Chapter 70 Lime-made wine

"Brother, why do you buy these burned limes for? Will you build a house?" Shi Jin asked.

"Hehe, Dalang, please watch." Zheng Zhi said while pouring the sorghum wine he bought into a large jar.

It has been several days since everyone returned to Weizhou. Although everything went smoothly to Bianliang this time, they were still dangerous all the way. Fortunately, all the things they had to do were done, and Lin Chong came back.

Zheng Zhi has been in a particularly good mood these two days, and he has been sleeping more steadily.

He ordered Li Er to buy a lot of burnt lime and buy a few buckets of sorghum wine, so Zheng Zhi was about to start his own experiment.

Pour all the sorghum wine into a large jar, then knock a few large pieces of quicklime into small pieces, take a piece of high-quality silk cloth and wrap it. Then put it in the wine.

"Tsk tsk..." Shi Jin shook his head repeatedly, and his heart couldn't help but feel ache. It would be fine if a jar of good wine wasted, but such a good silk cloth wasted like this. Although Shi Jin didn't speak, he still felt a pity.

Zheng Zhi also considered why he wanted to use such a good cloth. The gaps in the linen were too sparse. Only the silk cloth woven in Jiangnan was so tight, and it could greatly reduce the lime residue in the wine.

Then the heat churned, and the big tank was filled with sizzling sounds. For a moment, the yard was really moving.

Xu also drove out with Jin Cuilian. Xu was a standard virtuous wife. Generally, Xu would not ask questions about what her husband did. He knew roughly that what the officials wanted to say to him would naturally say, but there was no need to ask more questions.

At this time, I was watching the scene and also watching it.

When Zheng Zhi saw everyone surrounded him, even Old Man Jin came over and laughed: "Madam, don't be afraid, just wait until I make a good thing for you to show you."

After saying that, Zheng Zhi kept stirring the red sorghum wine in the tank. When the heat slowly dissipated, Zheng Zhi took the gourd ladle, scooped a little, and put it in his mouth to taste it.

Sure enough, the alcohol content increased and the effect was significant. Take out the cloth, pour out the lime that has been reacted, then put some broken lime bags, and then put them in the wine.

After doing it, Zheng Zhi also took charcoal and recorded the amount of lime on the paper. Zheng Zhi didn't put too much lime in each time, so that the specific ratio could be calculated more accurately, which would be simple in the future. Of course, it would also avoid putting too much lime at once, which would cause the wine to boil directly.

This happened again. Zheng Zhi turned to look at Shi Jin, smiled, scooped out a little, tasted it lightly, shouted: "Haha, good wine!"

The degree of this wine is probably more than 38 degrees, which is enough.

Zheng Zhi signaled Shi to come in and taste it again.

Shi Jin looked suspicious and said reluctantly: "Brother, are you sure you won't eat anyone to death?"

"Haha... I can't die if I eat a little lime, at most I can get stones or something. Dalang, try it." Zheng Zhi said with a smile, but the smile seemed to have a malicious smell.

Zheng Zhi scooped up a large mouthful and handed it to Shi Jin. Shi Jin took it with a look of distress: "Brother, do you really want to eat it?"

Xu, who was watching from the side, was also worried that this lime was not a good thing. I heard that lime hurt people. Now I want to eat lime, and I feel that it is inappropriate. Xu, who wanted to speak but stopped, finally said, "Officials... can't harm Dalang."

"Haha... I'm not eating anymore, I'm not doing anything, it's not doing well." Zheng Zhi smiled and gave Shi Jin some confidence.

"Brother, you are an extraordinary person. You're fine after drinking it. Maybe I'll die after eating it." Shi Jin didn't know if he was talking nonsense, but he really thought so.

However, after Shi Jin said this, he handed the gourd ladle in his hand to his mouth and forced himself to take a sip.

"Cough cough..." After drinking this sip, Shi Jin seemed to be choking, and Shi Jin was not ready. This wine of about 38 degrees is not as spicy as the previous wine of more than ten degrees. It is full of spicy flavor when you put it in. There is no seasoning in this era, and the spicy flavor is even more complete.

"Haha..." Zheng Zhi laughed and waited for this. No one in the Song Dynasty had ever drunk such a strong alcohol.

Xu was even more anxious. Shi Jin looked like he was poisoned no matter how he looked. Xu took two steps forward and said, "Official, what should I do, Dalang won't..."

"Sister-in-law, cough cough... I'm fine. It's okay... What a strong wine, I'll try another bite." Shi Jin stopped coughing, his face flushed and took another sip.

This time Shi Jin really enjoyed it. While smashing his mouth, he took another sip, and then he had to scoop it in the big tank.

"Dalang, you can't drink too much, just try it. Brother needs to process it." Zheng Zhi stopped Shi Jin from drinking again. It was really too rough. It would be bad if you eat too much lime. You have to filter it with multiple layers of silk cloth.

Then put it in the cold weather in the late autumn of the northwest to precipitate more calcium hydroxide in the wine.

If you are more particular, put some charcoal into the wine and absorb the miscellaneous colors and filter it, it will be crystal clear.

"Brother, the wine tastes really good." Shi Jin looked at Zheng Zhi taking out a few more pieces of silk cloth, and he didn't feel a pity at this time, but instead looked expectant.

"Dalang, go and call Luda first." Zheng Zhi ordered. Today, the good wine was successfully made, and the few people couldn't help drinking.

"Haole, I'll go find Brother Luda now. If he tastes it, it will be the first delicacy in heaven and earth." Shi Jin took three steps and two steps out of the yard and headed straight to Luda's residence in Jingluofu.

Not long after, Lu Da came, took a bite, and then watched Zheng Zhi's movements, filtering and filtering.

Then put it in the yard and wait for the cool down. When the temperature has been lowered, it has been left for a long time and then filtered out some particles.

Old Man Jin was always by his side but couldn't get in. He slowly packed up the use of lime and other things on the side. After listening to Zheng Zhi's instructions, he did not touch it directly with his hands.

Jin Cuilian was also cleaning silk cloth beside her.

Xu cooked some meat, cut it and brought it up.

The three of them took the bowl and scooped out the strong wine from the jar and drank it like this.

"Brother, you can't eat good wine and the gods in the sky. Sajia has become a god today." Lu Da drank a bowl of strong wine in one mouthful, and his mouth was about to get angry. He let out a few breaths and shouted, full of excitement.

"Haha... our brothers have to make a lot of money on this." Zheng Zhi also took a big sip with the joy of success. Of course, it was not like Lu Da who drank a bowl in one bite.

Zheng Zhi didn't stop Lu Da from drinking such a magnificent drink. He also wanted to see how much liquor Lu Da could drink.

Luda didn't care whether it was making money or not, and drank another bowl.

Shi Jin replied, "Brother, I'm afraid that everyone in the world wants to eat a bowl of wine, and my brother is going to get rich."

"Tomorrow, I'll find a place to open a restaurant." Zheng Zhi said again.
