Everything went smoothly.

Three times the money bought a full 500 stone of glutinous rice distiller's lees, which was enough for Li Xiao to steam a lot of soju. Mr. Zhao also entered Chang'an City several times and went around to buy the medicinal materials on Li Xiao's list.

After steaming out the first batch of wine, Li Xiao drilled a batch of medicinal herbs concocted by Mr. Zhao into the space.

Using the special effect of magical time acceleration in the space, he soaked bottle after bottle of medicinal wine, such as the Ten Great Tonic Medicinal Wine, the Longevity Medicinal Wine, the Tranquilizing Medicinal Wine, the Bone-Bruising Medicinal Wine, and the Jinchuang Medicinal Wine······

Generally, medicinal liquor is mainly soaked, and is divided into cold soaking, hot soaking, etc., and a small amount of medicinal wine is brewed by steaming.

Li Xiaoxuan's several medicinal liquors are cold soaked, and they are all cold soaked in soju, these medicinal wines must be soaked for at least a month, and the longer the soaking time, the better the effect.

A month is too long, Li Xiao put the medicinal wine in the space to soak, hoping to shorten the time, so that Cheng Yanjin and the others can drink the medicinal wine as soon as possible and taste the effect as soon as possible.

The brewery has started steaming sake every day, and there are ready-made fresh glutinous rice lees, which greatly saves the process of steaming sake and saves a lot of time.

The distillation of the lees by secondary fermentation and distillation is on the line, although steaming wine sounds mysterious, but the real operation is nothing, just a large stove, and then one or two pots, a wooden Zhen, and two clay jars.

When steaming, sit in the pot with water, then put Mu Zhen with sake lees inside, and then put a clean pot on the top of Mu Zhen, and sit on the pot with cold water.

The fire is burned in the stove, and the water in the pot below is boiled, so that the sake lees can be steamed, and the wine vapor evaporates in the sake lees, and the wine vapor rises and encounters the pot above, because the pot above sits with cold water, so it condenses, drops into the cylinder below, and then flows into the cylinder outside Zhen through the diversion pipe.

In fact, the use of different volatilities of liquor and water vapor is used to distill and separate liquor.

"The first wine that came out was Guotou wine, which had a heavy gas, many impurities, impure taste, and was particularly strong, so we had to pay attention to collecting the first pot wine separately."

Wan Niang was wrapped in a scarf on her head and a cloth skirt around her body, she didn't worry about the wine shop, she personally sat in the steam room, and personally checked every checkpoint.

With such a quality director, Li Xiao is much more relaxed. He is also willing to teach many key technical points to Wan Niang, so that she is responsible for the on-site and instructs the servants of each process, and can also prevent the leakage of technology, so that each servant will only operate one of their own processes, and knows it but does not know why.

In order to prevent leakage, Wan Niang even strictly forbade the servants in the steam room to communicate with each other.

"Can't you drink that wine?"

"Of course I can drink it, but the quality is almost good, this wine is strong, that is, the original burning knife I made. I'm going to use this pot head now to make bruises and Jinchuang medicinal wine. "The high degree of pot wine is naturally better used as a medicinal wine for external use.

The difference between the bruising and Jinchuang medicinal liquor and other medicinal liquors is that it is not taken internally but externally. The pot head of more than 70 degrees is comparable to medical alcohol, and disinfection and debridement are absolutely easy to use.

"Pay attention to distinguish the head of the pot, the wine that comes out of the steamer is lighter and lighter the more it goes, not so strong, then it is the second pot head, the wine of the second pot head is mellow, and the medicinal wine used for internal use is the best, and the taste is good."

"The last wine is the tail, these wines are the lightest, and there are many impurities, which are the worst wines, and we can use them to blend them in the pot, or directly make some cheaper medicinal wines."

Several kinds of wine with different taste and quality are steamed out from a pot of sake lees, which naturally have to be separated, otherwise it will be too wasteful. Wan Niang carefully wrote them down one by one, "San Lang, don't worry, I have written it all down." ”

"Actually, this matter can also be handed over to other people, such as the pillars and the two dogs, they are all members of our family, you can rest assured."

Wan Niang smiled, "This is a secret recipe that can be passed on to future generations, how can it be easily handed over to others." Don't worry, husband, I'm not hard. ”

Every few days, Li Xiao sent another batch of new medicinal wine into the space, and now the space is used as both a storage room and an accelerator.

Seeing that the medicinal wine is increasing day by day, he is also in a very good mood.

On this day, Li Xiao felt that the first batch of medicinal wine had been completed, so he immediately picked up the wine and went to Chang'an.

The first one, naturally, went to Xue Rengui's house first.

Although Xue Rengui's official title is not as good as Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji, it is said that the Xue family has helped Li Xiao the earliest and the greatest, and he can't forget his roots.

Xue Rengui happened to be at home, and he has now been officially appointed as the deputy general of the Eastern Expedition, but although the imperial court has decided to send troops to Liaodong, it is not right away.

Sending troops to Liaodong is so far away and a war of great scale, and there is a lot of preparatory work.

The Ministry of War must issue conscription and mobilization, the Twelve Guards must select generals, and the Ministry of Household and other departments must cooperate in preparing grain and grass.

The exact date of the dispatch will not be until the early summer of next year.

However, although the troops have not yet been dispatched, Xue Rengui is also very busy, the camp of the Eastern Expedition has been set up first, and the soldiers have not yet been conscripted, but the generals have been selected, these generals have gathered, and they have begun to study the route and strategy of the march first, etc., and they have to contact various departments for food, grass and weapons.

