Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 151
Chapter 150 Second Sake Muddy Wine

"Lang Jun's new forging method, the fine iron forged is indeed much more powerful than the predecessor's hundred-smelting steel,

If this kind of fine steel is used to make the crankshaft mentioned by Mr. Lang, it will naturally not be afraid of water corrosion. "

Li Yu's act of sending the kitchen knife to Chang'an made Gongshuban appreciate it very much, and he was fully focused on researching it at the moment.

"This bearing, I also made it clear, it's hard to explain, after calling a few blacksmiths and Ah Gui in the past two days, after it's built, the patriarch will know it at a glance.

The most important thing is that the damming of the river embankment is imminent. How to choose the site and how many drums to add need to be investigated by the patriarch before making a conclusion.

Now it will be Yuanzheng in one month, the time is too tight, and any delay will be wasted.

And the weather is getting colder and colder, so the patriarch still needs to work hard, hurry up and settle down the site selection and other matters.

Ordinary village households can start working step by step, and strive to do everything well before the great cold comes. "

"Don't worry, sir, you don't need to worry about this matter. This afternoon, the old man will take the children of the clan and go to the river to investigate carefully.
I can make a general decision tonight, Mr. Lang can call the people of the village first,

The day after tomorrow will be an auspicious day. After the old man finishes his survey today, he will discuss with his clansmen tomorrow. It just so happens that Mr. Lang has also summoned the people, and the work can start the day after tomorrow.
As for the stones used to cut the walls, they can be harvested by Li Yu in Qinling Mountains, and now they are reinforced with cement.

The embankment built will definitely be stronger and more durable than the rammed clay used by the predecessors. "

"It's so good. Now that there is Patriarch Lao, the former craftsman is also in charge of the expansion of the granary. The masons in the village don't have to repair the river embankment."

The two carefully discussed matters concerning the river course and the granary, and the Gongshuban left in a hurry.

Li Yu was going to rest in the backyard when he saw Li Zhong bringing an old man and a middle-aged man in together.

"Sir, the villain is back. The father and son used to make wine in Shandong before fleeing. It is a family handed down craftsmanship. They have been in Lantian for more than ten years. You can use it with confidence."

Li Yu frowned, "When I was looking for carpenters and blacksmiths, dozens of them came casually. Now that my husband is brewing wine, why only two people came?"

Li Zhong explained with a smile; "Your Majesty does not know that the crafts of carpenters and blacksmiths are widely spread, and there is no shortage of them among the people.
But this brewing has been drunk by the nobles of aristocratic families since ancient times. It is not easy for the common people to have a full stomach. How can they have time to drink wine?
Moreover, this method of brewing wine is mostly in the hands of aristocratic families, wealthy households, and merchants, and it is not spread among the people, so there are very few people who can brew wine. "

Li Yu thought so; isn't it true? In ancient times, there were droughts and floods, or wars and turmoil. It was good for the common people to have enough to eat. The luxurious life of eating wine and meat was too far away from the common people.

"Since the wine making skills of the two of you are inherited from your family, why do you want to live in my Li family's village?"

Li Yu asked curiously.

Seeing that the old man took a step forward and replied: "I want to report to you sir, the villain used to be a small family in Shandong. Although he didn't have a lot of wealth, he could still eat enough by keeping the craftsmanship passed down from his ancestors.

It's just that the world was in chaos back then, and the villain took his wife, children, and children to escape the chaos of war everywhere.
I have been homeless for more than a year, and all the money I brought wasted. Thanks to the help of the old county man, I was able to settle down in this Lantian.

It has been more than ten years of farming and farming now, and they are no longer homeless. The old man's family has thanked heaven and earth,
It's just that the old man was born to be good at wine, so he couldn't help but use the extra grain to brew some dirty wine to satisfy his tongue.

Li Guanshi found the old man's house after a little inquiring.

Knowing that Mr. Lang wanted to brew fine wine, the old man volunteered to help Mr. Lang,
This is the eldest son of the old man. He usually participates in the wine making, so he can make a start.

Da Lang, hurry up and meet Lang Jun. "

"I've seen Mr. Lang!"

"You don't need to be too polite, I don't understand something, please ask my father-in-law for advice!"

"Don't dare, sir, but ask something, the old man knows everything, and he can say everything!"

"I also want to ask, I have been brewing wine for many days, and the brewing method is not inferior to others. Why is the wine sour?"

The old man heard that Li Yu made sour wine, so he couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, brewing wine is quite troublesome, although it is not difficult, but it cannot be achieved in a short period of time, it needs to be fermented and precipitated.

Mr. Lang wanted to make wine in just a few days. He was too impatient. Moreover, all the wines used were hot water and cooled. If raw water was used, the wine would go bad. If it was not fermented, it would fail. You need to be careful, if you are a little careless, everything will be damaged."

There are three kinds of fine wines seen today. One is fruit wine, which is the wine mentioned in Lang Jun's poems. This kind of fruit wine is mostly eaten by the nobles of the family.

One is the blended wine, which is mainly made of rice wine as the base wine, and then mixed with spices or medicinal materials, soaked and steamed.

Today's popular blended wines include seasonal wine, spice wine, pine wine and so on.

As for seasonal wine, there are mugwort, calamus wine, and dogwood wine.

This wine is not eaten much, and it is only drunk during seasons.

The third is brewing wine, because it is brewed from rice, it is also called rice wine, and because the rice is white, it is also called white wine.

This kind of liquor is divided into sake and cloudy wine.

Sake is called sake because it is as clear as water after being made into wine.

However, because the brewing time is too long, the brewing process is too complicated, and a lot of rice is wasted, few people brew it.

The turbid wine is just the opposite. It takes a short time, consumes less food, produces more wine, and is easy to craft, so it is spread all over the world.

I don't know what kind of creation is made by Mr. Lang? "

"Oh, my lord brews this kind of turbid wine,"

Li Yu saw that the old man talked about wine in a logical manner, and couldn't help admiring him. He also thought to himself, after all, he is an expert, and this rhetoric alone is not easy.

"Since Mr. Lang wants to brew turbid wine, the old man can teach you everything you need. The old man's decades of craftsmanship will definitely not let Mr. Wang waste too much rice."

"No, no, no, my lord doesn't have the time to fiddle with those all day long,
Mr. Ben wants to build a wine-making workshop. After making good wine,

Take it to Chang'an City, exchange some money, and support the construction of several other Zhuangzi, so I came up with the wine making business.

You are the only family of common people in these villages who know this craft. I want to entrust you with this wine-making workshop, just like the brick-making guru...

I wonder if my husband may take over this matter? "

Li Yu didn't even blink his eyes when he was talking nonsense.

He is a loser. To put it bluntly, he just wants to make money, and he wants to use the method of brewing wine to make him turn upside down.

This will make the matter of wine making so sacred,

Why can the poor people of these five Zhuangzi live in the big red brick house?

It is also for the poor peasants, so that they will have enough food and clothing in the future, more consideration, etc., etc.

Keep putting gold on your face!
This old man is just an ordinary citizen, how can he stand up to the indiscriminate bombardment of such great principles,
I just feel that I took this job of brewing wine, as if I did my best for the people of Zhuangzi,

Of course, the matter of accumulating yin virtue in this way must be followed up, not only must it be followed up, but also be done with vigor and vigor like that brick-burning guru, in order to show one's own ability.

At the same time, like Jiu Lao, he has a high prestige in Zhuangzi, and he can have unlimited scenery!
