Jagged Legion

He Xiaowang and Cuicui went to the street every day to sell meat, and he was very busy selling furs, but he really couldn't make much money this way.With this business, although the small money continues, the big money can't come into the account.He Xiaowang thought about how to earn more money, and thought twice.This is how it was done in the "japonica rice wine" of the Qin Dynasty: "To make clear, cover it with a pot and seal it with dense mud. After seven days, it will be very clear. Take the clear one and then charge it."Firstly, let the liquor be clarified naturally. After taking the supernatant liquor, the distiller’s grains below are used to further extract the liquor.In ancient Chinese characters, "加"通"压", should be pressed from top to bottom with a heavy object.In order to dry the distiller's grains.A press plate and some kind of filter medium may be used as a combination to press down the lees, and the slightly clear wine will be displayed again. At that time, there were special wooden pressing tools.He Xiaowang chose to sell wine. He Xiaowang found that the wine here was all turbid wine, and the filter was not very good.Also, the alcohol content here is too low, not as exciting as the current beer.He Xiaowang was thinking about how to make good wine.

According to the legend of Chinese civilization, wine making began with Du Kang, who said that Du Kang "has endless food, leaves empty mulberry, stagnates into flavor, and accumulates fragrance for a long time. The leftovers that have not been eaten are placed in the tree holes in the mulberry garden. After the leftovers are fermented in the holes, there is an aromatic smell.This is the way of wine, and there is no strange way.It is very in line with the laws of some inventions and inventions to be inspired by some accidental opportunities in life. This record has been handed down in later generations, and Du Kang has become able to pay attention to the small things around him and start it in time. The inventor of creative inspiration.It's as if Newton came to the conclusion of "universal gravitation" because of an apple falling on his head.All this is so natural.

After thinking about it again and again, He Xiaowang decided to make wine, but the wine-making equipment, He Xiaowang felt that the wine-making equipment of the Qin Dynasty was very backward, and he could not brew mellow liquor.He Xiaowang spent a day and a night drawing the blueprints of the brewing equipment.Then the parts were separated and handed over to local carpenters to make them according to the drawings.He Xiaowang said to Cui Cui: "Take it and ask the carpenter to make it, and tell them that it must be made according to the above pattern. We will pay him three times the usual price." Whatever you do, take it without asking.

It was made soon. He Xiaowang observed the manufactured utensils, and the assembly was similar to modern brewing utensils, but the sealing technology was not very good.He Xiaowang said to Cui Cui: "How much money do we have now? Buy the rest of the money as food." He Xiaowang asked Cui Cui to help, and Cui Cui kept lighting the fire. He Xiaowang stirred and observed With the secretion of alcohol, I bought 30 catties of grain and brewed 10 catties of liquor.He Xiaowang tasted it, and the smell of alcohol rushed into his throat. He Xiaowang smacked his lips: "It's close, it's close." Tears flowed straight down: "Oh, what kind of wine is this? Good wine! Good wine! It's really exciting!" The man from Northwest also praised the strong wine.He Xiaowang is relieved, the next step is how to sell it.He Xiaowang saw that the best aged wine here was sold for three copper coins per catty, so He Xiaowang decided to set the price of the wine at 30 guan per catty.He Xiaowang brought Cuicui to the biggest restaurant here: Yuanlai Restaurant.

He Xiaowang went in and said to the shopkeeper, "Where is your boss? I have some good wine to sell to him, please tell him." The shopkeeper saw He Xiaowang was a man of talent, with extraordinary appearance and handsome appearance, and felt that he was a great man. backing.He hurriedly said: "You do it first, and I will invite the owner right away." The shopkeeper came to the back room and said to the owner: "My owner, there is a young man who claims to sell you good wine. Look?" Is there any good wine in our store, no see, no see," the shopkeeper said, "Master, I see that young man is not an ordinary person, let's take a look, otherwise don't offend him." The owner pondered for a moment: "Okay, just go and have a look , What kind of fairy is this?"

When the owner came outside, seeing He Xiaowang, he hurried forward when he saw He Xiaowang: "What's your business?" When the owner heard this, he thought to himself: "A wine seller. I have seen a lot. You come to sell wine here, and you want me to meet you in person. Who are you!?" Seeing that he had no background, the owner immediately called He changed his face: "What wine? We came to the restaurant for any wine, even the princes and ministers came here to drink!" He Xiaowang smiled: "Your wine is really not good? Why don't you try my wine How is it?" He Xiaowang opened the lid of the wooden barrel as he said, and a burst of strong aroma came to his nostrils.Just as the owner was about to say something, he was suddenly attracted by the mellow aroma of the liquor. This owner is also a good wine guy, a master of wine tasting, just like this one, as soon as he smelled the aroma, he concluded that this is absolutely good wine!The owner hurriedly said: "My little brother, can you let me taste it?" He Xiaowang scooped up a little with a small spoon, and the owner took a sip and swallowed it slowly. Deep down, ha!Take a breath. "En! Good wine! It really is good wine!" The owner said: "May I ask you how much this wine is for?" He Xiaowang stretched out three fingers, and the owner said: "Sanguan? Okay, I bought it Buy as much as you have!" He Xiaowang shook his head and said, "Not much, thirty guan for a catty." "Thirty guan!? Bro, are you kidding me? This wine is good but not too expensive, isn't it?" ? It’s so expensive, who will buy it? No, no, no.”

He Xiaowang said: "If you say that, you are an amateur. Don't we know? You can sell it for 20 guan. Everyone likes good wine!" The owner said: "Okay, We made a deal, and now I bought your wine, but we have to agree that you can only sell it to my family, and not to other restaurants. We sign a document and buy your wine at the price of [-] guan. And we must guarantee that [-] catties of wine will be delivered every month. Then we will buy it, otherwise we will not want even the best wine!" He Xiaowang: "My boss is refreshing! Okay, let's sign the document now!"

Cuicui didn't expect to sell it, thirty guan a catty!It is a full sixty times the price of ordinary wine!No matter how good the wine is, it's only three times. I didn't expect such huge profits!After He Xiaowang went back, he immediately decided to hire a few people to make wine, so that he could save time, have a good time, and study the customs of the Qin Dynasty.

He Xiaowang hired four laborers, and He Xiaowang paid them two guan wages every month, which was enough for an ordinary family's annual expenses.Those people also worked very hard, and He Xiaowang handed over the wine delivery and brewing to Cui Cui and the old man.Cui Cui was unequivocal at all, she just did what she should do, without the slightest twitch.

He Xiaowang thinks more far-reaching. Although he has no worries about food and clothing, he still cannot develop well.So He Xiaowang planned to plan a wine fight!In this way, Hexiaowang wine will become famous all over the world, and the real cornucopia will be here!
