Jinghua little cook

Chapter 211 Whiskey

The next day, Liansheng, who had signed the contract, suddenly woke up from the aroma of wine, meat and rice.

"It's not good. I have sent one hundred and eight boxes of dowry to He Zhen. This is equivalent to giving it to the saint for free."

"Now, I am doing farming and animal husbandry business with the imperial court. The imperial court takes three, and I take seven..."

"I've made money, sir." Butler Wang, who had served Liansheng for decades, said with a smile.

"How to make money?"

"Didn't I bring back the business of Huihe people to the imperial court? I made three profits in the process."

Lian Sheng gestured: "Then the imperial court still made seven."

He couldn't describe the feeling.

Although it was a win-win situation, he felt uncomfortable every time someone else won more points than him, and he was willing to hand over this point.

Butler Wang took the clothes ironed by his servant and spread them on the clothes rail: "Didn't I say that before I came to Beijing, I wanted to support Er Niang? As long as Er Niang is happy, it's fine. If I want to cooperate with the court, no matter who is in the Bai family As a superior, my second mother will not lose anything even if you rely on me."

This statement is not unreasonable.

The second mother will not be at a loss, and she will certainly not be at a loss when she proposes marriage to her granddaughter in Shu.

After all the calculations, this transaction was still a profit.

Lian Shengzhuo pulled on his shoes, but before he could stand up, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

His forehead was plump and shiny, and the sound of the slap was no small matter.

Butler Wang looked back and saw a regretful look on his face, and said in surprise: "What did you think of again?"

"Huh." Lian Sheng thought of something, and he thought of Xiao Hezhen who made him angry.

He gave her so much gold, silver and jewels, but even his own granddaughter Wu Niang didn't get these benefits. Unfortunately, this girl can now bend her elbows outwards, and all she cares about is the Erlang of the Bai family.

Yesterday, on the surface, this man said that he could teach her the art of raising pigs when she returned to Shu. Later, she said that he hoped he would not let her go through all her hard work in vain.

He clearly meant to ask for money.

But without this deal, she would still be opening a restaurant in Shuzhong, right?Over and over again, he would give He Zhen one point out of seven!Isn’t giving to Hezhen the same as giving to the imperial court?
Lian Sheng let out a long sigh.

Butler Wang covered his mouth with joy when he saw it.

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Among these juniors, it is the second mother who is most like you."

Lian Sheng, who was still angry, raised his head and glared at someone. Butler Wang quickly turned back and continued working.

The old man sighed.

That's all, as long as the children are harmonious and live a happy life, just think of him as doing good deeds.

Lian Sheng chuckled lightly: Butler Wang's words are also very accurate. They all say that their daughters are like their uncle's family. Among these children, He Zhen's head is just like his.

"Ah-"

"A-Ling, don't catch a cold! Go back and put on some clothes!"

Lu Xiling shook his head, he was really a little dizzy. Maybe it was because he drank wine at his uncle's place yesterday and the wind hit him again when he turned around.

Wrapped in cotton-padded clothes, he sat up and looked out the window at the warm sun. Lu Xiling squinted his eyes for a while, took out his deerskin boots from the cabinet, and found a fox fur to wrap himself up and down tightly.

Douya smiled: "Ah Ling looks like a dumpling."

Lu Xiling looked in the mirror.

Nonsense, clearly like bread.

"The store is closed today, why did you get up so early?"

The restaurant had been open for a long time, and Lu Xiling became more and more out of shape, wanting to rest every now and then.

After all, after taking care of food and clothing, for her, the purpose of making money is to enjoy it.

Unfortunately, this idea was not understandable to the ancients who insisted that "when you are rich, you will accumulate more, and when you are thrifty, you will receive relief."

Only Douyao stood on his side from beginning to end.

Later, when the two sides reached a stalemate, they each took a step back and took three days off each month, on the fifth day, the fifteenth day, and the 25th day of the lunar month.

The dates for Xiumu and Bai Erlang also coincided.

