Chapter 88 Simple Way

Seeing the two of them coming in a hurry, Chen Wanrong was embarrassed to say that they were late and smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just right. We're just ready."

Wang Zhongze and Chen looked at each other for a while, and they had just finished preparing and were just the right time. They couldn't help but smiled with confidence: "Fortunately, it didn't happen, and fortunately, it didn't happen!"

Chen Laoshi handed the wooden funnel to Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, look, is it suitable or not?"

Chen Wanrong took it and saw that the funnel was cleaned very smoothly. He looked at the light and saw no trace of light coming through. It was very good. He smiled and said, "It's done well. Master Wang, your skills are good!"

This is sincerely praised, and Wang Zhongze hurriedly said: "What the boss said is all Master Chen's credit."

Chen Laoshi has always liked to receive merit, but he was very convinced by Wang Zhong and did not steal his merit: "Master Wang, don't say something nice, this is what you did, I just started."

Put the funnel onto the inlet of the condenser, just as if it had been done. Re-adjust the height of the water tank and just raise it slightly, it will take a few steps.

The stove had not been turned off. After a while, the temperature rose and the water steam rose. The temperature in the kettle increased, and steam leaked outside the joint. Xiao Zhizhong and the guys were busy plugging it with cloth pieces.

This was the second time I did it. The whole process went much smoother. After a while, the wine flowed out. This time, except for Chen Laoshi and Wang Zhongze, no one was curious anymore. After watching it for a while, they went back to work.

I made it until noon, but I only made it three times and had lunch at the winery.

Xiao Zhizhong and his team prepared a lot of rice. They made it four times in a row before they finished it. There was almost a large jar of distilled wine.

"Brother Chen, is it okay now?" As soon as Mi finished, Ma Zhizhong couldn't help asking.

Nowadays, wine can only be used in crude products and must be processed before it can be used. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "It's not OK."

"When will it take to get better?" Gao Qingtai couldn't help it and asked.

Chen Wanrong estimated briefly and said, "It's almost done. Clean the pot and clean the kettle."

Even if Chen Wanrong said these aftermath work, Xiao Zhizhong would not let go, and brought his friend to clean up the tools.

While they were cleaning the tools, Chen Wanrong, Ma Zhizhong and Gao Qingtai moved four jars of wine to the edge of the stove together. Xiao Zhizhong was curious and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?"

"Do it again!" Chen Wanrong answered very simply.

Xiao Zhizhong blurted out without thinking, "Boss, have you done it? Why do you have to come again?"

If you make old wine alone, you can sell it. However, what Chen Wanrong wants to make is alcohol, and its best effect is a concentration range. Under the current conditions, without measuring equipment, it is not easy to meet this concentration requirement. According to his experience in tasting old wine, there is no problem to control it well.

However, according to the investigation of Ma Gao and his two men, alcohol would have a great future in the Tang Dynasty and would be produced in large quantities soon. It was impossible to check it by themselves. It was necessary to find a feasible solution for Xiao Zhizhong and others, and it was necessary to perform secondary distillation.

Not only was he curious about this issue, but even Zheng Qing was a little curious, blinking his eyes and looking at Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong had to explain: "Master Xiao, you have to be optimistic. You have to rely on you to make this alcohol in the future. I did it again to get better alcohol. After this time, I might have to do it again before I can make it."

In Ma Zhizhong and their imagination, alcohol was obtained from food, and they just needed to make wine. Unexpectedly, it was so complicated that they couldn't help but be stunned.

Zheng Qing snuggled beside Chen Wanrong and asked with a smile: "Brother Chen, is there any better way?"

If there are test conditions, there is naturally no need to use this laborious method. The problem is that there is no now, so I can only do this. Chen Wanrong replied: "No now."

Xiao Zhizhong urged: "Qing, hurry up." He thought it was done, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to hurry if he did it halfway. After the guys learned about this, even if he didn't urge, he would speed up.

