"Uncle, take a look, have you missed anything?" Lao Fang walked in from the outside with a big bag, took out the contents inside, and put them in front of Li Yi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bezoar, mint, honeysuckle, spices, and several large jars of wine that Lao Fang bought from Fucheng...... Looking at the pile of things in front of him, Li Yi counted them, and then nodded, the old man was very reliable, and he didn't miss any of the things he was asked to buy.

As autumn gets stronger, mosquitoes become more rampant at night.

For the body with a special physique now, every night is the most tormenting time for Li Yi.

Now that the business of rock sugar gourd is on the right track, the old man and a few of them can handle it, and Li Yi doesn't need to worry about it anymore, and he finally has time to solve the biggest problem that is bothering him at the moment.

"Uncle, it's not a New Year's holiday, why do you buy so much wine?" The old man's gaze stared at the wine jar on the ground and never moved away, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, looked at Li Yi and asked.

In the past, when the family had no money, there were only so many times a year, and I was willing to spend a few pennies to buy a bowl of wine in the wine shop in Shanxiafang City to satisfy my cravings, and the taste was enough to linger for several days.

Although he has no worries about food and clothing during this period, and there is still a lot of surplus, the poor and scared old man is still very frugal in life, and it is easy to earn copper money, but it is more difficult for him to spend it than to ascend to the sky, so naturally it is impossible to be extravagant enough to have good wine and meat all day long.

"Who's to say it's not a festival?"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, looked back at Lao Fang and said, "Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, these days I am busy with the business of rock sugar gourds, everyone has worked hard, and when the time comes, treat everyone well." ”

When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly: "These wines are drunk during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

"It's not." Li Yi said very simply.

These wines are used by him to make toilet water to repel mosquitoes, but he can't let the old party spoil it.

The expression on the old man's face froze, and he was speechless for a while.

Ignoring the old man's eyes looking at him and slowly becoming resentful, Li Yi spoke again: "Go find a few iron pots, find a few empty bamboo pipes, and start working soon." ”

Li Yiyuan wanted to put the matter of purifying alcohol back for a period of time, and then talk about making soap first, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, so he had to put alcohol purification in front.

There is no other reason, because if you want to make mosquito repellent toilet water, you must use a high concentration of alcohol.

Lao Fang's work efficiency was very fast, and the iron pot was quickly found, and under the guidance of Li Yi, he was busy for most of the day before the alcohol distillation device was completed.

Distilled alcohol, of course, is not simply placed in a pot to heat, so that the temperature is too high, the alcohol and water evaporate together, and after condensation, the result is still a low concentration of alcohol, which cannot have the effect of purification.

This simple distillation device heats the water first, uses the water temperature to evaporate the alcohol, and the alcohol vapor re-condenses at the top, enters the bamboo tube, and flows out of the purified alcohol.

The schematic diagram of the distillation device, Li Yi easily found it in the book, but those flasks and glass tubes and other equipment can't be realized at present, so in desperation, he can only retreat to the next best thing and replace it with these simple things in front of him, although the effect will definitely be much worse, but as long as the concentration of alcohol can be obtained at more than 75 percent, it is enough to use.

After all the preparations were made, Li Yi lit the flame below, and the next thing to do was just wait.

Lao Fang scratched his head, looked at Li Yi for a while, and looked at the strange thing that his uncle asked him to make, and his head was a mess.

As drops of wine flowed out of the hollow bamboo tubes, gradually, the kitchen began to diffuse with a rich aroma of wine......

"Boom."

Lao Fang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Li Yi turned his head to look at him, and the old man immediately wiped the corners of his mouth, looked away from the bowl under the bamboo pipe, and pretended to be indifferent.

When the speed of the liquor flowing out of the bamboo tube became extremely slow, Li Yi knew that the wine in the pot had almost been distilled, so he took out a chopstick and dipped a little liquor in the bowl, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and frowned slightly.

Although the alcohol content of the distilled alcohol is much higher than the beginning, it still does not meet his requirements.

"It seems that this distillation device is still too rudimentary, and if you want to mass produce and improve efficiency in the future, you must improve the distillation device." Li Yi muttered, poured all the liquor distilled once into an empty jar, and replaced it with fresh liquor for the second distillation.

Lao Fang smelled the fragrance in the air, his throat kept stirring, and he couldn't wait to pick up the jar next to him and drink happily, but thinking that these wine uncles must be of great use, he restrained this idea vividly.

The alcohol concentration of distillation is far from enough, the device is simple, the number of times to make up, Li Yi repeated the distillation over and over again, so that the alcohol concentration of each distillation will increase a little.

The book says that distilling alcohol by distillation can only get about 95% of the alcohol concentration at most, and Li Yi can't get such a high concentration with a few broken pots, of course, but the concentration of about 80% is enough for him to use.

After distilling like this several times, Li Yi found that the concentration of alcohol had not improved much when he distilled again, so he gave up.

"Gollum ......"

The old man beside him swallowed another mouthful of saliva.

Glancing at the old man, Li Yi really couldn't stand it anymore, so he divided the distilled alcohol into a small bowl, handed it to him, and said, "Okay, don't be greedy, how about tasting this wine?" ”

When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up, and after taking the wine bowl, he couldn't wait to drink it all.

Li Yi watched Lao Fang's face turn from black to red, and the whole person let out a comfortable moan, the expression on his face was extremely satisfied, and he said loudly: "Good wine!" ”

Thump!

After saying these two words, Lao Fang's body shook a few times, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Uh......"

Looking at the old man lying on the ground, snoring, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

Look at this guy looks so strong, it turns out to be an embroidered pillow, and he can't pour it down in one bite, and it's not much better than himself!

Putting the distilled alcohol on the tip of his nose and smelling it, a spicy taste rushed straight to his lungs, but in an instant, Li Yi felt that his head began to feel a little dizzy......

Hurriedly removed the wine bowl, and at this time, he realized that what he was facing was a high-concentration alcohol with a concentration of more than seventy-five percent...... In the previous world, it seemed that the sale of alcohol with a concentration higher than 60 degrees was prohibited in Japan......

Looking down at the old man lying on the ground, the corners of Li Yi's mouth couldn't help but pull......

"Such an adult, and he can't resist the temptation so much, he deserves it!"
