The nineteenth princess was very depressed and came to Zhu Xiaobao's cave to relax her heart, not to mention sitting on the observation deck and looking around, that feeling was really very comfortable, and it could really release the boredom in her heart!

"Xiaobao, how long are you going to be busy? The forage that King Ming wants is about to expire, and you said there is a way to deal with it! The nineteenth princess asked a little anxiously, there is no one else on the viewing platform now, just the nineteenth princess and Zhu Xiaobao, and of course Wu Yue.

"Well, don't worry, what I said will definitely be fulfilled, and when the time comes, not only will I be able to exempt this forage errand, but I will also be able to help you solve the food problem by the way!" Zhu Xiaobao said confidently.

"Well, if that's the case, that's great, now it's not going to be a big tax!" The nineteenth princess said a little depressed, it was the first time she and Xia Zixiu had quarreled, and the nineteenth princess was very unhappy. Xia Zixiu doesn't seem to be as capable as he imagined, and I really hope that he can turn the tide, but he always relies on the nineteenth princess to barely get through, and this time it seems to be the case again.

"Princess, don't worry, the Xia City Lord has no choice, who let him not have a wise trust like Xiaobao by his side?" Wu Yue comforted on the side, no matter how she listened to it, she was a little proud.

"Yueyue, you finally said something very objective and fair, can you consider marrying me next?" Zhu Xiaobao gave a thumbs up and said with great satisfaction.

"Get out! Who is going to marry you? I still have that request, leading troops to fight, and getting on horses to kill the enemy, can you? Wu Yue snorted disdainfully, but she also looked at Zhu Xiaobao, for fear that he would be unhappy.

"I can kill the enemy without getting on the horse! Do you believe it or not? Do you want to compare? Zhu Xiaobao raised his head and said.

"Whew! Just your archery? I really don't believe it, shouldn't someone tie someone to a tree and shoot you? Don't take out your opportunistic things! Stay behind me, I'm ...... will protect you! Although Wu Yue was a little disdainful, but in the end, she was getting more and more serious, Zhu Xiaobao didn't know any martial arts at all, she was really worried, the last time she faced Gao Tiehua, it had already made Wu Yue very annoyed, if something happened to Zhu Xiaobao, she really didn't know what to do.

"Alright, say something glad! The 150,000 pieces of toilet paper I gave to the seventh sister have been sold out, and the seventh sister has already sent 1,500 taels of silver this time! The seventh sister also attached a letter, asking us to raise the price to three taels of silver and a knife. She sells it for five taels of silver a knife. The nineteenth princess said with a little joy.

"Huh? These seven princesses are ruthless, and they have multiplied five times all at once? Doesn't she earn a lot more than you? Zhu Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, there was nothing that he couldn't do, only that he couldn't imagine that the seventh princess really dared to make a bid!

"Hmmm! Her fiefdom is very prosperous, and there are many rich people, of course, she is not worried about sales! Xiaobao: Next, you really want to increase your production! The nineteenth princess said with some fascination, when will she be like the seventh sister, have her own fief, and it is still a very prosperous fief.

"Hey, hey! That's why the princess came to me, right? Zhu Xiaobao suddenly understood, where did the nineteenth princess come to relax, but to add tasks to herself!

"You're smart! Alright, I should go too, anyway, you can settle my business as soon as possible! The nineteenth princess's face turned slightly red, and she said angrily.

"Yes! Then I ask the princess to help me solve my matter as soon as possible! Zhu Xiaobao bent over, still smiling.

"What's the matter?" The Nineteenth Princess asked in surprise.

"Who do I want?" I don't have anyone here yet! Zhu Xiaobao's expression was even more exaggerated.

"Humph! Didn't I ask Wu Yue to help you choose! In this way, didn't you just test your archery skills with Wu Yue? In this way, you can win Wu Yue, you can choose who you want! If you can't win Wu Yue, hehe, then I'll arrange the guards, you can rest assured! What do you think? Is it fair? The princess of the city bureau said with a sly smile, in fact, she really didn't want Zhu Xiaobao to have her own people, but wanted her to arrange the guards and change them after a while, in this case, it would be equivalent to her own people.

"Huh? Specific range or accuracy? Seems like I'm losing more than anything else? When Zhu Xiaobao heard this, his eyes rolled and he asked.

"It's up to you! Of course, it won't let you suffer, when the time comes, whatever you compare, you will be given a few points, the range will make you fifty steps, accurate, three arrows out of ten arrows! The princess said fairly.

"Alright! Deal! Yueyue, will you have to let me do then? After all, the two of us are probably a family! Zhu Xiaobao looked at Wu Yue and said.

"Humph! Don't think about cheating, I know Wu Yue's archery skills better than you, and I can also do it myself! The nineteenth princess turned around and left calmly, she didn't worry about archery, she was an absolute archery master!

Watching the Nineteenth Princess and Wu Yue gradually move away, Zhu Xiaobao smiled wickedly and muttered to himself: "Shoot far and accurately, that's a must!" I'm a real man! It's a little shorter though! ”

……

At this time, the red sorghum that was sealed in the barrel some time ago has already fermented! Tong Wuxin is leading people to lift the barrels one by one. It was sent to the large processing workshop in the south of the blessed land, where Zhu Xiaobao had already processed some necessary equipment, mainly for distillation. In fact, the reason why liquor has a high degree is because it is distilled to increase the concentration of alcohol. After cooling, what you get is liquor!