The pot was cleaned, Chen Wanrong and Xiao Zhizhong lifted the wine jar and poured the wine into the pot. After four jars of wine were down, only half a pot was left.

Xiao Zhizhong picked up the wooden board and said to another guy, "Get the cloth quickly." According to his idea, this was the same as the first time, and the wooden board and clean linen were required to be arranged in this way.

Chen Wanrong shook his hand to stop them and said, "No need."

"No need?" Xiao Zhizhong was stunned and blurted out: "Boss, how do you do it?"

This question is exactly what Zheng Qing and the others are going to ask. They looked at Chen Wanrong together and waited for him to give the answer. Chen Wanrong explained: "This is distillation, it's a little different. Just install the kettle and the condenser tube."

The freshness came to mind. Ma Gao and Zheng Qing and Qing'e were busy helping. Everyone started to do it together, and installed the kettle and condenser with all their hands and feet, then connected the cooling water, and the preparation was done.

Xiao Zhizhong squatted in front of the stove and threw some firewood into the stove. After burning the stove for a long time, there was a lot of charcoal fire inside, and the temperature was very high. As soon as the firewood was thrown in, flames rose up in a while.

When the temperature rises, steam leaks out. There is no need to tell someone to do the plug that should be plugged.

After a while, wine came out of the exit. Everyone opened their eyes wide and saw that it was no different from the moment. It was as clear and transparent as it was, so it was unclear.

Before they could ask questions, Chen Wanrong explained to them: "Wine now is more mellow than the wine just now." The word "meal" cannot be understood as the quality of the wine, but should be understood as concentration, which means that the concentration of alcohol is higher.

They have no common sense in chemistry, and if the concentration is higher, they will definitely not hear it clearly. So it is better to use the word "ol" they are familiar with to make them understand better.

Sure enough, Ma Zhizhong immediately started to taste it: "That means it's even more delicious? I'll try it. Brother Chen, don't worry, I'll taste it less this time."

The concentration is not 100%, not far from 90%. If he drinks it, he is really drinking. Chen Wanrong hurriedly blocks him and said, "Brother Ma, I can't drink it now, I can't stand it if I drink it."

At most, wine is so drunk that it makes people drunk. What else can’t stand it? Ma Zhizhong didn’t believe it and looked at Chen Wanrong. He saw Chen Wanrong with serious expressions and absolutely did not joke. He had to give up and said, “Brother Chen won’t cheat me, forget it!” He trusted Chen Wanrong very much.

The alcohol concentration increased and was extremely volatile. In order to reduce the loss, Chen Wanrong picked up a wet cloth, spread it out, and spread it on the mouth of the jar.

After a while, the jar was almost full, so I changed to an empty jar. Once two full jars were connected, the third jar was placed on it, and only a little more was taken. Chen Wanrong tasted a little wine at the exit. The wine tasted much lighter, and ordered: "Okay. Refuse the fire first and remove the things."

This shows that everyone is one step closer to success. Everyone is happy and come to help. In just a short while, they remove the pot.

"The water is too hot, come and make some cold water." Xiao Zhizhong took a look in the pot and started to take instructions as he did just now.

Chen Wanrong vetoed it: "Don't add cold water, it's very useful to preserve the water well. Use clean things to pack them and put them in, and don't mess it up."

This is authentic distilled water. Baby, if you add some well water in it, it will be scrapped. In Xiao Zhi’s central opinion, this kind of water should be poured out. Chen Wanrong still kept it like a treasure. It was really hard to understand, but he still carried out the process unscheduledly.

Scooped into the jar, there were more than one jar, less than two jars. Xiao Zhizhong and his friend moved aside to put them. Chen Wanrong asked someone to pour the two jars of wine into the pot and distillate them again.

By the time this time the distillation was over, there was only one jar, and the remaining half of the jar of distilled water in the pot was left.

