Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 102: New wine is coming
The sun slanted westward, and the breeze came slowly.
Li Zexuan has gone through the entire Mei Village alone. Of course, there has been no such thing as getting lost halfway or encountering beautiful women. After all, there are so many beautiful women in the countryside. Han Yuxi is just a very special case.
Mei Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is very elegant. After Li Zexuan walked around, he even thought of living in seclusion. He shook his head and put away this unrealistic idea. Li Zexuan came to the entrance of the village and took it away. The statistics booklet Liu Qingfeng made for the dealers returned to Hanjiazhuang.
After arriving at Hanjiazhuang, Li Zexuan asked Han Lizheng to inform some farmers that they would go to Meicun tomorrow to guide them to build a chicken farm. Li Zexuan went back to the Hans courtyard by himself.
........
Han Family Courtyard.
"Hongling, you are about to take three people to wash the wild strawberries together."
"Okay, Sister Yu Xi."
"Axiang, you take four people to wash and cut these hawthorns."
"Sister Yuxi, Axiang will go now."
"Wenwen, go get some water, sugar and distiller's yeast."
"Okay."
As soon as Li Zexuan entered the yard, he felt as if he had come to the country of daughters. The yard full of youthful and lively girls made the air around him seem fresher.
It was the first time he saw Han Yuxi make wine in person. He saw her curl up her long hair with a hair band, and her sleeves were also rolled up high, revealing two slender arms like white jade. Mix some squeezed juice, a part of koji and sugar, and pour it into the jar.
Her movements are so elegant, her every move is full of poetry and picturesqueness. While busy with her work, she directs the girls to perform their duties and work together. This yard seems to be her battlefield, and she This is the female general on this battlefield.
may be due to the hotter weather. Han Yuxi’s Qiong nose already has a little sweat, and some traces of sweat can be seen on the clothes on her back. Every time she bends over, that thin The white dress outlines her beautiful figure.
Uh, don't see any evil, don't see any evil, Li Zexuan quickly turned away, and coughed twice, Han Yuxi and the other girls discovered Li Zexuan who had already entered the door.
"I have seen Sir Alex!"
The girls stopped their work one after another, and all bowed to Li Zexuan in salute.
Han Yuxi gave him a smile: "Master, you are back."
Li Zexuan felt a little strange when he heard this, as if his wife was greeting her husband who had just returned from a distance. Shaking his head to shake away the thoughts in his mind, he quickly smiled at the girls:
"Don't be polite, please keep busy, don't delay because of me."
After talking about Li Zexuan, he went straight to Han Yuxi.
Although the rest of the girls returned to their original positions and continued to be busy, their eyes kept sneaking here from time to time.
Which girl is not cherished for spring, Li Zexuan looks handsome, and is in a high position, young and gold, they are fake to say that they are not tempted.
But they all understand that when it comes to beauty, all of them add up to nothing compared to Han Yuxi. They look at Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi now, but they are mostly gossip.
All the girls want to know whether Han Yuxi, the most beautiful girl in Hanjiazhuang and even the nearby ten miles and eight villages, can catch the heart of this young Sir Alex.
Of course, they really hope that Han Yuxi and Li Zexuan will finally get together, because at that time, the young Sir Alex will be the son-in-law of Hanjiazhuang, and Hanjiazhuang's life will continue to be better in the future.
"Yu Xi, you have worked hard, come and wipe your sweat."
Li Zexuan handed over a handkerchief with pity and pity. He had never been used to carrying this thing with him. He felt that only women would bring handkerchiefs.
But Xiao Xi would wear a washed handkerchief around his waist every time he packed his clothes. If things went on like this, Li Zexuan didn't bother to correct it, but he didn't expect to use it today.
He wanted to wipe the sweat on Han Yuxi himself, but thinking that this was ancient times, it would be too presumptuous if he did this. If the reputation of his daughter’s family was broken, Han Yuxi would not care about him anymore. .
I have to say that even though Li Zexuan had a relationship in his previous life, he was still a noob when it came to thinking about women's minds. He still hasn't seen Han Yuxi's affection for him.
Han Yuxi hesitated for a moment, took the handkerchief with a shame face, said thank you, and gently wiped the sweat from her cheeks, then she said:
"Master, this is the last batch of shanguo. The batch of shanguo wine made before is ready to go out of the cellar. When will you send it to Master?"
Li Zexuan pondered: "How many mountain fruit wines were there in the last batch?"
Han Yuxi thought for a while and replied: "There are 80 altars in total, and each altar is about forty catties."
Li Zexuan nodded, and said: "Then tomorrow, you ask your father to call a few young men and send all the last batch of mountain fruit wine to my house. Yuxi, do you have free time tomorrow? After this wine is delivered, We are about to start bartending, do you want to come together?"
can finally help the young master, Han Yuxi has some small expectations in her heart, and quickly replied:
"Yes, master, today's last batch of mountain fruit juice can be blended with the distiller's tune and it can be put into the cellar, and nothing will happen later."
Li Zexuan said with joy: "That's good."
At this moment, Lan'er and Tiedan came back. The little girl was sweaty, but her face was filled with a happy smile. Li Zexuan was a little speechless, the younger sister's temper was really getting more and more wild.
"Master!"
"Brother!"
The two little guys said hello to Li Zexuan, Li Zexuan nodded, and seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye to Han Yuxi. Tiedan stayed, and Li Zexuan asked him to enter the city with Han Yuxi and them tomorrow.
..........
As soon as he got home, Li Zexuan immediately entered the study. He wanted to draw a set of equipment for distilling alcohol. A complete set of distillation equipment was divided into two parts, a distillation pot and a condenser.
The distillation pot, Li Zexuan intends to use pure copper. One is that copper has good thermal conductivity, the other is copper as a catalyst for some esterification reactions, and the third is that copper has good resistance to the acidity of the raw wine. Fourth, copper can make butyric acid, caproic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, etc. form insoluble copper salts and precipitate ~IndoMTL.com~ to remove these unpleasant acids.
As for the condenser part, Li Zexuan plans to use a clay pot to make it. Because in this era, the glass firing process is not yet mature, Li Zexuan knows the approximate formula, but he hasn't had time to study it yet.
With the help of his super mental power, within half an hour, a complete set of distillation equipment was drawn, without missing a single detail.
Then he hurried to the workshop while the door was not closed, and asked Fubo to help him make a set of distillation equipment before noon tomorrow. Fubo looked at the drawings and it was not difficult, so he agreed. .
Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief and returned home, just when he met Wang Zhong and Sanbao who were coming back from the East Market. Wang Zhong immediately pleaded guilty:
"Master, I haven't bought many chicken fry today. The old slave is really negligent, and the young master has a heavy trust."
Li Zexuan said in surprise: "Why?"
Wang Zhong took the housekeeper of Cheng's house with many people to the East Market in advance, and said to Li Zexuan that he wiped out all the chicks in less than a quarter of an hour.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and then figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he shook his head and laughed:
"Uncle Wang, don’t buy chicken fry in the next two days. Let Cheng Mansion buy it first. By the way, there are still 70,000 chicken fry in Mei Village. Uncle Wang, you will buy all of them in the future. Got it."
"But, master..." Wang Zhong stretched out his hand and stopped talking.
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "Uncle Wang, it's okay. Our family doesn't have the money. Buy it a few days later, buy it a few days later."
Cheng Yaojin guessed right. The Li family really did not miss the money. Cheng Yaojin was willing to take advantage of Li Zexuan's small advantage, which proved that he did not treat Li Zexuan as an outsider. Of course, Li Zexuan would not care about it.
