Gao Pet and Da Zhu went to the martial arts training hall to practice with everyone in the morning today according to the usual practice, Gao Chong was holding his chiseled gold tiger head gun in his hand, and Da Zhu was also a gun. This is the first time that Gao Zhong has come to the martial arts training ground in this world.

Gu Tian came to the Song Dynasty for more than half a month, since he got up, every day he also played Yang's Tai Chi, Gu Tian is just exercise, it is really a kind of activity to stretch the body as a broadcast gymnastics, never regarded this Yang Tai Chi as a martial art, although the Yang teacher next door in addition to teaching him the routine, the old man also taught the sparring and Yang Tai Chi short fighting skills, but because of the respect for Yang Teacher and Gu Tian's serious personality, this set of Yang Tai Chi also played the body shape, there are board and eyes, and won the teacher's love back then. Da Zhu, Xiao Cui every time he sees Gao Pet playing this Tai Chi, looking at this slow and leisurely appearance, he can't help but laugh every time, and he doesn't believe that this can also be used for fighting.

Because it was early, the sky was still bright, there were more than ten people in the martial arts training hall, the second uncle was sitting in the old position, holding a board in his hand, making tea on the side, and seeing Gao Pet coming in, he only nodded to Gao Pet, a head coach.

Several younger brothers and sisters are there, even the five-year-old sister Jingru is also there, there are eyes and eyes to tie up the horse with the brothers. Zamabu is the foundation of kung fu, is the foundation of strength, but also a kind of pile gong, the cultivation is "essence, qi, spirit", through the stump to regulate the qi and blood, the training of spiritual cultivation, exercise the control of the mind and consciousness. The original high pet can stand for an hour, and his skills are very deep, so the high pet is very stable, and the kung fu is also good.

Gao Zhong began to practice alone three years ago, but mainly practiced the Gao family's marksmanship on the ground and on the horse, supplemented by the training of bows and arrows and hand-to-hand combat. I didn't practice for more than ten days, and now it's Gutian is not a high favorite, the first set of marksmanship is very unsmooth, and there is a slight pause in many links, although there are memories and instincts, but this is the inevitable result of the soul's mutual interference. The second uncle has been staring at Gao Chong's situation, Gao Chong has not finished fighting, the second uncle has come over to stand on the sidelines, and Dazhu has stopped.

After all, the current high pet is the ancient sky, a modern person has never practiced a gun, and a large part of the memory is originally from the memory of the high pet, but memory and understanding are two different things, for people may be that the body can't keep up with the thinking, but now the high pet is the mind can't keep up with the instinct. In his previous life, Gao Pet's understanding of martial arts was much deeper than that of the current Gu Tian, plus he practiced guns for the first time in more than ten days. Needless to say, the second uncle said, compared with the memory of the original Gao Pet, Gu Tian also felt that today's gun was not good.

"Gao Pet, you must first set this heart when you practice guns, and if you can't settle down this heart, you will be restless, and this marksmanship practice is also half the effort. Don't be in a hurry when practicing martial arts, you have to concentrate, and you have to be calm and keep your mind. Judging from the situation of the drill you just had, the main problem is that the offensive and defensive transitions of each move are not very smooth, which may be related to your accident and not practicing for more than ten days, so you should focus on re-experiencing the previous kung fu in these two days. Secondly, at your current level, it is mainly from the fine work of the moves, and the response to the enemy's attack and defense. It is best to do more offensive and defensive battles in actual combat. After you have all your hands in two days, I will arrange more of this kind of sparring and actual combat. In addition, don't leave your kung fu and bows and arrows behind, make your own plan, now you have a lot to do, you can't do anything like before, except for martial arts. It is enough to practice martial arts for one and a half to two hours every morning and evening. ”

The second uncle saw Gao Zhong nodding and went back. I stood there alone and recalled the experience and reaction of practicing the gun just now, and sorted out the various kung fu of Gao Chongyuanhui. I practiced another move on the field, and I experienced it while practicing, and I made rapid progress. When one set of exercises is completed, and then Tai Chi is played, a breath suddenly rises from the abdominal dantian, which is hot, from the back to the middle of the body, from the pillow to the tongue and then back to the dantian and walks a cycle. Whether it is Gu Tian or Gao Pet, I have never had this kind of experience. I used to read novels and often had this kind of internal strength or true anger, but there was no reality when I checked Du Niang. When Gu Tian was with Master Yang, Master Yang also said that there was this record on his ancestors, but he also did not practice any internal strength and true qi. Master Yang taught him the acupuncture points and Zhou Tian Cycle, and he did not remember it. Only a few well-known acupuncture points are remembered. Of course, I don't know how to carry the true qi and how to use it. Gao Tian doesn't know if this is good or bad, and it is estimated that it has something to do with the fact that this body has been struck by lightning. He wanted to ask his second uncle.

After the high pet practice, everyone else left, and the second uncle was not there, so it was estimated that he went to breakfast. I can't rush this matter, and I'll talk about it when we have a chance to meet later.

