's burning spring?" ”

"Bashu's burning spring is also divided into grades, the worst grade can be sold for one hundred and fifty wen a bucket, if it is the best burning spring, I heard that it will cost thousands of wen a bucket, but I don't have the opportunity to taste what it tastes like!" Wang Qun said with some obsession in his eyes.

Zhen Qian heard of Bashu burning spring in later generations, and there was a poem that praised: "The depth is the most suitable for fragrant butterflies, and the time of picking is also afraid of flame burning spring", but unfortunately later generations no longer know the process of Bashu burning spring, and I don't know if I can be lucky enough to taste the taste of burning spring.

"Try the wine brewed this time again", not long after Zhen Qian re-blended the three songs and brewed them again, this time the taste of the wine was obviously much lighter, but the wine lacked a lot of hot taste, and it also lacked the softness and mellowness of cellaring, and it felt like he was brewing inferior fake wine.

"Hmm!" Wang Qun tasted it, and said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "Although the taste of this wine is much lighter, it is a pity that it has a little less charm than the previous times, and it feels much worse?" ”

Zhen Qian knew that this would be the result, and he was not in a hurry, blending Erqu with the newly brewed wine, this comparison is a bit difficult to grasp, but now is not the time to care, and the real wine needs to be cellared before it will be soft and mellow and long.

But now I can't take care of a lot, if I wait for a few years to take it out, I'm afraid that before I can drink the wine, An Lushan will hit the door.

"The taste is much better now, although it is not as good as some famous wines, but it is much stronger than most wines, and this wine is crystal clear, and it looks very good, but I don't know how much the brewing cost is, whether it will lose money!"

Zhen Qian calculated, normally, once the sake lees can produce eight buckets of turbid wine, his own brewing process can produce about six buckets of wine, and the price has increased by four or five times, which is very cost-effective.

"Uncle Wang, pick a few young people in the yard who are diligent in their hands and feet, both men and women, follow me to learn the craft of winemaking in the past few days, store more wine at home, and wait for the opening of the drunken fairy building, we will have a wine tasting meeting, and then all the dishes and drinks in the restaurant will be discounted!"
