The Nineteenth Princess was very depressed and came to Zhu Xiaobao's Cave Paradise to relax. Not to mention sitting on the observation deck and looking around, the feeling was really comfortable and it could really release the boredom in her heart!

"Xiaobao, how long will you continue to be busy? The fodder requested by King Ming is about to expire. You said you had a way to deal with it!" Princess Nineteen asked a little anxiously. There was no one else on the observation deck now.

, just the Nineteenth Princess and Zhu Xiaobao, and of course Wu Yue.

"Hmm, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill what I said. Not only will this errand of fodder be eliminated, but the food problem will also be solved for you!" Zhu Xiaobao said confidently.

"Well, if that's true, it would be great. We can't increase the tax burden now!" Princess Nineteen said a little depressed. This was the first time she and Xia Zixiu had quarreled. Princess Nineteen felt very sad.

Xia Zixiu didn't seem to be as capable as he thought. I really hoped that he could turn the tide, but he always relied on the Nineteenth Princess to get by, and it seemed to be like this again this time.

"Princess, don't worry, City Lord Xia has nothing to do. Why doesn't he have a think tank like Xiaobao by his side?" Wu Yue comforted her, sounding a little proud no matter how she sounded.

"Yueyue, you finally said something very objective and fair. Can you consider marrying me next?" Zhu Xiaobao raised his thumb and said with great satisfaction.

"Go away! Who wants to marry you? I still have the same requirement. You can lead troops to fight, and mount horses to kill enemies. Can you do that?" Wu Yue snorted disdainfully, but looked at Zhu Xiaobao again, for fear of him.

Not happy.

"I can kill the enemy without mounting a horse! Do you believe it? Do you want to compete?" Zhu Xiaobao raised his head and said.

"Hi! Your shooting skills? I really don't believe it. Shouldn't someone tie you to a tree and let you shoot? Don't bring out these opportunistic things! Stay behind me.

, I... will protect you!" Although Wu Yue was a little disdainful, she became more and more serious in the end. Zhu Xiaobao didn't know any martial arts at all. She was really worried. The last time she faced the high-speed rail

Hua has already made Wu Yue very upset. If something happens to Zhu Xiaobao, she really doesn't know what to do.

"Okay, let's talk about something happy! The 150,000 pieces of toilet paper I gave to the seventh sister have been sold out. The seventh sister has sent one thousand five hundred taels of silver this time! The seventh sister also attached a letter.

, let’s raise the price to three taels of silver per dollar. She sells it for five taels of silver per dollar.” Princess Nineteen said with some joy.

"Ah? This seventh princess is a ruthless person. She has doubled her income five times in a sudden? Then doesn't she earn much more than you?" Zhu Xiaobao was stunned immediately. There was nothing he couldn't do, only he couldn't think of it.

The Seventh Princess really dares to raise a price!

"Well! Her fiefdom is very prosperous, and there are many rich people, so of course she has no worries about sales! Xiaobao, you really need to increase your production next!" Princess Nineteen said with some fascination, when will she be able to be like this?

Like the seventh sister, she has her own fiefdom, and it is also a very prosperous fiefdom.

"Hey! Is this the purpose of the princess coming to my place?" Zhu Xiaobao suddenly understood that the 19th princess was not here to relax, but to add tasks to herself!

"You are the only one who is smart! Okay, it's time for me to leave. Anyway, you can solve my problem as soon as possible!" Princess Nineteen's face turned slightly red and she said angrily.

"Yes! Then please ask the princess to help me resolve my matter as soon as possible!" Zhu Xiaobao bent down and said with a smile as before.

"What's going on?" Princess Nineteen asked a little surprised.

"Who do I want?" I don't have anyone here yet!" Zhu Xiaobao's expression became even more exaggerated.

"Hmph! Didn't I ask Wu Yue to help you choose! Well, didn't you just compete with Wu Yue in archery? Well, you can beat Wu Yue, you can choose the person you want! If you can't win,

Wu Yue, haha, then I will arrange the guards, so you can use them without worry! How about it? Is it fair?" The city bureau princess said with a sly smile. In fact, she really didn't want Zhu Xiaobao to have his own

Instead, she wanted to arrange the escorts and replace them with a new batch over time. In this case, it would still be her own people.

"Huh? Compared with range or precision? It seems that I am at a disadvantage compared with anything else?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaobao's eyes rolled around, and then he asked.

"It's up to you to choose! Of course I won't let you suffer. When the time comes, I'll give you a few points in any competition. I'll give you fifty steps for the shooting range. For accuracy, I'll give you three arrows out of ten!" The princess seemed to be very fair!

said.

"Okay! It's a deal! Yueyue, you have to let me go when the time comes? After all, we are probably a family!" Zhu Xiaobao looked at Wu Yue and said.

"Humph! Don't think about cheating. I know Wu Yue's archery skills better than you, and I can also take action myself!" Princess Nineteen calmly turned around and left. She was not worried about the archery competition, she was an absolute master of archery.

Master!

Seeing the Nineteenth Princess and Wu Yue gradually walking away, Zhu Xiaobao murmured to himself with an evil smile: "It is necessary to be able to shoot long and accurately! I am a real man! Although I am short,

On point!”