Tong Wuxin sent the four old men to help Zhu Xiaobao, and there were Tong Wuxin and Jumei, and the other Zhu Xiaobao was useless for the time being.

There is a large pot on each of the oversized earthen stoves, and the water at the bottom of the pot is made from the water in the cave, which is very good, not hot spring water, but seeps out from the top of the mountain along the cracks in the rocks, and it can be said that it is an excellent quality for sake brewing.

Spread a layer of steamed coarse bran on the compartment, and sprinkle a part of the steamed coarse bran in the fermented grain, so that the distillery is loose, which is convenient for steam circulation during distillation and improves the distillation efficiency. Sprinkle the fermented fermented grain evenly on the compartment, so that it is light, loose, even, thin, accurate, can't, pressed, after finishing, cover the lid of the distiller, fill the water seal tank with water, and start distillation.

The distilled liquor is to use the boiling point of alcohol and water is different, the boiling point of alcohol is low, as long as the temperature is controlled, and after the vaporized alcohol is cooled by cooling water, it will be reduced to liquor, which is a distilled spirit with a high degree.

Control the flow of cooling water to ensure that the temperature of the wine is 20-25 °C, if the wine temperature is too high, the wine will volatilize and the output will be reduced; The temperature of the wine is too low, and the low boiling point substances cannot be volatile, and the quality is poor.

During the whole process, Zhu Xiaobao's face was full of nervousness, he only had theoretical knowledge, and it was the first time to say that it was practice. But Zhu Xiaobao has an advantage, when he was studying, he saw the process of homemade liquor at a relative's house, but he didn't expect it to play a very key role here.

Tong Wuxin and several family members next to him were also a little nervous, they didn't understand the purpose of Zhu Xiaobao's this, and they had never seen this kind of distillation equipment, but gradually a smell of wine that had never smelled before began to permeate the processing workshop.

The 'water' began to drip from the outlet of the distillation equipment, but it was a little mixed and there were some impurities. Zhu Xiaobao knew that this was the first wine, which contained harmful substances such as formaldehyde, and was generally discarded!

But I didn't expect Jumei next to her to take it and drink it, and while drinking, she still shouted: "This is delicious!" ”

"You leave me alone! Who told you to drink? Zhu Xiaobao was suddenly in a hurry, quickly snatched the wine jar, and scolded loudly.

"Can't you drink it? I smell good! Tong Wuxin also wanted to taste it, but she was not as reckless as Jumei.

"It's a head wine, it smells evil and it's harmful! So can't drink! Zhu Xiaobao explained. After a while, the outflow became crystal clear and full of aroma, which was the kind of liquor he needed.

"Yikes! It's so much better than the last time I brought it back! Tong Wuxin couldn't help but taste it and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, your wine tastes bad, I guess it's because the temperature control is wrong when he distills, the temperature is too low, so the wine that comes out has a lot of impurities and a bad taste, and his distillation equipment and processing process must also have problems!" Zhu Xiaobao also tasted it himself, but he felt average, that is, the degree was relatively high, and it should be more than fifty degrees. The entrance is dry and hot, like a fire, but it has the characteristics of burning knives. But it's definitely not up to the standard of a good wine.

But for the first time, if you can reach this level, Zhu Xiaobao is already satisfied! Hurry up and Du Ping and seal the altar together. 3,000 catties of sorghum, removing the head wine and tail wine, a total of more than 1,300 catties of liquor was obtained. The wine jars he used were all two catties each, so he used up six hundred and eighty small wine jars.

When Zhu Xiaobao was done, they found that Jumei was already drunk there, with saliva in her mouth and a small wine jar in her hand. Just kidding, two catties of liquor in more than 50 degrees, of course, can't bear it! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head helplessly, feeling that he had made a big mistake by leaving Jumei behind!

"Someone! Go and invite the princess, and say that my little treasures invite her to drink, and I have solved her affairs! Zhu Xiaobao waved his hand and shouted.

However, no one responded, Ying Xiuxiu and the three of them were busy processing toilet paper! There is now a subordinate Jumei beside him, and he is still drunk, which makes Zhu Xiaobao very depressed, and he kicked Jumei in a huff, and then ran out of the workshop.

"Little treasure! What's the matter, what kind of wine is this, so fragrant? Wu Lijia, who followed the aroma of wine, appeared in front of him. She is a good drinker, so when she smells this tempting aroma, she can't help but look for it. It was like the kind of smell she'd been looking for.

"Come on! Sister, burn the knife and taste it! Beware of getting drunk! Zhu Xiaobao handed over a small wine jar and said.

Wu Lijia almost laughed out loud, such a small wine jar is really rare! And Zhu Xiaobao also reminded herself not to get drunk, so it made her very funny.

But when she uncorked the bottle, a strong feeling immediately made her excited, and she took a big sip, feeling hot from top to bottom, but she felt very strong, and couldn't help but want to take a second sip: "Good wine!" It's a very strong sake! Where did this wine come from? Buy me a hundred jars! ”
