The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Qu Zhishui looked at the glass of wine in front of him, the wine was clear and fragrant, even if he never liked drinking, he could tell that it was a good wine.

Could it be that this is a treasure somewhere, that the concubine specially invited him to taste it?But he is not good at drinking!But in order not to disobey Wang Hao's kindness, it's okay to have a small drink.

Tao Anran watched Doctor Qu drink it down without hesitation, but he didn't have time to stop him.Then I heard Dr. Qu's loud coughing. Not only was he coughing non-stop, but his face and eyes were also red.

Seeing this, he quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Doctor Qu, "Doctor Qu, drink some warm water and rinse your mouth."

Qu Zhishui quickly took the warm water and rinsed his mouth, "Thank you...Princess." After drinking two cups of warm water, Qu Zhishui managed to stop the desire to cough.It's just that his face still didn't come down for a while.

Tao Anran asked worriedly: "Doctor Qu, are you okay?"

Qu Zhishui waved her hand, "Princess, I'm fine. I just didn't expect this wine to be so spicy, and I accidentally choked my throat. It's much better now."

Seeing his natural expression, Tao Anran felt relieved.Then I heard Dr. Qu ask: "Princess, is this wine a treasure in the house? I am sorry that I don't have such a good taste. I really don't drink much on weekdays, so I wasted this good wine."

Tao Anran replied with a smile: "This wine is an ordinary knives burner, just refined. And I didn't ask you to come over to drink. Doctor Qu, do you think this wine can be disinfected?"

Qu Zhishui opened his eyes wide, "Disinfection?" This was the second time he heard this from the princess.It's just that I don't understand it.

Seeing this, Tao Anran explained: "It's alcohol, which can clean wounds. For example, if some wounds are disinfected with alcohol, they will not be easily infected again. But at present, the concentration of this wine is not enough, and it is estimated that it will have to be distilled again ."

Qu Zhishui didn't understand what he heard, but he seemed to understand the meaning.He asked: "What does the princess mean, this wine is not for drinking, but for cleaning the wound? And it can also inhibit the recurrence of the wound?"

Tao Anran nodded hastily, "Yes, that's what I meant. And it's not only used to clean wounds, but some medical instruments you usually use can also be wiped and soaked in alcohol to disinfect them."

Qu Zhishui became interested, and replied: "My silver needles and small knives? I usually clean them by roasting them on the candle after using them. This time I can try to wipe them with alcohol. As for the princess It is said that cleaning the wound will not recur, but it is difficult to find something to test at this time."

Tao Anran said without hesitation: "You can try catching a few mice."

Qu Zhishui couldn't believe it, "Princess, how can this mouse come to experiment. Not to mention that the mouse is extremely dirty, and it is easy to cause plague if you are not careful. Moreover, it is difficult to catch mice in this palace."

Then his eyes lit up, "Hearing what the princess said, it reminds me that I can catch a few rabbits for experimentation. And this rabbit is much easier to catch."

Tao Anran nodded hastily, a rabbit would do without a mouse.He hurriedly handed the jar of wine to Dr. Qu, "Then ask Dr. Qu to test it carefully, and leave this jar of wine to Dr. Qu to see if it works."

Qu Zhishui hugged the jar of wine and said with a smile: "I will observe carefully and live up to the princess's trust. And if this wine really has such an effect, that would be a great thing. But I didn't expect the princess to be able to heal. "

Tao Anran said modestly: "I just know a little superficial." That's because at a certain period, almost every household stockpiled alcohol, so he only knew a little knowledge about alcohol disinfection.

Qu Zhishui got up and said goodbye with the clay pot in his arms, he was going back to try it out in a hurry.

Tao Anran saw that Doctor Qu looked normal, but walked a little shaky, and quickly asked someone to take Doctor Qu back.He guessed that the doctor was not able to drink well, so it was better than pouring a glass.

After seeing off Doctor Qu, Tao Anran continued to watch the distilled alcohol.It's just that after all the twenty catties of burnt knives have been distilled, there is only nearly ten catties of high-grade wine.After distilling again, only four catties of alcohol remained.The alcohol yield is only 20.00%, which is too low.

However, there was no other way. When the original wine was brewed, there were too many impurities, which made the wine cloudy and low in alcohol content.When nature purifies alcohol from it, the yield is even lower.

For the four catties of alcohol, Tao Anran gave another two catties to Dr. Qu for experimentation.There are two catties of alcohol left, which can be kept for emergency use.If you accidentally scratch it, it can be used to disinfect the wound at that time.

It's just that Tao Anran didn't intend to just use this little alcohol for his own use, he wanted to purify more alcohol to help Xiao Jingyu.So the work of distilling alcohol cannot be stopped, but there is not so much alcohol in the mansion.

Tao Anran asked for a thousand catties of wine as soon as he opened his mouth, and there wasn't that much in the warehouse, so Steward Li hurried over to ask.

