Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 308 Burning Liquor

Li Shimin seldom comes to the East Palace. Why did he run so hard today? In less than half a day, he came twice!

And looking at his appearance, it seems that he has been here for a long time. Thinking of this, Gao Ming smiled at him.

"Hey, when did the old man come? If you don't notify me, I'll let you pick you up..."

Before Gao Ming could finish speaking, Li Shimin immediately interrupted him with a smile and raised his hand.

"I don't need you to send someone to pick me up. I wouldn't have come if someone hadn't told me that you had moved a few large jars into the palace. It seems that I came here this time, hahahaha..."

Li Shimin laughed and opened a wine jar, but the moment he opened the wine jar, a strong smell of alcohol came out.

Smelling the strong fragrance, Li Shimin's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

"What kind of wine is this? It's so fragrant!"

As he said that, he reached out and dipped a little wine into his mouth. After tasting the taste, his eyes immediately widened.

"Hiss... What a strong wine, Gao Ming, this wine seems to be stronger than the wine in your royal club. What kind of wine is this?"

Seeing Li Shimin's surprised look, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, this wine is also brought from the Royal Club. It is a high-grade wine that I have specially purified."

"High alcohol?"

It was the first time Li Shimin heard this term, so a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Gao Ming, what is high alcohol? Is there still low alcohol?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"Of course, except for the liquor in the Royal Club, all other liquors are low-alcohol liquors!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming explained to Li Shimin in detail.

"The difference between wine and water lies in the alcohol content in it. For example, the rice wine we used to eat has only about [-]% alcohol content, while the wine in our Royal Club has an alcohol content of [-]%. above."

"So it is!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin nodded immediately, but soon, he frowned again.

"Then how do you tell the so-called alcohol content? How do you know how much alcohol is in it?"

"There are two ways, one is by tasting, the other is by burning. Tasting is by tongue. This method requires a certain amount of experience, but burning is easier."

Having said that, Gao Ming gave instructions to the servant next to him.

"Shi Jian, go and get me a plate and a torch."

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Shi Jian trotted into the house immediately, and soon came over with a small plate for pastries and a fire bag.

Gao Ming smiled at Li Shimin while taking the plate and fire bag from Shi Jian's hand.

"Alcohol is flammable. Once the alcohol content in the wine exceeds [-]%, then the wine can be ignited."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming opened the wine jar with 27 written on it, and scooped out a plate of wine with the small plate in his hand, then opened the fire folder under Li Shimin's curious eyes, and blew it on fire.

Gao Ming explained to Li Shimin while blowing the fire notes.

"The alcohol content of this jar is the highest among these wines. Even if the alcohol content is less than [-]%, it is not much different. Wine like this can already be called alcohol, so I can easily ignite it. like this!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming touched the edge of the plate with the already ignited torch in his hand, and saw that the plate containing the wine "huh" went on fire.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's eyes widened in shock.

"Hiss...it's really lit, and the fire is actually blue!"

Not only Li Shimin, but even Liu Bing who was beside him nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, this wine catches fire. It's really unheard of. Today, this old slave has grown up in the world."

Seeing the surprised faces of the two, Gao Ming didn't know what to say.

Alcohol can catch fire, as long as anyone who has studied chemistry in junior high school knows, this is common sense in later generations, but Li Shimin and Liu Bing are from the Tang Dynasty, of course they don't know this.

Therefore, at this moment, in Gao Ming's eyes, their behavior can only be explained by two words - soil turtle!
Of course, it was impossible for Gao Ming to say such words, because he did not have the confidence to subdue the angry Li Shimin, so he could only keep silent.

If Li Shimin looked up, he would have noticed the contempt on Gao Ming's face, but he didn't do so, because his attention was completely attracted by the burning plate on the ground.

"It's amazing that wine can be lit!"

With such thoughts in mind, Li Shimin and Liu Bing looked at the plate on the ground intently, until the fire on it was completely extinguished, and Li Shimin exhaled a long breath.

"Huh... I didn't expect such a look to exist in the world. It seems that I am really ignorant."

As long as you know!
Gao Ming thought this way in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he changed into another way.

"Actually, you don't have to think this way. You are the second person to know that wine can burn, besides me. If you are considered ignorant, then everyone in Tang Dynasty is ignorant."

"Haha, you kid is getting better at talking."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face again, and he gently picked up the plate on the ground.

Looking at the thin layer of wine left inside, a hint of surprise flashed across his face again.

"Hey, there's still wine in it!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin immediately picked up the plate and drank it down. Seeing this scene, Liu Bing became anxious immediately.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Before Liu Bing could finish speaking, Li Shimin raised his hand to interrupt him, then turned to look at Gao Ming.

"Gao Ming, why is this wine tasteless?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Of course it's tasteless. Didn't I tell you just now? The difference between this wine and water is that it contains alcohol. Now that the alcohol has been burnt, there is only water and a very small amount of alcohol left on the plate. Drink it Naturally, there is no smell!"

"I see!"

Gao Ming's words gave Li Shimin a sense of enlightenment, and he nodded immediately.

"Well, Gao Ming, where did you know this?"

"I……"

Just when Gao Ming was about to explain, Li Shimin immediately interrupted him with his hand.

"Okay, needless to say, I guess the ancestors of our Li family must have entrusted you with a dream, it is really the blessing of the ancestors!"

"..."

Why are you so smart?You are so clever so how can I mess around in the future?

Seeing Li Shimin's "witty as I am" expression, the corners of Gao Ming's eyes twitched suddenly.

"Uh... old man, it's rare for you to be so happy today. How about I don't want me to show you a unique skill?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's face suddenly flashed with surprise.

"Gao Ming, you can also perform unique skills? What unique skills do you know, why don't I know?"

Seeing his surprised look, Gao Ming suddenly smiled proudly.

"I just learned this. Of course you don't know it. The name of my unique skill is called Swallowing Fire Wine!"

"Swallow fire wine?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin seemed to think of something, and his eyes immediately widened.

"Could it be..."
