Chapter 7: Brewing Famous Wines

(PS: Can you guess who the top three of the four talents are?) )

However, a family like Su Lin is extremely poor, and it is understandable to do some business.

"It is inevitable that doing business requires some capital, and the little woman still has two taels of silver here, an official..."

Before Yun Su'er finished speaking, Su Lin excused himself and said: "Girl doesn't have to be like this, although I am poor, but Su Lin will never be able to collect this money." ”

Yun Su'er was stunned for a moment, and after seeing Su Lin's ugly face and a trace of stubbornness in his eyes, she felt that her actions were a little inappropriate.

How could such a man accept a woman's almsgiving?

"If there is nothing else to do, Surin will come to visit again that day and say goodbye." Su Lin only felt a hot pain on his face, he was poor, but he was by no means a weak scholar who needed a woman's money!

Yun Su'er opened her mouth, but she didn't say what she wanted to say, looking at the back of the long man who left angrily, there was a glimmer of brilliance in her eyes.

Walking out of the door, Su Lin let out a sigh of relief, he could see that Yun Su'er had no other meaning, but if he accepted this money, he would always have a nail in his heart, and there was a feeling of being looked down upon, in his opinion, as an adult man, with hands and feet, he could not accept this kind of free money.

However, Yun Su'er, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, has talked with an outsider for so long, and it is obvious that she regards herself as a friend.

Thinking of this, Su Lin was in a good mood and decided to start implementing the plan in his heart today.

In his previous life, Su Lin's family was in the tea and wine business, and his father had a lot of research on tea culture and wine culture, and he also did tea surveys in Yunnan and southern Fujian.

In Su Xiucai's memory, the Great Song Dynasty tea and wine culture was rich, the upper and middle class people prevailed in the tea ceremony and wine ceremony, most literati liked the taste of smooth, mellow fragrance tea wine, and many martial artists paid attention to the intensity of tea and wine, every festival, the Great Song Dynasty can see a lot of people who are drunk because of tea and wine.

Tea Surin does not have the time and conditions to investigate now, so he can only start with wine, after all, the conditions for winemaking are easy to meet.

The three famous liquors of the Great Song Dynasty, the immortal drunk, the Tongque Tai, the north wind burns, the immortal drunk is the top famous wine produced by the royal wine cellar today, even the emperor will only take it out to drink when celebrating with the heroes, as for the Tongquetai, it is produced by a wine-making family in Jiangning, the taste is mellow, and it is loved by the literati, but the price is expensive, and it often requires dozens of taels of silver for a pot.

As for the north wind burning, it is said that it is made by a Yuan person, this wine is strong, extremely spicy, and it is sold well in the rivers and lakes and the army, although the price is almost the same as the general famous wine, but a jar also needs to count two snow silver.

But on the market, whether it is Tongquetai or Beifeng Yao, merchants often for the sake of quality, a batch of wine needs a year and a half to come out, a jar of ten catties, ten catties and eight pots, a batch of wine is no more than two or three thousand jars, just so 10,000 pots of wine, need to be sold in the entire Song Dynasty for a year and a half, unlimited is impossible.

This is one of the reasons why famous wines are precious.

"This Tongquetai should be glutinous rice wine, however, these wines have not been distilled, firstly, the wine is mellow, and secondly, the degree is not high, which is suitable for ordinary people to taste, as for the north wind burning, it may be the distilled liquor of the Mongolians."

In the history of the original world, most of the traditional Chinese liquor culture refers to liquor, and distilled liquor is the product of the northern ethnic minorities who entered the Central Plains, and then formed the Chinese liquor culture.

Compared with liquor, Su Lin prefers to make wine, the degree is not high, and it can also cultivate sentiment and self-cultivation, perhaps the ancients are like this, poetry is in wine, wine is in poetry, and there is a brilliant Chinese culture!

Su Lin came to the bazaar after a while, no matter in which time and space, which dynasty, the upper and middle class people would set up banquets, marriages, sacrifices, funerals, housewarming...

This made Su Lin think that in the history of the world he lived in, this is how Champion Hong and Daughter Hong came from, whether it was a marriage or a literati event, it was appropriate to use these two kinds of wine.

For the materials used to make these two kinds of wine, Su Lin has long been familiar with it, although the names of Zhuangyuanhong and Daughter Hong are different, in fact, the materials and brewing process are not much different.

Last year was a small flood, which harmed a lot of crops, although the first season of this year has been harvested, but the price of rice has only dropped a little, and glutinous rice is more expensive than raw rice, Su Lin spent 200 yuan to buy only three catties of glutinous rice.

After spending all his savings to buy materials that could only make ten catties, Su Lin suddenly regretted why he didn't borrow money from Yun Su'er at that time...

"Mistake, mistake!" Along the way, Su Lin was sighing why he was so stupid, and he didn't even think of borrowing money for the sake of face...

When he got home, Su Lin went to the stove room to light the fire, and put half a pound of glutinous rice into the pot, but it was cooked well after a while, and the proportion of materials in the recipe kept coming to mind, while carefully putting the condiments in, and finally took a jar and sealed it, and so on repeatedly, the two jars appeared in front of Su Lin.

"Five catties of champion red, five catties of daughter red, just two or three tables... Huh! ”

It was June, and although the yeast fermented quickly, even if Su Lin was confident that the recipe was better than Tongquetai, he didn't dare to be careless, and was ready to open it after half a month.

"At this time, what is Brother Wen Bang doing to make a fire?"

As soon as the jar was placed, a kitten came looking for a taste.

Looking at the curious look on the jade scale, the corners of Su Lin's mouth curled: "Jade scale, I have something to do for my brother, and if you do it well, you and my brother will be able to make a fortune..."

Then she told him about the winemaking.

Listening to Su Lin's words, Jade Scale was a little surprised, how could he never have thought that the nerdy brother who had always studied hard would actually start a business, a nerd doing business? This is something that has never happened in Yangzhou City...

"Brother, did you crash out of your mind yesterday?" Jade Scale stood on tiptoe, touched the scar on Su Lin's forehead, and said with concern.

Su Lin was a little depressed, and the image of that nerd seemed to have a great impact, so he had to say: "The family situation is so difficult, don't you think about your mother?" My brother has seen the world openly... What's more, there is no conflict between studying and doing business, is it? ”

Hearing this, Jade Scale had no choice but to nod: "In this case, Jade Scale will go and ask about the situation." ”

"Eh, if it can be half a month earlier, maybe it will be able to sell it on the Begging Festival." Su Lin shook his head with some pity, it was already in the twenties of June, and there was only half a month before the begging festival, and it was completely impossible to open the wine at that time.

Before that, Su Lin could only start from other places, but he still ate it.

Although there are stir-fried vegetables at this time, there are many patterns, but most of the ordinary people are still in the process of steaming, and stir-fried vegetables not only cost oil, but also have very high requirements for condiments, so in the eyes of ordinary people, they belong to the level of delicacies and seafood.

Of course, Surin is not a stir-fryer, and he is not good at it, as far as he knows, there is no vegetable oil in this world.

This is a huge business opportunity!
