Chapter 9 Research
Mr. Crien's face was as bad as duck eggs that had been put from spring to autumn, and it was still a crack, and even the smell was flies.
He was already a little unhappy after losing six dollars inexplicably. After cursing the unionists in the office for a while, the guy Graf ran in again. He squeezed against Mr. Crien with a smelly body, stretched out his bandaged hand and asked for nutrition for medical expenses. It was such a damn guy, but for some reason, Mr. Crien did not bargain, nor did he scold Graf. He took out six dollars and drove him out.
The two men who should have been able to hold on until next month to get the money to do "market research", changed their clothes and left the station.
During this period, almost all bars sold all kinds of high-alcohol wines. The pain caused by war was still spreading, and with great social and political changes, spiritual pain urgently needed something to numb one's spirit and body. The best choice was besides women, there were probably only things like high-alcohol wines.
The two of them entered a bar called "Friends of Workers" one after another. After Du Lin entered the black small door under the scrutiny of a big man, the smell that almost made him spit out all the food he had eaten last year.
The smell of sweat, feet, wine, vomit, dizzy body odor, and an indescribable odor mixed together, constantly impacting and challenging his tough nerves. Graff grabbed his arm and pulled the dizzy Dulin to the edge of the bartender. It seemed that Graff was a regular customer here. As soon as he sat down, the bartender came over, "What do you want to order today? Red fruit wine?"
Red fruit wine is a kind of fruit wine called red fruit fermentation. After fermentation, filter out the residue and a slightly turbid red fruit wine is found. The price of red fruit wine is not expensive. You can buy a cup at eleven or two cents. It is one of the main alcoholic beverages of the working class. However, this kind of wine has a big disadvantage, that is, it always has an inexplicable smell of rotten fruit in the wine, which is the residual taste of fermentation.
In addition, if the fermentation time is not enough, the wine will also feel astringent.
However, all the disadvantages are not a problem at low prices.
Graf laughed, lowered his voice and said, "Give us a cup of golden light, a cup of girls in skirts."
The bartender looked at Graff and Dulin beside him in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears. If Graff hadn't had good reputation, the bartender would have thought he had heard it wrong.
Golden Light is the abbreviation of a high-altitude wine, its full name is "Sesi Golden Sunshine". It is native to Sesivia in the Grom Empire. The texture of the wine is famous all over the world for its faint golden color. The name of a girl wearing a skirt comes from a high-altitude wine bottle called "Paradise". The bottle contains the pattern of a girl wearing a red skirt, which is also from abroad. Many people affectionately call Paradise wine a girl wearing a skirt, and there are also places called Red Skirt Wine.
Both wines are considered one of the high-level wines of low-end grades. In the Yaoxing Empire, it is hard to say that in the city of Tener, these wines are the main consumer products of the middle and low-class people. From workers to small wealthy merchants and families, they all enjoy these two wines. However, with the severe damage caused by the post-war economy, the taste of these two wines has become much worse. Part of it is the domestic private wine cellars that are counterfeiting this wine, and the immature craftsmanship has caused deviations in alcohol and taste.
On the other hand, many bars sell blended wine, and few original wines are sold. After blending, three bottles become four bottles, and the extra profit is pure profit, and many bars enjoy it.
Of course, this time Dulin will not drink those inferior counterfeit wines, nor will he drink blended wines, because these two glasses of wine are ordered by Graff. Graff has a good reputation, is helpful, and will also make some things happen, so he has a good reputation and reputation nearby, and the bar will not sell those fake things to him unless the bar thinks it is too idle.
In fact, sometimes a prestigious person not only proves that a person is of great help to the surrounding people, but may also indicate that a person will often cause trouble for others.
Graff has both!
Soon two glasses of high-altitude wine were brought up. The bar used a square glass, which could be placed in the palm of the hand, about ten centimeters high, and was about 70% full, about two or five. One glass was bright yellow like champagne in a dream, while the other glass was orange and yellow, which exuded a strong aroma of wine when it was served.
The bartender approached the bar, lowered his voice and said, "A total of five!"
Graf just glanced at him and slapped a five-dollar cash on the table. The bartender smiled indifferently and took the money into the money box.
