Chapter 140: The Advent of Alcohol (1)

But Zou Ming was not unhappy because of this, but secretly happy in his heart, he had collected a lot of information about Guo Dalu before, and found that this young man in the countryside had no desires, and even the money earned by Snow Candy was subsidized to the children of Yixue to improve their food, and he still lived in the small courtyard of the farmhouse.

This person who has no desire and regards fame and fortune as a floating cloud is the most difficult to buy and solicit, and the prince can use it to recruit his subordinates, one hand is money, the other hand is the official hat, and there is a hidden secret trick, that is, the killer.

However, under normal circumstances, as long as the first two hands - money and official hat - are displayed, the people that the prince wants to recruit are all surrendered. Even if there are a few hard bones that don't get in oil and salt, as soon as the killer comes out, he will already become ashes with his family.

Now because of the Holy Zen position, the prince's killer cannot be used easily, so he can only use money and official hats to buy Guo Dalu, but Guo Dalu doesn't care about these at all, Zou Ming doesn't know where to start for a while.

Now seeing that Guo Dalu is unwilling to teach the so-called "surgery", Zou Ming is greatly relieved, after all, this Guo Dalu is still selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, weak, this is convenient for me to find opportunities to recruit.

Zou Ming smiled secretly in his heart, but he still sighed for a long time on his face, after making the posture of Mr. Long, Nai Cangsheng He, Guo Dalu is actually a soft man - as an orphan, he can't see others suffer the most - and hurriedly said: "Brother Zou, I have also gained something from entering the mountain this time, especially when I found Panax notoginseng, this herb has the special effect of stopping bleeding and collecting muscles, and with the alcohol I am preparing to configure, it can treat general bruises, and knife and arrow wounds are the most effective." ”

Zou Ming's eyes lit up: "Sanqi, alcohol, what are these two?"

Guo Dalu had to explain it in detail, Zou Ming could understand Sanqi, Da Li Chao also had some herbs that could treat trauma, and the curative effect of Sanqi was more significant, but for alcohol, how could it not be understood - this wine is only used to feast and entertain people, how can it be used to treat injuries?

Guo Dalu was racking his brains to explain the wonders of distilling liquor, and Li Bo next to him said: "Brother Guo, Uncle Li and Uncle Zhou have made the steaming utensils overnight, and they have also brought a cart of good rice and are trying to make what kind of alcohol you said.

Guo Dalu didn't expect Li Dayan and Carpenter Zhou to move so fast, facing Zou Ming's curious eyes, he waved his hand: "Okay, then let's go to the workshop." At that time, I was in a hurry to take care of Brother Hao'er, and the explanation of steamed alcohol was a little rough, and I don't know if Uncle Li and Uncle Zhou understood it, and whether there would be any omissions. ”

At this time, the sky was already dark, Guo Dalu saw that Zou Ming didn't mention resting and sleeping at all, and knew that he was really curious about this alcohol, so he simply let Li Bo lead the way in front, stepped on the morning mist, and went to the workshop.

The sake steaming workshop was set up improvised, so a stove was set up in an empty shed in the straw paper workshop, a fire was built, utensils with a woody fragrance were lifted, rice drenched in water was piled up, koji was put in, and steamed.

Guo Dalu and Zou Ming were far away from the workshop, and they had already smelled the fragrance of wine, Zou Ming snorted: "This wine is fragrant, no wonder it is called alcohol, it is worthy of the essence of wine." ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Brother Zou, this alcohol has not yet been made, if you really want to distill this wine, you must first soak the rice well, match it with good spring water, and steam it seven times and brew it eight times, so that you can make a good wine." It's just that I'm in a hurry to get some medical alcohol now, which saves a lot of links. ”

Zou Ming asked, "So you can drink this alcohol?"

Guo Dalu nodded: "Of course you can drink it, but the degree is too high, and if you drink it directly without water, it will blind people's eyes." Zou Ming was taken aback, this alcohol is also a kind of poison! I really don't know what this Guo Dalu learned from the old man in the mountains, alcohol can save people and hurt people in his hands.

How did Zou Ming know that in the 21st century, the so-called famous wines are all blended with alcohol, and each famous wine has undergone the most detailed analysis by computers and high-precision testing instruments, listing all the ingredients, as long as it is matched according to the ingredients, it can be mixed with the top wine.

Li Dayan and Carpenter Zhou were busy around the stove, and in order to be in a hurry, the joints of the steaming utensils were not meticulous enough, and steam came out, and the two were repairing them.

Seeing Guo Dalu come in with a scribe in Tsing Yi, Li Dayan just raised his head and greeted casually: "Brother Guo, take a look, this is the utensils you said for steaming wine?"

Guo Dalu came to check, he had seen the farmer's own sweet potato steaming wine in the countryside, which is commonly known as earth shochu, and at this time, he compared them one by one - the shape of the steaming wine set is a circle at the bottom and narrow at the top, gradually shrinking, like a cone-shaped volcano.

The bottom shelf is actually a large iron pot on the stove, and the upper layer is the mixed rice and koji, followed by the steam room, and the top is the condensing room, next to the condensing chamber is a bamboo pipe, from which the steamed sake flows.

It's just that what is coming out of the mouth of the bamboo pipe now is steam with a very light smell of wine, and there is no alcohol.

Guo Dalu sighed: "Alas, it's still too hurried, this rice and koji have not been fully mixed and fermented, the gap in the steaming utensils is too large, a large amount of wine steam has run out, and there is a heat dissipation device at the upper end of the condensation chamber that flows live water to take away the heat, and this alcohol can't seem to be made for a while." ”

Zou Ming looked at the wine steamer on the stove in a daze, since ancient times, this wine is brewed, put the grains and koji in the jar, and then seal, buried in the ground, the longer the time is brewed, the more delicious it is, such as the daughter of the south of the Yangtze River, when the girl is born, the wine is buried under the plum blossoms, and when the daughter and Lu get married, it is taken out as a dowry, accompanied by the daughter and the red makeup of the scenery together.

However, listening to Guo Dalu's muttering, although he couldn't understand any steam and condensation chamber, it was very organized, and it didn't seem to be a fraud -- how many strange things did this Guo Dalu still have in his stomach?

Guo Dalu was a little disappointed, but Brother Hao'er's injury had been controlled under his own modern medicine, there was no inflammation, and the alcohol was not so urgent, he raised his hand to Li Dayan and Carpenter Zhou, who were still busy, and said: "Two uncles, stop and rest, you have been busy all night." The wine steamer I hastily designed is not perfect enough, I have to think about it, how to change it, hard work for the two uncles. ”

Li Dayan smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Brother Guo, Uncle is also doing this thing for the first time, and his hands are a little raw, but I have roughly understood the function of this wine steamer, some parts can be replaced by clay pots and clay jars, unlike wood, which will crack when heated, and run and leak."
