Wen Ji saw Wu Yanzhi's expression quite disappreliantly, so he said, "Duke Wu doesn't seem to believe it? Let him scoop a bowl and try it at once."

"This ...... Then I'll try it! Wu Yanzhi said lightly.

It's not uncommon to drink before the food is served, because the rice wine is just a bit higher than the beer!

Many people drink rice wine as if it were the beer of later generations.

Wen Ji nodded at Xu Cai, then Xu Cai got up and went out, and after a while, he hugged a brown wine jar of about ten catties.

There were two waiters behind him, but they brought up all the utensils, and it seemed that they were ready to serve.

That Xu Cai personally opened the mud seal of the wine jar, and then took the hemp paper that sealed the wine, and in an instant, a rich aroma of wine came to his face!

Wu Yan is stunned, sorghum wine!

That Xu Cai poured three bowls, and then Wen Ji brought a bowl to Wu Yanzhi: "Wu Lang, please taste!" ”

Wu Yanzhi took the wine bowl, smelled it first, and felt that it was obviously the taste of sorghum wine, and then tasted it gently, it was not bad. I feel that the degree is indeed much higher than that of ordinary rice wine, and it should be in the twenties to thirties.

However, the sweetness of this sake is still very strong, and it is obvious that it is a mixture of sake rice and sorghum!

There is actually more than 20 degrees of wine, and Wu Yanzhi has a little surprise!

But he soon understood the truth: no wonder it was called "Jiannan Burning Spring"! The sake must have been distilled, otherwise it would have been impossible for any fermented rice wine to achieve such a high alcohol content.

No wonder Li Bai has the saying "Golden bottle sake bucket ten thousand", it seems that there is really distilled liquor at this time!

However, this is not distillation in the full sense, but only a boiling distillation, and the boiling point of alcohol is not always controlled at 78 degrees.

Since there is too much water vapor, the degree of the wine will naturally drop, and the temperature must be controlled at about 80 degrees Celsius to prevent the water from boiling in order to achieve the best distillation effect.

"The wine is a good wine, it should be made from millet (sorghum) and wine rice, and the wine rice is at least fifty percent or more, and this wine must have been steamed!" Wu Yanzhi said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Cai was instantly shocked: "This is a secret that my Xu family does not pass on, why does Wu Lang know?" ”

"I once met a merchant from the Western Regions, who not only taught me how to smelt the seven golds, but also taught me the method of brewing wine! Using the method he taught to make wine, it is stronger and more fragrant than your burning spring! ”。

When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little unbearable on their faces, and they just boasted that this sword was the first in the spring!

Wen Ji said: "It's abrupt! Xu Dashang, don't hurry up and ask Wu Lang for advice or two. If Wu Lang is willing to give you a point or two, I am afraid that you can really brew the world's best wine! ”

So Xu Cai hurriedly got up and said: "The villain has no eyes, he doesn't know the masters, and he hopes that Wulang will give him one or two, and the villain will definitely be rewarded!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Cai opened his mouth to thank him, and Wu Yan thought to himself, it would be okay to provide this technology to him. Anyway, my identity doesn't have time to make wine, so it's not good to do business.

So Wu Yanzhi said: "Actually, if you want to use my method to make wine, it will not be a problem to earn one or two thousand yuan in these two capitals alone in a year."

Of course, it is best to return to Jiannan to make wine like now, this wine pays the most attention to water quality, and it is impossible to make good wine with the water in Guanzhong. Jiannan is different, you can practice excellent wine! ”

So he slowly explained to Xu Cai the method of brewing high-grade liquor.

This includes temperature control during distillation, recipes for sake brewing, making stills, and more! As for the recipe, it is nothing more than asking him to increase the proportion of sorghum and wheat, reduce the use of sake rice, etc.

In addition, he was also required to build a cellar pond, use the cellar pond for fermentation, and further add old materials, and use old materials to enhance fragrance.

Wu Yanzhi knew the secret of brewing, and that was because of the group company he was in in his previous life, and there was a second-tier company below that had acquired a brewery a few years ago.

He went there to check, so he knew a little about how to make wine, and he naturally understood the truth of sorghum fragrance, wheat chong, and wine rice sweetness.

When Xu Cai, a big wine merchant in Shuzhong, heard it, he seemed to wake up suddenly! Exclaimed, "Oops! The villain knew that this soju could increase the spiciness of the wine, but he didn't know that it could also further increase the spiciness of the wine by controlling the cooking temperature.

As for the secrets provided by Wu Lang, such as the recipe, the cellar pool, and the addition of old materials, the villain must keep it in mind. With the secret of brewing provided by Wu Lang, the villain will definitely make a big profit, and another day, the villain will definitely come to thank him, please rest assured that Wu Lang! ”

In fact, even if Wu Yanzhi does not provide the secret recipe for brewing, it is also extremely honorable for a businessman like him to know a relative of the emperor like Wu Yanzhi.

"After you brew the good wine, you have to ask me to taste it first!" Wu Yanzhi said with a smile.

"What's so hard about that? The villain can use this spring to re-fire tomorrow, and it is expected that a stronger and more fragrant wine will be produced in the evening! He replied.

A few people chatted, and it didn't take long for the Nine Heavens Dao Master to bring his friend over.

Wu Yan looked at it, this person was in his thirties, dark and thin, very energetic, and looked like a shrewd and capable person.

After introduction, this person's name is Wang Dong, and he has been mining copper near Wangwu Mountain, but recently, there are fewer and fewer good ores in the vicinity, and the mine is digging deeper and deeper, and the cost is naturally getting higher and higher, and the business is a little unsustainable.

When everyone arrived, they naturally started drinking.

This ancient drinking is also very fair, paying attention to "patrol", in fact, a patrol, that is, everyone has to toast a round.

After the first tour is completed, the second tour will begin, and those who toast alone will not be counted. Therefore, in ancient times, a wine was drunk for a longer time, and everyone drank more wine, because it was generally necessary to drink three rounds.

In later generations, when drinking, it is generally finished after a circle, that is, it is only a tour of wine.

This cup is not small, close to the two taels of later generations. There were a total of five people in the house drinking, and after a round, each person was eight cups, and the degree of this Jiannan burn spring was close to thirty degrees, which was much higher than ordinary rice wine.

So after a tour, most of the people were five or six points drunk.

Na Wenji said: "Wu Lang, now you are the winter official Langzhong, and you also serve as a copper and iron envoy, but you don't need to go out of Beijing!" Just arrange for the judges and inspectors to go out on errands! Why do you have to go to Raozhou, which is thousands of miles away?

How good is the capital Luoyang! The living conditions are more than 100 times better than that of Raozhou, and many people would rather not be the fourth-grade and third-grade assassins in other states, and they also want to transfer back to the capital by all means! ”

"Gong Wen doesn't know, Narao Prefecture is rich in bile water, I want to use bile water to smelt copper, and there is no problem in increasing seven or eight hundred thousand catties this year.

If I don't go in person, those people under my command will collude with local officials and businessmen and run out of bile water? Besides, I have other big plans! As for the capital, I can still come back at any time! ”

Bile water smelting copper? Can you increase seven or eight hundred thousand catties this year? As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised!

Wu Yanzhi's thoughts, where do these people understand? That Wu Sansi and others can be crowned princes, and aren't they also royals?
