Wei Renshi solved the problem of sealing, and immediately took the drawings to the craftsman to build.

Because Wei Renshi paid a lot of money, the craftsmen put aside the rest of the work first. It only took four days to make things according to Wei Renshi's pattern.

Wei Renshi pulled the things to Sun Laohan's wine shop, and prepared to borrow Sun Laohan's materials to try the effect first.

As the saying goes, raw incense depends on fermentation, Titian relies on distillation, and the lees have been fermented by Sun Laohan in the past few days.

Wei Renshi didn't rush to steam the distiller's lees as soon as he went up, but first got some water and tried it, and looked at the effect of the distilled water.

The distillation effect is very good, the still and condenser, as well as the arrangement of the metal tubing are very reasonable.

The principle of distilled liquor is not complicated, that is, the fermented liquor raw materials are distilled once or more times to extract a high-alcohol liquor.

Since the temperature required for the vaporization of alcohol into steam is lower than the temperature required for water vaporization into water vapor, the temperature is kept at the temperature of alcohol vaporization through heating, so that the alcohol components in the brewing raw materials are vaporized, and then the alcohol vapor rises before the water vapor appears, enters the conduit for condensation, and then liquefies again after condensation, and flows into the condenser along the conduit.

If you want to extract distilled spirits with a higher alcohol content, you can reheat the condenser as a distillation bin directly after collection, and condense it through the conduit into another condenser, so that it can be distilled multiple times in a row, and finally even alcohol with a high alcohol content can be obtained.

Unfortunately, there is no thermometer to keep the temperature of the alcohol heated below to the temperature at which the alcohol vaporizes in an intuitive way.

It is necessary to have a special person to control the firewood to regulate the temperature so that it can be roughly maintained around the temperature line of the alcohol vaporization. If it is too high, when the temperature of water vaporization is reached, the content of water in the wine will be more, and the taste will be bland and not fragrant.

The fermented lees are spread out in the still, and a fire is lit in the stove underneath, and as the temperature rises, the lees begin to heat up and rise.

"This fire must be optimistic, it can't be too big, it can't be too small, if it's too big, it will come out of the water, and if it's too small, it won't steam." Wei Renshi explained to Sun Youqing's younger brother, Sun Laohan's second son.

Sun Laohan's second son nodded and said, "Don't worry, Shaolangjun." ”

"Shaolangjun, it's not the old and the young who rely on the old and sell the old here, the old and the young have learned to make wine since they were young, and they have been brewing wine at home for a lifetime. I've seen steamed vegetables, I've seen steamed buns, but I've never seen such steamed sake lees! Shaolangjun, this is the old boy who has taken out the ability to take care of the house and fermented good wine, but you don't need it, just the sake lees! I dare to say that I am more careful than usual fermentation, so steamed, but all of it is wasted! Sun Laohan on the side watched Wei Renshi put the lees into the stills and steamed them with a painful face, and said with a faint expression in his mouth.

Wei Renshi turned his head and smiled, and he didn't refute, but said to Sun Laohan: "Sun Aweng, you'll know later." ”

After a while, Wei Renshi probably thought that the wine head should have come out, so he asked Sun Youqing to take out a jar and put it under the tube that stretched out next to the condenser, and then carefully and slowly pulled out the plug in front of the tube, and immediately, a small stream of clear liquid slowly flowed out along the thin tube and flowed into the wine jar.

In an instant, a rich aroma of wine immediately diffused throughout the workshop.

Sun Laohan was dumbfounded, Sun Youqing and his brother kept snorting hard, as if they wanted to suck the air in the entire workshop into their stomachs.

The eyes of the three of them stared at the small trickle of water at the exit of the catheter, and the eyes were like a wolf who had been hungry for half a moon and suddenly found a fat sheep.

Wei Renshi smiled secretly, this wine head at the beginning smelled very fragrant, but in fact, it couldn't be drunk.

It is necessary to wait for the alcohol vapor to cool down again in the condenser before it comes out.

The distillation over there was still going on, and here Wei Renshi changed the jar and began to pick up the real distilled spirits. Connected half of the jar and re-plugged the catheter mouth.

"Brother Youqing, bring the bowl!" Wei Renshi hugged the jar and shouted behind him.

Sun Youqing's eyes lit up, this is to let them taste! So he immediately shouted excitedly: "Hey! I'll go get it! ”

shouted, turned around and rushed out, and soon ran back with a stack of white porcelain bowls, and put the bowls on the table in front of Wei Renshi.

Wei Renshi opened the wine jar, and then poured a bowl in the white porcelain bowl in front of him, and picked it up and tasted it himself.

Wow, it's rushing! That's the smell!

Putting down the bowl, Wei Renshi smiled and put the bowl in front of Sun Laohan first.

"This ...... This is water?! Sun Laohan looked at the clear and translucent liquid in the white porcelain bowl with some distraction: "No, no, no, why does the water have such a strong aroma of wine?" But how can the wine be so translucent? ”

"Sun Aweng, try it." Wei Renshi picked up the bowl of wine and handed it to Sun Laohan.

Sun Laohan stretched out his hands tremblingly and took the bowl, looking at the clear liquid in the bowl fixedly.

On the side, Sun Youqing and his brother looked at the old man Sun with greedy eyes, their eyes were full of expectation and hope, and they always hoped that they could be the first to taste it.

Sun Laohan lowered his head and sniffed it shallowly, then took a long breath, and suddenly his face was a little flushed.

"Fragrant, so fragrant! It's more fragrant than anything I've ever seen! Sun Laohan slowly exhaled a breath, sighed, and then leaned over again, opening his mouth to take a mouthful.

In an instant, Sun Laohan's face suddenly turned red, his eyes widened suddenly, he quickly put down the bowl, and took a few breaths to calm down: "This is really wine!" …… Violent! It's so strong! Enough taste! That's enough! ”

Wei Renshi laughed, nodded with satisfaction, and then nodded at Sun Youqing and the others. Sun Youqing and his brother had been scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry for a long time, but when they got Wei Renshi's signal, they immediately went over and grabbed a bowl, and Kuang raised his head and poured it in a few bites.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Both of them were spicy and kept coughing.

"Shao, Shaolang-kun! …… This wine ...... Good! All right! Wine! Sun Youqing didn't have many adjectives, so he knew that he was coughing and applauding: "It's too strong!" It's much stronger than the Sanle pulp I've drunk! It looks like water, but when I drink it, it's like a mouthful of fire going down my mouth into my stomach, and my internal organs are hot! Shaolangjun is really a god! ”

Wei Renshi smiled, looked at the old man Sun again, and asked: "Sun Aweng, you have been brewing wine for a lifetime, you can talk about it, not to mention the other flavors that are blended with this wine, just this bowl of wine, if it is put on the market, can it be sold at a good price?" ”

"Yes! Yes! Sun Laohan nodded again and again, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Shaolangjun is ingenious, and the old child is convinced!" I'm afraid that this wine will be taken to Luoyang and Chang'an, and there will be no wine next to it that can compare! ”

Wei Renshi looked at him with a smile and said, "Sun Aweng, a few days ago, I said that there was a shortage of a master who knew how to drink to take charge of the wine workshop. That still counts. ”

Sun Laohan was stunned for a moment, nodded his head vigorously, and said loudly: "Thank you Shaolangjun for your support!" Thank you Shaolang-kun! The old child must do his best! Thank you Shaolang-kun! ”

"If Sun Aweng has time these days, he will go back to Changgu to have a look. I'm going to build a big winery. Wei Renshi looked at the wine in the bowl and smiled.
