The wine industry in the Song Dynasty was also prosperous, and according to the raw materials, it could be divided into fruit wine, rice wine and multigrain wine, and some fruits, straw, glutinous, millet, rice, wheat, and millet were all used to make wine. Even the sweet rice wine made from pure glutinous rice, some people use rice wine tanks to cook.

According to the brewing time, it is divided into large wine and small wine, from spring to autumn, half a year to brew the achievement of taking out the sale called small wine, this wine is steamed in the winter and then steamed, rebrewed, and the next summer is taken out and sold is a big wine. But this steaming is not a strict distillation, although it is a big wine, the degree is not very high, which is equivalent to the flower carving of later generations.

According to the color and luster is divided into sake and turbid wine, mostly turbid wine, so there is a sentence of turbid wine a glass of home thousands of miles, sake requirements are more stringent, after precipitation, filtration, can not see the light, the material is mostly the selection of high-quality rice as the raw material for liquor. It is mostly a large wine, the process is more complicated, and it is very expensive.

Some of the main store has a special winemaker, and this era is very strict about the secrecy of the technique, each craftsman cherishes himself, there is a winemaker, through his hands are all fine wine, can be in accordance with the methods and steps he taught to make wine, others can not brew, ask him the reason, he said that the wine is made with the temperature of the weather is hot and cold, how many quantities, are cold and warm, but also to stir it evenly and properly, taste the body test, and here can not be dictated, but the heart knows the ear.

It's not so mysterious, it's actually unwilling to tell others about the important door.

In order to wash the wounds of the soldiers, Song Jiu studied strict distilled liquor after returning.

I don't know how many degrees I have, but Song Jiu has tasted it, and it seems to be no less than the second pot head in his previous life.

Where do you know the Tao, and not only the aroma of wine, but also look at the wine. It's still the most standard sake!

Song Jiu shouted, everyone has a lot of fun. Or for the cucumber, so they lowered their necks and poured them down. Can this be filled?

Most of the people on the spot immediately choked. Song Jiu said: "One mouthful, one bite." ”

The terrible thing was that out of curiosity, they brought many female dependents, and saw them drinking, and these female dependents watched from the sidelines. At least this bowl can be drunk, and I gritted my teeth and drank it one by one. The hell is still to come, they all come on empty stomachs, such a strong soju has never been tasted, and it is still dried up in one go. Then half of them started spinning and turning.

Lu Duan said: "Knife wine, knife, fire is burning." ”

Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Not only Lu Duan, but half of the people were spinning around, and some of them were crazy about drinking, raising the bowl and saying: "Good wine, good wine, good wine." ”

The people on the side were dumbfounded, and they could also drink too much wine before. Like some powerful sake, the amount of alcohol is not good, and two or three bowls can still drink people down. However, everyone who can come up can drink some wine. How can a bowl go down and almost kill half of the people?

It's still very good, half of them are standing. Including the Pan brothers, but where did the two stand. His face was burned red, and he only stood and did not speak. After most of the day. Pan Weide said: "Sure enough, it is a wine that only men can drink." ”

looked left and right again, and then Da Lu laughed, and at this moment, the alcohol attacked, and more than forty Yanai lay down.

Song Jiu said, "There are still three bowls." ”

There were a lot of people standing, but they all looked at each other. If there is still one bowl, they can do it with their teeth, but the three bowls make them walk, and the most reluctant look at each other together, and they are all cowardly. Han Qingxiong said: "Jiulang, you are ruthless!" ”

Song Jiu looked at him, it was not bad, although he killed half a catty of real Lao Baigan in one go, his face was relatively normal, this was a good amount of wine, and said: "Han Erlang, can it be regarded as the number one liquor in the world?" ”

Han Qingxiong relieved himself at this time, nodded his head, and couldn't admit it.

"Just by virtue of the name of the world's number one martyr, how much business will it bring if it is placed in the main store?"

"Yes," Han Qingxiong and Yigan Yanei suddenly realized, don't mention it if it's good or not, but where is there such a strong liquor? It's also a nice gimmick.

