Li Feng was confused and shoveled all the flowers and plants in the backyard. What was he doing?

Is there something wrong with the lady's head?

Li Feng stared at Li Yanran with strange eyes.

"I'll go, what are you looking at? I'll tell you that I'm fine. I'm picking flowers to make perfume. You pick those flowers and plants and sort them."

Li Yanran raised her foot and kicked the opponent, and then began to tinker with the utensils used for distillation.

Li Feng knew that the lady was not joking, so he took the women in the house and started picking flowers and weeds according to Li Yanran's order.

"Old Li..."

After playing with it, Li Yanran clapped her hands, wondering if this thing could perform the distillation and purification work as she imagined.

"What's wrong?"

Li Feng rushed over, his body and head covered with petals and grass leaves.

"puff."

Li Yanran couldn't help but burst out laughing. Li Feng's look reminded her of a term from later generations:

Flower thief.

Ha ha.

"What's wrong?"

Li Yanran smiled and Li Feng was a little confused, what happened to him?

What's so funny.

"It's okay, go find some wine and come over."

Li Yanran walked up to Li Feng, helped him pull off the flower petals and grass blades on his head, and motioned for him to get some wine to try out the still.

"No drinking."

Li Feng stared at Li Yanran with his eyes wide open.

After having dinner with Chang Sun Yan once, you became obsessed with this thing?

Can't you forget this?

"What are you thinking about? I want to test the efficacy of this thing. Whether I can make a perfume depends on this."

Li Yanran rolled her eyes at Li Feng, and then patted the still beside her.

drink wine?

I'm not an alcoholic, so why are I drinking?

Don't think about me, Li Yanran, with your big head.

"You're really not drinking?"

Li Feng didn't believe Li Yanran's words.

I have been tricked by young ladies too many times, and my character is unbelievable.

"Go quickly."

Li Yanran kicked Li Feng again.

Sample, if I didn’t slap you, you wouldn’t know who the big or small king is, right?

Don't say you don't want to drink. Even if you really want to drink, can you, Li Feng, stop you?

"oh."

Li Feng glanced at the serious Li Yanran again and went directly to the treasury to bring out a jar of fine wine.

Looking at the wine in front of her, Li Yanran opened the seal, and a faint aroma of wine hit her nose.

Dip it with your fingers and put it in your mouth.

There is only a faint smell of alcohol, just like the beer drank in later generations, and it seems not as strong as beer.

Is this what the Tang Dynasty called fine wine?

No wonder those literati and poets can recite poems and compose poems while drinking.

Not doing an experiment?

Why did he drink it himself?

Li Feng stared at Li Yanran: "Miss."

"I know. I have to taste the concentration of this wine to know whether the next experiment is successful. Pour the wine into the copper cauldron."

Do you still need to talk more about what I am doing?

Li Feng held the wine jar in his arms, looked at Li Yanran warily, and poured all the wine into the copper cauldron.

Li Yanran came to the copper cauldron, dipped her hand in the wine again, and put it in her mouth.

"Miss."

Li Feng was also angry, and hurriedly covered it with a lid, and then stood beside him, watching Li Yanran beside him as if he were guarding against thieves.

Li Yanran rolled her eyes at Li Feng and lit the firewood under the copper cauldron with a fire stick.

"Don't you want to take care of me? Watch carefully. I'm going to take a beauty sleep."

After saying that, he left straight away, leaving Li Feng looking at the copper cauldron in front of him as if he were guarding against thieves.

Li Yanran woke up, it had been almost an hour, and stretched out.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Seeing that Li Yanran was awake, Zhou Qing immediately came over.

"Well, why are you here? Where is Li Feng?"

Li Yanran was stunned. Why was Zhou Qing coming? Shouldn't it be Li Feng?

What is this guy doing?

Do you really stick to the still? As for that?

"Miss, Brother Li Feng, he...he..."

Zhou Qing frowned and shrank back.

"He's asleep."

"???"

Li Yanran's whole body felt bad.

What's going on?

I asked you to watch the purified alcohol while you slept?

What the hell?

Li Yanran threw Zhou Qing away and strode to the front of the copper cauldron. She saw Li Feng's face was red, and he was lying next to the copper cauldron smelling of alcohol. He was also covered with a flower quilt.

He tilted his head and glanced at Zhou Qing behind him.

