In the next few days, Zhang Xu began to purchase a large amount of wall salt.
He specially set up a shop in the city to buy wall salt.
The price of one tael of silver per pound was enough to drive the people of Shuofang City crazy.
Anyway, it's winter in Shuobei, and most people don't have much to do, so they go around scraping walls all day long.
Places such as latrines and livestock sheds that are prone to saltpeter precipitation have become golden mountains in the eyes of many people.
I heard from Zhang Xu that some people even went to the authorities secretly to scrape the walls of other people's livestock sheds.
However, wall salt does not weigh on the scale.
Even though it looks like a small half bucket, if you press it firmly, it can actually cover the bottom of the bucket.
Yun Zheng's worry about not being able to spend money has become a reality.
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and did not feel disappointed.
As much as you can get!
Once you have stabilized the situation, you can look for saltpeter ore and sulfur ore.
Only when you find saltpeter ore and sulfur ore can you think of getting some thermal weapons like fire guns.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Just when Yunzheng was thinking wildly, Zhang Xu's voice sounded in Yunzheng's ears.
"ah?"
Yun Zheng came back to his senses, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Xu looked at him dumbfounded and joked: "You won't be drunk by the aroma of this wine, will you?"
"Don't tell me, I'm really a little dizzy." Yunzheng laughed and asked, "Is it time to drink?"
"It should be... coming out soon, right?"
Zhang Xu answered somewhat uncertainly, sniffing hard again, greedily sniffing the aroma of wine in the air.
"Drinking, really drinking!"
At this moment, a burst of excited cheers came from the workshop.
The two of them were overjoyed at the same time and ran inside quickly.
Looking at the clear wine flowing out of the bamboo tube, Zhang Xu's eyes widened.
A group of older Tian soldiers also gathered around, and everyone's throats were swelling.
“It smells so good!”
“It’s not a waste of time to have a sip of such fine wine!”
"What a drink!"
"The old man has lived for most of his life and has never seen such good wine..."
Everyone greedily sniffed the aroma of the wine and kept praising it.
There was no distillation technology before the Qian Dynasty.
In the past, most drinks were turbid.
Even the jade liquid and nectar in the palace is not so clear.
"Your Highness, hurry up and try it!"
Zhang Xu took the bamboo ladle and handed it to Yunzheng, his throat couldn't help but surge.
Although he wanted to try it right away, Yun Zheng taught him the technique of steaming wine.
Naturally, Yun Zheng wanted to taste this first sip of wine.
"Taste you, uncle! You want my life!"
Yun Zheng laughed and scolded Zhang Xu, "This is a wine tip, don't drink it! Otherwise, you will get a headache!"
"Huh? Can't drink?"
Zhang Xu was stunned and asked impatiently: "When can I drink it?"
"Let's wait and see!"
Yun Zheng smiled and saw that Zhang Xu was like everyone else, "Don't worry, you will have to drink! However, I have said something ugly in front of you. Whoever dares to get drunk, I will transfer him somewhere else!"
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, everyone nodded.
Winemaking is an absolute delight.
Not only is it warm, but you can also drink such delicious wine.
If they were transferred to do other things, they would regret it to death.
After letting the wine flow for a while, Yun Zheng asked someone to move a large vat to collect the wine.
Yun Zheng scooped up a sip of wine and drank it, feeling a burst of heat in his stomach.
Well, it must be over fifty degrees!
Even though it has not been aged, it is still very spicy in the throat.
It wasn't until Yunzheng took his first sip of wine that everyone started trying it one after another.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, there was a violent coughing sound around Yunzheng.
Most of the wines in Daqian Dynasty are more than 10 degrees of alcohol. If there is 30 degrees of alcohol, it is considered a strong drink!
It was the first time that everyone drank such a high degree of wine, and they all started coughing.
However, even if everyone was embarrassed, it did not affect everyone's praise of the wine.
"Good wine, this is the real good wine!"
"It's worth it, old man, this life is worth it..."
"Strong enough! Enough!"
"My stomach is burning right now!"
"This wine is most suitable for drinking in Shuobei. When the weather is cold, take a sip like this and your whole body will be warm..."
Everyone praised Yun Zheng and looked at him with admiration.
If it weren't for Yunzheng, they wouldn't have known that wine could be brewed like this!
Zhang Xu coughed for a while, and finally regained his composure, and quickly ordered everyone, "Stop fucking around, get to work quickly, we'll have to drink some wine later!"
With that said, Zhang Xu pulled Yun Zheng outside again.
"Your Highness, how much do you think this wine should be sold for?"
Zhang Xu looked at Yunzheng with excitement.
He can already imagine the scene of selling this wine!
This kind of strong liquor is a life-saving elixir in a cold place like Shuobei!
It's freezing cold, but taking a sip of this strong drink will warm your whole body!
"You decide the price!"
Yun Zheng laughed, "However, we are only allowed to sell half of this wine! The remaining half will be steamed several times before being stored. I will have great use for it in the future! In addition, the head of the wine is kept alone, which may be useful in the future!"
He needs to stock up on alcohol.
In the future, only the disability rate can be reduced as much as possible.
Money is definitely a good thing, but human life is more important!
"good!"
Zhang Xu agreed, then winked and said, "Won't Your Highness give this wine a name?"
Yunzheng thought for a moment and replied: "Just call Mr. Zhang drunk!"
Zhang Gong is drunk?
Zhang Xu instantly understood what Yun Zheng meant, and quickly shook his head and said: "No, no! This is all the credit of His Highness, how can I, Zhang Xu, be greedy for credit? If you ask me, it's called Zheng wine. It's what a strong and strong man drinks. liquor!"
"Zhengjiu? I still have fake wine!"
Yun Zheng looked at Zhang Xu with a dumbfounded look, "Okay, that's it, just let Mr. Zhang get drunk!"
"this……"
Zhang Xu choked slightly and wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng said seriously: "Some things are suitable for you but not for me. Do I understand?"
I fought in Shuobei!
What does it sound like to let people know that you are here to make wine?
Zhang Xu thought for a moment and understood what Yun Zheng meant, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the name!"
"Do you want this?"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at him, "Let's stop being so polite!"
"I want it, I want it!"
Zhang Xu's eyes were slightly red, and he said excitedly: "Even if I, Zhang Xu, accomplish nothing in my life, just because of Zhang Gongzui, I can be famous forever! How can Zhang Xu not thank His Highness for such a great favor?"
Damn it?
Is there any other way to say this?
Zhang Xu is still a good young man with ideals!
yes!
Celebrities through the ages!
For people in ancient times, this might be a great honor!
Some people spend their whole lives pursuing, isn't it just to be famous throughout the ages?
"Okay, don't make it so sensational."
Yun Zheng patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder, "I'll put a few jars of wine back later and let the people in the house taste it too!"
"well!"
Zhang Xu nodded repeatedly.
To Yunzheng, a wine's name may not mean anything.
But for him, this is a great honor!
In future generations, who will get drunk like this and not think of themselves?
