Chapter 161: Distilled Spirits (Subscription Requested)

After listening to Wang Dazhui's words, Sun Simiao stared at Wang Dazhui for a long time with a pair of bright eyes, and then said: "Old man, I like you more and more now, not only are you smart and clever, knowledgeable and courteous, but this heart is also very rare kindness. ”

"Senior, you've won the prize, I'm just doing what I want to do." Wang Dazhui let Sun Simiao look at him, with a faint smile on his face.

He knew that he was doing this, and it was indeed a little incomprehensible to others, and he might think that he had some intentions, maybe in order to cling to Qin Shubao's status and power, but Wang Dazhui really didn't have such an idea, and his heart was selfless and wide, so he would be fearless in the face of Sun Simiao's scrutiny.

When he arrived at home, Wang Dazhui's parents returned from his aunt Wang Xuemei's house with several of Wang Dazhui's sisters.

Yang Qianye, who was sick in bed, was chatting with the great monk Master Xuankong, it seemed that the two of them were quite talkative, and they didn't know what they were talking about, in short, they both looked like they had smiles on their faces.

Sun Simiao dropped a sentence and asked Wang Dazhui to quickly write the ancient medicine to himself, and then returned to his courtyard to study the method of suturing the wound that Wang Dazhui had told him before, as well as the method of identifying blood type and blood transfusion.

The old man doesn't look old, but he is very studious, since he saw Wang Dazhui suturing Yang Qianye's wounds and blood transfusions, he immediately forced Wang Dazhui to write the principles and methods to himself in detail, and then began to ponder the truth, and began to do experiments on animals.

Wang Dazhui returned to his courtyard and began to prepare the tools for brewing medicinal wine.

Although when he was in the Liupan Mountain Cement Factory, he had brewed a batch of liquor in the local area, but the concentration of those wines Wang Dazhui felt that the medicinal liquor was a bit low, and it could not achieve the effect he wanted.

So he plans to use distillation to purify the liquor he had brewed before. Then add medicinal herbs to make the medicinal wine you want.

This medicinal wine is not only brewed for Qin Shubao, but also for his parents and other elders, because the medicinal wine is not only effective, but also can be taken internally and externally at the same time, and it is also convenient to store, so there is no need to decoct medicine every day, and it is also a benefit for people like Qin Shubao who don't like to take medicine.

In the 21st century, medicinal wine can be said to be very common, and many elderly people use medicinal wine to treat their old cold legs and rheumatism osteoarthropathy. In this era of the Tang Dynasty, there were also medicinal wines, but they were all applied externally, which were used to invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis and inflammation.

Since you want to purify wine, you must first create a set of purification tools. The problem of drawings is very easy to solve, Wang Dazhui himself knows that he can also draw it, but if he wants to make it, he can't do it without a good craftsman. However, there is no hurry, there are not many skilled craftsmen in Chang'an City.

Wang Dazhui came to his study, immediately took out a pen and paper and began to draw drawings according to the memory in his mind, a complete set of purification equipment including two parts: distillation pot and condenser.

On the one hand, there are more brass in this era, and it is convenient to take materials, on the other hand, the thermal conductivity of brass is also better, and it is also a catalyst for many esterification reactions, and it also has a certain resistance to the acidity in the wine.

The condenser, Wang Dazhui intends to use pottery instead, because if the glass is fired, then he still needs to study a successful glass firing process, which will take a lot of time, and he does not have so much time for the time being. The firing process of pottery is already very mature, and Tang Sancai is the best proof of this.

It took about half an hour, Wang Dazhui finally drew the drawings, a complete set of distillation equipment drawings, it is not easy to draw, especially the tools that have not yet been used.

After drawing the drawings, Wang Dazhui found Uncle Bao, handed him the drawings, and instructed him to take the drawings to the palace workshop that had been cooperating with the Wang family, and let them build a complete set of equipment according to the drawings.

Uncle Bao took the drawings and looked at them, but he didn't understand what they were, but his young master's ideas were always different, and there were often many strange things, so he didn't ask much, and according to Wang Dazhu's instructions, he personally took the drawings to the villain to build.

There is really nothing to say about the craftsmanship of the workshops in the palace, as long as there are drawings, they can quickly create what they want according to the drawings, which is not comparable to the folk workshops outside. In two days, he got a complete set of distillation equipment that Wang Da Hammer wanted.

After Uncle Bao got it back, Wang Dazhui saw that the workshop in the palace was indeed good, and the construction was not bad at all.

"What is this? Master! Uncle Bao put down his things and looked at Wang Dazhui as if he were looking at a rare treasure, with an excited face, so he couldn't help asking.

"This is the distillation equipment, which I use to purify the liquor, look, it won't be long before you can drink the spirits that you have never drunk before, and it will definitely blow your mind." Wang Dazhui explained excitedly.

"Spirits? Is it stronger than the wine we brewed at the Liupan Mountain Cement Factory? "Uncle Bao is also a wine lover, and he especially likes to drink spirits, so when he heard Wang Dazhui say that this equipment can make spirits that he has not drunk, he immediately felt drooling.

"If you want to drink spirits, why don't you go to the cellar and bring out the wine we brought back." Wang Dazhui commanded with a smile.

"I'll take someone with me." Uncle Bao immediately took the others and moved all the wine jars in the wine cellar out.

Wang Dazhui assembled the entire distillation equipment, rinsed it with water, tried it by the way, and felt quite good, so he immediately poured the wine into the brewed distillation pot, lit the fire, and burned it.

As we all know, the boiling point of alcohol is lower than the boiling point of water, so as the temperature rises, the alcohol first reaches the boiling point, immediately vaporizes, and then re-liquefied in the condenser to produce alcohol with a relatively high concentration.

The more than 200 catties of liquor stored in the cellar of Wang Dazhui's family were purified by the distillation equipment, and a total of about 20 catties of high-concentration spirits were obtained. That is, the distilled spirits of later generations.

Seeing Wang Da Hammer's distillation equipment, Sun Simiao, Master Xuankong and Wang Da Hammer's father were all very curious, especially after tasting the distilled liquor purified by Wang Da Hammer, they were even more amazed.

Although Wang Da Hammer's distillation equipment is not as good as modern ones, the distilled spirits are not bad at all, and they are not inferior to modern brandy, whiskey, rum, and China's Moutai and Wuliangye.
