After going back, Chen Siye began to prepare for the trial production of Peach Blossom Perfume, saying that he was really a little nervous without the assistance of the system, and he had to try it himself.

But it's still too early to think about this, he first asked Miaozhu and Xiangling to take a basket to pick peach blossoms, picking a basket is almost enough, and then wash the peach blossoms after picking, and then dry the water on them. Although the two girls didn't know what he was going to do, they all obediently listened to him and went to pick peach blossoms.

The second is to distill alcohol, although there are no various things in the laboratory, but he still knows the principle of the distillation device, and it is still possible to make a simple version of the distillation device.

But now that he is an official, Chen Siye is also a little inflated, and with his current status, he naturally won't do it himself, so he went to find Uncle Ming, and asked Uncle Ming to send him two craftsmen to help him, and asked for a dry raw material.

Uncle Ming also had nothing to do, so he immediately found two honest craftsmen to go with him, and sent someone to move all the things he needed to Tingzhuyuan.

Distilled alcohol mainly relies on heating ordinary liquor, because the boiling point of alcohol and water is different, the alcohol will evaporate first, and then condense into a higher degree liquor, so repeated distillation can obtain a high concentration of alcohol.

However, it is not possible to directly heat the wine on the fire, so that the temperature is too high and the condensation after evaporation is still ordinary wine, which is useless.

Separate the middle layer, heat the water with fire, and then heat the wine with water, so that the alcohol is obtained.

Under the guidance of Chen Siye, two craftsmen first built a simple stove in the open space in the Tingzhu Garden, and then put a large pot on it, and then put a slightly smaller pot on top of the cauldron, so that the bottom of the small pot was immersed in the cauldron.

In this way, the main body is completed, Chen Siye tried it, and it was quite sturdy, as long as it didn't collapse suddenly.

The two craftsmen looked at the thing they made and were confused, the big pot was covered with a small pot, and they didn't know what it was for, and they wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

However, Jing Qingqing, who had been watching from the sidelines, asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" But what are you going to give us something to eat? ”

Chen Siye knocked him on the head and scolded with a smile: "Just remember to eat, this is not delicious, but delicious." ”

"Can I taste that?" Jing Qing said expectantly.

Chen Siye smiled secretly in his heart, "Okay, I'll let you taste it later." ”

The rest is the condenser pipe part, because there is no more suitable one, Chen Siye replaced it with a bamboo pipe, directly opened a hole in the lid of the pot, and inserted the hollow bamboo pipe into it.

To say that the wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated, the hole opened by the craftsman in the lid of the pot and the bamboo pipe are tightly seamed, and even the mortise and tenon structure is used to connect with the lid of the pot, which makes Chen Siye amazed.

This was done, and Chen Siye was also looking forward to the effect of this simple distillation device, so he filled the cauldron with water, poured wine into the small pot, and blocked the gaps in the lid with a damp cloth to prevent steam from coming out of the gaps.

Skillfully put the firewood to light the fire, and put the empty wine jar on the other end of the bamboo pipe, and just waited for the alcohol to come out of it.

Jing Qingqi said on the side: "Brother-in-law, this bamboo pipe turned upward before coming down, will something flow out?" ”

"Naturally, otherwise why would I bother so much?"

"That will flow

Out of what? Or is it still wine? ”

"No, no, no," if it were wine, this kid would definitely not drink it, "It's only in the heavenly court that there is elixir and jade dew, and you will have a good mouth later." ”

Looking at Jing Qing's puzzled and expectant eyes, Chen Siye smiled secretly.

As the flames jumped, it didn't take long for the water in the pot below to come out of the steam, and Chen Siye stared at the bamboo pipe, waiting for the alcohol to flow out.

Finally, in the expectant eyes of everyone, a drop of wine flowed out of the bamboo tube, and the aroma of wine also wafted out.

Waiting is a long process, during which the bamboo tube has to be cooled down with cold water at intervals to accelerate the condensation of steam, and finally after receiving more than a jar of liquor, the speed of the bamboo tube dripping the liquor is getting slower and slower, knowing that the alcohol has almost evaporated, Chen Siye reached under the bamboo tube and took a drop and tasted it, and it was as light as water.

After tasting the wine in the jar again, Chen Siye couldn't help frowning, although it was stronger than the original wine, it was far from the word alcohol. It is estimated that it is also the level of modern liquor, but there is no doubt that this distillation device is successful, and there is no fear that the alcohol content is not enough, as long as you come a few more times.

The two craftsmen are also good wine people, smelling the aroma of the wine, and watching Chen Siye taste the wine, they both swallowed their saliva involuntarily. Jing Qing also stared at Chen Siye tightly, and said expectantly: "What is the taste?" ”

Chen Siye laughed secretly and smacked his lips: "It's almost meaningful, you wait for a while, and then I'll refine it." ”

After saying this, he went back to the house, took out twenty taels of silver from the cash box, and took two more cups, and then went out of the house again.

