Sima Jing looked at Qin Yu with a coquettish expression.
At that moment, she felt her mouth watering and wished she could immediately gulp down three large cups.
The others around them were also constantly swallowing hard.
The aroma of this wine is absolutely wonderful!
Despite Sima Jing's alluring coquettish manner, Qin Yu still rejected her.
"No, this wine must be distilled a second time before it can be drunk. Otherwise, drinking it will cause severe headaches, or even paralysis and mental impairment."
Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Sima Jing, whose eyes were still glued to the wine, immediately took two steps back.
"This...this wine is poisoned?"
Sima Jing's voice trembled.
Qin Yu nodded, then shook his head.
"It's not about toxicity, but rather that after one distillation, certain substances are not separated out and need to be separated again to achieve complete purification."
Hearing this, Sima Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before long, the first distillation was completed.
After cleaning the distillation equipment, the group began the second distillation.
The aroma of the distilled spirit was even stronger than before.
When distillation was complete, less than a jar of liquor remained in the barrel.
Ten jars of fine wine were eventually reduced to one jar of distilled spirit, which is quite costly.
However, Qin Yu was not worried about the cost.
All he wanted to know now was whether this first distilled spirit in ancient times was a success or a failure.
"Your Majesty, may we drink now?"
Sima Jing swallowed hard, then looked at Qin Yu with curiosity.
"Okay, that's fine."
Seeing that there were no impurities in the wine barrel, Qin Yu nodded.
"Your Majesty, let this old servant test the poison for you and the Empress."
At this moment, Anfu volunteered.
Qin Yu wanted to say no, but Sima Jing urged him first.
"Okay, Anfu, you give it a try first."
Sima Jing still dared not take any risks, but now that someone had volunteered to test the poison, she was naturally happy to see it happen.
Anfu scooped up a cup and then drank it down in one gulp.
After downing a glass of wine, Anfu couldn't help but smack his lips, and then a look of amazement appeared on his face.
"Fine wine, truly an exceptional wine!"
Anfu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
This was the first time Qin Yu had ever seen the old eunuch so excited.
It seems that the impact of strong liquor on the ancients was indeed unimaginable.
"How are you, Anfu? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Sima Jing looked at An Fu with a worried expression.
She was already quite tempted by the wine, and seeing Anfu's expression of enjoyment, Sima Jing felt even more restless.
Anfu carefully examined his body and then shook his head.
"Your Majesty, apart from being slightly tipsy, this old servant feels fine. In fact, after drinking this wine, I feel warm all over."
Hearing Anfu's words, Sima Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bring wine for me and Consort Jing!"
Qin Yu immediately gave the order.
"yes."
Anfu immediately filled a wine pot and then poured a cup for Qin Yu and Sima Jing.
Sima Jing couldn't wait to take a sip.
However, as soon as the strong liquor went down her throat, Sima Jing's face scrunched up from the spiciness.
"Wow, this wine is delicious, but why is it so spicy, ugh!"
Sima Jing looked like she was experiencing both pain and pleasure.
Looking at her like this, Qin Yu was surprised to sense a rare sense of girlish innocence in her.
Qin Yu then took a sip as well.
"This is the taste!"
Qin Yu's face showed an expression of deep reminiscence.
He recalled the days he spent with his comrades.
Back then, after each mission, Qin Yu and his team would have a good drink together.
Although the alcohol content of the liquor I have now is not very high, its mellow and fragrant taste is already very close to that of modern liquor.
In the future, he only needs to improve the existing brewing process, and he will be able to easily make better distilled spirits with the improved brewed wine.
Unable to resist, the two quickly finished the pot of wine.
"Hiccup, Your Majesty, fill it up again..."
At this moment, Sima Jing's face was flushed, and she kept waving the wine cup in her hand as she spoke.
"Your Majesty, perhaps we should return to the palace first, otherwise Consort Jing..."
Seeing that Sima Jing was completely drunk and had no regard for his manners, Anfu, who was standing to the side, quickly tried to persuade him.
Qin Yu nodded, and then addressed the crowd.
"You have made a contribution by producing distilled spirits. Each of you shall be rewarded with a cup of spirits and a hundred taels of silver. The rest shall be sent to the palace for me."
Hearing that each of them could have a cup, the eunuchs present became excited.
This is a wine that His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine both highly praise. For them to be able to drink a cup of it is like they've accumulated eight lifetimes of good karma.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The group of people knelt down to express their gratitude.
Qin Yu then stood up and walked towards the palace with Sima Jing in his arms.
After watching Qin Yu leave, An Fu did not immediately follow, but instead looked at the few eunuchs who were excitedly pouring wine.
"If any of you dare to utter a single word about this distilled spirit, we will never forgive you!"
Anfu's eyes turned gloomy, and everyone who saw him felt a chill run down their spine.
The group immediately knelt down.
"Please rest assured, Grandpa. We have all received great kindness from you, Grandpa, and we would never dare to reveal the slightest secret."
Seeing the group of eunuchs respectfully kowtowing, Anfu finally nodded.
"Alright, get up, everyone."
After they each received a cup of wine, Anfu poured the remaining wine into a jade pot and respectfully carried it to Qin Yu's bedroom.
"I want wine!"
Seeing Anfu bring over the wine, Sima Jing hurriedly urged him to hurry up.
Anfu put down the tray and immediately wanted to pour wine for the two of them.
"You may leave now. I will pour wine for my beloved concubine!"
Qin Yu waved his hand.
Anfu then hurriedly withdrew.
After Qin Yu poured the wine, Sima Jing didn't rush to drink it, but instead looked at Qin Yu with a dreamy gaze.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to feed you wine?"
Sima Jing's eyes were gentle and charming, seemingly gazing at Qin Yu with deep affection, yet also appearing to hold the allure of peach blossoms.
"OK!"
Under the influence of alcohol, Qin Yu's large hands began to roam restlessly over Sima Jing's body. How could he refuse Sima Jing's suggestion?
Sima Jing picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then kissed Qin Yu in one breath.
Her soft, sweet-smelling tongue, mixed with the wine, immediately invaded Qin Yu's mouth.
Qin Yu, not to be outdone, began to respond strongly.
Gradually, Sima Jing and Qin Yu wore less and less clothing, and the two of them moved from the table to the dragon bed.
"You tyrant, do you know that I came here today to test you, to see if you can help me defeat Sima Lie? Alas, why do I think a tyrant like you has such ability..."
Just as Qin Yu was about to take up his gun and go into battle, he heard Sima Jing muttering something to himself incoherently.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was taken aback.
Although he guessed that Sima Jing had ulterior motives for coming to see him today, he did not expect that Sima Jing's purpose would be so astonishing!
