Chapter 091 Secrecy Measures
"Uncle, what exactly are you painting?"
The next day, two little girls, Qin'er and Qi'er, held some drawings Qin Yong gave them and asked Qin Yongdao confused.
"This is a tool for making wine! By the way, are the blacksmiths here?"
Qin Yongshuo moved his shoulders and said a little tiredly.
These drawings are actually sketches he made with charcoal, and the contents are naturally diagrams of several equipment for making that kind of distilled liquor!
These utensils were all his own ideas! Although, even in later generations, he had not seen the specific manufacturing process of distilled liquor, but he understood this principle, so he quickly followed his own instructions
I conceived and drew the specific utensils.
Of course, whether these appliances are practical or not has not been verified in practice. However, Qin Yong guessed that they should be almost the same. If they really can't be used, the worst thing they can do is to improve them after they are made!
Isn't it just to let ordinary water and wine boil and evaporate, and then collect the water vapor to condense it into water again, and then you can get distilled wine with higher purity? - This principle is actually very simple, and the important thing is just that
The process of collecting water vapor, so Qin Yong designed it.
"Here we come! But, uncle, do you really want to meet them one by one?"
Qin'er and Qi'er still asked uncertainly. In fact, in this era, the status of blacksmiths and carpenters was not very high!
Especially for wealthy families like the Qin family, they usually have several blacksmiths or carpenters in their own homes to facilitate their internal needs! However, although these blacksmiths or carpenters are craftsmen, they are not important in society.
Their status is not much different from that of ordinary servants. Therefore, if Qin Yong, the eldest young master, wants to meet them, it is just a matter of summoning them to come together and talk to them as usual. If he meets them one by one, that will be terrible.
It's really "promoting" them.
"certainly!"
"All right!"
After receiving a positive reply from Qin Yong, two little girls, Qin'er and Qi'er, also went out to make arrangements, and soon brought in the first blacksmith.
"May I have your name?"
"Reporting to the young master, the younger one's name is Niu Er..."
"Niu Er?"
Qin Yong was stunned when he heard this name, because in his Qin family, male servants with a slightly higher status can be given the surname Qin, but he did not expect that the blacksmith in front of him still had his own surname!
This also shows that the status of this blacksmith in the Qin family is indeed not high! Otherwise, he should be called Qin Er!
However, these matters had nothing to do with Qin Yong's current questioning, so he quickly put them behind him and continued: "Okay, Niu Er. You should take a look at this drawing first." After that,
, Qin Yong asked Qi'er to hand a drawing to Niu Er.
"Eh? This... what is this... I'll tell you, young master, I'm sorry for my blindness, but... I can't recognize this thing!"
When Niu Er saw the pattern on the drawing, he was first surprised, and then said with a look of shame.
Speaking of which, he has been a blacksmith for decades. During these years, he has never made any kitchen knives, iron pots, hoes, shovels, etc.?
But he just couldn't recognize the object in front of him! However, he did not doubt the authenticity of the object, because he could clearly feel from the pictures on the paper that this object was
It's definitely not simple.
"Oh! It doesn't matter, I just want to ask you if you can build it?"
Qin Yong thought in his heart, it would be strange if you would recognize this thing! After all, this was designed by himself, and the idea was also derived from the physics principles of later generations, so he had never seen it before.
It couldn't be more normal! But if he had seen it before, it would be strange, because doesn't that mean that he might also be an awesome time traveler?
"Create it? That's no problem! But, Master, what is the use of this object you want to create?"
Niu Er took the drawing and looked at it again, raised his head and asked doubtfully.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about what's the use! Anyway, just help me type it out, and it must meet the specifications! As long as you do it, Master, I will not treat you badly!" Qin Yong was very happy to hear this.
said.
It turned out that what he was most worried about before this was actually whether the technical level of blacksmiths in this era could meet his requirements. After all, the most important thing about his entire set of equipment for distilling liquor was the sealing! Although it does not necessarily have to be
It’s so tight that it won’t leak in future generations, but you can’t let it leak into slits anyway, right? If that’s the case, then you might as well stop steaming it. Otherwise, all the steam will be gone by then. Where will you get it from?
What about distilled spirits?
Of course, it's not that he didn't think of remedies, because in this era, in addition to the blacksmith, there was also a carpenter! And his set of equipment can also be made of wood, but in terms of effect, it
It is much worse than one made of iron, because its cooling ability is really poor. And if the cooling is not good, it will be difficult for water vapor to condense back into water! So the efficiency is estimated to be much worse.
However, these problems do not exist now, because an old blacksmith like Niu Er has fully met his requirements!
However, one more thing that needs to be done is that he must ensure the uniqueness of this drawing and never let it spread! And this is the reason why Qin Yong asks to meet each blacksmith individually, because he is the one who will
The entire set of equipment is divided into several equal parts, and each person is only responsible for making the part he designated! So even if someone bribes one of the blacksmiths in the future, they will not be able to get a complete picture of the entire still.
Yes! Unless, he can buy off all the blacksmiths!
However, Qin Yong would not let such a thing happen! Because when he planned to create that kind of distilled wine, he had completely thought of the confidentiality measures!
