Chapter 7: Qingzhao is drunk
"Su naturally knew that his father drank and wrote poems, and he drank a few times, but he couldn't write any poems except for headaches?" Su Dun scoffed at Fan Zheng's idea.
Li Qingzhao also blushed and said: "My little sister was also curious, and she secretly drank a sip, but it didn't taste very good?" ”
"Doesn't it taste good?" Fan Zheng's eyes widened, Li Qingzhao loved wine in later generations, but now he said that it was not delicious?
"That's it, we drink, other people can also drink, what kind of recipe is this, Brother Fan, don't hide your secrets!" Su Dun said dissatisfied.
When Fan Zheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Hiding private? What kind of wine are you drinking? I have a side that can make you wait for the latter to catch up. ”
"Really?" Li Qingzhao said in surprise.
Fan Zheng said proudly: "According to Fan's observation, the wine on the market is divided into strong liquor and light liquor, and some profiteers even mix water into the wine to make it shoddy. ”
Su Dun frowned and said: "There are these behaviors, but what does this have to do with writing poetry." ”
Fan Zhengzheng said: "Since there is a distinction between strong wine and light wine, you can also add water to the wine, which means that the wine contains a mixture of wine and water, if we can refine the water of the wine, then what we get is not the essence of the wine!" ”
"The best of wine?" Su Dun's eyes lit up suddenly, "The sages can write famous articles, if we drink the essence of the wine, wouldn't it be a surge of thoughts." ”
At this time, even Li Qingzhao was excited, many poets can write famous poems by drinking light wine, if she drinks the essence, wouldn't it be .............
"But how can the water in the wine be extracted?" Li Qingzhao frowned.
Su Dun waved his hand and said: "In my opinion, you can follow the method of boiling salt and boil the water dry, and what you leave behind may be wine!" ”
"Godbrother!" Fan Zheng complimented casually, he naturally knew the method of distilling liquor, but it was not easy to take it out directly, so he was naturally happy to let Su Dun try and make mistakes first.
The three of them said they would do it, and soon, Fan Zheng took out his father's treasured ten-year-old wine from Fan's house, found a copper kettle, and poured the ten-year-old wine into it.
Soon the fire was blazing, and after a while, a strong aroma of wine spread throughout the Fan Mansion.
"It's a ten-year-old wine! Sure enough, the aroma of wine is attractive! Li Qingzhao smelled the intoxicating aroma of wine, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a hint of blush appeared on his face.
Su Dun nodded thoughtfully, the ten-year-old wine is so mellow, if the essence of the wine is extracted, what kind of taste it should be.
However, watching the wine in the pot continue to boil, the aroma of the wine is becoming more and more intoxicating, and when only half of the wine in the pot is left, Su Dun couldn't help but take a spoonful of wine, and after blowing it cold, he drank it down.
"How's that, is there any inspiration!" Li Qingzhao asked urgently.
"What's going on, it's as bland as water, there's no smell of wine, and there's any inspiration." Su Dun frowned.
Fan Zheng pointed out at this time: "At that time, we should have reversed, what evaporated should be wine, and what was left was water." ”
"So what to do? The wine is all gone, how to collect the essence of the wine. Li Qingzhao said dejectedly.
"It's easy! Water becomes steam when it is hot, and dew when it is cold, and we only need to condense the distilled liquor into dew and collect it. Fan Zheng is confident.
At that moment, Fan Zheng asked his subordinates to find a long copper pipe, bend it to connect it to the copper spout, and the lower end was slightly hanging down in order to collect the liquor, so that a primitive distillation device was completed.
Fan Zheng refilled the copper kettle with liquor, put it on the fire and heated it, and soon the liquor boiled again, accompanied by a rich aroma of wine, and drops of pungent liquid dripped from the mouth of the copper pipe.
"That's the best of wine!" Li Qingzhao smelled the pungent smell, and Qiong said with a wrinkle.
Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, this is the essence of wine." ”
Fan Zheng smelled the pungent smell, like a treasure, and hurriedly collected it, the purity of the wine head that had just been refined was extremely high, and it could almost reach the purity of medical alcohol, which was a surgical medicine.