Pan Weide asked: "How much does it cost?" ”

"It's not mass-produced, I don't know, but the cost is three to four times that of ordinary wine." Song Jiu said vaguely. Song Dynasty wine is generally between five and thirty Wen, depending on the quality and material of the wine, it is made of sorghum, the sorghum itself is not valuable, a bucket is only a few dollars, then the price is practiced, if it is brewed with rice, it will be very expensive, if it is brewed with fruit, the price is even more expensive. There are grades, divided into twenty-six classes, the first class is expensive and one penny. The big wine is eight to forty-eight yuan, divided into twenty-three grades, and the first class is more expensive than one to two yuan. If it is three to four times that of ordinary wine, the cost is only between 60 and 80 yuan, although it is more expensive, five or six catties of other wine can't pour a person, and half a catty of soju can pour a person, so it's worth it.

In fact, Song Jiu omitted one item in the middle, that is, the source of the wine.

Don't talk about the taste of this wine, drink it is to drink its spiciness, whether it is a big wine or a small wine, or a sorghum wine rice wine? The more energetic, the more gimmicky.

However, there will be some troubles, not all regions of the Song Dynasty implemented the liquor system, including the states of Chenhua Cai Ying near Gyeonggi, and for some special reasons, these areas were allowed to be sold by private brewers. However, in the Gyeonggi area, there is a strict system of sake brewing, and if a private person wants to brew and sell it, he must buy koji from Kojiwon, and even if he has no capital, he can pawn sake koji on credit with his family property, and of course he cannot afford to pay it back, even if he sells it. It was precisely because of this article that Song Jiu came up with those regulations for the gold shop.

The gold shop is still far away, and Er Zhao may still be thinking about it. However, there is also a rule that in addition to the folk liquor brewed for one's own drinking, if it is for commercial use, each liquor business must be opened fifty miles away from the capital, so as not to encroach on the profits of the Quyuan.

There are also stores in the capital that sell wine, which is another form, buying and puffing. In layman's terms, it is a contracted liquor tax, and if it is placed in the locality, after contracting the liquor tax in this area, it has the right to prohibit the entry of liquor from other areas. But not in the capital, after buying, you can only get the right to sell, no monopoly.

If you want to operate for a long time, you must also buy a po, and at the same time, you must have your own liquor workshop, and only when the cost of base liquor decreases, the cost after distillation can be further reduced. In addition, it can't be measured purely for the sake of degree, at least one three steamed and three brewed, or even seven steamed and seven brewed, but this research and development is not Song Jiu's specialty, and it must be studied by clever winemakers. It is not until the release of a high number of spirits with a high taste that this can form a real fist product.

There's a lot going on. And time waits for no one, prepare for the Qingming period. Estimate the accounts again to see how much money is left, and set up a wine workshop with the workshop in Henan, otherwise the land will be empty.

The barbecue will begin.

After suffering hardship, although the rest of the soju was sent out of the palace, all the yamen tasted it in small sips, and more than a dozen yamen came to their senses and looked for water everywhere to drink.

There were cheers from the woman's side.

The Song Dynasty also sold a variety of beverages. Including the summer ice drink, or sucrose juice, it is definitely not as good as this fruit enzyme, and several yamen are cooking in their hearts, regardless of their face, and they ran over to fight with these women. However, these women are not easy to mess with, and they will fight out one by one.

Lu Duan finally came to his senses, attached himself to the ground and vomited, vomiting for a long time. The officials brought water for him to rinse his mouth, sobered up a little more, and staggered over and said, "Song Jiu, you did it on purpose, right?" ”

"No, I don't. I've said it's strong, I've said it several times, how can you blame me if you don't believe it? ”

Lu Duan was speechless.

Song Jiu was kind. Quietly pulled him aside and handed him a bowl of fruit enzymes. Let him relieve his hangover, Lu Duan drank it in one go. "It still tastes good." ”

"Lu Zhixian, eat some food."

"I don't want to eat, I'm dizzy." After Lu Duan finished speaking, he asked the official to help him back to the county office. But in any case, the wine is so strong that it is a gimmick in itself, plus this novel drink, and that kind of fruit.

Some of them are clever, and they can see some prospects for the future store. Many of them did not invest in the government, or they did not invest in the shares, or they did not invest in the shares, and they regretted it at this time.

There is no regret medicine in the world, and it is impossible for Song Jiu to gather all the Yanai into the deed shares. As if he hadn't seen their eyes, Song Jiu casually guided everyone to barbecue.

Not far away, Pan Li'er whispered a few words to Pan Weizheng, and Pan Weizheng ran over and poured a bowl of soju and brought it over. There are also some women who drink, and there are not a few, when the alcohol is low, regardless of men, women and children. saw Pan Wei bringing a bowl of wine and wanted to taste it together. After tasting it, I stuck out my tongue one by one.

