The general's wife is sick

Chapter 128 The Highly Profitable Brewing Industry

Before sending it to the palace, he ordered people to remake the exquisite porcelain jars with complicated craftsmanship, carefully filled the lip balm into it, and then put the exquisitely packaged lip balm into a flannel box. After packaging in this way, these unremarkable The price of lip balm has risen several steps from the naked eye.

Although his title is hereditary, he is very good at pleasing the superior, especially the emperor did not severely punish Wang Xinru and allow him to take him back to the mansion for recuperation. This kindness of the emperor is firmly in mind.

Yan Yong got the final grade of Jinshi in this scientific examination, and was sent to Ganzhou as a county magistrate with great grace. Although he was far away from the capital, he was a guilty minister to his grandfather and a person who committed a heinous mistake to his mother. In other words, this kind of treatment as an expatriate official needs to be worshiped and grateful with a heart-wrenching attitude.

The emperor got all these things and gave them to the harem, and each palace divided some, and the two monarchs also kept some.

Yan Shinuo didn't release the rest of the mouth in the capital all at once. He was well versed in the routines of entertainment venues, and his path was similar to that of Xianyi Pavilion.But he is very different from the original Xianyi Pavilion. He is an earl with a high status, and he also has the business of flower ointment and health-preserving and slimming tea. As long as he spreads the word, even if he does nothing, there will be people rushing to find him. He bought lip balm at a high price.

These lip balms are different from the usual lip balms sold in Beijing. Although the previous lip balms can deepen the lip color when applied on the lips, the lips are dry and dry after application, and the lip lines are fully visible.

These are not the case. After application, it can make the user's lips look moist and nourished, with a three-dimensional plump feeling, and the fleshy look is very attractive.

It is not surprising that such high-quality lip balm can cause waves in the capital. What surprised Princess Guangyang was that no matter what she got from Ji Liu, it could cause a stir in the capital in a short period of time.

Due to the theme of "summer lotus pond style", the popularity of Xianyi Pavilion has risen again after donating clothes to Zhuangyuan Lang, and the silver bills of white flowers are sent to the mansion once every half month.

Seeing Princess Guangyang's happy appearance, Mother Xin was still worried, and reminded Chen Guan to pay more attention to Ji Liu's actions in her letter.Although Chen Guan was helpless, Nanny Xin was his grandmother, so she could only coax the old man to relax, while praying that Xiong Jinghai would work harder so that the young lady could conceive a child as soon as possible.

At this moment, Chen Guan suddenly felt regretful. He even thought that if Xiong Jinghai and Ji Liu met for the first time in the northwest, they probably wouldn't need to worry about so many things.

Thinking about Ji Liu being with the army now, the husband and wife face each other all day long, this kind of life is really enviable, if he also has this kind of honor, it would be great, presumably the children can also run around.

Following Xiong Jinghai, the husband and wife got together less and separated more, and there was no progress in the matter of their children.

In the future, when the people in Chizhou and Yuzhou are as rich as Zhucheng, he will definitely apply for his family members to join the army!

After this harassment, Yingkou Town fell into silence again, and the rogues in the grassland did not come back for some unknown reason.

Xiong Jinghai kept sending people into the grassland. What he wanted was a topographic map of the grassland. Of course, the larger the terrain map, the better.

At the end of summer, glutinous rice wine has been fermented in the new winery.

Ji Liu prepared a condensing device for distilling wine. Due to the limitation of tools, there is no glass, no long pipe, and no thermometer, but the distiller and brewing diagram of wine have been recorded as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty. He remembers the ancient simple distillation and condensing device I read a few illustrations in extracurricular books when I was in school, and I probably remember one or two.

In addition to the cosmetics, jewelry, clothing, etc. for women and children, and the high-profit industry such as alcohol, he can only succeed and not fail, because this will be an important source of military expenditure for the Northwest Army in the next few years.

If you want to strengthen the army, you can only rely on the emperor who is restrained everywhere. I am afraid that you will have to wait for several years. If you want to become stronger, you have to rely on yourself.

With this thought that he must succeed, Ji Liu was under great pressure. Over the past few days, with his thoughts on his mind, he couldn't sleep well every night.

It's finally the day of steaming wine!

Taking a deep breath, Ji Liu led Zhu Changyuan, ingredients and experienced master Jiang to conduct experiments again and again in the winery. Under the condensing device, the cooled wine dripped into the earthen pot.

All the wine is boiled in batches, distilled, condensed, the head of the wine with low boiling point is removed, and the center of the wine is put into the wine tank.

The head and the tail of the wine are not needed, but the head and the tail must be trimmed to make wine, so that there will be no formaldehyde, so that it can be guaranteed that the head will not get wet after drinking, so it can be called a good wine.

The final tail wine is connected with the head of the low-boiling wine, and it is poured into the second pot for re-steaming, and the cycle repeats.

The new glutinous rice wine is not soft in the mouth, but has a strong impact. When I tasted it for the first time, I choked Ji Liu to the ground.

These distilled baijiu filled all the pot-bellied wine tanks. These wines are like adolescent children, very rebellious, and they can be tasted casually from the mouth; road spicy into the stomach.

