Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 461 Distilled Wine Surprises Everyone
Everyone around fell silent, Qin Feng also laughed when he saw their appearance.

"Okay, I'm not reluctant to drink it for you, but these wines are really bad. I'll get you some good wine later, so you can try it."

"Is this wine bad? Even in the palace, the usual drink is not much better than this. Only on some important occasions will there be better wine to drink."

The little princess complained, which surprised A Liang and the soldiers.

"Miss Li, how do you know what kind of wine is in the palace?"

Ah Hao asked curiously. He only knew that the little princess's surname was Li, but he didn't know her identity. When he heard the little princess's words suddenly, he was naturally a little puzzled.

The little princess also realized her slip of the tongue at this moment, and quickly covered her mouth, showing an embarrassed expression: "Well...it's nothing..."

"I've told you, don't listen to the nonsense of the waiter in the wine shop, they know what a fart, do you really think what they said is true?"

Qin Feng hurriedly smoothed things over, and the little princess came back to her senses at this time: "Yes, yes, yes, I heard from the waiter in the wine shop. It seems that he lied to me. Next time I will definitely go find him." He's in trouble."

"Hahaha, Ms. Li is too naive. Those who sell wine must be boasting about their own things to death, aren't they?"

"That's right, Miss Li, don't listen to these people in the future. They probably don't even know where the palace is. How could they know what the wine in the palace looks like?"

Everyone around laughed, and Qin Feng was relieved.

He gave the little princess a vicious look, and the little princess stuck out her tongue, feeling a little guilty.

She is the princess of the Great Zhou, if it is leaked out, who knows what will happen?
Although Hu Yanxing, the princess of the barbarian tribe, is in Heixi City and is still serving as Ling Chong's follower, but the barbarian tribe is just a small place with less than 10 people, how can it be compared with Da Zhou?

The identities of the little princess and Hu Yanxing are naturally very different.

After this little episode passed, Qin Feng arranged for everyone to find a big pot, and made some changes on the pot.

It is said to be a transformation, but in fact it is to open a hole in the pot and add a bamboo tube.

If you want to extract ethanol, the best way is distillation. The so-called distillation method is because the boiling point of alcohol is about 73°C, while the boiling point of water is 100°C.

Because of the difference between these two points, as long as the water temperature is kept between 73°C and 100°C, the alcohol in the water can continue to evaporate, then re-liquefy in the pipeline, and flow into the prepared collection container.

The most critical part here is how to keep the temperature in a suitable range, but in this era, there is no thermometer, so this thing can only be mastered by feeling.

However, after some exploration, Qin Feng quickly mastered the trick.

Watching the flame in the stove gradually grow stronger, the water in the pot emit white smoke, and the bamboo tube on the cauldron gradually seep out of clear liquid, Qin Feng also understood that his goal had been achieved.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng's mood inevitably became much more excited.

However, this purification is not something that can be done once or twice, because the alcohol content is too low, so there will still be a lot of water involved in the distillation process.

The amount of wine coming out of the first pot was getting less and less, so Qin Feng scooped up some for himself. What was contained in this wooden barrel was not considered wine, and could only be called wine.

Although it has the taste of wine, when you drink it into your mouth, it is just water with a little wine taste. Qin Feng, who has drunk all kinds of wine in his previous life, can tell when he drinks it. The alcohol content here is less than [-] degrees. .

Of course, compared with the original wine, the alcohol concentration in it has been increased several times.

This made Qin Feng breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems that the method he chose this time did not make a mistake.

After the first success, Qin Feng continued to purify, which was a long and boring process.

In this way, when only 30 catties of the [-] catties of wine were left in the first vat, the liquid in the barrel already exuded a strong smell of wine.

The soldiers around were all surprised when they saw this scene.

"My lord, there is such a method in this world?"

They all stared wide-eyed, this was the first time they had seen wine obtained by distillation.

Seeing their excitement, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you all have a taste now."

As he spoke, he handed the scoop to the soldiers.

One of the soldiers took it casually without paying attention.

Although they all knew that drinking would make them drunk, but the alcohol they drank before was at most five degrees, and they would never have imagined that the barrel contained [-] degrees of spirits.

The first soldier took a full spoon without paying attention, and took a big gulp.

But as soon as he drank it, the expression on his face became extraordinarily weird.

How come it suddenly becomes so spicy after drinking wine that is no different from water?

But as soon as he took a bite, a scorching sensation spread upward from his stomach, making him feel much warmer all over.

Seeing this scene, other people around looked at it curiously.

"How about it?"

"Is this wine good?"

In the eyes of everyone around, the first soldier to drink handed over half of the remaining drink to others, and then he couldn't help howling: "Excellent!"

"Okay, none of you can only take a sip. If you drink too much, you should be drunk and miss the job."

Qin Feng solemnly reminded that the people around him naturally knew what would happen if they got drunk in the military camp.

They all shivered one after another, not daring to drink any more.

The original people also understood the seriousness of the matter at this time, even if Qin Feng asked them to drink, they did not dare to drink any more.

Qin Feng sealed the first barrel of wine he had distilled in a small jar, and on the other side, Ling Chong had already brought the soldiers back from Cangyun Ridge.

In one afternoon this afternoon, he had transported about a quarter of the pile of cinnabar ore back. At this speed, in another two days, all the cinnabar ore would be ready.

In other words, after Wan Kunming has prepared the saltpeter he needs, he can start making mercury fulminate.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng's heart is full of excitement.

After all, what man in the world doesn't like guns?
As the saying goes, the gun is fast beyond seven steps, but within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast.

Qin Feng felt his blood boil when he thought of the scene where he would one day hold a sand eagle in his hand and shoot down the opposing general in front of the two armies.
