The oath has been made, and time waits for no time. Several people immediately started to take action. Large-scale purification of liquor is not something that a small kitchen can do. As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Assembly-line production tools It was indispensable. Xiao Yi was about to start drawing again to make the utensils for distilling liquor. As soon as he lifted up the pen, he was hugged by Daniel and Ma Liu, "My young master, please stop drawing. I drew a blueprint the first time and ended up building a hexagonal fire pit. How many people will be killed this time if I draw it again"
Later generations of "Three Kingdoms" Wei Shu records: "Generals Niu and Ma received troop formation plans from Xiao Yi, the Marquis of Wuchou, before every battle. They never looked at them and threw them away at will. Later, they were captured by enemy spies. As a result, the enemy army discussed countermeasures according to the formation map; in battle, they were severely defeated. Every time they marched in ambush according to the map, without encountering the enemy, our own troops lost their way. They often went into deep mountains and swamps, and the entire army was killed for posterity. It is said that "The picture of the God of Wuchou Hou is very understandable by people!" "
In desperation, Xiao Yi had no choice but to come to Niu Blacksmith¡¯s shop in person and explain his purpose and what he needed
In fact, the utensils for distilling liquor are very simple, including two large iron pots, a large wooden barrel, some cloth, and a long copper pipe. However, considering that there was no technology to make such long copper pipes in this era, a very long one was used. Bamboo was used instead; iron pots were readily available. Because we were located in the cold north, bamboo pipes for drainage were difficult to find. Fortunately, in addition to selling animal skins, the neighbor's cobbler also made bows and arrows, and the materials for making bows and arrows required in addition to cattle. Tendons, horns, and good bamboo must also be included, so Xiao Yi directly carried a bundle back.
Seeing Xiao Yi making such a big show, the blacksmith and cobbler put down their work, carried the utensils, and followed them to the backyard of the Liang Family Tavern, wanting to see with their own eyes what miracles this extremely talented young man could bring to everyone
Speaking of wine; ever since our primitive ancestors put endless wild fruits into stone pits to rot and ferment to produce alcohol, wine has been closely associated with human beings; just look at the performances of celebrities throughout the ages. We know how much alcohol has a great influence on Chinese people.
Liu Ling was the first person to drink alcohol in history. His wine name was higher than his literary name. He once wrote:
¡°If you die while working in wine fields, you will be buried.
You might as well be our friend.
The bronze camel sighs at the desolation of thorns,
Celebrities never care! "
"You can bury yourself wherever you die. Drinking is really a state of mind."
Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty was known as the "Wine Fairy", and Du Fu was even more addicted to alcohol than Li Bai. According to statistics, Li Bai has 1,050 existing poems, 170 of which involve drinking, which is 16% higher; Du Fu has more than 1,400 poems, and 300 of them involve drinking. , which is 21% stronger. According to research, most of Li Bai's descendants were mentally retarded and had physical defects. Du Fu died of excessive drinking. However, literati and poets in the past dynasties still "regarded death as if they were home" when drinking. This kind of drinking spirit really makes future generations of alcoholics worship them! (The editor has to pay homage to one person first, a literary hero, a hero of the Liquor Country, a role model for us).
If the drinking of literati and elegant guests can be said to have a touch of literary romance, then the drinking of kings of all dynasties has a trace of blood.
"Shuowen Jiezi" says: "In ancient times, during the period of Xia Yu, Yidi made wine mash. Yu tasted it and found it delicious, so he left Yidi. Because Yu was afraid that his descendants would perish by drinking, he used great perseverance to quit drinking. And alienated Yidi who made wine. Let¡¯s look at the wonderful performances of future generations of monarchs:
The wine pond dug by Xia Jie was so big that it could sail boats, and the country was destroyed.
King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty was even better. He drank in the wine pool and the meat forest, and the country perished.
The empress of Nanchen: Chen Shubao was "intoxicated all day long and rarely woke up" and drank one stone with his children every day. Subjugation of the country.
Taizong Wokuotai of the Yuan Dynasty was extremely addicted to alcohol, especially in his later years. He drank heavily with ministers every day until he finally drank to death.
Yelv Jing, Emperor Jingzong of the Liao Dynasty, was known as the "Sleeping King", and the reason why he could sleep so well was that he could be drunk. Historical records record that he "banqueted for a long time", "sleeped day and night, drank" and was finally killed by his servants while drunk.
There is nothing to say, nothing to say.
A good man is one after another, and wine is really a man¡¯s blood!
? What flows in a man¡¯s veins is red alcohol
Liang Xiaoyu's family uses the traditional brewing method of the Han Dynasty. The grains are steamed, cooled, and then sealed in a large vat for slow fermentation. This fermented wine has only more than ten degrees of alcohol content and contains a large amount of grain residue. It must be layered before drinking. After filtering through several layers, the wine still has a turbid color and a bitter taste.
Xiao Yi asked Daniel and the two men to place the first large pot on the built-in stove, fill the pot with Liang Xiaoyu's fermented wine, and then seal the mouth of the pot with several layers of cloth; Get a large wooden barrel and completely cover the pot inside. The barrel must be tightly sealed. The joint between the barrel mouth and the pot mouth must be sealed with yellow mud. Open a small opening in the upper part of the barrel and insert the bamboo tube into it.The gap is also sealed with yellow mud, and another large pot is placed under the other end of the bamboo tube.
Everything is ready, Xiao Yi ordered, light the fire!
