Chapter 16: Essential Medicine for Crossing
After explaining what else needed to be purchased, Wang Cheng got up and went back to the small courtyard where he lived.
In the afternoon, several people brought what he wanted, a pile of garlic and a cart of wine.
Now, just waiting for those appliances to be typed, he can refine that cross-era drug - allicin, a compound that inhibits and kills some bacteria and fungi.
Of course, he would have preferred to make penicillin, but the process and refining tools are much more complicated than allicin, and he can't get it out at the moment with the process here.
Although there are powerful warriors and cultivators in this world, the vast majority of them are still ordinary people, so the standard of living is still in the feudal era, even if there is really the kind of elixir and elixir that can make people reborn and bring back to life, it must be very rare and cannot be popularized.
Therefore, a drug like allicin, which has inhibition and killing of a variety of bacteria and fungi, is definitely comparable to a miracle drug here!
Wang Cheng is a medical student himself, and he has done experiments on extracting allicin in experimental classes, so he is very familiar with the specific extraction process.
There are several ways to extract allicin, the first is the laboratory practice, the mashed garlic is distilled with water in a still, the method is the same as the ancient extraction of flower dew and essential oils, and a condenser tube is also needed here.
The second is relatively simple, mash the garlic, simmer and crush, and then soak it in high wine for a period of time, and the upper golden liquid is the simplest allicin.
Wang Cheng prefers to use the first method because the first method of extraction is more pure than the second.
It was not his character to sit and wait, so he had another cart of wine delivered, ready to use the second method, first extracting some allicin as a backup.
In this case, as long as you can distill a high-strength liquor, you can do it.
Wang Cheng opened a jar of wine and tasted it, it was about the same degree as beer, shook his head and sighed: "No wonder the ancients drank a jar of wine at every turn, and I have no problem drinking a jar of wine at this point." ”
Because of discipline issues, he didn't know how much he drank, but he had drunk a case of beer before, wasn't drunk, and could imitate Michael Jackson in a spacewalk.
So he asked someone to ask the Freegot Bureau if there was a device for distilling spirits, and he thought that the Freegoner Bureau was also the top force in Sanchuan County, and this kind of thing should always be easy to get.
There really is!
And it's in the dart game!
In addition to the maids, and a small number of female dependents, the rest are all men, most of them are dart heads, dart masters, and executioners, which is a man's nest!
Hundreds of mouthfuls are crammed into a godwalker game, how can there be less wine every day?
Therefore, there is a wine cellar in the Miracle Dart Bureau, and the small courtyard above the wine cellar is the place where the wine is made.
Wang Cheng followed a subordinate to the small courtyard of winemaking, there was only a large vat in the room, and there was no pot in sight, let alone a still, it was completely natural fermentation.
Exercise!
Wang Cheng turned his head and left, he still overestimated the craftsmanship of this world, and it was strange to expect those few broken vats to be able to make high-concentration wine!
Back in the small courtyard, he hurriedly asked people to set up a pot in the courtyard, and prepared a pot lid and a few hollowed-out bamboo pipes.
Then the bamboo pipes are erected, one is connected to the inside of the pot, and then the other is connected to the outside, and this bamboo pipe is covered with a thicker bamboo pipe, and cold water is added in the middle to act as a condenser.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when he was done, and he poured the wine into the pot and began his journey of purifying the alcohol.
The boiling point of alcohol is 78 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
After all, the earthen pot is not as good as the laboratory device, the temperature is the most difficult to control, even if Wang Cheng is sensitive to the temperature, he can't control the temperature at about 80 degrees, so the collected alcohol is mixed with a lot of water.
Wang Cheng didn't expect to make anhydrous alcohol all at once, so he first distilled high-concentration alcohol, and then asked his subordinates to get quicklime, add quicklime to the alcohol and heat it back, so that the water in the alcohol reacted with calcium oxide to produce non-volatile calcium hydroxide to remove water, and then distilled, so that almost anhydrous alcohol could be obtained.
It took more than an hour, and dozens of jars of wine finally extracted a few jars of anhydrous alcohol.
At this time, several layers of people had gathered outside the small courtyard, if it weren't for Xu Guang also in the courtyard, the courtyard would have been crowded, and they were all hooked by the strong aroma of alcohol.
Xu Guang was dressed in regular clothes, and the face of the demigod and half-demon was full of solemnity, and he casually beckoned Li Daping, who was intoxicated, and said, "Pass the order!" No one is allowed to spread the word about today's events! ”
He is well-informed, how can he not see the value of this set of distilled alcohol equipment.
Li Daping nodded, turned his head and seriously warned those outside the hospital, and then dispersed them.
Wang Cheng saw all this, he didn't expect that he would make such a big move by tinkering with something at will, with his obsessive-compulsive personality, he couldn't look down on the broken device in front of him.
"Sir, may I taste it?" Xu Guang pointed to a jar of alcohol and showed a smile that he thought was very easy-going, but that face really made Wang Cheng not feel easy-going, but a little panicked.
Of course, Wang Cheng couldn't let him drink anhydrous alcohol directly, if he drank too much, he would be poisoned, he lifted the lid of the pot, added some alcohol to the water in the pot, stirred it a few times, scooped a bowl and handed it to Xu Guang, and explained: "The head of the family still needs surgery, so he can only taste it!" ”
Xu Guang nodded, took a small sip, and then the face of the demigod and half-demon was full of complexity.
