Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 226 Dunhua Winery
In the southeast corner of Dunhuafang, Dunhua Winery.

The ground has been leveled, the cellar has been dug, the big stove, big pot, and big steamer are set up, and the still from Xuanduguan is set up, everything looks decent.

Daqu is a common type of koji in the north, and sorghum—that is, Diliang is a common wine-making material.

If it wasn't for the emperor's acquiescence, Fan Zheng wouldn't dare to use grain to brew it at will.

There are roughly three types of brewing: official brewing, private brewing, and self-brewing.

Guanniu is made by Liangming Department;
Self-brewed, such as Wei Zheng's self-brewed 醽醁 Cui Tao, self-brewed and self-drinked, occasionally sold, but the quantity is not large, and the court can't control it;
The distilleries belong to private brewing, and in theory, the Liang Brewing Department can govern all private brewing.

When food is in short supply, the Liangyin Bureau can issue an emergency decree to force all wineries to prohibit the use of grain to make wine, fruit wine is not within the scope of the ban.

Taking advantage of this convenience, Fan Zheng bought several hundred shi of three-year-old grain and one thousand shi of one-year grain from Yongzhou Sicang's Butang where he joined the army. This was specially approved by the departing emperor.

In addition, through the Butang, a lot of grains were also purchased.

This thing is better than cheap.

Of course, the old grains and grains are not used to make wine, but to feed ducks.

Outside the winery, there is a small pond with a layer of cement on the bottom. After filling with water, it is a paradise for ducks.

A little bit is better than nothing.

The sound of five hundred ducklings is a bit painful to the brain. No wonder there are allusions to "five hundred ducks" in later generations.

Du Shengxia directed the steaming, mixing of Daqu, fermenting, and steaming, while Fan Zheng stayed with her for the past few days and had no right to speak.

No way, can't laymen guide experts?

Don't even tell a joke, this failure is a pot, do you know how much you will pay?
After Du Shengxia finished yelling, Fan Zheng quickly handed over a peeled fresh peach: "Moisturize your throat. Oh, it's better to marry a woman from a winemaking family to save worry. From building a cellar to serving a steamer, you don't have to worry at all."

Du Shengxia took a bite of the peach, and gave Fan Zheng a proud look: "Some people didn't like it back then."

Fan Zheng laughed awkwardly: "Where, it's not fate. You see, it should be a family in the end, and they can't escape anyway."

Du Shengxia threw the peach pits into the dustpan, and Fan Zheng hurriedly took out a sweat towel to wipe her mouth and hands, which was very considerate.

"Hey, I don't usually care so much, but now it's because I can help earn money?" Du Shengxia was annoyed and funny.

"Drinking!"

The sweaty man wiped his face with a corner of his gown, and whispered—the temperature in the room is really high for steaming wine.

If Du Shengxia wasn't around, they would be able to be shirtless without any scruple, even if there were other wives present.

But Du Shengxia is the Lord of Huarong Township, a married woman outside the court, so she can't be disrespectful in front of her.

This is a small inconvenience, but compared to Du Shengxia's skillful guidance, it can be ignored.

From the narrowed outlet of the distiller, crystal liquid dripped out and fell into the quicklime filter layer. There was a slight reaction, not much.

The purpose of quicklime is not to remove impurities, but to remove water.

Moisture reacts with quicklime, but hardly reacts with alcohol, so it is excellent for removing moisture.

Open the egg mentioned above, separate the egg white and egg yolk, and use it to test the temperature of the steamer.

Egg whites solidify and change color at about 65 degrees Celsius, and the wine heads produced at this time account for about [-]% of the total output;
The egg yolk changes color at about 75 degrees, and the wine produced at this time is the highlight, [-]%!
The temperature above [-] degrees is the end of the wine, about [-]%.

The other end is also distilling, but it is distilling water.

When drinking wine, the taste should be considered, and the head and tail of the wine need to be blended. Alcohol does not have this problem at all.

Therefore, the problem of unique taste does not exist at all.

What needs to be considered is how to grasp the degree of alcohol.

I can't say, oh, my wine has been dehydrated, so it can be used directly.

If so, congratulations, the medicine is dead.

The human body's tolerance to alcohol is 78 degrees. If it exceeds this level, the wound cells will be dehydrated, which will cause the disadvantages of slow wound healing and enlarged scars. On the contrary, it will be harmful.

The medical alcohol of later generations is at most 75 degrees, which is the reason.

The blue vitriol obtained from Xuandu Guan was bathed in sand in a pot until it turned white. Take a cup of wine and add a little blue vitriol. The color did not change or changed slightly, which proves that the alcohol basically does not contain water.

Then, according to a certain ratio, the alcohol is blended with distilled water.

The density of alcohol and the density of distilled water are more complicated. To put it simply, the volume loss ratio of blending at zero degrees Celsius is [-] per thousand, and the volume loss of miscibility at room temperature is about [-] per thousand.

As long as the amount of the two is calculated in advance, the loss is almost negligible.

"What can you do with such a collusion?"

Du Shengxia asked curiously.

"Medical use! It is used by the Imperial Medical Office. It can be used to disinfect the wound. If Yiwei and Fubing are injured, they should be cleaned with alcohol first, and then applied with medicine, which can save a lot of deaths."

Fan Zheng replied lightly, and by the way, asked Lu Jiasheng to direct the alcohol into small bottles, drip wax to seal them, and took two bottles by himself.

"By the way, the distiller's grains are used to mix old grain and rice grains, and feed the ducks."
-
Dali Prison.

Prison Chancellor and Prison Shi tremblingly stood aside, and Dali Zheng Xinmao led the current emperor, imperial physician Ling Feng Yizhi, medical supervisor Jiang Fuling, imperial servant Shi Fan Zheng, etc., and dragged two Qiujue prisoners who were in similar physical condition come out.

Although Sun Fujia doesn't like to use torture, he is not the only one who can judge cases in Dali Temple. General Xin Mao often uses stick punishment.

The buttocks of the two criminals were smashed, and the fibers of the torn linen were even inserted into the flesh. As a result, the injuries couldn't get better, and the festering area expanded, so they could only lie on their stomachs now.

A doctor stepped forward and cut open the trousers of the two criminals and cut up the rotten flesh. One cleaned the wound with alcohol and then bandaged it with medicine, and the other directly bandaged it.

During the whole process, the two death row inmates were screaming miserably, and the one who was cleaning the wound with alcohol by the doctor screamed even louder.

Drugs?

Sorry, death row is also used?

To correct some misguided concepts, the prescription for anesthesia has never been Hua Tuo's death, the disappearance of the anesthesia, and there will be no more.

You can say that other people's anesthetic prescriptions are not as effective as Mafeisan, but you can't say that they don't exist.

Even the Mongolian sweat medicine in the Outlaws of the Marsh can be regarded as one of the narcotic drugs.

There is no need to generalize.

Testing drugs with death row prisoners is a commonly used method of testing drugs.

humane?

Uh, you can't force people from thousands of years ago with ideas from a thousand years later, otherwise you're playing hooligans.

"Men from Huarong Jianguo County, does this alcohol really increase the chance of survival?"

Li Shimin's question was very rational, and there was no such nonsense as whether to cover it or not.

Even Feng Yizhi and the others couldn't rescue every wounded person.

Fan Zheng crossed his hands: "I can guarantee improvement, but I can't guarantee omnipotence. After all, it's just an auxiliary thing."
