Seeing this, the family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it was okay that he was just a retort, and if my uncle wanted to mess around, let him do it, as long as he didn't tear down the kitchen. Besides, he doesn't really want to demolish the retort, it's just a renovation, it's not a big problem, let's change it back when he plays around......

After explaining the details to the old carpenter, Bai He continued to order the others: "You, go and pierce this bamboo knot for me, it will probably be left for such a long time...... Find a way to clean the dirt in it for me, and then wash it twice with boiling water when you're done, and remember to wash it clean, you know? You, go boil water now......"

"Yes, Uncle......" The two family members replied lazily, like dead snakes.

Seeing this, Bai He frowned: It's not good, this kind of work attitude!

Looking at their listless, half-dead appearance, how attentive can you expect them to be? In case something comes up and delays our "plan to make a fortune", who will pay? Well, it looks like we're going to have to give some incentives...... So he took out the money bag from his arms and shook it, shaking the hundreds of taels of silver in it to a "snap".

When everyone saw it, they immediately lifted their spirits as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and stretched their necks to stare at the money bag in Bai He's hand, like chickens waiting to be fed.

Sure enough, there will be brave men under the heavy reward! Bai He laughed secretly in his heart and raised his voice: "Listen, everyone! If you do things for me, I will definitely not treat you badly, as long as you get this thing done for me, then the money will be rewarded to you! However, if anyone dares to cheat and play tricks, hum ......" sneered, and the consequences were self-evident.

"Yes, uncle!"

The so-called money can make the ghost grind, and all the family members suddenly changed their faces, and they all waited for Baihe's order energetically, for fear that he didn't name him, and completely forgot that he had despised him just now.

The world is like this, what's wrong with the son-in-law, what's wrong with the idiot uncle, the rich is the uncle! As long as you have money, don't say that the ghost pushes the grind, just let the grinder push the ghost, then I will push it to you! As for whether they laughed at this uncle for being a fool in their hearts, and a reward was a month's salary, only they knew.

Bai He was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm, nodded, and continued to order: "You, go find me two clean pots again......"

"Yes, uncle!"

"Phew, it's not that the inside of the pot is clean, it's the bottom of the pot, so clean that you don't feel dirty when you lick it with your tongue, it's best to have a new pot...... What the? Don't have a new pot? Buy it! Other than that...... Look here, there will be some gaps in this pot after you put it on, so go find some clean strips of cloth to pad it, so as not to leak, understand? Let's go if you get it......"

"I'm sorry, uncle! The little one understands, let's do it, uncle! ”

"You, go and bring me three jars of wine, it doesn't matter what kind of wine you have, it's better to be stronger. Well...... By the way, take some sake lees, about two or three catties are enough, there should be sake lees in the house, right? ”

"Yes, uncle! I'm going to get ......."

"You, go find a few empty wine jars, wash them and set them aside, remember to be sure to ......"

"You must have scalded it with boiling water, I know, uncle!"

"Well, there is understanding, I appreciate your ......"

As the orderly orders in the chaos were issued, a group of family members were busy, and Baihe mentioned a word here, and corrected it there, and he was also very busy.

The kitchen was in full swing, sweeping away the previous slackness. There is a lot of strength in people, and a simple transformation was completed in a short time under the instructions of Bai He, and after receiving the reward, the family was pointing around the fruits of labor at this time.

The retort is still the same retort for the most part, but now, it has been transformed into a little different. I saw that a hole was dug out about 20 centimeters above the lower mouth of the retort, and a bamboo pipe that had been opened up passed diagonally from the bottom to the bottom of the mouth. There was another hole in the bamboo pipe, and a funnel was inserted into the hole, and then the original lid was gone, and it was replaced by a brand-new large iron pot, which was right opposite the bottom of the pot.

Bai He pondered for a while, and felt quite satisfied, and said secretly: "Should, maybe...... It works......"

In fact, before going to bed last night, Bai He had already thought about how to make money.

Although it is true that growing cotton is a big way to make money, after all, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near. After all, the seed was planted yesterday, can we expect it to be picked tomorrow? Moreover, the little bit planted in the back garden is still an experimental field, and if you want to expand production, you don't know what year and month you have to wait.

And now the Lin family can't afford to wait, the huge family business is about to be eaten by the foodie's fiancée to the point that she can't open the pot, so she has to think of a way to solve the urgent need.

So after thinking about it, it really made him think about it.

Thanks to the two fat-headed and big-eared gentlemen who fought last night, Bai He was very surprised to find that the alcohol content of this era was pitifully low, and the taste was like yogurt with alcohol, which was very different from the liquor he had drunk before. After he came back, he remembered that the production process of distilled liquor only appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and there is no such thing as liquor in Da Zhou today. So early in the morning, he thought about going to the kitchen to get some liquor...... samples.

That's right, I've been working so hard just to make some samples. Because to be honest, we're good at drinking, but when it comes to steaming, hehe......

But as a modern person, I've never eaten pork and seen a pig run, haven't I?

The principle of steaming wine is nothing more than using the difference in boiling points between water and alcohol, and by heating, the alcohol is separated and purified from the water, so as to obtain an alcohol solution with a higher degree. It doesn't matter if you haven't steamed, practice brings true knowledge, we have time, as long as we ponder and ponder, spend some effort, and make some samples, it's not easy to catch?

Now that the tools are in place, it's time for the action.

Little Lori circled around the retort twice, and asked in a daze: "Young master, you, do you really want to steam wine and play?" ”

Bai He smiled and said, "What we are steaming is not wine, but money." ”

"Steaming, steaming money......" Little Lori muttered to herself, where is the young master's steaming money, it's obviously burning money, right! It has cost more than a hundred taels of silver to renovate such a broken retort, so how many jars of wine are enough to buy......

Bai He didn't bother to explain so much, the epoch-making technique of steaming wine, it is not clear to explain in a few words, and when the sample came out, it would be more effective than saying 10,000 sentences, so he directly drove the gang out of the kitchen and was ready to start working.

After all, there are no secrecy regulations or anything like that these days, so we can count on this thing to make a fortune, but we can't let people steal it. Otherwise, as soon as this head is steamed out of some tricks, there will be a cottage on that end, who are we looking for to cry?

Because it is crossing the river by feeling the stones, Baihe does not pay attention to the process, loss or something, and directly pours the three jars of wine into the pot, and then puts the retort on the shelf...... Khan, pour too much wine! So I scooped it out a little more, and put the retort on the shelf again, well, this time just right......

Then it's time to recharge. Because this retort was originally used to steam rice, it can be used directly without modification, so Bai He poured the sake lees directly into it, pulled it a few times with chopsticks, and saw that it was almost even, so he clapped his hands: Well, it's okay!

Finally, spread several layers of gauze to the retort to strengthen the air tightness, and then put the new iron pot that has been washed up, add cold water to it, and it's done!

After the fire is heated, the water vapor mixed with the alcohol rises, and when it meets the cold iron pot at the top, it condenses into a liquid again, so that the wine gathers at the bottom of the pot, drips to the funnel below, and then flows from the opened bamboo pipe into the high-temperature sterilized wine jar.

"Well, Qi is alive!"
