3 Shuping Miao hand-steamed good wine The name of the wine is Wulingchun
With a lot of free time, Wang Heng often goes out for a turn, and the rest of the time is in his own small yard to tinker with some novel things, these things are of course some things beyond this era, Wang Heng knows that when he comes to this troubled era, in the face of those eloquent heroes, he does not have any advantage in any aspect, the only advantage may be the vision and knowledge that is ahead of nearly two thousand years, if you don't make full use of this only advantage, do everything, then his final outcome can be predicted.
If it is possible, Wang Heng is eager to create guns and tanks, crush them all the way, and easily sweep the world, but he still has reason, he knows that no YY can be separated from reality, and it is impossible to create these things at the overall productivity level of this era, and he can only start from reality and make something that is in line with the productivity level of this era.
Of course, this kind of wine is not the wine of this era, the alcohol degree of this era is very low, and it is inferior to the beer of later generations, and most of the wine is very turbid, with too many impurities, and it looks very bad, and the taste of drinking is not good, so many ancient poems mention turbid wine, such as the frontispiece of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" There is a sentence "A pot of turbid wine is full of joy".
This kind of wine can be drunk by ordinary people at a time without getting drunk, and people with a good amount of alcohol can drink one at a time, so in fact, this kind of low-alcohol wine cannot meet the needs of good drinkers, and what Wang Heng has made out is a kind of high-grade wine after distillation, which is enough to meet the needs of alcoholics.
With the level of Wang Heng, a master's student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, designing a set of distillation equipment is naturally a trivial matter.
In this era, many big families are practicing a self-sufficient manor economy, so they have many slaves, and there are many craftsmen among these slaves, the Wang family as a famous family in Langya, of course, there are many slaves and craftsmen, this time Wang Heng came to Wuling to take office, naturally also brought a lot, and Wang Heng as the only son of the Wang family, his pocket money is also quite a lot, so he asked people to buy suitable materials in the bazaar, and then drew patterns, so that the craftsmen at home made various parts, and soon assembled a set of distillation utensils.
Then, Wang Heng asked people to buy rice wine and start distilling. In this place of Wuling, there is a tradition of brewing rice wine, and the rice wine brewed here is very famous, called wine mash, which is fragrant and pleasant, sweet and delicious, and has always been liked by people. After buying rice wine, Wang Heng asked the old servant Wang Sheng to preside over the distillation matter, and told him to keep this matter secret and not leak it out.
This morning, as soon as Wang Heng got up, he saw Wang Sheng holding a bowl of wine, and said to himself with his eyebrows: "Son, it's done!" ”
Wang Heng said: "The wine is steamed? ”
Wang Sheng said: "Yes, the old slave and his two sons steam all night according to your method, and steamed several buckets of wine. ”
Wang Heng took the bowl of wine that still had some residual warmth and asked, "Uncle Sheng, have you drunk this wine?" ”
Wang Sheng shook his head and said: "No, this wine is so expensive, dozens of buckets of good rice wine, only steamed so many buckets, the old slave is reluctant to drink, but just the fragrance of this wine, it is already the old slave has never smelled in his life, this wine is so clear, it is not an exaggeration to call it immortal wine, the son is really good." ”
Wang Sheng looked at Wang Heng with reverent eyes, Wang Heng smiled faintly, took a sip of the wine bowl, and tasted it carefully, the fragrance of this wine is much stronger than the original rice wine, and the alcohol content has of course increased a lot, but it is not up to the level of liquor in later generations, according to Wang Heng's estimate, the alcohol content is about 20 degrees.
Wang Heng pondered for a moment and then said to Wang Sheng: "Uncle Sheng, take this wine and steam it again." ”
Wang Sheng was stunned and said, "Steaming again?" Wouldn't it be a pity to steam such an immortal brew again? ”
Wang Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, you just do what I say." ”
Wang Sheng didn't say anything more, he gave Wang Heng a salute and hurried away.
In this way, these wines were steamed three times, each time with a higher alcohol content, and after three steaming, the alcohol content of these wines had reached more than 40 degrees, which was almost the same as the liquor of later generations, and in the end, these wines were only a little more than a bucket left.
When the third steamed wine was successfully baked, Wang Sheng was so excited that when he reported to Wang Heng, his lips were trembling, if the first steamed wine was immortal wine, then he didn't know what name to use to describe the third steamed wine, he said to Wang Heng: "Childe, this third steamed wine, the old slave just smells it, and he feels drunk!" ”
Wang Heng smiled and nodded, and then took some of the wine obtained from each of the three distillations to meet his father Wang Heng.