Gao Pet returned to his yard, changed his clothes, and after breakfast, he called Fu Bo in and asked about the progress of the production of things, and it is estimated that these processed parts will be back in the afternoon. Send away Fu Bo and rush to the west courtyard with the big pillar.

When they arrived at the West Courtyard, the two younger brothers came to complain, saying that yesterday's two boxes of matches per person were taken away by the mother, Gao Pet ignored them, and went directly to the second uncle to pull him to the side, talking about the condition of the internal qi when playing Tai Chi in the morning:

"Second uncle, what is the situation of this, can you tell me" Because there is no exercise, there is no method to use, and I have heard rumors that this qigong is easy to go crazy, and I am very worried, and secondly, I also want to know whether there is really a legendary inner family true qi or internal strength in this era. At least, I have some first-hand experience now.

The second uncle was shocked when he heard Gao Pet so much. This is very similar to the true strength of the inner family recorded by the ancestors, but in addition to the ancestor Gao Siji and Kaiping King Gao Huaide, there are eleven or twelve generations of them, and the Gao family has never practiced the true strength of the inner family, so the name of the Gao family gun is getting weaker and weaker. The kung fu of the Huyan family is still passed down by the Gao family, but now the Hu family has been pressing the Gao family in martial arts, not to mention the Yang family and other old martial arts families, so that the Gao family will change to the civil official route. The Gao family has not led the army for many years. The second uncle was a little excited, and his voice trembled a little.

"Tell me what it's like, the whole process." Gao Pet carefully talked about the process of practicing Tai Chi in the morning to produce real strength, and also talked about his own experience and worries.

"Tai Chi is the kung fu that your little brother often jokes about, I don't know how you came up with it, although it seems slow, it is very in line with the Taoist boxing theory. This sense of qi of yours is very similar to what the ancestors said in the secret exercises, but our Gao family, no one has practiced it since Queen Kaiping, which has made the Gao family's martial arts obscene. This inner family is really strong, and it is all a secret that is not passed down by each family, and ordinary people can't touch it. When you come to me in the evening, some of the martial arts methods handed down by your ancestors will be handed over to you. Originally, it would have been passed on to you until you were twenty years old and crowned. Due to the war in recent years, your grandfather asked someone to transcribe it to me, in case something happens, it will not be lost. Don't think too much, if it's true, this is a major matter in my family, you have to observe and experience it again in the past two days, to see if it is the true strength of the inner family that the ancestors said. The second uncle patted Gao Chong's shoulder to show encouragement.

Gao Zhong and the second uncle talked for a long time, Dazhu and the two younger brothers were ready, and they all prepared chairs today.

Yesterday's concentrated sulfuric acid was made in preparation for the production of nitric acid, mainly for the use of thundermercury in fuzes. Thundermercury is mercury nitrate that has been stabilized. The method is very simple, that is, to use nitric acid and mercury to react to produce mercury nitrate, but the processing process is very dangerous, this is that mercury nitrate is too sensitive, and it is easy to explode when encountering acupuncture, vibration, and open flame, so it is necessary to stabilize and purify it, which requires the use of 95% ethanol, that is, alcohol.

During the Shaoxing period, there was no distilled liquor in the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no liquor, and if there was, it was only a low-level sprinkle made of white koji, not distilled liquor. Because I am preparing to make liquor, the distillation pot I made this time is a bit big. It was all made of copper, and it was delivered at noon.

The pot table is ready-made, and there is also a kitchen in this west courtyard, tidy up and set up the distillation pot, pour a large barrel of rice wine (about 150 catties, about seven or eight degrees of alcohol) from the distillery into the pot, cover the cooling distillation hood, add cold water to the hood, and open the fire for distillation. After about a quarter of an hour, there was a dripping of wine from the mouth, this is the first wine, the most fragrant, ready for everyone to taste and verify. Catch it with a bowl. When I tasted it, it was a little spicy, a little bitter, about 60 degrees, and it was a fragrant wine. The taste is only similar to the most common ordinary liquor in modern times. Let the large column keep adding cold water to the distillation hood.

took out the wine glass, poured a small cup, and gave it to the second uncle for him to taste. The second uncle took a small sip, didn't rush to swallow it, frowned, and then drank the rest of the wine in the cup in one gulp, opened his mouth and said: "Good wine, good wine, I have never drunk such strong wine." Fragrant, mellow and full of flavor. ”

"Second uncle, you are too easy to be satisfied, this wine is just an ordinary liquor except for the high degree, and it has not been adjusted, and the taste is also very poor." Gao Zhong poured out another small cup, took out a match, lit it, and the flame of the liquor emitted a light blue light.

"Liquor above 50 degrees is easy to ignite, the temperature is very high, and it has a certain disinfection function." After the alcohol is burned, let the second uncle and the two younger brothers taste whether there is a taste of alcohol.

"Very light, very little". The younger brother and the second uncle said together.

"Yes, the wine can be burned because the alcohol in the wine is combustible, and after burning, it becomes water vapor and carbon dioxide, and the alcohol in this cup is basically burned, and the rest is basically water."

