Chapter 224 Distilled Wine

Jiang Zhao nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

She was afraid that Si Mubai would not understand and bought the wrong wine.

The two came to the tavern.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

It really is a tavern here, and the smell of wine is everywhere.

Jiang Zhao and Simu Bai found a table and sat down, and the waiter immediately came over to say hello.

"You two guests, what kind of wine do you want to drink?"

"Do you have Huadiao wine here?"

Jiang Zhao asked.

Xiaoer smiled: "The guest officer has come to the right place. The Huadiao wine in our tavern is the most authentic in all of Kyoto, with a full range of color and fragrance."

Saying that, Xiaoer went to get a stall of Huadiao wine.

Uncork the wine and serve a glass in a snow-white ceramic bowl.

The color is yellow, and there are some turbidity visible to the naked eye.

Although it has a wine aroma when poured out, it is not strong.

Jiang Zhao picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, feeling a little astringent.

She frowned, this bowl of wine was much worse than the wine Qi Cheng Wudi invited herself to drink.

It seems that the wine Cheng Wudi drank should be top-notch.

"Xiao Er, bring us three jars of this wine."

Jiang Zhao turned to Xiao Er and said.

Xiao Er immediately smiled, and responded: "Hey, okay, wait a moment, sir, I'll go get the wine right away."

After a while, Xiao Er brought in three jars of Huadiao wine.

After Si Mubai paid the money, he loaded the wine into the carriage.

There are three full jars of wine, each about twenty catties.

Sixty catties of wine were piled on the carriage.

Jiang Zhao stepped into the carriage and said to Simu Bai.

"Look, I'll use this wine to make fine nectar for you in a while."

It will definitely not be possible to brew wine for a while, so we can only experiment with ready-made wine.

Back home, Jiang Zhao poured the entire sixty catties of Huadiao wine into the distillation vessel.

Then Si Mubai lit a fire in the courtyard, then set up a shelf, and put the distillation vessel on top of the fire to roast.

Jiuqi heard the movement coming out from the inside, saw such a big and such a strange thing, and asked.

"What are you doing?"

"We are brewing fine nectar."

Jiang Zhao said foolishly.

Jiuqi's eyes lit up when he heard the words Qiongyeyuye: "What Qiongyeyuye, can drinking it prolong life?"

Jiang Zhao shook his head: "No, at most it can make you feel like a fairy, and then let you experience what is called the world of bliss."

When she said that, Jiu Qi became even more curious.

His eyes were fixed on the strange iron bucket.

If it really contained fine nectar and jade liquid, then he would be a witness to the birth of fine nectar and jade liquid.

If he can taste it again, then he will have the capital to brag about in the future.

Jiang Zhao kept poking the fire below to make the fire burn hotter.

Because the iron bucket is sealed, it is impossible to see the situation inside it now.

Jiang Zhao added firewood to the bottom according to the weight of the wine, so that the wine inside could be fully distilled.

After the firewood was set up, several people went back to their rooms to rest, as long as they came down from time to time to look at the fire, there was no need to stay by the side all the time.

Jiuqi came to visit the most times, just wanting to see with his own eyes what Jiang Zhao's fine nectar and jade liquid are.

Because the iron barrel made by Jiang Zhao was sealed, there was not even a trace of alcohol smell coming out of it.

As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Zhao reckoned that the wine inside should be almost distilled, so he removed the firewood below and let it cool down slowly.

In the evening, I had dinner delivered by Jingshui Tower.

Touching the iron barrel with his hand, he felt that it was almost cooled. He opened the iron barrel and scooped out two spoonfuls of wine from it with a long spoon.

Jiuqi, who has always been curious about what kind of nectar it is, just stared at it.

As soon as the lid was lifted, a strong aroma of wine came out from inside.

"I said what kind of fine nectar and jade liquid, it turned out to be wine."

Jiu Qi said with some disdain, this wine can't be bought anywhere, and he has to toss about it at home.

Jiang Zhao scooped the wine into a bowl and sniffed it closely.

"Well, this wine is fragrant after being distilled once, and the color is more transparent than before."

But it still didn't meet her expectations.

In the previous life, the sorghum wine she drank was as clear and transparent as anyone else.

Although this wine is much more transparent, a little yellow can still be seen, and the turbidity is not much visible.

She took a sip, and it was even more fragrant than the wine that Cheng Wudi invited her to drink before.

But it should be more intense, as soon as you swallow it, you will feel a burning sensation in your throat.

This is the shochu from the previous life.

But Jiang Zhao decided to distill it again until it achieved true transparency.

Si Mubai smelled the aroma of the wine and said.

"This wine is indeed much more fragrant than the previous one."

Then he took a sip from the bowl and said: "It's much stronger, I think this wine will be more popular in the army."

Jiang Zhao nodded: "That's right, I think Uncle Cheng will like this wine."

Jiu Qi couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, so he took a sip from what Si Mubai said.

It feels like my throat is going to be hoarse.

"Cough, cough, why is this wine so strong? It hurts the throat of the person who drinks it."

Jiang Zhao smiled and snatched the wine bowl from him: "If you don't know how to drink it, don't waste my wine."

This wine can be sold for a lot of money.

Turn the airtight barrel in the other direction and continue the distillation to see if you can distill pure liquor.

A sufficient amount of firewood was added below, and several people returned to the room to rest.

At night, sleep is the right way.

In the quiet garden, the matches continued to crackle.

The burning flame reflected on the iron barrel, illuminating a corner of the garden.

Time passed slowly, and more than half of the firewood in the stove had been burned.

But the sky was not yet bright, and the moon was still hanging above the sky, emitting a cool moonlight.

The little person sleeping in the room turned over and continued to sleep.

It was not until midnight that the match was burned out.

The iron barrel cooled down slowly in the cold night, and the liquid inside also slowly cooled until it was completely cold.

Early the next morning, the sun rose slowly, but was blocked by thick clouds.

After Jiang Zhao got up, he hurried to the garden to see if the wine he had distilled yesterday was good.

After a night of cold air, when I touched it with my hands, there was a biting coldness coming from the iron bucket.

Hurry up and take your hand back, this thing is too cold.

Open the lid and smell it, the smell of wine inside is so strong that you feel drunk just by smelling it.

I want to taste it, but I'm still on an empty stomach. If I take a sip of such a strong wine, I guess I'll have to meet you in the hospital today.

Jiang Zhao brought the jar and scooped out the white wine inside.

I don't know how much will be left after distilling [-] catties of Huadiao wine.

Take out a spoon and scoop it out one by one.

Take a spoonful and pour it into the bowl. It is already very close to the water. If you don't look carefully, you can't see the color.
