Chapter 71: Spirits Out
Chapter 71 The liquor came out [in the midst of a headache, barely rushed out of the manuscript, begging for support......]
"I don't know how it makes sake here, and I don't have the right tools around me, so I have to use the most primitive methods to make it. There are two original methods of brewing, one is fermented liquor, which produces low-alcohol liquor, and the other is distilled liquor, which produces high-strength liquor. Since you like to drink spirits, I'll try it and see if I can make some high-strength liquor by distillation. I think that since sake can be made here, there should be no problem in making high-grade sake by distillation. Shui Rourou said with a smile.
"If it's in the Xiangguang Federation, as long as there are enough energy blocks and a drink synthesizer, you can drink whatever kind of wine you want, how can it be so troublesome? It is necessary to prepare various raw materials, and there is still a long waiting time for brewing. ”
"Using the distillation method to brew high-grade liquor, this method has only been seen from the data, if you want to really brew it, I'm afraid it will take a while to experiment, in a short period of time, I'm afraid it will be impossible to brew, and for the improvement of the magic cannon, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a while." Shui Rourou said with some distress.
"If you really can't do it, let's go all out to defeat the magic cannon first, anyway, it's not like there is no wine to drink, and you can deal with it for a while first." Shi Feng said with a smile. He hadn't gotten to the point where he couldn't recognize the priorities, and he could tell which was important.
"Now I just have a preliminary idea of improving the magic cannon, and I don't know how to improve it exactly. I'll be responsible for the improvement of the magic cannon, anyway, it's just to analyze the working principle of the magic cannon, and then there is to select the right magic array from the magic array materials copied by the Alchemist Guild, both of which are not very urgent, but it takes a lot of time, I can solve it by myself, or let Sister Rourou help you find a way to brew some high bars, I think as long as there is a suitable brewing method, there is no problem in brewing high wine. Shui Rourou hadn't spoken yet, but Fang Yongyong had spoken first.
"It's okay, I don't think it will take much time to make a high-grade sake, but you'll have to work a little harder during this time." Shui Rourou looked at Fang Yongyong and said.
"It's nothing, we have a lot of time anyway, take your time." Fang Yongyong said nonchalantly.
"Thank you so much, I don't know what to say, you have worked hard, you say, what kind of gift do you want, I will buy it for you tomorrow." Hearing the conversation between Shui Rourou and Fang Yongyong, Shi Feng said very movingly. He knew very well in his heart that improving the magic energy cannon would definitely not be as simple as Fang Yongyong said, otherwise, there would not be so many people in the Bright Empire who wanted to improve the magic energy cannon since the invention of the magic energy cannon but never succeeded, so he had to give up helplessly.
"We're companions, why are we so polite, but if you insist on buying us gifts, we won't object." Shui Rourou said with a smile. "I remember we've been together for so long, and it seems like you haven't bought us a decent gift."
"It's not too late to buy it. I'll buy it for you tomorrow, and I'll make sure you're satisfied. Shi Feng said with some embarrassment. Shui Rourou is not wrong, they have been together for so long, and they really haven't bought them a decent gift.
"Then we'll be waiting for your gift." Shui Rourou said with a smile. "Now, let me tell you about the raw materials used in distilled spirits."
"The raw materials of distilled spirits are generally rich in natural sugars, or starches and other substances that are easily converted into sugar, about these materials, I think as long as you inquire a little, you can inquire, because in the Bright Empire, there will definitely be no shortage of materials for brewing wine, I think these materials should not cost much, you can buy more back, and then ferment these winemaking materials, and wait until they are completely fermented, they can be put into a special container to heat, and use the different boiling points of alcohol and water to cool the steam with a cooling system, The first to come out is the so-called high sake. If you like different aromas, you can also add some fruits and the like when distilling, and different kinds of aromas will appear. Shui Rourou explained the process of brewing high-grade sake.