Butler Li bowed and saluted, and asked, "Does the princess need a thousand catties of burnt knife wine? But do you need it urgently? There is not so much wine in the warehouse now. If you need it, the old servant will send someone to go outside to buy it immediately."

Tao Anran nodded, "I probably need a thousand catties of wine at the moment, and I may need it later. There are not so many burning knives in the warehouse. If there is any other wine, I can use other wine."

Butler Li thought for a while and replied: "Princess, there are indeed some imperial wines in this storeroom, but the quantity is smaller. Burning knives are the most used in the mansion on weekdays, so there are more burning knives."

Tao Anran understands that no matter how good the imperial wine is, it is useless if the quantity is too small.He hurriedly said: "Then I will trouble Housekeeper Li to buy some burning knives, the more the better. If there is wine similar to this burning knives, buy some too. By the way, what is the price of this wine?"

Butler Li nodded again and again, and then replied: "Princess, this burning knife is a specialty of our Yunzhou. If we buy it for [-] yuan, the price will be doubled if we go to other places."

Tao Anran calculated in her heart that this catty of wine cost one hundred renminbi.This degree of burning knife is similar to that of beer, and the price is not cheap.

And he initially needs a thousand catties of wine, which will cost one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is 100 taels of silver.For an ordinary family of three, it can be considered a well-off family if it can spend three taels of silver a year.As for the wine bought with so much money, it is estimated that only two hundred catties of alcohol can be purified.

Tao Anran wants to support the wall, which is too expensive.He thought it would be a good idea to start a business and make some money.Who knows, I probably won't be able to buy many good wines with that money.

He quickly said: "Is there any wine that is cheaper than burning knives? The taste doesn't matter, as long as it's about the same, the important thing is that it's cheap."

Butler Li showed doubts, "Princess, there are some cheap wines in the restaurant, but they don't taste good, and the taste is as weak as water. Do you want this kind of wine?"

Tao Anran gritted her teeth, "I don't want the mild flavored wine. It's better to choose a wine with a stronger flavor and a reasonable price."

Butler Li nodded, ready to leave.Tao Anran thought of the expenses of the palace, and quickly called him to stop, "Housekeeper Li, I heard from the prince that all the money in the mansion's account has been used to supplement the army over the years, and the account is not rich at the moment. I want to buy this wine. And the follow-up will cost a lot, if you don't have enough money, just come to me."

Butler Li hurriedly replied, "The princess is too worried. It's just to buy some wine, and there is still some money in the cashier. And the prince has explained that we will do whatever the princess needs. Don't worry, we promise to deliver the wine to you as soon as possible." Come."

Now that Steward Li said so, Tao Anran nodded in agreement.Although he wanted to help, it would be better not to spend his own money.To be honest, if it really cost a lot of money, Tao Anran would be a little bit reluctant.After all, that money is the guarantee of his future life.

Butler Li is efficient in his work, and in less than a day, all the wine has arrived in Xueji Courtyard.In addition to burning knives, there are several other wines.Tao Anran tried them one by one, and compared the prices, and found that Shaodaozi and another kind of wine called Shouquan wine were the most cost-effective.

Among them, the taste of Shouquan wine is different from that of Shaodao. Compared with the pungentness of Shaodao, it is softer.However, the degrees of the two are similar, and the price is also similar, which is most suitable for the purification of alcohol.

However, other wines have too low a degree, and the yield of purified alcohol is lower.Some have a higher degree, but the price is almost doubled, which is really not worth it.

So Xueji Courtyard has been busy distilling and extracting alcohol these days.The yard is filled with the smell of wine all day long, and those who don’t know it think it’s a wine making workshop.

Tao Anran has been with the people in the yard for a long time, and she is used to the smell of wine.But there are some people who are fond of wine in the mansion, every time they pass by Xueji Courtyard, they can't wait to take a deep breath, as if they were drunk and dizzy after drinking fine wine.

Even taking Tao Anran to see Steward Li more often.When he wanted something, the person who came to deliver it was no longer the servant, but Butler Li delivered it himself.After coming, he was not in a hurry to leave, so he just stared at the wine.After doing this several times, how could Tao Anran still not understand his thoughts.

When Tao Anran offered to send a can of purified high-grade wine to Butler Li, Butler Li refused in every possible way, but kept his eyes on the wine can.

Tao Anran suppressed a smile and said, "Housekeeper Li, you should take it. You have worked hard these days, so let this wine be a reward."

Speaking of this, Butler Li has no reason to refuse.To refuse the master's reward is not to slap the master in the face.So he happily picked up his own wine, and had a sip when he was about to go back.He smells it every day, but his eyes have been hungry for a long time.

After so many days, Tao Anran obtained two hundred catties of alcohol after all the wine was distilled and purified.