Wang Heng was in his study, and when he saw Wang Heng coming, he thought he was here to ask him what he didn't understand, and said to Wang Heng: "Shuping, but what questions do you have?" ”
The wine Wang Heng brought was packed in three small porcelain bottles, and he took out the porcelain bottles and said to Wang Heng: "Father, look what this is!" ”
Wang Heng's face showed a puzzled look, and Wang Heng stopped selling Guanzi, opened the wooden stoppers of the three porcelain bottles one by one, and put them on the table in front of Wang Ei.
Wang Rong picked up three small porcelain bottles and sniffed them separately, his face showed a different color: "This is wine?" ”
Wang Heng nodded and said, "Father is right. ”
Wang Rong said: "Where did you get the wine?" I have never smelled such wine in so many years, the wine is strong, just smelling it, it makes me quite drunk! ”
Wang Heng smiled and took a wine glass, first poured a small half glass of steamed wine, and motioned to Wang Heng to taste it, Wang Heng is also a good wine person, usually drink wine by buckets, today I saw such a good wine, of course I couldn't help it, he picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then, Wang Heng poured a small half cup of two steamed wine and three steamed wine for Wang Heng in turn, and Wang Heng drank them separately.
After drinking all three kinds of wine, Wang Rong's eyes became brighter and brighter, because it was the first time to drink high-concentration wine, and some people were not used to it, and his face was also a little red.
"Is there such a good wine in the world? Shuping, where did you get it from? How come I've never heard of this kind of wine? How much wine do you have? Is that all there are in the bottle? ”
The agitation of the first time he drank a high degree of wine, coupled with some slightly drunken wine, made Wang Heng lose the calmness of the history of Yizhou, and asked Wang Heng questions one after another, and stared at the porcelain bottles, as if he wanted to eat quickly, but he was afraid that these wines would be gone after drinking.
Wang Heng said respectfully: "Father, there is this kind of wine, you don't have to worry about drinking it, but this wine is very strong, Father can't drink too much, and if you drink too much, it will hurt your body." ”
Wang Heng listened to Wang Heng's words, put his mind at ease, he picked up the bottle of three distilled wine, and poured a small half glass, this time he no longer drank it all, but slowly tasted it, while tasting and exclaiming: "This is a rare wine in the world!" ”
After Wang Heng finished drinking the wine, Wang Heng asked, "Father, what do you think of the wine in these three porcelain bottles?" ”
After pondering for a long time, Wang Rong said: "These three kinds of wine are the only good wines I have seen in my life, they should come from the same source, made from rice, but there are some differences, this wine is the strongest, this wine is second, and this wine is again." ”
Wang Rong said while pointing to the three porcelain bottles in turn, referring to the order of three steamed, two steamed, and one steamed wine.
Wang Heng nodded and said, "Father really knows the way of wine. ”
Wang Rong said: "Where does this wine come from? ”
Wang Heng then told Wang Heng about the process of obtaining these liquors by distillation, and Wang Heng couldn't help asking, "How did you know about this distillation method?" ”
Wang Ei said that he had seen this method in a miscellaneous book, and this time he tried it when he had free time, but he didn't expect it to succeed, anyway, the bamboo slips of the Wang family were piled up, and it was impossible for Wang Ei to find the miscellaneous books that Wang Heng said.
It stands to reason that Wang Heng is also a kind of non-business, but Wang Heng's homework can be completed on time every day, so Wang Heng didn't care, but just warned Wang Heng not to put the cart before the horse, and then fell into contemplation.
Before Wang Heng came to Jingzhou, he was the patriarch of the Langya Wang clan, so he was very proficient in the economy, and today he listened to Wang Heng's distillation method, and he was keenly aware of the huge benefits contained in it.
Wang Ei asked carefully about the specific method of making zuò from distilled liquor, and soon calculated the cost of these kinds of liquor, the cost of one distilled wine is about hundreds of dollars per bucket, the cost of two distilled liquor per bucket is nearly a thousand yuan, and the cost of three distilled liquor per bucket is more than a thousand yuan, this cost is of course huge, but Wang Ei knows the consumption power of those famous tyrants, and the price of these wines can be sold ten times more.
As for whether the high price of these wines will have an impact on the lives of the people of Qianshou, Wang Rong has no worries, the cost of these wines is so high, it is not for the common people to drink, only those local tyrants, or to satisfy the appetite, or for the sake of face, will definitely rush to these wines, and the more expensive the wine, the more they will buy and make their money, Wang Rong does not have any psychological pressure.
With a plan in his heart, Wang Heng said to Wang Heng: "Shuping, don't leak out this distillation method." ”
Wang Heng nodded and said, "The child can save it." ”
Wang Rong smiled again and said, "Shuping, since you made these wines, then you should give them a name!" ”
After Wang Heng pondered for a long time, he raised his head and said to his father: "Father, since this wine came out in Wuling, with the meaning of a child, why don't you name it 'Wuling Chun'?" ”
