Brothers’ monthly tickets are indeed very powerful. I just saw that they had already exploded two in a row, and they have risen to the ninth category of monthly tickets. Well, let’s keep our word and add one chapter first. If the ninth place is not yet broken, then let’s continue to update the second chapter! Brothers, and those who have monthly tickets voted, they bite too tightly, don’t get exploded again!

Zhang Chao wanted to make wine very early, but unfortunately he didn't dare to touch him before. Now that he has the opportunity, he has to do it.

Wine is a good thing, not only a drink, but also has many other functions, such as alcohol that can be used as medical products.

How to steam white wine? This is not difficult. Later rural people will also make their own wine. Glutinous rice wine, sorghum wine, corn wine, and even sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potatoes.

Zhang Chao’s family used to brew glutinous rice wine. The brewing of glutinous rice wine is more complicated. You have to use glutinous rice and koji. After soaking the glutinous rice, steam it in a pot. After steaming, add the koji and fill it with a large pot, and then cover it with a grass cushion to let it ferment. When the wine is almost done, then transfer it from the wine pot to the wine barrel, add an appropriate amount of water, and ferment it again. When you get old for a long time, you can squeeze the wine out of the lees and it becomes rice wine.

At home, we usually steam the remaining lees of the squeezed wine, which is the white wine.

In the past, Zhang Chao's family brewed a lot of rice wine every year, and could steam a lot of white wine from the lees. When they were young, Zhang Chao liked steaming wine the most. Because every year when they steamed wine, they would cut a large piece of ham and then steam a pot of ham and glutinous rice at home. The fragrance is still unforgettable.

When brewing wine, when the glutinous rice is fermented for the first time, there is a sweet wine brew. At this time, the sweet wine brew is very sweet and mellow, but it is not intoxicating.

When the glutinous rice is added with water and fermented again, after a period of time, the water becomes sweet wine.

The difference between sweet wine and sweet wine is that it is mainly glutinous rice that has not yet fermented yet, and the other is that it is not old. Both are sweet but have different tastes. It is the most popular among children. It is not afraid of getting drunk after drinking it. It is the best drink at that time.

It takes at least one week to brew glutinous rice wine from soaking rice to pressing wine.

Zhang Chao doesn’t have that much time. What he needs now is liquor, high-quality liquor. Therefore, he directly asked Li Shiji to make a batch of rice wine. In fact, it would be OK if there were lees, but making a batch of lees in Liyang City is more troublesome than making a batch of rice wine.

It is also OK to distille rice wine directly into white wine, it is quite simple.

Zhang Chao recalled that when he used to steam wine at home, it seemed like water was putting in a pot, and there were empty wooden cereals on both ends, then added a barbecue and then put a pottery bowl on it, then put a clean iron pot on the top of the bucket, and sat cold water on it, and finally sealed the bucket and the pot on it with a wet cloth.

In this way, the fire is boiled in the stove and the water boils the lees in the heating barrel. Since the alcohol is more volatile, the concentration of the wine grain in the steam generated after heating increases, and the concentration of the wine grain in the original lees will decrease.

When the steam rises, it will condense when it encounters a pot with cold water sitting on top. Because the shape of the bottom of the pot will condense into the center of the bottom of the pot, it will become wine dripping into the collecting pot below, and it will become a white essence with higher alcohol content.

This farmer's distillation method is actually very simple and does not require any specific distiller.

But the same principle is the same as the distiller. The hot water at the bottom and the cold water above, the steam rises and cools to condense when it comes to cold water, and then falls below to collect.

The difference is that the still usually leaves a hole in the steamer, and the receiver in the bucket will be directly connected to the outside, so it only uses the wine to receive the liquid.

It only takes a simple change, very simple.

A stove, pot, steamer, bowl, and a few simple things can form a simple still. But such a simple still can distille rice wine of about 20 degrees into a high level of about 75 degrees.

Because Zhang Chao envied Cheng Chumo and others for being able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, he did not have the courage, so he asked Li Shiji that Cheng Chumo and others would be his assistant.

Li Shiji gave whatever he wanted. With a big stroke, several seventh-rank guards who were originally named as personal guards were transferred out of the combat team and directly pulled to Zhang Chao's wounded battalion.

Now Zhang Chao has renamed the wounded camp to a battlefield hospital.

This hospital houses all the wounded soldiers, which not only treats and cares, but also has some care functions. There are more than 1,000 minor and serious wounded people, twenty or thirty doctors and their apprentices, and two teams of government soldiers led by Zhang Chao, and 300 civilians.

In short, his team still has a lot of people, which is equivalent to a captain.

"Chumo, go find a blacksmith and create a batch of iron pots. If you want a large iron pot, just cook it according to the steaming room in my house." Zhang Chao waved to Cheng Chumo, who was a little listless.

"How many do you want?" Cheng Chumo was a little unhappy. He was still immersed in his dream of killing the enemy and making meritorious service. As a result, Zhang Chao directly transferred him here.

"Let's fight a dozen first." Zhang Chao didn't explain to him. The battlefield is very dangerous when this child just thinks about making meritorious contributions. Is it better to wait for you to exercise more, and I am afraid that I won't have the chance to go to the battlefield in the future?

