Cui Shining was very obedient and immediately sealed the liquor jar, sealed it with cork and wax, and tied it twice with oil paper: "This way it won't float away."

Mu Tingxue ordered a condenser tube device from her second brother-in-law's place to purify the alcohol.

He also taught his eldest brother-in-law how to brew high-concentration liquor.

Of course, her original purpose was to purify 75% medical alcohol. High-strength liquor is just convenient.

Just as Mu Tingxue continued to distill and purify, and produced a bottle of standard medical alcohol, Cui Shining stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, can the Cui family's winery be allowed to brew and produce this kind of top-quality sake?"

"can."

The old rule is to invest in technology.

The two discussed the plan for a while, and finally, like Maijiang and Spicy Douban, the profit from top-quality sake, which is high-concentration liquor, was divided 50-50 between the two parties.

"This kind of high-concentration liquor is subject to high alcohol taxes."

The Chinese people consume immeasurable amounts of tobacco and alcohol, which support countless aircraft carriers, and all military expenditures refer to it.

Extreme alcohol prohibition will only cause the price of alcohol on the black market to soar dozens of times, causing social disorder and various violent incidents.

Mu Tingxue couldn't drink.

Many women cannot accept the taste of liquor, but it is something like this that can produce happy dopamine in people. Human beings are creatures that naturally pursue happiness.

“It’s up to you and Cui’s Winery will implement it!”

Cui Shining had a very upright attitude. The big cake of high-concentration liquor has great prospects. How can it be so fragrant if you can take the first bite? "I will go to Qin Chuanhou and order a batch of porcelain cups and porcelain tubes. "

"The condenser tube is used by me to purify medical alcohol. If you just want to simply produce liquor, Tianguo Steamed Liquor will do."

The modern condensation device has the same principle as the ancient Chinese method of steaming wine in a heavenly pot, but the equipment and instruments are more sophisticated.

"Heavenly Pot? I've never heard of it. Do you have any drawings?"

"Get pen and ink."

Cui Jiangjiang immediately helped her lay out a piece of white tissue paper sprinkled with gold, and polished the crystal ink used by the palace.

Mu Tingxue dipped her pen in ink and drew the design of Tianguo Steamed Wine.

"Your Highness, what is this semi-elliptical thing at the bottom?"

"An earth pot, a heating vessel used to hold wine tanks."

"Is the top one the heavenly pot?"

"Yes, it can condense the wine steam, collect it at the bottom of the pot, and drip into the hinge..."

Cui Jiangjiang had many questions, and Mu Tingxue was very patient and answered them one by one.

After finishing the painting, Mu Tingxue explained to the Cui family father and daughter some specific methods and steps about wine making and steaming wine in a heavenly pot in "Essential Art of Qi Min" and "Dongpo Wine Classic".

In addition, she also drew another drawing based on the bronze still unearthed from the Jin Dynasty ruins in Xishanzui Village, Qinglong County, Hebei Province in 1975. Including the dome bottom, wine tank, leather, steamer and other structures.

Unconsciously, dusk is getting darker.

Cui's father and daughter resigned.

Mu Tingxue strolled to the entrance of the palace, looked up at the new moon in the sky, and politely invited her to dinner: "You two might as well stay for a meal. The dining room has prepared hot and sour noodles, Yang Yang's favorite food."

"What is hot and sour noodles?" Cui Jiangjiang became interested.

"It's a delicacy made of sweet potato vermicelli and chili."

When Cui Shining heard that it was the regent's favorite food, he knew that the regent was coming to eat at the eldest princess's place. He was a little afraid of the brother-in-law, so he resisted his desire for hot and sour noodles, took his daughter and whispered, "Your mother has made a meal." The dishes on the big table are all your favorites, Jiang Jiang."

Cui Jiangjiang believed his father's lies and went home to have a "big meal", losing the hot and sour noodles.

*. *. *

Mu Tingxue thought Yangyang was here to eat hot and sour noodles.

Who would have thought that he took out a wooden letter made of golden nanmu from his arms and handed it to her with a blushing face.

"what is this?"

Mu Tingxue took it. The wooden letter was ingeniously designed. After opening it, there was a piece of carefully framed golden rattan paper with a line of words written on it with iron paintings and silver hooks.

[Jiyou month, Wuzi day, Bingxu hour, Yimao year]

"Ahem, the birth date of this king."

Yan Yang stared at her tenderly, "Take the four pillars of year, month, day and hour."

Mu Tingxue smiled lightly and said: "You can't reveal your birthday to others easily. You have so many enemies. It would be bad if you accidentally fall into the hands of a sorcerer and use your horoscope to make you tired of winning."

For this kind of thing, one would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist, and be in awe.

Yan Yang was getting closer and closer to her, his voice was low and hoarse: "I have heard that when it comes to marriage, unmarried men and women must exchange wedding invitations and see each other's zodiac signs and birth dates."

Mu Tingxue's heartbeat skipped half a beat.

The birthday card in his hand suddenly became like a soldering iron.

Her marriage to Yan Yang was directly granted by her mother.

On the day of the wedding, the regent couldn't wait to send a betrothal gift of 180,000 taels of gold, as well as five-color silk, money, money, pigs, sheep, wild geese, noodles, fruits, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and ginger, etc. There are rules for the betrothal gift. , displayed in the atrium.

The emperor only spent 20,000 gold when he hired her, and the prince normally spent 8,000 gold when he hired his wife.

However, the regent sent 180,000 gold, which was more than the limit, but no one in the civil or military dynasty dared to object, and the impeachment memorials were rejected by the queen mother.

Among the people, the steps of marriage are different from those in the royal family. Before the man officially sends the bride price, both parties need to exchange Geng Tie and check their horoscopes.

"Are we not compatible?"

"Ah."

The Prince Regent looked at her expectantly.

In Yan Yang's view, although she is the eldest princess, she still has to go through the wedding procedures and wedding rituals according to the folk methods after living among the people for so many years. You cannot save money by exchanging Geng Tie.

Mu Tingxue said thoughtfully, "Tomorrow I will ask my mother what her birthday is."

She doesn't remember.

To be precise, I don't know. She couldn't memorize the ancient method of recording the year, month, and day on four pillars.

Satisfied, Yan Yang started eating hot and sour noodles and finished three large bowls.

The next day.

Empress Dowager Yan put down the pen she was writing on the paper: "Birth date?"

"Correct."

"Daughter, you were born in the Jiashen year, Bingyin month, Jiawu day..."

Mu Tingxue listened carefully, took out the blank golden rattan paper that she had prepared and wrote on it.

"What is it written about? It's mysterious."

"Geng Tie."

"Oh~~"

Empress Dowager Yan had an epiphany and smiled meaningfully, "Yan Yang wants to exchange it with you?"

"Correct."

"Then according to custom, you not only have to reply to him with a message in exchange for the horoscope year being the same as Geng, but you also need to give him a pair of shoes in return." Empress Dowager Yan smiled, "Before the Ai family got married, there happened to be a member of the natal family who married a brother. , when the two parties exchanged Geng Tie, the bride gave him a pair of new shoes made by herself."

Mu Tingxue blurted out: "Why shoes?"

The problem is huge.

A female majoring in medicine and engineering, who is not good at female prostitutes, it is really difficult for her to make shoes with every stitch.

"Shoes have the same pronunciation as harmonious, which means harmony will always be good."
