[Comprehensive martial arts] Princess she wants to build infrastructure

The task of [Incorporating Tsing Yi Building] has a total of [-] points in the account. Li Yu got the points and began to think carefully about how to use them.

The first is the soul-returning pill.

Although this thing is very expensive, one hundred points.But the advantage is that the effect is very good, as long as people are not dead, they can be saved.So she cautiously bought two and hid them in the item interface of the system.

Although she ordered the killing of many people, as a modern person who grew up under the red flag, her attitude towards human life must be different from that of the princes and nobles of this era. People around her, such as Yidianhong, Fu Hongxue, Lu Xiaojia, Zhan Zhao , Lu Xiaofeng... If something happens to them, she will definitely try her best to save them.

And then...she bought that scrapped Aladdin lamp.

Because it is a waste product, the price of this thing is one point.

Somehow, Li Yu felt that this thing should be useful to her, so she bought it.

The remaining points should be considered for the development of Yinzhou.

I'm ashamed to say that the Princess Mansion's own industry has just started, and it doesn't make much money at all.The money she spends now is extorted from Wanmatang, Dingjiazhuang and Huoxiu.

If she spends those wealth by herself, she really can't spend it in ten lifetimes.But if Yinzhou City is allowed to spend together, it seems a bit insufficient.

Yinzhou City resumed production in the first year. She invested a lot of subsidies in the early stage, but now the taxes collected are so small that it is impossible to make back the money.However, this investment is very meaningful. After the past few years, Yinzhou's agricultural production will be on the right track, and it will be easy at that time.

Because of this, Li Yu searched the system mall for a long time, and felt that the new crops should wait until the existing ones are turned into industries.

But she had a fit of selfishness, and spent ten points to buy peppers, and another ten points to buy grapes.

Back then, she was also an expert in the spicy food industry. Now that there is no chili food in the era, it is really uncomfortable. Since I have so many points, it is not a big deal to spend an extra five points for a luxury. .

As for grapes, in this era, grapes have already been cultivated in the Central Plains, but whether the varieties are good is another matter, it is better to just buy grape varieties cultivated by later generations.The system is really considerate. There are all kinds of varieties such as Hutai No. [-], Cabernet Sauvignon, and Kyoho. They are also put in a big gift bag, and they are all bought back with ten points.

Wine can be made next year!Li Yu thought happily.

Let's save the remaining points first, and it won't be too late to spend them after she thinks about Yinzhou's next development route.

Li Yu thought so, and turned off the system interface.

After Zhan Zhao came, all the affairs of the Princess Mansion became more orderly. He was reasonable, modest, and capable of working. Now everyone in the mansion respectfully calls him Master Zhan.

This taste is also very right, Li Yu expressed his satisfaction.

Since there was nothing she needed to do recently, Li Yu's energy turned to eating and drinking again.

Yinzhou has produced a lot of grain this year, so there will naturally be restaurants making wine. After she heard about it, she changed into casual clothes and went to visit it. By the way, she tasted the grain wine produced in previous years.

The taste is not bad.

The wine brewed in this era is traditional Chinese rice wine. The alcohol content of rice wine is not high, and it is a low-alcohol brewed wine.Since it was already autumn, Li Yu drank rice wine that had been warmed, which was soft and full-bodied.

But there seems to be no distilled alcohol in this era.

Distilled wine should be a new technology that appeared in the Yuan Dynasty. It was recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty.

but……

This seemed to give her another way to make money.

It is not difficult to make distilled wine. The raw material is to use the rice wine produced now, and use the still to get distilled wine with higher alcohol content.

It can also be called shochu, burning knives, etc., and even wine can be distilled to make grape brandy in the future.

The only problem is making the distiller.

What kind of stills people used in the Yuan Dynasty, this plum fish is really not clear.But it doesn't matter, as long as you understand the principle of distillation and build a double-tower distiller yourself, it shouldn't be difficult.

Just do it, Li Yu started drawing drawings when he returned to the office.

When doing basic chemical experiments before, of course I also came into contact with stills. Simple stills are generally composed of two parts, the heating part and the condensation part.In a general chemical laboratory, a flask is used for heating, and an alcohol lamp or a magnetic heater is connected underneath.

For the condensation part, three kinds of condenser tubes are generally used in the laboratory-straight condenser tube, spherical condenser tube and serpentine condenser tube.

The structure of the condenser pipe is generally double-layered inside and outside, with steam passing through the inner layer and condensed water passing through the outer layer.Theoretically, the longer the steam travels in the condensed water, the better the distillation will be.

As for the material, it is of course glass.

Li Yu doesn't know how far the glass technology has developed in this era, but anyway, it is definitely not up to the level where double-layer condensers can be made.

