Chapter 61: Good Wine
On the second day, Li Ke took Qin Huaiyu and his party to Tiankeju.
"Third brother, you say, what are you calling us to do today" Chai Zhewei immediately asked as soon as he came.
Li Ke smiled but did not say a word, and did not answer.
But Li Jingye shouted: "When you are drunk, you are drunk, and you ask our generation to say that you are drunk." Maybe you say that our generation is drunk, and my generation wakes up in their own wine. It is the wine that does not intoxicate people and gets drunk. What a poem. Good poetry! "Hehe, the fourth brother praised it in seconds!" Li Ke said with a smile, the atmosphere at the beginning was good, very harmonious, "I invite a few brothers to come today, mainly because the wine I told you a few days ago was made yesterday, today?" Actually, I want you to give it a review! ”
"Wine?" Cheng Huailiang and the others frowned, the purpose of their coming here today was all for the business that Li Ke said was to make a fortune, not to drink any new wine. He originally didn't believe what Li Ke said about wine, although wine was a good thing, but how could he make it at such a young age.
"Hehe, second brother, you don't have to worry, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after drinking!" Li Ke interrupted Li Ke's words, and then waved to the craftsman and said, "Raise the fire!" As soon as he gave the order, someone immediately lit the firewood under the pot. The work before distillation is ready, and it is time to raise the fire to distill. Cheng Huailiang and the others were inexplicable, and they didn't know what Li Ke was doing. Can this kid really make wine?
After a short time when the fire was raised, the lees in the pot gradually warmed up, and the alcohol in it was heated and turned into gas, and then condensed into a liquid when it met the cold lid, and dripped down the tip of the awl into the copper spoon. Soon, a thin stream of liquor flowed out of the brass pipes on the walls of the barrel and was caught by the sprinkler jar that had been prepared long ago.
"Hmm~, what a fragrant wine!" With the outflow of wine, a rich aroma of wine spread in the workshop, Cheng Huailiang, who was extremely good at wine, snorted, not to mention, he was a little unbelieving at first, but when he smelled the wine, he thought that his money was all wasted, but now it seems that it is not bad, so he can't help but pick up a spoon and pour some wine into his mouth.
"Second brother, stop talking! Do you want to die? The frightened Li Ke slapped the spoon off, and now what comes out is the head of the wine, although the taste is very fragrant, but it must not be drunk directly, because the formaldehyde content in it is extremely high, and drinking too much will kill people.
"Little San, isn't it just a little wine, as for scaring you like this?" Cheng Huailiang said very dissatisfied. Isn't it just a matter of a sip of wine, Lao Tzu has drunk northern wine, will he still be afraid of your little wine.
"What do you know, this is called the head of wine that began to come out, it is poisonous, you will feel uncomfortable when you drink a little, and it will definitely kill you if you overdose, only if you store it for a period of time, let the poison in it come out, and then you can mix it with the wine." Li Ke said angrily, looking at it, Cheng Huailiang is a daredevil, he doesn't understand anything, he is a drunkard, thinking of the toothache expression on his face just now, Li Ke knows that he must be thinking about whether the money he invested in buying a restaurant will not return together, but just smelling the aroma of this wine, I don't know if what has just been reflected is true or false.
"There is such a miracle?" Qin Huaiyu asked with a look of surprise, "But the taste of this wine is so fragrant, I can't help but want to drink it." Qin Huaiyu also had a greedy face, because he had never smelled such fragrant wine.
After receiving about a pound of wine, immediately change the jar, and what comes out at this time is the heart of the wine, which can be drunk directly. Until the final liquor tastes lighter, and then change the jar, then the tail comes out, and when the next distillation, the tail can be added to the distillation again.
"Come on! How about you try this wine? Li Ke held the jar where the wine was placed, took a deep breath of wine, and then said. None of the people present were bad at drinking, especially Cheng Huailiang, who was the first to rush up, poured a bowl and couldn't wait to send it to his mouth. As a result, as soon as the wine was in his mouth, he was immediately flushed with high concentration of alcohol and wanted to vomit, but he was reluctant to give up such a delicious wine, and his face turned red for a while, and it took a long time to ease up, and he swallowed the wine in his mouth into his stomach with a 'goo'dong'.
"Whew~, what a strong wine! In a bowl. Cheng Huailiang let out a sigh of relief and praised loudly. Then he stretched out his hand and prepared another bowl.
"Good wine! One more bowl! Qin Huaiyu, this kid is a drunken maniac, he drank all the wine in the bowl in a few sips, and poured another bowl without enjoyment, Li Jingye and Chai Zhewei next to him saw that they couldn't drink anything if they didn't take action, so they rushed up and grabbed it.
With Cheng Huailiang's lesson, they didn't dare to drink it in a big gulp, but tasted it in small sips, and after getting used to the intensity of the wine, they let go of their courage to drink, and after a while, the wine in the jar let them drink most of it.
"Ah~, three...... Third brother, this wine is so good, just ...... It's just too strong! Hehe~" Chai Zhewei was drunk with his tongue wide, and fell to the ground after speaking, this wine is so strong, he has never been very good at drinking, and he can't hold on to getting drunk and falling to the ground anymore. And he was the youngest, and the amount of alcohol was the worst, so he didn't drink two bowls, so he fell straight down, "Hahaha~, this bastard boy!" Tell him to drink, you think you're me. Cheng Huailiang laughed and kicked Chai Zhewei with his foot, "Come on, carry him down!" It's a shame that you dare to drink such strong wine without drinking! ”
"Good wine! Wine! After drinking this kind of good wine, it will become light and tasteless when you drink other wines in the future, if you do it well, how can you earn millions a year? Even tens of millions are possible. Li Jingye, who has always been the most sensitive to money, also understood at this time, it turned out that the business Li Ke said was this wine, if he hadn't tasted it himself, he would never have believed that there was such a fine wine in the world?
"Third brother, how is the yield of this wine?" Li Jingye is now following Li Ke wholeheartedly, so he is very direct when he speaks.
"The output of the same grain is estimated to be only one-third of what it used to be, but as long as the raw materials are sufficient, it is almost as much as it wants." Li Ke estimated for a moment before he spoke, if it is not distilled, the degree of the wine is only a dozen degrees at most, and after distillation, the degree will increase at least three times, plus the loss in the distillation process, it would be good to have one-third of the previous output, which is still the result of the distillation to increase the yield of the distiller's grains a lot.
"Good! In this way, it is indeed a big business, third brother, how are you going to distribute the shares? Li Jingye was already carried away by the wonderful 'money' scene of distilled liquor, and asked impatiently, he was eager to put this liquor on the market right now, and then exchange it for heavy copper coins. Everyone else listened quietly, after all, it was in their future interests.
