The story of Yidi wine making

The story of Yidi making wine is as follows: There are many records in history books about Yidi "making beautiful wine" and "beginning to make wine mash". It is said that he is the originator of wine making.

Yidi was an official in charge of wine making during the Xia Yu era. According to legend, he was the earliest winemaker in my country and a descendant of Yu Shun. There are mentions of Yidi making wine in pre-Qin classics such as Lu Buwei's "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" and Liu Xiang's "Warring States Policy". record.

Dayu got the throne because of his meritorious service in controlling floods, but the state affairs were heavy and he was very tired. The pressure made him unable to eat and sleep. Yu's daughter asked Yi Di, who served Yu's meals, to find a way.

One day, Yi Di went hunting in the mountains, hoping to catch delicacies from the mountains and seas and cook delicious dishes for Dayu. He accidentally discovered a monkey eating a pool of fermented juice.

The monkey became drunk after drinking, with an intoxicated look on his face. This behavior attracted Yidi's attention, and he also wanted to try it.

It didn't matter if he didn't taste it. After the juice fell into his stomach, he felt his whole body warm, and his meridians became active. He exclaimed: "This juice makes people forget their worries and sleep comfortably. It's the holy water of gods!" Dayu's condition has not improved.

Seeing that things were getting better, King Yu felt guilty because he had no intention of dealing with state affairs. At this time, the flooding made him even more irritable and restless.

Yi Di suddenly remembered that the last time the monkeys drank the juice in the forest, he went up the mountain to find it for King Yu to drink. Yu was deeply attracted by the sweet and rich taste. He had a great appetite and regained his strength. King Yu led his men to fight.

Because King Yu affirmed his wine-making skills, Yidi concentrated on studying the production. With the help of Jingwei, Da Taiji and Dalong, he finally completed the first wine-making. Everyone competed to take the first sip.

In the end, everyone unanimously praised Yidi for being the first to drink. Yidi took a sip under the eyes of everyone. He almost spit it out after drinking, because the taste of this water was very different from the previous juice.

Later, after several improvements to the process, they finally produced the so-called "wine" that was delicious and delicious.

When Yu the Great came back from the expedition, Yi Di presented him with wine.

Dayu tasted the sweetness of drinking wine for the first time and repeatedly praised it.

The more he drank, the more energetic he became, one cup after another.

After drinking for a while, he felt dizzy and dizzy, as if the clouds were flying in the fog. He drank for a while, but he felt powerless, closed his eyes, and suddenly fell asleep.

When Dayu woke up, he said to his attendants: "I slept for most of the day. I won't go on patrol today!" The attendants said to Dayu: "My king, you didn't sleep for most of the day, but for two days."

Two nights! We are so scared when we see you awake!" Dayu was startled and said, "Go and summon Yi Di!" After Yi Di arrived and offered the gift, Dayu said quietly: "Don't do it again in the future!"

This thing!" When Yi Di heard this, he scratched his head, puzzled, and asked: "Everyone said it was good for the wine I made, and you said it was good when you drank it, so why didn't you make it again?

?" Dayu said: "I'm not saying that the wine you made is not good, but it's because it's too good! The better the wine, the more people drink it, and it will make people addicted.

I couldn't help myself. The first time I drank, I slept for two days and two nights, which delayed many political affairs. "So I can't help but drink. If I don't stop drinking, the people will become bad and the country will be destroyed. But this kind of addictive thing may be difficult to do in the future."

Forbidden, I don’t know how many people will ruin the country because of drinking!” From now on, Dayu alienated Yi Di and no longer trusted or reused him. Dayu’s words have been repeatedly proven by history.

Examples abound, and alcohol is one of the triggers.

In fact, making wine from grain is a complicated process that cannot be completed by oneself.

No matter how talented Yi Di was, it seemed impossible to invent wine making first.

He should be a craftsman who summed up the experience of others, perfected the brewing method, and finally brewed mash with excellent texture.
