In the Five Emperors Temple, a strange-looking copper pot, surrounded by copper pipes like vines, is located in the middle of the open space.
"Why!"
Wang Fu was really speechless. In order to build this thing, he melted the one-legged bronze figure. All the income from business these days was also filled in, and finally it was successfully built in the blacksmith shop.
"I don't know when I will be able to master the skill of refining weapons?"
Ever since he learned that the mountain monster was fond of fine wine, Wang Fu had an idea in his mind.
This copper furnace is used to make distilled liquor, and it is also one of the most deadly weapons for time travellers, liquor.
To put it bluntly, he is a fairy hero, not someone who makes up history. Even if he knows the recipe for distilling liquor, he cannot use it to get promoted and make a fortune.
On the ground next to the copper stove, there are ten wine jars neatly placed. The aroma of wine is fragrant. This is the new seasonal shochu brewed this year, and it has not yet been covered with red cloth and yellow mud.
"Just think of it as a chemistry experiment."
As we all know, the essence of spirits is an aqueous solution with a high alcohol content.
Distilling alcohol means removing the water, leaving a more concentrated alcohol solution.
The higher the alcohol content, the more intoxicating it is, for example... water of life, vodka.
This large copper pot is a vessel for evaporating alcohol. The winding copper tubes are used for condensation, and finally the spirit is obtained that turns into fire in the mouth.
According to Wang Fu's idea, it's not for people to drink anyway, so don't worry about Yiguotou or Erguotou, just go with the most powerful one. He can't wait to make 100% pure alcohol.
It's a pity that the experimental conditions are not up to standard, so it can barely produce strong liquor.
"Shanji is addicted to alcohol, that's his weakness!"
While humming, Wang Fu began to lift the jar of wine, pour one jar into the jar, and then proceed step by step to light the fire for distillation.
Bone!
Sunset and moonrise, from day to night, Wang Fu always stared at the copper pipe, waiting for the droplets to fall.
The white air is billowing, the smoke is lingering, and the aroma of wine is coming to your nose.
"Ding dong!"
A drop of clear and transparent liquid fell into the sea bowl below.
The drinks finally started coming out.
Wang Fu waited until the bowl was almost full, picked it up and smelled it, and felt dizzy.
He simply clamped the wick of the oil lamp and put it into the bowl of the sea. A faint blue flame rose up and then burned steadily.
Wait until the alcohol has burned away, leaving a little water at the bottom of the bowl.
“It’s about 70-80% content, which is enough!”
It's not so much liquor, but rather alcohol, which is more than enough to disinfect wounds.
Wang Fu also knows that this set of distillation equipment is crude and belongs to the monkey version. It is enough to achieve such results.
The cost and energy spent on further purification is no longer cost-effective.
After putting in ten jars of wine, excluding the losses caused by evaporation and dripping, the jar was finally filled with a full jar of high-concentration spirits.
Wang Fu covered his face, this job is too rough, he would be embarrassed to tell anyone about it.
He didn't know yet that the Five Emperors Temple was filled with smoke and the smell of wine was lingering day and night. The residents of the town witnessed it and speculated on what kind of elixir he was refining.
"Little Master, in addition to cutting off the iron mouth, can you also make elixirs?"
This incident reached the ears of the Wu family's mother and son, and they began to speculate that Wang Fu's alchemy was about to take action against them.
…
The town rarely became lively because the caravan that had gone out was back.
The caravans in the warehouse support many residents in the town, so it is really a big deal to open up the relationship and be able to transport goods normally.
When the mules and horses entered the town, many people came out to watch. Looking at the heavy axle marks, they knew that the trip was returning with a full load.
Looking at the members of the caravan, there were no heavy casualties, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
"Proprietor, have you made a fortune?"
Along the way, the townspeople kept saying hello, but the proprietor was a little absent-minded.
A scene that surprised everyone happened. The caravan returned to the warehouse as usual, and the proprietor left midway with the middle-aged accountant and rushed directly to the Five Emperors Temple.
"coming."
Wang Fu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two of them arriving, he smiled at each other.
"Little Master, if it weren't for your peace charm, the two of us would almost never be able to come back."
When the owner of the warehouse saw Wang Fu, he immediately knelt down to thank him without saying a word.
It turned out that although a hundred jars of fine wine had been offered in advance, the mountain sprites did not disturb the caravan. However, halfway through the caravan, a foolish boy in the caravan peed on the roadside, which angered the spies.
In anger, the mountain sprite threw a stone from a high mountain and rolled it down the hillside, killing four or five mules and horses. The man who was defecating everywhere was crushed into a pulp on the spot.
The proprietor and the cashier were nearby at the time, and they were so scared that they were scared to death when they saw the waiter die tragically.
Fortunately, this incident only happened on the way, and the subsequent trips back and forth were uneventful.
The warehouse owner and the middle-aged accountant believed that Wang Fu's peace charm had worked and protected them from being hit by a big rock. The first thing they did when they returned to town was to thank them for saving their lives.
"The two auspicious people have their own destiny, Xiaodao only did trivial things."
Wang Fu is not being modest. The peace talisman he gave was scrawled, and its effect was equivalent to a placebo in a drug trial.
The more humble he was, the more the two warehouse owners saw it, and the more they felt that he was acting like a superior.
"Little master, you are so petty and disrespectful!"
This time, the thank you gift was not gold, silver or copper coins, but a big box full.
"Proprietor, you are a connoisseur, what do you think of my wine?"
Wang Fu took the jar of strong wine, poured a bowl, and pushed it in front of the two of them.
The aroma of wine hits your nose, like a knife scraping your chest, full of aggression.
The proprietor wanted to take a sip, but he immediately changed his mind, dipped a little on his finger, and put it in his mouth. His eyes suddenly widened.
"Hoo ho!"
"This is not wine, it is clearly water turned into fire."
The proprietor choked, his face turned red, and he looked at Wang Fu with even more fear.
"Little Master, is this the 'wine elixir' you refined?"
Taoist elixirs come in many forms. According to theory, anything refined can be called an elixir.
"Not bad, how strong is this wine?"
"Could suffocate a male bear."
Wang Fu smiled and thought to himself, it's not enough to get a male bear drunk, what I have to deal with is a mountain sprite!
Fortunately, liquor is not his last resort.
…
After seeing off the warehouse proprietor and the middle-aged accountant, Wang Fu sat for a while, doing his exercises back and forth a few times, then opened his eyes, got up and walked to the wooden box.
The owner of the warehouse has the convenience of business and has more channels to collect good things. He did not send money this time, apparently believing that the things inside can express his feelings better than money.
"this……"
Three rolls of tree bark are covered with moss, and inside are fresh ginseng with soil wrapped in them. The dense reed knots indicate that these ginsengs were caught alive when they were hundreds of years old. The fluffy and lush ginseng bushes are mixed with pearl-like knots. This is the best and unique product.
Some characteristics.
"nice one!"
Wang Fu nodded and recorded in his diary that practicing hard is like planting flowers in the mirror.
Taking medicinal bait is also a way to assist in spiritual practice.
The medicinal baits used by cultivators often overlap with medicinal materials, and ginseng is one of them.
"Hey, can you watch it or eat it?"
The ginseng sent by the proprietor of the warehouse was considered to be of the highest quality for a hundred years. It would be a waste to eat it in vain.
With Wang Fu's Yidian cultivation level, the best way to use it is to smell it.