Han Qingxiong ran over again and said, "Jiulang, bring me a jar, I'll take it back and give it to my father to drink." ”

"No, this is just a trial product, for everyone to taste, if you want to drink, the store will open after the autumn, there is."

"You're an appetite."

"Sort of, don't forget, the business of the store is good, and you can only share dividends."

"Okay, you're amazing."

So a new legend began to circulate in the capital......

……

The Qingming Festival in March is a big festival, there were originally Shangsi Festival, Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival, basically all together, Shangsi Festival gradually disappeared in the Song Dynasty, and became the Songkran Festival of some ethnic minorities. The Qingming Festival and the Cold Food Festival were still preserved in the Song Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, the Qingming Festival is the Cold Food Festival, and the Cold Food Festival is not the Qingming Festival.

Generally, the one hundred and fourth day after the winter solstice is the cold food festival, and the second day is the Qingming Festival, which has also changed in the Song Dynasty, becoming a three-day cold food, and the third day is the Qingming Festival. Song Jiu's Qingming to Pan Li'er refers to the first day of cold food, the whole country prohibits fire and eats cold food, and goes to the tomb to worship the ancestors, until the third day of the palace holds a new fire ceremony. The small yellow door uses elm wood to drill the fire in the gate, and the first person who gets the fire will be rewarded, and then the fire obtained will be given to the auxiliary ministers, Qi Li, the marshal, the section inspection, the three envoys, the knowledge of Kaifeng Mansion, the privy straight bachelor, the middle envoy, with the new fire there are a series of rewards.

This year, Song Jiu made a great contribution, and he was also notified by Xiaohuangmen to participate in the new fire ceremony, but that was the day after tomorrow.

First of all, the school will be on vacation for three days, tomorrow to worship the ancestors, today to Xiangguo Temple.

There are not many people in Xiangguo Temple today, most of them went to the suburbs together, and Song Jiu was looking for Pan Li'er with his eyes. As a result, he saw a strange scene, some officials were demolishing some houses around Xiangguo Temple, and the area was not small.

Song Jiu curiously went over and asked, "Brother Ya, what are you demolishing the houses for?" ”

"Your Majesty has an edict to expand Xiangguo Temple."

"Expansion of Xiangguo Temple?" Song Jiu couldn't help but wonder, according to what he knew about Zhao Kuangyin, he still had some understanding of the harm of Buddhism, it was not that Buddhism was bad, but once it was eroded, it would definitely be bad. Some of the meanings of Chai Rong's destruction of the Buddha are extremely progressive, otherwise there will be 100,000 fewer households in the Song Dynasty now!

Even Zhao Kuangyin listened to his own opinion and sent a few monks to Jiangnan to confuse Li Yu. He also heard one thing, Zhao Kuangyin went south to conquer Li Chongjin, and after the victory, the class returned to the court, and the city sergeants and people raised the city to greet each other, but none of the monks of the Imperial Academy in the city came out to greet them. Zhao Kuangyin was a little unhappy, and sent Zhao Pu to inquire, if these big monks were really concentrating on cultivation, it would be fine, they were monks who did not recognize their families, and they were masters outside the world, but the result of Zhao Pucha was that these monks were all drinking and having fun. Zhao Kuangyin was furious when he heard the news, and dragged these monks here, and the monk Huiwen beat them to death with sticks in public, and Qiong Yin and others were exiled to remote areas after being beaten with countless sticks.

Coupled with the faint legend between Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Kuan, at least Song Jiu was given an image, and Zhao Kuangyin was a Buddha lifter. And it seems that Buddhism in the Song Dynasty is too erosive in history, and the great monks are extremely greedy, cleverly grabbing, seizing people's land, obstructing water conservancy, lending usury, and openly saying that money is like honey, including the great monks of Shaolin Temple. It can't be forbidden, so Wang Anshi simply collected the monk's money.

I don't know when Ludao Buddhism raised its head, did Zhao Kuangyin change his mind?

When Song Jiu was puzzled, Pan Li'er poked her head out of a carriage and shouted, "Bad guy, I'm here." ”

Song Jiu turned his head to see that Pan Li'er was poking her head out, and the car curtain was also opened, and there was no one else in it except Pan Li'er, including Yahuan. Song Jiu walked over, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Pan Niangzi, are you out of the city or in the city?" (To be continued......)
