The steward in Cheng Yanjin's Mansion came to the palace to inform Li De that the brewery in their Cheng Mansion could already produce the wine that Li De wanted, and came to ask the prince if he wanted to take a look.

Look, it must be seen that in addition to wine, a high degree of alcohol is very useful for soldiers to reduce casualties, and it can also be used in the medical and health undertakings of the Tang Dynasty. Without saying a word, he called Tong Qing and set off.

When he came to the brewery, Cheng Yanjin was already waiting at the door, and greeted Li De with a smile.

Cheng Yanjin said, "Lord Wang, this wine is fragrant, the aftertaste is mellow, and it is not on the top, you can taste it later, but I am in accordance with your instructions, and it is not discounted at all." ”

Li De replied, "You are really a wine worm, you must be the first to drink it, I don't know you yet, so why should I tell you that the high alcohol that has been distilled repeatedly has also succeeded?" ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded and said, "I don't let you come and see it with your own eyes, it must be done, just come and go inside." ”

Passing through the doorway and entering the interior of the workshop, workers came and went carrying sacks to add raw materials to the large equipment, steam continued to gush out from the chimney above, and as the pipe made of brass with a thick bowl mouth spiraled down, I saw that the white liquid at the exit slowly dripped into the large wine jar below, and the air was filled with the smell of steam and wine.

A steward came over to explain the operation of the workshop to Li De, and it could be seen that Cheng Biting Jin had put in his strength to handle this matter, and Li De was very satisfied.

Cheng Yanjin was very eye-catching and brought a bowl of new wine to Li De to taste. Li De took a sip of the smooth entrance, the taste was mellow, there was no burning sensation after the stomach, and there was a faint sweetness, "Yes, it's a good wine,"

Cheng Yanjin saw that Li De affirmed this wine, and then asked, "You see this wine can be sold on the market, right?"

Li De looked at Cheng Biting Jin's expression and chuckled, "You old Cheng, this is thinking about money, are you a prince or a general so short of money haha?"

Cheng Yanjin was embarrassed and said, "The name of the national prince is also bluffing, which point is not enough for me to drink, or I don't need to open a restaurant and a restaurant." ”

Li De nodded, "Okay, you can start selling, it just so happens that my restaurant is about to open, and it will definitely be popular when the time comes."

Cheng Yanjin asked happily: "Then what do you think is the name of this wine?" ”

Li De groaned for a while and said, "Why don't you call it drunk Chang'an?" ”

Cheng Yanjin wants to get drunk in Chang'an, isn't this Chang'an just a way to make people linger and make people intoxicated, it's called this name.

Li De also said, "In addition to this name, we also have to do a good job of packaging, it is best to use porcelain bottles to hold wine, and let the craftsman draw some pictures of ladies, beauties, flowers, birds, fish and insects on the wine bottles, anyway, it is necessary to feel very elegant, so that our wine can be sold expensive, sold high-end." ”

Cheng Yanjin's excited eyes lit up, just like the eyes of a night owl, and he felt that countless money was rolling in, and he immediately called the steward, ordered him to go down, and asked to be good soon. The steward took the order and left, Cheng Biting Jin patted his head again and said to Li De, "Look at my memory, there is also a kind of wine, which is much stronger than this, why don't you think of a way to sell it together, I will take a bowl and you will taste it." ”

Cheng Yanjin brought the wine, "This has been distilled 4 times, one more time than drunk Chang'an, you can taste it"

Li De took a sip, his face was swollen and red, his mouth was full of spicy, and he swallowed it hurriedly, the wine felt like fire burning from his throat to his stomach, and it took a while before this feeling slowly disappeared.

"Spicy, spicy is me, it's like a knife cutting my throat. It's much worse than drunk Chang'an. ”

Cheng Yanjin answered, "But isn't it, what do you think about this wine, it is so strong and spicy, and the Tang people will definitely not be used to drinking it."

Li De thinks that this wine is strong and is about to catch up with vodka, a little stronger than the second pot head, it doesn't matter if the people of the Tang Dynasty don't like to drink, go to the northeast, to Tubo, to the grassland to sell, don't want money, barter to Cheng Biting Jin and said, "Old Cheng, you have a caravan at home, go to Goguryeo, grassland, Tubo,"

Cheng Yanjin thought for a while, "There is a caravan that my family has to go to Youzhou, that is, to trade fur Dongzhu with all the clans on the border, I haven't been to other places yet, I know that Brother Qin's family also has a caravan, do you want me to ask?"

Li De knew that Cheng Biting Jin was looking at a way to make a fortune and wanted to take care of Qin Qiong, so it was good to bring these nobles in to do it together, which would deepen the relationship and make it bigger in an all-round way, so he agreed to let Cheng Biting Jin contact them and let everyone do this business together, in addition, "You can let everyone do it together, I have a requirement that you must barter with those tribes, horses, cattle and sheep ores, and it is best to barter, if not, you can exchange money to buy, my idea is that whether it is Tibet, grassland, or Goguryeo, it is a cold place, This kind of wine is the most suitable for them, and it will definitely sell for a good price, well, the name is burnt knife. ”

Cheng Yanjin happily agreed, saying that he would leave it to him, and when the time came, he would gather people to listen to Li De's instructions.

Li De finished talking about the wine and asked, "Lao Cheng, I'll tell you where the important alcohol is, take me to see it." ”

Cheng Yanjin took Li De to the side and asked the servant to bring the alcohol to Li De for inspection.

A completely sealed clay pot with a small size was brought to Li De, and the servant lifted the seal and took out a bowl and placed it on the table.

Li De dipped his hand a little and sniffed it, the taste was very similar, and he rolled up his sleeves and wiped it twice on the back of his hand, and after a while, he felt very cool, it was indeed the alcohol he wanted, the concentration may not be as high as in later generations, but it would be very good if it could have an effect.

Cheng Yanjin explained beside him, "Lord Wang, you don't know, in order to make this thing, I took a lot of effort, when I first made it, the people didn't know, so I tasted a little and immediately fell to the ground, almost fainted, that is, the brewing process is too complicated, especially the cost of food, several cans of burning knives can make such a can, you see this thing, right." ”

Li De must have said, "That's right, it's this thing, blame me for not telling you to pay attention to it at the beginning, this thing will die if you drink too much, pay attention to explain it to the next people in the future, this thing is called alcohol, also called ether, it has a miraculous effect on trauma treatment, it can prevent wind evil from entering the body, and the wound can be wiped with this without inflammation and pus, and it can also be used for high fever." It's very useful, Lao Cheng, I will report this matter to Your Majesty and remember your great merit. ”

Cheng bit the golden circles and said to Li De, "The prince is serious, I don't want to take credit, as long as this thing is really so good, Lao Cheng will hide it, you don't know how many soldiers followed me back then, that is, the people who didn't treat me well were gone, I am ashamed, they followed me to the battlefield, I didn't bring them back, they didn't die on the battlefield, but a small injury killed them, old Cheng is ashamed"

Li De is very able to measure Cheng Biting Jin, all of them are from civilian backgrounds, although they are all successful and boneless, but they are also living people, Li De is very sympathetic to Cheng Biting Jin's ideas, and he can sympathize with his subordinates, and his subordinates will naturally give you their lives.

"Okay, don't worry, what I said must be true, when I am ready to promote this thing in the whole army, and also throughout the country, this thing is used for disinfection, and it is also effective in treating patients. That's a great achievement, and you don't have to excuse yourself. ”

"By the way, I'll prepare some drunk Chang'an later, I'm going to go into the palace to have a look."
