Chapter 116: Making Alcohol (The Fifth Recommendation, Collection)
After this unexpected joy, Li Chengqian remembered the purpose of coming here today.
"Mo Lao, can you make this by looking at this?" As he spoke, Li Chengqian took out the drawings of the retort that he had drawn before.
"Your Highness, this is very simple, I just don't know what you want to use it for, of course, if it's inconvenient, then forget it" Mo Cheng took the drawing, read it carefully, handed the drawing to Sun Lou, and then looked at Li Chengqian and asked.
"There's nothing I can't say, I plan to use it to purify the wine......" Regarding Mo Cheng's question, Li Chengqian did not shy away from it.
directly told him what he was going to do, but at the beginning, Mo Cheng was still a little confused, after all, what kind of degree, water vapor or something, he hadn't understood it before, and in order to make Mo Cheng understand, Li Chengqian only had to talk to Mo Cheng about the unit of measurement, as well as the three forms of water, and when Li Chengqian said this, Sun Lou and they all stood over and listened carefully.
In the end, they each came up with a lot of derivative questions, what is the minimum temperature of what ice, under what conditions can it be reached, and so on.
In the face of the questions they raised, Li Chengqian didn't know anything, as a scumbag in his previous life, he knew how the minimum temperature of a ghost was formed, but as soon as he said a word here, there was another problem over there, and in the end, Li Chengqian's head was bigger.
In the end, there was really no way, Li Chengqian waved his hand after saying what he knew, aren't they all interested in these! Then give them money, get it yourself, of course it's good to get it, it doesn't matter if you can't make it, you should spend money on yourself to buy a quiet.
However, in the narration, Li Chengqian also discovered that these children of the Mo family, the things they are interested in, and the fanatical appearance, are simply the same as those scientists in the previous life, or they are the scientists of the current life, but because they are named as the children of the Mo family, plus the background of the big era, they have no place to play before, and now it is okay, when they meet Li Chengqian, they don't shine, and it is unreasonable.
In this way, Li Chengqian and these children of the Mo family discussed for nearly an hour in the heavy snow, and then reluctantly left in the sound of Li Chengqian's promise and Mo Cheng's reprimand.
After Li Chengqian walked around the workshop and the Academy of Sciences, he instructed Mo Cheng to finish what he wanted as soon as possible, and then left here in the snow.
In the next few days, Li Chengqian didn't do anything, just nested in the East Palace, the door did not go out, except for instructing Zhang Gao to find a few craftsmen who could make wine to stand by in the East Palace and prepare a large amount of food, he really never left his dormitory, even Xiao Yi'er and they came to him to go out to play, he did not go out.
This kind of days lasted until Mo Cheng and they got the rectifier right.
However, looking at the rectifier that Mo Cheng brought with them, Li Chengqian didn't look at it as he had painted it at the beginning, and asked Mo Cheng curiously, only to know that the one he painted could also steam the fermented lees out of the wine, but they found that the effectiveness was a little low, so they privately modified the drawings from the new design.
Not only is the new still more airtight, the capacity is larger, and the yield is higher, but Mo Cheng has also thoughtfully created a smaller still with bronze to purify the alcohol, of course, this is also redesigned.
Looking at these things, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this professional thing still needs to be done by professional people.
After Li Chengqian sighed with emotion, he called Zhang Gao over and asked him to find a place to take the distillers used to make wine, those craftsmen who made wine, and grain, to make wine.
And he took Mo Cheng to them in the East Palace, using a rectifier to distill alcohol.
But it didn't go very well, and it took several days, and a lot of cloudy wine, before they could make a small bottle of good purity.
After analyzing it for a long time, they finally determined that the °C number of those cloudy wines was too low, so it took a lot of cloudy wine to make such a small bottle of alcohol, and of course, the problem of utensils was not small.
Li Chengqian didn't say anything about such an answer, and directly handed over the matter to Mo Cheng and them, and let them experiment and improve it in the Academy of Sciences.
After sending Mo Cheng, who had been busy for many days, sent them away, Li Chengqian took the bottle of alcohol that had come with great difficulty, and he was full of emotion, "Just this small bottle, so much food has been wasted, and I don't know if it's right to do this."
However, compared to the tangled Li Chengqian, Mo Cheng and the others who were personally sent out by Li Chengqian were excited, although these days, they were already very excited in the East Palace, but they never thought that Li Chengqian, who was the crown prince, would personally send them away, which made everyone, including Mo Cheng, secretly swear that they must swear allegiance to Li Chengqian.
Compared with Mo Cheng's excitement, Li Chengqian, who was entangled for a while, ushered in his annoying father again.
"Gao Ming, you're bringing some wine, it's just a little bit, it's not enough to drink at all" As soon as Li Shimin entered the lobby, he asked his son for wine, like a drunkard who was addicted to alcohol.
It turned out that from the beginning when Li Chengqian was making alcohol, there were bursts of wine from the East Palace, and the fragrance could really be smelled from afar.
And Li Shimin, who was already good at wine, asked about the aroma of wine when he came to the East Palace once, so he looked for it.
After asking about the situation, I looked at the liquor that was distilled like clear water, but exuded a strong aroma, and after tasting it, I directly took away a jar of freshly distilled liquor.
In the next few days, as long as he finished drinking, Li Shimin would come back to himself to get it.
At first, Li Chengqian was very cooperative, but later learned that after his father went to invite those civil and military officers with wine, Li Chengqian only gave his father a small bottle every day.
For this reason, Li Chengqian beat him again, but this time even if Li Chengqian was beaten, he did not let go, and called his wife, although it was useless, but in the end, Li Shimin gave up under Li Chengqian's narration.
"My father, you know how much food is spent on that wine, you take it to those ministers every day to drink, this raises their mouths, I see what you do, if it causes food price turmoil, it will outweigh the losses, and whether you want to do that alcohol, if you make alcohol, then there is no wine, you always choose it yourself" After speaking, Li Chengqian looked at his father.
When Li Shimin heard this again, his face showed a tangled expression, he also knew that what his son said was right, but he was reluctant to do that for the liquor.
