Three Kingdoms

Wine culture was very popular among the upper class of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The origin of wine is said to be Du Kang and Yi Di. There are other things about Shen Nong and Shen Yuan, but one thing is the same. As a cultural phenomenon that has been closely related to literati from the beginning, wine can be said to have played a very important role in almost every historical period. The Eastern Han Dynasty Periods are no exception.

At the earliest time, Fei Qian thought about using wine to make a fortune, but unfortunately he found that distilled wine, that is, high-alcohol wine, had begun to appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Of course, this high degree was not the same as vodka and the like in later generations. There is no way to compare.

But this also abruptly cut off one of Fei Qian’s ways of making money!

What about the ancient time travel weapon that was said to be used to make paper and steam wine?

The cruel reality is that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper had already appeared. Although it cannot be compared with later generations, it can still be used. As for the method of bleaching paper, Fei Qian remembered a piece of lime, and then went to papermaking. When Fang saw it, he came back with tears streaming down his face...

Half of them are smoked, and the other half are already in use by others, and are still being improved...

The same goes for making wine. At first, Fei Qian was eager to develop a distillation method. However, when he went to Zuixianlou, the largest restaurant in Luoyang, his heart dropped when he saw it. From fruit wine to grain wine, as well as barbarian milk wine, There are also things like cypress wine, pepper wine, flower wine...

When Fei Qian saw that there was still highly distilled liquor, he heard from the shopkeeper that this liquor was very strong, so people who were not addicted to alcohol would not drink it. It was not popular among the nobles, and its sales volume was very small...

At that time, Fei Qian's burning desire to make a fortune was completely cool, and he even wanted to die - not all the guys who had traveled through time before were able to make paper and wine with the green dragon on their left and the white tiger on the right. A big killer, accumulated a lot of original capital and no one will care about it, how come I don’t eat meat, I don’t even have soup...

So Fei Qian no longer thought about these two items.

After all, the gentry were the most important consumer group during this period. Common people basically did not use paper and rarely drank alcohol. Paper may be slowly studied and evolved when conditions permit in the future, but at present, the nobles do not like or accept this high-alcohol alcohol at all, so who do they insist on selling it to?

Hu people? Hu people are good at wine, but they are not fools. They are so poor that they can only exchange cattle and sheep. But in the eyes of the Hu people, the value of cattle and sheep is almost equal to the value of the land in the eyes of the Han people. Occasionally, they can be luxurious. Yes, but if hundreds or thousands of cattle and sheep are exchanged for it - that person with a trick on his head will probably be annexed by others before he can exchange it...

The gentry of the Eastern Han Dynasty preferred to drink low-alcohol grain wine, and there were also classifications. The upper-level ones, glutinous rice wine; the middle-level ones, millet wine; the lower-level ones, corn wine.

Of course, there are also more high-end fruit wines. For example, Cao Cao likes to drink some wine...

Like today, when Liu Biao entertained Fei Qian, he brought out gold wine. Meicheng of the Western Han Dynasty mentioned in "Liu Fu": "The nobles offer mash of golden paste." This refers to this kind of wine.

Drinking will naturally be lively, and the more lively it is, the happier it will be. In addition, Liu Biao did listen to Fei Qian's words today. He feels that the direction of Jingxiang's territory is clearer and has more hope of success, so he is very interested. Not only did he invite Fei Qian also sent people to call other people, saying that he was treating Fei Qian as a blessing and congratulating Fei Qian on taking office.

Naturally, the first one to arrive was Pang Ji and Pang Ziling. Apparently, he learned about Fei Qian's appointment from his servants. As soon as they met, he congratulated Liu Biao and Fei Qian, making the atmosphere extremely harmonious...

Then came a military general named Wang Wei and Wang Weilian. He had a square face and a neat and beautiful mustache. After learning that Fei Qian was the newly appointed Biejia, he was a little surprised. However, he congratulated Liu Biao and Fei Qian in a formal manner and then sat aside.

Followed closely by Fu Xun and Fu Gongti.

When Fu Xun and Fu Gongti first came in, Fei Qian thought at a glance that another military general had arrived. He was tall, serious, and walked vigorously. However, upon closer inspection, he turned out to be dressed as a scribe. After listening to Liu Biao's introduction, it was completely confirmed that Fu Xun, who was serving as a bookkeeper, must be counted among the civil servants.

After all, Book Cao mainly deals with Qian Liang Books, and military generals generally can't do it.

When Fu Xun and Fu Gongti heard about Fei Qian's new appointment, they couldn't tell whether they were happy or angry on their serious faces. They just saw the courtesy and sat down at the table.

The next two people who came to the scene, Fei Qian, were more impressive. It was not that they had met them before, but they were at least more famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms than the others just now.

The military officer is Wenpin, Wen Zhongye, who is about eight feet tall, with big shoulders, round waist, and thick arms. You can tell at a glance that he is a brave man. He currently serves as a general.

The author is from Yibo, Yiboji. Fei Qian was very impressed when he saw Yi Ji for the first time. He originally thought Liu Biao was personable enough, but when he saw Yi Ji, he realized why Yi Ji was given the title of celebrity in many Three Kingdoms games in later generations. No matter what, it does make sense. Look at the gestures and gestures of this middle-aged mature man. He is full of charm. If he joins the film industry in future generations, he can definitely make all female creatures blush...

This Yiji is already of such a high standard, so what if Mizurou, who is said to be able to instantly kill anyone from eight to eighty years old, must be so magnificent...

The last to arrive were Captain Cai He and Zhizhong Deng Xi.

Cai Hemo and Fei Qian still have some impressions. As for Deng Xi, I really can’t remember what this character did...

Seeing that people were almost here, Liu Biao officially announced the start of the banquet and formally introduced Fei Qian, who had been promoted today, to everyone.

Fei Qian quickly greeted Liu Biao and his subordinates one by one.

While saluting, Fei Qian was thinking in his mind:

Pang Ji Pang Zi Ling, according to previous knowledge, although his surname is Pang, he does not seem to have a very close relationship with Pang Degong. He should be considered above the Kuai family, and he should be the pioneer for the Kuai family...

Wang Wei, I have no impression. The local Wang surname in Jingxiang does not seem to be a big one. He should be a foreign military commander...

Book Cao Fu Xun, judging from this position, should be considered relatively close to Liu Biao. Qian Liang, which company CEO first grasped not Qian Liang?

Wen Pin, Wen Zhongye, this is a native writer in Jingxiang, he should be a figure from the Jingbei area...

His native place is actually Shanyang. Isn't this the same place as Liu Biao? So this person can be considered one of Liu Biao's confidants? It should be about the same...

Needless to say, Cai He belongs to the Cai family, but it seems that Cai Mao hasn't come out yet. He may be of the same nature as Pang Ji and came to explore the way for the Cai family first...

Deng Xi, well, I have no impression at all. The official position of Zhizhong mainly deals with some documents, which is not a good basis for judging the tendency. I don’t know which side it should be...

So at present, it seems that the closest confidants to Liu Biao are Fu Xun and Yi Ji; the representatives of the Jingxiang faction, Pang Ji and Cai He of the Cai family of the Kuai family, and Wenpin of the Wen family; and Wang Wei and Deng Xi are probably considered They are civil and military officers and generals from outside...

Fei Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Everyone has factions, including Liu Biao. Just these few people can be divided into so many factions. It seems that I am not easy to get along with...
