Chapter 163: Sprinkling carbon dioxide
"Gannyen?"
Mo couldn't help scratching his head and wondered: "The chief said not long ago that this tangerine cannot be made into wine. Did you hear it wrong?"
Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "You heard it right, the chief said it was Gan Ning."
"Okay!" said Mo: "I'll ask someone to pick it now."
This tangerine is actually a kind of fruit. Because of the fact that citrus and lemons, Li Qi asked him to name it tangerine. The juice was very sour and it would fall off after taking a bite. Li Qi originally hoped to make wine because there were many such fruit trees, but the result was that Li Qi was very disappointed and could not make wine at all. Therefore, he just prepared some dry skin as seasoning.
During this period, Li Qi pressed the newly shipped fruit, added yeast, and put it aside to wait for fermentation.
After finishing all this, Mo also brought the tangerine there!
The oranges are as big as lemon, but they look like lemons. The peel is green, and the green ones are very thorough.
Li Qi first cut the orange tangerine into slices, then put it in cold water with the crushed tooth grass, and plug it with a wooden plug. He had already found wood suitable for making the slug and wine barrels in front of him, but there is no mature wooden barrel process yet, so Li Qi is too lazy to do it for the time being. Anyway, the customer has just tasted the wine, so he can slowly upgrade the taste, and there is no need to be done in one step.
After a while, he came to the lake with the bottle, shook the bottle violently, and then pulled out the cork.
A puff sound!
A column of water was sprayed out from the mouth of the bottle.
After seeing this, Li Qi couldn't help but laugh. It's really easy to get it!
In fact, what he made was soda, and sodium bicarbonate was baking soda. However, it was very difficult to produce baking soda in the current process. He did not expect that tooth grass actually contained sodium bicarbonate, which was definitely edible. tooth grass was just very unpalatable, but it was not toxic. When sodium bicarbonate neutralized the acidic substances, carbon dioxide would be released and bubbles would be produced.
Carbon dioxide is coming out, but we still have to look at the taste.
"Oh... it's inconvenient for the farmer to be away."
Whenever this happened, Li Qi missed the Nong infinitely. Although he had a poison test needle, he now became increasingly unbelievable in the test needle because he believed that there must be many toxins that were not available in later generations. But now there is no way, he still took out the poison test needle and tried it. Only when he saw that it was not toxic did he taste it.
"Wow! What does this taste like! Bah bah bah bah!"
Li Qi almost didn't spit it out. The taste of tooth grass was originally very irritating, and the tangerine was extremely sour. Although the two were neutralized and the acidity was not so strong, the irritating taste of tooth grass did not weaken at all. When the two were mixed together, they had an indescribable taste. In short, it was very difficult to drink.
So he tried it with sugar. Although it added some sweetness, it still couldn't hide the taste of tooth grass.
"The smell of this tooth grass is a little too domineering."
Li Qi was frowning for a moment. He thought for a long time and had no idea. However, this little setback would not make him give up soda, because if he could produce soda, it would temporarily make up for the shortcomings of the wine. So he casually looked through the information. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and said, "What I want is carbon dioxide, not to hope to make delicious soda with the taste of tooth grass. This sodium bicarbonate is colorless and tasteless. It can be seen that the irritating taste does not come from sodium bicarbonate, and sodium bicarbonate is dissolved in water...soluble in water."
After he repeated the words several times, he suddenly got up and came under the big tree and shouted, "Old Tong!"
The old general hurriedly got up and asked respectfully: "What's wrong with the chief?"
Li Qi said: "Have you ever seen dry tooth grass?"
The old general was stunned for a moment and then said, "I've seen it, I've seen it."
Li Qi asked again: "Is the dried tooth grass a layer of white powder on the outside?"
Lao Tong thought for a while and said, "It's a bit white, but I don't know if it's powder."
