Chapter 18 Starting to Brew Wine (for collection)
While Zhang Xiu was running back to the middle courtyard, Xiao Qi silently said in his heart: "Sign in."
"Ding, the host has signed in this time. The task of signing in is to practice "Divine Archery" to a great degree, or to practice "Evil Resisting Knife Manual" to the smallest detail. (After the task is completed, you will receive a random reward from the system)"
After signing in, Xiao Qi began to check the "wine making skills" in his mind, and he was overjoyed after reading it!
This is modern winemaking!
It's not that Xiao Qi likes drinking, but because this kind of brewing technique can brew high-quality liquor. Only a few simple distillations can produce high-degree alcohol.
I will go to war in the future, with this thing, no matter I or my subordinates in the future, the chance of wound infection will be reduced!
Excitedly came to the middle courtyard, ready to discuss with his young daughter-in-law to vacate a room for wine making.
As a result, when he saw Zhang Xiu, he saw this girl rolling her eyes and glaring at him sideways:
"The official is trying to scare people again. This time Xiu'er didn't forget to turn off the engine!"
Seeing this little girl's delicate and naive appearance, Xiao Qi couldn't help but stepped forward, pinched her little round face and gently tugged it left and right.
"Ha! My good daughter-in-law has finally gotten fatter than before. It's okay, it's okay, it shows that I, Xiao Qi, still love my daughter-in-law very much."
Zhang Xiu has long been immune to this nonsense gibberish, and slapped away two big hands that were grabbing her small face:
"Go wash up and eat, the water is ready for you."
Xiao Qi is very satisfied with her current life, at least this life is far away from "kneeling on the washboard and pushing the urinal".
After discussing with the little girl, the little girl decided to free up a side room in the inner courtyard where she lives to make wine.
This era is still very conservative about various crafts, and even our own children are passed on from male to female, let alone outsiders.
The little girl demanded that this thing must be done in the inner courtyard, so as to save her from being stolen by others in the future.
As for where the ability to make wine comes from, that mysterious master is a good backer!
In order to prevent inexplicable things that may appear in the future, Xiao Qi also vaccinated Zhang Xiu. The master taught a lot of things, and he will bring them out again when the time is right.
He even secretly took out two knives and told Zhang Xiu that his master knew that he was married.
He sent someone to quietly deliver two swords as a wedding gift from the master to his apprentice.
The little girl had seen many weapons before, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time when she saw the two identical Tang knives.
Let Xiao Qi hide it quickly, saying that if this thing is seen by others, it will definitely attract thieves, and it may also cause many people to rob it.
Xiao Qi comforted her, there are many masters of this thing, just hide it from outsiders to see, don't treat it too much as a treasure.
With the previous bow as a base, Zhang Xiu did not doubt Xiao Qi's words, but he still asked Xiao Qi to put it away.
The other one is used when two people quietly practice "Evil Resisting Sword Manual".
So far, Zhang Xiu has already regarded Xiao Qi's master who has never met as a peerless expert.
If you think about it, you can give away such a magic weapon as soon as you say it, and if you give it back, you will get two.
That precious bow is also a rare treasure in the world. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Zhang Xiu would never believe that someone would just give such a treasure to someone.
Xiao Qi also took time to take Zhang Xiu to the county town for a few times, firstly to take his wife for a stroll, and secondly to purchase things for wine making.
In this era, there is no such thing as distillation, let alone such an appliance.
Xiao Qi had no choice but to find a company that sold big pots, bought two of the largest cast iron pots, and asked the buyers to order several oversized steamers according to the size of the pots he bought.
Xiao Qi had to prepare the rest by himself. He bought some small bamboos and planned to cut them into small bamboo tubes to collect the distilled high alcohol.
In order to make it easier to buy things in the county and bring them back, Xiao Qi discussed with his wife that he might as well just buy a rough horse and go back to pull the cart.
The little girl said that she is not at home now and you have the final say.
Xiao Qi was speechless. This girl is getting more and more out of touch now. Can't she talk properly to discuss things?
But thinking about it again, it's true that men buy things these days, and they don't need to ask their wives for instructions.
When he came to the mule and horse shop, Xiao Qi quickly picked out a poor horse that could not only pull a cart but also ride because of his 'riding proficiency'.
Ignoring the boss's series of flattery, Xiao Qi bought another carriage with a shed.
After calculating the price, it would be more than 40 taels of silver, and I thought that the cattle were more expensive than the land these days, but now the fertile land is only a few taels of silver per mu.
Although the war has reduced the price of land property, the price of this kind of carriage and horses, which have become the main means of transportation, has actually increased a lot.
However, he didn't bother with the money, and directly took out the money from the package he brought to pay.
Finally, on the recommendation of the owner of the car dealership, I bought a set of riding equipment such as a saddle and whip.
He took the carriage, loaded it with the things he bought, and returned to his village outside the city.
Not long after buying the carriage, Zhang Xiu regretted it, not because she thought it was troublesome to feed the horse.
But Xiao Qi now has one more activity, he just rides a horse and talks about going out when he has nothing to do.
As a result, I often went out for lunch and came back after dark.
At first Zhang Xiu was worried that she fell off the horse and broke it, and she cried a few times.
Although Xiao Qi came back and saw his little daughter-in-law crying with worry, she blamed herself and made up her mind to come back sooner next time.
But he himself is only a teenager, and he forgets everything when he goes out to play.
Every time I found that it was getting dark, I hurried home and apologized to my daughter-in-law who was waiting at the door.
One day Zhang Xiu really ran for so long because of this guy, not to mention the delay in studying, and it made people always worried.
When Xiao Qi shamelessly apologized again, he stomped his feet and cursed: "A dog can't change eating shit!"
Who knew that Xiao Qi was not only not angry, but instead answered with a smile: "That's right! It can be changed to eat shit, it's called a police dog!"
Before Zhang Xiu could ask what a police dog was, Xiao Qi quickly put his arm around his wife's shoulders and interrupted her while walking into the courtyard.
"Xiu'er, I thought of a good story for my husband on the road just now. I'll tell you after dinner."
Zhang Xiuqi gritted his teeth, every time this guy saw himself getting angry, he would make up a story to coax himself.
But I am so unsatisfied that I forgive him every time.
The key is that the stories are all so good!
Xiao Qi didn't always have fun riding a horse. After he got all the things for wine making, he started to make wine at home.
In the beginning, the brew went bad a few times. In Xiao Qi's words: the vinegar is enough to last for many years.
However, the subsequent wine brewing was successful, after filling several wooden barrels with lids that Xiao Qi had custom-made by a carpenter.
Xiao Qi began to distill and purify.
After two purifications, Xiao Qi knew he had succeeded.
The second purification can definitely be called alcohol, no matter how big a drinker is, he can't hold it if he drinks a big bowl.
For a better disinfection effect, after the third purification, Xiao Qi sealed the alcohol into a custom-made porcelain bottle and put it in a room specially vacated by him.
