After half a month of operation, the Proton Mansion is no longer empty, and in the newly opened land of the subordinate concubines, earthworms are unearthed, bitter vegetables sprout and bloom, and wild king melons under the fence also bear fruit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning of April 3, the mole grasshoppers chirped in the grass beside the pond, but the brewery was in full swing. The shirtless winemakers and soap workers carried the wooden barrels containing the wine and grain, poured them into the large steaming drawer of the retort pot, and the retort pot was placed on the large stove, and some men added firewood and drums beside the stove, and they were busy working non-stop, and as the fire slowly rose, the hot steam came to the face.

Chang Anjun and the others who came to watch the steamed wine were also only wearing a single dress, and sweat continued to flow down his forehead, and Xu Ping, Lu Sheng and others were even more soaked with sweat all over their bodies.

According to Chang'anjun's instructions, the craftsmen made the retort pot into several parts according to the mercury extractor, the bottom is a copper kettle, called the ground pot, the middle is a retort bucket, and the top is a shallow copper kettle, called the heavenly cauldron. The cooked grain is put into a pot on the ground, and then heated by a fire, and the wine rises, and on that day cold water is put in the pot, and the wine condenses into wine, which falls on the terrace on the retort barrel, and then flows out along the copper pipe......

However, in yesterday's attempt, because the wine workers did not know the heat, the first time the fire was too violent, and it was not sealed with a thick cloth, but no wine was steamed, and all of them ran to the sky, and almost burned the wine and grain, and burned a hole in the pot. After changing to a cauldron, today is the second attempt, and everyone is a little apprehensive, doubting whether Chang Anjun's idea is feasible.

After all, this method of making wine is unheard of even by the old wine worker Di Yang, but Chang'anjun is a gentleman, even if he wants them to do more ridiculous things, he has to do it, maybe Chang'anjun is just looking for a warlock to play casually and have a pastime?

On the other hand, Xu Ping was also full of complaints, he was forced to agree to sacrifice the mercury extractor for alchemy, and let the coppersmith carpenter paint the scoop according to the gourd, and made the bulky and huge retort barrel in front of him, although the principle is in the same vein as distilled mercury flower dew, but Xu Ping just can't see it unpleasant, and he doesn't believe that this crude big guy can make anything good, yesterday's failure has been proof.

He was just waiting for another failure today, and Chang'anjun was desperate, so he might be able to listen to him and put these manpower and material resources into alchemy......

Everyone had their own thoughts, clustered around Chang Anjun, and they were all secretly thinking about how to end up in order to make the lord not lose face, but Chang Anjun himself looked calm.

In fact, Mingyue is also a half-ass, although in his previous life, he helped his father to make self-baking wine, but this craft has always been instructed by his father, he just did it, and he just had a rough idea. He wasn't sure about the heat or something, so he could only rely on his feelings, so today he called a few cooks who are good at steaming to help watch the fire.

But then again, is there any kind of invention that can be achieved overnight without experiencing failure?

Soon, everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the movement of the retort barrel.

The wet cloth that had been prepared for a long time was carefully wrapped around the junction of the steaming bucket and the floor pot, but as the fire below became more and more intense, steam began to come out of the upper part of the steaming bucket.

"Quickly add water." Mingyue said urgently.

The shirtless soaps hurriedly carried their poles and stepped on wooden ladders to pour buckets of water from the outside well into the cauldron at the top, and then someone had to stir it with wooden sticks on it.

Di Yang and a few kitchen Yongren squatted on the ground, staring at the fire, the cooks asked people to add firewood and drum not to be too anxious, according to yesterday's experience, they have found that the fire is too fierce is not good, it has to be like steamed meat soup in the kitchen, slow fire and fine steaming, such as cooking Xiaoxian.

This time they did the right thing, and in a bit of scramble, the copper pipe on the steaming barrel finally began to gurgle some clear liquid, dripping into the open clay pot below......

"Out of the water!" Lu Sheng's eyes were sharp, and he immediately shouted, and the people next to him all stood on tiptoe to look over, all of them were a little surprised.

But the good times did not last long, and soon, as the winery became hotter and hotter, and less and less liquid dripped out of the brass pipes, Di Ji, who stood on the wooden ladder, reported loudly: "Father, the water above is too hot, and the cauldron is steaming." ”

Mingyue recalled the steps of self-roasting wine at this time, and shouted: "Cease fire, change the water, be fast." ”

At the same time, he remembered what his father and uncles used to say in his previous life when they roasted wine in the countryside, "pinch the head and remove the tail to take the middle", pointed to the clay pot and said: "The clay pot should also be replaced." ”

Everyone began to scramble to scoop out the hot water in the heavenly pot again, Xu Ping hurriedly ran over, hugged the clay pot containing the liquid, smelled it, but found that there was a strong smell of wine in it was inhaled into the nose, although the smell was very strong, not mellow at all, but ......

"It's not water, it's wine, it's really wine!"

Moreover, the smell was far more intense and pungent than any liquor he had ever seen.

Xu Ping was taken aback, and then thought excitedly, distilled dansha, got the mercury of "Sun Gold Liquid", distilled flower dew, and got the fragrant essence. In the eyes of the magicians, this distillation process is the process of removing the turnip and preserving the essence, no matter what is obtained, it is the essence that can prolong life!

"Wine dew, this is the wine dew of the legendary fairy world! Drink it, or you can prolong your life! ”

As a magician who dared to practice anything and eat anything, Xu Ping was so excited that he picked up a pottery cup, scooped half a cup in the jar, and sent it to his mouth.

Before everyone could stop him, Xu Ping had already let out a terrible scream!

"It's hot, it's spicy!" He only drank half a sip, then squirted out all the wine in his mouth, covered his mouth with both hands, rolled on the ground, and finally pointed at Lu Sheng, muttering: "Water, give me water!" ”

For a while, everyone was amused by this warlock, Lu Sheng hurriedly brought half a bucket of well water, Xu Ping held the bucket, almost stuffed his entire head into it, and after a few sips, he gasped and commented: "What is this?" I've lived for more than forty years and I've never drunk such a bad drink! ”

At this time, Di Yang also silently squatted beside the wine jar, poured a spoon and tasted it, and also frowned.

"Childe ......"

Di Yang said hesitantly: "The villain is guilty, I'm afraid that he didn't do it right, although this wine is extremely strong, far more than Yan Zhao's thick wine, but the taste is too spicy and bitter, it is difficult to enter the throat, and I can't drink it at all......"

Xu Ping didn't even swallow it, his lips were burned so red and swollen, Di Yang took a small sip, and he felt as if there was fire in his throat, and it was spicy and uncomfortable.

Everyone secretly slandered that Kuang Liang really couldn't drink a bucket and a half of this kind of wine, because what kind of wine is this, this is obviously a burning knife stuffed into people's mouths! In short, two words, unpleasant!

Mingyue also sniffed the wine in the clay pot, it was indeed as the two said, it was extremely strong, it was difficult to eat, and he used this wine to pour Kuang Liang, but he was afraid that he would directly refuse to drink it......

Everyone was very disappointed, but Mingyue had a bottom in her heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is the first pot, and how about the second pot?" ”
