Jingwen was sent to guard the wine warehouse by Zhang Dekai, who was full of bad water, which is probably a beauty difference for ordinary people. Because it is not only leisurely, but also can take the opportunity to rub oil and drink some imperial wine. But how can a dignified man be wasted here? What's more, there are still many industries outside Jingwen, and he doesn't want to live here.

Jingwen has an idea, that is, simply resign. It's not interesting to be the head of this wine storehouse, as long as you resign, it's not freedom? But Jingwen is also worried that his things are too tempting, once he resigns and has no official protection, then I am afraid that he will really be miserable. So, Jingwen is hesitating?

And at this time, the Kuding from the wine cellar came over, took a big bowl of wine and came to Jingwen, and said, "My lord, try our imperial bar!" This sake is hard to drink outside, and we can drink it often. So, my lord, try this sake and see if there's anything good about it. ”

"Get out, don't you see Lao Tzu annoying?" Jingwen complained.

Instead, the Kudin said, "My lord, since you are upset, you must drink even more!" It's a good way to drink away your sorrows! ”

"Damn, the water is more flowing when the knife is drawn, and the sorrow is even more sorrowful when you raise a glass." Jingwen said suddenly.

The Kudin immediately said, "My lord is so literate! ”

Jingwen ignored him, this sycophant is just a sycophant. Although Jingwen himself is also a sycophant, he doesn't like sycophants.

"My lord, you have tasted it, anyway, it should be a taste of the imperial wine." Kudin said.

Jingwen happened to be a little thirsty, so he directly took the imperial wine and took a sip.

"Poof-" Jingwen just drank it in his mouth and immediately spit it out.

"Your grandfather's, what kind of sewage is this?" Jingwen scolded.

The Kuding immediately said, "My lord, this is not sewage, this is the best wine!" ”

"This virtue of the imperial wine capital?" Jingwen asked.

Kudin said, "Yes! This is the best imperial wine, why did you spit it out, my lord? Do you know? I'm afraid that if these drinks go out, it will be very expensive. ”

Jingwen pointed to the inside of the bowl, where there was some sediment underneath, and said, "What is this?" Such an unhygienic drink, you are embarrassed to bring it to me to drink? If I were there, I am afraid that I would not be able to pass the inspection and quarantine at all! ”

Kuding asked in surprise: "My lord, there is some precipitation in the wine, this is normal!" Don't you know? ”

"Nonsense, a real good wine should be crystal clear, it can't be so cloudy." Jingwen said.

"Your Excellency, you must not have drunk alcohol, otherwise you would not have said such a thing." Kudin said.

To be honest, Jingwen really hasn't drunk since he crossed. Although Jingwen occasionally drank alcohol in his previous life, he was not a good drinker. Jingwen only drank a few drinks at some banquets, and did not drink alcohol specifically. Because Jingwen is an otaku of online novels, he doesn't socialize much, and he doesn't like to drink, so he doesn't have an addiction to alcohol. He also has no addiction to smoking, and is a very good man in the new century.

And after the crossing, he didn't drink, he didn't drink unless he had to. And even his daily diet is won by dishes, not by wine. The drinks that are eaten every day are actually similar to those of other restaurants, and Jingwen didn't care about it, so he handed it over to Xue Xue to purchase drinks. But now that Jingwen has drunk this imperial wine, he is very surprised, why is this imperial wine of the Tang Dynasty so unpleasant?

This imperial wine of the Tang Dynasty is so rotten. Look at this wine, there is still something suspended underneath, obviously some sake lees or other impurities. And if you take this imperial wine to the inspection and quarantine agency of the future generations, I am afraid that people will not test it at all, and directly give you a failure. You can't even clean up this impurity, and you're embarrassed to ask someone to inspect it?

"Also, why is this drink so low?" Jingwen asked.

Kudin asked, "What is a degree?" ”

"That is, it is not strong enough! Where is this wine? It's just water with some wine flavor, and this is all too good to be called wine? Jingwen asked.

Jingwen was very speechless about this drink, this drink was very low, at most it was only about ten degrees, that is, the alcohol content was less than ten percent. Although Jingwen is not good at drinking, he will not drink such a low degree of wine! The wines of later generations were all higher than this degree, so Jingwen was very dissatisfied.

"My lord, this is already a rare spirit! This is still made with a secret recipe, and if it were any other drink, I'm afraid it wouldn't have this strong at all! Kudin said.

"Your grandfather's, this is too much to call it a spirit? In my place, there is no fifty degrees that I am embarrassed to call a spirit. You're all calling this a spirit, so aren't all our brewers going to hang themselves? Jingwen snorted.

Kudin immediately asked curiously, "My lord, where are you there?" Imperial dining room? But the imperial dining room shouldn't be as good as ours, right? ”

The corners of Jingwen's mouth twitched, and he immediately said, "Okay, you quickly tell me, how is this wine made?" ”

"My lord, this sake is first half-cooked with the grain, then the koji is added, and then it is stirred and brewed. When the fermentation is enough, then it can be fermented, and then it becomes wine. As long as you scoop up the lees, you can continue to put it down, and the older it gets, the more fragrant it gets. Kudin said.

"Wait a minute, you seem to have one less process!" Jingwen said.

"No? What do I say less? Kudin asked, puzzled.

"No, no, you must have said one less process, what's it?" Jingwen seemed to think of it too.

Jingwen couldn't help but recall that when he went on a trip and was fortunate to visit the Moutai Distillery, he saw the process of making fine wine. He had also seen some ancient wine-making equipment on display, and seemed to feel that this Kuding had said something.

"That's right! This drink is not distilled! Jingwen suddenly shouted.

Jingwen grabbed this kuding and asked, "Have you ever distilled this drink?" It seems that this sake has not been distilled? ”

Kudin asked, "Distillation?" What is the process of distillation? ”

When Jingwen heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. He knew that the opportunity for his fortune had come again, and the ancient liquor had not been distilled? If a good drinker in later generations would probably know the importance of distilling wine. But the Tang Dynasty actually didn't have the technology to distill wine, didn't God make Jingwen rich?