Then change the material. Contemporary whiskey stills are mostly made of copper, including pure copper and even bronze.

Let's go for cupronickel. Cupronickel has good corrosion resistance and is not easy to rust, which is the best. However, in order to prevent her from taking it for granted, Li Yu decided to try a few more materials. Anyway, she is a princess. Not bad for money.

After selecting the material, the next step is the design of the distiller body.

In fact, it is also simple. Make a copper vat underneath, and a double-layer copper pipe is connected to the lid. The inner layer of pipes is directly connected to the barrel for steam. The outer layer is not connected to the barrel, but wrapped inside. The outside of the pipe is used to pass condensed water to condense the wine vapor.

But this raises another question.

That is... how does the condensate go?

The pipes on the outside of the condensation pipe in the laboratory have two ports, each of which is connected to a rubber pipe, and the other end is connected to a faucet. Follow the rule of bottom in and top out. Turn on the faucet of the water inlet, and the condensed water will rush into the pipe. After doing one loop, come out through the outlet tube.

In this way, the circulation of condensed water can be guaranteed.

This condensed water must be circulated, because if it is not circulated, if there is always a puddle of water to cool down, according to the great second law of thermodynamics, the water will become hot...The condensation effect is not good.

So, how to loop it?

Get a plumbing tap out?

Li Yu started to turn the pen again unconsciously, and she didn't react until a few drops of ink splashed on her body, and put down the pen thoughtfully.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with it?

Every time ancient Rome built a city, it would build a very tall waterway for water diversion, but the cost of building the waterway was not generally high. Due to the cost, Li Yu did not choose this method when he started urban construction, but They chose to drill wells to provide domestic water.

But it is not difficult to make a faucet in the princess mansion.

In Istanbul in the 16th century, faucets appeared.Modern faucets are of course relatively high-end, but the faucets at the beginning were all spiral lifts.The faucets in the old houses of the 80s generally look like this.

It wasn't difficult to make it. Li Yu drew up the blueprint neatly and handed it over to the Research and Industry Department, asking Zhu Ting to make it first.

Zhu Ting really deserves to be a qualified tool maker. After seeing the drawings, he didn't ask any questions, and he just made them first, and the things he made were also very qualified. After Li Yu inspected them, he ordered people to arrange them in the mansion.

Now that the faucets and water pipes have been installed, Li Yu ordered the research and development department to get out the sink and put it outside the bathroom, and then put pig soap on the sink for people to wash their hands.This saves you from scooping up a ladle of water in a bucket to wash your hands.

By the way, Li Yu has long built many toilets in the mansion, all of which are squat toilets, and the sewage pipes are made of ceramic pipes, which directly lead to the biogas digesters in the mansion.

Li Yu was also very satisfied with getting a distiller, and unexpectedly getting a convenient faucet.

Closer to home.

Although Zhu Ting perfectly made the alembic that Li Yu wanted, he didn't know what it was for, so on the day when he delivered it, Zhu Ting asked Li Yu directly what it was for. use.

Li Yu only said: "Use it to make wine."

Brewing?

Everyone is dubious.

The wine these days is all fermented wine, that is, brewed with grain, koji and water. Even though everyone doesn't know much about this wine-making technology, they don't think this strange-shaped container can be used to make wine.

So I wanted to have a look.

Li Yu naturally had no choice but to respond.

She ordered people to buy raw wine on the street, and then poured all the wine into this large copper container.Set up a fire underneath and sear the bottom.

After a while, a transparent wine flowed drop by drop from the opening of the distillation tube.

Perhaps because the distillation pipe was not long enough, some wine vapor also came out of the pipe, and the whole room was filled with an intoxicating aroma of wine.

Due to the current wine-making technology, ordinary wine is yellow or brownish-yellow. No one has ever seen such a transparent, water-like wine liquid. When you smell it closely, you can smell a strong aroma of wine. .

The big vat of rice wine was steamed for about an hour or two, and finally it was almost distilled.Li Yu doesn't like to drink baijiu, so he only invites the onlookers to taste it at night.

At night, the wine distilled during the day had naturally cooled down, so Li Yu ordered people to put the wine into wine pots and share it with everyone.

Under the first grade, it is incredible.

This is just a simple distillation of wine, but in terms of alcohol content, it is much higher than the common rice wine at that time. After drinking a glass, I feel that even the esophagus is about to burn. Renzi was dizzy for a while.

After everyone drank it, they all stared wide-eyed, thinking that the strength of this wine is really great, and they don't know why the princess knows this method of making wine.

There is a curiosity hidden in everyone's heart, and among them, Zhu Ting's curiosity is the strongest.

He always regarded the princess as an old and understanding king. Now that he had a question, he asked it bluntly.

"May I ask the princess, why does this transparent wine flow out of the tube above after steaming the rice wine in the container? The taste is still so mellow?"

