Rum is actually soju made from sugar cane juice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rum is not a specialty of the Republic of Cuba, but is produced in the Antilles, Colombia, Honduras and Mexico, among many other places.

The rum of the Republic of Cuba is famous because it is clear and transparent and has a pleasant aroma, which is a characteristic feature of the rum production process of the Republic of Cuba.

In the afternoon, after Cespades ordered someone to bring the rum, Chu Xue asked Yan Shun to send the wine into the underground cellar, but after opening the cellar, Yan Shun found that the space of this underground cellar was extraordinarily large, and there were more than 300 oak barrels filled with fine wine alone, most of which were large oak barrels with a capacity of 500 liters.

More than 300 500 liters, roughly estimated at least 150,000 catties, the vintage is basically more than ten years, and the longer can even be traced back to half a century ago, which is simply a paradise for wine lovers.

Li Mu also likes to drink a glass when he is fine, but it is just a taste, and he will never be greedy for a cup, so Li Mu has no special feelings for wine, and now he has accidentally found so many fine wines, of course, he has to take them out and share them with everyone, only when he meets people who really love wine, the existence of these wines is meaningful.

"One hundred and fifty thousand pounds—God, Reem, can you bring me a bucket, and I'll pour it in the tub and sleep in it at night—" Benjamin's eyes straightened, as if he were already in a sea of rum.

"Ah, I don't ask for much, I can come and have a drink every day after work, of course, Reem, you must get a bucket so that I can have a drink before I go to bed." George Dewey's requirements are not high, and a bucket is not a problem for Li Mu.

Mahan didn't speak, but there was no shortage of desire in his eyes, for people who really had good wine, money was not a problem, the key was that the opportunity was rare, such a good rum was hard to buy in the United States, and even if there were, the price was unaffordable for ordinary people.

"Don't worry, I'll get each of you a bucket later, and we'll say it's okay when we come, we have good things to share, so when the cargo ship goes back, everyone can send some home, this is our first harvest in Cuba." Li Mu is generous, Li Mu will definitely not be able to drink so much wine, there is still a Will in Springfield, such a good wine, you must get some back and let Will taste it.

"Hooray-" Benjamin and the three of them cheered in unison, Li Mu's arrangement was so thoughtful that it was impossible to find fault.

With rum as an aperitif, Li Mu's draft was passed smoothly, and as Li Mu expected, George Dewey and Mahan did not have a full understanding of hygiene issues, and Benjamin was even a little disgusted by this, but for the sake of rum, they did not raise objections.

"Don't underestimate the issue of hygiene, and pay more attention to this issue." Li Mu once again emphasized that he would explain the principle of the spread of the disease in a casual manner.

The relationship between personal hygiene and illness is common knowledge in the 21st century, but in the 19th century, not many people thought that there was a necessary connection between the two.

The study of bacteria began about 200 years ago, in 1683, Anton Leeuwenhoek first observed bacteria using a single-lens microscope of his own design, but it was not until the late 19th century, when Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch pointed out that bacteria can cause diseases.

Of course, the "people" here refer to those top scientists, ordinary people are not aware of the existence of bacteria, and the understanding of bacteria is even more blank.

Although George Dewey and Mahan were elite people in the military field of this era, in the field of medicine, George Dewey and Mahan were also standard laymen, and they had never even heard of the word "bacteria".

"So, if we pay attention to personal hygiene, then we can overcome the occurrence of diseases caused by unfamiliar environment to a certain extent." Mahan noticed the effect of this discovery.

"Not to a certain extent, but to a large extent, if we pay attention to personal hygiene, then even if we can't prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases, we can definitely stop the large-scale outbreak of infectious diseases." Li Mu's words are conclusive.

"How do you know?" Mahan's expression was solemn, and he went straight to the heart of the problem.

Yes, this question is not easy to explain, so many top scientists have not proved the relationship between bacteria and large-scale infectious diseases, how do you Li Mu know about it?

"What my ancestors told me, you should actually notice that if a person takes care of personal hygiene, cleanliness and cleanliness, then that person will rarely get sick, and that's the same thing." Li Mu couldn't explain it, so he had to give the credit to the Chinese ancestors who had led the development of the world for a long time.

