"Are there impurities? Are there flaws? However, we in the Dai Viet Dynasty almost always make wine this way, and ours is one of the best. No one has ever said it tastes bad."
Wu Xinlian heard this and said with some confusion.
The fermentation method itself is the most traditional and authentic wine-making method in the Dai Viet Dynasty and even in the entire ancient world. There has never been any other wine-making method spread out. It has been like this for thousands of years. Even some top-notch wines are made in
Only with the passage of time can the quality of the wine reach an astonishing level.
But at this moment, Wu Mu actually said that there was another brewing method that could produce a far more precious and rare brew than now. How could this not surprise and puzzle her?
"The distillation method can precipitate and filter the impurities in the wine, and then burn it with a strong fire. The wine in the pot will begin to boil, evaporate, and turn into alcohol. The alcohol is the essence of the wine. These alcohol odors will eventually flow along the bamboo tube.
Returning to the wine jar, what you get in this way is the essence of the wine. Not only does the wine become more fragrant, but the purity of the wine is higher and it becomes more intoxicating."
Wu Mu said with a faint smile.
Wu Xinlian was his sister, and he had to rely on Xinlian to re-temper his family's wine. He also had to put most of his thoughts on cultivation and prepare for the upcoming life-and-death duel.
What's more, once the fine wine produced by this distillation method spreads, if it does not have sufficient strength, it will not only be a blessing to the Wu family, but may also cause disaster.
Therefore, it is destined that he cannot stay at home all the time, but must constantly go out and look for opportunities.
"Is this really going to make the wine more fragrant and more intoxicating?" When Wu Xinlian heard this, there was excitement and curiosity on his face.
She knows that the concentration of wine that has been aged for decades is often much higher than that of newly brewed wine. Those noble families and the royal family regard them as treasures. If they can really make the wine
If the concentration becomes higher, your wine will definitely conquer the entire Longmen Town, and even drinkers from far and near.
But now, just by steaming it again, you can get a treasure that is ten times or a hundred times better than before.
This kind of thing seemed incredible to her.
"Haha, I pity you. After the wine is distilled, you will know that what I said is true. I discovered this accidentally." Wu Mu smiled lightly and didn't say much. No matter how much he said, it would be better to taste it with his own mouth.
It's more convincing.
Phew! Phew!!
The dry firewood burns quickly, emitting a steady stream of heat.
Wine itself is an easily volatile object. Now when it is heated, it immediately boils at an alarming speed. The cowhide covering the cauldron is instantly filled with streams of wine steam.
It quickly expanded and bulged, but due to the airtight nature of cowhide.
These alcoholic odors cannot penetrate the cowhide and escape.
However, there is still an opening in the cowhide, which is the bamboo tube.
After being unable to break through the cowhide, the pure alcohol smell immediately swarmed away along the bamboo tube.
Wow!!
When the alcohol was poured into the bamboo tube, Wu Mu had already lifted a bucket of cold well water to the side, picked up the bucket, and quickly poured it on the bamboo tube. The cold well water instantly made the bamboo tube change.
It was freezing cold. The odor of wine that originally poured into the bamboo tube turned into droplets of wine after encountering the cold, flowing along the bamboo tube towards the wine jar at the other end.
As the fire in the stove continued one after another.
Not long after, I saw that the wine jar was still filled with wine.
Immediately, Wu Mu brought over an empty wine jar again to replace the full one.
Time passes quietly in the process of cooking wine with fire. Wine itself is easy to evaporate. As long as it is heated a little, it will turn into wine vapor at an alarming rate. Even if it is a whole pot, it will be enough for ten jars.
The fermented rice can be used as the wine in the pot, and it has completely evaporated, and it only took half an hour.
Looking around, there were already six wine jars placed at his feet.
The rich aroma of wine naturally escapes along the wine jar.
"Ten jars of wine turned out to be six jars, four jars missing. However, this wine smells so good." Wu Xinlian stood up and looked at the six jars of wine in front of him, five of which were still full.
After re-sealing, there was still one jar left, but Wu Mu did not seal the jar immediately so that Wu Xinlian could see the wine in the jar with his own eyes.
"Although four jars are missing, the essence of those four jars is condensed in these six jars. Moreover, the value of those four jars is not even worth a fraction of the value of these six jars of wine."
Wu Mu glanced at the wine in the jar and said with a confident smile on his face.
"This wine is so clear and crystal-clear. I have seen other people's aged wines that have been stored for ten years. That wine is not as clear as the one in front of us. There is not even a trace of impurities. Moreover, the wine's aroma is richer than before.
, it’s several times, ten times richer.”
Wu Xinlian opened his eyes wide and looked at the wine in front of him in disbelief.
