Chapter 4 A cup of two pots, choking my tears

Ji Lie thought about it, anyway, he couldn't hide this matter from Zhang Changde, so he simply said generously,

"Lonely plans to make wine!"

Zhang Changde was slightly stunned, and then showed a disapproving expression on his face.

I originally thought that Ji Lie's stupid illness would be cured, but I didn't expect to go crazy again!

Anyway, let him toss it!

Zhang Changde's good impression of Ji Lie in his heart disappeared in an instant!

Ji Lie noticed Zhang Changde's expression, but just smiled, not bothering to explain anything.

With a wave of his hand, he asked Zhang Changde and the other servants in the courtyard to retreat first.

Youzhou is located in the north, and the weather has always been relatively cold.

Especially in the cold winter, sometimes the temperature can reach dozens of degrees below zero.

The most popular wine here is not the fruit wine of the south, but the fiery and stimulating spirit, which relieves the meridians and invigorates the blood and warms the body.

It's just that the brewing technology in the world is low, and the most popular liquor in Youzhou is only equivalent to the twenty or thirty degrees of wine in the previous life.

And what Ji Lie plans to brew is the famous Erguotou in later generations!

"A cup of two pots choked me ...... tears"

Ji Lie hummed a little song, recalling the process of sake brewing in his mind, and generally began to prepare.

For him, as an all-round soldier, winemaking is just a piece of cake.

It didn't take long for a simple distillation equipment to be assembled by Ji Lie.

The process of brewing wine is a trade secret, and Ji Lie is not very at ease with the servants in the house, and everything can only be done by himself.

After a lot of effort, Ji Lie finally completed the preliminary preparations, and the next thing was to wait quietly.

After a while, a lot of condensed liquor was collected in the clay pot.

Ji Yeol tasted it with a wooden spoon and shook his head.

In the brewing process of the second pot head, the pot head and the wine are either too dense and the taste is mixed, or the degree is too low, and there is no taste when drinking.

Only the wine burned in the second pot has a fragrant aroma, strong wine power, and a long stamina!

Ji Yeol poured out the head of the pot, replaced the person in the tin pan that was used as a condenser, and started firing again.

At this time, the liquor that flows out again is clear and transparent, and the taste is mellow.

Ji Lie tasted it again, and said with a smile to himself,

"That's what it tastes like!"

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

It turned out that Xiu'er woke up and found the backyard.

"This is how we make money!"

Ji Lie laughed and commanded,

"Go and call Commander Zhang!"

Xiu'er took the order to leave, and not long after, Zhang Changde reluctantly followed behind her and walked over.

When he saw the assembled stills and smelled the mellow smell of the two pots in the courtyard, his face suddenly showed surprise!

"Commander Zhang, Lone's wine has already been brewed, so please come and taste it."

"Thank you for your grace!"

But as long as there are military generals, there are almost no bad drinkers, especially in Youzhou, where the climate is bitter.

It's just that he is helpless and shy, and Zhang Changde rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays.

As soon as he heard that Ji Lie was going to reward him with wine, he couldn't help but move his index finger and his tongue was full of relish.

"Lonely's wine is very strong, I don't know how much Commander Zhang drinks?"

Ji Lie asked with a smile.

Zhang Changde was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and raised his hand to the east.

"What does Commander Zhang mean?"

Ji Lie was a little confused.

"Back to the prince, that side is the direction of the East China Sea."

"The amount of alcohol under it is as wide as the East China Sea."

"The fiercest burning knife in Youzhou, I didn't lie down after four pounds of work alone!"

Zhang Changde is serious and authentic.

Hearing his answer, Ji Lie suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

Good fellow, I ask you how much you drink, and you point me in the direction of the sea?

"The wine I brew is much stronger than burning a knife, so don't be greedy for a cup under Commander Zhang."

Ji Lie picked up the clay pot with the second pot head and carefully poured half a bowl for Zhang Changde.

This prince is inevitably too picky!

Zhang Changde was slandered in his heart, but he still respectfully took the wine bowl from Ji Lie's hand.

When he saw the second pot head for the first time, Zhang Changde was shocked!

Is there such a clear and transparent wine in the world?

At that time, the winemaking process was not developed, and the brewed wine was considered many times, but it was inevitable that there would be dregs!

And the wine in the bowl is clear and thorough, just holding it in the hand, there is a rich aroma of wine!

Zhang Changde did not hesitate, immediately picked up the wine bowl and drank it all!

It doesn't matter if you don't drink it, you'll be shocked when you drink it!

The wine is sweet and refreshing, and it is several times hotter than the strongest burning knife that Zhang Changde has ever drunk!

He, who had never drunk Erguotou, instantly turned red and coughed violently!

"Good...... Wine! ”

When it calmed down, Zhang Changde couldn't help but be amazed, staring at Ji Lie with fiery eyes,

"This kind of good wine should only be available in heaven, how many times can you taste it in the world!"

"I don't know what the name of such a good wine is?"

Ji Lie originally planned to come up with another name, but after thinking about it, he decided to call it the original name.

"Two pot heads!"

Zhang Changde had never heard of this name, and he was puzzled,

"I wonder who invented the brewing process of this wine?"

"Far away in the sky, close in front of you, it is this prince."

Ji Lie replied without blushing and without a heartbeat.

"I didn't expect the prince to be able to make such a good wine, which is really admirable!"

Thinking of his previous disapproval of Ji Lie, Zhang Changde couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, he probably belongs to type O blood, and his color turned red after drinking, and Ji Lie and Xiu'er didn't pay attention.

"According to Commander Zhang, if you sell this wine in Youzhou, you can make a lot of money?"

"Absolutely!"

Zhang Changde didn't think about it, so he nodded heavily.

Although he doesn't know anything about business, he can also be very sure that this kind of liquor called Erguotou will be very popular in the bitter cold Youzhou!

When the prince makes a lot of money, won't he be able to follow suit?

Thinking of this, Zhang Changde's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Commander Zhang, among the subordinates in the mansion, you will find a reliable subordinate for Gu who is familiar with the situation in Youzhou City."

Ji Lie commanded.

"Obey the order!"

Zhang Changde complimented and immediately turned to leave.

Looking at Zhang Changde's departing figure, Ji Lie couldn't help but smile dumbly.

really responded to that sentence, money can make grinding ghosts!

After knowing that he might make a lot of money, Zhang Changde's attitude didn't know how much more respectful he was compared to before!

At this moment, Ji Lie noticed that Xiu'er on the side was looking at him intently.

"Xiu'er, what's wrong, is there a word on your lonely face?"

"No...... The slave just thinks that His Highness is so powerful! ”

Xiu'er blushed and pursed her lips and smiled.

Although she didn't understand anything, looking at the wine brewed by Ji Lie, even Zhang Changde, who had never been smiling, was amazed, she was happy for Ji Lie from the bottom of her heart!
