Chapter 209, three steamed wines, five steamed poisons

Huang Gai saw it right, today, it was the time when Fang Guang was in the mansion, probably made the prototype of the still, and was about to go out of the city to steam the first pot of high-grade liquor of the Han Dynasty.

Fang Guang was reminded by Xiao Qiao that day that he wanted to develop financial resources, and it took a few days to have Xiaocheng.

The whole of Xuchang is now a huge construction site, with bamboo and wood, ox carts, all over the city.

Fang Guang relied on his face and borrowed 30,000 pieces of wheat and millet from Xiahoudun, the chief manager of Cao Cao's side.

He knew that if he spoke again, Xiahou Yuanrang would probably be a duty crime.

From beginning to end, Xiahoudun has taken out 80,000 grains of rice, which is not easy.

The two have known each other for a long time and have a strong relationship, Xiahoudun believes in Fang Guang the most, he originally thought that the grain and rice were mainly for the construction of Xuchang and were temporarily moved.

Waited until the end, Xiahou Dun, who asked a lot of questions.

Only then did I know that Fang Guang wanted to take out some of these grains and use them to make wine.

On that day, Cao Xing's bow and arrows were shot, and they were all Xiahoudun who did not change his face, and after listening to Fang Guang's words, he was instantly in the courtyard of the inner library, and his face was as white as paper.

The world is in turmoil, how precious is food? I heard that in Xuzhou, those who are tyrannical and extravagant like Lu Bu are strictly forbidden to drink wine and enjoy it, but I didn't expect that Fang Guang asked for food for the sake of appetite.

Xiahoudun, who looked at the grain cart and went away, wanted to cry without tears, knowing that if there was no explanation for this matter, Cao Cao would come back and suffer immediately.

Xuchang is located in the plain, to the north of the place of thirty miles, there are several hills, although low, but there are natural valleys, is in the tuyere, is a good place to strike iron and burn fire.

Commander Fang Guang has already explored the terrain around Xuchang several times, and in his heart, this place is the smelting center of Xuchang and even Yuzhou in the future.

Now, the still can be operated in the valley first.

Fang Guangnan came, and in order to cool off that day, the tangram fan made in Cangtingjin also transported a few with him.

The distiller should be on fire, the smelting should be on fire, and the blast is the top priority, and these tangram fans, driving the skin, have become a temporary expedient measure.

Fang Guang's positioning of Zhao Yun was that he was a general on the side of the army, and Zilong's health was much better, so Fang Guang asked him to recruit the strong people among the people of Yuzhou, thinking that the headquarters was a part of the army, and the camp was in the south of Xuchang.

The selection of the front cavalry is the foundation of this department, and Guan Hai is a cavalry general, after all, he is still a little uncontrollable.

Historically, Guan Hai has an instinctive terror for Zhao Zilong, this leading position, the greasy man in the yellow scarf, without the slightest hesitation, gave it to Zilong, and he himself went back and continued to be Fang Guang's personal lieutenant.

Fang Guang, Guan Hai, Gan Ning, and Liyi, together with Liu Ye, Xu Shu, Meng Shi, and the second duke, took the three daughters, but in half an hour, they came to the valley.

The craftsmen who came here a few days ago have already completed the prototype of the distiller.

The key component of the still is the wooden barrel containing the koji, which must not leak air or wine.

Dongjun County Guard, Xuchang Construction Manager, dressed in a white robe today, Fang Guang stood in front of a wine barrel that was taller than him, carefully rubbing the bamboo pipe, checking the curved condensate copper pipe, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Good, good, good, thirty miles of land, this huge, thing, and made in my house, tightly fitted, Ziyang's project control, it's really rare!"

Fang Guang's available craftsmen were all familiar with Liu Ye's side at this time.

The man who created the big head was praised by Fang Guang, and his cheeks suddenly turned red, and his face was full of joy.

Compared with Cao Cao's praise, in Liu Ye's heart, Fang Guang's praise made him more complacent.

Although Liu Ye didn't understand engineering control, he also guessed that this was an important skill in construction, and Fang Guang's meticulous exploration was the quality of a top craftsman that Liu Ye had seen a lot.

"Put the koji in the steaming barrel, light the fire and pour the wind, and when the boiling water overflows here, and the bamboo pipe flows out, it is the best wine!"

"Accumulate this wine, pour the wine into the steaming barrel, and so on, three steaming is a rare wine in the world, and above the five steaming, it is a highly toxic thing, and it is also the essence of the wine required for perfume!"

The truth of the distiller, Fang Guang has already explained it clearly to Xu Shu, Liu Ye and others in his own mansion.

At this time, it is the craftsman who serves on one side.

With the ignition of the furnace, the huge tangram fan at the mouth of the valley pulled the guide cable connected by the animal meridians, pulled the huge blower, the blower opened and closed, the wind poured into the furnace, and the flames that soared to the sky suddenly soared nearly half a zhang.

The scene in the valley, under the background of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was quite fantastical, making Fang Guang's civil and military forces instantly feel the power of natural science and fall silent.

Liu Ye had never been to Dongjun, and when he looked at the tangram fan, tears almost flowed from his eyes, and he couldn't stop muttering in his mouth.

"This is Cangting academics, full of cangs, the heavens descend to Datong, it is the blessing of my great man!"

The big-headed man's heartfelt words made the corners of Fang Guang's mouth curle.

"This still steames liquor, the flame temperature is not high, and it does not show the sharpness of the blower, this time, I am also experimenting with this thing!"

"Blast furnace smelting copper and iron, temperature is too important, when the time comes, Mount Tai's toner, iron ore transported here, I want to see, is Xuchang fast knife sharp, or Hebei heavy armor!"

"I heard that the Xiliang horse family, there are heavy iron horses, and there are more white generals, when the time comes, bring the sacrificial knife together!"

Fang Guang was murderous, and after a few words, the blacksmith who was waiting by the fire became excited.

"My lord, my lord really understands the way of smelting, the fire is good, the steel is good, the steel is good, the knife and gun are good, this fire, I have been waiting for the furnace door for decades, or the first time I saw it, doped with toner, it can play ten refining flower knives!"

The flower knife in the blacksmith's mouth is the same as the blade made of Damascus steel in later generations.

In the land of Kyushu, the hundred refining knives of the Sui and Tang dynasties in later generations are also average.

Fang Guang looked up at the sky, his face full of pride.

"What are the Ten Refinements? In the future, a hundred refinements, thousands of refinements in Xuchang, can be regarded as a treasure sword! ”

"How profound is the way of smelting? Cangting is in the first vein, studying this way, at least three years before it becomes a small success, and when those students come out, the world will be different again! ”

While Fang Guang and the blacksmith were talking, the steaming barrel was boiling, and the copper tube condenser, a drop of water droplets, dripped onto the ground.

Fang Guang stretched out alone, took a drop of water and tasted it, there was no smell of wine, and he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

This is exactly what the distillation of the sake looks like.

Behind Fang Guang, Cai Yan was juxtaposed with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and Mrs. Fang saw Xianggong, like a greedy child, thinking of what happened last night, she was even more proud and shy and talked about the topic of girls with the two Jiangdong companions.

In the sound of chirping, the first drop of distilled liquor finally slowly flowed out of the bamboo pipe. The refreshing aroma of wine filled the valley in a moment, making Gan Ning, Guan Hai, and Liyi, who were full of confusion, grin together.
