Cosma Empire
Chapter 11
Mr. Klein''s face smelled like a duck egg from spring to autumn, or the one with a slit. The smell attracted flies.
Just inexplicably lost six dollars, he was a little unhappy. After swearing at the Union in the office for a while, Graf ran in again. Stinking all over, he crowded around Mr. Klein, stretched out his bandaged hand and asked for medical and nutritional expenses. What a damned fellow. I just don''t know why. Mr. crane didn''t bargain or scold Graf. He happily took out six dollars and kicked him out.
The two people who should have insisted on not getting the money to do "Market Research" until next month directly changed their clothes and left the station.
During this period, almost all bars were selling all kinds of high alcohol. The pain caused by the war is still spreading, coupled with the great social and political changes, the mental pain urgently needs something to anesthetize their spirit and body. In addition to women, I''m afraid there are only things like high alcohol.
They went into a bar called "Friends of workers" one after another. After Du Lin got into the small black door in the eyes of a big man, the smell almost made him spit out what he ate last year.
Sweat smell, foot smell, wine smell, vomit smell, dizzy body smell, and an unspeakable smell mixed together, constantly impacting and challenging his tough nerves. Graff grabbed his arm and dragged the dizzy durin to the edge of the bar. It seems that Graf is a regular here. As soon as he sat down, the bartender came up and said, "what do you want today? Red fruit wine?"
Red fruit wine is a kind of fruit wine called red fruit fermentation. After fermentation, filter out the residue and have a slightly turbid red fruit wine. The price of red fruit wine is not expensive. One cup can be bought for 11 / 2. It is one of the main alcoholic drinks of the working class. But this kind of wine has a big disadvantage, that is, it always has an inexplicable taste of rotten fruit in the wine water, which is the residual taste in fermentation.
In addition, if the fermentation time is not enough, there will be some astringent feeling in the wine.
However, all the disadvantages are not a problem under low prices.
Graff smiled, lowered his voice and said, "give us a golden light and a girl in a skirt."
The bartender looked at Graf and Dooling around him in surprise. He couldn''t believe his ears. If Graf hadn''t had a good reputation, the bartender would think he had heard wrong.
Golden light is the abbreviation of a kind of high alcohol. Its full name is "Cecilia Golden Sunshine". It originated in Cecilia of grom empire. The texture of the wine is famous all over the world for its light golden glow. The name of girl in skirt comes from a kind of wine bottle called "heaven". There is a pattern of girl in red skirt on the wine bottle, which is also from abroad. Many people affectionately call paradise wine girl in skirt, and some places call it red skirt wine.
These two kinds of wines are one of the high-grade wines of middle and low grades. In Yaoxing Empire, I dare not say anywhere else. In Tenar City, these wines are the main consumer products of middle and low classes. From workers to small rich businessmen and families, they all enjoy these two kinds of wine. However, with the heavy economic impact after the war, the taste of these two wines has become much worse. In part, the domestic private wine cellars are wantonly counterfeiting this wine. The immature technology has caused the deviation of wine accuracy and taste.
On the other hand, many local bars sell blended wine, and few original wine is sold. After blending, three bottles become four, and the extra is net profit. Many bars enjoy it.
Of course, this time, Dooling won''t drink those inferior counterfeit wines or mixed wines, because these two glasses of wine were ordered by Graf. Graff has a good reputation and is willing to help others, and some things will come out. So his fame and reputation around here are very good. Bars will not sell those fake things to him unless the bar thinks they are too busy.
In fact, sometimes prestigious people not only prove that a person is of great help to the surrounding people, but also may indicate that a person will often cause trouble to others.
Graf has both!
Soon, two glasses of high-level wine were brought up. The bar used a square cup, which could be placed in the palm of the hand. It was about 10 cm high and filled seven minutes, about twenty-five. One is as bright yellow as champagne in a dream, while the other is orange, emitting a strong wine smell at one end.
The bartender approached the bar, lowered his voice and said, "five dollars in all!"
Graff just glanced at him and slapped a five dollar note on the table. The bartender smiled carelessly and put the money into the money box.