But it was this kind of wine with a violent taste and full of sparkling flavor that made Master Jiang, who had been in the wine making industry for decades, look extremely surprised.

"I've been brewing wine for decades, this is the first time I've tasted such a mouth-watering wine. This wine is good, this wine is good!" After finishing speaking, Master Jiang raised his head and drank the spoonful of wine in his hand, "Wine The liquid is pure, and the sweetness will be obvious after the entrance, although it is not soft, but it is like this for new wine, after a period of time, it will definitely taste better than the current taste!"

Ji Liu heaved a sigh of relief, because he didn't understand, he was more worried about the success or failure of this wine than anyone else, but now it looks like it was a success! "Everyone says old wine! This new wine tastes too strong. If you want a good wine, you have to rely on time. It takes precipitation and aging to make the wine have more connotations."

"Young madam was too self-effacing before. You are a rare talent in brewing wine. I am ashamed of myself, but the wine you have brewed for many years is less than one-tenth of that of young madam." Jiang He put down the wine spoon in his hand, and bowed to Ji Liu.

"Master Jiang, you really upset me, how could Ji Liu accept this gift from you!" Ji Liu hurriedly returned the gift.

Composition was full of pride, he raised his eyebrows at Zhu Changyuan, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. During the distillation process, the wine needs to be boiled, and any condensing device is used to collect the wine, so the temperature of the winery is always high. "Before, relying on my seniority and good experience, I didn't let the young master enter the winery. Hmph, I'm not obedient now!"

Zhu Changyuan reached out and rubbed the top of his head, "If you speak louder, Master Jiang will jump into the wine tank."

Jiang He obviously heard what Cheng said, and the old man blushed, "This old man really has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai."

"You're welcome." Ji Liu didn't care about him. After all, he can't stay in the winery all year round. Master Jiang will be the pillar of the winery in the future, so he needs to save some face. "Please also ask Master Jiang to share the wine. Save it every month, for three months, half a year, and one year respectively. From now on, each batch of wine will be stored according to this time, and I will send someone to bring you wine utensils."

"Listen to the young lady's orders."

Due to technical limitations, although Master Jiang's craftsmanship is good, the finished wine has a single aroma and lacks the mellow aroma of modern wines.

This is also impossible. Based on the current situation, although the taste of the wine is not ideal, Ji Liu is already very satisfied to get such a wine.

Coming out of the winery, I took the carriage back and suddenly, a high-pitched and rapid horn sounded. Ji Liu opened his eyes suddenly in the carriage, and he had already lifted the curtain to look out, "Master, it's the horn sound from Yingkou." , there is an enemy attack!"

"Go back, hurry up!"

With an order, the groom raised his whip and drove the two black horses to gallop towards Yingkou Town. A cloud of smoke and dust rose from behind the carriage.

On the city wall, the corner of Xiong Jinghai's clothes floated up, looking down, there was a billow of smoke and dust in the grassland in the distance, it was the dust splashed by horseshoes, and a black shadow gradually approached Yingkou.

Ma Menxi, Xie Kun, and Bai Yiming stood beside Xiong Jinghai, only to hear a steady voice of orders ringing in their ears, "Get ready, Liannu battalion is in place!"

Xie Kun suddenly let out an "Aww", "Fuck NND, you bastards, I've been waiting for you!"

Three soldiers holding red flags boarded the city wall and stood on the high wall. When the three men were in their positions, the horn sounded again.

It was a signal, a signal to attack.

After the horn sounded, the three soldiers moved in unison, waving the red flag in their hands. This is a special semaphore, which conveys orders that only the Northwest soldiers can understand. Falling leaves of grass.

When the semaphore soldiers were waving the flags, soldiers holding repeated crossbows appeared behind the bunkers with regular bumps on the city wall. They were uniform and quickly took their positions. On the grass not far from the door, there were three iron arrows on each crossbow, and the light was cold.

As the enemy got closer and closer, the Banner Soldiers raised the small flag on the right side at the same time, slowly raised the left hand from the armpit, and when the left and right hands rose to the same height, the two flags fell at the same time.

Dozens of people suddenly emerged from the flat grass on both sides not far from Yingkou Town. They held long ropes in their hands and exerted force at the same time, breaking the thick hemp rope in their hands at about the height of a horse's leg from the ground. a straight line.

At this time, the enemy's cavalry arrived first, facing the ropes that suddenly came out of the ground, the horses under them were unable to dodge. Falling from the horse with great inertia.

The cavalry in the front failed, but the momentum in the rear continued unabated, and the cavalry at the horse rope fell down and stopped.For a moment, exclamations, shouts, and cursing were mixed together, and the enemy cavalry tangled into a mess in place.

The cavalry was defeated, and the miscellaneous fish and rotten shrimps following behind were also puzzled. In their eyes, how did these bravest horses on the grassland disappear without a trace.

After running close, they realized that the cavalry they had always been proud of had lost their previous aura during this attack, and even fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, looking very embarrassed.

On the city wall, everyone saw these prairie bandits who often came to harass them lying all over the ground, and felt a burst of joy in their hearts.

Should!

Live it!