Li Yu smiled slightly and explained: "Wine and water are actually two different things. They just dissolve together and become the wine we see. I steamed the wine with high fire, and the wine was steamed into steam and escaped." When it came up, the water still remained at the bottom of the barrel, and the wine vapor ran to the upper part of the barrel and entered the copper pipe. I circulated cold water outside the copper pipe to condense the wine vapor into liquor again. In this way, the water remained at the bottom of the barrel, and The wine is separated, and the taste of the wine is naturally more mellow."

The boiling point of water is 78 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of alcohol is [-] degrees Celsius. Distillation makes use of the difference in boiling points.

For people in this era, of course, the concept of boiling point does not exist, so Li Yu didn't bother to explain it.

But Zhu Ting was still curious, and continued to ask: "May I ask Your Highness, why does the wine evaporate first after steaming the liquor? Instead of water?"

Li Yu could only ask: "Zhu Ting, is the firepower required for copper smelting and iron smelting the same? Is the firepower for smelting meteoric iron and hundred-fold steel the same?"

Zhu Ting didn't understand, so he said authentically: "Of course it's different."

Li Yudao: "Different substances require different firepower, and the same is true for liquids. Water and wine are different things, and naturally require different firepower."

With such an explanation, Zhu Ting immediately understood, and suddenly realized that he sat back and drank several glasses of distilled wine, his face flushed from drunk, and the proprietress grabbed his ears and pulled him back.

Li Yu was very happy.

Originally, I thought Zhu Ting was a genius in equipment manufacturing, but now it seems that he is curious about everything. In time, the Research Department of the Princess Mansion may have more branches such as the Chemistry Department and the Physics Department. Come.

Since it was feasible, Li Yu hastened to prepare a distillery. Rare things are more expensive. Such mellow baijiu must be able to sell for a good price.

And her old partner, Huajia, naturally agreed to be a distributor.

The preparation of this distillery took Li Yu a lot of effort.

Since we are going to make distilled alcohol, we might as well brew fermented alcohol as raw material.

The process of making koji and wine belongs to the Chaoyang Industrial Bioengineering of the 21st century. Although Li Yu did not come out of this major, but because he loves to read books, he still knows a lot about the development process of China's grain wine making.

In Yinzhou City, there are also a few small-scale breweries, which used to be dedicated to brewing wine for Wanmatang. Li Yu went to inspect it again in order to understand the current level of technological development.

As a result of this inspection, the process of making koji was improved.

She made red yeast rice.

The so-called red yeast rice is a kind of rice that has become red through fermentation.Red yeast rice can be used for wine making, cooking, and a natural coloring agent.

Because Li Yu has a thousand-year history as a hacker, he arranges things unambiguously.

"Use alum water to control the acidity, and add water in stages so that the inside of the rice will not be alcoholized."

Of course, she is not very clear about the specific operation, but these well-trained wine workers can sometimes figure it out by themselves just by ordering it.

As for the method of making red yeast rice, she also shared it generously, so that the restaurants in the city can use it casually, without worrying about her.

As a result, there are naturally a few more benevolent things about the princess to talk about in the city.

Just when Li Yu was busy with her wine making business, Lu Xiaofeng came back.

He came on horseback on a night full of cold dew, still wearing his radiant red cloak and brocade clothes, but his handsome face showed a bit of fatigue, as if he had already I haven't rested for several days.

Naturally, he was exhausted from the non-stop driving for the past few days.

After entering Yinzhou City, Lu Xiaofeng went straight to the Princess Mansion, hurried in without saying hello to the guard.

His destination was of course the main house where Li Yu was.

When he reached the door of the main house, he saw that the lights inside had gone out.Li Yu is easily tired and often goes to bed very early.

Lu Xiaofeng stood at the door, looking at the window, his eyes softened.

She should be asleep by now...

Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while, then walked away, returned to his room in the Princess Mansion, asked someone to boil water for him, changed his cold clothes, took a lazily shower, and then changed into new clothes. Clothes.

After doing all this, he jumped in from the princess' window like a flower picker.

Of course the princess was sleeping soundly, Lu Xiaofeng stared at her sleeping face for a while, then suddenly couldn't help smiling, and poked her cheek with his hand, but she didn't wake up.

Lu Xiaofeng very consciously got on the princess's bed, got into her bed, and then stretched out his hands to hug her.

After these movements, the princess finally woke up in a daze. As soon as she became conscious, she immediately realized that she had hands on her waist. She was startled, and immediately woke up. She opened her mouth to shout, but Lu Xiaofeng covered her mouth.

"It's me, little fish."

Lu Xiaofeng's deep voice carried some inaudible smiles.

