What Tang Yi wants to do is a simple still. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soaking wine with willow bark, the Song people only have about ten degrees of light wine, at least to reach the level of fifty or sixty degrees in later generations, which requires secondary distillation on the basis of Song wine.

Of course, making a still is not just for making medicinal wine, Tang Tang has some other ideas, which can also be realized through distillation.

After dancing and describing for a long time in Hu Ji Iron Shop, Hu Blacksmith finally figured out what Tang Yi was going to do.

In fact, it is a large pot lid with a tube attached.

Tang Yi asked that the longer the pipe, the better, and it is best to make a spiral in the middle section to increase the length of the pipe. Then add an iron water tank to the middle of the long pipe, and let the pipe pass through the box.

Blacksmith Hu pondered for a long time before he said, "If you get it like this, it's not difficult, but you can't use iron pipes." As he spoke, he glanced left and right, leaned into Tang Yi's ear, and lowered his voice, "This has to use a copper pipe." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "The copper pipe is better, just do it." Something went wrong, and the kid was in his pocket. ”

The Northern Song Dynasty was extremely short of copper, so the government strictly forbade the people to melt copper casters. However, there are policies and countermeasures, and the matter of copper melting is still repeatedly banned. After a long time, as long as no one deliberately reported it, the government will turn a blind eye.

Blacksmith Hu pointed at Tang Yi, "That's what you said." ”

"I said it!"

"Come and get it in three days."

Tang Yi had no choice, just waiting for three days to get the finished product.

.....

The next day, God finally felt that there were too many sunny days, and began to rain lightly.

It was originally scheduled to transfer the wine shop with Zhang Quanan today, but as soon as it rained, Tang Yi was reluctant to go out. Thinking about it, it's already decided anyway, and it makes no difference if it's a day earlier or a day later. But Zhang Quanfu didn't do it, and he had to transfer the winery over even in the rain, for fear that something would happen.

He is looking forward to the early launch of new wines and making a lot of money.

After waiting for another two days, the sky has been gloomy and not clear, and from time to time a little light rain will be sprinkled. On the third day, Blacksmith Hu finally made what Tang Yi wanted.

Tang Yi looked over and was quite satisfied, the lid of the pot was made according to the size of a four-foot cauldron, plus the bulge was one foot high, and a copper pipe hammered down from the top of the lid was three feet long, which looked really not small.

"Don't look at it and it looks like it's only three feet, but it's actually all coiled together, and it's straightened up to seven feet, Da Lang is still satisfied?"

Blacksmith Hu was not without pride, and this pipe alone took him two days. But in Dengzhou City, there is no blacksmith who can do the work so quickly.

Tang Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Go back and ask Ma Bo to send you the money." After saying that, he went to hire a big car, pulled this strange-looking thing out of the city, and went straight to Yanhe Distillery.

After Zhang Quanfu transferred the Yanhe Wine Factory, Tang Yi simply lived here in the past few days. Anyway, there is still a period of time before Ma Dawei's wedding, and the furniture in the backyard of the wine shop is also readily available.

When he arrived at the wine shop, Tang Yi asked the guy who pulled the cart to help him sit the lid of the strange pot on the cauldron, and it was completed.

The still sounds very lofty, but in fact the principle and operation are extremely simple.

Tang Yi just made the lid of the pot by Blacksmith Hu and put it on the cauldron, and then spread a layer of damp cloth along the edge of the cauldron and the lid to prevent air leakage, and then it was time to start the fire and cook the wine.

The so-called distillation method is operated according to the difference in the boiling point of the substances in the vessel.

The boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, so the alcohol is vaporized before the water, and the alcohol vapor is exported from the tube on the lid. When passing through the long tube, it is cooled by water through the water in the tank, liquefied again, and then flows out of the other end of the tube, which is a pure liquor.

The four-foot-diameter cauldron was filled with light wine, and it took a whole morning to steam for a small jar of high wine. Tang Yi tasted it, it was about forty degrees, which was barely enough.

As for the sale of steamed high liquor? Tang Yi gave up this idea through this purification.

First, this practice of distilling finished liquor to improve the purity of alcohol is not efficient, and it costs a lot to mass produce.

Second, judging from his life experience for more than half a year, high-grade wine is not suitable for the taste of the Song people.

Spirits, the Great Song Dynasty is not nothing. The liquor made by the Liao people is about 20 degrees higher than that of Song wine, but the sales of Liao wine in Song are not very high. It can be seen that the Song people still like light wine, such as fruit wine, which has both a wine flavor and a fruity aroma, is more popular with the Song people.

After the strong wine is out of the pot, it is even easier to prepare the medicinal wine.

Chop the willow bark, put it into a cloth bag, put it in a clay pot, add liquor according to the ratio of one to two, boil the clay pot through water, seal and soak for three days, and remove the slag.

