The so-called palace jade wine is just Erguotou mixed with boiled water.

Teacher Zhao Lirong's classic quotation was recited by Zhao Kun, and he never thought that it would become the national drink of the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, this is another story.

When Zhao Kun traveled through time and came to the Qin Dynasty, he made desperate plans for the lottery. He planned to elope with the old eunuch, Confucianism and Legalism...etc., etc., which gave him many lottery opportunities.

Although most of the items smoked were amoxicillin, there were also many strange and weird things smoked.

I smoked several pieces of these Erguotou.

Zhao Kun told Fu Su before that the wine in Qiong Yao Palace was not strong enough, and it was not because he was drunk and talking nonsense.

But it's really not strong enough.

In the Qin Dynasty, food was an important resource, so not only was alcohol prohibited among the people, they were also not allowed to make wine privately.

But prohibition only targeted farmers, not bureaucrats.

In the Qin Dynasty, there was a special brewing organization responsible for brewing and selling wine.

However, the wine brewed by these brewing institutions is only about ten degrees, which is similar to modern beer.

For Zhao Kun, who had drunk liquor with over 45% alcohol content in his previous life, it was nothing.

When he had just smoked Erguotou, he took it out and took a sip. It felt like drinking industrial alcohol, and it immediately made him drunk and unconscious.

But it was okay, I just fell asleep for two days.

Later, he summed up his experience and concluded that his soul should have adapted to the wine he drank in his previous life, but his body did not, which is why he was confused by Erguotou.

Before leaving the palace, Zhao Kun planned to use these Erguotou mixed with boiled water to make a small fortune.

After all, Qin people’s taste for wine is engraved in their bones.

But it’s definitely not possible to just sell wine on your own.

Then he thought of Wang Li.

The Wang family's status in Pinyang is undeniable. With Wang Li joining, it will not be difficult to open up sales in Pinyang's upper class circles.

Don't think that the son of the First Emperor has any domineering aura. In fact, he is just a prince to scare people.

If you want to do well out there, you have to rely on connections.

Although Zhao Kun wouldn't curry favor with Wang Li, it was still a good choice to make friends.

While Zhao Kun was pondering, Wang Li came back to his senses from the aroma of wine and asked curiously: "Palace Jade Liquid Wine? How can there be such wine in the world?"

"It didn't exist before, but now, if I say it does, it will naturally happen."

Zhao Kun smiled meaningfully.

"If you say you have it, then you have it..."

Wang Li tilted his head and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Sir, do you mean that you brewed this wine?"

"hehe."

Zhao Kun smiled noncommittally, and then pushed the clay pot in Wang Li's hand forward: "Try it first, see how it tastes, and then we can continue talking!"

"smell?"

Wang Li looked into the pottery pot, and at that moment, he was hooked straight into it, and the wine bug in his stomach immediately became active.

Despite his young age, he drank a lot of wine. He knew it was a good bottle of wine just by smelling and looking at it.

It is a recognized fact that Qin people like strong liquor, and this enthusiasm cannot be stopped by the prohibition on alcohol, so when Zhao Kun was mixing the liquor, he only lowered the alcohol content by half.

Wine with more than 20 degrees of alcohol was considered outstanding in the Qin Dynasty.

After Wang Li received Zhao Kun's signal, he couldn't wait to take a sip.

Although the spiciness and throat irritation of the liquor have been neutralized, the rich aroma of the liquor still cannot be concealed.

“It’s really a good wine!”

Wang Li smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

For those who love wine, the happiest thing is to encounter a bottle of good wine.

Before he finished speaking, he immediately took another big sip.

Then his cheeks turned red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

After a while, he asked Zhao Kun with blurred eyes: "How much of this wine... do you have?"

It was the first time for him to drink this kind of strong liquor, and he became a little drunk without realizing it.

However, after all, he is a good drinker, so he will not be drunk to the point of unconsciousness.

Upon hearing Wang Li's question, Zhao Kun chuckled and said, "I have five hundred jars like the one in your hand."

"What!?"

Wang Li's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Zhao Kun in surprise.

He thought that Zhao Kun only brewed a dozen bottles, but he didn't expect that there were so many.

Because in his impression, wine making is not an easy task.

After all, in ancient winemaking, the wine yield was not high because of the koji.

To brew hundreds of cans of wine, the amount of grain required is not a small amount.

How could Zhao Kun, an ordinary prince, get so much grain to make wine?

"how?"

Zhao Kun ignored Wang Li's surprise and raised his eyebrows at him: "What do you think of the taste of this wine?"

Wang Li babbled, thought for a moment, and then replied truthfully: "It's better than any wine I've had before, even better than the wine given by His Majesty!"

“What about the taste?”

"It has a mellow aroma and is truly top quality."

After Wang Li thought about it for a moment, his eyes became a little more satisfied: "If the young master really decides to sell, it will indeed be a good deal with huge profits!"

Zhao Kun smiled and shook his head: "Sales of several hundred bottles are not a huge profit."

"What I want is to use these hundreds of bottles to open up the market, and then build our own winery and wine shop!"

"this....."

Wang Li opened his lips slightly and looked at Zhao Kun blankly: "Master, do you know that it is against the law to make wine privately?"

"I know it's against the law, so I'm looking for you!"

"Your Wang family is in Pinyang, can't they even set up a legal brewery?"

"But......"

"But what? The output of the brewery is also yours, and I can guarantee that the cost is definitely lower than other breweries!"

After hearing this, Wang Li's breathing became heavy.

Suddenly he turned to look at Zhao Kun, with a bit of eagerness in his eyes, and asked: "You mean, brewing this kind of wine requires very little grain?"

"More than just a few? To be precise, the wine I brew does not require any existing grains at all!"

Zhao Kun smiled and answered calmly.

"???"

Wang Li was stunned.

What does it mean that existing food is not needed?

Not using rice, not using millet, or not using wheat?

"are you kidding me?"

"Brother Wang, although we have only known each other for a short time, we have hit it off. Why am I teasing you? What's more, I am short of money, very short of money, and I want to rely on you to help me make more money!"

After Wang Li heard this, he suddenly remembered what his father had said before, that Zhao Kun didn't have much property, so he wanted to ask for a reward from His Majesty.

But even so, he still didn't believe that there was wine in the world that could be brewed without food.

Seeing Wang Li's confused look, Zhao Kun shook his head and smiled, then took out a sweet potato from his arms and handed it to him: "This thing is called sweet potato. You will get me a piece of land by then, and I will plant it and wait for it."

With the output, we have the raw materials for wine making!”

"This is......"

"Don't worry about what this is, just tell me whether you want to follow me or not!"

Hearing this, Wang Li took a deep look at Zhao Kun, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded heavily and said: "The things you took out are all good things. If you don't say anything else, the longevity pot is in short supply in Pinyang."

;

So I decided to work with you. These sweet potatoes will be grown on my fiefdom. I will manage it personally and will never let anyone know about it. I will also tell my father about the new winery, so it shouldn’t be a big problem!"

"Wait a minute! What does longevity pot mean?" Zhao Kun couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Wang Li's words.

"The iron pot you asked Yan Liang to make has now become a commodity that the big families in Pinyang are rushing to buy. A good iron pot costs a hundred taels!"

Wang Li said with some complaints: "You have such a good thing, why don't you let our Wang family make it? You insist on taking advantage of the Yan family!"

Zhao Kun: "......"

I just want to eat hot pot.

These Qin people don’t know how to cook, so why are they rushing to buy iron pots?

It’s outrageous to pay a hundred taels for a pot!
