Chapter 52 Distillation and Brewing
The wine of Datang is generally between 15 and 25 degrees, even in Ji Kangli, a famous wine shop all over the country, the best Baijie liquor in it is only 25 degrees of wine, but the mellow aroma is very good, but it is still a little astringent, sour and bitter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ji Kangli, this is a terrible wine shop, it is the industry of the Xiao family, the wine it produces is the best in the Tang Dynasty, every jar of Baijie has to be put for fifteen years, it is extremely mellow, even Emperor Taizong is full of praise, every year to ask the Xiao family for more than a dozen jars, sure enough, it is worthy of His Majesty Li Er, the ass and heart are black.
It's a pity that Meng Yu has a better way to purify those turbid wines, so that they can remove the sour taste, and can increase the purity by about double, of course, Ji Kangli's Baijie must not be able to purify too high, after all, it is already a good wine.
What Meng Yu wants to propose is a simple distillation method, he doesn't have any experience in brewing, but he knows how to purify the distillation method, which is a necessary knowledge for nine years of compulsory education, how can he forget?
Soon, a few people came to a liquor store.
Chunsheng Lane?
Meng Yu smiled and said in his heart: The name of this wine shop is really unpredictable, do people in Datang like such elegant names? It's incredible!
"The name of your liquor shop is interesting!"
He didn't mock two sentences, and said: "Chunsheng Lane, do you mean that if you drink yours, you can forget your sorrows, men and women will be happy, and you will be able to bathe in spring together?" It's too evil, how can it look like those monks and Taoists are as virtuous! ”
Meng Yu's mind suddenly flashed the debate monk who cuckolded Fang Yuai, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Jun poured his face and said angrily: "This wine shop is mine, you have no right to interfere, so hurry up and show your skills, let me see your wine-making method!" ”
She suddenly turned around and said to the burly man, "Jiao Di, you go and call the winemakers of other wineries to come here, and let them learn Mencius's winemaking method well!" ”
"No!"
The burly man immediately gave up his hands and did not dare to slack off.
So obedient?
Meng Yu felt a little incredible, the scorched enemy was like a sergeant, he immediately did it after receiving the order, without thinking, you can imagine how terrible this gentleman's face is to make such a burly man so obedient...
"Alright, find a piece of gauze, and prepare the turbid wine, and clean the pot for me!"
Although Jun Qianyan didn't know what Meng Yu was going to do, she immediately ordered her subordinates to do it, but she led Meng Yu to the wine-making workshop.
She stared at Meng Yu's back and said secretly: This guy really likes to pretend to be a ghost, I don't know what his wine-making method is, why do you need gauze and turbid wine?
But she didn't think much about it, she still found it interesting for Meng Yu, and felt that there were some infinite secrets in this person.
………
"That's right!"
After Meng Yu made some preparations, he suddenly realized, and immediately walked to Wuxing, gave him the title deed, and said, "Uncle, hurry up and get a house to stay in, don't delay the time!" ”
Oh! yes, I almost forgot...
Wu Xing also suddenly woke up, immediately took the title deed, and walked away.
Seeing him go away, Meng Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, the matter of this newspaper is over, and the rest can only wait for the newspaper to be established, after all, His Majesty Li Er has not done it on his side, and he does not dare to act rashly, plus he still has some things to discuss with Fang Yiai, so he is not in a hurry.
"By the way, are there any hooks or filter racks?"
Meng Yu looked at the cauldron, looked at it, determined the way, and looked at Jun Qianyan with a puzzled face, and explained: "I need that kind of filter rack, which is the kind of wooden rack for steaming vegetables!" ”
Oh? It turned out to be a leaky bowl! Say it earlier!
Jun Qianyan suddenly said a few words to his subordinates as if he understood, then glanced at Meng Yu with a smile, and asked very seriously: "What else do you need, just say it!" ”
She knows how much profit the liquor shop makes in a year, if Meng Yu can double the wine, then the price will increase by two or three times, and many people will buy it.
"Hehe, this wine should only be in the sky, and it has to be smelled a few times in the world!"