The medicinal liquor can be used to treat wind paralysis, detoxification, swelling, and pain relief.

You can't use it right away. Tang Yi had to put it aside, wait a few days and send it to Yin Su, and then see how it works.

Look at the hour, it's almost noon, and Ma Dawei should also come to deliver food.

Sure enough, not long after, Ma Dawei came to Yanhe Wine Shop with a food box, and there was another person who came with him, Fan Chunli.

Three days ago, Fan Zhongyan went to Zhulian Mountain, a hundred miles away from Dengzhou, to exterminate the bandits, but he has not returned. Fan Chunli took advantage of his father's absence to completely herd the sheep, and ran to Tang Yi every day for the past two days, and came in the rain yesterday.

Tang Yi knew in his heart that it was useless to learn this thing or not, and he couldn't pass the exam anyway. In the end, he still relied on Fan Zhongyan's reputation to get a cute official, and this product is not a piece of material for learning.

After the three of them had lunch, Ma Dawei went back, and Fan Chunli was arrested by Tang Yi.

Tang Yi took a dirt basket and stuffed it into Fan Chunli's arms.

"Come with me,"

"Why are you going?" Fan Chunli said in his heart, my son's hands don't touch the spring water, why did you become a coolie?

Tang Yi smiled, "Picking flowers." ”

"Picking flowers? Two old men, what kind of flowers do you pick? ”

"You can't be ....." Fan Chunli's eyes changed when he looked at Tang Yi, and he said in his heart, this can't be a problem with sexual orientation, right?

"Get out!" Tang Yi scolded angrily and went straight away.

Fan Chunli had no choice but to keep up.

The two of them walked out of the winery and walked along the Yanling River.

Although the Yanling River does not have the grandeur of a big river, it is meandering and beautiful, and the willows are sandwiched between the banks, which also has a unique appearance. It is early summer, the spring flowers are not twilight, the grass is fresh, and it adds to the beauty.

Fan Chunli looked at the beautiful scenery on the riverbank, but he had no intention of appreciating it, peeking at Tang Yi from time to time, and muttering in his heart.

This goods are traveling in a basket and saying that they want to pick flowers, how do you look at it, why doesn't it look like a man doing it?

Walking and walking, it has been more than two miles, the flat land on the riverbank is gorgeous, only to see a large area of wildflowers spread all over the riverbank, colorful, it is very good-looking.

Tang Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, which made Fan Chunli even more apprehensive.

Take out two pairs of scissors from the basket and hand one to Fan Chunli, "As long as the moon season flowers, start drying!" ”

Ga! Fan Chunli watched Tang Yi walk into the flowers in a daze.

"Why are you still stunned!?" Tang Yi saw that he didn't move, "Hurry up and work, you have to pick a basket before dinner, otherwise there will be no food!" ”

....

Fan Chunli had a bitter face, looking at the huge basket in his arms, and felt like crying.

How long will it take to get such a big basket filled with such small petals? It seems that tomorrow cannot come.

....

Two days later.

In the backyard kitchen of Yanhe Wine Factory, the steam was swirling, and Tang Yi's busy figure loomed. And Fan Chunli, who was on the edge of the river rock, was leaning on an old willow tree and half-lying, closing his eyes and recuperating, holding a straw stick in his mouth, indescribably comfortable.

What a beautiful day! Fan Chunli thought leisurely.

The tender grass is the mat, the old trees are the shade, the water is the wind, and the fragrance of flowers greets the nose. In the scorching early summer, taking a cool break by the Yanling River is much more comfortable than holding the sage's learning at home.

Fan Zhongyan hasn't come back yet, so he is naturally comfortable for a day, counting it as a day. As for whether to eat the board after coming back, that's a matter for later, and we'll talk about it then.

was comfortable, but saw Tang Yi peeking out of the kitchen and shouted: "It's almost, get up the Internet café!" ”

"Derre!"

Fan Chunli jumped up smartly, jumped to the water's edge in two steps, grabbed a straw rope hanging on a wooden branch, lifted it vigorously, and along the straw rope, a net cage was lifted up from the water.

As the cage came out of the water, the cage was stunned and splashed, and a cage full of fish, shrimp, grass and crabs fled in all directions, but they were trapped in the cage and couldn't find a way out.

Fan Chunli ran to the kitchen with the cage and shouted to Tang Yi excitedly: "You have gained a lot, your method is really amazing!" ”

.......

Tang Yi smiled slightly, glanced at the harvest in the cage, and then ignored it.

This simple ground cage stuffy net is just for Fan Chunli to pass the time and play around, there is nothing new.

And what he is waiting for by the stove to come out of the pot is the real good thing.