"The problem of raw materials is easy to solve, and it is easy to solve the problem of distillers, as long as the general materials, plus a few magic arrays, it should also be easy to solve, but if you want to ferment the raw materials, it is very troublesome, but I think it should be easy to solve. I estimate that in half a month, the first batch of high-grade liquor giants will almost come out. Shui Rourou estimated the production process for a while, and then said.
"It only takes such a short amount of time?" Shi Feng was very surprised and said, the time that Shui Rourou said was too short, in his opinion, it would take a few months.
"If it goes well, it may take less time, and I'm already saying that's a long time. It is not difficult to make sake, but as long as you grasp a few points, it is easy to make high-quality sake. Shui Rourou said proudly.
"It's getting late today, so I won't ask you to buy the raw materials for brewing, but you have to help us make the still, which will save us a lot of time, and I can free up more time to help Yongyong improve the magic cannon." Shui Rourou said, not caring at all whether the labor force that squeezed Shi Feng like this would make Shi Feng dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, I'll do it, there will definitely be no delay." Shi Feng patted his chest and promised.
The distiller is very simple, the largest is the cauldron that stores the raw materials for fermented sake, and then the lid that fits the cauldron tightly to ensure that when the cauldron is heated, the steam inside will not penetrate from other places. At the top of the lid is a pipe that connects to the outside world, and the heated steam flows out of the pipe, and then passes through the cooling system to condense into water, which is the brewed sake. At the beginning, the alcohol content is very high, but when you gradually combine it with the wine that comes out later, it will decrease the degree a little, and if you want a high degree of wine, you can start to flow out, and if you want a lower degree, you can wait a little longer.
The distiller for brewing wine is not complicated, with the help of alchemy, it didn't take too long for Shi Feng and the others to create a large still, if he used it to make wine, the high liquor produced in one day would be enough for Shi Feng to drink for several months. The reason why such a large still was made was that Shi Feng wanted to sell some of these wines, such a high degree of wine, someone would definitely like it, at that time, the gold coins came in an uproar, and he didn't have to worry about the gold coins anymore, and moreover, if there was more wine produced, he could also give it to others for publicity.
After making this large still, it was not too early, and the three of them cleaned up and went back to rest.
Early the next morning, Shi Feng left the Duke's Palace, went to Balu, asked him for help, found acquaintances, and saw which raw material was the best and cheaper, and he wanted to buy a large amount.
"What? Do you want to make wine? Not kidding, right? Hearing Shi Feng's intention, Balu said with a shocked face. He hadn't thought that Shi Feng and they would actually make wine.
"Yes, these wines are too light to my taste, and what kind of spirits do I like, that's what men drink." Shi Feng nodded and said.
"The two heavens of ice and fire on the first floor are already the strongest wine, you still say it's not strong enough, what kind of strong wine do you want? Do you want to drink the same wine as the dwarves, known as the Fire Knife? Balu looked at Pinnacle like a monster.
"Dwarves? Fire knives? How come I haven't heard of it? Shi Feng's face was full of doubts.
"Dwarves live in the mountains on the other side of the Empire, live underground, love to strike iron, and most of the high-quality weapons in the Empire are crafted by Dwarves. In addition to the dwarves who like to build weapons, they also like to drink, and they drink wine like knives, which are lit on fire, and no one wants to drink that kind of wine except the dwarves. Baloo explained. In the future, if you have the chance, you will meet the dwarves, and maybe even drink that kind of fire knife. I think that wine must be to your liking. ”
"I'm really looking forward to hearing you say that." Shi Feng said expectantly, he didn't expect that on this planet, there were still people who liked to drink spirits like him.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go buy those raw materials for brewing first, I know a few well-known grain merchants in Yanjing, it's still easy to buy a little brewing materials, I don't know how many raw materials you want to buy?" Baru asked.
