Chapter 21: Winemaking

All the way to Cheng's mansion non-stop, the bumps along the way Chu Ze only felt as if he had fallen apart, and it took a while to slow down, and Cheng Chuliang had nothing to do, without him, he was used to it! Chu Ze thought a lot on the way here, since he decided to make wine, then the profits from the wine had to be talked about with the Great Demon King Cheng, and he couldn't do it in vain.

The Great Demon King Cheng in the courtyard also saw Chu Ze's embarrassed appearance at this time: "The baby is a good baby, but the body is too weak!" ”

"See Uncle Cheng."

Chu Ze stepped forward and saluted and said, thinking in his heart how to negotiate conditions with the Great Demon King Cheng.

"You kid, but what do you have to say? Babbling like a, if you have anything to say, hurry up! Great Demon King Cheng said impatiently.

"That kid can say, after brewing wine, what does Uncle Cheng plan to do with this profit?"

"Profit? If this wine is really like what you say, it will give you 30% of the profit when the time comes! ”

"Sancheng?" Chu Ze naturally knew the profits of the distillery in later generations, and Sancheng would definitely not agree.

Cheng Da Demon King's big-eyed tiger body was shocked, and his big eyes stared, "What's the matter, it's too little?" ”

"Hehe", Chu Ze smiled again and didn't speak! Thirty percent of the profit, he can't agree to it, it's a big deal, everyone don't play!

"And how much do you want?"

Chu Ze stretched out his finger and compared.

"What seventy percent? How dare you? You kid doesn't know how powerful my Cheng family is, right? ”

"Huh.

…….

Finally, after some bargaining, the profits accounted for fifty percent, the Cheng family produced raw materials, Chu Ze produced technology, and the Cheng family was responsible for the operation of the wine after it was brewed, and it was divided at the end of each year.

After the conditions were negotiated, Chu Ze looked at the Great Demon King Cheng happily and said, "Uncle Cheng, after I make the wine, you will know how powerful this wine is!" ”

"Hehe, I can't brew it then, I'll let you know how good I am first!"

Ignoring Chu Ze's pride, Cheng Da Demon King went back to the room after speaking, and arranged for Cheng Chuliang and Chu Ze to be responsible for all matters of winemaking.

Chu Ze didn't care about Cheng Da Demon King's warning at all, because he didn't believe that he would not be able to brew wine at all, at this time, Datang's wine was limited by the brewing process, and the general degree was not high, and as far as the most popular and strongest liquor Sanle Pulp was concerned, the degree was only equivalent to the beer of later generations. There is no way, the distillation and brewing method was not invented until the Song and Yuan dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, and what Chu Ze has to do now is to let the distillation and brewing method appear in advance!

Finding a pen and paper, Chu Ze drew a simple distillation equipment, the principle is very simple is to evaporate the alcohol and water of the wine mother, the hot air meets the cold pot lid, and then condenses into water droplets, the water droplets flow to both sides of the pot lid, there is just a ditch on both sides of the pot that can be collected, and then the wine collected by the ditch flows out of a small mouth, and at this time, the degree of wine left in the small mouth is much higher, and it can also be distilled twice.

Let Cheng Chuliang find a blacksmith, Chu Ze explained, and arranged for this blacksmith to go to build according to the drawings, this blacksmith was a soldier under King Cheng before, and after receiving a piece on the battlefield, he was arranged by King Cheng to be a blacksmith in the house, and the craftsmanship is nothing to say, at this time, with Chu Ze's drawings, it is guaranteed to be done soon.

For the first time to make wine, Chu Ze plans to distill the ordinary liquor of Datang at this time, increase the degree, and then make wine with raw materials, step by step, to prevent the big steps from pulling the eggs!

The blacksmith's craftsmanship is very good, when the sun rises again, Chu Ze saw the distillation cauldron, the large steamer is divided into two layers, the top is a concave iron lid, cold water can also be added to the iron lid to accelerate the condensation of water vapor, after the lid is closed, the whole distillation pot is absolutely impermeable, and an iron pipe is inserted next to it, and the pipe is connected to a small porcelain basin......

"Brother Cheng, I don't know how much wine there is in the house at this time?"

Commanding everyone to install the distillation pot, Chu Ze asked Cheng Chuliang next to him, who was like a contractor commanding his subordinates to work.

