Chapter 133 Flying Sky
"You don't understand this. The further north you go in this cold place, the more you like to drink strong liquor. The stronger the better. On a cold day, if you take a sip of strong liquor into your throat, the taste will be incredible." Sun Yu
I understand Juyao's thoughts very well. The weather in the south is warm and the demand for strong liquor is small, but it is different in the north. Moreover, the warmth of clothes is very poor these days. After drinking strong liquor, the whole person will feel much warmer in an instant.
"Mr. Lang knows so much." Ju Yao looked at Sun Yu with admiration. She had never been out of the Southern Tang Dynasty in her life, so naturally she didn't know what was going on in the north.
"Just take a good look at it, but you have to keep it secret. Once this thing is lost, it will have no effect. In addition, we have to order a batch of wine jars and burn the name of the wine directly on them. We want to go high-end.
The jar should be made more exquisitely." Sun Yu is going to take the high-end route, and he wants rare things, but he can't let the secret leak out.
After a while, Sun Sandao brought back five jars of wine. Sun Yu instructed him to open the jar, pour all the wine in, and then plug the mouth with a stopper. In this way, the steam could only flow from the thin tube.
The tube goes out, condenses and drips into another bucket.
Sun Yu lit all the charcoal fires. The temperature of the wine in the iron barrel gradually increased, and wisps of steam began to float out of the top thin tube. He quickly squatted down and turned down the air inlet of the charcoal fire to control the temperature. Because he had no experience, Sun Yu
Yu was in a hurry, the temperature was either too high or too low. Ju Yao and Sun Sandao could only watch, they didn't understand at all.
It was finally over. Sun Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned off the air inlet completely. The charcoal fire would automatically go out due to lack of oxygen after a while, and the remaining ones could be used next time.
"Lang Jun, it's done?" Ju Yao looked at Sun Yu's appearance, it was obvious that he had finished it, and she was full of expectations.
"It should be done, Sandao, go get some bowls and let's try it." Sun Yu didn't know what the effect was, but he would know after drinking it.
Sun Yu opened the water spout at the bottom and took a large bowl. Then the three of them shared a portion and tasted it. The bowl was estimated to be a little more than a kilogram, and each person had four taels of wine, which was almost enough.
"Sir, you are such a small thing, you are not enough for me to drink in one gulp." Sun Sandao looked at the small amount of wine in the bowl and couldn't help complaining. He could drink two large bowls of wine at a time, so that's okay.
Appetizing.
"Then drink it in one gulp, and I'll put it out for you after you finish it." Sun Yu looked at the clear liquor in the bowl and saw that it looked like top quality. He took a sip and found that the alcohol content was not high, probably in his early forties. Ju
Yao also followed Sun Yu's example and tasted it lightly. Sure enough, the strong wine was not spicy in the mouth, but there was a warmth rising in the stomach. It was really good to take a sip in this winter.
Sun Sandao picked up the big bowl and drank it all in one gulp. This little wine was nothing.
"Sir, good wine!" Sun Sandao felt a little regretful after drinking it. His stomach felt like fire, his face was red, and he started to sweat even in the cold weather, but he couldn't be timid and had to hold on.
"Another bowl?" Sun Yu said with a smile, and took another sip. It tasted good. After all, it was brewed from pure grains, which was better than those blended things in later generations.
"No, I'm a little dizzy. Let me take it easy." Sun Sandao sat down on the ground, not caring that the ground was cold. He was very hot now.
"Go away, shame on you
Show your eyes!" Sun Yu kicked him angrily. This guy is probably going to sleep soon, and there is no place for him to sleep in this business.
Sun Sandao quickly got up from the ground and staggered towards the military camp.
Naturally, Sun Yu took Ju Yao with him, and they went to the second floor to taste it. Ju Yao had just drank some wine, her face was rosy and she was extremely beautiful, but Sun Yu couldn't wait any longer.
In the afternoon, Sun Yu refined the wine twice more, and it was estimated that the temperature was 70 degrees. These were going to be sent to the medical camp for wound disinfection. Sun Yu took a batch of small porcelain bottles from the trading house and filled them one by one.
, this thing cannot be put in a big jar, otherwise the alcohol will escape and the concentration will not be enough.
In the medical camp, Qiao Niang was busy with her men. Sun Yu found Qiao Niang, told him how to use the alcohol, and left. Now Qiao Niang knew more about wound care than he did.
After not returning to the governor's office for several days, Sun Yu decided to go and have a look. Since he was no longer short of money, Xu Yi didn't look for him much anymore.
Sun Yu headed all the way to the Governor's Mansion. He bought some cakes on the way. He also had two small bottles of white wine in his hand, the kind with a temperature of about 40 degrees, and planned to drink two cups with Xu Yi later.
"Sir, what are you busy with?" As soon as Sun Yu entered the Yamen, he saw Xu Yi and two clerks working in a pile of paperwork.
"Sir, here you go, take a seat. This is not a batch of houses that will be delivered tomorrow. The deeds and land deeds must be prepared, otherwise the customers will cause trouble." This house is a big deal, and no one wants to get it early, so Xu Yi is particularly concerned.