Boy, I'm for your own good. If the eagle wants to spread its wings and soar, it has to take its time. The little tiger wants to go and play lions before it grows up. This is not seeking death. You have to practice your minions first.

"See the tiger, go with you."

It is not difficult to build stoves and make distiller tools such as large iron pots and wooden ceils. Li Yang is a large military camp, with all kinds of supplies, iron materials, wood, etc. There are also many craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, etc. With Li Shiji's orders, Zhang Chao can get all kinds of supplies and manpower in just one sentence.

People and things were delivered soon.

Li Shiji sent another group of 200 people to come, but the one who led the team was his brother-in-law Cui Yan.

"Master Li has an order to ask me to lead my team to protect the pharmaceutical workshop. From today on, anyone entering and leaving the workshop must undergo inspection. Anyone who dares to steal pharmaceutical secrets or leaks will be killed without mercy!"

Cui Yan was wearing bright armor, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, and said to the craftsmen in a fierce tone, the civilians said.

Zhang Chao smashed his tongue. It was obviously a steamed wine shop, but Li Shiji turned it into a military secret place and sent 200 people to guard it.

However, it was true that the antibiotic I used before was very effective, and no matter how much Li Shiji took it, it would not be too much.

"Congratulations to Goro, you have been promoted to the lieutenant."

Walking aside, the cold expression on Cui Yan's face also closed.

"I haven't congratulated you yet. You are already in the military. I was stationed outside the city, but I have heard that you have the ability to have the flesh and bones of the dead."

"Hey, I'm just driving the ducks to the shelves. I just have a little medicine left by my master. It just happens to be able to treat the symptoms. I don't have any skills."

"No matter what, I have to congratulate you. I heard that you offered a plow to the court last time and earned a founding man for Uncle Zhang. This time I will benefit you, otherwise I wouldn't have been promoted to the lieutenant so soon."

From a brigade commander with a hundred people to an infantry captain who commanded 200 people, this would have been more than one level. If it weren't for Zhang Chao's close relationship with Li Shiji and Qin Qiong and other superiors, he wouldn't have been promoted to a lieutenant all at once.

"Don't thank me, I heard that after Goro came to Hebei, he had already received several battles. His performance was remarkable. Your promotion was also due to your ability."

Cui Yan smiled. If there are more capable people, they may not be promoted, let alone so fast.

Cui Yan was very grateful to Zhang Chao, so he was very serious about his current task. Like Li Shiji, he believed that Zhang Chao's pharmacy was extremely important, and the pharmaceutical technology was exclusive to Zhang Chao, so people must not disclose it.

The steamed winery was finally built next to the wounded barracks, a large mansion with a yard, guarded by Cui Yan and a group of people on three floors outside and three floors.

Even if you enter and exit the Semi Mo, you have to carry a pass sign and a pass note given by Zhang Chao. You must carefully check the seal, signature and reasons on it.

What Cheng Chu could not stand the most was that his dignified Duke's legitimate son, a seventh-rank personal guard, was just taken back from the front line, but now every time he enters and leaves, he has to be stripped naked and searched.

Several protests were ignored by Cui Yan.

The young masters were so angry that they simply stopped going out and squatted beside Zhang Chao all day long.

"That's fine?"

Cheng Chumo watched Zhang Chao get the distiller set up.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the fire.

"Yeah, burn the fire."

On the grounds that the secret recipe for distilled liquor leaked, Zhang Chao regarded three seventh-grade personal guards as firemen.

Cheng Chumo lowered his head suddenly and could only sit by the stove and burn the fire.

In fact, it would be better to find a civilian simply by using these guys to burn fire, but Zhang Chao felt very comfortable when he was troubled by the three guys.

The water in the pot boiled, and the rice wine in Zhenli had steam. After the steam encountered the pot containing cold water on the pot above, it immediately cooled, condensed into water droplets, and then fell into the collector, and finally flowed out of the casing tube, dripping into the clay pot placed outside.

The strong aroma of wine permeates everywhere.

"It smells so good."

Three firemen kept sucking their noses.

"It's really delicious. Is this the soju that Saburo you mentioned?"

Zhang Chao smelled this smell, which was so familiar, it was good, it seemed that he was not wrong.

He nodded, "Yes, this is soju."

Niu Jianhu had long been unable to resist it. He had never seen the strong aroma of wine. Niu Jianhu liked to drink, and his family also had the conditions. He had drunk a lot of wine, whether from the Central Plains or from the Hu people in the Western Regions, but none of them had such a fragrance.

When Zhang Chao didn't pay attention, the guy just poured a cup with the bowl.

That cup doesn't have to be at least two taels.

This guy thought this soju wine was similar to ordinary rice wine, but it tasted more fragrant.

He drank two taels of wine in one sip, and then a fire rose from his abdomen and burned it to his throat.

Niu Jianhu's face turned red. He covered his throat and squatted to the ground.

"I, I'm going to die, I'm going to burn it. This soju is going to burn me to death."

Cheng Chumo and Li Gan were also going to pour wine, but they were so scared that their cups fell off when they saw this. They hurried to help the cow and see the tiger.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"This soju is poisonous!" Niu saw the monkey blushing like a monkey's butt, and his veins bulged, and he began to cough! To be continued.
Chapter completed!
