Chapter 61 Shake the Shopkeeper

Sun Shao and Zhang Wen walked into the wine-scented workshop. Ji Yan had got the news and quickly came to Sun Shao with a wine glass.

"Captain, this wine is made according to the captain's prescription, but..." He siped his lips with a helpless face: "The effect is very different from the wine given by the captain at the beginning. We have tried several times, and the effect is different, and even the effect between several times is very different, which is really puzable.

Sun Shao took the glass, stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it, and suddenly frowned: "This wine is too strong. Of course, the effect is not good."

"Is it not good if it's too strong?" I was stunned. I was stunned. He was very smart. At the beginning of this matter, he felt that the wine was useful because of the strong wine, so he felt that the more intense the wine, the better the effect. When arranging people to steam the wine, he deliberately asked people to steam one more wine, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

"It's too much, don't you understand?" Sun Shao put down his glass and waved his hand: "Take me to see the workshop first, and then discuss it."

Ji Yan looked at Sun Shao with some disconvincedness, but she didn't dare to say anything. Ji Yan is a smart person, and she is also serious about things. She is so serious that she is a little stingy. This time, he came to Jianye to offer new wine by Zhu Zhizhi. The previous things were very smooth. Sun Quan's attitude towards him changed greatly. After Sun Shao brought the prescription for the new wine, he gave it to him. Ji Yan was very excited. He knew the important surname of the new wine. Sun Quan Neng gave him this matter, which showed his trust in him. This was a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, so he worked very hard, but he didn't expect that the new wine smelled good, but the effect of the experiment had not been ideal, which made him think about it. Interpretation. Now I heard Sun Shao say that he was too much. He was not convinced, unwilling, and regretful.

"Captain, please." Although Ji Yan was not convinced, she did not dare to despise it when she saw Zhang Wen following Sun Shao respectfully. He can look down on Sun Shao, but he dares not look down on Zhang Wen. With Zhang Wen's talent, if he can help Sun Shao, it shows that Sun Shao is indeed extraordinary, otherwise Zhang Wen would not be so obedient.

Sun Shao followed Ji Yan around and sighed that it was the national machine after all. Sun Quan's financial and material resources were much better than his. In this circle, there were 100 steaming barrels, and nearly a thousand people were busy in it. The scale was so large that he was stunned. Ji Yan explained the layout here to him in detail, and made a special statement that the workers here are all official slaves. They can't contact with outsiders and manage them all alone. In other words, as long as this institution exists for a day, they can't get out of the courtyard wall, except for death.

Sun Shao frowned and was not used to such serious exploitation, but there was nothing he could do. There seemed to be no better way to keep this secret. He said to Ji Yan, "Although they are official slaves and don't need money, they can't treat them too badly. They should be well supplied with food. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers."

Ji Yan hesitated for a moment. It was a little difficult. All the supplies here are accounted, and the daily ration supply of official slaves had to die. Sun Shao wanted to be a good person, but where did the money come from? He was hesitating. Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Zixiu, what you listen to the captain is. Since this is the captain's master here, he has his own way to vacancies. You don't have to bother."

Ji Yan listened and smiled awkwardly. Zhang Wen is right. Now he is not in charge here. Sun Shao is the boss, and Zhang Wen is the second. At best, he is just the third. Why do you care so much?

"Oh, everything is up to the captain."

"Come with me." After watching the workshop, Sun Shao took Ji Yan and Zhang Wen back to the official house. This is a small courtyard in front of the workshop. In front of it is an office hall, and behind is a rest room. Originally, it was lived by Ji Yan. After learning that Sun Shao was coming to be the master, Ji Yan consciously moved out and lived in the east wing. Sun Shao sat down in the hall, asked Ji Yan to take the prescription he wrote to Sun Shao, and pulled a bamboo slip and threw it to Zhang Wen: "Hui Shu, you are Youcheng. You will be responsible for it in the future. You have to remember some processes in detail. Zixiu, you can be Huishu's assistant for the time being for Zuo Cheng. If there is anything, you two can discuss it.

