"The principle of distilled spirits is to extract high-purity liquor by vaporizing it according to its physical properties."

"Because the vaporization point of alcohol is 78.3 °C, vaporized alcohol can be obtained by reaching and maintaining this temperature, and if the vaporized alcohol is then fed into the pipeline to cool, it is liquid alcohol·······"

Shen Wen instructed the servants to make simple stills while they had them pour a jar of wine that had just been bought from the bazaar into the cauldron.

He is going to take out some distilled liquor at tomorrow's cultural meeting and make it a hit.

With fame, distilled spirits bring a steady stream of wealth.

"Regardless of the taste of distilled spirits, the quality of distilled spirits is far superior to that of the top liquors of the Three Kingdoms period just by looking at them in a crystal clear state."

When the sake of the Three Kingdoms period is poured into the bowl, it is mixed with impurities that are visible to the naked eye.

"Let's all get out."

When most of the preparations were completed, Shen Wen waved his hand to let the servant leave.

The final work needs to be done by his own hands.

"How can distilled liquor get ten gold and one jar, this is fired by Cai Yong, a great writer and calligrapher."

Shen Wen added a few matches to the pot to control the temperature in the pot below 100 degrees Celsius, Mei Zizi thought.

The biggest difficulty in firing distilled spirits is to make a still, because he can only rely on the props of the Three Kingdoms World, Shen Wen can only use bamboo as a distillation pipe.

After cutting the bamboo in Cai's mansion to make a distillation pipe, and testing that it did not leak, Shen Wen made a distiller that looked extremely ugly according to the drawings of the ancient version of the still he had designed before.

"It's too slow~"

About half an hour later, Shen Wen looked at the distilled liquor that was less than half a jar and shook his head again and again.

It's too slow to make distilled spirits with just one still, but just to make a name for yourself tomorrow, you don't need too many distilled spirits.

He made up his mind in his heart that the three disciples of tomorrow must choose carefully.

"Father, pigs are starved to death, pigs can eat more than chickens, and in the same time, pigs must starve to death first."

In the kitchen, a shadow walked quickly, looked at Shen Wen who was burning a fire in a cauldron, and said.

After finishing speaking, a pair of bright eyes looked at the strange equipment in the kitchen, and the cauldron was also connected to another cauldron with bamboo pipes, and both cauldrons were tightly sealed.

"Wrong."

Shen Wen said leisurely.

"Think about it and use your brain."

Shen Wen also stood up, walked outside, and called the servant who had been serving Cai Yong.

Making distilled liquor is too tedious, in addition to the housekeeper of Cai's mansion, there is also a servant in Cai's mansion who is Cai Yong's henchman, and he can use it.

After Shen Wen told the servant what needed to be paid attention to during the distillation process, he left the kitchen.

Because the system has already prompted that the production of the distilled spirit has been completed.

After Shen Wen left the kitchen, he began to draw all the materials and tool drawings needed for the other four skills on the bamboo slips.

The only thing that makes him regret is that Cai Yong's skills are like a skill, he can use it at any time, he can understand the words of this Three Kingdoms era, and he can write beautiful flying white fonts, but he just knows it and doesn't know why.

Shen Wen was concentrating on the preparation of the system task, but he didn't know that the entire Luoyang City was boiling because of his words.

He didn't know at all how powerful it was to recruit three disciples.

Cai Yong's disciple = official.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when there was no imperial examination, if you want to be an official, the biggest official depends on fame.

Cai Yong's personal disciple is the greatest fame, and with this name, when he goes to the state and county, he can at least mix the master book and make a long history.

Unless it is the sister-in-law of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and the son-in-law of the Yang family of the third and fourth dukes, almost no one can resist the temptation.

Even if you can't become Cai Yong's disciple, if you can have an outstanding performance at the literary meeting, you can also make a name for yourself and add some prestige to yourself.

This night, Shen Wen slept peacefully, but the scholars of the entire Luoyang City had a hard night.

What is a couplet?

Many scholars from poor families gathered together in twos and threes, talking with candles and nights, discussing what kind of literary game it was.

The wealthy scholars of prominent backgrounds were at home looking through ancient books, trying to find some records about couplets.

"Yingchuan Xun Yu Xun Wen Ruo has seen Mr. Bo Jiao."

"Yingchuan Xun Yu Xun Gongda has seen Mr. Bo Jiao."

"Yingchuan Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao have met Mr. Bo Jiao."

·······

Even though Shen Wen said before that anyone could participate in the meeting, the gap between the wealthy and the poor was still like an abyss.

Before noon, some wealthy scholars took the lead in visiting with their friends and entered Cai's mansion.

