”In Europe, many people use this kind of wine to compete in alcohol consumption. If the few princes don't have enough alcohol, then they won't drink anymore. I'm afraid they would lose their manners if they drink too much!”
Mao's meaning was very clear. There was no problem with this wine, it was just that its quantity was high … In any case, the people of the Qing Dynasty did not know what the number was. It was probably just like how fierce they were, not what kind of people were above them!
On the surface, Yi Kuang seemed to be dealing with Cai Bixia, but he was also keeping an ear, he just wanted to know what Hairy # 2 said. When he heard that the alcohol was a little higher than Erguotou, he immediately felt relieved!
late Qing was a mature age of Chinese spirit distillery technology, the capital's popular Erguotou, and also resale to the mouth of the stuffy donkey, they were all distilled wine!
After the grains were fermented with wine, it naturally formed alcohol. However, regardless of how much the grains fermented the alcohol, the alcohol content would not be too high.
So you see the world's primitive fermented wine, such as rice wine, wine, beer and so on, alcohol content is not high!
Because there was a limit to the amount of alcohol fermented by bacteria, if the alcohol concentration was too high, the bacteria would also be killed. At that time, the fermentation would naturally stop!
Wu Song had drunk eighteen bowls of strong liquor on Jingyang Gang. It was only a dozen degrees of rice wine. Was he really going to give a fifty degree Erguotou a try?
Wine accuracy is low, not easily intoxicating, so there is a thousand cups of the common saying not to get drunk!
But it wasn't a good thing to not get drunk. He drank so much that his stomach almost burst. He didn't feel dizzy at all. Wasn't this what he wanted to feel?
In order to improve the quality of wine, the distilling technology was created. The principle was very simple, it was to use all means possible to vaporize the water in the low-alcohol liquor and leave the alcohol behind!
The less water there was, the higher the alcohol quality would be!
That was the theory behind the Erguotou. After distilling the liquor, the first pot would produce a pot of liquor. This was what was commonly known as the Erguotou. Since it was too strong, it could be used to make incense.
The Chinese also bought this wine to disinfect the battlefield!
The second pot of distilled wine had the best taste. It was the second pot that the people of the capital loved to drink. The third pot was as light as water and was sold to laborers at a low price.
Yi Kuang thought back to the battle results of his high level alcohol drinking. Erguotou had also drank two catties before, his alcohol capacity couldn't be worse than a woman's!
Wasn't this Green Elf a little stronger than Erguotou? What was he afraid of? This was still his own palace, he wouldn't lose out no matter what!
”Lady, please! This King will keep his word. If you drink one cup, I will definitely drink three! ”
”Good!” Delightful, bring the ice! And sugar cubes! ”
Opening up a bottle of absinthe, a thick medicinal fragrance pervaded the air, causing General Gui's nose to twitch as he puzzledly asked, ”Why is there such a strong medicinal smell? This is medicinal wine? ”
”That's right, Your Highness is right!” Mao pointed at the absinthe and said, ”This is actually European medicinal wine, the green is actually the color left by the herbs such as wormwood and anorak.”
”The wormwood has always been considered a good medicine for treating rheumatism, so it was first used to treat rheumatism!”
”Later on, I don't know what happened, but a lot of artists in Europe... Oh, this is what we call a learned man who suddenly falls in love with this taste, and as a result, people treat him as a regular drink! ”
”However, even though it's called drinking often, it's still only a small portion of people. Many commoners can't stand the smell of this medicine …” Of course, the most important reason is that this wine is very expensive! ”
”That's why it's not very popular, very few people …”
Yi Kuang clapped his hands when he heard Er Mao's words, ”Haha … ”I've been suffering from rheumatism these days, and Mr. Cai has sent me some good European medicinal wine. It's so wonderful, so wonderful!”
