Dukang was a fruit juice wine that was directly fermented.
The taste itself was not enough. Even if it was purified to 50 degrees, it still did not have much taste.
It was just more intoxicating.
Dukang wine was actually fermented directly and then steamed back and forth.
It wasn't distilled, but fermented by steaming. These were two different things.
The taste of Du Kang wine…
"You'll know once you drink it."”
Li Er picked up a bamboo spoon and lifted it.""Gulp…"
Fang Yang looked at him sympathetically.
Li Er's neck and face instantly turned red.
He almost coughed, but Li Er had been holding it in.
Cheng Wu was stunned.”
Li Er took a deep breath and said,""Good wine! Cheng Wu, drink up!"
Cheng Wu raised his bamboo spoon." Of course, I'll drink it in big gulps. Who licks wine? I'm not a woman."”
"Gulp…"
" Cough, cough, cough…"”
Li Er laughed out loud." Good wine indeed, but it's too strong."”
Fang Yang picked up the bamboo spoon and took a sip before nodding.""It's alright."
"It's alright?" Li Er was surprised. I've never seen anything as rich as this wine in my entire life.”
"Just alright?"
Wine was not only dependent on the alcohol content, but also the fragrance.
"The fermentation time is too short, so the taste is a little bad."”
"Secondly, it needs to be cellared for half a year before the taste is at its most mellow.”
Li Er was shocked.
Such an impressive wine actually had two major flaws.
How powerful would it be if he perfected the two major flaws?
Even immortals would get drunk!
For someone who was used to drinking beer, drinking two glasses of white wine for the first time wasn't an exaggeration.
Those who drank ordinary Tang wine could only drink a barrel of it, which was equivalent to two taels of white wine.
Of course, there were people who were naturally not drunk.
Cheng Wu came back to his senses." It's so terrifying, but the taste is really too strong. It's sweet and doesn't burn my throat. When it enters my stomach, there's a warm current flowing. It's really good wine."”
The fragrance of distilled liquor was far from what primitive liquor could compare to.
"Hehe."
Only then did Li Er remember what they had talked about before."Let's split it 50 - 50. I'll pay 3,000 strings to build the winery, and 3,000 strings will be your investment.”
Cheng Wu hurried forward." Brother Li Er, you're in trouble. How can I see you eating alone?"”
Li Er gritted his teeth.”
"Of course!"
Which man in Chang 'an, or even the entire Tang Empire, did not drink?
Who didn't drink during normal times, let alone during times of war when there was a shortage of food?
How big was the profit?
The ocean.
Li Er gritted his teeth." I'll give you ten percent. Help me pay two thousand strings."”
"Deal!"
Fang Yang chuckled." I'll explain the method to you in detail later. When the time comes, separate the fermented yeast from the winery."”
"Yes, yes, yes." Cheng Wu said," As long as the method of fermenting the yeast is controlled, it doesn't matter if the method of brewing wine is spread.”
Fang Yang had said that the reason why the wine was not steamed well this time was because the fermentation had not been long enough. Without the fermentation, it was likely that the wine would not be steamed at all.
Wine yeast was crucial.
Li Er: " It just so happens that I'm short on money recently. With this deal, I can relax a little.”
Li Congming and Cheng Dali stood together.
"Dali, do you think I was sold by my father to earn money?”
"Why do you say that?"
"My dad kept me here as a hostage so that the teacher wouldn't think that he would find a way to escape."”
"That makes sense."
"We were sold just like that?"
Fang Yang and the other two chatted happily about how much money they would get.
Li Er directly asked Pei Xingjian to send someone to retrieve the money.
Fang Yang: " I have many ways to earn money here, but I lack capital. Li Er, although you're a little stupid, you have a good character. You're suitable for cooperation."”
Li Er was speechless.
Cheng Wu ordered someone to go to Happy Red Courtyard to get some meat.
"Come, let's talk while we eat.”
"Let's not make too much wine and sell it at a higher price. It's not a good thing to make too much wine because we use too much grain.”
Fang Yang: " The lees left over from brewing wine can be used to raise pigs. It's very fattening.”
In the future, wineries would definitely lose money if they did not raise pigs.
Li Er slammed the table.”
The three of them discussed.
He was selling ten catties of wine for fifty strings of coins, ten times the price of Dukang wine.
The wine that had been fermented for half a year was sold at a price of one catty per catty. Each catty was sold for ten strings of coins, which was twenty times the price of Dukang wine.
It was a huge profit.
Li Congming and Cheng Dali were speechless.
As they talked, Li Er changed the topic."Little Fang, have you heard?"
"Heard what?" Fang Yang was confused.”
"Didn't Tuyuhun's people come to Chang 'an some time ago?" Li Ershen asked mysteriously.”
"You mean the envoy caravan?"
Li Er: " When they returned, they didn't buy enough grain and fodder, so they were targeted by the imperial court.”
"The Imperial Court sent Hou Junji and Li Jing to Taozhou and Hezhou to oversee the battle.”
"When Tuyuhun's men came to loot, Hou Junji led the Taozhou Army to wipe them out. More than a hundred were captured and more than eight hundred beheaded.”
Fang Yang: " You see, I said that the imperial court must have known about Tuyuhun's thoughts and had already sent people to keep an eye on him.”
"The ministers in the court are not idiots. What's the use of discussing the war in the court?”
"But your news is fast enough. You already know the news?”