"Taste?" Graff's throat rolled. He had been working as a porter for so long to earn more than 40 yuan. This is the reason. In addition to coming to drink often, he sometimes had to call one or two girls to discuss the origin of the species, so he had already worked hard to save money, and only saved more than 40 yuan.
His black lips pressed against the edge of the wine glass. He took a small breath, then he trembled all over, raised his neck and let out a sigh of relief as if he was moaning, "It's really delicious!" As he said that, he took another big sip, and a glass of wine was already half lost. His muscles, which were tightened by heavy physical work, also became much looser. He pushed the cup to Dulin, "Try it, too."
Dulin picked up the wine glass and changed direction, took a small sip, and a spicy and choking feeling suddenly appeared in his mouth. He swallowed the small amount of liquid in his mouth, and his neck immediately turned red. There seemed to be a flame burning in his chest, making his whole body warm.
"Spicy, choking, but there's a hint of sweetness." Du Lin put it down and quipped, "It seems that there is still an indescribable smell of wood?"
Graf nodded with a smile, "Yes, there is also Dragon Blood Wood. Most of the high-altitude wines need to add the powder of Dragon Blood Wood. Only by adding Dragon Blood Wood can you make high-altitude wines. 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 and distillation process of high wine have no connection with the distillation process, but is purified through a material called dragon blood wood. He has heard from people that it seems to be a species left over from prehistoricity, and it is found all over the world. The growth rate of this tree is not slow and can be used in about twenty years. The only troublesome thing is that the nutrients required for the growth of this dragon blood wood are somewhat different - it requires absorbing enough cattle blood at each growth stage to grow.
There are now amazing pastures next to the largest dragon blood wood forest farm in the world. The cow blood is used to irrigate the dragon blood wood, while the beef is sold for people to eat. It is precisely for this reason that beef is not very expensive in this world, and ordinary people can afford it.
Dulin tasted another glass of wine, which had a little bitterness, but this bitterness did not destroy the overall taste of the wine, but instead added a long aftertaste. He kept nodding. This girl in a skirt tasted better than Golden Light, giving people a bitterness like a broken heart, but after the bitterness, she could have a sweetness and aftertaste of happiness in love. It's OK.
After the two of them finished drinking, they patted their butts and left, which surprised the bartender. You know, every time Graff came, he had to be intimate with the wine lovers, except for drinking. This time he... the bartender couldn't help but look at Du Lin who was walking towards the door. He was indeed a very pretty young man! He smiled, but didn't know what he thought of, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
If Graff knew that he was regarded as a gay man, he would definitely kill people. Fortunately, he didn't know, and Dulin didn't know either.
The two returned to the rental house and immediately took out the filled high-altitude wine from under the bed, poured it into two cups, and tasted it at the same time.
After adding syrup, the taste is no longer so bitter, but there is still a huge difference compared to golden light and red skirts. It is not in terms of the alcohol level, but in terms of taste and taste. Compared with the two mature high-level wines, this distilled high-level wine is like being chopped on the forehead with an axe and grinning. Such wines do not mean that there is no sales, but the sales are definitely not as good as those two types of wines.
Golden light and red skirts can be sold in the bar for 2.50 yuan, and this kind of wine is only 1.5 yuan. The difference between a cup and a dollar means that a bottle is at least 3 yuan, and this is definitely not something that Dulin and Graff can bear.
"What should I do?" He picked up the cup and bared his teeth and drank the wine in the quilt. Graf, who had a slightly drunk face, rubbed his head, "Think of a way!"
While recalling some things in his dreams, Dulin thought about how to complete the qualitative change of distilled liquor in this world with the technological level of this world. After a while, he hesitated and said, "I have two ways."
Graff's eyes suddenly lit up like a light bulb, "Tell me!"
"The first type is storage. Use wooden barrels with fragrance, preferably dragon blood wood barrels to store these wines and press them in the wine cellar for a year. Then the taste will definitely be much better than it is now."
"The second method is to further blend, add some berries, and then reduce the degree and turn it into a high fruit wine. The taste and taste can be more saturated."