In fact, the health situation of Europeans is really nonsense, in the Middle Ages, Europeans generally believed that bathing would be life-threatening, many medieval Europeans only took two or three baths in their lives, and more people insisted on not bathing, such as His Excellency St. Abraham, the man of God insisted on not washing his face and feet for 50 years, and finally succeeded in canonization.

The mother of King Henry IV of France insisted on not bathing for the rest of her life and was canonized as the Holy Lady Agnès.

Look, saints and saints are like that, ordinary people can imagine.

In the 14th century, the Black Death spread across Europe, killing one-third of Europeans. At that time, doctors believed that water would weaken the function of organs, and when taking a hot bath, the pores would be completely expanded, and toxic air would enter the body, so the more you bathed, the more likely you were to get sick.

As a result, Europe entered the Dark Ages, or the Age of Dry Erase, and King Louis XIV of France took only one bath in 64 years from 1647 to 1711.

A hundred years ago, during the reign of Louis XV, the situation finally improved, and Louis XV bathed only three times in his life, the first time at birth and baptism, the second time on the day of his wedding, and the third time when he was to be buried.

If it's just that they don't take a bath, Europeans are still fond of open defecation, and it's disgusting to think about it.

In the 19th century, the situation improved further, and the personal hygiene of Europeans was much better than before the 18th century, but personal hygiene was still not improved enough, so it is conceivable that Li Mu is now so sure that poor personal hygiene habits will lead to diseases, and how shocking they must have been to Mahan.

"It seems that it is true, at least I have rarely gotten sick since I was a child." Although Benjamin didn't want to fix the toilet, when it came to business, Benjamin at least wouldn't pull back.

This is actually nonsense, at the current level of medical care, if the body is weak since childhood, then maybe a fever can burn people alive, and they will not live so big at all.

"Reem, if you can be sure that your hygiene will fight a large epidemic, then I will report it." Mahan's expression was serious, and he regarded this as a very meaningful thing.

As mentioned above, the United States is carrying out the "westward movement" at this time, and a large number of Americans have entered the central and western parts of the country that no one has ever visited, and the most dangerous thing in the unfamiliar environment is not the living animals of people, but the diseases that cannot be seen or touched.

"Yes Alfred, I'm sure that if you pay attention to personal hygiene, then you will definitely reduce the chance of a large-scale outbreak of infectious diseases, so I suggest that Washington promote personal hygiene throughout the country, and that a large number of public sanitation facilities, a large number of public baths and public toilets everywhere will not only improve the environmental level of the whole United States, but also prevent large-scale disease outbreaks, and I am very sure of that." Li Mu is also serious, if the US government can do it, then this can be regarded as Li Mu's contribution to this era.

Li Mu now wants not only money, but also fame, honor, or merit, as long as Li Mu's personal status can be improved, Li Mu does not hesitate to copy all the advanced concepts of the 21st century.

If Li Mu can return to the Qing Empire, Li Mu will certainly prefer to build the Qing Empire into the most powerful country in the world, but the problem is that there is no if, the Qing Empire cannot tolerate Li Mu, a Han man, to get ahead, and Li Mu is not willing to work for the Manchu government, and in the absence of a choice, Li Mu can only take the United States as his motherland.

"Well, I'll report to Washington, and let the gentlemen in Washington choose." Mahan decided to report, for Mahan, if what Li Mu said is right, then it will definitely benefit the United States a lot, if what Li Mu said is false, then at least it can make the environment of American cities more beautiful, and people don't need so much perfume to cover up the smell.

Yes, the reason for the invention of perfume is not to increase feminine charm at all, but to cover up the smell, think about it, a person can insist on not taking a bath for decades, how heavy the taste must be-

"I will also send a telegram to Will, even if the gentlemen in Washington do not pay attention to this issue, Will can enforce it in Springfield, and I believe that this will eventually be confirmed, and that no matter which city it is, it will benefit from the first to pay attention to the construction of public facilities." Li Mu doesn't care about Washington, Springfield is Li Mu's best experiment.

Yes, Washington Lee doesn't care, but in Springfield, Will has absolute power.
