Dear Lingshi

Who would eat spirit stones as candy beans?

"Let me check you out."

"I do not!"

Xuan'er used his jacket to pocket the spirit stones in the box and ran directly to the attic.

Seeing this, Lu Yunsheng shook his head helplessly. He continued to fold the prepared paper and put it into the small box left by Xuan'er.

Just as everything was ready, guests arrived.

Lu Yunsheng called Xuan'er down from the attic upstairs and started to get busy.

"Shopkeeper Lu, if I play games with this girl, can I still participate in the lottery?"

one guest asked.

"Of course, as long as everyone has fun." Lu Yunsheng said without hesitation.

"Shopkeeper Lu is generous."

As time went by, by noon, more and more customers came into the store and long queues formed outside the store.

Lu Yunsheng was busy maintaining order and introducing goods to customers.

Fortunately, Uncle Hu also came back at this time. Seeing the sudden increase in customers in the store, Uncle Hu was also confused. He couldn't figure out how Lu Yunsheng knew in advance that so many people would come today.

Seeing Uncle Hu coming back, Lu Yunsheng hurried to greet him.

"Uncle Hu, you take care of the store first. I have something else to do, so I'll be out for a while."

"What are you doing in such a hurry, kid?"

Uncle Hu looked at Lu Yunsheng who had already run far away and smiled helplessly.

Lu Yunsheng left Duobao Pavilion and headed north. After leaving Tieshan City, he continued walking north for dozens of miles. As a cultivator in the Qi training stage, walking this distance was no problem for him. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the Songjia Town.

This place is a small town where mortals live. Since there is Tieshan City in the south that keeps all the monsters out, the north is relatively safe.

More and more people gathered. Songjia Town sells everything. Uncle Hu bought Xuan'er a coat here.

Lu Yunsheng came here mainly to buy something called a "zeng", which is a key item needed to make his own wine.

At Duobao Pavilion, Lu Yunsheng suddenly remembered that his spiritual grain had been fermenting for a month and could be made into wine tonight, so he had to buy the utensils he needed in advance.

The "zeng" is actually in the shape of a wooden barrel, but it is transparent at both ends and has no lid or bottom.

In the world of cultivation, when the spiritual grains and distiller's yeast have finished fermenting together, the wine can be filtered out and sold.

Since Lu Yunsheng planned to brew wine according to the method on Earth, he needed to add another step, which was distillation.

The distillation step must use a "甑".

But when Lu Yunsheng walked around Songjia Town several times, he still couldn't find what he wanted.

When Lu Yunsheng was disappointed, he suddenly realized that perhaps no one in this world would use the "distillation" technology to make wine.

There was no other way, so Lu Yunsheng had to give up. After buying two large iron pots, he planned to go back to Tieshan City to get some wood to make a "steamer" himself.

When Lu Yunsheng was on Earth, he was born in the countryside and knew the "Zeng" very well.

When he was a child, almost every household in the countryside knew how to brew and roast wine, and the principles behind it were already well known.

It is very simple to make a '甑' by yourself.

Since the Qiankun bag was still with Uncle Hu, Lu Yunsheng had to carry two large iron pots on his back and walk towards Tieshan City. These iron pots were also indispensable utensils. And two were required.

These two iron pots weigh hundreds of pounds. If it weren't for the true energy in his body supporting him, Lu Yunsheng might not be able to walk dozens of miles back to Tieshan City.

An hour had passed when he returned to Duobao Pavilion. On the way back, Lu Yunsheng collected a large bundle of wood for making "Zeng" along the way.

After entering Duobao Pavilion, Lu Yunsheng ignored the strange looks from the customers in the store, carrying two large iron pots on his back and a bundle of logs hanging on his chest, and walked straight to the backyard.

At this time, Lu Yunsheng was standing in the cellar and could smell the mellow aroma of wine wafting out from the ten large vats, filling the entire cellar.

Without further delay, Lu Yunsheng put all the items on his body on the ground and started making the "Zeng".

This thing is very simple to make, but there is one requirement, which is that it must be tightly fitted. Otherwise, during distillation, all the essence of the wine will slip away from the gaps.

Fortunately, with the natal flying sword as a tool, these logs were cut into planks of uniform size with almost no effort.

The next step is to surround the wooden boards to form a cylinder, and then tie it tightly with cloth strips or bamboo threads.

This is also the most critical step, which requires the wooden boards to fit together perfectly.

However, with the flying sword, the wooden boards were cut flat and smooth, and Lu Yunsheng put them together tightly.

This is not the end yet. A small hole needs to be opened on the "甑" as a place for the wine to flow out. When distilling the wine, a spoon-like object will be placed in this small hole to drain the distilled wine.

The next step was to build a stove. Lu Yunsheng thought about building the stove in the backyard, but he was afraid that his secret of brewing wine would be discovered, so he had to build the stove in the cellar. The worst that could happen was that he would have to inhale more thick smoke.

After building the stove, Lu Yunsheng put one of the pots on it. All the sizes fit perfectly. The pot placed on the stove is also called a ground pot.

Then, stand the prepared steamer upright and place it on the ground pot. There is also another pot whose bottom needs to be cleaned and used as the sky pot.

That day, the pot is placed on the steamer with its bottom facing downwards. When the fire in the stove starts burning, the wine inside the steamer evaporates into gas and rises.

The curved bottom of the pot allows the wine that evaporates into gas to condense to a point, and then drip into the spoon-like object below. After being drained by the spoon, the finished wine is born.

In order to accelerate the condensation of gas and wine, cold water can also be placed in the top pot.

This is roughly the process.

When everything was ready, Lu Yunsheng started brewing wine for the first time.

Pour the fermented wine mixed with the spiritual grain in the large vat into the ground pot, and start cooking over a fire.

Then Lu Yunsheng put the steamer and the sky pot on.

The sky pot is also filled with cold water, which can speed up the speed and amount of wine produced.

Generally, 1000 kilograms of grain can produce 500 to 600 kilograms of wine.

Lu Yunsheng originally bought 2000 kilograms of spiritual grain, which could produce about 1000 to 1200 kilograms of spiritual wine.

As time passed, steam rose from the steamer. After a while, steaming hot wine began to flow out of the reserved wine outlet, and the rich aroma of the wine wafted into the air.

The wine at this point is called "wine head" and is slightly turbid due to the impurities. It cannot be drunk and needs to be discarded.

After a while, the flowing wine became clear, and Lu Yunsheng placed the jar that had been prepared long ago under the wine outlet and began to collect the wine.
