- That's right, the arrangements in front of you are just for making ordinary liquor. Why Li Feng knew and arranged these gadgets was, of course, because in his time, this was how liquor was made in rural areas.
The only difference is that in modern times, people directly build a large pool for cooling. However, in ancient times, there was no such thing as cement. It was really difficult to build a pool.
Li Feng thought about it and finally thought of a good way to use a large water tank instead of a pool. Although the volume of this water tank is still a bit small and it doesn't hold enough water, this is not a big problem. At worst, when the water temperature comes up, just add a few buckets of cold water and that's it.
In fact, when Li Feng drank the wine of this era for the first time, he had already decided to do it. If not for anything else, just because the wine of this era is really a bit too hard to drink. As for Li Feng, he has always been a moderate drunkard.
For his own addiction to alcohol, he had to make his own wine no matter what.
Secondly, there is another very important reason, and that is because of the matter of raising pigs. To be more precise, it should be to solve the problem of pig food.
Li Feng, who lives in the countryside, knows very well that the by-product of wine making, the distiller's grains, is definitely a rare and good feed.
In fact, in rural areas, those who make and sell wine all year round raise a lot of pigs. And this brewing, to a large extent, is for the sake of making feed for the distiller's grains.
¡°If you just rely on selling wine, you won¡¯t make much money at all. Li Feng didn't know about other places, but his hometown basically exchanged grain for wine, and one pound of rice was exchanged for one pound of wine. In other words, one hundred pounds of wine could only be exchanged for one pound of wine. In exchange for a hundred pounds of rice.
Although Li Feng didn¡¯t understand how much wine a hundred kilograms of rice could produce when making wine, he also knew that the wine sold must be mixed with more or less water.
However, with this trading method, no matter what, there shouldn¡¯t be much profit. So, to a large extent, it¡¯s also because of those lees.
Feeding this distiller¡¯s grains to pigs will not only make the pigs grow faster, it may not be as fast as feeding them directly with pig feed, but it is definitely much better than feeding them directly with grain.
¡°In addition, using this distiller¡¯s grains as feed is also very trouble-free and labor-saving. Just chop the pigweed and vegetable leaves, mix them with the distiller's grains evenly, and feed them directly. There is no need to cook them at all.
¡° Moreover, the meat quality of the pigs raised on distiller¡¯s grains is much better than that of other pigs.
It can be said that the reason why Li Feng was so impatient to make wine was for these two reasons. One is just to have wine for myself, and the other is because of the pig food issue.
In the next few days, Li Feng not only cooked all the corn he bought, and then got a clay vat for them to ferment naturally, he also taught little Yaya how to learn the pinyin every day.
So, in this room, there are sounds of "Ah oh uh Popo touches the Buddha" all day long.
There is no way to do this. These days, there are no special wines and medicines. It takes a long time to ferment.
However, today, Li Feng finally had something to do, because there was news from Master Qi that there was a family selling piglets in Majia Village not far away.
As soon as he heard the news, Li Feng couldn't sit still. These days, he has been asking everyone to help find out the news, and now he finally got a reply.
So, Li Feng immediately got on Laotie and drove the carriage towards Majia Village.
When they arrived in the village, they inquired and heard that Li Feng and the others were buying piglets, so he immediately led them to the house selling piglets.
In fact, this family is the only one in Majia Village that raises a sow. And it just so happened that a month ago, this sow gave birth to a litter of eight piglets in total.
Originally, this was a good thing. After all, the purpose of raising sows is to give birth to piglets and then sell them for money. But this time, it made the owner of this house extremely anxious.
Why? Of course, they can't be sold. This litter of piglets was born at the wrong time.
In the Tang Dynasty, most pig-raising families were those with sufficient labor force. As for the pig food used in raising pigs, generally, you basically go directly to the wild, get some pigweed and the like, come back, cook it, and then feed it to the pigs.
As for feeding grain to pigs, that is simply impossible. That is definitely a stupid thing that only a prodigal would do.
Think about it, what season is it now? It¡¯s winter. Going to the wild to find pigweed is not a simple matter. Who would be so stupid as to buy pigs and raise them in a season like this?
This has caused great harm to the family. The piglet has been around for more than a month, almost two months, and it has not been sold yet. If you want to keep it, use whatever you need to keep it. The old sow's pig food gave her a headache. Coupled with the eight and a half-year-old piglets, it is even worse.
Now, when they heard that Li Feng and the others were here to buy piglets, they immediately warmly entertained them. Especially when Li Feng decided to buy them all after seeing the eight little piglets, he was so excited that he almost cried. He took the initiative to offer Li Feng a preferential price.
After the other party reported the price directly, Lao Tie nodded to Li Feng, and Li Feng immediately began to take out a large bag of copper coins. After everyone counted them for a long time, they confirmed that the number was correct. Li Feng and Lao Tie started rushing back towards Jianghu Village non-stop.
The three thatched houses built last time were not lined up together. One of them was some distance away from the other two. This is used for making pig pens.
As for the remaining two, they are of course used for brewing wine.
"Big brother is back, I want to see Little Piggy"
"Brother Li, Uncle Tie, you are back. Hurry up and put the piglets in the pigpen, otherwise they will freeze in such a cold weather."
Li Feng and Lao Tie drove the carriage directly to the hut. As soon as they arrived, Rou Niang and Yaya came to greet them. When he went there, Li Feng told Rou Niang to lay thatch and other things in the pig pen.
Indeed, in such a cold day, this little piggy will really freeze if he stays outside for a long time. Therefore, after listening to Rou Niang's words, Li Feng and Lao Tie immediately took action and moved all eight piglets into the pig pen.
"Haha, okay, nothing should happen. Fortunately, I have this carriage."
Those little piglets were put into the pig pen. At first, maybe they were frightened along the way and suddenly arrived in such a strange environment. They were a little nervous and crowded together, not daring to move. However, it didn't take long, maybe because he got curious, and he slowly started to move around in the pig pen.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wow, this little piggy is so cute. But why do they become so ugly when they grow bigger?"
Little Yaya first looked at these piglets excitedly, then suddenly raised her head, looked at Li Feng, and asked him a question.
Once these days have come, the little girl has become accustomed to asking Li Feng if she has any questions. In this little girl's heart, this big brother is almost omnipotent and omniscient.
"Well, there are many things that are completely different when you are a child and when you grow up. For example, what is good-looking when you are a child often becomes ugly when you grow up, and what is ugly when you are a child will become ugly when you grow up. It¡¯s pretty. Don¡¯t people often say that women change in their eighteenth year? The truth is similar to this.¡±
This question really stumped Li Feng. It is true that many animals, basically, look very cute when they are young, but when this one is big, it doesn't work.
This is especially true for pigs. Otherwise, in the past, there would not be such popular pigs and pet pigs.
"Ah then big brother, can you think of a way to make me look uglier?"
After listening to Li Feng¡¯s words, Xiao Yaya¡¯s expression immediately changed.
"Why, Yaya is so cute and beautiful now. She is simply a super cute and invincible girl. Why do you want to become ugly?"
"It's just because I'm too cute now, I will definitely be ugly in the future. Big brother, I beg you, make me a little uglier quickly, okay? I don't want to be a super invincible cute girl, I will become ugly in the future ¡±
When Li Feng praised her as an invincible and cute girl, little Yaya almost burst into tears.
"Ha ha¡¡¡"
After Lao Tie and Rou Niang were stunned, they immediately started laughing. Only Li Feng and Yaya were dumbfounded, while the other flushed with anxiety. - Didn't finish reading?
