Chapter 58: Distilled alcohol

“Auntie, look, is there anything missing?” Lao Fang walked in from outside carrying a big bag, took out the contents, and placed it in front of Li Yi.

Bezoar, mint, honeysuckle, spices, a few large jars of wine that Lao Fang bought from Fucheng…Looking at the piles of things in front of him, Li Yi counted, and then nodded. The Lao Fang is very reliable. , None of the things he ordered him to buy were missed.

As autumn grows stronger, mosquitoes become more rampant at night.

For this special physique now, every night is when Li Yi suffers the most.

Now that the candy haws business is on the right track, the Lao Fang and the others can handle it. No need for Li Yi to worry any more, he finally made time to solve the most difficult problem that bothers him right now.

“Auntie, why don’t you buy so much wine during the holidays?” Lao Fang’s gaze stared at the wine jar on the ground and he didn’t move away. He involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Li Yi.

When my family had no money, there were only so many times in a year. I was willing to spend a few cents on a bowl of wine to relieve my greed in the wine shop in Shanxiafang City. The taste was enough for several days.

Although I don’t have to worry about food and clothing during this period, I still have a lot of surplus, but the poor and afraid Lao Fang is still very frugal in life. It is easy to make copper money, but it is harder for him to spend it than to go to the sky. It is naturally impossible. Extravagant to good wine and meat all day long.

“Who can’t say enough?”

Li Yi raised his eyebrows and looked back at the Lao Fang and said, “Isn’t it Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days? I’m busy with the candy haws business these days. Everyone is working hard, and then I will treat everyone well.”

When the old Fang heard the words, his eyes lit up suddenly: “These wines were drunk during the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

“No.” Li Yi said plainly.

These wines were used as toilet water to repel mosquitoes, but Lao Fang shouldn’t be ruined.

The expression on Lao Fang’s face was stagnant and he was speechless for a while.

Ignoring the eyes of Lao Fang looking at him slowly became resentful, Li Yi said again: “Go find a few iron pots, and find a few empty bamboo pipes. I will start to work soon.”

Li Yiyuan wanted to suppress the purification of alcohol for a while, and then make the soap first. However, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes, so he had to put alcohol purification first.

There is no other reason, because if you want to make mosquito repellent toilet water, you must use a high concentration of alcohol.

Lao Fang’s work efficiency is very fast, and the iron pot was quickly found. Under the guidance of Li Yi, he worked for most of the day before he completed the alcohol distillation device.

Distilling alcohol, of course, is not simply heating it in a pot. If the temperature is too high, the alcohol and water will evaporate together. After condensing, the alcohol will still be low-concentration alcohol, which can’t be purified.

This simple distillation device first heats the water and uses the water temperature to evaporate the alcohol. The alcohol vapor recondenses on the top and enters the bamboo pipe. The purified alcohol flows out.

The schematic diagram of the 　　 distillation device, Li Yi can easily find it in the book, but the equipment such as the flask glass tube can not be realized at present, and in desperation, I can only retreat and use these simple Substitution of things, although the effect will definitely be much worse, as long as you can get alcohol with a concentration of 75% or more, it is enough.

After all the preparations were done, Li Yi lit the flame below, and all he had to do next was to wait.

Lao Fang scratched his head, looking at Li Yi for a while, and the strange thing his uncle asked him to make, there was a mass of paste inside his head.

With a drop of wine flowing out of the hollow bamboo tube, gradually, the kitchen began to diffuse a strong aroma of wine…

“Gudong.”

Lao Fang swallowed.

Li Yi turned his head and glanced at him. Lao Fang wiped the corners of his mouth immediately, and looked away from the bowl under the bamboo tube, pretending to be nonchalant.

When the liquor flowing out of the bamboo tube became extremely slow, Li Yi knew that the liquor in the pot was almost distilled, so he took out a chopstick and put a little liquor in the bowl and put it in his mouth. After tasting, he frowned slightly.

Although the alcohol content after distilling once is much higher than the beginning, it still fails to meet his requirements.

“It seems that this distillation device is still too crude. If you want to mass-produce and increase efficiency in the future, you must improve the distillation device.” Li Yi murmured, pouring all the distilled wine into an empty jar. Inside, it was replaced with fresh liquor for the second distillation.

The old Fang smelled the scent in the air, his throat kept trembling, and he wanted to pick up the jar next to him and have a good drink, but thinking that these wine aunts must be of great use, he restrained his thoughts.

The alcohol concentration of distilling once is far from enough. The device is simple and simple, and the number of times is collected. Li Yi repeats the distillation again and again, so that the alcohol concentration of each distillation will increase a little.

The book says that using the distillation method to distill alcohol can only get a maximum alcohol concentration of about 95%~ IndoMTL.com~ Li Yi certainly can’t get such a high concentration with a few broken pots, but the concentration About 80% is enough for him.

After repeating the distillation several times, Li Yi found that the alcohol concentration had not increased much when re-distilling, so he gave up.

“Gudong…”

The Lao Fang next to him swallowed again.

glanced at Lao Fang, Li Yi really couldn’t stand it anymore, he divided the distilled alcohol into a small bowl, handed it to him, and said, “Okay, don’t be greedy, taste how this wine tastes ?”

Hearing the words, the old Fang’s eyes shined brightly, and after receiving the wine bowl, he couldn’t wait to drink it all.

Li Yi watched Lao Fang’s face turn from black to red, and he let out a comfortable moan. The expression on his face was extremely satisfied, and he said aloud: “Good wine!”

Plop!

After saying these two words, Lao Fang shook his body a few times, and fell to the ground, unconscious.

“Uh…”

Looking at the old Fang who was lying on the ground, snoring everywhere, Li Yi couldn’t help but despise him.

Seeing that this guy is so sturdy, he turned out to be an embroidered pillow, he fell in one bite, and he was no better than himself!

put the distilled alcohol on the tip of the nose and sniffed it, a pungent smell rushed into the lungs, but in an instant, Li Yi felt his head start to feel dizzy…

hurriedly removed the wine bowl. At this time, he realized that what was in front of him was high-strength alcohol with a concentration of more than 75%… In the previous world, alcohol with a concentration of more than 60%, It seems to be forbidden to sell in the country…

looked down at Lao Fang lying on the ground, Li Yi’s mouth couldn’t help but twitched…

“Such an adult, and still can’t stand the temptation, deserve it!”