As expected! Li Qi said in his heart, thinking that the sodium bicarbonate will decompose when heated, and it is definitely not possible to heat it quickly. There is currently no basic equipment, so it seems that it can only be separated by drying.
Although it is impossible to make the soda you want immediately, Li Qi is still very confident in food.
......
Hump!
"Taba!"
When the chicken boy saw Taba, he immediately ran over excitedly, put one hand on Taba's shoulder, and said excitedly: "Taba, I didn't expect you to come too!"
Taba seemed to have not come out of the shock yet and stuttered: "I...I...we are here to learn."
The Nong also came over and said curiously: "What are you studying?"
Taba said: "Learn everything...this...this kingdom is amazing, it's so amazing!"
Any human suddenly enters Niu Tuo, which is absolutely no different from traveling through time and space. Anything can shock them.
"It's true, this Niu Tuofeng has many interesting places, such as the love hall. Unfortunately, Taba, you are old, otherwise I will take you to have fun." Chicken laughed loudly.
Fortunately, Taba has no self-esteem in this regard. If it were Li Qi, he would have to kick this guy to death. Even if you are talented, you can't insult others like this!
Qin behind Taba suddenly asked, "Chicken prostitute, where is the love hall?"
Chicken said, "It's the place where you mate, hehe, women can go too."
Qin asked, "Then have you taken Xiaobai there?"
"Of course not. Just Xiaobai's body, take Xiaobai to that place, wouldn't he kill him?" As he said that, Chicken sighed. He always regarded Xiaobai as his brother, but unfortunately this brother could not accompany him to the love hall. This is really a great regret in life.
Qin glanced at him sideways and asked again: "Where is Xiaobai?"
Nong said: "Xiaobai is talking about the transaction at the Trade Hall."
Chicken said proudly: "Xiaobai is amazing now, and many races are competing to treat him to a meal."
A hint of joy flashed in Qin's eyes and said, "Is that true?"
"What am I lying to you for? Let's take you to our human courtyard first."
They already have their own small courtyard here, and it is impossible for them to always live in the trade hall.
......
Trading Hall!
"well...!"
Hei Yang Jiuzhen sighed and said, "Although the wine shipped this time is much more than the last time, don't forget that we have to give it to other guild halls and hungry shops. We don't have much left."
Aries Xiuwen said: "President, let's just give them 30% of the wine. Currently, wine is so expensive, 30% is already a lot!"
Hei Yang Jiuzhen narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "No, give them 60%."
"Sixty percent?"
Aries Xiuwen said in surprise: "President, why do you do this?"
Hei Yang Jiuzhen said: "I promised to give them 40% of the wine at the beginning, but now I give them 60% of the wine. Do you think they will still blame me?"
Aries Xiuwen said in confusion: "We give them 40% as promised, and they will not blame us."
Hei Yang Jiuzhen said: "Did you forget that I just said I gave up a lot of money to them, but I didn't reach an agreement with each of their hungry shops. I gave up 60%. They will definitely not defend me anymore. Those large halls must have much, but will the owners of those hungry shops agree?"
Aries Xiuwen suddenly realized, "Does the president want to use this to differentiate them?"
Hei Yang Jiuzhen nodded and said, "And the customer knows that I gave up 60% of it and gave it to other hungry shops, so he won't complain that I will sell it for limited quantities. After all, not every royal family has the money to go to our trading hall every day."
Although Hei Yang Jiuzhen is a kind of approachable person, he is a producer after all. He can be gentle and elegant without any interests. However, once interests are involved, he will of course focus on interests. Since this money can be made by his family, why should he share it with other families?
.....
According to the results of the last negotiation, the guild would have to give up 40% of the shares to other guilds and hungry shops this time.
Therefore, as soon as the wine arrived, the traders from the major halls and hungry shops came to the door immediately.
Now they all know the power of this wine, and they also know that this wine will be indispensable in the future.
Heiyang Jiuzhen gave up 60% of the shares very readily to them.
