Chapter Eighty-Eight: Secrecy and Opening

Just a distiller, every Tang Dynasty had to travel before, and used rotten things, why make it so mysterious?

In fact, everyone has known for a long time that the so-called mystery is not mysterious, not mainly for readers, but for those who have to follow in this era.

The distiller, in fact, is not complicated, and the principle is very simple, using the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, and the alcohol is baked out with fire. It is constructed as a cylinder for distillation, and then a condenser for storing the condensed liquor.

Just because it's very simple, Li Chen is nerve-wracking, this thing is not complicated, people can understand it at a glance. If one day he is imitated by others, then his fortune plan will be affected.

In order to keep it secret, he first built a special brewery, and only a few small people were allowed to enter. A few small turns are in charge of distillation, distilling the good liquor, and pushing it to the original cellar where the liquor was preserved.

Then on the production, Li Chen took great pains, he divided the drawings into three parts, and let Xiaohu take them to other places, or different places, to build.

This is to avoid being infiltrated into the brewery, memorized the appearance, and went to the blacksmith to imitate it. Don't look for this subway craftsman, try to avoid people looking for a blacksmith, that is, he should find the one, and as a result, he will be imitated by others.

Looking for a subway craftsman, it is also divided into three parts, which is kept secret at home. But the question is, how do you put them together?

Li Chen has visited the subway craftsman's workshop, and there are several problems with the still, first of all, the material, if the iron is rusty, the stainless steel from the Tang Dynasty? If you use copper, by, in this era, copper is equal to money, and it is made of copper, and the cost is too high, so you can only use bronze.

Secondly, there is the problem of sealing. In fact, it is not difficult, as long as the blacksmith's craftsmanship is not too bad, there will always be a way to create a completely sealed work. However, when it was built in three parts, sealing became a problem. For there are no standard weights and measures in this age.

Don't look at the peace festival, you should give a ruler as a gift, and since the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang has unified weights and measures. But weights and measures are still a problem, and the problem is that every blacksmith crafts an object based on experience...

Today, if you want to create items that need to be combined, a copper blacksmith is not a problem, as long as he is conscious when he builds, the combination items created by the same blacksmith can always be combined.

However, if there are different blacksmiths, even if they are the same size, it will be difficult to put them together. Although the weights and measures are the same, different blacksmiths and different craftsmen can make a thing of the same size amusement together.

However, if you don't do this, you can't do it, if you don't split a still into several parts, so that people can't figure it out, he can't worry about it.

So how to close it made Li Chen very troubled. After thinking about it, Li Chen, who had studied cartography in modern society, drew a three-view with charcoal, so that the blacksmith who received the pattern knew what to make.

The only difference from the modern three-view is that the modern three-view only needs to mark the dimensions on the drawing. And Li Chen strictly stipulates that he must be the same size as the drawings he draws. Only in this way, not to give them size, but to give the size, and also stipulate that it must be exactly the same, in order to ensure that the entire distiller can be assembled.

Li Chen also prepared for the worst, in case he couldn't fight it, there would be no rubber available in the Tang Dynasty. I can only find a way to put each iron hoop on the outside of the leakage part. If that still doesn't work, you can only tie it tightly with a cloth.

After the accessories were sent one after another a few days ago, Li Chen was so nervous that he first assembled the things, and then began to light a fire, pour wine, and start distilling.

First of all, what made Li Chen happy was that the blacksmith skills of the Tang Dynasty were passing, and when it came to size, they might be different, and it was not a problem at all to ask them to hit things of the same size. Then, the test passed, the fit was good, there was no leakage problem, and a few places were reinforced.

'Alright, alright, get out of here.' In the workshop, the big head hurriedly pushed out a jar of wine, and then the second dog and the fat ball were already in full swing for the next operation. Clearly, they have rehearsed this step with great skill. As soon as it was sent out, it was immediately taken out by someone and taken away by the customer.

After the distiller was delivered, Li Chen's initial test was successful, and he immediately began the experiment, and let a few children get familiar with how to operate. The process is not complicated, that is, pouring the wine and controlling the heat.

After intensive training and testing, although it cost a lot of money, I was familiar with the whole process at a young age. In terms of data, it is also about 9:!. Nine portions of thin liquor bought from outside, after distillation, can be distilled to produce a modern distilled spirit. It can't be said that there are many people outside the liquor store now, but dozens of people have gathered. Many people were waiting for the wine, some of the guests had taken the wine, and some people immediately made up for it, waiting to buy the wine, because at both ends of the street, there were two small stalls offering tastings.

'Uncle, what are you doing here, why are you crowding so many people? A man pulled an old man and asked. On this day, the streets are crowded with people, and people are crowded with people.

In previous years, although there were many people on the road at this time, the traffic was relatively smooth, and everyone was rushing to go out of the city, but today because of the congestion in a certain place, the traffic was knotted, and as a result, more people crowded into the front, and wanted to see what was going on. Resulting in a more severe blockage.