Meng Yu decided to fool this girl, so he bragged seriously and said: "This wine will be called Chunsheng in the future, what do you think, the quality is pure and qualitative, echoing Chunsheng Lane, don't you think it has a very signature effect?" ”
Belch... Yes, indeed!
Jun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Then this wine is called pure raw wine?" ”
"Naturally, my wine is very delicious, if you take it out and sell it, it will be at least 300 yuan a bowl, and if it is cheap, it will not be sold!"
Meng Yu was very arrogant, and while pouring the jars of turbid wine into the pot, he said: "My wine-making method is called distillation, which was told to me by an immortal in a dream, this is the method of immortal wine-making, don't say that I taught it in the future!" ”
The winemakers were suddenly stunned, and immediately nodded in fear, not daring to offend the gods.
Hehe, terrible feudal society...
Meng Yu smiled, these ancients all believed in ghosts, so the nicknames of children from poor families generally have the word "pig and dog", for example, the big baby is called the big dog, the second baby is called the second dog, the second child is called the dog, and the female is generally called what kind of pig, such as Huayi, Chunyi, Jiubi, etc.
They feel that the lower the name, the better it is to give birth and raise it, and it is not easy to die.
Since childhood, they have been influenced by this kind of feudal ghost and god thinking, and it is no wonder that after these winemakers heard Meng Yu say that this wine-making method was given by the gods, their performance was a little unbearable.
"Childe, don't worry, we will never dare to talk nonsense!"
Several winemakers nodded heavily, looking at Meng Yu's wine-making process, for fear of missing one or two.
I'll go! Isn't it distillation? Haven't seen the world yet?
Meng Yu smiled and said: "You don't know, how sacred and rare this wine-making method is, I will hand it over to you at this moment, you must make wine well, and you must not bury this wine-making method, so that the gods will be happy!" ”
Oh, walk in the flickering of people...
Jun Qianyan couldn't hold back a sneer, and turned his head to the side, lest Meng Yu see her indecent appearance.
"I'll live up to my son's expectations!"
Several winemakers were extremely excited, thinking: How powerful is the immortal's method of winemaking, and it is really fortunate that such a method will fall into our hands.
Meng Yu smiled and continued to fiddle with the distillation method.
His method is very simple, the boiling point of alcohol is 78 degrees, and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees, as long as the cloudy wine is boiled, then the alcohol will be the first to evaporate into gas, submerged in the gauze covered by the pot, and under the gauze there is a leaky bowl to drag up a wine jar to catch the pure wine falling from the gauze.
To make it more convenient, Meng Yu also put a pebble on the gauze, so that it was easier to collect the wine.
"Do you know why you put a pebble?"
Meng Yu pretended to be profound, wiped the sweat on his head, sat aside, scooped a scoop of cold water, and went directly to his stomach.
It's so cool!
He is a farmer's child, and he is used to drinking cold water, so he is naturally not afraid.
"I don't know"
A few winemakers were confused for a year and asked, "Why?" ”
Meng Yu smiled and said, "Please God!" ”
After that, he said that he fooled a few winemakers so much that he didn't want to be his disciple, which made him look dazed.
………
"How's the wine ready?"
Meng Yu obviously can't drink wine, but he still makes wine here, which is really ridiculous.
Jun poured his face and smelled the strong aroma of wine, stepped forward to scoop a bowl, smelled it, and suddenly took a sip.
Is this wine? It's really strong!
She almost didn't react, she only felt that it was a jade dew elixir, no longer wine, so she said: "Mencius, why do I feel a little dizzy when I drink a glass of this wine?" ”
Meng Yu smiled and said, "Really? Don't pretend, you're not dizzy...... In the future, the raw materials for our wine will be those turbid wines, you know what to do, I'll go back first if it's okay, I haven't slept well for more than ten days, say goodbye! ”
Meng Yu left, he didn't want to continue to stay with Jun Qianyan, he didn't dare to have too many thoughts about this woman.
"Hehe, you're quite wary of me..."
Jun smiled, she didn't smile at the benefits she got this time, and after a few more words, she and Jiao Di also left.
