Chapter 22 General Tears
When the butler heard the sound, he thought something had happened, so he rushed in with a stick.
Seeing Xiao Tao spread on the bed, his pretty face was flushed with disheveled clothes, he immediately opened his eyes and shouted angrily:
"Bold slut, dare to seduce the young master!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Taozi almost passed away.
Xiao Zicheng raised his foot and kicked him. If this guy went out to gossip, his stepmother knew that he would have to make some trouble.
After a lesson, the housekeeper became timid and Xiao Zicheng ordered him to bring a few bags of brown rice.
"Master, why do you want so much brown rice?"
The housekeeper asked with a confused look on his face.
Xiao Zicheng was too lazy to explain to him, so he shut up with a look, "If you ask you to take it, go and get it quickly. How can there be so much nonsense?"
The butler smiled embarrassedly and ran away happily. Not long after, several servants brought the brown rice over.
Xiao Zicheng looked at the brown rice on the ground, his eyes were full of light, but having these alone was not enough. The most important thing was to have equipment.
"Oh, as a playboy, I actually have to do it myself..."
Xiao Zicheng sighed and asked the butler to get the materials, and at the same time called Xiao Fangzhi.
Xiao Fangzhi, who was drinking tea in the study, had heard from his servants that Xiao Zicheng had someone to make a lot of brown rice.
When he arrived at Xiao Zicheng's courtyard and saw the food on the ground, Xiao Fangzhi couldn't help but frowned:
"Cheng'er, why are you doing so much brown rice?"
Xiao Zicheng pulled Xiao Fangzhi over, and without waiting for Xiao Fangzhi to scold him, he said solemnly:
"Father, do you want the soldiers under your command to increase their survival rate after being injured? We can even make a big profit."
Xiao Fangzhi snorted lightly and reached out to pat Xiao Zicheng on the back:
"I think you are tight-skinned. You are talking nonsense in broad daylight. Besides, have you made a lot of money by coal stone?"
"What does nonsense mean? Dad, shouldn't your attention be on the survival rate of the injured?"
Seeing his son's crazy appearance, Xiao Fangzhi felt worried. Could it be that he had fallen into the water before and left the disease?
If this brat is not enlightened, he has never heard of the stirrups he made. If he is enlightened, how could he point to a pile of food and say that it can increase the survival rate of the injured?
You have to find another doctor to see it. You have finally gotten into an official position, so don’t cause trouble.
Xiao Fangzhi sighed and said earnestly:
"Stop talking nonsense. Since you are resting, you can rest well. Another day, I will invite the imperial doctor from the palace to come and have a look for you."
Xiao Zicheng was choked for a long time and couldn't speak, so he jumped straight into a hurry:
"I'm not sick and looking for any imperial doctor! If you don't believe it, just walk around and see. When I really get out the alcohol, I have to pay the money if I want it!"
Xiao Fangzhicai didn't believe what Xiao Zicheng said, what alcohol is, and he has never heard of alcohol that can cure diseases.
"Okay, okay, if you really make it, what is the silver?"
Seeing that Xiao Zicheng's reaction was so intense, Xiao Fangzhi did not argue anymore and even ordered him to let him do anything.
To avoid this guy being emotional and getting sick, that's amazing.
With Xiao Fangzhi's approval, Xiao Zicheng no longer hesitated and started to make trouble with confidence.
First, he instructed the servants to clean the brown rice, pick out all kinds of bad rice grains, and soak the rest in water.
He also ordered the servants to change the water every day, and the process lasted for two or three days.
Next is the most critical equipment problem. To distillate, you must have a distiller.
However, there are no distillers for sale nowadays.
Xiao Zicheng originally wanted the butler to find someone to make a distiller according to his request, but when the butler heard this, he felt that the still was somewhat similar to the alchemy furnace in the Taoist temple.
Fortunately, Taoism is prevalent in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Taoist temples of all sizes are almost more than thatched cottages. It is really simple to find an alchemy furnace.
I am rich these days, are you still afraid that I can’t buy anything?
When Xiao Zicheng saw the alchemy furnace bought by the butler, he was very satisfied. This was the predecessor of the still.
Just a little modification and insert a few tubes. As for other equipment, there are ready-made ones here.
Brown rice needs to be soaked for several days before it can be easily steamed, but it is not useful yet. Xiao Zicheng looked at the simple still in the courtyard, but the wineworm in his stomach was also hung up.
It's a cold day now, if you come to have a glass of strong wine, it will feel so good to think about it.
Hi! Why did I forget that although Dazhou’s wine is not very good, there are ready-made fruit wines!
The most important thing is that according to the brewing method of brandy, you can tinker with strong wine without the need for koji, and it tastes good.
Thinking of this, he directly asked the butler to buy ready-made products, which are some fruit wine brewed by ordinary people.
Moreover, Xiao Zicheng only needs to brew fruit wine for about 30 days, and it is mainly wine.
After everything was ready, Xiao Zicheng began to develop his distilled liquor.
Xiao Zicheng is so familiar with this thing. As a senior alcoholic, he has also tinkered with distillation equipment at home, so not long after, the first barrel of distilled wine was released.
"Young Master... Master, what kind of wine is this?"
The butler stared at the bucket of clear and transparent liquid and swallowed.
"I haven't thought about the name yet, but since it's a new wine variety, I'll have to make a louder name."
Xiao Zicheng frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly laughed a little: "I think it's called General Tears."
"General's tears?"
The butler looked strange when he heard this. Looking at the young master's malicious smile, he immediately woke up.
The young master is having a fight with the master...
Xiao Fangzhi thought about it for a long time in the study, but in the end he was still worried, afraid that the bastard would cause something else.
Therefore, he quietly came to the small courtyard where Xiao Zicheng was. Unexpectedly, he smelled a strong fragrance from a distance.
"What's the smell, so fragrant?"
Looking at his father who was coming over while smelling the smell, Xiao Zicheng smiled slightly, scooped out a large bowl, and handed it to Xiao Fangzhi and said:
"The freshly baked general's tears, a bowl of ten taels of silver, will not bargain."
Listening to the strange wine name, Xiao Fangzhi gave his son annoyed and turned his face away. He remembered the bet not long ago, and he couldn't bear to see him.
However, he has been in the army all year round, and wine is too attractive to him. After some struggle, he still paid the money happily.
A sly smile flashed in Xiao Zicheng's eyes and he stared at his father with a smile.
Xiao Fangzhi took a breath, took the wine bowl, and poured it into his mouth in one gulp.
"Hiss..." Xiao Fangzhi took a breath, his face turned red with a naked eye, "It's so fucking satisfying!"
The wine was just distilled, with an alcohol concentration of at least fifty degrees, and it was very spicy.
He just wanted to deliberately mess with his father, but he never expected that Xiao Fangzhi would just go in with a mouthful of stuffy mouth. The big bowl was at least half a pound...
As expected, the next second, Xiao Fangzhi, who had never been exposed to strong wine, slammed it on the spot for a few shakes and fell straight down.
