Chapter 152: Sake and turbid sake
Chapter 152 Sake Wine
"The new method of forging, Langjun, creates a lot of fine iron, which is indeed much better than the 100-sharing steel made by his predecessors.
If you use this kind of stainless steel to make the crankshaft that Langjun said, you will naturally not be afraid of water-soaked corrosion."
Li Yu's behavior of sending the kitchen knife to Chang'an made the public sending class very appreciate, and he was very focused when studying it.
"I have also explained this crank bearing clearly, and it is difficult to explain. After I called a few blacksmiths and Ah Gui in the past two days, the patriarch would know it at a glance.
The most important thing is that the dam building of a river embankment is imminent. How to choose a site and how many additional bins of cars need to be investigated and then made a conclusion.
Now there is another month that will be Yuanzheng. Time is too urgent and a little delay will be wasted.
Moreover, the weather is getting colder, so the clan leader still needs to work hard to rush to settle down the location and various matters.
The common people's farmers can start working step by step, striving to do everything before the Great Cold arrives."
"Don't worry, my husband, don't worry about this matter. This afternoon, I took the children of the tribe to the river and inspected it carefully.
I can make a rough idea tonight, and the husband can summon the people of the village first.
The next day is an auspicious day. When the survey is over today, I will discuss with my clan members tomorrow. Just then, the husband will summon the people and start construction in the future.
As for the stones used to cut the walls, they can be cut by Li Yu in Qinling Mountains. Now they are reinforced with cement.
The built river bank will definitely be more robust than the rammed earth clay used by our predecessors."
"It's so good. If the clan leader is working hard, the granary expansion matter is still the leader of the craftsman before. The tilesman in the farm will not need to build the river embankment."
The two carefully discussed the river channel and the granary matters, and the Gongshu team hurried away.
Li Yu was about to go to the backyard to rest when he saw Li Zhong bringing an old man, a middle-aged man, and three of them walked in together.
"Your Madam, the villain is back. The father and son have made wine in Shandong before they escaped. This is a family-born skill. It has been more than ten years since we came to our Lantian, so you can use it with confidence."
Li Yu frowned, "When I was looking for a carpenter or a blacksmith, I just came dozens of people. Now that I am a man who brews wine, why are there only two people here?"
Li Zhong explained with a smile, "The man doesn't know anything. The carpenter and blacksmith's craftsmanship are widely circulated, and there is naturally no shortage among the people.
But since ancient times, this winemaking has been consumed by nobles from aristocratic families. It is not easy for the people to have enough food, so how can they have free time to eat wine?
Moreover, this method of brewing wine is mostly controlled by aristocratic families and wealthy families and merchants, and it is not circulated among the people. Therefore, there are very few people who can make wine."
Li Yu thought so, isn't it? In ancient times, it was either a disaster or a disaster, or a chaotic war. It would be good for the people to eat enough. The luxurious life of eating wine and meat is too far away from the people.
"Since you two have their own skills in brewing wine, why do you still have to fall into my Li family village?"
Li Yu asked curiously.
Zhi saw the old man step forward and answered, "Your Majesty, the villain was once a small gateway in Shandong. Although he was not rich, he could still eat a full meal by following the craftsmanship he passed down from his ancestors.
But in the past, the world was in chaos, and the villain took his wife, children, and the old and young people to avoid war.
After being in trouble for more than a year, I squandered all the money I brought. Fortunately, I was supported by the old county men to settle down in this Lantian.
Now that we have been farming for more than ten years, we are no longer wandering. The old man’s family has thanked the world.
But the old man was born with good wine, and when he was free, he couldn't help but use excess food to make some turbid wine to satisfy his desire for words.
Manager Li found the old man's house after a little inquiry.
When he learned that his husband wanted to brew fine wine, the old man volunteered to help him.
This is the old man's eldest son. He often participates in it when brewing wine, so he can start with it.
Dalang, come and see Langjun quickly.”
"I've met Mr. Lang!"
"No need to be polite. I am confused about something, so I would like to ask my father-in-law for advice!"
"I dare not, but I dare not, but I have some questions. The old man knows everything and speaks everything!"
"I also want to ask you. I have been brewing wine for many days. I think I am not inferior to others. Why are the wines I made sour?"
The old man heard that Li Yu was sour when brewing wine, so he couldn't help laughing.
"I have come to my husband, brewing wine is quite troublesome, and although it is not difficult, it cannot be used in a short period of time. It must be fermented and precipitated.
The husband thought of wine in just a few days, and he was too anxious. Moreover, the use of wine to make wine is hot water to cool down. If raw water is used, the wine will be damaged. If it cannot ferment, it will fail. All the reasons need to be carefully considered. If you are not careful, the pot will be damaged."
The wine we see now is divided into three types, one is fruit wine, which is the wine mentioned in Lang Jun's poems. Most of the fruit wines were eaten by nobles of aristocrats.
The first is to prepare wine, mainly based on rice wine, and then combined with spices or medicinal materials, and soak and steam.
The popular wines nowadays include seasonal wine, spice wine, pine mash wine, etc.
And seasonal wines include moxa, calamus wine, and dogwood wine.
This wine is not eaten much and is only consumed during the season.
The third is brewing wine, because it is brewed by rice, it is also called rice wine, and because rice is white, it is also called white wine.
This kind of white wine is divided into sake and turbid wine.
Sake is called sake because it becomes clear as water after drinking, so it is called sake.
However, because its brewing time is too long, the brewing technology is too complicated, and a lot of waste of rice, few people brew it.
The opposite is true for turbid wine. It takes a short time, consumes less food, produces more wine, and is simple in craftsmanship, so it is spread throughout the world.
I wonder what the husband created?”
"Oh, this kind of turbid wine is brewed by me."
When Li Yu saw the old man talking about drinking, he couldn't help but admire him. He thought to himself that he was an expert, and this just saying was not simple.
"Since the husband wants to brew turbid wine, the old man can teach all the things he needs. The old man's decades of craftsmanship will definitely not ask the husband to waste too much rice," he said.
"No, no, no, I don't have the time to fiddle with those all day long,
I want to make a winemaking workshop, and after I get the wine,
I took it to Chang'an City for some money to support the construction of several other farms, so I came up with wine making.
You are the only one of the common people in these farms. You know this skill. My husband wants to entrust this winemaking workshop to you, just like the nine old men who burn bricks...
I wonder if my father-in-law might take on this matter?"
When Li Yu was lying, he didn't blink his eyes.
He is a devastating fan. To put it bluntly, he just wants to make money, and he wants to make a big comeback by making wine.
But this time, the winemaking matter is so sacred.
Why can all the poor people in these five villages live in the big red brick house?
It is also for the poor farmers to have enough food and clothing in the future, and think more, etc.
Keep gilding on your face!
This old man is just an ordinary person, how can he withstand the bombardment of such a great truth?
I just felt that taking on this winemaking errand seemed to have made great efforts for the people of several farms.
Of course, the matter of accumulating good deeds in this way must be followed. Not only will it be the next step, but it must also be like the nine elders who burned bricks, so that they can show their abilities.