…

At this time, the red sorghum that had been sealed in the barrels some time ago had been fermented! Tong Wuxin was leading people to lift up the barrels one by one and sent them to the large processing workshop south of the blessed land, where all the little treasures had already been

Some necessary equipment has been processed, mainly equipment for distillation. In fact, the reason why liquor has a high alcohol content is because the concentration of alcohol is increased through distillation. After cooling, what is obtained is liquor!

Tong Wuxin sent the four old men to help Zhu Xiaobao, as well as Tong Wuxin and Jumei. The others and Zhu Xiaobao were of no use for the time being.

There are large pots on each of the several oversized earth stoves. The water at the bottom of the pot is water from the cave. The texture of this water is very good. It is not hot spring water, but seeps out from the top of the mountain along the cracks in the rocks.

Pure and sweet, it can be said to be the perfect water quality for wine making.

Spread a layer of steamed coarse bran on the compartment, and sprinkle part of the steamed coarse bran into the fermented grains to loosen the fermented grains, facilitate the circulation of steam during distillation, and improve the distillation efficiency. Sprinkle the fermented fermented fermented grains evenly on the compartment.

Make it light, loose, even, thin, accurate, and tight. After loading, close the lid of the wine steamer, fill the water seal tank with water, and start distillation.

Distilled wine takes advantage of the different boiling points of alcohol and water. Alcohol has a low boiling point. As long as the temperature is controlled well, after the vaporized alcohol is cooled by cooling water, it will be reduced to wine. This is distilled wine with a high degree of alcohol.

Control the flow of cooling water to ensure that the temperature of the wine is 20-25°C. If the temperature of the wine is too high, the wine will volatilize and the output will decrease; if the temperature of the wine is too low, low-boiling point substances cannot volatilize and the quality will be poor.

During the whole process, Zhu Xiaobao's face was full of nervousness. He only had theoretical knowledge, and this was his first time to practice. But Zhu Xiaobao had an advantage. He had seen the process of making homemade liquor at a relative's house when he was studying, and he didn't expect it.

It actually played a very crucial role here.

Tong Wuxin and several family members next to him were also a little nervous. They didn't understand Zhu Xiaobao's purpose of doing this, and they had never seen this kind of distillation equipment, but gradually a scent of wine that they had never smelled before began to fill the air.

Into the processing workshop.

Water began to drip from the wine outlet of the distillation equipment, but the wine that just came out was a bit mixed and had some impurities. Zhu Xiaobao knew that this was the first wine and contained harmful substances such as formaldehyde, so he usually discarded it!

But I didn't expect that Jumei next to me took it and drank it. While drinking, she kept shouting: "This is delicious!"

"Just stay here! Who told you to drink?" Zhu Xiaobao suddenly became anxious and quickly grabbed the wine can, shouting loudly.

"Can't you drink it? It smells good to me!" Tong Wuxin also wanted to try it, but she was not as reckless as Jumei.

"This is the first wine. It has an evil smell and is harmful! So you can't drink it!" Zhu Xiaobao explained. After a while, the water that came out became crystal clear and the aroma of the wine overflowed. This was what he needed.

Liquor.

"Ah! It's much better than what I brought back last time!" Tong Wuxin couldn't help but take a bite and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, your wine tastes bad. I guess it's because the temperature was not controlled correctly during distillation. The temperature was too low, so the wine came out with many impurities and poor taste. There must also be something wrong with his distillation equipment and processing process!"

Zhu Xiaobao also took a sip himself, but he felt it was normal, that is, the alcohol content was relatively high, probably over 50 degrees. The entrance was dry and strong, like fire, and it had the characteristics of burning a knife. But it was definitely not a good wine.

standards.

But it was the first time that he could reach this level, and Zhu Xiaobao was already satisfied! He quickly packed the jars and sealed them with Du Ping and others. Three thousand kilograms of sorghum, excluding the head wine and tail wine, gave a total of more than one thousand three hundred kilograms.

Liquor. The wine jars he used were two pounds each, so 680 small wine jars were used.

When Zhu Xiaobao and the others finished their work, they found that Jumei had passed out drunk, with saliva still in her mouth, and a small wine jar in her hand. Just kidding, of course she can't carry two kilograms of 50-degree liquor.

Stop! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head helplessly, feeling that he had made a big mistake by leaving Jumei behind!

"Come here! Go and invite the princess here, tell her that I, Zhu Xiaobao, are inviting her to drink, and I have already solved her problem for her!" Zhu Xiaobao shouted with a very charming wave of his hand.

However, no one responded. Ying Xiuxiu and the other three were busy processing toilet paper! There was Jumei, a servant next to him, who was also drunk. This made Zhu Xiaobao very depressed and kicked Jumei angrily.

He kicked and ran out of the processing workshop.

"Xiaobao! What's going on? What kind of wine is this? It smells so good?" Wu Lijia, who followed the aroma of the wine, appeared in front of her. She is a good drinker, so when she smelled the tempting aroma of the wine, she

She couldn't help but look for it anymore. This seemed to be the smell she had been looking for.

"Come! Sister, burn the knife and try it! Be careful of getting drunk!" Zhu Xiaobao said as he handed over a small wine jar.

Wu Lijia almost laughed out loud. It was really rare to see such a small bottle of wine! And Zhu Xiaobao also reminded himself not to get drunk, so this made her very funny.

But when she pulled the cork out of the bottle, she was immediately excited by a strong drink. She took a big sip and felt that it was burning from top to bottom, but she felt it was so strong that she couldn't help but want to drink it for the third time.
Chapter completed!
