Chapter 1676: The Battle of Xuzhou (272)

Guo Jia was thinking about the big iron pot, of course, the craftsmen were not idle, Guo Jia asked them to draw a picture that could make wine, but how the winemaking workshop in Xuzhou was destroyed, but the winemaking thing is still the same after all, and in the end it is all about brewing wine, maybe these winemaking masters will spend some effort, but they should always do something while waiting.

If it was just ordinary wine, Cao Cao wouldn't be much interested, but with such a mellow and sweet wine, it would be impossible for him to calm down, and more importantly, he saw a business opportunity from it, if the Xudu Brewing Workshop could make such a fine wine, then he could directly sell it to Si Li or even Xiliang, such a strong wine, the price of buying it in Yongliang Erzhou would definitely be an astronomical amount.

Cao Cao cares, Guo Jia also cares, since he drank such a fine wine, he has been thinking about this fine wine, and then drink others, all with white water, no taste, this is like eating wild vegetable leftovers, and finally eat the feeling of fine wine and food, if you have not drunk such a fine wine, then the ordinary wine is the wine and food in his mind, but after tasting this kind of wine, knowing that there is this wine in the world, naturally you can't swallow it, and your heart and mind can also make such a fine wine.

The design drawings were sent up one by one, and one was not satisfied, and then the same was true for one of them, all of them were nonsense, and even the design could be said to be contrary to common sense, but dozens of winemakers were not wastes at all, and the design of one of them made his eyes shine, although Guo Jia didn't know anything about it, but there was one thing he was unswerving, the winery in Xuzhou, built so high, it would never be accidental, this winemaking guy thing, must be extremely tall, and the design drawings in front of him, although it is not sure whether it can make wine, But at least it was designed in the direction he had in mind.

On the pedestal is a retort, and on the retort is a huge pot, and the designer is very clever to divide the pot into two layers, so that the height seems to be enough, but he obviously has some other things painted under the bottom of the pot, which makes Guo Jia a little unable to see what he is drawing, so he specially found this winemaker, under his introduction, this can be regarded as a complete understanding of his thoughts.

"If you make wine from this drawing, how will you make it?" Guo Jia looked at the winemaker with a serious face, he didn't know how to do it, so he could only be sure in this way that the person in front of him was not fooling himself, if he could answer the question without any panic under such intimidation, it showed that this person was reliable, even if he couldn't brew, it must be that he hadn't approached the brewing process of Xuzhou Brewery, and if he was frightened by himself, and even spoke hesitantly, then this person was a liar nine times out of ten, and Guo Jia would naturally not be polite to him.

"I ...... Is it going to ...... This is how the wine is made. The winemaker was indeed shocked by Guo Jia, his tongue began to knot, and his body even began to tremble, which gave Guo Jia a very bad impression, and almost recognized him as a liar, but when he said how to make wine, he suddenly became clever and organized, which immediately made Guo Jia sit up straight, and even called him to his side to carefully explain the role of every detail.

Guo Jia is like this, he doesn't seek to understand everything, but he understands something, of course, if he encounters something he is really interested in, then he will devote 100% of his energy to study, and he is willing to tinker with things, so far, there is no unsuccessful.

The winemaker said it again, but Guo Jia was still confused, to put it bluntly, the key was that he had not brewed wine himself, so no matter what the other party said, he was dizzy, after all, these operations were unfamiliar to him, even if he thought about it, he couldn't think of an example close to it.

But although Guo Jia didn't understand, he could understand the diagram, he asked the meaning of the existence of these things step by step, from the pedestal to the retort to the cauldron, these quickly understood the key, I have to say that smart people learn everything fast, of course, it depends on whether he wants to learn, whether he is willing to learn.

"And what is this for?" Guo Jia has figured out everything before, in fact, these are easy to understand, even if there is no winemaker to introduce him, he can understand the meaning of the existence of the pedestal, but he doesn't understand what the little thing he drew under the pot in the picture is.

This little thing looks a bit like an hourglass, and for him, the existence of an hourglass is to keep time, but the design of an hourglass at the bottom of this pot obviously can't be for timekeeping.

"It's also an hourglass, but in our mouths, it's called a funnel, and it's a tool for us to hold sake and soy sauce."

"Then you can draw too ......" I don't know how to describe it, anyway, there is no similarity, although he is now a different identity, but in the early years, he also played vinegar and soy sauce, naturally clear funnel, but the key is that this picture is not big, and he painted it very vaguely in the painting, which actually made him think it was an hourglass.

"I'm afraid that if you take out this painting, few people will recognize that this is a funnel." Guo Jia teased him and then asked, "What is it that connects this hourglass?" Hemp rope? ”

"Hey, hey." The funnel was embarrassed by what Guo Jia said, and at this moment, when he heard Guo Jia say that it was the hemp rope that connected the hourglass, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "This is not a hemp rope, it is a wine pipe." “

"Is this a bamboo tube?"

"Exactly."

"I should have thought of it, after all, it is connected to the hourglass, how can it be hemp rope." Guo Jia played an original song for him, and said: "Then tell me, how do you plan to make wine in this design?" ”

"I have this design, which is based on some of the references that my family brewing workshop and Mr. you provided at the time, you look at the upper and lower cauldrons, the lower pot, is the fermented sake lees, and the upper pot is filled with cold water, and then I seal it in my way, so that you can add wood to the pedestal to make wine.

"That's fine, but I still don't understand, how can this be drunk?"

"This is very simple, you see, as long as the wood on the base is boiled, you can steam the lees underneath, and the gas containing alcohol is cooled by the cold water of the cauldron above, and it will condense into liquor, and the liquor will converge along the upper pot body to the bottom of the wine funnel, and the wine flows out of the bamboo tube, which is the sake brewed.

"It's that simple?"

"It's not that hard to make wine, it's just not that complicated." Of course, the winemaker said that he knew what such a process meant, but he would not say anything about the drawbacks, for the simple reason that the great reward had not yet been received, so he would not talk nonsense.

Guo Jia was thinking about the big iron pot, of course, the craftsmen were not idle, Guo Jia asked them to draw a picture that could make wine, but how the winemaking workshop in Xuzhou was destroyed, but the winemaking thing is still the same after all, and in the end it is all about brewing wine, maybe these winemaking masters will spend some effort, but they should always do something while waiting.
