Chapter 56: Purification

"Brother Zhang, you just asked about the quality of liquor, go out immediately, what you have to do is not related to liquor?"

"Brother Zhang, am I right?"

"Sister Xiaoxi, why doesn't Brother Zhang speak?"

……

Zhang Xiaochi's forehead was bruised, this little girl, he deliberately didn't speak, thinking that the other party would shut up and watch because it was boring, but who knows, it has been talking non-stop.

"Miss Ling'er, aren't you tired of talking for so long?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked angrily.

"I'm not tired."

"Brother Zhang, tell me about it!"

"I can't say it, only me and Xiaoxi know about it."

Zhang Xiaochi replied calmly, the technology of purifying liquor is a business that can make money, and it is possible to make a lot of money, this kind of secret, not a close person, naturally cannot be leaked at will.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ling'er's little face suddenly felt aggrieved.

"Brother Zhang, it turns out that you have been guarding against me!"

"I want to make it clear, I'm not guarding against you alone, and no one else has said anything."

"I haven't even told Xiaoxi yet."

Zhang Xiaochi added seriously.

"Husband, will it make Miss Ling'er uncomfortable if you are so straightforward?"

Lin Xiaoxi was kind-hearted after all, and said softly with some unbearable feelings.

Although she doesn't know Zhang Xiaochi's plan yet, she believes in her husband.

"It's okay, it's a good thing for Miss Ling'er to understand that there are some things that can be asked, and some things that can't be asked."

Zhang Xiaochi comforted.

"Brother Zhang, can't you save me some face?"

Zhao Ling'er asked aggrievedly.

"Sometimes, if you don't hear what you say, it's good for you."

Zhang Xiaochi explained.

Zhao Ling'er stopped talking, followed the two of them for more than ten seconds, and said suddenly.

"Brother Zhang, Sister Xiaoxi, I'll go back first."

"No need to go back, we're all here."

Zhang Xiaochi stopped Zhao Ling'er, if she was allowed to leave alone, it might be dangerous, and what he was going to do now would not reveal anything.

Hearing Zhang Xiaochi's words, Zhao Ling'er's face was overjoyed, and her aggrieved expression faded a lot.

"Yo, Boss Zhang is here again?!"

"Master Chen, help me make two large wooden barrels."

"How big does it take?"

"One meter and five ...... in diameter"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaochi hurriedly closed his mouth, it was the feudal era, people couldn't understand this sentence, their eyes looked around, so they gestured the inner diameter of the barrel with their hands.

After the order was given, Zhang Xiaochi went to Qingwa Town to fold a lot of small bamboos, and then returned to the restaurant.

"Husband, what's the use of these things of yours?"

"You'll find out later."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, poked the inner wall of the small bamboo clean, and did not stop until it was as unobstructed as the water pipe.

In the evening, Zhang Xiaochi dismissed everyone, and then locked himself and Lin Xiaoxi in the kitchen.

"Xiaoxi, this is called purification technology."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, brought a jar with wine and put it on the stove, put one end of the hollow bamboo into the altar, and then sealed the mouth of the altar with yellow mud, and then soaked the bamboo in the water, and placed a jar under the other end.

"Husband, what are you?"

Lin Xiaoxi was dumbfounded, and her beautiful eyes were puzzled.

"It's called a distillation device, and it's the most rudimentary distillation and purification device."

Zhang Xiaochi explained.

"Then why is the bamboo soaked in water?"

"Soaking in water, it's for cooling, alcohol...... The steam of liquor volatilizes, and when it encounters cold water, it will be night Huacheng wine. ”

Zhang Xiaochi explained simply, this kind of thing will not be explained clearly for a while, and only actual combat is the best teaching.

As time went on, the temperature inside the jar rose, and it wasn't long before the wine dripping from the other end of the bamboo.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, took a little with a spoon and drank it, and that familiar feeling suddenly came to his heart.

"Husband, can I drink it?"

Lin Xiaoxi asked curiously.

Zhang Xiaochi hesitated for a moment, now the distilled liquor, the alcohol purity is definitely more than 97%, as a special soldier before the crossing, he naturally dealt with alcohol for a long time, so after tasting it, he will feel very familiar.

"Xiaoxi, this wine is very powerful, you can't drink too much."

Zhang Xiaochi took a little and fed it to Lin Xiaoxi personally.

Sure enough, after Lin Xiaoxi finished drinking, he suddenly stuck out his tongue.

"Husband, this wine is so powerful!"

Lin Xiaoxi was surprised.

"How's the entrance?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked.

"It's spicy, but it's a little soft."

"It's the best wine I've ever drunk."

"The current liquor is too strong, and after a long distillation time, the taste is relatively better."

Zhang Xiaochi explained with a smile.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the first jar of liquor was distilled, and I opened it and took a look, and a jar of liquor was distilled and purified into half a jar of liquor.

Zhang Xiaochi sighed secretly, this device is too simple, there is too much loss in the distillation process, if it can be improved, the loss will be less.

"Stream, try it again."

Zhang Xiaochi scooped a spoon and poured it into the bowl, Lin Xiaoxi took it and took a small sip, and the taste of happiness suddenly filled her pretty face.

"Husband, it's delicious!"

"It's not spicy now, it's much softer in the mouth, and it's very comfortable to swallow."

"Okay, distill some more."

Zhang Xiaochi also took a sip of it himself, and the purified wine was better than before purification, I don't know how many times.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaochi took Lin Xiaoxi to be busy in the back kitchen until twelve o'clock in the evening, and for this reason, three jars of wine were also purified.

"Xiaoxi, rest early."

"Well, so are you, husband."

Lin Xiaoxi fell asleep with joy, as if she saw the scene of the restaurant business exploding again.

After putting the wine away, Zhang Xiaochi also began to sleep, and when he woke up the next day, he took the lead in checking the purified wine and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he opened the door of the restaurant with confidence.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he found the cow shopkeeper at the door.

"Yo, shopkeeper cow, why are you standing at my door so early?"

The cattle shopkeeper stared at Zhang Xiaochi and said angrily.

"Zhang Xiaochi, is it a good thing you did?"

When he saw the cattle shopkeeper for the first time, Zhang Xiaochi immediately understood something in his heart, it must be the price of pork stalls, so he came to him.

"Shopkeeper Niu, what are you doing in the morning?"

Zhang Xiaochi naturally wouldn't admit it, and began to pretend to be stupid.

"Zhang Xiaochi, don't pretend to be confused here, don't you dare to admit it if you dare to do it?"

The cow shopkeeper's voice was a little louder, attracting some melon-eating crowds to watch, but fortunately there was no one in the morning, otherwise, I am afraid that this place would have been surrounded by water for a long time.

"You're still not a man?"

"Shopkeeper Niu, please respect yourself, don't push the trumped-up charges on my husband."

Hearing the movement, Lin Xiaoxi walked out of the restaurant and stared at the serious and serious reminder of the shopkeeper.
