Chapter 47: What Must Be Done by Travelers Back to Ancient Times (1)
"Hot pot, you know what. As a traverser, or travel to ancient times, if you don't distill a high degree of wine, you are sorry for the name of your traverser, and it will be in vain. Lu Zhe looked at the pile of wine lees and a pile of bottles and cans in front of him, and chattered about the hot pot very carefully.
The two-legged beast of the fish's lips. I looked at my servants looking at a bunch of white things that emitted a pungent temperature, with an excited look, and my heart was full of worries about the IQ of my servants, could it be that these two legged beasts have no food these days, and they have reached the point where they want to eat this thing that seems to be very good? Rolling Huang curiously stretched out his tongue to lick it, it was spicy and astringent, it was simply not Rolling Food.
It's still good to be bamboo, tender and delicious. The Rolling Emperor was a little happy to think that the Emperor remembered that his two-legged beast was going to eat meat, and it just so happened that in the wooden cave of another group of two-legged beasts nearby, the Emperor remembered that there were still many horses, or the Emperor would shoot the two horses to feed him.
Lu Zhe was carefully fiddling with some bottles and cans on the table, but he didn't know that his hot pot was going to shoot the horses in the horse shed of the Tongjun Mansion to feed himself.
"The craftsmanship of the ancients is really good." Lu Zhe looked at the set of distillation equipment on the table, and couldn't help but be in awe of the wisdom and methods of the ancient working people of our country.
This set of distillation equipment was Lu Zhe asked Mu 17 and Niu Duzhong to help find someone to do, and the chicken thief like him would definitely not hand over the drawings of the full set of equipment to one person, but let them do a part of it separately, because the distillation equipment is very simple, so in order to confuse these two craftsmen, Lu Zhe made a lot of things in one go, such as stone crucibles, funnels, iron frames, and balance utensils, and in the name of medicine for the United Army, he asked Niu Duzhong to help him find a lot of saltpeter, sulfur and alum, as well as hydrated lime and alkali, and also made an alcohol lamp out of stone.
I heard that it was a medicine for the marshal to refine his wounds, and the people of the Tongjun Mansion showed a terrifying ability to collect materials, and not long after Lu Zhe returned to the house, the things he asked for were delivered.
"Hehe, it's almost alcohol now, if you don't order the technology tree, what kind of traverser is it." Looking at the pile of raw materials in front of him, Lu Zhe was excited.
I can't help but be excited by Lu Zhe, these things can be said to be one of the most important cornerstones of his Datang Science and Technology Tree.
Green alum is ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, after the ancient alchemists calcined it, they obtained dilute sulfuric acid, hydrated lime and alkali can obtain caustic soda, that is, caustic soda, and saltpeter dry distillation can obtain nitric acid, so that the three acids and two alkalis, which are known as the cornerstone of postmodern industry, are almost hydrochloric acid, but with these things, Lu Zhe can finally purify the snowflake salt he sold to Mu's firm to the standard of later generations, but this will be another business plan for him, press the table. The point is that with pure table salt (Nacl), hydrochloric acid can also be produced in small quantities.
What's more important is that in this feudal era when a person's life is like grass and the nobles are unhappy and can kill people at will, he is still a remnant of the previous dynasty, and he has to have a little self-protection thing, with these things, Lu Zhe can make black powder or even glycerin explosives, with this, even if he is a general with high martial arts, he can blow up and kill you.
Therefore, Lu Zhe decided to put aside the three acids and two alkalis first, and the technology tree of black powder was pointed out first.
Of course, for the sake of the alcohol lamp and Niu Jinda's injury, Lu Zhe was still ready to distill the high-concentration alcohol first.
Lu Zhe got up again, took some bamboo and put it at the gate of the courtyard, and then gestured to the emperor, and the emperor ran out and lay at the gate of the courtyard, looking like who came in and passed the emperor's pass first, so frightened that the two families guarding the gate of the courtyard trembled.
After getting along for so many days, this panda with a very high IQ can already understand most of Lu Zhe's meaning, and sometimes even with a look, the panda knows what Lu Zhe wants to say. Sometimes Lu Zhe wonders that it's not that he and his sister have great druid blood, but that this panda is actually a transformed druid.
Closing the courtyard door, Lu Zhe began to dig a pit, in the small courtyard of the unified army's house, he built a stove with stones, put a small iron pot on the stove, put sake lees in it, and cover it with a lid, the iron pot and the lid were only made today, this lid Lu Zhe specially asked the blacksmith of the Mu family firm to leave a hole, and then asked the blacksmith of the Tongjun Mansion to make an iron pipe and cork. Lu Zhe stuffed the cork with the iron pipe into the small hole in the lid, closed it tightly, and blocked one end of the pipe with his fingers and blew himself from the other.
Well, the airtightness is excellent. Feeling that he couldn't blow it in at all, Lu Zhe smiled with satisfaction.
After connecting the device, Lu Zhe began to officially distill. There is a lot of firewood in the military mansion, and it is also a good pine, Lu Zhe put the firewood under the stove, lit the fire with flint, and began to distill.
After a while, there was a dripping of wine at the exit of the iron pipe, Lu Zhe dipped his finger a little, and hurriedly spit it out.
"Rub, it's spicy." This body didn't seem to have any resistance to alcohol, and after just a little bit of alcohol, his face immediately turned red.
Yes, there are almost more than 60 degrees and almost 70 degrees, as a warrior who tested alcohol in later generations, Lu Zhe still recognized the degree of his distilled liquor. Seeing that the wine was already out, Lu Zhe carefully controlled the heat and distilled it over low heat.
This method of distilling liquor with distiller's lees, there are also many in Zhejiang, it is called dregs or dregs, the legend is that it was invented by people in the Yuan Dynasty, it is called Jiu Khan, and it is said that it was a tribute during the Qing Dynasty. However, Lu Zhe distilled it, probably because of the bad sake lees, the wine in it is extremely spicy, almost more than 60 degrees, as the standard of alcohol for laboratory alcohol lamps, it may also need to be distilled twice, but if it is used to clean Niu Jinda's wounds, this degree is about the same.
"Oops, I might be bad." After all, the airtightness of the iron pot is not as good as that of the distillers of later generations, as the distillation progresses, a strong aroma of wine comes to the nose, and Lu Zhe, who controls the fire by the stove, inhales a lot of high-concentration alcohol vapor, and he has to constantly taste the degree of the wine to avoid distillation to the back is water, so at this moment, Lu Zhe's face has turned red, and he is also a little dizzy.
Seeing that the white porcelain bottle he took from Mu Shi in the morning, the clear liquor had been filled eight or nine times out of ten, Lu Zhe didn't care about the remaining sake lees, first corked the bottle of steamed high wine, staggered the pot, poured the steamed sake lees into the sack that had been prepared a long time ago, and piled it up with the unsteamed sake lees. Then kick away the earthen stove that he had built and fill it in.
Seeing that the traces of his distillation had been almost cleaned up, Lu Zhe went back to the house, picked up the kettle and poured it in a daze, burped, and felt that the wine was surging, so he didn't care whether he took it off or not, he lay on the couch, covered with brocade, and lay down in his clothes.
He slept soundly, but he didn't know that the outside of the small courtyard almost turned the sky over because of him.
Hot pot in the stable: "??? These horses are so strange, why don't they run when they see the emperor? ”
