A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the Eastern and Western Turks have each withdrawn from the territory of the Tang Dynasty and returned to their own homes. During this period, Li Siyuan's family has gained supreme glory!

The first to bear the brunt of this battle is the biggest hero Li Siyuan, after a few months, he was once again added to the rank of knight, from the county marquis to the county duke, Li Shimin seems to feel that such a reward is not enough to reward Li Siyuan for his contributions, and then Li Sisi was crowned as the county monarch, Li Mu was crowned as the county monarch, and Li's father was crowned as the county uncle!

The Li family has suddenly become a hot family in the entire Tang Dynasty, a double family, this is not a glory that any family can take!

In the past month, the Li family can be described as a constant stream of people coming and going! Not only did some relatives who couldn't beat the eight poles come to visit, but even some wealthy nobles who didn't know each other at all also sent gifts to the Li family without face and skin, and some were even willing to send their daughters to Li Siyuan as concubines, their purpose was the same, and they didn't want to have something to do with Li Siyuan, so that he could seek some benefits for himself or his family in front of Li Shimin.

The Li family was very happy at first, feeling that the family was becoming more and more prosperous, and people were very face-saving, but in less than half a month, everyone was tired of this kind of life, and Li Siyuan even closed the door to thank customers, lying that it was inconvenient to see guests on official business, but in fact, he started his own business!

In a month's time, Li Siyuan's iron works and coal mines have been basically completed, and the reason why they can be completed so quickly is entirely due to the advent of * and Li Siyuan's solid preparatory work, otherwise, with the current level of science and technology, even if he invests a lot of manpower and material resources, it is impossible to complete these many things in such a short time!

While busy with his own affairs, Li Siyuan has not forgotten his good buddy Cheng Chuliang, he has long promised him to take him to make a fortune together, and now it is time to fulfill his promise!

As a result, in addition to processing the information from all over the world every day, Li Siyuan also has a tutorial to make wine! He also went from lying that he was busy, to being really busy!

"Brother Yuan, you taste, how is it this time?" Cheng Chuliang has changed his previous name since he tasted the spirits brewed by Li Siyuan himself, and the two of them have become closer!

Looking at the big bowl of freshly baked alcohol in front of him, Li Siyuan said angrily: "I told you, the content of this freshly baked wine is too high to drink, and it still needs to be blended!" You brought me such a big bowl to murder me! ”

Cheng Chuliang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Brother Yuan, you're telling me how to blend up, I've almost forgotten it!" ”

"Okay!" Li Siyuan nodded helplessly: "The alcohol we brew now is not very pure, so you should add more when blending, as for the degree of wine, you can find some masters who can brew green ant wine to help you refer to it, there is no need to do everything yourself!" ”

Speaking of this, he took a sip of tea, looked at Cheng Chuliang and said: "These chores can be handed over to others, but you must strictly control the quality, what kind of grain wine is best mixed with what water, you must keep in mind, don't let the people below fool you!" ”

Cheng Chuliang listened carefully to what Li Siyuan said, and saw that he took out a thin book from his arms, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it: "What is this?" ”

"This is the basic method of sake brewing and some precautions!" Li Siyuan said proudly: "I guessed that you can't remember these things, I sorted them out overnight, if you forget it in the future, you can open it and take a look!" ”

Looking at the moved Cheng Chuliang, Li Siyuan instructed again: "These are just the most basic knowledge, you don't want to do everything according to this, you know, if an enterprise wants to develop in the long run, the most important thing is innovation!" ”

Cheng Chuliang listened very seriously, Li Siyuan looked relieved, and then he gushed out: "Our wine-making method is called ancient distillation, although compared with traditional fermented wine, our wine is better in both color and flavor, but our wine consumes more grain than fermented wine, and now the imperial court is short of food, our wine cannot be produced on a large scale, so as not to blame the imperial court, not only can we not make money, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed!" ”

"How can you make money if you can't produce it on a large scale!?" Cheng Chuliang originally thought that he could make a windfall with this kind of distilled spirit, but he didn't think that Li Siyuan would not let him produce it on a large scale at all, so he was a little unacceptable for a while.

"What's the hurry!" Seeing Cheng Chuliang's depressed face, Li Siyuan said funny: "Who said that you can't make money if you can't produce on a large scale?" At the moment, only we can produce this kind of wine, and we can take the high-end route! For example, we set the first wine of each pot as a special wine, exclusively for the princes and ministers and some rich people, and it must be limited, and some effort is put into the packaging, which can be sold at the price of one or two wines and one or two gold, and the rest of the wine can also be made according to this model, do you think about it, will it not make money? ”

"So expensive? Is it sold? Cheng Chuliang suddenly opened his mouth wide and looked at Li Siyuan in surprise.

"Of course!" Li Siyuan said disdainfully: "Leave the sales matter to me!" Maybe there will be a shortage of supply, so you can wait at home and count the money! ”

"Okay, I'm in charge of production, you're in charge of sales, our brothers are working together, and their strength is broken, hahaha..."

"Don't get complacent too soon!" Li Siyuan struck: "From now on, you have to pay attention to where there is a good water source, whether it is spring water or well water, as long as it is good water, we must try our best to get it, so that even if others learn our winemaking skills, they will not be able to make our taste!" ”

Cheng Chuliang patted his chest and made a guarantee, Li Siyuan said: "Finally, you have to keep in mind that all our wines must be placed in the cellar for a month after brewing before they can be sold, otherwise they will never appear on the market!" ”

"What's so important about that?" Cheng Chuliang asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's a big deal! After a month, the wine will taste more mellow, and the book I gave you also explains that no matter what kind of wine it is, the longer it is left, the more mellow the wine will be. The second point is that the wine brewed by our method will have a small amount of toxins at the beginning, which will affect the health of people after drinking, we do business, not only to protect our own interests will not be lost, but also to protect the health of buyers, so that others will rest assured to drink our wine, and our business can do more long! ”

Cheng Chuliang highly agreed with Li Siyuan's statement, and after the two hit it off, Cheng Chuliang scratched his head and said: "Brother Yuan, you know that my knowledge is not good, and our wine has no name yet, you can give one to me!" ”

Li Siyuan had thought about it in his heart for a long time, but naming it was a glorious thing, so he never mentioned it, but now that Cheng Chuliang mentioned it, he didn't shirk it again: "Our wine is as beautiful as jade, and its fragrance is mellow, so why don't you call it jade alcohol?" ”

"Jade alcohol? Good name! Cheng Chuliang naturally had no opinion: "It's called Yuol!" ”

Seeing that Cheng Chuliang had no opinion, Li Siyuan took the pen and paper on the desk and began to write:

Travel-in-the-travel

Jade mellow wine tulips

The jade bowl brings amber light

But so that the host can get drunk

I don't know where it is
