And now there are many more people in the Yukon than in later generations, because it is at the end of the gold rush, and there are many crazy speculators stationed here.

Li Yaoyang immediately decided to open a special line for wine delivery in Yukon, also to catch up with this last period of popularity and make a lot of money, but he will not be able to earn it in a few years.

"We must pay attention to safety in this line, and at present, we should be the only ones who pay attention to this channel, and we can monopolize it for as long as we can."

"Don't worry, Brother Yang, I'll keep an eye on this line personally, and when I can go to the ground, I'll run the second trip, the first batch of wine will be sold out in a short time, God knows how much those gold diggers need spirits, and they don't want to die if they spend money!" Xiao Qi said with emotion.

"Surely, the gold rush in the cold and cold won't last long without the spirits to warm them up, and in fact I'd love to know how they survived the long winter before our wine was sold."

Xiao Qi shrugged his shoulders:

"For warmth, low-quality alcohol sells well in the local area, and they know how to warm up through activities, hey, you know, women are indispensable over there, and Kang Dongliang is also in the skin and meat business!"

He laughed evilly and said:

"By the way, Brother Yang, there are gold diggers over there who ask for stronger wine, is there a way for Albert to do it?"

"Stronger wine? Vodka? Li Yaoyang thought for a while: "I'll talk to Albert, I don't know if he can make it." ”

Many people have always believed that vodka was born from polar bears, but there is also a theory that vodka was born in Poland, and vodka is considered a national symbol in both countries.

In both countries, the debate over who invented vodka first has not stopped for centuries.

Vodka has an important economic and social position in these places, and for centuries it has also been responsible for enriching the treasury.

There is a saying that vodka is known as the water of life, which shows the meaning of its existence.

Vodka is the clearest alcoholic beverage, it is as clear as water.

But this complete and complete clarity is not innate, it is the result of its own unique evolution.

The development direction of other alcoholic beverages is to have a complex taste, to find the best storage conditions and the ideal decanter.

Unlike whiskey, vodka pursues clarity and refinement.

Regardless of the style, the clarity and purity of vodka has not changed.

The difference between vodkas, first of all, is determined by the style and tradition of the brand, and secondly, it is also a historical heritage.

Because each country and region has left its own deep mark on the taste and form of this drink.

The Russian word "Vodka" has the same root word as the Polish word "Wodka", which means a small amount of water.

In ancient polar bears, the first mention of "vodka" in the literature was in the chronicles of Nizhny Novgorod in 1533, which means "medicine".

Use it to scrub wounds, take it to reduce headaches.

Two centuries later the word "vodka" appeared in official documents, decreed by Catherine I in 1751.

At this point, it already has the meaning of a strong alcoholic beverage.

And in Poland, the word "Wodka" appeared in the 18th century, and the strong alcohol of 70 degrees, which was three distilled, was called okowita (similar to the Latin aqua Vitae).

When it is diluted to 30%-40% with water, it is called "prostawoda" (ordinary water), and its abbreviation wodka becomes the final name.

It wasn't until the 19th century that the term vodka was widely used, because even in the encyclopedias of the end of the 19th century, the term "Vino" (liquor) was used more than the term "vodka".

Why does Poland claim that vodka originated in itself?

In the past, Poland was the gateway for Genoese merchants to the Nordic countries, along with German doctors and alchemists from other countries.

Therefore, it is only natural that Poland is one of the birthplaces of vodka.

People there began to learn about alcohol probably around the 12th century.

However, its use was limited to alchemy for a long time, which was the kind of precious and rare medicine that was 'boundless magic' at that time.

But as technology improved, more emphasis was placed on the taste and texture of herbs, spices and fruits.

With their widespread popularity, this alcohol potion became liquor.

It is estimated that it was probably in the 15th century that the first drinkable liquor appeared, a type of soju, which was around the same time as Cognac appeared in the Netherlands and France.

