The first is to make a distiller, which is necessary to process traditionally brewed wine into distilled liquor.

The second is manual.

The third is food.

As far as Luther knew, the food and wine workers in Pompeii were both slightly insufficient. If distilled liquor was to be produced on a large scale, it would be necessary to import food and train workers.

After thinking about it, Luther proposed a price. This price was not large, much less than the money to buy the Bass cattle, so Mrs. Sophie agreed immediately.

After Luther obtained the funds, he did not rush to the winery.

Luther first visited Old Bob, the blacksmith who dreamed of becoming a farmer. Luther also brought drawings of the distiller.

Old Bob was very happy to see Luther. He quickly handed over the business of the blacksmith shop to his son and then hosted Luther in the house at the back.

This time old Bob's wife was also there. She was a plump, dark-skinned woman who looked like an ordinary farm lady.

Old Bob's wife prepared some water and some biscuits to entertain Luther.

Luther took a sip of water without eating the biscuits, then took out a blueprint and handed it to Old Bob. Old Bob was very excited when he saw it, rubbed his hands and took it, and asked: "Master Luther, is this another farming artifact?"

As a blacksmith with dreams, Old Bob is extremely persistent in becoming an agricultural worker. The last time Luther brought the drawing of the plow, Old Bob was still very excited.

He thought Luther had invented a new farming tool.

"This has nothing to do with agriculture. I have other uses for it. How can I make it?" Luther shook his head and asked.

When Bob heard that it was not an agricultural artifact, he was a little disappointed. But he was still very serious about what Luther had told him. He took a look at the blueprint and said, "It will take three days."

"Okay, I'll come and pick it up in three days." Luther stood up, said goodbye to the blacksmith Bob, and returned to the castle.

Three days later, Luther, along with Xuxua and a team of guards, took the still from Bob's blacksmith shop and headed to the winery.

Pompeii Territory consisted of a castle, ten settlements, and serfs. Pompeii's properties, blacksmith shops, and grocery stores were all near the castle, and wineries, wheat flour mills, and pastures were scattered around the territory.

The winery is located between Village No. 1 and Village No. 2, and is relatively close to the castle, so it was quickly reached.

The winery is not big and its scale is relatively simple. After all, it only produces beer for civilians. The person in charge of this place is Niu Jin, the son of old Furen.

A fat, white middle-aged man, his flesh trembled when he laughed and his eyes were almost invisible.

If nothing unexpected happens, after old Ferran resigns, the fat middle-aged man in front of him will be the next generation of steward of the Pompeii family.

As a steward who has served the Pompeii family for countless generations, Niu Jin's loyalty is unquestionable. But when Luther saw Niu Jin, he felt that he was looking at a Buddha.

This fat and white creature looks exactly like a Buddha.

In addition to Niu Jin, there are less than twenty employees in the winery, most of whom are apprentices, and there are only four or five real winemaking masters.

This is what Luther learned from Madame Sophie.

"Master Luther, why are you here?" When Niu Jin came to greet him, Luther had already entered the manor. He asked the workers to pull Luther and Xiuxiua's horse down to take care of them, and then asked.

Their family had served the Pompeii family for generations, so Niu Jin treated Luther with respect and loyalty, but not humility.

"I've thought of a way to brew new wine. Find a few skilled winemakers to help us brew it." Luther said to Niu Jin with a smile. Then he turned around and asked the guards to unload the distiller from the car.

However, Niu Jin then thought of Luther's agricultural development in the entire territory, and his eyes lit up again.

Pompeii was so small and relatively unremarkable that even a small incident could spread for a long time, such as a woman who stole a man.

It's big news.

Not to mention that Luther invented the plow, which revolutionized the way farmers plowed the fields.

So inexplicably, Niu Jin is very confident about Luther’s so-called new wine.

"Okay, I'll go find the winemaker and the apprentices right away. Just tell them what you want me to do." Niu Jin said enthusiastically, then turned around and went to gather people.

Soon, all the masters and apprentices in this small winery arrived.

Everyone was curious about what earth-shattering things this young master Luther could do. Like Niu Jin, they also knew that Luther invented the plow.

Luther had nothing much to say. This was not an army that needed to be mobilized.

This winery was the private property of the Pompeii family, and the masters and apprentices all worked for Pompeii. So there was nothing to say, Luther waved his hand and ordered to work.

The distiller didn't need any kind of space, it could be placed flat on the muddy ground. So the distiller was quickly built.

Soon after, Luther directed the workers to begin producing distilled liquor.

The so-called distilled liquor is actually very simple and there is no big secret. It is to take advantage of the different boiling points of liquor and water, and heat the original fermented liquid to a temperature between the boiling points of the two, so that the alcohol components and aromatic substances can be evaporated and collected.

All in all, it's pretty simple stuff.

However, Luther was a theorist before this and had never done it himself. Therefore, Luther spent three days, eating and sleeping in the winery during these three days, and could be said to have forgotten to eat and sleep.

Finally, Luther obtained distilled liquor.

Speaking of the so-called distilled liquor, it is actually still beer, with the flavor of beer, but the taste is more mellow.

The only change is that the alcohol content is very high.

After taking a bite, a hot sensation spreads from the throat to the stomach and then flows throughout the body.

In one word: awesome.

When the finished product came out, Luther took Xuxua, the guards, and a barrel of distilled liquor back to the castle.

I didn't say goodbye to Niu Jin because Niu Jin couldn't help but drink some more when the finished product came out and is now sleeping soundly.

Ha ha.

I can't drink much.

But then again, this wine is not suitable for people with poor alcohol tolerance.