Lu Xiling looked at the remaining breakfast on the table and then at the water leak. The neighbor next door must have overslept today, so why hasn't he come home to have breakfast yet? "Have you forgotten, Ah Ling? Today is the day for His Highness the Fourth Prince to return to Beijing." Douya reminded.

Lu Xiling understood: "So that's the case. It seems that I am really drunk. Now that His Highness the Fourth Prince is coming back, I have to come up with something new."

"A Ling, what are you going to make delicious food?"

Lu Xiling smiled knowingly.

It's not food, it's wine, ice wine that can make people dream.

"Alcohol? Are you going to become an alcoholic?"

Lu Xiling laughed out loud.

Thinking of the ancient saint Jerry and the poet saint, who is not drunk and happy.She used to have no one to drink with, so she couldn't appreciate the mystery of wine. Now that she has relatives and friends around her, she can enjoy the beauty of wine.

Come to think of it, although she drank wine last night, she didn't act like a drunkard. Her drinking capacity and taste should be pretty good. In the future, it would be good news to spread the word about being a wine master or a master of wine.

Lu Xiling was thinking as he walked outside as if the wind was blowing under his feet.

In the era that Lu Xiling lives in today, wine-making technology still relies on the upper limit of fermentation, so the alcohol content also has an upper limit, and it doesn't taste fragrant enough, let alone pure enough.

Later generations relied on distillation to extract alcohol, and the concentration of wine increased a lot.

Right now, she wants to build a distillation device to make wine.

As for what kind of wine to make.

That's of course the whiskey in the system recipe.

Whiskey is known as the water of life and is favored by wine lovers. Its alcohol content is between 40 and 60 degrees. It tastes a bit strong when drunk alone, but if it is paired with fruit drinks and tea, the taste is just right. .

Lu Xiling licked the tip of his tongue and walked straight into the liquor store.

The technology of distillation also existed in ancient times. This was due to the fact that wealthy people regarded winemaking as an elegant hobby.

But the tools used are quite different.

The main body of the distiller that can be bought in the liquor store is a barrel. The structure is a double-layer belly. There is a slight gap between the two layers of belly. There is also a breathable grate installed at the bottom, which should be used to receive the steaming material. .

The advantages are obvious, the device is large, solid in structure, and easy to store.

The disadvantage... Lu Xiling thought that she hadn't made wine for a long time, and it was the first time she used such primitive distillation equipment. She couldn't see clearly the liquid inside. What if it accidentally burned and exploded.

To be on the safe side, Lu Xiling just bought the thing back as a specimen, and then spent a lot of money to buy a glass vase, which is a glass container to replace the main body.

Liang Chen looked at him and called him a good guy.

"This glass is more expensive than wine."

Everyone only dared to look at it but not touch it. If they damaged it, they would have wasted all their work last year.

Lu Xiling closed his eyes.

As long as she doesn't think about it, her purse won't hurt.

Lu Xiling waved his hand: "It's not a big problem. The glass is used to steam wine, and the wooden barrel is used to steam toilet water. It can also repel insects in summer."

Wheat, barley, rye, corn, the advantage of opening a restaurant is that you can get whatever you want out of season.

Lu Xiling chose a blend of rye and corn.

This is what Canadian whiskey is made of.

The taste is refreshing than that of Ireland and Scotland, and it is more popular among the literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After soaking the rye and corn, it will take at least 21 days to brew. If you calculate, it happens to be on February [-]nd.

Think of whiskey paired with pork head, wow, it tastes so good!

"A Ling, the food will get cold if you don't eat it. I've already heated it up for you twice in the kitchen." Dou Ya said, pulling on Lu Xiling's sleeve.

I don’t know when His Royal Highness will come to Beijing. There is no news at all on the streets. Maybe he will have to wait until night.

Although there was no palace banquet in Taiwan, their family would definitely have a night talk around the fire after not seeing each other for a long time.

Lu Xiling thought for a while and dusted himself off: "Okay, let's eat now."

　I wish you all a happy Double Holidays, good food, drink and fun.
