Song Wu went in and sat down, leaning against his sentry and shouting? Master, come and have a drink. ? I saw the shopkeeper put three bowls, a pair of chopsticks and a plate of hot food in front of Song Wu and sifted a bowl of wine. ? Cut out two Jin of cooked beef in the shop and make a big plate, which will be in front of Song Wu in the future; Then sieve a bowl of wine. Song Wu ate:? Good wine! ? Sift another bowl. ? Cudgel saw that Song Wu did not move at all, and screened three bowls. Song Wu ate:? Good wine! Master, I'll give you a bowl of wine after eating, and then sieve it out. ?
We know that wine is a liquid, so why use it? Screen? And then what?
Screen? There are many explanations for this word, one of which is directly related to wine, that is, pouring wine. The ancients always had the habit of drinking hot wine. Most of the ancient wines were? Rice wine? Or? Yellow wine? There are many impurities. If the wine is heated, impurities such as methanol can be volatilized, thus avoiding it. So screening wine extends to warm wine. Song Wu killed the tiger in 10. When he arrived in yanggu county, he was tired and thirsty. In this case, Song Wu couldn't wait to drink water to quench his thirst. It is reasonable to say that hot wine is not needed.
Screen? What is the word besides pouring wine and warming wine? Filter it out? Sieve residue? The meaning of. This is related to ancient wine. China has a long history of winemaking. At first, people directly ate wine and distiller's grains without separation, so wine was also called? Mashed potatoes? . This is the most natural form of mixing alcohol and fermented grains. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people gradually added new techniques to filter clearer drinks with bracts. Bud grass is a plant that can filter sake. Zuozhuan? Does Xi Gongsi include? If you don't have enough money, the king's sacrifice will not be * * *, and there is no way to shrink the wine. I am a soldier. ? You can feel the value of budding grass.
For a long time, the ancients used pressing to make wine. This method has two disadvantages: first, wine and distiller's grains can't be completely separated; Second, after the alcohol concentration of yeast reaches 20%, it is difficult to continue fermentation, resulting in low alcohol content, which generally does not exceed 18 degrees. Of course, we now see that this is extremely healthy. In the Yuan Dynasty, distillation technology was gradually applied to wine making, and distilled liquor began to appear on a large scale. Li Shizhen wrote in Compendium of Materia Medica? Soju is not an ancient method, but it was invented in the Yuan Dynasty. Use strong liquor and bad food to enter the retort. Evaporate air and absorb water droplets with containers. ? This is distillation technology. Compared with sake, the benefits of distilled liquor are also obvious. On the one hand, wine and distiller's grains can be separated to the maximum extent, and the wine liquid is clearer; On the other hand, yeast can continue to ferment, and the alcohol content can be higher and higher, even reaching 60 degrees.
The above is an overview of ancient wine-making in China. The story of Water Margin was written in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and Song Wu was also a Song Dynasty person. What should people drink at that time? Sake? . This kind of wine, wine and distiller's grains are not completely separated, and the degree is extremely low. Is it for the store? Screen? It is also a normal action. At the same time, this can also explain why Song Wu can continue to go on the road after drinking 18 bowls of wine continuously. After all, this wine is too low.