"What does it smell like?"
Li Daping was curious, and when he spoke, he had already taken the wine bowl in Xu Guang's hand and drank it all.
It was hot, like a knife through his esophagus and into his stomach, and his heart felt as if it was on fire.
Li Daping's face instantly turned red, and he shouted: "It's really fucking enjoyable!" This is fucking wine! In the past, the ones that Lao Tzu drank were the same as water, and they could fade out of a bird! ”
Wang Cheng looked at the two, for this kind of distilled liquor, people who like it really like it, and even the higher the degree, the more they like it, but there are also many people who don't like it at all, they prefer fermented wine.
Although Xu Guang prefers fermented liquor, it does not prevent him from seeing the value of distilled spirits.
This is definitely the only one in Da Zhou, this is the only one, there is no semicolon!
He tried, "Sir, can you give me this winemaking skill?" Xu is willing to buy with a thousand gold! ”
"I'll write it down in a while and let someone take it!"
Dropping this sentence, Wang Cheng entered the room with a few jars of alcohol, and now that the anhydrous alcohol has been prepared, he still has a lot to do.
Alcohol plays a great role in this world, such as preparing 75% disinfectant alcohol, using alcohol to refine allicin and flower water, and can also be used as incendiary and explosives!
Wang Cheng was busy until late at night, and finally prepared disinfectant alcohol with a concentration of nearly 75%, and also refined a part of allicin.
Each gold bar weighed a pound, and more than sixty were neatly arranged in a box.
Even though Wang Cheng was not interested in money, he was shocked by the dazzling golden light, and for a moment, he almost wanted to find a place to retire.
With so much gold, isn't it beautiful to buy a house and marry a few concubines? Why bother fighting, killing, killing?
So, this night, Wang Cheng made a mistake.
Well, when I woke up, my pants were wet.
That's a lot!
Putting on his outfit again, Wang Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.
Maybe it was because the essence was lost too much last night, but this time it took a few more minutes to settle down, and the mind entered the mind again, the soul light was still so little, and the soul devouring bead was still so big.
Cultivation is not like practicing martial arts, practicing martial arts can advance by leaps and bounds, and cultivation is all about water grinding kung fu.
Everyone has a soul, so everyone has mental power, and the reason why some people can use mental power is that cultivators can gather the scattered mental power in their minds and grow it continuously.
An hour later, Wang Cheng finished his practice, wearing a newly changed black robe, a gray cloth hood, and two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, still looking like a middle-aged man.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he came to the tea house and picked a more secluded corner.
The tea house is a famous tea house in Sichuan and Chongqing County, which not only sells tea, but also sells dim sum and meals, and many people have gathered on the first floor when they come.
Eating and drinking tea is not the main thing, and most of the people who come here are talking about things, from the high-ranking officials of the temple to the common people of Limin, there are all kinds of things in the rivers and lakes.
Today's discussion is no longer about Yang Si, but about the leader of the Shuangsha Gang, who has mysteriously disappeared for many years, Black Whirlwind Zhang Kui, who has become the focus of everyone's discussion.
"You all know what you've heard! Black Whirlwind Zhang Kui actually appeared, and he appeared in public! The strange thing is that the little white dragon Li Shun has disappeared and has not been seen for a month! ”
"I don't understand it yet! Obviously, the disappearance of Black Whirlwind Zhang Kui five years ago must have something to do with him, and now that people are killed, he is naturally hiding! ”
"Black Whirlwind Zhang Kui is ruthless, this time he reappears in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many heads have landed!"
"Hey! It's not clear whether others will die or not, the little white dragon Li Shun must be dead! It's a pity that his little concubine Jin Jiuniang was also famous all over Sanchuan back then, and it was rumored that the black whirlwind Zhang Kui was because of the battle between Jin Jiuniang and the little white dragon Li Shun! ”
"What's the pity, a cheap commodity who stabs thousands of people for thousands of days, and the little white dragon is a treasure!"
"Haha! I heard that these days when the black whirlwind came back, it was all served by Jin Jiuniang, and this little white dragon was afraid that he would not be able to think of it, and the woman he desperately got got went to his old enemy's bed in a blink of an eye! ”
Wang Cheng listened to the discussion of several people, and his understanding of the Shuangsha Gang became deeper and deeper, no wonder the Shuangsha Gang rose quickly and fell quickly, the two gang leaders had an infighting, and it was a blessing that they were not destroyed.
Therefore, he is even more sure that it is not the Shuangsha Gang who wants to kill him, someone must be behind it!
The man in gray was the first to be excluded, and he didn't know him, so someone must have instructed him behind his back!
The biggest possibility is that it is still Brother Xu Boyi!
However, if it was really Xu Boyi, he would have ordered him to be arrested directly, why did he sneak around?
Wang Cheng was puzzled, and just as he was thinking, a little girl appeared in front of him.
Eight or nine years old, wearing a bright red dress, two braids, two red clouds on both sides of his round little face, blinking a pair of big eyes, and being able to speak.
She stared at the pastries on the table, swallowed her saliva, looked up at Wang Cheng again, and muttered, "Uncle, someone asked me to give this to you, and you will invite me to eat." ”
She handed out a crumpled note, Wang Cheng frowned and took the note, opened it and looked at it.
The note read: Xiao Lingtong is in my hand, tonight, at the end of the night, Wuliu Lane has its own courtyard, and no one is allowed to take it!