The delicate body in his arms instantly softened, and Lu Xiaofeng felt complacent, so he gently wiped her lips with his fingers, he flinched, leaned his head between her necks, and took a deep breath. ——

That faint fragrance rushed into his body with the warmth of her body, and after not seeing him for several months, Lu Xiaofeng felt that he missed the smell of the princess very much.

Lu Xiaofeng said hoarsely: "Xiaoyu...I miss you so much."

The princess in her arms also smiled softly. After she laughed twice, she suddenly struggled and turned over, facing Lu Xiaofeng head to head, face to face.

Lu Xiaofeng's smiling eyes were shining brightly in this night, when he saw Li Yu turned his face, he prepared to kiss her without saying a word.

Then, he was slapped by Li Yu and squeezed out of the goldfish's mouth.

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Lu Xiaofeng kept his mouth open and shouted: "What is this for! Your concubine Lu Gui rushed back to look for you, and the princess is so cold! My God! I'm going to die!"

Li Yu sneered: "You scared me to death."

It was the first time Lu Xiaofeng heard the princess calling herself Lao Tzu, she stared blankly at her for a while, and then "sighed" after a while, slipped into Li Yu's arms, and said coquettishly, "You're vicious! You're so vicious! !"

Li Yu: "..."

Help! !WTF! ! !Scared my father to death! ! !

She had goose bumps all over her body, and was about to scold her, but Lu Xiaofeng laughed again.

His laughter this time is much more normal, Lu Xiaofeng is a man with a nice voice, so he smiled lowly in Li Yu's ear like this, and the warm breath breathed in her ear, making her feel that even her tailbone was shaking. numb.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Xiaoyu, I really missed you, so I touched you so late."

Of course Li Yu wasn't really angry, and even if he was a little bit angry, seeing Lu Xiaofeng's gentle eyes, that little bit of anger disappeared.

She made a gesture to twist Lu Xiaofeng's ear, but Lu Xiaofeng smiled and grabbed her hand, and put a soft kiss on the palm of her hand.

Li Yu didn't know what to say.

After a while, she said, "In that case, I'm going to sleep."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you should be sleeping long ago, so I'm going to sleep too."

Li Yu smiled and said, "As you like."

She was awakened in a dream, but now she fell into Lu Xiaofeng's arms, she was more relaxed, and after a while, she felt that her mind was wandering, and she was about to fall asleep again.

It's just that there was a rustling sound suddenly, and then a bunch of things were hung around his neck. The things were slightly cold, and Li Yu trembled a bit, and reached out to touch them.

It's a pearl necklace.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This is the best South Sea pearl in the Embroidered Thief's collection. I found a good craftsman and asked him to make a necklace for you."

Li Yu didn't even open his eyes, touched the string of pearl necklace, then touched Lu Xiaofeng's face, and said lazily, "Is it the most fashionable style?"

Although she is a practical person, she is also a fashionista. She doesn't like the old style.

There was a bit of a smile in Lu Xiaofeng's voice, and he only heard him say: "That's natural, I, Lu Xiaofeng, give things, of course I have to give the best things, old styles, even if you want to accept them, I'm ashamed to give them away .”

Li Yu hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "That's good..."

As soon as the words fell, she fell asleep.

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to hold her tighter, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Li Yu happened to have nothing to do, and Lu Xiaofeng came back again, so she asked Lu Xiaofeng to take her out for a walk. She hadn't been Lu Xiaofeng's flyer for a long time, and for a while, she still missed her a lot.

Lu Xiaofeng was naturally very happy.

When autumn came, he also specially asked Li Yu to wear more clothes so as not to get sick again, so he picked Li Yu up to the roof.

Only this time, they ran into an unexpected guest.

This uninvited guest is none other than Lu Xiaofeng's former confidante - Xue Bing, the eldest lady of Shenzhen Villa.

It is said that in order to find out the real face of the embroidering thief, Lu Xiaofeng took the piece of silk embroidered with gold-threaded peonies to Shenzhen Villa, but who knew that Xue Bing just happened to bet him.

Naturally, Lu Xiaofeng complained and ran away on the spot, but Xue Bing chased after him and insisted on pestering Lu Xiaofeng to investigate the case together. Later, he was captured by the embroidered thief and almost killed him. It was Lu Xiaofeng who found out the embroidered thief in time. The real identity saved Xue Bing's life.

It's just that Xue Bing was even more difficult to deal with. Lu Xiaofeng bluntly said that he already had a lover, but Xue Bing still didn't believe it and insisted on following Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to use a trick to slip away

Who knows that Xue Bing is a man of means, he got to know about Lu Xiaofeng's movements through some channels, so he arrived in Yinzhou.

As soon as he arrived in Yinzhou, before he even had a sip of hot tea, he saw Lu Xiaofeng flying past the roof with a woman in his arms.