The inventors of vodka waited until the 15th century, when advances in distillation technology allowed people to distill their lower alcohol with a lower alcohol content directly over fire.

But before the success of this wine, the state had a monopoly because of the profits from buying and selling it, and only the nobles who paid taxes were allowed to make wine.

Driven by profits, and by the vast amount of arable land that could provide the raw materials needed for winemaking, including the necessary rye, Poland gradually became a center of winemaking.

Polish wine is exported throughout Europe, from France to Russia, to the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Moldova, Ukraine and the Black Sea coast.

At that time, the wine trade played a crucial role in the Polish national economy.

In the 18th century, there was a winemaking boom in Poland, and large and small wineries were built in towns and villages.

Each house has its own recipe and chooses different scents and aging methods.

This golden period of development soon gave way to industrial production, which played a decisive role in influencing the stylistic characteristics of Polish vodka.

From this period, Polish vodka has developed a wide range of flavors and aromas, which make up the characteristics of Polish vodka.

In the 19th century, technological progress was rapid, and the government also had a great influence on the vodka manufacturing industry. On the one hand, the taxation of vodka restricts the production of large factories and restricts the production of small workshops, because it is more cost-effective to buy vodka produced by large factories than to brew it yourself.

On the other hand, a large number of restrictive laws put an end to the previous distillation boom.

After the defeat of Napoleon, the Russian Tsar ruled Poland.

Fearing that the consumption of vodka would affect the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, he ordered a ban on the sale of alcohol with an alcohol content higher than 46 degrees, a ban on the sale of alcohol in public places, and a ban on the sale of alcohol to people who were already drunk.

While vodka production has decreased, its quality has improved, mainly due to technological advances.

In the history of Polish vodka, there has been a lot of competition between producers.

This competition has led to a wide variety of vodkas, and has left many classic vodkas today, such as Viborova vodka, which can be varied in a variety of flavors.

There is also Zhuborovka, which has the scent of bison grass, which is also a good example of the rich imagination of the Poles.

Later, Polish vodka could be drunk on its own or made into a cocktail.

It retains the original flavor well and borrows a little from other flavors, and the taste is perfectly defined.

This is also the reason why they are often seen as high-quality beverages in later years.

And the polar bear aristocracy who emigrated after the October Revolution made vodka famous all over the world.

In New York, in Paris, in luxury hotels on the banks of the Razor River, Russian immigrants drinking vodka and celebrating the holidays are an integral part of their distinctive lifestyle.

The history of the production of alcohol in polar bears, or the appearance of vodka in Moscow, is still inconclusive.

Nine centuries ago, the inhabitants of the region drank honey, which is fermented honey water, beer and various other fermented beverages.

Polar bear people recognized strong alcohol probably no earlier than 1386.

At that time, merchants from Genoa showed the great nobles of Moscow the "water of life" distilled liquor one by one.

However, they did not divulge the secret of its brewing.

This rare drink was sold in equal weight of gold, and the "eaux-de-vie" became a luxury item exclusively for the consumption of the Russian tsars and nobles.

In the 15th century, a Russian religious delegation came to Italy to participate in the Ecumenical Council, the Synod of Christian High Bishops.

Some historians believe that it was during this visit to Italy that Russian monks learned the art of distillation in Italian monasteries and brought it back to Moscow.

Other scholars believe that around the same time, foreign soldiers who served in the tsarist army were also engaged in winemaking.

At the beginning of the 16th century, alcohol was used for medicinal purposes throughout Europe.

But vodka soon became widely used and became an integral part of Russian life.

It was because of its success that the Russian Tsar constantly tried to tightly control its production and sales.

Vodka became a state monopoly, which is indisputably reflected in its taste and character.

In the middle of the 16th century, the polar bears were only allowed to sell wine in the royal tavern set up by Ivan the Terrible and supervised by officials.

Thanks to technological advances, the quality of vodka improved greatly in the 17th century.

