Chapter XXVII: Detention and Appointment Order
"Shopkeeper Zhao knows the doorway of winemaking?" Gu Xiuyuan put down his chopsticks and asked the shopkeeper standing aside with a wine glass. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Xiuyuan's plan is to expand on the basis of the original winemaking, and then learn from each other to see if he can brew high-purity wine.
"I don't know the details, but I know a little bit about it." Shopkeeper Zhao nodded at Gu Xiuyuan and replied, "If the prince wants to know more detailed roots, then he has to let the craftsmen come over to solve his doubts."
The reason why Gu Xiuyuan asked the shopkeeper was because although Gao Huaiyuan didn't know any wine-making skills, he knew how to use distillation to extract high-purity wine!
After all, such a thing would have been known to children who had studied junior high school in their previous lives! So it's just too simple for him.
"Don't bother." Gu Xiuyuan waved his hand, took a sip of wine and continued: "Shopkeeper Zhao, do you have a pen and paper?"
"Childe, wait a minute."
Shopkeeper Zhao lowered his head and slowly withdrew from the private room, and called a guy outside and asked him to get paper, pen and paper, and after a while, the guy had already found what Gu Xiuyuan needed.
Gu Xiuyuan pushed the food on the table forward, moved out of a place, took the paper and pen in Zhao's shopkeeper's hand, and spread it on the table.
"Childe......" Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but ask out loud when he saw him like this, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Shhhh......h......h
Gu Xiuyuan picked up the brush, frowned, closed his eyes and thought, the appearance of the boiler needed for purification and distillation appeared in his mind, and after thinking about it, he no longer hesitated, and drew a sketch of the distillation pot in one go.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, when the time comes, find an available blacksmith to beat out the artifacts I have drawn!" Gu Xiuyuan blew the ink that had not yet dried, and said with a smile.
Gu Xiuyuan meant to ask the blacksmith to build a few special boilers according to his requirements, and then distill the liquor brewed in the original distillery again and again, gradually extracting a high degree of liquor!
As early as after coming to this era, he found that he had a lot of wine, and most of the people here drank wine from wine bowls, Gu Xiuyuan found that the wine of this era was slightly sweet and sour, and the degree was low, just like rice wine and rice wine.
Therefore, the key reason why Gu Xiuyuan is called a large amount of wine is the degree of wine in this era, after all, the alcohol content of the two eras is incomparable.
Although the wine-making process in the Central Plains and even in the south was very early, in the Song Dynasty, it was still brewed from fermented grains alone, and no deeper processing was carried out, and the liquor was also affected by the tolerance of yeast, and the alcohol content could not be too high.
It is often steamed with grain, and then fermented with koji, and when the raw materials are fermented to form a liquor after a period of time, the sake lees are pressed, and the liquor that flows out is clarified and filtered.
The liquor brewed in this way is directly sold on the market, and the alcohol that has not undergone the distillation process cannot exceed more than ten degrees at most, so even if the amount of alcohol is not good, it is not uncommon to drink two or three bowls of sake.
Shopkeeper Zhao was a little surprised when he heard Gu Xiuyuan's order, when will Gongzi also be a businessman?
"Childe, what is this artifact called? What's the use? Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the things on the picture, although it felt a little like a pot for brewing, but there were many different things, so he asked out loud.
"Oh, it's called a boiler! You can call it a steamer, and when the time comes, you can find someone to build it and use it to distill! Gu Xiuyuan's eyes rolled when he said this, and he thought in his heart, they must not know about distillation! nodded, and explained: "It is to use this boiler to purify and process the original brewed wine again!"
Gu Xiuyuan said as he opened the wine pot and teapot on the table separately, and explained to the shopkeeper Zhao: "For example, this teapot is the wine you brewed for the first time, and what about this wine pot!" It's that you use it for deep processing after brewing! ”
Gu Xiuyuan explained to Shopkeeper Zhao in simple terms, and after finishing speaking, he asked, "But you understand?"
Shopkeeper Zhao has listened to it for so long, and he himself knows a little bit about winemaking, so he can naturally understand what he said, but there are many words and words that he has never heard, but he didn't ask much, after all, this is Gongzi's own business.
"Understood."
Gu Xiuyuan picked up the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, nodded and said, "Since you understand, it's easy to say, let's find a blacksmith to build it in the next few days, and after it is made, it will be processed according to what I said!" Don't forget about the heat and the time in it! ”
Shopkeeper Zhao still nodded and replied, "Childe is at ease."
"Since the shopkeeper has said it, I can naturally rest assured that the wine produced will not be sold, but put it in the cellar first, and I will make other arrangements when I come back!" Gu Xiuyuan got up and straightened his robe, preparing to leave.
"Childe is at ease, the villain personally takes care of this matter." Zhao's shopkeeper's words remained unchanged.
"Okay, I should also go, lest I have an official document coming down and I am not in the mansion, and it will not be good to spread it like this." Gu Xiuyuan said and walked out of the private room and walked downstairs.
"No need to send it, the guys on duty at the wine shop today will see all the rewards." Gu Xiuyuan waved his hand after going downstairs, and ordered one last thing to the shopkeeper Zhao before leaving.