The money was given to the two craftsmen, and they couldn't let the family work in vain, and the tea cup was also given to them, and the two of them had been swallowing saliva He had noticed it a long time ago.

After holding two glasses of high-grade wine, Chen Siye handed it to the two and said, "Come, the two of you have worked hard, quickly taste this elixir and jade dew." ”

The two of them looked surprised, they wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it, and finally they didn't resist the temptation, took the cup, took a small sip, and as soon as they entered, their eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "Okay..."

"Ahem, ahem!" Chen Siye hurriedly coughed, interrupting the words of the two, and the two of them suddenly woke up, and one said: "Okay!" This elixir is really wonderful! ”

Jing Qing on the side had a look of envy on his face, he had never drunk wine, although he could smell it, he didn't know what it tasted like in his mouth, "Brother-in-law, I want to drink it too." ”

Another craftsman smiled and said: "Little brother, Chen Gongzi has said just now, this elixir jade dew has not yet reached the heat, so it is just for us to taste it, don't worry, when the heat is ready, Chen Gongzi will naturally let you drink it." ”

The two were also very cooperative, coaxing Jing Qing with Chen Siye, and Jing Qing could only give up when he heard the words.

Chen Siye was very satisfied with the two of them, took out the silver to seal a red envelope for them, the two were flattered, and they didn't dare to say anything, and finally at Chen Siye's insistence, they accepted it, and Chen Siye told the two not to spread today's events, and the two agreed again and again, drank all the wine in the cup, and then left.

After the two left, Chen Siye began to continue the purification work, pouring the "wine" that was already as light as water in the pot to water the flowers, and then pouring the purified wine in the jar back into the pot for distillation.

It is said that the highest concentration of alcohol can be obtained by distillation, but it is definitely not that high by relying on this simple device alone, but Chen Siye does not need to be that high.

After each distillation, Chen Si

Ye will hold some for backup, after several distillations, he felt that the concentration had reached about seventy or eighty percent, Chen Siye stopped, did not continue, thinking that there would not be much improvement in distillation.

Seeing that Chen Siye was about to call it a day, Jing Qing, who couldn't wait, hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, are you okay now?" Is it OK to drink? ”

Chen Siye had forgotten a little, and was about to put it all away, but when he reminded him like this, he suddenly remembered, so he scooped a small point out of the final product with a spoon and handed it to Jing Qingdao: "Oh, you taste it." ”

"So little?" Jing Qing looked disappointed, took the spoon to his nose and sniffed it, and immediately frowned and said, "This elixir jade dew smells so strange." ”

Chen Siye held back a smile and said: "Others can't drink it if they want to, you are too little, although this elixir jade dew smells a little strange, but after drinking it, it can make you feel like walking in the clouds." ”

Jingqing, this kid is not stupid, he drank a little bit tentatively, and suddenly his facial features were deformed, and he took several sips in a row, and then he stretched out his tongue to find water, and Chen Siye, who was watching, couldn't help laughing anymore.

After pit Jingqing, Chen Siye was in a very comfortable mood, humming a minor tune to label and seal the various concentrations of liquor respectively.

At this time, Miaozhu and Xiangling also came back with a basket on their shoulders, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled a lot of wine, and when they saw the distillation device, they couldn't help but wonder: "Childe, what are you doing?" But drinking? What is this? ”

Chen Siye smiled and said, "It's just right to come back, come and taste the elixir and jade dew I just refined." ”

The two daughters all came over with curiosity and sniffed the jar he was holding, and suddenly frowned, Xiangling covered her nose and said, "Son, don't try to lie to us, this is obviously wine." ”

Chen Siye couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's okay, you guys are smarter than that kid Jingqing." ”

The two girls were all curious when they heard this, and Chen Siye told them what had just happened, which immediately made the two laugh.

After laughing for a while, Chen Siye looked at the basket that the two were carrying, "I've finished everything I told you?" ”

Miaozhu proudly presented the basket to Chen Siye and said: "Childe, you see, the peach blossoms we picked are the best, the buds are large, the color is bright, there are no flaws, and they are also careful when washing, and they are not damaged at all." ”

Chen Siye looked at it and praised: "It's really good, go and spread it out and dry it, I can make perfume when the water on it is dried." ”

"Perfume?" When the second daughter heard this, she knew what he was going to do, and she was all curious.

Chen Siye explained to them again, sure enough, as long as it is a woman, she can't escape this curse, the two girls all looked like they wanted after hearing the effect of this perfume, but because Chen Siye was usually very good to them, she was not embarrassed to speak.

Chen Siye naturally saw their thoughts, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely leave some for you then, as the so-called building near the water gets the moon first." ”

The second daughter immediately jumped for joy.

After a few people cleaned up everything, Chen Siye remembered that Jingqing's kid hadn't come back, so he went to his house to see what this kid was doing.

When he entered his room, he found that this kid was asleep on the bed with a red face, obviously in a drunken state, and couldn't help but make Chen Siye laugh, just licked it and vomited, he could still be drunk like this, this amount of alcohol is really no one.
