The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Even though we are leaving, we still have to have breakfast together before leaving.

Now Xiao Jingyu's health is much better, and his diet doesn't have to be too light.For breakfast, pancakes and noodles in broth are served for two.

While eating, Tao Anran thought about whether he should help pack up and bring something to the barracks, but he didn't know what to bring.Xiao Jingyu had been living in the barracks before, and everything he needed was prepared.

After absent-mindedly eating breakfast, Tao Anran watched Xiao Jingyu get dressed and was about to leave.He unconsciously followed a few steps, seeing Xiao Jingyu looking back at him, he didn't know what to say.On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and he still doesn't know what will happen to him!

Seeing the obvious reluctance and loneliness on Wang Hao's face, Xiao Jingyu's heart was touched again.He thought for a while and said: "If the princess has free time on weekdays, why not write the story behind the travel book. The king is very curious about what will happen to the monkey later?"

Tao Anran blinked, did you mean Journey to the West?Mingming had no expression on his face when he first watched it, so he thought he didn't like this story?I didn't expect to come to remind me before I left.

Tao Anran said with a smile: "There are many things that will happen after that monkey. The story is still very long, and I have to write it out slowly. The prince must remember to come back and have a look."

Xiao Jingyu finally saw the smile on Wang Hao's face, and he replied: "The king will be back soon. Wang Hao remember to write a longer story."

After speaking, he opened the door and went out.

Tao Anran hurriedly followed behind, and said while walking: "My lord, you are in good health, be careful when you are outside!"

Listening to the instructions, Xiao Jingyu turned around again, "Understood, I will pay attention. Go back to the house quickly, and be careful not to catch the wind and cold."

After Xiao Jingyu finished speaking, he strode away and didn't look back this time.Even though he knew his princess was watching him from behind.

In the past, he could always see the situation of those men who were dragged by their family members before leaving home.He always felt a little emotional when he saw it. He was in the royal family, and these ordinary things were difficult for him to happen.

But now it's different, he has his own princess.The concubine treats him like an ordinary person, and cares about his suffering from taking medicine and whether his body hurts or not.When he went out, he even asked him with a face full of reluctance, for fear that he would get hurt again.

Xiao Jingyu has been used to many things by himself over the years, and he has confidants, but no one can stand with him at dusk.Until now, he has a princess, and he can finally ask people how warm the porridge is.

Xiao Jingyu didn't know that at this moment, his brows and eyes became rare tender.

Tao Anran still entered the room after watching Xiao Jingyu's back disappear without a trace.It's just that the room that felt warm at first felt much empty after one person was missing.

Lying on the kang again, Tao Anran looked at the position where Xiao Jingyu was lying before, and there were his remaining pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table over there.Excellent Langhao brush, Hui ink, Xuan paper and She inkstone.It's just that there is an out of place quill in it.

It was specially used by Tao Anran for Xiao Jingyu to try, but Xiao Jingyu tentatively wrote a few words and put it down.Xiao Jingyu has written cursive script for many years, but is still more accustomed to using a brush.

After a while, he unconsciously sighed.

Maybe even he himself didn't know how sad he was.

Tao Anran was lying on the kang in a large shape, thinking that now he could control the big kang by himself again.You don't have to worry about rolling over and crushing someone's wound when you sleep at night.

Just thinking about it, I was a little worried about Xiao Jingyu's wound.Although most of the wounds are almost healed, some serious wounds are still wrapped in gauze.In case of strenuous exercise, will the wound burst and recur?

"Alas!" Thinking of this, Tao Anran sighed again.

His eyes fell on the rice paper on the table, and he got up silently after a while.When he came to the table, he decisively skipped the brush and picked up the quill.

Tao Anran remembered an experiment done by a blogger he had seen before, about distillation, extraction and condensation.He drew a rough sketch, checked for gaps and made up for omissions, and came up with a schematic diagram that looked successful.

As for why it seems to be successful, because everything will not be known until it is actually practiced.

Tao Anran summoned Bai Lu and Han Lu, and asked, "Is there a pipe in the mansion, the kind of thin, hollow pipe? It's about three or four feet long."

Both of them looked puzzled, but Bai Lu quickly reacted and asked, "Princess, there doesn't seem to be any hollow pipes in the mansion, but if you cut some slender bamboo and remove the knots, aren't they just hollow pipes?"

Tao Anran's eyes brightened, "Yes, that's fine too. But is the weather convenient for cutting bamboo now? Is the place far away?"

Han Lu hurriedly continued: "Princess, don't worry, there were a few bamboos planted in the front yard, but you didn't notice, the size is just right now."

Tao Anran nodded, "It turns out that there is one in the front yard, which is convenient. Later, you can ask someone to cut a few suitable bamboos, remove the knots, and bring them back to the yard. Then there is the wine that is usually kept in the mansion. Is there a lot?"