The wine in the pot is almost steamed, so take the rest of the water away, and then pour the steamed wine into the pot and steam it again, in order to reduce the moisture, it is necessary to use slow heat. At this time, the first wine came out with more than 70 degrees.

Steaming six or seven times like this is about the same. The last steamed head wine is about 95 degrees. I heard that Moutai is going to be steamed seven times, but I don't know how it is steamed.

"Second uncle, if you want to drink liquor or make a distillery, it can already be realized, and you can make good-tasting wine with a little bit of bartending technology, and I will make something before making a bartending."

First prepare the saturated alkaline aqueous solution, pour the alcohol just made, about one or two, into the cup, and put in a few pieces of broken porcelain, the gas collection cooling cover used yesterday, add the same amount of concentrated sulfuric acid as the alcohol to the alcohol cup, heat it slowly, and catch it with the prepared alkaline water cup at the other end.

After a while, everyone could already smell the aroma of bananas and apples, which was very good. Ethyl acetate has flowed out of the small tube of the gas collection cooling hood and is dripping into the alkaline water cup. After waiting, I took a chopstick and stirred, and after a while, the liquid in the alkaline water cup was divided into two layers, and the top was ethyl acetate.

Once the ingredients are available, Gao Pet prepares to mix.

"The older the wine is, the more fragrant it is, but why the old wine is fragrant, everyone doesn't know, in fact, this fragrance is that the wine turns into vinegar, and the vinegar becomes the thing I just refined, called ethyl acetate or ethyl acetate, which is the aging agent. The second uncle drank unprepared wine just now, and generally such a wine glass tastes bad. In order to make good sake, all aspects of the koji, brewing process, steaming, blending, and cellaring are very important. The main thing is to adjust the alcohol content, different alcohol degrees taste different, the second is to cover up the bitterness in the wine, and the third is the flavor type. Different groups of people have different requirements for alcohol, so bartenders also choose different people who are sensitive to taste. ”

"How do you adjust the alcohol level? The first sake that comes out is basically a high-grade liquor, and it is also relatively fragrant, so there is usually a first sake in all kinds of liquor. Later, a lower alcohol was produced, and if you want to mix two wines in between, you can mix the two. How is this criterion determined? First of all, the bartender will make a sample of the wine, and to measure its alcohol content, there is no such measurement tool now, so we will just make one at that time. Use a piece of wood, make a small cone below, and a uniform straight rod in the middle, put it in the water to make a mark on the water surface, write zero, and then put it into the alcohol we have steamed, and make a mark on the water surface, write 95, and divide the two marks equally. If the alcohol content is lowered, you can add mountain spring water. ”

Gao Pet adjusted the wine to about 48 degrees, so that the second uncle tasted satisfied, added 1 of the aging agent (ethyl acetate) that he had just made, and then asked an escort to the kitchen to bring a bottle of white vinegar, add some white vinegar to the wine, and cover up the bitterness with sourness, the wine is very fragrant, and the entrance is mellow.

"The best thing to do is to remove bitterness, and this vinegar is a good bittering agent, because the sourness can cover up a large part of the bitterness, of course, you can add a certain amount of sweetener, and you can also remove some bitterness. Of course, the materials I mentioned are only part of the mixology, no matter how you mix them, the most important thing is to make a good wine, which is the most important thing. Just like martial arts, your body is not good, your hands are not strong, and no matter how many moves you have, it is useless. Second uncle, tomorrow you ask the winery to pull more wine, let's make some, here are the current tools, and there are also things. When I go to see my grandfather, I have to bring some of the past as gifts. ”

As soon as the wine was finished, the materials for the mercury were ready.

Gao pet poured the weighed ethanol (95%) into a porcelain cup and put it on a basin of warm water in a water bath, and the basin was placed in an open and unoccupied place outside; Then pour the prepared nitric acid into a cup filled with mercury, shake it with your hands, and after about 30 minutes, the mercury is dissolved to form a nitric acid solution of mercury nitrate, and do not heat it during the dissolution process. Mercury is a highly toxic substance, and the handling is to be careful not to inhale. At this time, Gao Pet asked everyone to stay away to avoid an accident caused by an explosion. After everyone left, Gao Zhong quickly poured the nitric acid solution of mercury nitrate into the ethanol he had just prepared. Wait for the flask to cool down before . Pour a large amount of water to rinse, discharge, and dry with hot water. In this way, the mercury used to make the fuse is ready, carefully put it into the small porcelain, do a good job of marking, and be careful to enter it so that others do not mess with things.

On this day, everyone's harvest was great, everything was made of epoch-making things, distilled and concocted liquor, made nitric acid, ethyl acetate, and the extremely important dangerous item thundermercury.

The second uncle's head was full of factories and a lot of silver, and the two younger brothers' eyes were full of incredulity, and they regarded this guy who had been struck by lightning as a god, full of stars. In the evening, Fauber pulled a lot of custom-made things into the yard. Gao Zhong gave him a small jar of prepared wine and asked him to go home at night to drink some, and he didn't tell him anything else, only that it was wine.