"The more the merrier, I asked Shui Rourou and Fang Yongyong two alchemists to make a large wine-making machine, which can brew a large amount of spirits in one day, enough for me to drink for several months, but I can't drink it alone, so I want to give you some and keep some of it, so I will buy more at a time, and it will always be troublesome to save people, anyway, more brewing is also brewing, less brewing is also brewing, brewing more at a time, saving time to brew later." If someone likes it, I can sell some out, recently my gold coins are a little not enough to spend, I bought too many things, but I haven't made any money, and I don't want to make some money, I'm afraid I'll have to go to someone else's house to eat in the future. Shi Feng said with a smile.
"The problem of raw materials is on me, make sure you have enough raw materials, but when the wine is made, be sure to send me a little so that I can taste it." Baru said. As an alcoholic, if you see a drink and don't drink it, it's no different from killing him.
"Don't worry, no one can forget your share. I'm counting on you to help me get the word out. Shi Feng said with a smile. He had already made up his mind. Balu has been in Yanjing for so many years and has a wide range of contacts, so it will never be wrong to ask him to help promote it.
"No problem, as long as the wine is delicious, the propaganda will be wrapped up in me, I have been in Yanjing for so many years, and I still know some people." Balu said with a smile. "However, when the time comes, I can't ask for money when I go to drink."
"That's natural, it's okay to drink as much as you want, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink that much." Shi Feng said with a smile. The little wine that Balu drank was nothing at all, and if the spirits he brewed were really popular, then the gold he earned would be gone, and he didn't care about Balu's consumption at all.
Under the leadership of Balu, Shi Feng and Balu came to the largest grain trading house in Yanjing, Balu's face really worked, as soon as he opened his mouth, a large amount of grain was immediately produced, and the price was extremely low, and he also guaranteed to send these grains to Shi Feng's residence.
After paying a large amount of gold coins, Shi Feng and Balu left the grain trading house, but Shi Feng returned directly to the Duke's Palace to wait for the food to arrive, and Balu went to find the president of the Alchemist Guild, Larsen, and she had to tell Larsen about Shi Feng's winemaking, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be complained by Larsen.
The efficiency of the grain merchant house was really good, not long after Shi Feng arrived home, the delivery convoy of the merchant house arrived, the quantity was not bad at all, and all the grain was unloaded to the designated place, without letting Shi Feng bother a little.
"The raw materials have been bought, now it's up to you." Seeing Shui Rourou appear, Shi Feng said with a smile.
"No problem, I'll leave these things to me." Shui Rourou said confidently. "I'm afraid it will take a lot of time for me alone, and I need some people to help me."
"No problem, there are so many slaves in the house, you can use them as you like, if it's not enough, I'll go to the slave market to buy a batch back, and I promise to satisfy you." Shi Feng nodded and said. For the sake of his wine, he didn't care about any of these things.
"I'm afraid you really need to buy a batch of slaves, if you plan to sell this wine, you can't rely on these slaves in the mansion alone, they need to do other work." Shui Rourou nodded and said.
"I'm going to buy slaves, and I'll buy your gifts by the way." Shi Feng turned around and left, he hadn't forgotten the gift he had promised Shui Rourou and Fang Yongyong yesterday.
Soon, a group of dozens of slaves and two beautifully wrapped gift boxes were brought back by Shi Feng, and then handed over to Shui Rourou.
Shui Rourou, who received the gift, lived up to her expectations and instructed the newly purchased slaves to process the raw materials and let them ferment.
A few days later, these processed raw materials were all fermented, Shui Rourou nodded with satisfaction, and let the slaves pour these fermented raw materials into the still, and then sealed the cauldron, and activated the magic array under the cauldron, after the magic array was activated, a high-temperature flame was immediately emitted, heating the cauldron, and soon, the fermented raw materials in the cauldron began to gurgle, producing a large amount of steam, which was emitted outward along the channel on the lid, and after the cooling system in the middle of the channel, The steam condensed into drops of liquid, which then flowed out of the tunnel and dripped into the vats that had been prepared long ago.
Seeing the dripping liquid and smelling the familiar aroma of wine, Shi Feng knew that it had already come out, but he didn't know how strong it was.
"What a strong !!" Dipping his fingers into the wine dripping into the vat, Shi Feng tasted it and couldn't help but scream.
