Chapter 32 Heavenly Cauldron Brewing Method

This "tengaku sake brewing method", which appeared more than 1,000 years later, has been passed down for thousands of years in the world where Xin Youyou lived.

However, because of the different times, the "heavenly pot" on it can only be replaced by pottery.

The original heavenly cauldron was topped by a tin pot with better thermal conductivity.

So Xin also has no bottom in his heart, whether such a method is feasible or not.

When it comes to the tengaku brewing method, it's actually very easy to stay away.

The boiling point of wine is lower than that of water.

The sake in the "underground pot" below will turn into "wine steam" when preheated

The steam rises and quickly condenses into small droplets when it encounters the "heavenly pot" filled with cold water.

Small drops of wine fell down the bottom of the cauldron until it reached the middle of the bottom of the cauldron.

Directly below the cauldron is a small container that collects these droplets and flows them down the bamboo pipes that are connected to them.

This liquid is pure distilled spirit.

Xin lit the flame below, and the liquor inside began to steam.

As the temperature rises, some transparent liquid begins to fall into the bamboo tube.

In the process of distillation, there are three stages in total.

Before the temperature reaches the boiling point of the wine, there will be some low-boiling substances and aldehydes that come out first, which is the first stage of the wine, which has a spicy taste but no aroma, and is called the head.

As the temperature rises to the boiling point of the alcohol, the "droplets" fall, which is the best of the pot wines, with a mellow taste and a high alcohol content.

As the temperature rises, the water vapor gradually rises, and the alcohol content of this sake decreases, and the flavor is not as strong as in the second stage.

Because it was the initial stage, Xin had no way to perfectly control the dividing line of each paragraph.

If you can achieve the craftsmanship of later generations, you can accurately control the time of each period, and it is not a dream to make a second pot head.

Soon, a small cup was filled with droplets of distilled liquor.

Xin quickly picked up the glass again, and the wine inside was tinged with a faint yellow.

This is exactly the color of millet wine.

And this glass of wine is already extremely clear, without a trace of impurities at all.

It is said that it is a former wine, and no one doubts it at all.

Xin tasted it again, and was surprised to find that the taste was not as spicy and pungent as expected.

Immediately, he understood why.

In later generations of distilled spirits, the lees were placed in a steamer, and various impurities and alcohols in the lees were distilled out first.

So the taste is pungent and the wine taste is bland.

However, Xin distilled the brewed liquor directly, and the taste of the first stage of the liquor was acceptable.

The second and third stages of liquor are distilled.

At this time, the water in the heavenly pot is still not boiling.

No way, this is a clay pot, and the thermal conductivity is not good.

However, the wine in front of him was actually distilled.

There is no impurity, and the quality is comparable to that of fine sake.

As for the taste, since Shin has never drunk sake, it is impossible to determine which is stronger or weaker.

However, he was sure that the distilled liquor had a higher alcohol content than the brewed yellow rice wine.

There is no problem with the evaluation of the old wine.

"Wei, come here." Xin beckoned again.

Wei walked over with small steps, and Xin took her another clay cup.

"Taste it."

"I ...... I don't drink alcohol. ”

Wei said hurriedly, and pushed Xin You away with both hands in a panic.

"One cup, it's okay." Xin laughed again.

Wei trembled and stretched out her ten fingers and gently grasped the pottery cup.

This is a pottery cup designed by Xin according to the wine cup of later generations, but I didn't expect Fan Dou to make it like a certain decent.

"Gentleman, this smell...... Ahem. ”

Before the wine could be eaten, Wei frowned.

"It's okay, the wine tastes like this."

"Good ......"

For Xin You's orders, Wei never dared to disobey.

She closed her eyes, frowned, and tilted her head to pour a glass of wine.

A beautiful flush rushed down Wei Swan's neck to her face, and when she put down the wine glass, Wei's face was already red.

"Haha! How is this wine? ”

Xin said again and poured himself a glass.

"Gentleman...... I...... It's so dizzy......"

Wei's breath was short, her hand was on her forehead, and her feet were already shaking.

"Isn't it, is it really that bad?"

Xin quickly stood up again and helped Wei.

Wei's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were already foggy.

"Gentleman ......"

Wei's lips opened slightly, as if she was about to say something, but she fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

"Lack of exercise." Xin shook his head helplessly, picked up Wei, and walked to the inner room.

I have to say that Wei is the kind of beauty that is one in a hundred.

Her arms wrapped tightly around Xin You's neck, and her warm snort stimulated Xin You's face.

Let Xin feel a ripple in his heart again.

"Lie down......"

Xin put Wei on the bed again.

Wei's hand was still holding Xin You's neck.

"Auntie, I'm afraid ......"

Wei said in a daze.

“…… I've been dreaming about it......"

Xin took Wei's hand again and took it away from her neck.

“……”

At the moment when he held Wei's hands, Xin was silent again.

Those hands were supposed to be beautiful, they were supposed to be soft.

But Wei's hands were rough and cold, and there were some cracks on the backs of their hands.

Those are all hands that can only be done all year round.

Xin put Wei's hand on her chest again, and then stood up.

Although she was wearing a long linen dress, the moment she lay down, it perfectly outlined the curves of her figure.

If he was born in the next life, he would not have done such a rough job just based on Wei's appearance.

After settling Vivian into place, Sheen returned to the hall.

The fire under the cauldron was still burning, and Xin was full of interest, continuing to study his distilled spirits.

Today's experiments are only the beginning.

It takes many attempts to get the best time to distill a first-class liquor.

It was already completely dark, and only the hall of Xin You, there were bursts of fire.

……

Early the next morning, Wei woke up from her sleep.

Her mind was clear, and although she was a little sore in some places, she felt extremely comfortable all over her body.

"Ahh How do I sleep here! ”

Wei was so frightened that she quickly got up and looked around, but she didn't see Xin You.

She cautiously walked out, only to see Xin wrapped in a quilt again, sitting upright in front of the cauldron.

"You're awake." Shin didn't look back.

"Gentleman, I'm damned......" Wei quickly knelt down.

"What do you say, I stayed up all night, I was too sleepy." Xin yawned again: "I've already made these wines, you seal them all up and put them away, remember to move the heavenly cauldron to my room, so that no one else can find out." ”

With that, Xin walked into the room again and fell asleep.

Wei smelled a rich aroma of wine, as well as bamboo slips all over the ground.

"Gentleman, what the hell are you doing...... Wei wondered in her heart.