After three distillations, the current concentration is not 100%, not much difference, at least 95% or 96%. With this concentration of alcohol, it is much easier to prepare the most effective medical alcohol, which is a dilution problem.

Chen Wanrong asked someone to clean a wine jar and pour the alcohol into it. He inserted a dry wooden stick straight into it. He lifted it up and cut it with a knife on the wet seal, which was considered a mark.

Take another thread, measure it from the numbering point to the bottom, and then fold the thread into three equal parts. Finally, put the thread into the wine jar, follow the liquid level at one end, fix the other end, scratch it with your fingernails a few times, and make a little mark.

Finally, straighten the thread, tie a copper coin, and put it in the jar. The copper coin is placed on the marks marked by the nails, and then tie the thread to a stone.

Everyone watched Chen Wanrong with breathing, not understanding why. Seeing that he was very serious and it was hard to disturb him. Until Chen Wanrong finished doing this, Wang Shaohua couldn't help it and asked, "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

It was too strange to hold a copper coin in the wine jar, and anyone had to be curious. But this was said to everyone, and they kept nodding and claimed that it was.

"Make a mark to make it easier to add water." Chen Wanrong's explanation is very simple.

However, this simple statement has caused surprise. It is not easy to make a mark, just find a pen and just scratch it. Is it necessary to make such a toss? It's too troublesome to be like a baby.

The reason why I use copper coins is more obvious. The marks drawn with my fingernails are too light, and if one is not good, it will be overwhelmed. It is not impossible to use a pen, but it is not good. Droping ink into alcohol will cause pollution. This is medical use and cannot be careless.

Zheng Qing didn't think so. She looked at Chen Wanrong and asked, "Brother Chen, is there any secret?"

Yiren was still careful, Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "It is mainly used for measurement. If you don't measure how much alcohol is, it is difficult to add water. If you add too much water or less, it is not good. Add the water in the jar to the point. Be careful not to add too much, add it to the edge of the copper coin."

Dilute the anhydrous alcohol to between 70% and 75% alcohol, and add one-third of the water. To be precise, you need to add three volumes of alcohol to one volume of water. If you need to add seventy percent alcohol, you need to add three volumes of alcohol to one volume of water. If you need to add seventy percent alcohol to one volume of alcohol, you need to add three.4 volumes of alcohol to one volume of water.

Considering that alcohol is not 100% pure alcohol, if added in a three to one way, the concentration may be less than 70%. However, this doesn't matter, because the wine tank is in a ladder shape, with a smaller bottom and a wider top. If water is added at depth, less water will be added. In other words, the concentration of alcohol will not be lower than the lower limit.

This method is convenient and simple, suitable for current conditions. The only disadvantage is to spend more firewood and more effort. However, in this way, alcohol is the best. This is a medicine to save lives and heal the wounded. If inferior products are used as good products, what is the difference between selling fake drugs?

This is worth it!

Everyone then understood, and Gao Qingtai asked, "Brother Chen, what are the benefits of doing this?"

Chen Wanrong replied: "Brother Gao, the biggest advantage of doing this is that alcohol is the best effect. Think about it, this is used to treat diseases. If the effect is poor, wouldn't it be a pity for people? Everything can be careless, but this person's life cannot be achieved!"

A very ordinary sentence expresses a person's conscience. Wang Shaohua high-fives and praised: "Human life is at stake, no care. Brother Chen said it well! He said it so well!"

Ma Gao and the other two nodded in agreement, "Brother Chen, I'm convinced! It's a blessing for us to be able to do business with Brother Chen!"

Zheng Qing looked at Chen Wanrong with her neck tilted, and her face was filled with happiness, and her eyes were filled with smiles. Qing'e, who had always liked to oppose Chen Wanrong, not only did not make fun of Chen Wanrong, but on the contrary, she admired her very much.

If someone died because of his own fault, Chen Wanrong would feel guilty for the rest of his life. But he told the truth, but he didn't expect that he would get so much praise. He really didn't dare to take it. He smiled and said, "I'm too awarded, too awarded!"

