However, since the last incident, his attitude towards Tao Xiaowu has also changed subtly.

At this time, although the mouth is talking nonsense, there is no real opposition and prevention!

He wants to see if Tao Xiaowu can make wine if he is so messy!

But at this time, Qiu Yuan's mentality has changed from completely disdainful of Tao Xiaowu at the beginning, to scrutinizing and expecting Tao Xiaowu.

At the very least, Qiu Yuan admitted that Tao Xiaowu was very appetizing about dealing with the Yan family last time.

Moreover, it seems that Tao Xiaowu really has some ghosts in his hands...... At the very least, the witchcraft of resurrecting the dead seems to be of some use.

I should have learned something from the old witch master!

And Tao Xiaowu's body at this time was getting more and more cold and lost his vitality.

But its consciousness is becoming more and more calm and transparent!

He was already very keenly aware of the change in Qiu Yuan's mentality, wearing a thick jacket, barely squeezing out a smile.

But there is not much to say, facts speak louder than words. When the liquor is released, this Qiu Yuan will know the truth or falsehood!

Unlike other travelers who travel through the past and want to make sake.

Tao Xiaowu is a traverser who really lets go of wine and clearly knows the complete process of winemaking!

Not only does he know how to make high-grade liquor, but he also knows the most traditional way of brewing Daqu and Xiaokoji.

This is still related to Tao Xiaowu's family reasons before he crossed.

His family once opened their own brewery, but unfortunately the craftsmanship was too traditional and the cost was too high, and it later closed down.

Later, Tao Xiaowu went to the south and saw some peasant families brewing their own liquor, and a hundred catties of grain could produce about two or three hundred catties of wine.

However, the wine is only thirty or forty degrees, or even twenty or thirty degrees!

In his home, the traditional craftsmanship used, whether it is Daqu or Xiaoqu, can only produce 30 to 40 catties of wine for 100 catties of grain.

However, all the wine that comes out is high-level, pinching the head and removing the tail, and the lowest is fifty or sixty degrees!

Therefore, Tao Xiaowu is very proficient in how to make koji, how to add grain, how to ferment in the cellar, how to cook in the pot, how to pinch the head and remove the tail, and even how to add spices and alcohol for blending.

For example, steaming in a pot looks very simple. In fact, it is all technical work, as long as you use a shovel to send the grain into the pot.

But actually, it's not like that at all.

The fermented grain mixed with the chaff into the pot is very technological, and each spade is sent into the pot, it is necessary to pay attention to the strength, layer by layer, and it must not be compacted.

Otherwise, when steaming, the hot air cannot be heated evenly, which will affect the sake production.

On the contrary, the kind of integrated household brewing equipment that was later seen in the south did not have so many technical requirements.

Tao Xiaowu didn't think that in this era, if he could brew high-grade liquor, he would be able to make a fortune!

In this era when the yield per mu is only two or three hundred catties, it is the ideal social model for a husband to rule a hundred mu with a family of five.

In other words, a family of five needs at least 100 acres of land to survive.

In this situation where the yield per mu is too low and grain is a big problem, the government is extremely strict with the management of private brewing.

It's not that there are no people who make wine privately, but they are all rich and powerful people.

For example, Tao Xiaowu is now unstable and has no foundation, and if he engages in this thing, he is asking for his own death!

And the high cost also makes the price of this high liquor very high.

The key thing is that there are no cheap alcohol flavors in this world, and you can blend alcohol......

(By the way, basically, wine that costs tens of dollars, and even some wines that cost hundreds of dollars, are blended wine.)

Of course, some manufacturers now advertise that baijiu blending is a normal process for baijiu.

Well, it's just as normal as adding starch to beer production.

The Qing Dynasty has its own national conditions!)

And the high degree of wine is estimated not to be loved by literati doctors and dignitaries.

After all, not to mention the previous world, before I met, the dignitaries drank rice wine.

And this kind of thing is high-grade liquor, which is just a thing that is thought to have been popular since ancient times, but it has actually been circulated after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It is related to the culture of the army, of course, it is also related to the journey experience of the army in Yungui back then, and the special complex of those upstarts back then.

However, in the future, along with the improvement of living standards. Gradually, people still drank low-alcohol alcohol......

Tao Xiaowu still remembers that before he crossed over, he read an ancient Xiaomao book, written about Emperor Yang of Sui.

Emperor Yang of Sui felt that the alcohol content was too high at that time, and it was easy to get drunk, so he specially made a low-alcohol wine called jade wine, which could be drunk for a long time without getting drunk.

Tao Xiaowu felt that this was actually in line with human nature!

Of course, Tao Xiaowu wants to make wine privately, of course, not to make money.

After what happened to the Yan family, Tao Xiaowu knew that cultivation could not be stopped!

This world is not peaceful, I have no ability, and it is very likely that I will be eaten by others, and there will be no scum left.

But it is not appropriate to continue to take Yuehua, Tao Xiaowu estimates that if this continues, his emotions will be consumed one day and he will completely become a walking corpse!

However, he couldn't find the method of taking the essence of the day, so Tao Xiaowu still planned to brew high-grade liquor to try it and use it to take Yuehua to see how the effect was......

It's just that there are more difficulties and troubles than imagined.

Moreover, there are many troubles that you can't even think of beforehand!

For example...... No iron pots!

In this world, roughly equivalent to the Han Dynasty in the previous life, iron tools began to gradually appear, replacing various bronze tools.

But the problem is that at this time, iron tools are still only used on a large scale for weapons and agricultural tools.

As for kitchen stoves......

The nobles used bronze, and the common people only used pottery.

So in this era, if you want to eat stir-fried vegetables, you should wash and sleep.

In the previous life, stir-fried vegetables are said to have appeared after the Song Dynasty......

So don't talk about frying and frying now, at most it's some boiling and roasting.

Well, there are also some sashimi.

Boom!

Fortunately, the wizards of Wucheng's vein are quite ancient, and there are many bronzes, even bronze tripods that are only used by nobles.

The method of sake brewing is simple and simple, it is nothing more than mixing grain into koji and fermenting it in a cellar for a period of time.

Then it is steamed directly in the pot, and the steam is condensed in cold water and turned into liquor.

Speaking of which, it's almost like making distilled water with steam!

So, with a metal utensils to remodel, it can barely be used.

It's nothing more than a good seal!

This requires something like burlap and pine gum or fish glue and deer glue, and you can always find a suitable fit after a few more experiments.

Fortunately, there are five fathers and sons in this family surnamed Gong in Wuli, all of whom are skilled and know how to make utensils.

In addition, all the other families in Wuli helped out, and it took two days to manufacture a set of distillation and brewing equipment under the guidance of Tao Xiaowu.
