"I'll try it!"
"Give me a bite too...!"
Seeing the two brothers giving such high praise to the beer, the other master brewers couldn't bear it any longer. They picked up their wine bowls and each took a sip.
Needless to say, just by looking at the expressions of enjoyment on each of their faces, you can tell that this wine is done!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has a fantastic idea. We will never be able to figure out this brewing method even if we die!"
"Yes! We use malt to make wine and add Chinese herbal medicine. After fermentation, it tastes like this!"
"I dare not think, I dare not think, that there is such a brewing method in the world...!"
Several brewing masters shook their heads mockingly.
The highly distilled liquor before had already amazed them again and again.
Unexpectedly, the beer this time was even more amazing!
Although this wine is not strong, it has a unique feeling that is refreshing!
"Give me another taste!"
"Yes, yes, pour us some more. I swallowed it too fast just now, and I didn't have time to taste it carefully!"
It was the first time for several master craftsmen to taste such a fine wine. They were very fascinated and clamored for Li Yutang to serve them some more.
"Quickly pull it down. This time we only brewed a small jar. I will have to take it into the palace later and return to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Li Yutang took the wine barrel and put the stopper back in his arms.
At first, they didn't believe His Highness the Crown Prince, saying they were afraid of wasting food, so they only allowed a small amount to be made.
Now they come here to beg for a drink again. After drinking all the wine, they are unable to do business. The prince is not blaming them!
"That's right! My brother and I will return to the palace later. You guys stay in the wine shop and keep an eye on it to make sure nothing goes wrong!"
His younger brother Li Yuze spoke out to warn him.
"Oh...! Okay!"
Several master craftsmen responded angrily.
If they had known this, they should have encouraged more brewing, and they would have had enough by now!
"Okay! Let's go to work. This beer has been brewed successfully. Are you still worried about running out of wine?"
Li Yutang smiled and waved.
"okay!"
The craftsmen nodded and returned to their respective positions.
Li Yutang, on the other hand, was holding a wine barrel, and got on the carriage one after another with his younger brother, heading to the palace!
"Brother! There are no outsiders here. Can we two try some more?"
The carriage was speeding, and his younger brother Li Yuze raised his eyebrows at his elder brother, and slowly stretched his hand towards the wine barrel.
But he was knocked down mercilessly by his brother, "Go! Go aside! If you want to drink it, wait until it is mass-produced, but you can't do it now!"
The wine barrel in his arms is not big, it can only hold about ten kilograms. They drank two bowls just now, and there is even less left.
If he drank again now and only had half a barrel left when he arrived at the palace, how should he explain it?
You said you only brewed half a barrel this time? Who believes it?
"Just a little!"
Li Yuze pinched his fingers and begged his brother.
"Not even a drop!"
Li Yutang's attitude was very firm and there was no room for maneuver.
"Oh well!"
In desperation, Li Yuze could only lick his lips and swallow dryly.
In fact, the beer cannot be said to be very strong, but somehow, there is always a hint of beer aroma remaining in your mouth, tempting you to take another sip!
"Xu..."
The carriage stopped at the palace gate. After the announcement, the two brothers were taken by the chamberlain to the Guanghua Palace.
After Ying Feiyu heard that the beer was brewed, he also became energetic and quickly ran to the main hall to wait for the two of them.
In just a moment, the two of them were brought in by the chamberlain.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The two of them first bowed respectfully, and then said in surprise: "Your Highness, the beer you ordered has been brewed!"
"Oh? So fast?"
This was unexpected by Ying Feiyu.
Beer has never appeared in Daqin, so the two of them thought they would have to take craftsmen to study it several times before they could succeed!
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!
"Everything is made strictly according to the method given by the prince, and there is no chance of any omission...!"
As Li Yutang spoke, he handed the barrel to Mingde, "But none of us have made this beer before, and we don't know if it tastes right. I would like to invite the prince to taste it!"
"okay!"
Ying Feiyu nodded and ordered Mingde to put the wine barrel on the table.
"Go get a cup for my prince!"
Ying Feiyu couldn't wait any longer.
I haven’t tasted beer for a long time, and I feel very itchy!
But then he seemed to think of something, and quickly called Mingde, "Change to a bowl, bring me a bowl for the prince!"
The wine glass is small and not enough to drink, but it's almost enough if you change it to a bowl.
"yes!"
Mingde responded and hurried to do it.
Taking advantage of this time, Ying Feiyu opened the stopper of the wine barrel.
Smell the familiar smell and reveal a bright smile!
"Yeah! Judging from the taste and color, there's nothing wrong with it!"
But the most important thing about beer is its taste. Only when it tastes good can it be considered successful.
"Your Highness, the bowl is here!"
Mingde trotted all the way and took a blue and white porcelain bowl over in a moment.
"Wow..."
The light yellow liquid was slowly poured out, making the sound of countless bubbles rising at the same time.
Ying Feiyu picked up the wine bowl, took a big sip, and tasted it carefully, "Well, it's not bad!"
The two brothers were very excited after receiving the affirmation.
"But...the bubbles are still missing!"
In later generations, in addition to producing a large amount of carbon dioxide during the fermentation process, beer was also filled with a certain amount of carbon dioxide during bottling, so it had that refreshing feeling when it was consumed.
In this era, there is no such advanced technology, and carbon dioxide cannot be artificially added, so the taste is slightly worse.
"Huh? Few bubbles?"
It was the first time for the two brothers Li Yutang to drink wine with this kind of feeling. They felt very novel and did not feel that there were too many bubbles at all.
On the contrary, I really enjoy the feeling of bubbles exploding in my mouth!
"That's right!"
"Then...does it need to be improved?"
"No need! It's already great that it can happen like this!"
In the absence of those advanced machines, it is already very good to be able to brew beer with this taste. What else is needed for a bicycle?
"Do you want mass production?"
Li Yutang asked tentatively.
"Well! Let's start making preparations when we get back!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
Don’t those old guys really want to develop beer themselves?
Then fulfill their wishes and let them experience the power of beer!
"yes……!"
Li Yutang responded and continued to ask, "I wonder what price should be set?"
"Just like Qingfeng Wine, let's price it at thirty cents!"
Ying Feiyu thought for a moment and said.
The main ingredient of beer is barley. As for hops, they can be found everywhere in Daqin and are not valuable.
The price is 30, so that everyone can afford it, and there is still room to make money!
Beer is different from the previous liquor.
It has a relatively low alcohol content. As long as you drink it, one pound is just like playing. If you have a larger belly, it can weigh ten to eight pounds!
But that's not the case with white wine. Even if it's Qingfeng wine with a lower alcohol content, anyone who can drink three to five kilograms of it will have to be called a hero!
Therefore, the sales volume of beer will definitely be greater than that of liquor!
Calculated this way, the profit margin of beer is actually greater!
"yes!"
The two brothers responded and hurried to do it.
When he conveyed the news to the master craftsmen in the winery, they were extremely happy!
When the beer is brewed, I will buy dozens of kilograms of it and drink it happily!