Xiao Zhizhong and the guys started to work and added distilled water to the wine jar. First, they added very hard and poured directly. Later, they placed the wine jar on the ground and added it with a scoop to make a "fine-tuning".

It was not until the edge of the copper coin was added that Chen Wanrong stopped and took the copper coin. He picked up the stick, stirred it in the wine jar, put down the stick and said, "Okay! Put it on!"

"Pretty for me first!" Ma Gao and the others said it together, looking at each other without saying anything. It means that you can't take the lead. The two of them are waiting for alcohol, so how can they not want to take the lead?

Finally finished, Chen Wanrong was also happy and smiled with relief: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, both are there, all are there."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a twist on his arm. After a look, Zheng Qing blinked her eyes and looked at her. Chen Wanrong understood what she meant, saying, "Don't forget us", and whispered in her ear: "If you forget who you can't forget you."

This is a pun, which not only tells Zheng Qing that alcohol has her share, but also lets her love go. Zheng Qing's face turned red with shame and glanced at Chen Wanrong with hatred. If you want to say love words, you can't say it in front of so many people, it's so shameful.

Fortunately, Ma Zhizhong and the others were busy pretending to be alcohol and had no time to take care of the two of them, so Zheng Qing felt a little relieved.

After less than three oaths of cauldrons, Ma Gao and two of them made a full oath of cauldrons, and the rest naturally returned to the Zheng family.

Looking at the wine jar, Ma Gao and the other two were happy. However, they were both smart businessmen and would not forget their business because of joy. Ma Zhizhong said to Chen Wanrong: "Brother Chen, we will take this alcohol back to the pharmacy in Chang'an to try it out. According to the elder brother's opinion, if you sell it now, it is a bit inappropriate. The main problem is that it is not well packaged. If we take it back, we can only use it separately. After it is done, we have to package it and sell it in the name of Chen's Chemical."

If they hadn't been so urgent, Chen Wanrong would have solved these things. Gao Qingtai took over the conversation and said, "Brother Chen, you can rest assured that even if it is a drug shop to try it, we will tell them that this is Chen's chemical product. You have to speed up the packaging. When it is officially sold, it must be like soap and packaged very beautifully."

"Thank you, please remind me, I will pay attention." Chen Wanrong thanked him with fists.

Ma Zhizhong held his fists and said, "Our purpose has been achieved, so let's say goodbye first."

Chen Wanrong hurriedly kept him and said, "Brother Ma, you rarely come here once. Stay for another night and leave tomorrow. It's getting late."

Gao Qingtai smiled and said, "Ning County is not far from Chang'an and will arrive soon. At worst, you can just hurry up and go on a night road. Lao Ma and I have a lot of things to do, so I can't afford it."

They were all very busy people like themselves, so Chen Wanrong had to agree. At that moment, Xiao Zhizhong asked his friend to help bring the alcohol to the courtyard. When he returned to the courtyard, Ma Gao and his two left their leave and returned to Chang'an with the alcohol.

After seeing off the two men from Ma Gao, Chen Wanrong said to Xiao Zhizhong: "Master Xiao, today you will pack up your things and rest."

Xiao Zhizhong hurriedly said: "It's still early in the morning and you can do some work."

"You are not lazy in your work, so you will have a rest today." Chen Wanrong affirmed and then ordered: "You go to Yuanji Kiln and order a few wine jars from Manager Yuan. This wine jar is different from what you use now. It cannot be narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, but should be as wide as the top and bottom. As for the shape, it does not matter whether it is round or square."

Xiao Zhizhong was surprised and asked, "Boss, what do you want to do this thing? This thing is not easy to do."

"Don't worry, can you believe the skills of Manager Yuan?" Chen Wanrong was very confident in Yuan Tiancheng's skills and explained: "Only such a wine jar can produce the best results."
