Early the next morning, Gao Feng woke up, touched his head, which was still a little painful, and said in his heart, the degree of this wine is not high, and the stamina after drinking too much is quite big.

There was only one day of work, and Gao Feng didn't dare to be lazy, so he endured a headache and got up quickly.

The rest of the Gao family was already in place, and they were busy with their own work, Gao Feng opened a list and handed it to Gao Youxian, asked him to go shopping in Shaoji, and arranged for Gao Hai to help him make a few wooden boxes and molds.

After a while, someone sent by Li Qikun brought wine over, and everyone helped unload the car. Sending people away, Gao Feng summoned Hu Bao and Hu Niu and told them not to make candles today, but to distill liquor.

Distilled liquor needs a still, knowing that this thing must be useful, Gao Feng had already asked Gao Hai to make one, and now it comes in handy.

In fact, the distiller existed before the Han Dynasty, when it was mainly used for alchemy, and later it was also used to take flower dew, but because it was used very little, it was not promoted.

The principle of the retort is very simple, the lower is the steamer, the upper is the condenser, the cold water is used as the condensate, the condenser is slotted under the condenser, and the distillate is drawn out with a flow tube. The condenser here is a bit particular, that is, it is necessary to use heat-resistant metal materials to ensure that the heat is exchanged in time.

Set up the pot, pour in the syrup, cover the condenser, and Gao Feng began to let Hu Niu burn the fire.

The fire is very particular, the fire is too big, too small is not suitable, the temperature in the pot is controlled between 70 and 100 degrees, in the absence of a thermometer, can only rely on manual judgment.

Fortunately, Gao Feng had experience, and when he saw the pot boiling, steam coming out, and even liquid flowing from the mouth of the vessel, he began to reduce the fire to avoid overburning. And the steam that comes out at this time is wine steam, not water steam.

With the skills mastered, Gao Feng handed over the matter of steaming wine to the Hu family brothers and sisters, and he only came over occasionally to take a look.

At this time, Gao Youxian came back from buying materials, and Gao Feng was busy doing another thing - making moon cakes.

At this time, moon cakes were not popular in the countryside, even in the capital, they were not called moon cakes, they were called "small cakes" or "moon cakes", so the countryside not only did not see moon cakes, but also never heard of the name. Seeing that Gao Feng was busy, everyone stepped forward to ask, and it took Gao Feng half a day to explain to them clearly.

understood the intention of the peak, and everyone recognized the peak's approach, and the family looked forward to the reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was not bad to have moon cakes to express their thoughts, so Li Wenjuan, Wang Keyjiao and the two old ladies joined the production team.

The production of moon cakes is very simple, that is, to make filling, filling, embossing, baking several steps, the difference between different moon cakes is mainly in the filling and shape.

The mooncakes made by Gao Feng are filled with bean paste and five kernels. Red beans are used for the bean paste filling; The five-kernel filling uses almonds, peach kernels, hemp kernels, peanut kernels and melon seed kernels, both of which are common ingredients, easy to find and easy to make, and have different tastes to eat.

In addition to the filling, the other ingredients used in mooncakes are relatively simple, mainly flour, sugar, oil and some daily ingredients.

The embossing mold does not need to be too complicated, it can reflect the pattern and the words "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival", the mold Gao Hai has been processed according to the requirements, but there is no need to bother, the most troublesome is baking, to bake the moon cake into golden brown.

Several key points were grasped by Gao Feng, and everyone did it, and hundreds were made in half a day.

took out enough for everyone to eat, and put the rest of the peak into a wooden box ready to take away.

At the same time as the moon cake was completed, the wine was almost steamed, and thirty jars of original wine were finally steamed out of more than ten jars of new wine.

After taking a small glass, Gao Feng tried the taste, mellow and spicy, fragrant, this is the real wine. Although it is still inferior to the wine of later generations, it is infinitely close, and the peak of this situation certainly knows what is going on.

The fermentation of the original liquor itself is incomplete, and it contains some impurities just after steaming, so it makes the taste not right, spicy and fierce, and the mellow aroma is insufficient. As the saying goes, "wine is the fragrance of aging", this is not nonsense, but a fact with scientific basis.

After the wine was steamed, Gao Feng divided it into the jar and sealed it.

Ten altars of flowers are steamed out of more than three altars, and the peak plans to send two altars to Li Qikun, and one and a half altars for his family to enjoy. The other seven altars were put aside for other purposes.

Seeing that there was still some time, Gao Feng arranged to add food, drink wine, and eat moon cakes in the evening, and he went to the room to tinker again.

It was nearly dusk, Gao Feng finally walked out of the room, beckoned everyone to stop work and rest early, and personally ran into the pot house to cook a few dishes, put two tables, put moon cakes and half a jar of wine, and a large family plus the Hu family brothers and sisters, a total of thirteen people reunited.

Gao He saw that Gao Feng only took out half a jar of wine, and couldn't help but laugh, saying that the third brother was too stingy, and half a jar of wine was not enough for him to drink alone.

It turned out that everyone saw Gao Feng steaming wine, and they didn't understand the reason, even if someone asked, Gao Feng didn't tell him, and even after steaming, Gao Feng didn't let everyone taste it, his purpose was to surprise everyone. Therefore, people still regard it as ordinary wine.

Seeing that Gao He didn't understand, Gao Feng deliberately wanted to make him happy, and said with a smile: "Fourth, if you don't get drunk after drinking this half of the altar, I'll bring you another altar, how about it?" ”

Gao He didn't believe in evil, and was really fooled: "Why don't you dare, I thought that it would be okay for me to drink one and a half jars back then, what is just half an altar?" ”

The two of them were messing around, and everyone was so happy to see the joke that they all stared at the sidelines, and they didn't even persuade them.

Gao Feng took out a small wine glass and poured it to fill it, and handed it to Gao Daodao: "Let's drink this cup first." ”

Gao He looked at the small cup in front of him disdainfully, reached out and took it, and poured it into his mouth with a raised neck, the refreshing energy was like drinking honey.

However, the wine entered the mouth quickly and came out quickly, and while spitting out the wine, Gao He kept fanning his hands and said, "Spicy, spicy, why is it so spicy?" ”

Gao He's ugliness made everyone laugh all at once, it seems that this is the time to reach the peak.

When Gao He stabilized slightly, Gao Feng asked, "Do you dare to say that you can drink a jar and a half?" ”

"Don't dare, even half an altar doesn't dare to say it." Gao He confessed.

"Haha, what kind of wine is this? If I let my son admit it, then I have to taste it. Gao Youxian took over the conversation and smiled.

Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Gao Feng poured a glass for each person, handed it over and told everyone that they should taste the wine first, and then drink it thoroughly.

Everyone tasted the wine according to the words, and the pure wine was in the mouth, only to feel rich and violent, prickly and spicy, and then smacked the lips, and felt that it was mellow and fragrant, extremely heavy, and even had a faint floral fragrance, which was really different from the current wine.

"What kind of wine is this? How is it different? Gao Youxian asked on behalf of everyone.

"This is my original wine, and it is also a good thing for us to make money next, uncle, what do you say about this wine?" Gao Feng replied.

"Well, the wine is good, is it possible to make money?" Gao Youxian doesn't know about wine, and he doesn't know how to do the wine business, he just thinks that the taste of wine is okay, and he can't say anything else, so he can only ask questioningly.

"Uncle rest assured, it can not only make money, but also make a lot of money, you just wait to count the money." Gao Feng laughed.

Mention the money again, this stinky boy has learned badly, no, he is a bad guy, and he doesn't know when he will learn it well, and there will be so many crooked ways, but it would be good if wine could make money.