The first distilleries with two or three stills were produced, producing distilled spirits in several steps.

Some of the breweries are state-run and some are private, but the wine is sold to the state.

This phenomenon continued until 1755, when the winemaking franchise was granted to the aristocracy.

The breweries of the landlords were generally only active in winter, using copper stills that were popular in Europe at the time.

These stills are expensive because the copper in them is worth more than what is in the coin.

At that time, a dignitary invented the family recipe for vodka, and various methods of incense sticks, which were made from herbs, fruits, and plant roots that are still used today.

For example, there was a custom that was in vogue at that time: the collection of all skewered vodka with a name in alphabetical order, from ouzo (which begins with the first letter of the Russian alphabet) to cider (which begins with the last letter of the Russian alphabet).

In the first half of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution gradually drove the home-based craft breweries of the landlords out of the market.

Noble families continued to brew vodka, but the purpose had changed to supply the family for consumption within their domains.

In the 19th century, the industrialization of the brewing industry was very rapid, especially in the polar bear.

Due to the growing alcoholism among the people, the polar bear authorities have issued new tax policies and decrees.

Thanks to government incentives for technological transformation and the imposition of high production standards, the quality and purity of alcohol have been greatly improved.

In 1895 it was decreed that alcohol must be distilled and filtered through a layer of charcoal. This decree played an important role in the evolution of vodka's taste, which basically formed its current character – pure, clear and translucent.

At that time, vodka was used for a wide range of purposes: just as it was used as a drink, it was also used for medicinal and skin care purposes.

In 1534, Stephen? Falimiz, a Polish herbalist, counted 72 different herbaceous vodkas from a pharmaceutical encyclopedia, and clearly explained their best distillation methods and medicinal uses.

The belief in the healing properties of vodka continued into the 19th century, as evidenced by the following words:

"In Poland, if you want to be a healthy person, you don't need drugs or doctors, you just need to get drunk twice a year, once in May and once in October."

The first vodka distilleries to deserve such an honor appeared in the 17th century and were established by aristocrats.

The distillery consists of several workshops, a cellar for the storage of malt, wooden barrels and, of course, the soul of the distillation industry, which is essential for the distillery: the open flame still.

The distillery is always built close to the water source or next to the river, and the water is filtered into the pool, which is made of gravel, tiles, birch charcoal and sand. Swedish copper stills are the best.

The brewing process is distilled three times.

First, a liquid with an alcohol content of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius is obtained, and then the alcohol content is continuously increased to 70%, and then the alcohol concentration is reduced to the desired alcohol level of vodka using purified water that has been filtered in advance.

The seemingly simple distillation on the surface does not limit the creativity of the producers, on the contrary, they greatly enrich the methods of making vodka.

Some manufacturers use agitators to prevent the liquid from sticking to the bottom of the still or from being burned.

Others have come up with a way to steam vodka, which is to let the steam pass through a basket filled with grass and berries.

These noble vodkas are usually very elaborate liquors.

But with the industrialization of manufacturing and the end of aristocratic privileges and the advent of new taxes, this vodka gradually disappeared.

The composition of the early vodka was very similar, and the earliest Russian vodka was obtained from the leftovers of making bread.

During this time, a beer can be obtained, which is distilled to make it cloudy, i.e. an unripe and highly acidic liquor with an alcohol content of 30%.

Later, with the development of technology, rye and other grains became alternative raw materials.

In Poland too, the main ingredient for vodka is rye.

But sometimes barley, wheat or oats are also used.

Poland also benefits from the abundance of grains that produce vodka, and its prices are lower than those of other European countries.

Poland also exported surplus grain to the Netherlands, France, Scotland and Scandinavia.

It is more advantageous to make vodka in cold countries, and the quality of the grain plays a key role.

In cold countries, the starch content of cereals has improved due to harsh and long winters that come too early.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
