After that, Li Tao told Dong Fei the general process of distilling the liquor. It took half an hour, Li Taolian said with a comparison, and Dong Fei finally understood the principle of distillation.

"Little master, does this method really work?" Dong Fei felt like he was in a dream, he had never heard of such a method of making wine.

"I don't know if it works, I don't know until I try it!" Li Tao shook his head and said.

"Okay, I will give the little master a satisfactory result as soon as possible!"

Dong Fei seemed to suddenly remember something, scratched his head and said, "It's okay to say anything else, it's just that this ...... matter."

Li Tao reminded on the side: "Distillation tube! ”

"Oh! Right! Distillation tubes! I don't know what material to use for this distillation tube, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome to build! ”

Dong Fei said this problem, in fact, Li Tao had thought about it a long time ago. The distillation tubes of later generations were made of glass, but at this time glass had not yet appeared, and Li Tao thought for a long time and did not come up with what material to use instead of glass.

At this moment, Pei Yue suddenly said: "Little master, I have a way, I don't know if it's feasible or not?" ”

"Uncle Yue! You name it, come and hear it! ”

"I'm thinking about the little master, the distillation tube you said can be made into a blank of mud first, and then fired into ceramic!"

Listening to Pei Yue's words, Li Tao and Dong Fei's eyes lit up at the same time.

Li Tao laughed and said, "Uncle Yue! Great, that's your way! ”

Li Tao didn't expect that the problem that he had been thinking about for so long and not coming up with a result would be solved so easily by Pei Yue, which really helped him a lot. Distillation tubes made of ceramic are basically the same as glass in other aspects except that they are opaque.

"Since that's the case, Uncle Dong, I'll leave the rest to you! I'll come to see you often, and we'll discuss it when there's anything going on! Li Tao explained to Dong Fei.

"Don't worry! Little master! ”

"Also, this thing must be done quietly, and don't let outsiders know!"

"Got it, little master, I know the severity!"

……

A month passed in a blink of an eye, Li Tao calculated the accounts, and earned a total of 238 yuan in a month. In addition to various expenses, he also made a net profit of 180 yuan. Li Tao did not hide from everyone and announced the account. After that, Li Tao gave Liu Xuan's father and son, the Bai family's father and daughter, Tang Zhang, and each of them a monthly salary of ten yuan. In addition to leaving 30 yuan as a regular expense, the remaining 100 yuan is the monthly income.

Tang man Zhang refused to ask for this ten yuan of money, Li Tao saved his life, and promised to give him a pension in the future, how could he ask for Li Tao's money again?

Li Tao pulled Tang Ren Zhang aside and whispered: "Uncle Zhang, if you don't accept it, others will definitely not accept it!" Even if you do me a favor, you'll have to take it. Besides, you can save it and give it to me when I marry my daughter-in-law in the future! ”

What Li Tao said was reasonable, and Tang Ren Zhang had no choice but to accept it!

Liu Xuan's father and son and the Bai family's father and daughter didn't care about how much Li Tao paid them, they didn't follow Li Tao for money, they each had their own little abacus.

Liu Xuan joked to Li Tao: "Didn't you say that the salary of three times a month, how can this become ten times?" ”

"Too much? Then find me seven times the money! Li Tao rolled his eyes.

……

"Little master, you taste, is this the kind of wine you are talking about?" Dong Fei handed over a glass of wine mysteriously with a face full of mystery.

"It's finished?" Li Tao was pleasantly surprised.

Dong Fei nodded: "It's just that I don't know if it's the kind of wine you said, little master!" ”

Li Tao took the wine glass and carefully held it: "Yes, crystal clear and transparent without impurities." I guess it's been distilled several times, right? ”

"It took five times to distill, and more than 50 catties of miscellaneous liquor were steamed out of one catty of this liquor!"

Li Tao took a sip and tasted it carefully, and said with a smile after a long time: "Yes, this first step is considered a success!" ”

"What? Is this the first step? Dong Fei wondered.

"That's right, this wine is strong enough to keep it for years without going rancid! But the fragrance is insufficient, and it still needs to be blended! ”

"Blending? What is Blending ? "Dong Fei heard for the first time that wine still needs to be blended.

"There are many types of liquor, especially the distilled liquor has its own characteristics, but all of them have defects. Only by combining a milder wine with a spicier taste can you get a wine with a moderate and perfect taste, and this process is called blending! ”

"I see! Little master, this method you said is what we winemakers call flavoring! ”

Li Tao smiled: "That's what it means!" What kind of wine is blended, what fragrance is blended, you are an expert, I will not make an axe! ”

……

Qiu Fengpo's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and it stands to reason that Li Tao should be so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, but Li Tao can't be happy, and he is in trouble again.

Maybe it's because the people of the autumn wind break are easy to talk, or maybe the money made by the autumn wind is too easy to make people feel red, and there are more and more people who eat overlord meals in the autumn wind, and the methods are also full of tricks.

Some of them are eaten for free, but when it comes to the checkout, they either say "no money". Either it is to show the posture of "who dares to take my money". This kind of person is often some "gangsters", and Li Tao generally settles things and does things hastily. Sometimes there will be a group of people who eat a meal, and when no one pays for the meal, they pretend to be in a hurry and go out one after another, and when they are all gone, they will escape successfully, and if they can't go, they will "break in". What's more, some people take advantage of people's unpreparedness, throw flies and cockroaches into the soup, and then blackmail. This kind of person is still hateful, and the attack is usually almost finished.

Li Tao was afraid that the noise would affect his business, so he waived the meal fee, and even lost some money. Originally, Li Tao wanted to go down with the mud like this, but then something happened that made him realize that going on like this was not a long-term solution.

That day, after a group of ruffians ate and drank for nothing, they didn't seem to feel comfortable enough, and one of the gangsters actually picked up Zhao Yuting in public. Pei Yue was furious when he saw this, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Li Tao.

Li Tao knew that if Pei Yue came out, it would naturally be easy to clean up these gangsters. But if you show your martial arts in public because of this, causing others to suspect you, it will outweigh the losses.

At this moment, Liu Zhiren rushed forward and fought with the gangsters. After all, Liu Zhiren was born as a literati, and he was the opponent of these gangsters, and he was immediately beaten to the ground. Seeing this, the gangsters were afraid of taking on the lawsuit, so they scolded dryly, and then left in a huff.

Li Tao knew in his heart that if he didn't think of a way, similar things would happen in the future, and I was afraid that there would be no business to do.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Tao finally slapped his head and said to himself: "Why am I so stupid? Since there are too many mice, why don't I get a cat? ”