There will be so many people, because today is a good day to travel. The Neutralization Festival is a big festival, and it is also a day for people to go out on outings. I said before that the Neutralization Festival should be prayed for. Couples who have not given birth to children have to go to the temple on the mountain to "touch the doll", to the "divine tower" that looks like a male root, the daughter-in-law who looks like a "****", and the cliff that looks like a "fat doll" to kneel and worship, in order to achieve the purpose of praying for childbearing. Unmarried men and women elaborately made whips and flower baskets, and went on blind dates by hanging flower baskets and picking flower baskets.

So today, of course, we have to go out on a good day, although the weather is still very cold, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the people, after all, even the emperor has to go out of the palace to hold a ceremony, and people have more reason to travel.

'I don't smell it. How can the nose grow worse than that of me, an old drunkard. The old man sneered, who was pulled by the young man, and the young man did not have time to be angry, because he also smelled the strong smell of wine in the air.

'This wine is strong enough. The young man is also an alcoholic, and now when he smells the aroma of wine in the air, he immediately knows that this wine has not been drunk, and he is confident that he has drunk wine in his life, and he does not need to taste it, but he will know it when he smells it. Secondly, the wine was strong, he had never smelled such a strong wine, and he immediately joined the crowd to try a new wine.

The business of the liquor shop was booming, and Li Chen nodded upstairs, not in vain for his hard work. I thought it would take a few days to open up the popularity before I could open up the market. I didn't expect the Tang people to have a high ability to accept, but it was just two small shops that tasted wine, which attracted a bunch of drunkards to come. Everyone distilled the liquor and bought it as if they didn't need money.

You must know that this distilled liquor that he named "Drunken Red Dust" will cost three times for a bucket. There is no way, the cost is high, and the wine originally used for distillation is bought, and the ratio is 9:1, of course the price can't go down.

However, they couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the drunkards, and those drunkards drank so strong wine that the wine they had drunk before was like white water, and immediately ignited a rush to buy.

'I don't have to be on a promotion or anything just yet. Li Chen originally planned to use some promotional methods, but at present, there is only a tasting, advertising when he speaks, and a new product promotion. But the results are already good, and he doesn't plan to expand the promotion until he makes enough money.

From the second floor, after seeing the sales of the wine below, he went downstairs and began to inspect the main hall and the kitchen behind, while carefully checking whether there were any problems that he needed to solve immediately, and he would keep it in mind if he didn't need it, and then improve it after closing.

'Ladies and gentlemen, we meet again. On a small platform, Wang Xianyan took the stage to speak, "Today's Seven Little Blessing Wine Shop opened, thank you for coming, today I will definitely take out twelve points of energy to give you a wonderful speech." ’

"Everyone, the old rain and the new knowledge, let's talk about the old days...", Wang Xianyan finished greeting and began to speak, and then the three little ones on the stage also began to pull the puppet hard. Wang Xian said that he did not start from the first time of the Three Kingdoms, but said at his pace, because today's wine shop is almost full of old customers.

After deciding to rent the storefront, and a few days ago, Wang Shen began to advertise on the performance. said that from today onwards, he would "speak at a fixed point" here, so on the first day of the opening of the wine shop, it attracted many old customers, which made Li Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

He's really busy these days, he hasn't gone to Shengming Temple to talk for several days, there's no way, he's too busy. He commanded the cleaning and decoration of the liquor store, and hurried to draw a picture for Xiaohu to make a still. The busiest part is also interviewing employees.

Although it has been determined a long time ago, several small groups will help in the store when the time comes, and the name of the store will be called Seven Little Blessings. It's just that they have enough to cook, the chef who cooks the food, the doctor (junior) who is responsible for delivering the wine and food, and the kitchen helper, all of which have to be invited. He was so busy that he was dizzy.

Fortunately, first, those old guests cheered up, and on the first day of the new opening, a few tables were full, and then everything was on the water, eating and listening, and there were puppet shows to watch, not too exciting.

Second, because the predecessor of this shop was also a wine shop, many of the manpower was ready-made, Li Chen interviewed a little, and after confirming that they had no problems, the chef and the shopkeeper and kitchen helper were all retained, and he only needed to find a doctor.

During the inspection, Li Chen also found some problems. It's just that the store is too small. Many drinkers order some of the dishes and begin to taste them slowly, tasting and listening at the same time. Then I won't get off the table.

Li Chen found that this store could only have a dozen tables, and now they were all full, but there were still many people who had no place to sit. These people are willing to order food and drink, but there is no place to put it.

That's a question. What to do? Li Chen thought, while looking around the store, his eyes gradually drifted into the distance, (I don't know what the situation is like over there.) I'd love to see it. Suddenly, Li Chen said something irrelevant. His gaze seemed to wander a little.