Shen Wen sat on the main case, looking at the three young men with different demeanors and temperaments, but all with handsome faces, and his face showed a kind smile at the right time.

I have daughters, are you afraid of a few more juniors?

"Meng De has seen his uncle."

A middle-aged man with a height of about one meter seven, thin eyes and long hair, and bright eyes, with a thick smile on his face, bowed to Shen Wen.

"Nephew, please."

The kind smile on Shen Wen's face was thicker at the right time, Cai Yong and Cao Cao's father Cao Song had a certain friendship, and Cao Cao often asked Cai Yong some literary questions, and the two were very familiar.

"Brother Bo, the scene of your meeting is a bit big, I think there are at least a thousand people outside."

A man of Cai Yong's age and long hair walked in.

Lu Zhi, Lu Zigan.

"Zigan Xian brother, please."

Shen Wen couldn't help but stand up from the main case and greeted him.

Cai Yong and Lu Zhi have a good relationship and are good friends.

"Nanyang Xu Yu Xu Zi has seen Mr. Bo from afar."

Lu Zhi sat behind the table to Cai Yong's left, and a middle-aged man with a deep smile on his face walked in and bowed respectfully.

"Nephew, please."

Shen Wen's kind smile appeared again, and in Cai Yong's memory, although he didn't like Xu You, he admired his talent.

·······

Lu Zhi, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xu You, Guo Tu, Tian Feng·······

When noon came, Shen Wen looked around at the people in the courtyard, there was still a stiff and kind smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with a different color.

At this time, throw a grenade in the courtyard, and the history of the Three Kingdoms will be rewritten.

The holding of the literary meeting, Shen Wen was carried out in accordance with the memory in Cai Yong's mind.

As for the couplet, Shen Wen only briefly introduced the rules of the couplet and the rhyme of the couplet, and gave a few examples of the couplet, and then stopped speaking.

The candidates for the three disciples, he actually decided at the moment when the literary meeting began.

In the literary meeting, all the scholars who answered his question could drink a bowl of distilled spirits, and the reputation of distilled spirits was successfully spread.

Crystal clear, the aroma of wine is tangy, anyway, everyone who drinks is fascinated and admired.

It wasn't until dusk that Shen Wen officially announced the end of the meeting and announced the three best performers.

The three disciples he chose also surprised everyone.

Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Lü Bu.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu already had teachers, and it was impossible to worship Cai Yong as a teacher.

Lu Bu is just a reckless man, how could he be favored by Cai Yong?

No matter what others thought, Shen Wen was very satisfied with his choice.

In the lobby of Cai's mansion, Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Lu Bu looked at each other, especially Lu Bu, who was sent by Dong Zhuo to maintain order, and stood on the post for a long time, but as a result, why was he selected?

"Meng De, I will pass on you thirty-six strategies for the art of war."

Shen Wen took the initiative to speak, breaking the strange atmosphere in the lobby.

"The 36 strategies are divided into six sets, namely, the battle plan for victory, the battle plan for the enemy, the plan for attacking the battle, the plan for the melee battle, the plan for the battle, and the plan for defeat."

"The first three sets are used to be at an advantage, and the last three are used to be at a disadvantage. Each set contains six counts, for a total of thirty-six counts. ”

Cao Cao originally disagreed, because he knew that Cai Yong was a pure Confucian student, but when Shen Wen spoke, Cao Cao's eyes sparkled, and a trace of eagerness flashed in his eyes.

He could feel that the thirty-six strategies of the art of war that Shen Wen said were superior military books.

"In order: the golden cicada sheds its shell, throws bricks and leads jade, borrows a knife to kill, waits for work, captures the thief and captures the king, and robs the ······ while the fire is fired"

Shen Wen said word by word.

"Uncle, I don't know who wrote the 36 strategies of the art of war?"

Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

Xun Yu and Lu Bu on the side were all shocked, they had never heard of the thirty-six tactics of the art of war, but they could feel its profundity and mystery.

"Anonymous."

Shen Wen said leisurely.

The 36 Strategies of the Art of War were written in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is no mention of who the author is.

"It's a shame that no one knows such a master of the art of war."

Cao Cao lamented.

"Thank you, uncle."

Seeing Shen Wen handing over a roll of bamboo slips, Cao Cao received it in his hand with an excited expression and opened it gently, he couldn't wait to take a look at this peerless art of war hidden by history.

"Ten big fat pigs (take their fat after slaughtering), ten carts of coal, ten buckets of alkali stone, ten buckets of salt, ······"

Cao Cao cautiously opened the book, looked at the content on it, the whole person was stunned, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

What is this?

What about the art of war?