Bai Lu and Han Lu looked puzzled, did the princess want to drink?But the concubine doesn't drink at all on weekdays, because the prince just left and wants to drink away his worries?

Tao Anran seemed to understand their doubts, and quickly explained: "I'm not for drinking, but useful. I guess there should be wine in the mansion, but I probably want a lot of wine. I don't know if there is any in the mansion." ?"

Bai Lu asked curiously, "How much wine does the princess want?"

Tao Anran frowned and thought for a moment and replied: "At the beginning, I will try with twenty catties of wine. If it succeeds, it will probably cost hundreds or even thousands of catties of wine in the future."

Han Lu took a breath, and quickly replied: "Princess, we need so much wine, we have to tell Steward Li first. And there may not be so much wine in the warehouse."

Tao Anran frowned, "If that's the case, let's talk to Butler Li, this time, go get a twenty catties of wine first."

The two should be, and then each ordered to go on.

Not long after, everything Tao Anran needed was ready.Twenty catties of wine, a long and thin bamboo tube, and a clean clay pot.

Because of the kang, there is always a stove outside the room. While heating the kang, it is often used to burn some hot water for drinking.That's when it comes in handy.

Pour some wine liquid into a clean pot and cover the pot.Only then did Tao Anran realize that he forgot to drill a hole for the lid of the pot.Otherwise, how would the heat come out?So before the fire was turned on, someone quickly made a hole in the lid of the pot.

The pot cover is made of straw rattan and has a raised shape.It's not that hard to make a hole in the middle.It's just that the hole shouldn't be too big, it should be the same as the mouth of the thin bamboo tube.

After the hole is made, insert the bamboo tube directly, and then use some batter to cover the gap between the two.The other end of the bamboo tube was stretched out of the door and put down in a clean clay pot.

After everything seemed to be ready, Tao Anran ordered the fire to be started.Seeing this posture, Bai Lu and Han Lu felt as if they were cooking wine.However, although they didn't understand what the princess was doing, they knew that the princess had always had ideas, and there were surprises every time.It might be the same this time.

Now everything is running smoothly, and time will do the rest.Wait for the wine to boil to evaporate, because alcohol and water have different boiling points, and collect the evaporated alcohol.It is introduced into the thin tube, and through the low-temperature condensation of the tube, the steam is re-liquefied into alcohol and flows into the clay pot.

Tao Anran calmly returned to the kang.As he waited, he wondered how much alcohol would come out, and the concentration of alcohol was unknown.

The wine brought from the storeroom is said to be a special product of the Northwest.Most people will have a burning sensation in their throat after drinking it, so it is called burning knife.While popular, it does not seem to be cheap.

When Tao Anran heard this name, he felt like liquor with high alcohol content.After he dipped the chopsticks a little and tried it, he realized that he was thinking too much.According to his experience, this yellowish wine is at most ten degrees, which is slightly better than beer.

Therefore, the degree of alcohol distilled from this wine is estimated not to be too high, and the output is unknown.

While Tao Anran was waiting, he was also a little anxious.After waiting for a while, he got down from the kang to have a look. Just at this time, liquid had already flowed into the clay pot through the pipe.It's just drizzling, which makes people anxious.

Tao Anran touched the pipe, and found that the temperature of the pipe had risen a little, so he quickly asked someone to get some snow to cover the pipe.It is probably because the hot air flow drives the temperature of the pipeline to rise.However, this condensation process requires a larger temperature difference.Fortunately, ice and snow can be seen everywhere in this winter, which is suitable for collecting materials from anywhere.

After seeing that the pot was half full, Tao Anran quickly took it away and replaced it with another pot to fill with alcohol.Tao Anran weighed the jar, and estimated it was about a catty.It smells like wine, which is obviously a bit stronger than the previous burnt knife.

Tao Anran gently poured a little into the wine glass, the color was light, tried it with chopsticks, only felt that it was higher than the burnt knife before.But he couldn't measure the exact degree.This can only be said to be high-concentration alcohol, not the alcohol in his impression, and it is not known whether it has the effect of disinfection.

Although a little melancholy, Tao Anran quickly thought that although he didn't know if it would be useful, he could try it out.Although he is not proficient in medical matters, isn't there professional talent in the mansion?And it's still a medical expert in this world!

Tao Anran quickly ordered: "Go and see if Dr. Qu is busy? If not, please come to Xueji Courtyard."

When Qu Zhishui arrived, Tao Anran took another catty of high-grade wine.When he saw someone coming, he quickly pulled him to the clay pot and poured him a glass of wine.

Qu Zhishui braved the severe cold and shrank into a ball to come to Xueji Courtyard. Although she didn't know why, the princess summoned her for something important.But this time, he smelled a smell of wine, as if someone knocked over the wine jar.Before he could figure it out, the princess poured him a glass of wine specially.

Qu Zhishui was puzzled, did the concubine specially invite him to drink?