"Oh." Zhang Wen nodded and didn't say much. He quickly took out the pen and ink to prepare for the record. Although Ji Yan felt strange, she did not dare to neglect it. She quickly picked up the water and dripped two drops of water, and then began to grind the ink. After grinding the ink, Zhang Wen picked up the pen in his hand and listened intently.

"The active ingredient in this new wine is the essence of the wine. Let's call it alcohol. What is the composition of alcohol? We call it alcohol. Wine with different alcohol levels has different effects on different wounds. If it is too thick or too light, it will affect the curative effect. Sun Shao spread out the prescription and began to talk about the role of alcohol. He spoke very slowly and stopped to explain from time to time. Zhang Wen was the first time to listen to it, which was very fresh, but Ji Yan had done it for a period of time. People with considerable practical experience still had a lot of confusion in their hearts. Now after listening to Sun Shao's explanation, he suddenly opened his mind. The disobedentment has turned into smoke, listening intoxicated and absorbed.

Sun Shao spent an hour telling Zhang Wen the relevant knowledge of alcohol, and finally said, "The first thing to be controlled now is the temperature, and the second is the number of distillations. The temperature can only rely on feeling, and the control is inevitable to make mistakes, so in the end, it must be tested to clarify the alcohol level, so that we can be sure in the future. Otherwise, every A barrel of wine is different, and the generals on the front line will scold their mother.

"Then how to measure the alcohol level? How accurate can it be? Ji Yan asked.

Sun Shao looked at Ji Yan unexpectedly. There are not many literati who can think of the degree of accuracy these days. They all like to set their surnames and don't like quantify. It's almost enough. Although Ji Yan is ctoured, she also has advantages. I have a prescription here. You can send someone to buy it immediately. I'll give you another way to measure alcohol, and then you will know how accurate it can be.

Ji Yan took the recipe and took a look. There was quicklime, sulfur, charcoal, rosin, and saltpeter on it. Lin Lin always wrote a lot, of which the largest amount was quicklime. If it was before Sun Shao explained, he would have suspected Sun Shao again, but now after listening to Sun Shao's description of the new wine, he didn't say anything and was ordered to bow down.

"Oh, I'll arrange someone to buy it right away."

"Don't make the city full of wind and rain." Sun Shao took care and said, "Whether it's Cao Jian or Liu Bei, all his men have annihroner. They can't get the noise. Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be uninvited guests in this workshop."

"The captain is right." Zhang Wen nodded repeatedly: "I suggest that this is to separate different people from work, so that no one can take over the whole process, so as not to leak the secret."

"It makes sense." Sun Shao smiled and stood up and stretched out: "I'll leave the matter here to you two. I won't stay here anymore. What's the matter? You can ask someone to go to the general's mansion to find me, but you'd better not have anything to bother me."

Zhang Wen nodded with a smile, but Ji Yan was very surprised. Hearing Sun Shao's meaning, he didn't seem to want to care about specific affairs. It's really comfortable to dump the shopkeeper. The salary of thousands of stones every year is to make him famous? This male clan is a male clan. If you don't accept it, you can't accept it.

"Zixiu should not live in the east wing either. It's against the kitchen, and the oil smoke is too big. Huishu lives in the west room. You can live in the east room. As for the middle room, keep it for me. Maybe I will come to stay for two days one day. After saying that, Sun Shao shook his sleeves and left.

"This..." Ji Yan couldn't laugh or cry. She pointed to Sun Shao's back and said to Zhang Wen, "Brother Huishu, is this appropriate? What should I do if the Supreme blames me?

"As long as you and I make the wine according to the captain's method, the supreme will not be blamed." Zhang Wen patted Ji Yan's shoulder with a chest: "Besides, this is the captain who asked you and me to make contributions. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

When Ji Yan heard this, she suddenly realized.
