Although privately brewing and selling alcohol is a serious crime, it is not prosecuted by the people and the officials.
Not to mention, Wuli is a remote place and few people come here.
What's more important is that the entire Wuli is Tao Xiaowu's territory, and everyone in Wuli is his own people, so they don't worry about leaks.
The most important thing is, after killing the head of the Yan family.
Wuli's reputation has spread once again. Even if they know that Wuli is secretly brewing wine, no one will dare to cause trouble!
…
There are countless tombs at the foot of Hengting Mountain.
Since ancient times, people from hundreds of miles around have been buried in Hengting Mountain after their death.
According to legend, there is a god in this place, named Lord of Hengting, who takes in ghosts and cures them and makes the dead dwell there.
Of course, in this era, all the gods in famous mountains and rivers seem to have the priesthood of Hades to manage ghosts.
At this time, in the underworld of the ghost uncle Hengting, everything was dark, empty, and filled with mist.
Countless ghosts wandered inside, screaming and wailing.
Only one mountain city was shrouded in light, shining brightly.
Of course, those who can live in this city have sold land coupons.
But those wild ghosts wandering outside have never bought land coupons.
They wandered in the darkness, roaring in pain, killing and devouring each other in the permeating black ghost aura.
There is only a majestic city on a high platform, which seems to be the only source of light in this world, covering the city.
All wandering ghosts, as long as they encounter this kind of light, will immediately fly away without leaving a trace behind!
At this time, deep in the high platform, suddenly, there was a red light vibrating, like a flame, as if a great hall was on fire at this moment.
However, everyone in Taicheng knew that it was not a fire, but that Hengshanjun, who had been sleeping for many years, woke up!
Wu Cheng also saw this scene from a distance. At this time, he did not realize that Hengshan Jun's awakening had anything to do with him!
The place where he lives now is in this inner courtyard of the city. It covers an area of several acres and looks quite impressive. It is certainly much better than the place where he lived during his lifetime.
In fact, any ordinary house in this ghost town is much more magnificent than the one in the human world.
However, at this time, a group of soldiers marched straight in and came to Wucheng.
Then they saw clanging armor and a group of black-armored ghost soldiers quickly escorting several chariots and surrounding Wucheng's residence.
"The Lord God has a purpose. I heard that Er Wucheng is a lineage of ancient wizards and has inherited the witchcraft weapons of the ancient wizards. The Lord God wants to see it...
Wu Cheng, bring your things and come with me to see the Lord God!"
A priest said to Wu Cheng in a cold voice.
Wu Cheng was horrified: "I dare not hide anything from the gods, but where do I have any ancient witchcraft weapons?
If there really was such a thing, how could I be like this?"
What Wucheng said made sense, but the gods didn't believe that Wucheng had any great witchcraft on him.
After all, this Wu Cheng doesn’t have any abilities, does he?
However, since this is the decree passed down by the God himself, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Here, you dare to quibble, arrest him! Do you know that the head of the Yan family in Hengyin has been killed by your disciples, and his soul has returned to his body?"
The god official gave the order, and several ghost soldiers immediately came forward and arrested Wu Cheng without hesitation.
Wu Cheng did not resist.
Not to mention whether he has the ability to resist.
To put it simply, his house has been surrounded by ghost soldiers, which makes his resistance meaningless!
However, Wu Cheng's heart also became messy. It was said that his lineage had indeed been brilliant in his early years, but after it was passed into his hands, it had lost much ability.
Could it be that his lineage really has some powerful witchcraft inheritance?
How come he doesn't know?
Could it be that jade jewel?
It’s just that there’s really nothing special about that jade jewel!
…
After more than ten days of experimentation, Tao Xiaowu finally brewed liquor for the first time.
The cooled steam turned into liquid and flowed into the wooden barrel. Some of it flowed down like glue without causing any splash.
"It's done!" Tao Xiaowu smiled.
Although I don’t have an alcohol meter, I don’t know the exact alcohol content of the brewed liquor.
But as long as you see such a scene, you will know that this is definitely a high degree of alcohol.
Pour it into a wine glass and hang it!
This kind of wine, even before time travel in the previous life, would cost at least several hundred yuan per kilogram. And ordinary people have no channels and cannot buy it at all...
What most people buy is blended with alcohol and spices.
Several old people in Wuli smelled the aroma of wine, looked at the drinks, and their eyes on Tao Xiaowu changed dramatically.
“I didn’t expect that this wine was really brewed for him!”
Even Qiu Yuan, who had been watching with cold eyes, saw a big change in his eyes.
Tao Xiaowu's method of brewing wine can be said to be completely deviant to them.
After all, the brewing methods between fermented wine and distilled wine are really very different!
I didn't think much of Tao Xiaowu beforehand, but I didn't expect that he would actually brew this kind of wine.
At this moment, the aroma of wine overflows and attracts greedy insects.
Tao Xiaowu took a glass of wine and tasted it. It was soft in the mouth and not spicy at all. Then when the wine entered his throat, it turned into a line of fire, almost burning in his stomach.
He took a deep breath, and the aroma of wine came out.
In the blink of an eye, his face turned red, and he felt slightly drunk.
Based on experience, Tao Xiaowu estimated that this wine must be at least 60 or 70 degrees!
Well, this is normal. The alcohol released at the beginning has the highest alcohol content, and as it goes on, the alcohol content will become lower.
Generally, after it reaches 20 or 30 degrees, it will be pinched off and no longer used, which is called the tail of the wine.
Pinch off the head and tail, and watch the wine pick the flowers!
But it won't be wasted. The next time the fermented grain is put into the pot, the wine tail will be poured into the pot and distilled again.
Of course, this is just a detail!
"Get out of the way, let me have a taste!"
Old Qiu Yuan had already seen the joy of hunting, and when he smelled the aroma of wine, his Adam's apple could not help but move up and down.
At this moment, seeing Tao Xiaowu taste the wine, he couldn't wait to try it.
However, Qiu Yuan had never drunk such high-quality liquor before, so when he smelled the aroma of the wine, he drank a little too much in one sip.
I didn't notice it at first, but as soon as the wine entered my stomach, a wave of heat burst out between my chest and abdomen, as if a fire was burning.
This is the advantage of pure grain liquor. No matter how high the alcohol content is, it will not taste spicy in the mouth.
If it tastes spicy as soon as you eat it, it goes without saying that it must have been mixed with alcohol!
And Qiu Yuan made a loud sound, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and breathed out the smell of alcohol: "This is not wine...it's just like burning it, right? But it really tastes good!"
