Seeing that Qingji was so interested in the wine he offered, the cadre couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "King, this jar of wine is brewed by a winemaker from Zheng Guo. ”

"The king's order to seek merit, it is clear that the elders who have a skill can be used by the Wu Kingdom."

"This winemaker from Zheng Guolai, since he entered Wu, has also been thinking and meditating, and after many experiments, he has made such fine wines."

After a pause, the cadre said: "The secret of the brewing process of this wine lies in the 'virgin'. ”

“……”

Qingji was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "What does this have to do with virginity?" ”

"The king doesn't know."

The cadre was still playing with the "ink" he had just learned, and the god chattered: "Since ancient times, we have paid attention to the harmony of yin and yang, and the brewing of koji has paid more attention to the 'harmony of yin and yang'." ”

"Women are 'yin' and men are 'yang'."

"Heaven is yang for the trigram, for the heaven and earth to the yang is the trigram, and the virgin is the treasure of the heaven and earth to the yin......"

"The wine that the king drinks at the right time is exactly 'Virgin Stepping Song'!"

"The feet of *** are the yin in the yin for the kun hexagram, the wheat and other grains used to make koji, and the treasures of the earth yin spirit are also the kun hexagrams."

"Stepping on the wine koji for the first time will make the yin and yang qi blend in the wine koji, and achieve the harmony of yin and yang, the way of heaven and man."

it!

Wait, doesn't that mean that the wine that the widow just drank was trampled on by the girl's feet?

Qingji has some diaphragm, but it is not unacceptable.

The cadre said with great interest: "King, after washing her feet with flowers, the young woman stood in the box and kept stepping on the raw materials of koji with her feet. ”

"It is rumored that a young, innocent, and elegant young woman can make the song light, clean, and ......"

What kind of fallacy is this?

Can Qingji be believed?

In ancient times, not only to make koji, but also to pick tea and mulberry, they all liked to use girls.

And it's not that I like unmarried girls, but virgins, unmarried girls.

Why?

Probably because in ancient times, many wines and teas belonged to the imperial products, which were specially supplied to the emperor or princely ministers, and many traditional crafts such as koji making and tea making needed to be completed by holy people.

So virginity has become a necessity for these traditional crafts.

"Zhuangzi Leisurely Travel" cloud: The mountain of contempt and shooting, there are gods and men living in it, the skin is like ice and snow, and it is like a virgin.

Su Shi also said: Thin bamboo is like a ghost, and a flower is like a virgin.

In ancient times, the so-called virgin body was a very sacred and holy existence.

In the eyes of men, virgins are pure, and they are all messengers of heaven who have not yet been mortal.

As Jia Baoyu said, they are flesh and bones made of water, with natural fragrance and natural aura.

In fact, Qingji also knows that there is a scientific basis for stepping on koji:

When the virgin washes his feet with flowers, he stands on the box and keeps stepping on the wheat with his feet until the koji is well done.

"Koji is the bone of wine", a large number of microorganisms grow on koji, and the enzymes secreted by microorganisms have biological catalysts to accelerate the decomposition of starch into sugar.

Sugars are broken down into ethanol by the action of bacterial enzymes.

Although the ancient people did not understand science, they were very cultured.

Making a debut koji can make the wine itself more storytelling, mysterious, cultural and interesting.

If you let others know that it was a group of aunts who stepped on the koji, it is estimated that no one will buy the best wine.

And virginity symbolizes purity, and everyone will rush to buy it.

It's the same as Qingji's previous life, which caused a stir on the Internet, "what noodles for a certain dish in a certain jar".

If a big man or a middle-aged woman steps on sauerkraut, there may be cigarette butts mixed in the sauerkraut......

Who has the appetite to eat this?

Although, it tastes quite delicious.

It is worth mentioning that the "national liquor" of Qingji's previous life seems to be made in this way.

It's a gimmick!

"Very good."

Qingji nodded in agreement and said, "In the future, this wine can be the imperial wine and national wine of my Wu country." ”

"The king is wise!"

The cadre smiled flatteringly and said, "King, please give this wine a name." ”

"Name...... Celebration of alcohol. ”

“……”

Isn't that cheesy?

Qingji used his own name to name this fine wine?

The cadre hurriedly patted his ass, kowtowed, and said, "King Shengming!" This wine will be passed down to future generations with the king and sung for eternity! ”

This mustache is very good.

Qingji is quite useful.

"King, this is a celebration...... Fine wine, I wonder if it should be produced in large quantities? ”

The cadre asked curiously.

In front of Qingji, where do the cadres dare to call him by his name?

This can be said to be taboo.

"It doesn't have to be mass-produced."

Qingji waved his hand and said, "Scarcity is expensive. Qingji wine, every year, can only produce ninety-nine jars! ”

"No!"

The truth that scarcity is expensive, how can Qingji not know?

No matter how delicious the drink is, once it is overflowing, it is worthless!

It is conceivable that this Qingji wine will definitely become the imperial wine and national wine of Wu in the future.

Famous all over the world, through the ages!

How can this gimmick be let go?

It must be the one that is worth a thousand gold and has no price.

In addition to drinking it for himself, he can also reward meritorious officials, or his own concubines, or the monarchs of other countries.

"The king, the court captain asks to see!"

Just when Qingji and the cadres were discussing the construction of the Wu Palace, Jiao Slip suddenly entered the Zide Hall and said.

Bo Guy?

Qingji waved his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

"No!"

After a while, Bo Yan covered one eye, bent his body, and walked in aggrievedly like a bullied little daughter-in-law.

"Uncle Chen, see the king!"

Bo Yu hurriedly saluted towards Qingji.

In the middle of this, Qingji saw his dark blue and black eyes.

Black eye?

Panda eyes indeed.

However, this is not a panda eye that stays up all night, but a panda eye that is punched out by someone's fist!

What's the situation?

Qingji asked suspiciously, "Bo Yu, who are you?" ”

Bo "plopped", knelt on the floor, and howled: "King! You have to be the master of the ministers! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"It's Goujian! Gou trampled that vertical man and beat the minister! ”

"Gou Jian?"

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

This is so good, how could Gou Jian beat Bo Jiao?

Since the fall of the Yue Kingdom, Gou Jian has been staying under the command of Qingji, repeatedly making military exploits, holding back, and showing his most loyal side.

Who is Gou Jian?

That's a ruthless character who can lie down and taste the gall, and then taste the dung for Wu Wangfu, and then the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu.

In Gou Dao, there are no more people who can be compared with Gou Jian than Sima Yi, Han Xin, and Liu Bang.

Zhou Wen Wang Jichang may be counted as one.

is a character like Gou Jian, how can he not help but beat Bo Biao?

I saw Bo Biao hiding his face with his sleeves, as if he had been greatly wronged, and cried: "King, you don't know. ”

"The minister fell in love with a tea picker and wanted to accept her as a concubine, but unexpectedly, he stepped in and wanted to rob the tea picker with the minister, isn't it reasonable?"

"I was not convinced, and I argued with him, but he punched him a few times!"

"Your Majesty, you must be the master of your courtiers! Severe punishment for Goujian! ”
