My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 55

[Chapter 55 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix]

The same time, a cool summer.

Fat Ball, who came back from buying a drink, told Jing Zhe what happened on the way, and finally added: “That guy is sneaky, and it’s not a good thing at first glance! I pretended not to know anything, and after he left, I followed him secretly and saw him entering the watermelon shop diagonally across the street!”

“Fat man is awesome!”

Jing Zhe gave him a thumbs up.

“He won’t find anything, right?”

“No!”

Fat Ball said with a proud look on his face: “That guy looks stupid and naive. He was fooled by me and didn’t say anything, and he thought he was smart!”

Jing Zhe I gave him a thumbs up again, thinking that Lin Tong had sent someone over to inquire about the news. He probably never dreamed that he would meet their actor.

It can be called a play within a play!

“According to your analysis, that person is trying to use our ice-making method?”

“Yes.”

Fat Ball was very confident about this, “Although he didn’t say it clearly, the meaning behind his words was too obvious. I He didn’t say die, and acted very hesitant on purpose. I guess they will have to give me money next time!”

Fat Ball was so impressed by the opponent’s tricks that he even guessed their next moves, which made Jing Zhe unable to bear it. Zhu gave him a thumbs up for the third time.

Fatty Ball was so impressed by Jing Zhe’s praise that he pulled his brother’s big face towards him: “Young village master, to tell you the truth, there are not many people in our family who are not smart! With two of my brothers here, one of them will help you manage the store. In business, I can help you take care of the trivial matters outside the store, so you can sit back and relax!”

“Awesome (broken voice)!”

Jing Zhe praised Fat Ball again and said emotionally: “I can’t believe it, such a small thing. The mountain can actually cultivate the two of you! It’s really a blessing for me to have Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks by my side at the same time!”

“Hehe, hehe…”

Fat Ball and Big Face laughed hand in hand, looking like fools.

Jing Zhe praised the two of them and then got down to business.

“If your analysis is correct, they will contact you tomorrow at the latest. Next, you will do this…”

…

After the lunch break, Jing Zhe asked Hanhan to send someone to find some iron pots, and then found Bring some vacuum bamboo tubes to the backyard.

The good thing about Hanhan and others is that even though they don’t know what Jing Zhe wants to do, they don’t talk nonsense and do what they are told immediately, which is extremely efficient.

The iron pot was quickly found. Under the guidance of Jing Zhe, after a busy afternoon, Hanhan and others set up a strange and winding device, and the hollow bamboo tube was finally connected to a I don’t know what the big empty jar is for.

Hanhan stared at this strange thing that he had never seen before, curious in his heart, and couldn’t help but ask: “Young village master, what is this?”

Jing Zhe smiled, “You will know later!”

Then he sent Hanhan and others guarded the four corners of the house to prevent outsiders from coming in or lying in the corners.

This thing is a simple alcohol distillation device.

The principle of alcohol distillation is very simple. It mainly relies on the fact that the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water. By heating, the alcohol turns into steam and volatilizes, and then condenses when it is cooled, and the purified alcohol is obtained.

Jing Zhe naturally understood such a simple principle.

The most critical part of the operation is to control the heating temperature, because if the temperature is too high, the alcohol and water will evaporate together, and the alcohol obtained after condensation will still be low-concentration alcohol, which will not achieve the purification effect.

The distillation device that Jing Zhe had people build was to first heat the water and use the water temperature to heat the purchased turbid wine, causing the alcohol vapor to re-condensate above and enter the bamboo tube. What flows out is the purified alcohol, or Talk about stronger spirits.

This method is not difficult, and it is easy to imitate if someone sees it. That’s why Jing Zhe sent Hanhan and others to show off, which shows that he attaches great importance to this distillation device.

In this era, there are no patents to apply for, so confidentiality is a top priority.

………

After preparations were completed, Jing Zhe poured in all the ten kilograms of turbid wine that Pangqiu had just bought, and then began to heat it. As drops of wine flowed out of the hollow bamboo tube, gradually, the backyard began to fill with rich aroma. The aroma of wine.

When the flow of the wine from the bamboo tube became extremely slow, Jing Zhe knew that the turbid wine was almost distilled, so he took out a small ladle and filled the jar with a little wine, put it in his mouth and tasted it. His brows stretched, and then he burst into laughter.

This strong drink was finally made by him!

Although due to the poor equipment, this strong liquor is only 40 or 50 degrees, but in this era, for those who usually only drink 10 to 20 degrees of turbid liquor, this is a proper strong liquor!

If it is sold, it will definitely have a price but no market!

But he didn’t make spirits with the intention of selling them, but for other purposes.

Jing Zhe looked at the jar and saw that it weighed about three or four kilograms. In other words, this alcohol distillation device could get less than half of the spirit each time.

Although the amount seems a little small, at least the degree is high!

Fill the jar with all the strong wine and pour it into the jar that originally contained the turbid wine. Only two jars of the two-pound wine jar were filled.

Jing Zhe walked around the backyard, but still felt uneasy, so he dismantled the distillation device.

At this time, Fat Ball and Hanhan came over smelling the aroma of wine.

When he saw that three of the five jars of turbid wine he had just bought had reached the bottom, Fatty Ball was surprised and surprised: “Young village leader, where is the wine?”

Jing Zhe pointed at the two jars of strong wine, “Over there!”

“But these are only two jars…”

Fatty Ball walked over and before he finished speaking, he discovered that there was no difference between the two jars of wine. Bending down, the strong aroma of wine rushed into the nostrils, making people intoxicated.

“Is this one?”

“Try it!”

So Fat Ball picked up a jar, raised his head and drank.

“Good wine! So strong!”

Hanhan felt itchy after hearing this. He grabbed his wine jar and took a sip, shouting: “Good wine!”

Then he asked: “Young village leader, what is this?

“Strong liquor!”

“

Strong liquor?”

the two said in unison.

They had only heard of those foreign countries that lived in barbaric lands. They had been sleeping outdoors for many years and nomadic on the grasslands, so the wine they drank was a little stronger than them, but only a little.

And the liquor with the highest alcohol content is said to be only available to the royal family of Fan Bang. This shows how precious this high-strength liquor is, but where does the liquor in front of you come from?

The eyes he looked at Jing Zhe were full of doubts.

“I made this strong liquor just now – I used the ten kilograms of strong liquor that Fatty bought. The yield of this strong liquor is not high, and in the end, the ten kilograms of strong liquor can only outgrow these two jars of strong liquor.”

The two heard this .

, and his mouth opened in shock at the same time.

The young village leader is really powerful!

Is there anything he can’t do?
