Distilled liquor goes without saying.
The routine used by many time travel predecessors.
Because it is practical, it is used more.
And it’s simple and effective in practice.
The key is to make it once and use it for a lifetime.
Lin Wanjie no longer has the energy he had at the beginning of the time travel. He can buy the liquor outside. Once he has made the distiller, he doesn't have to worry about it himself. As for the management, I believe there will be no problems if it is left to the eldest lady.
Lin Wanjie is like a hands-off shopkeeper, and maybe one day he will return to the mountains.
Early the next morning, Lin Wanjie finished the drawings.
In order to maintain confidentiality, they were handed over to different craftsmen to build, and then they were taken home and assembled.
The three women in the family were very curious. Xiao Yuchan bought two large jars of bad wine and waited for a good show.
It was obviously turbid wine, but after a while in the still, what came out was clear and translucent wine.
The three women couldn't wait for the wine to cool down, so they took a cup one after another.
It doesn't matter if this is the case, the three women who were born into wealthy families all looked shocked and couldn't believe it.
Seeing them so shocked, Lin Wanjie murmured to himself, wondering if this wine was really that good?
So he took a sip and gradually frowned.
The distilled wine was far from what Lin Wanjie expected. Compared with the description of the taste of distilled wine in the novel, although the wine was much clearer, the flavor was rather light, probably no more than 30 degrees. It should be due to the limitations of the brewing process of the fermented rice wine. The alcohol content itself is very low. It only has brown rice as the raw material, and the taste is also much less.
If you want to truly brew a wine that left the ancients speechless, you still have to start with the raw materials.
But this is too much trouble!
And the investment is huge.
The eldest lady was attentive and saw Lin Wanjie frowning, so she asked: "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with such a clear and translucent drink?"
Lin Wanjie asked back: "Madam, do you think this wine is good?"
"Of course! I have been in the Xiao family for more than ten years and have tasted famous wines from all over the south of the Yangtze River. None of them can compare with this. I think this wine will be popular."
Lin Wanjie believed in the eldest lady's intuition and nodded: "It's good if it's hot."
However, the eldest lady knew very well what Lin Wanjie was thinking.
Even when Lin Wanjie frowned just now, the eldest lady knew that this idiot had a better idea in mind but refused to say it. He clearly wants to be lazy and hand over everything.
The eldest lady didn't want Lin Da to remain silent after being sad. Only by getting him busy could he recover as soon as possible, but she couldn't persuade him directly.
Women are good at moisturizing things and providing silent comfort.
The eldest lady thought for a moment and then frowned: "Although this thing can be popular, how long can this distiller alone make us popular? Think about the previous underwear, which has spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River in only half a year. Not only the Chen family is doing this business, but all the cloth shops are doing this business. When people know about the still, will we have to find a new way of life? "
What the eldest lady said was true. Lin Wanjie's method was only for the short term. It wasn't that he wouldn't worry about it in the future, but he just didn't want to think about it now.
"Lin Da, you have many methods, but you have to give us a way to achieve long-term peace and stability. Our family doesn't want to go through any trouble anymore."
After hearing the sincere words of the eldest lady, Lin Wanjie thought for a while and said, "I do have a recipe for making wine, but if we make our own wine, how much money do we have to invest?"
"Recipe for brewing wine?"
Lin Wan nodded: "My recipe can make the wine distilled today far better than what is produced in the market, but the brewing process can take at least a few months, or at most a year or two. The investment is too much, the return is too fast, and it also requires a brewery to recruit people. What."
"I'm not afraid of that!" Madam interrupted quickly, "I'll figure out the money issue. How about you, Mr. Lin, take charge of building the winery?"
"This..." Lin Wanjie was a little embarrassed. He just wanted to show off.
Xiao Yuchan thought this was funny, but she was not as thoughtful as her mother, and had no idea what was going on. She waved her little hands and shouted: "Okay, okay, Mr. Lin, I can help you! From now on, I will be your follower. Listen." Is your command good?"
"Brother Lin, there's me too." Xiaocui also added.
Why!
Lin Wanjie sighed in his heart, it seemed that some trouble was inevitable.
The eldest lady said she would raise the money herself, but she didn't say how.
Lin Wanjie and two women made wine at home, and were not in a hurry to rent a shop. Their small house was right at the entrance of the Slender West Lake market, and there were a lot of people and it was very lively.
In ancient times, there was no urban management. Just pull a flag in front of your home and set up a stall.
Lin Wanjie always felt that this wine was not good, and he didn't know what the ancients' reaction was after tasting it, so he first set up a small stall to test the water.
After struggling for a long time, a small jar was distilled, and it was placed at the door at dusk.
The most excited person is undoubtedly Xiao Yuchan. This eldest lady is influenced by her mother and does not like to hide in her room and live in seclusion. She likes to be in the public eye, likes to deal with people, and naturally likes to make money.
Seeing that my small stall was set up and waiting for customers to come, my face was red and full of expectations for the future.
"Miss, it's getting late, let's sell it tomorrow."
"It's just time to go home alone. Wait a while, there will definitely be guests."
At this time, the eldest lady was sitting alone in the living room of a house, looking a little cramped and nervous.
Yangzhou Wang family, the eldest lady’s natal family.
I haven't been back for several years.
The Wang family is a famous noble family in Yangzhou. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted in Yangzhou. It is extraordinary.
The eldest lady Wang Yumeng was originally the eldest lady of the Wang family and was well-known.
But she married a bad old man at a popular age and was controversial.
It is precisely because of this that the eldest lady has deep resentment towards her natal family and rarely interacts with them.
What happened to the eldest lady was an unusual situation among noble ladies.
The gentry had different businesses and had no stable income, but the family had a large number of people and the expenses were huge. In order to maintain the dignity of the family, it is normal to exchange the women of the family for some money from wealthy families.
Back then, the eldest lady had become a victim for the sake of running the family.
Now someone in the Wang family has become a high official in the court and has gone through the most difficult time of the family. Life is much easier than before.
The eldest lady said that she was going to borrow some money from her mother's family.
She felt that three to five thousand taels of silver was nothing to the current Wang family.
Moreover, her family owed it to her. She was the eldest lady after all, but she was sold to a bad old man by her family.
I chose to sacrifice at the beginning, but now I come back and ask for help, and I will not be rejected.
However, the eldest lady did not expect that she had been here for a long time and she didn't even see her parents.
Sixteen years have passed, and my father is still the head of the family, and my mother is still the mistress. I was a baby at home back then, so how could I not even see him in person?
After waiting for a full hour, someone finally came outside, not his parents, but his sister.
"Wang Yumeng, after you have brought trouble to the Xiao family, are you coming to bring trouble to the Wang family? You are not welcome here. Someone come and kick her out."