Be careful and don't make any mistakes. The dignified Jianzhou Sima has become a real estate developer recently.
"How are the affairs of the counties recently? Have you reported them?" Sun Yu found a stool and sat down. He was not in the Yamen, and all the official documents of the counties were left to Xu Yi. He would definitely ask about it when he came.
"It's not a big deal. All counties are building water conservancy projects. They all come here to ask for money. I saw that a batch was allocated. You go and get the details and show them to your Excellency." Xu Yi told the clerk, "This account is
I still have to show it to Sun Yu, he is the governor after all.
Sun Yu did not refuse. He took the account from the clerk and looked through it carefully. He could delegate power, but he must not ignore it, as that would easily lead to corruption. The financial situation of Jianzhou was better than he thought. The biggest
The expenditure is on the new soldiers, and there is currently 260,000 taels of silver left over. Several workshops have begun to produce output one after another, which is a good start.
"Sir, would you like a drink?" Sun Yu shook the porcelain bottle in his hand towards Xu Yi.
"I don't have time. I'll drink after I finish my work." Xu Yi glanced at Sun Yu angrily, but he didn't realize that he was busy and didn't choose a good time to drink.
Sun Yu opened the pastry, put it on the table, grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth. It was a little worse than Jiangning's pastry, but it was still delicious. Sun Yu opened the cork on the wine bottle and didn't use a wine glass.
He poured a mouthful into his mouth. Sun Yu felt that Xu Yi was too tired. He could just leave the writing and drawing matters to the clerks and check them later. He would do everything by himself and sooner or later he would follow in the footsteps of Zhuge Wuhou.
"Sir, what kind of wine is this?" Just as Sun Yu closed his eyes and tasted it, Xu Yi walked to the side and stretched his neck.
I smelled it at the mouth of the bottle. It had such a strong smell of wine, not like ordinary wine.
"Feitian!" This is the name given by Sun Yu just now. Moutai doesn't know where it is at this moment, let alone the Feitian series, so I borrowed it for use.
"What's the allusion?" Xu Yi sat down directly opposite Sun Yu. If he couldn't finish this job, he would have to work overtime at night. But he saw that these two small bottles would be gone when Sun Yu finished drinking.
"I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid that it will be too cold at high places. After drinking this wine, I will have this feeling, so I named it Feitian." To say that the most famous person for this kind of drinking is Li, the great poet of the former dynasty.
Taibai has countless admirers so far, and this can be considered a different kind of hot spot.
"Sir, why don't you go and do your work first? I can drink alone." Sun Yu saw Xu Yi actually pick up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth. He stared at the other unopened bottle of wine next to him and endured it.
He couldn't help but joke.
"Well, you two take the things back to your room to get them done. I'll check them later." Xu Yi felt that the adults were not giving him face, so he had to send the two minor officials away first. After hearing this, the minor official quickly packed up and went back to his room.
Go get it, two big guys are sitting here, there is too much pressure.
"Sir, go get the wine glass first. This wine looks very good. It would be too much of a waste to drink it without looking at it." Sun Yu couldn't help but said, this wine is unique at this time, whether it is rice wine or rice wine, it is a waste.
It's so turbid. When has there ever been such a clear wine?
The wine bug in Xu Yi's stomach had long been aroused, and he quickly ran to the back to look for the wine glass, not having any trouble with his legs or feet.
Xu Yi took the wine glass and looked at it carefully. As Sun Yu said, it looked very good. The wine was as clear as water, and when you smell it, the aroma is strong, and it is worthy of the word "flying to the sky".
"Sir, please!" Sun Yu picked up the wine glass.
"Good wine!" Xu Yiman drank a glass, and immediately felt the warmth rising and the coldness dissipating without a trace, so he quickly poured another glass.
"Sir, this wine is too strong. Drinking it in a hurry will hurt your health. Drink it slowly." Sun Yu picked up a piece of snack and handed it to Xu Yi.
"Sir, where did this thing come from? It is much better than the royal wine in the palace." He Xu Yi had also been proud of the spring breeze, but he had never drunk such wine, and had never even heard of it.
"I made it myself. Jianzhou Trading Company will open a new brewing workshop later, which will be an additional business in the future." Sun Yu estimated that the brewing workshop should be completed in more than half a month.
.
"What a loss." Xu Yi had a heartbroken expression on his face.
"What's the loss?" Sun Yu looked stunned, what was Xu Yi doing?
"The land was sold at a loss. If I had known that I could make such good wine, I would definitely not have sold it cheaply." The Jianzhou Trading Company found him a while ago and said that he wanted to buy a piece of land and prepare to set up a workshop. Xu Yi picked a piece of vacant land for Cheap.
I sold it, but I didn't expect it to be such a profitable business.
"That's my property, why don't you want to blackmail me?" Sun Yu said angrily, showing no moral integrity at all.
"This government office is also your property. It's a matter of left hand and right hand." Anyway, in Xu Yi's eyes, there is no imperial court. He only obeys Sun Yu's orders. Although he has the title of Sima, he always regards himself as a subordinate.