This made the traders very excited. They had no complaints about Heiyang Jiuzhen, and no longer thought that Heiyang Jiuzhen wanted to take over the entire market. However, after the negotiations with Heiyang Jiuzhen, they immediately started a fight.
......
Zhongwei Club!
"What did you say? Average score?" Bai Lu Jinjin slapped the table suddenly, stood up, and said, "In this Niu Tuofeng, besides the trade hall, it is the largest of my Zhongwei Hall. Humph, if it weren't for the Black Sheep Jiuzhen's luck and met Li Qi, it would not be certain who will be the first Niu Tuofeng guild in the future. In the small shops, why should we make an average score with us, we would have to account for at least 40% of them."
His trader Aries, Aries, said: "Sister Jinjin, it is very difficult for us to account for 40% of the situation, and we can only strive for 20% at most."
"It must be 40%. Even if we get 40% of them, it is far less than the trade hall." Bai Lu said glaringly.
Aries frowned slightly and said, "Sister Jinjin, don't get angry first. I think this is not simple!"
Bai Lu Jin Jin glanced at him and said, "What's not simple?"
Aries said: "I suspect that this was done by Black Sheep Jiuzhen on purpose, and the purpose was to hope that we would have internal strife."
Bai Lu Jinjin was stunned when she heard this, then slowly sat down and said, "You are right. This must be the conspiracy of Black Sheep Jiuzhen. His plan is really vicious. He took out 60% of it so that we all put our guard against him and made it difficult for us to unite. His purpose is to deal with our Zhongwei Club. If we agree to share it equally with other hungry shops, then we will suffer a great loss. But if we don't agree, Black Sheep Jiuzhen will succeed. Do you have a way to deal with it?"
Aries bent his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "The Black Sheep Jiuzhen's move is really insidious and makes us in a dilemma. I think it is very difficult to take advantage of him. However, the root of this matter is not in the trade hall, nor in us, but in..."
Bai Lu Jinjin said: "Huaxia Alliance."
"Yes." Bai Yangmou nodded.
Bai Lu Jinjin said: "It's a pity that this is not a human talent at all. We caught those people and didn't even know how to make a fire. Li Qi had signed a contract with Hei Yang Jiuzhen, so we couldn't buy wine from the Huaxia Alliance."
Aries said: "Sister Jinjin, that human beings are just third-class races."
Bai Lu Jinjin was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Aries thought, "Since we can't get it, we can't let Hei Yang Jiuzhen get it, otherwise our Zhongwei Guild Hall will close sooner or later."
Bai Lu thought for a while and sighed, "I haven't thought about this. Although our kingdom does not control the hunting of third-class races very strictly, our Niu Tuofeng is very protective of the interests of other races. If we hunt humans on such a large scale, the Peak Lord will not sit idly by, and other races will not come to us again. By then, we may find it difficult to stay at Niu Tuofeng."
Niutufeng is located on the border and is far inferior to the central area in material terms. It is maintained entirely by trade. Without trade, many royal families will not be willing to come here. So whoever does something unfavorable to trade is an enemy of all the royal families of Niutufeng. Many of the royal families of Niutufeng are public offices, and their wages come from taxes. The unicorn fury will never let him go. You are going to push our Niutufeng into an abyss that will never be restored.
Aries thought: "Why can our royal family take action when dealing with mere humans?"
White Deer looked at Aries with a slanted look.
Aries said: "But if it were their second and third-class races fighting each other, our kingdom would generally not take action." At this point, he whispered: "As far as I know, the location of the Huaxia Alliance is not far from Luwu Mountain. We can let Gu Diao deal with the Huaxia Alliance,"
Bai Lu Jinjin seemed a little hesitant, "But this is going to spread..."
Aries betrayed and said, "We only need to let Gu Diao know that if we get the secret recipe of wine, we can get endless wealth. With Gu Diao's greedy personality, they will definitely deal with the Huaxia Alliance."