"I don't know, there should be a lot of them."

"Get all the wine!"

"....., Chu Ze, get them all?"

"Yes, get them all!"

Cheng Chuliang didn't know what Chu Ze was doing with so much wine, but out of trust in Chu Ze, he still ordered the two subordinates to move the wine.

The wine was moved, all kinds of Sanle pulp, fruit wine, rice wine, and poured it into the distillation pot as if they didn't want money, and even the people who poured the wine were distressed!

Cheng Chuliang was scared at the moment, and the wine was poured in, if he couldn't get the wine, his father would not have to smoke himself to death! looked at Chu Ze very unconfidently and asked, "Chu Ze, can you really get the wine you said?" ”

"Don't worry, you can!"

After closing the lid, pour a bucket of cold water into the recess at the top of the lid.

Chu Ze clapped his hands and shouted, "Ignition!" ”

The subordinate on the side was very obedient and lit the fire, the fire was very strong, and while burning, he muttered in his heart, "I've seen a loser, I've never seen such a loser, soju playing?" ”

The fire burned for an hour, Cheng Chuliang was worried for an hour, fidgeting, standing up for a while to see, he was really scared.

After about ten minutes, it finally began to drip wine, when the first drop of wine flowed out, the people in the whole yard couldn't help but sniff, Cheng Chuliang stood up excitedly and ran over to smell it vigorously and shouted excitedly: "It's so fragrant!" ”

The aroma of wine is overflowing, how long has it been a long time since he has smelled this smell, Chu Ze closed his eyes and enjoyed this once extremely familiar smell! Chu Ze dipped a little of his finger and put it in his mouth and tasted it, it was not bad, the degree was about forty degrees, if you wanted to have a higher number, you could continue to distill, but there was no need for distillation for the time being.

"Brother Cheng, come, taste, try it." Chu Ze enthusiastically scooped out a small cup from the porcelain basin and handed it to Cheng Chuliang.

"A small cup is not enjoyable, change to a large cup, what can you taste in this small bite."

Cheng Chuliang looked at the small glass of wine handed over by Chu Ze with disgust, found a big cup by himself, and scooped a large cup from the porcelain basin!

Chu Ze looked at Cheng Chuliang's actions and did not refuse, if he didn't die, he wouldn't die, people always know that they have learned a lesson after they have been hurt, you cheers, I am free!

Raising a glass and drinking it all, the whole person was stunned, even holding his breath, his dark face quickly flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, pursed his lips and was stupid for a long time, Cheng Chuliang let out a long breath, and the breath he exhaled was full of strong wine.

"Good wine! Spicy, fragrant, really strong....."

Cheng Chuliang, who was eating a large glass of wine, only felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning at this moment, "Chu Ze, don't shake, I am dizzy when I shake..."

Chu Ze smiled helplessly, Cheng Chuliang drank this kind of high-count wine for the first time, and that big glass weighed half a catty, and now it must be on top, and arranged for someone to support Cheng Chuliang, who kept shaking, and sent someone to inform Cheng Da Demon King.

As soon as the Great Demon King Cheng entered the courtyard, a strong aroma of wine came to his face, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked over, "Chu boy, but you said that the wine was brewed?" ”

Chu Ze was taking a sip of wine, and when he saw the Great Demon King Cheng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and scooped up a glass and said, "It's brewed, Uncle Cheng taste it?" ”

Cheng Da Demon King smelled the rich aroma, he couldn't help it for a long time, licked his tongue with the wine glass, brewed a sip of the atmosphere, and after drinking, he stuck out his tongue and shouted: "Refreshing, this wine is really fucking strong, fragrant and strong, there is a hot feeling after drinking, happy!" ”

After drinking, the Great Demon King smashed it, smashed it, and said with his lips: "Chu boy, this wine is really good!" ”

Chu Ze smiled proudly: "How is this wine better than those three pulps?" ”

"This wine is fragrant and sweet, and it is hundreds of times stronger than the three pulp" Cheng Da Demon King is indeed worthy of being an old connoisseur of wine tasting, and he said the true meaning of this wine in one sentence.

After a long while, Cheng Chuliang on the side finally relieved himself, shook his head, and muttered unwillingly: "What a great wine, the stamina is so great!" ”

"Hahaha...."
