Chapter 311: Steaming Wine

"Report to the prince, the chief manager, the blacksmith in the army and fifty jars of wine have been delivered, and now they will be placed in the courtyard!"

By this time, the blacksmith and the soldier who had gone to order the wine had returned.

"Oh, call in the blacksmith to the king!" Li Yuanba glanced at the little soldier when he heard this, and said.

In just ten breaths, four young strong men wearing thin cloth clothes with bulging muscles on their bodies, especially the extremely muscular arms on their arms, walked in and bowed when they saw Li Yuanba:

"Little Wang Qiang, Liu Li, Cheng Xin, and Li Dongsheng have seen adults!"

These blacksmiths have never seen Li Yuanba, in their opinion, the one who can summon them over must be a senior official in the court, and the leader who entered the Taishou Mansion and looked at the people in the hall must be a senior official, so why don't you hurry up and salute?

"Well, it's all out of courtesy!" Li Yuanba bowed slightly, and at the same time raised his hands weakly, signaling them to get up.

Several burly men stood up resignedly, and cautiously looked at Li Yuanba, Li Ji and the others with the corner of their eyes.

"This king called you to come this time, because he wants you to create a set of tools for this king!" Li Yuanba didn't have superfluous nonsense and went straight to the point.

This king? In front of -1, this master turned out to be the prince! During this period of time, the one they heard most in the army was the Martial King Li Yuanba, could it be that this one in front of them was His Royal Highness the Martial King?

Thinking of this, the eyes of the four brothers suddenly lit up, this is a fierce man!

"Lord Wang, the four younger brothers don't know anything else, but they still know a little bit about building weapons! Tell me. ”

Originally, I thought that there was something important about the four of them coming over, but I didn't expect that it was just to build something, such a task was simply too simple for them.

Hearing the words of these men, Li Yuanba suddenly laughed, and he took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the table in front of him, but in just a few breaths, a few utensils used to distill liquids. It's already on paper.

Li Yuanba knocked on the table and asked a soldier to hand the rice paper to the four blacksmith brothers in the hall.

"This ...... Dare to ask the prince, what is this? ”

The four brothers have been fighting iron for more than ten years, but the things drawn on this paper have never been seen in their lives.

"You don't care what it is, just tell the king if he can fight it, and how long will it take to make it?" Li Yuanba did not answer the words of a few blacksmiths, but directly asked them to build these distillation tools.

The blacksmith named Liu Li, who had taken the lead in speaking earlier, hesitated for a long time after carefully looking at the drawing. Road:

"Lord Wang, these things will take some time...... If the prince is in a hurry, he can make it in half an hour, but it can't be used for a long time, and it will be scrapped after a few times. You see......"

"Okay, you guys try to speed it up! Do a good job, and this king will not treat you badly! ”

At the moment, the sooner the better, or the words will drag on for a breath. It's one more danger.

"The little ones will be made!"

Okay, the princes have spoken, so they don't have to deal with this pestle, it's still important to get down to business.

The soldier led the four blacksmith brothers to find the blacksmith's furnace to make distillation tools. The hall here became silent for a while, it was really too heavy on the topic of Fang Cai, they were still digesting what Fang Cai Li Yuanba said, and there was no extra space in their minds to think about other things.

……

Time flies. About half an hour later.

The blacksmiths from earlier hurried over, carrying in their hands a few distillation tools that even had a hint of steam.

These tools are also simple to say, just a huge one. The pot is in the shape of a large pot with a diameter of one meter, but the pot is divided into two layers, the inner layer is relatively narrow, but the outer layer occupies two-thirds of the entire pot.

In addition to this pot, there is also a large iron lid for the iron pot, which looks very heavy.

The second piece is a slender awl-like thing, and there is a thin groove in the middle of the awl, which seems to be used for drainage.

The rest of the things are more common, nothing more than an iron pipe and a big iron spoon.

"Lord Wang, it's done, it's ......" Liu Li's face was full of excitement, his forehead was covered with sweat, and even the thin cloth clothes on his body were wet.

Li Yuanba stood up, walked to Liu Li and a few other blacksmiths, took a closer look at the distillation tools, raised his feet and walked out, and at the same time ordered: "Someone, someone...... Go and get the firewood ready for this king! By the way, and the wine, also for the king to move into the courtyard......"

"Pedal ......"

The slightly messy footsteps remembered that all the soldiers in the courtyard were busy, carrying wine and chopping wood, looking like they were in full swing.

"Lord Wang, what are you doing here?"

Li Ji couldn't understand it, he was moving firewood and wine, didn't he even have a cauldron, are you sure it's not a banquet?

Soon, the yard was already full of firewood, and according to Li Yuanba's order, it was made into the shape of a stove. And the fifty jars of fine wine were also moved from other courtyards, and one jar was opened, and poured into the largest container on the other side.

When the last few tools were linked together by Li Yuanba, he turned to the soldiers who were busy on one side and said, "Light the fire!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, someone immediately lit the firewood under the large container, and the most difficult distillation tools were ready, and it was only a matter of time before the distillation was raised.

"Crackling ......"

The fire was raised, and the firewood kept making a sound in the firelight, and after a while, the lees that could be left in the vessel began to heat up gradually, and the grain and alcohol in the vessel were heated and turned into gas, and then when it met the cold lid on the vessel, it began to slowly condense into a pale yellow liquid.

The liquid thickened and dripped down a slender awl into a large iron spoon.

Immediately afterwards, a thin, thick beige liquor flowed out of the iron pipe set at the end of the iron spoon, and was caught by the sprinkler jar that had been prepared long ago.

"Well, what a smell, it's so fragrant!"

As the liquor was caught by the jar, a strong aroma of wine suddenly spread in the courtyard. The people who watched this scene quietly in the courtyard were all veteran oilers, and there was no one who was not good at drinking when he was a soldier.

At this moment, smelling the rich aroma of wine, Li Ji and the generals shook their noses, and they all looked at the wine jar with a greedy look like an old drunkard! (To be continued......)