A ball of green flames, with everyone's high expectations, soon burned brightly; the wine in the pot quickly boiled under the fire, making a "gurgling, gurgling" sound; everyone looked nervously at the scene in front of them. Although they didn't understand everything about the miracle, they were smart enough not to ask anything, because Xiao Yi had given them too many miracles
Because alcohol evaporates much faster than water, a large amount of high-temperature alcohol odor is filtered through the layers of cloth, rises to the wooden barrel, and then spurts out along the bamboo tube. The bamboo tube is very long. When the wine smells cold, it turns into liquid wine again and slowly drips into the second large pot; as a transparent and shiny liquid flows down, the strong aroma of wine begins to permeate the entire yard; this simple physical reaction In modern times, even ordinary primary school students understand it, but during the Eastern Han Dynasty
Liang Xiaoyu¡¯s eyes were as big as eggs, and he wanted to swallow the cauldron in one gulp.
Daniel and Ma Liu opened their mouths wide and slowly stuck out their tongues, one inch, two inches, three inches
The blacksmith and cobbler said nothing, but the look they looked at Xiao Yi was the same as looking at Zhang Jiao, the 'Tiangong General' who claimed to be able to control wind and rain and spread beans into soldiers.
Seeing that the smell of alcohol flowing out gradually faded, Xiao Yirang turned off the stove fire, and after it cooled down slightly, he picked up a ladle used to sell wine, scooped out half a ladle, and took a small sip. The taste was good, refreshing and sweet, and he felt This distilled wine is about 35 degrees, which is definitely a high-strength alcohol in the Eastern Han Dynasty; "This is a pure, natural and pollution-free grain wine! Although there are grain wines in the 21st century, those grown with a lot of chemical fertilizers and pesticides , rather than saying it is food, it is more accurate to say it is a chronic poison"
Before Xiao Yi could finish lamenting the poor blending of liquor by those profiteers in his previous life, Niu Blacksmith, who was also addicted to alcohol, had already been eyeing him. He grabbed the water ladle, scooped up a full ladle, and took a big gulp. The strong smell of alcohol quickly filled his mouth and nose, and he felt like a line of fire was burning down his throat directly into his stomach. In an instant, it was like a fire was burning in his stomach, completely dispelling the chill brought by winter. ¡
"Good wine! This is the wine that a man should drink. All I drank before was water!" After saying that, the blacksmith carefully handed the gourd in his hand to the cobbler, for fear of spilling a drop
Dan Niu and Ma Liu didn't dare to fight with the cobbler and quickly rushed towards the other two ladles. However, their movements were a little slower. Liang Xiaoyu, who had no ladles to grab, stared directly at the iron pot with a pair of red eyes and simply used Holding the wine in both hands, he poured it into his mouth; just like a mad dog who had been hungry for several days and found a large piece of fat beef
Everyone¡¯s reaction after drinking alcohol is different. It can be said that a hundred people may have a hundred different reactions after drinking alcohol;
¡°Some are crying, some are laughing, some are even streaking
After Xiao Yi finished drinking, his expression remained unchanged and his heart stopped beating "It's no joke, it's drizzling! I've drank 60-degree grassland liquor."
After the blacksmith drank the wine, he looked up to the sky and roared, the sound carried for miles, to vent the excitement in his chest;
The cobbler finished his drink, bowed his head in silence, and meditated silently;
After Daniel and Ma Liu finished drinking, their faces turned red, their temples were dripping with sweat, and steam began to come out of their heads. They drank secretly while looking at the blacksmith, for fear of being stopped
And Liang Xiaoyu knelt on the ground and hugged the big pot of wine, crying, as if he wanted to cry out all the misfortune of so many years. While crying, he banged his head against the edge of the iron pot; that sad look , those who didn¡¯t know thought that ¡®Liang Wanwan¡¯ who was far away in Jixian County ascended to heaven
Xiao Yi, who was afraid that the iron pot would leak, quickly picked up Liang Xiaoyu, who was still crying on the ground; he looked at the other four people and said only two words: "Keep it secret!"
The rest of the people began to calm down, looked at each other, and nodded fiercely;
Looking at the crystal clear white wine in the iron pot, one pot of fermented wine can distill about one-third of the high-altitude white wine, but the price it can sell is definitely ten times or even dozens of times higher than the former; a thousand pieces of gold are easy to make. Yes, good wine is hard to come by; many dignitaries are willing to spend a fortune just to get a jar of good wine; in the eyes of everyone, this is no longer wine, but a bright road paved with gold, and those who ruin the road to wealth , like killing your parents!
The good wine has been steamed, and we must give it a name worthy of it!
After brainstorming, everyone began to think. Even the cobbler, who usually didn't care about anything except revenge, was ready to make a move this time. Men are always obsessed with liquids like alcohol. This obsession can suppress hatred, and sometimes even suppress it. love¡¡
Niu Blacksmith proposed to call it ¡®Crouching Tiger Wine¡¯ because it was produced in Crouching Tiger Pavilion and the name is domineering, which is more in line with the domineering nature of this wine;
The cobbler thinks it¡¯s more appropriate to call it ¡®blood wine¡¯¡
Liang Xiaoyu insists that calling Liangjia wine is consistent with the wine¡¯s origin
A group of people were arguing endlessly!
Finally, Xiao Yi, who had been silent for a long time, made a final conclusion, a very shameless decision. The name of this wine is¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªWuchou Wine!