Soon, the wine became more and more mellow, Fan Zheng changed to a slightly larger container to collect the liquor, a jar of old liquor, and finally only refined more than one percent of the liquor!
Of course, there is a low degree of Da Song liquor, and the reason for the simplicity of the distillation equipment of Fan Zheng and others, according to Fan Zheng's estimate, if according to the advanced distillation technology of later generations, it is estimated that Sancheng liquor can be refined.
"The color of the wine is clear and flawless, this is a peerless wine, worthy of the essence of wine." Su Dun drank his father's wine in private, and when he saw the freshly distilled wine, he couldn't help but praise it.
In this era, most of the liquor extraction is carried out by precipitation filtration, which inevitably has impurities, but the distillation method directly uses gas to condense the liquid, and there are no impurities at all.
"The wine is mellow, far better than the good wine on the market!" As the saying goes, people who don't like to drink wine smell the smell of wine is pungent, and people who love wine smell wine is mellow.
And when Fan Zheng opened the Fan family's wine just now, it was already fragrant, and the essence of the wine in front of him was even better, which made people salivate.
Smelling the intoxicating aroma of wine, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but be intoxicated, and his resistance to drinking was reduced a lot.
Su Dun was already ready to move: "With the essence of this wine, why don't I worry about not being able to write a peerless masterpiece, in the future, my Su Dun's poem will definitely be famous in the Great Song Dynasty and crush my father!" ”
"What a father and son!" The corners of Fan Zheng's mouth twitched.
However, it can also be seen that there is a father who is famous all over the world, and how much pressure Su Dun has.
At that moment, Fan Zheng instructed his subordinates to prepare dishes and set up a banquet to drink.
"Miss Li, godbrother, do it!"
Fan Zheng raised a glass to invite! Drink it all!
"!"
Su Dun picked up the wine glass and drank it all as Fan Zheng learned, and suddenly a spicy stimulation filled his throat, which immediately made his face red.
"This wine is so strong! It is the essence of wine! Su Dun stood for a long time before exhaling heavily.
Seeing this, Li Qingzhao took a small sip, and her mouth was suddenly full of spicy and difficult to swallow, but in order to be able to write famous poems, she also forced herself to drink it.
Soon, after three cups and two lamps, Li Qingzhao actually liked the blazing taste.
"Huh! Why am I so dizzy! Li Qingzhao's face was flushed, she only felt top-heavy, she only drank three glasses and two glasses, and she had secretly drunk so much in the past, so she had nothing to do.
However, she didn't know that what she was drinking now was a high degree of liquor, not the low-alcohol light wine she usually drank, and she was drunk before she knew it!
"Senior sister is drunk!" Su Dun laughed and said, he often drinks alcohol, although the liquor is strong, he only drinks a little, and it is not in the way.
"Nonsense, I only drank three glasses and two glasses, how can I get drunk, Senior Brother Fan, Senior Brother Gan! Let's drink it again, there is the essence of this wine, and we will definitely write a famous article through the ages, and see who still looks down on me Li Qingzhao's woman. Li Qingzhao drank all the liquor in his hand, but his body staggered, and he almost couldn't stand.
"Stinky boy! Miss Li is still a woman, and you actually drunk her! Ma naturally knew that the three of them were drinking again, especially Li Qingzhao, so he naturally paid more attention, and hurriedly came forward when he saw this.
"I only drank three glasses and two glasses, how did I know she couldn't drink it so much!" Fan Zheng smiled bitterly, he only knew that Li Qingzhao loved to drink very much in later generations, but he didn't know that she was addicted to food.
"Stinky boy, I'll send Miss Li back first, and I'll settle accounts with you when I come back!" Ma Shi said indignantly, Li Qingzhao was just drunk, and he was still conscious, if he sent Li Qingzhao, who was drunk to death, back, I am afraid he would not be able to tell.
Although Ma liked Li Qingzhao, he was unwilling to damage Li Qingzhao's reputation, and at that moment, the Fan family immediately prepared a carriage, and Ma personally escorted Li Qingzhao back.