Did he sleep? He was obviously drunk.

Lifting the lid of the copper cauldron, there was only a bottom of the wine left inside. Looking under the bamboo tube, there was a pot of purified new wine.

Now Li Yanran understood everything. This guy must have couldn't help but drink the wine he had purified and was knocked down directly.

"My wine."

Li Yanran was extremely depressed. Good guy, no wonder you are so protective of yourself. It turns out that the drunkard is you.

"Li Feng."

Li Yanran kicked Li Feng.

Zhou Qing saw this scene and said quickly: "Miss, let Brother Li Feng take a nap, he... he may be too tired."

Li Yanran glanced at Zhou Qing, you care about him so much, you are not just in love, what do you mean by this Meng Hulu?

Seeing that Li Feng was unconscious, Li Yanran was too lazy to pay attention to him. She dipped her fingers into the purified wine and put it into her mouth.

A spicy feeling swept through her mouth instantly. The alcohol content had been greatly improved compared to the beginning, but Li Feng obviously didn't pay enough attention.

Because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, if you want to get the alcohol out, you must ensure the temperature inside the copper cauldron. If the temperature reaches 100 degrees, water vapor will fly out together with the alcohol.

Although he didn't get the alcohol he wanted, it was good to get this strong drink. At least Li Feng was knocked down directly.

Li Yanran was so angry that she walked up to Li Feng and kicked him.

"wooden club."

"Miss."

Zhou Qing glanced at Li Yanran.

"You are also a stick."

Li Yanran rolled her eyes at Zhou Qing, why would she act in a romantic drama in front of her sister?

"oh."

Zhou Qing felt a little shy and didn't know if Li Yanran meant her or had other intentions.

"Take this stick back to the room to sleep. If you sleep here, you won't catch a cold."

Li Yanran glanced at Li Feng lying on the ground and asked him to help Li Feng go to the house to rest.

"I want to drink more, haha... haha, it's really good wine."

Li Feng was stood up by Zhou Qing and suddenly said this.

"I..."

Li Yanran was also a little helpless. She could only grab the pot of purified wine with great effort, poured it into the copper cauldron, and then sat on the ground and looked at the flames under the copper cauldron.

The key to distillation is to control the temperature. Now there is no thermometer. You can only look at the dripping mouth under the bamboo tube. As long as there is alcohol, you have to control the temperature and you can get the alcohol you want.

.

This sitting lasted for more than an hour, and it felt like it was almost done. Li Yanran opened the lid of the copper cauldron, and there was still more than half a pot of wine left in the pot.

Li Yanran scooped up a handful of the wine from the copper cauldron with her hands, put it in her mouth and tasted it.

It still smells like alcohol, but it's much lighter than before.

Li Yanran picked up the alcohol she had just collected, dipped her finger in it and put it in her mouth.

"hiss."

Li Yanran only felt that instead of wine, there was a ball of fire in her mouth.

In later generations, she also had the opportunity to taste Big Goose's national wine, 96-degree eaux-de-vie, and the feeling was similar to this. In any case, it was an existence that she could not accept.

Not to mention how high the temperature is, at least it must be over 70 degrees.

Draining the water from the copper cauldron and pouring the purified alcohol in again, she repeated this process two more times. She felt that she had reached her limit, and it seemed that she could not go any further despite her efforts.

Pour out a little of the alcohol you purified, put it in a small bowl, then get a piece of charcoal and throw it in directly.

"Peng."

There was a muffled sound, and the small bowl filled with alcohol exploded instantly, pouring out all the flying flames.

Seeing this situation, Li Yanran also hurriedly put out the fire.

"This should be considered a success, right? It must be at least seventy degrees."

Li Yanran looked at the purified alcohol. As far as he knew, alcohol seemed to have to be above 75 degrees before it explodes. He seemed to have succeeded.

But this thing is still a dangerous item, so it must be kept properly, so that if something goes wrong, it will be over.

Just when Li Yanran was excited about purifying the alcohol, Wu Zetian's carriage also drove into the palace.

As soon as Wu Zetian returned to the Communist Party, the eunuch Ruian came to greet her.

"Queen, Your Majesty is looking for you."

"Just in time, I also have something to ask your Majesty. Please allow me to change my clothes."

Wu Zetian went to change clothes first and then followed Ruian to the imperial study.