Every day, I am busy with my feet on the ground, and I am more tired than I usually guard the Xuanwu Gate.

"San Lang is here!"

Xue Wu brought Li Xiao in, and Xue Rengui smiled and nodded.

"San Lang visited Xue Gong, the medicinal wine promised Xue Gong last time is finally brewed, and it was specially sent today for Xue Gong to taste."

Li Xiao took out the medicinal wine and put it in a gourd, which was very simple, this was a trial pack, and when it was officially launched in the future, he decided to order some porcelain bottles.

After all, it is a medicinal wine, if you want to sell it at a high price, especially if you want to position yourself in the high-end market, you must have a good packaging.

"What kind of medicinal wine is this, and what kind of effect does it have?"

"I heard the fifth brother say that Xue Gong has rheumatism, and every time the sky changes, his joints hurt and he is very uncomfortable. Therefore, this time I specially selected a very effective medicinal wine for smelting rheumatism, this wine is called Chasing Wind Medicinal Wine, the main ingredient is more than ten kinds of medicinal materials such as black snake, turtle, leech, angelica, notoginseng, etc., and also uses more than ten kinds of auxiliary materials such as cinnamon branches and whole scorpions, and is soaked in two catties of soju. ”

"This wine is taken three times a day, one small glass at a time."

"And snakes in there?" Xue Rengui was a little surprised.

"Well, doctors treat rheumatism at home, and they also use poisonous snakes as a prescription, if rheumatism suffers for a long time, the more poisonous snakes are needed, such as python wine, five snake wine, three snake wine, etc., these snake wines are all extremely poisonous snakes, which have special effects on the treatment of rheumatism."

"Pour it out and see." Xue Rengui does suffer from rheumatism and often suffers from joint pain, which is also a very fatal disease for a general. I usually see a doctor, and I take a lot of medicine but it doesn't work very well.

Xue Wu took a glass bottle, which was still given by Emperor Taizong, and it was crystal clear.

A bottle of more than two catties of wind-chasing medicinal wine was poured into the glass bottle, and a black sheath snake could be seen immediately.

"The miracle doctor Sun Silian also said that if you take two or three doses of medicine and wine in winter, this method will be constant for life, and you will not be sick. Winter is the best season to drink medicinal liquor. ”

"Oh, I've heard of the name of Divine Doctor Sun, but the Divine Doctor has always seen the head and the tail of the dragon." Xue Rengui also wanted to find Sun Silian to cure his rheumatism, but he couldn't see anyone.

The black sheath snake soaked in the glass bottle of medicinal wine looked quite terrifying, but Xue Rengui looked at it with relish, just a snake, what was so terrible.

"If eating poisonous snakes can cure rheumatism, this is not a problem, I can get any poisonous snake that San Lang wants, I can get and eat."

Li Xiao said with a smile, "If you eat poisonous snakes directly, you don't have this medicinal effect, my medicinal wine is actually in strict accordance with the prescription can be matched and quantified, this medicinal wine not only uses excellent prescriptions, but also works more effectively than ordinary prescriptions, because the wine is soaked in medicine, the wine itself has the effect of blood activation, easy to attract and diverge, so the medicine and wine are dissolved as a whole, the efficacy is stable, and the medicine is fully effective by the power of wine and the potential of the wine to help the medicine, and improve the efficacy." ”

"So, although medicinal wine is also medicine, it is more effective than medicine?" Xue Rengui stroked his beard with a smile, "Then I'm really going to give it a try, bring a cup, and I'll drink it now." ”

Li Xiao poured a small cup for Xue Rengui.

"Xue Gong, wine, the beauty of the sky. Drinking less will be with the blood, strengthen the spirit to keep out the cold, dispel sorrow and rejuvenation, and drink painfully will hurt the mind and consume blood, produce phlegm and start fire, this thing will be both profit and loss, and the same is true for medicine and wine. Therefore, although the medicinal wine is good, it must be drunk in moderation, Xue Gong drinks this wind-chasing wine, remember to drink only three times a day, and can only drink such a small cup each time, not excessive. ”

"Another point, this wine must not be drunk by a pregnant woman, nor can it be drunk, otherwise it will cause a miscarriage and abortion."

Xue Rengui nodded.

He picked up the small cup and took a sip from his lips.

"Well, this wine doesn't have the spicy choking of soju, and it doesn't have the bitter taste of decoction, so it's surprisingly good to drink."

Li Xiao smiled, this chasing wind wine not only uses the best glutinous rice lees, but also uses the water from the space spirit spring, and the medicine used for both is the best medicine, and honey is added to the medicine, and the wine is still the best second pot head, so the medicinal wine brewed in this way naturally tastes good.

"It turns out that although the burning knife is refreshing, I don't dare to drink more, but this wine tastes good."

"Xue Gong, this is medicinal wine, it's medicine, you can't drink more."

"Hahaha, if you don't emphasize it, it really makes people almost forget that this wine tastes so good, dare to say that it is better than most famous wines on the market today, San Lang, you are really a genius in winemaking."

At this time, Li Xiao took out two jars of wine, each jar was five catties, but this was a two-pot head wine without brewing medicine. After being stored in the kiln in the space for a period of time, the wine is more mellow.

"If Xue Gongruo usually likes to drink two cups, he can drink this. This wine is not soaked in medicinal herbs, but you can drink a little more, as long as you don't get drunk in a greedy cup. ”

"Hahaha, it's still thoughtful." Xue Rengui accepted it unceremoniously and happily. "Lu Guogong and the British Duke have you promised to soak the medicinal wine, soak it and send it quickly, the old general in the barracks today still told me that your kid has not heard from me."