"Try it?", Graff''s throat rolled. He worked as a porter for so long to earn more than 40 yuan. That''s why. In addition to regular drinking, he sometimes needs to ask one or two girls to discuss the origin of species, so he has worked hard to save money and only saved more than 40 yuan.
His blackened lips pressed on the edge of the wine glass. He took a small sip, then his whole body trembled, raised his neck and breathed a sigh like a groan. "It''s really delicious!" he said. After another sip, half of the wine was lost, and his muscles tightened due to heavy physical work became much more relaxed. He pushed the cup to Turin. "Try it, too."
Du Lin picked up his glass, changed direction, and took a sip. A pungent feeling suddenly appeared in his mouth. He swallowed the little liquid in his mouth and his neck immediately turned red. There seems to be a flame burning in the chest, making the whole body warm.
"It''s spicy and choking, but it''s also a little sweet.", Dooling put it down and said, "there seems to be an unspeakable smell of wood?"
Graff nodded with a smile, "yes, and dragon blood wood. Most of the high wine should be added with dragon blood wood powder. Only with dragon blood wood can we brew high wine. I don''t know what the specific principle is, but everyone says so."
At this time, Du Lin realized that in this world, the brewing of high alcohol has nothing to do with the distillation process, but is purified by a material called dragon blood wood. He has heard of dragon blood wood. It seems to be a species left over from prehistory. It exists all over the world. The growth rate of this tree is not slow, and it can be used in about 20 years. The only trouble is that the nutrients required for the growth of this dragon blood tree are somewhat different - it needs to absorb enough cow blood at each growth stage to grow.
Now there are amazing pastures next to the largest longxuemu forest farm in the world. Cow blood is used to irrigate dragon blood wood, while beef is sold to people. It is precisely for this reason that the price of beef in this world is not very expensive, and ordinary people can afford it.
Dooling tasted another glass of wine, a little bitter, but this bitter did not destroy the overall taste of the wine, but added something with a long aftertaste. He couldn''t help nodding. The girl in the skirt was better than Jin Guang. It gave people a bitterness like lovelorn, but after the bitterness, she could have a sweet aftertaste of happiness when she was in love.
After they finished drinking, they patted their hips and left, which surprised the bartender. You know, it has become a routine for Graf to make out with the bartenders every time he comes to drink. This time, he... The bartender couldn''t help looking at Dooling who was walking towards the door. He was really a beautiful young man! He smiled and didn''t know what he thought. A strange expression appeared on his face.
If Graf knew he was being treated like a fag, he would kill. Fortunately, he didn''t know, and Dooling didn''t know.
They returned to the rental room, immediately took the loaded wine out from under the bed, poured it into two cups and tasted it at the same time.
After adding syrup, the taste is not so bitter, but it is still very different from golden light and red skirt, not in the degree of alcohol, but in the taste and taste. Compared with those two kinds of mature high alcohol, this distilled high alcohol is like being hit on the forehead with an axe and showing his teeth. This kind of wine doesn''t mean there is no market, but the market is definitely not as good as those two kinds of wine.
The golden light and red skirt can be sold for $2.51 a cup in the bar. This kind of wine is only $1.5 at most. The difference of one yuan for a cup means that there is at least three yuan for a bottle, which is definitely not something that Turin and Graf can bear.
"What should I do?" he picked up the glass and bared his teeth to dry the wine in the quilt. Graff rubbed his head slightly drunk. "Think of a way!"
While recalling some things in his dream, durin thought about how to complete the qualitative change of distilled wine in this world with the level of science and technology of this world. After a while, he hesitated and said, "I have two ways."
Graf''s eyes lit up like a light bulb. "Tell me!"
"The first is storage. Store these wines in fragrant wooden barrels, preferably dragon blood wooden barrels, and press them in the wine cellar for one year. At that time, the taste will be much better than now."
"The second way is to further blend, add some berry fruits, and then reduce the degree to become a high fruit wine, so that the taste and taste can be more saturated."
Graff didn''t even think about it. He yelled, "the first one is not to choose. It takes too long. I can''t stand waiting so long. Just choose the second one. It''s fast. As long as we have money, we can try the first method. I''m tired of being poor!"