If you compare the previous wine with the wine in front of you, it's not even worthy of carrying your shoes. This is a peerless treasure, but such a wine was brewed as simply as just now?
"Haha, little sister, take a sip and see the difference between the wine brewed by distillation and our previous wine." Wu Mu smiled calmly, then took out a small bamboo tube used for peony wine, and put it in the wine
He scooped out a small glass of wine from the altar.
Pour it into the bowl next to it.
I poured two bowls in a row.
"Brother, I'll drink it then." Wu Xinlian's face turned red with excitement. He reached out to hold up a bowl of wine, opened his mouth, purred, and poured a small sip into his mouth.
The Wu family has always been brewing wine. Both Wu Mu and Wu Xinlian have grown up drinking wine. Their own drinking capacity is not small at all. Even though Wu Xinlian is a girl, when they drink wine, even a 18-foot tall man will be drunk.
He may not be able to outdrink her. Wu Mu is not afraid of her getting drunk.
Picking up the bowl in front of him, he opened his mouth and took a sip. This sip also made Wu Mu show a look of satisfaction on his face. He nodded secretly and said: "Okay!! Although it is only a rough distillation, this wine is
The concentration should be around 15 or 16 degrees. If it is distilled twice or three times, it should be able to increase the concentration of the wine to over 20 degrees."
"What a spicy wine. There is no impurity in the taste of this wine. The taste is also pure and mellow, not a bit astringent like before. Moreover, although the throat is a bit spicy just after drinking it, after the spiciness, there is a pleasant feeling.
Straight to the head."
But at this moment, Wu Xinlian, who had taken a few sips of the new wine, his face turned red on the spot, and his eyes showed an incredible joy and joy.
This wine tasted better than the ten-year-old wine she had drunk before, and its concentration was even higher.
She had never heard of such wine.
You know, the price of ten-year-old wine is based on the pot. According to the size of a normal wine pot, a pot of wine is half a catty. But the price of a pot of wine is a full one hundred.
A black iron coin. And a jar of wine can probably hold ten kilograms of wine. In other words, a jar of wine can be sold for a sky-high price of two thousand black iron coins.
It's simply not something ordinary people can afford to drink.
Two thousand black iron coins, if converted into bronze coins, would be twenty bronze coins.
Black iron coins are only the lowest currency. On top of black iron coins are bronze coins. Bronze coins are already the currency circulated among monks. Black iron coins are the most common currency in secular circulation.
In terms of exchange, one hundred black iron coins can be exchanged for one bronze coin. The exchange ratio between the two is a hundred times different.
Wu Xinlian could feel that the wine he just drank was definitely better and of higher quality than the ten-year-old wine. A bottle of ten-year-old wine could sell for two thousand black iron coins.
, a jar can definitely be sold for the same price, or even better.
"Ten jars of wine can brew six jars of new wine. There are five hundred jars in the wine cellar. If new wine is brewed, it will be three hundred jars. Each jar will cost two thousand black iron coins. Three hundred jars, how much will it cost?
.Mom can be saved."
Wu Xinlian blinked hard and started to calculate quickly. Although he couldn't figure out how much money he could get at the moment, the money to buy the Heart-Building Pill for his mother was more than enough.
"Don't worry, little sister. Although this wine is good, once word spreads, it will definitely make the whole Longmen Town boil. Although there are laws of the imperial dynasty, people's hearts are sinister. No matter how strict the laws are, it will be difficult to stop them from controlling people's hearts.
, how can the value of the new wine be hidden from those who are interested in it? Once they have evil intentions, with our strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop it. There is no rush to release the new wine. Moreover, our Wu family must not sell the wine for the time being. "
Wu Mu's eyes flashed with light. With his experience, how could he not imagine that once the new wine spreads, it will cause an amazing sensation in Longmen Town. By then, I am afraid that those aristocratic families will not turn a blind eye.
.The Wu family will definitely be at the forefront of the storm. The ship will sink and be destroyed at any time.
To release new wine hastily is to seek death.
He wouldn't dare risk his family's lives on a ten-thousandth risk.
"Brother! But what should I do about my mother's illness?"
When Wu Xinlian heard this, a look of anxiety suddenly appeared on his face. If he couldn't sell wine, he wouldn't be able to get enough money. If he didn't have money, he wouldn't be able to buy heart-tonifying pills.
"Xin Lian, you don't have to worry. Of course we have to sell wine, but we are not selling it ourselves. I will handle these matters myself. Distilling wine still has to continue. My next step is to sell the wine in the cellar.
Wine, all brewed into the new wine now.”
Wu Mu said calmly, looking confident, as if he had already made a plan.
"Brother!! Do you want to go out?"
Wu Xinlian was also smart. From Wu Mu's words, he immediately heard a hint of other meanings and quickly stared at them and asked.
