Chapter 739 Distillation

Master Zongxin is really powerful. As soon as he arrived in Uighur, he solved the problem that no one in Uighur could do anything about. Moreover, no one in the group was injured, and he didn't even make any effort.The problems that troubled the Uighurs were solved so easily by them, which is really amazing.

Jing Qiong always knew that Zong Xin was very powerful, but she really didn't expect him to reach this level.When the Heihan clan went to pick snow lotuses, Jing Qiong felt thrilling countless times. As a result, that incident was trivial to them, and even the fire worship incident was nothing to Zongxin. He hardly needed to contribute. , just order the dozen or so subordinates around you.

Gongsun Ao suddenly said: "Master Zong Xin, why didn't that Zhao come back with you?"

"He's going back to the Central Plains first, and I'm going to go back to the Central Plains after I've dealt with the affairs here." Zong said: "It's been a while since I came to the Western Regions, and we all feel homesick. What's more, there are still many people in the Central Plains. The matter is waiting to be dealt with, and it will be impossible if you don't go back. By the way, Jing Qiong, has the matter I asked you been done?"

"Are you talking about the Persian merchants? It has been prepared for a long time. I have already asked them how to make wine, and they are willing to teach others how to make wine." Jing Qiong said with a smile: "Master Zong Xin will help you Uighur has settled the matter of Zoroastrianism, so of course this trivial matter will be handled properly."

"Thank you very much." Zong Xin said excitedly.

"Just a little thing."

Gongsun Ao said: "Master Zongxin, since the matter of the Fire Worship Sect is over, you have nothing to do, or you can practice with me for a few days. I haven't had a competition with a master for a long time. Although my kung fu is not as good as yours, I am I still want to compete with your sword skills."

"Okay, let's compete tomorrow when we are free. Everyone is tired today, and we are going to go back to the room to rest after having a meal." Zong Xin said: "Jing Qiong, prepare food."

"Okay, okay~ Butler, prepare a good banquet to entertain Master Zongxin." Jing Qiong was not angry at all when faced with Zongxin's attitude. At first, she felt depressed, but after getting used to it, she felt more intimate like this. This proves that Master Zongxin regards himself as a friend, so he adopts this attitude.

Jing Qiong is the son of the Uyghur Khan, almost no one has spoken to him in this tone, but it feels very comfortable to hear it occasionally.What's more, Zongxin speaks Chinese. In fact, not many of his servants can understand Chinese.So he didn't care, and immediately asked the housekeeper to prepare several tables of the best quality dinner, and everyone drank and chatted.

Jing Qiong and Gongsun Ao were so excited that they were about to explode because they finally defeated the Zoroastrian Cult, but Zong Xin and the others were a little disappointed.The reason is simple, because Zhao Kuangyin broke with Zong Xin and returned to the Central Plains with half of the treasure in the secret room.

Zong Xin has nothing to do about this matter, he knows that Zhao Kuangyin will become emperor in the future, and the first serious thing for the founding emperor is to kill heroes, and all the wise emperors are like this.Although Guo Wei is a good emperor, he is not a wise king. A wise king is not blindly benevolent, and he must be ruthless when he should be ruthless.

A brand-new regime is bound to be turbulent, and those heroes all have heavy soldiers in their hands, so it's no wonder that the emperor can rest assured.Whether it is fame or influence, as long as there is even a little threat to the emperor, such a person must die.So if you continue to hang out with Zhao Kuangyin, no one will end well.It was not a bad time to break up with him at this time, at least his achievements in the future will not be named Zong Xin, and now he has enough strength to allow Zhao Kuangyin to make a good career.

After all, they have been good friends for so many years. After Zong Xin escaped from the temple, the first person he met was Zhao Kuangyin. The two have been together for such a long time, and they have almost never really separated.Thinking of this, Zong Xin felt somewhat sad, but in order for the two of them not to come to the point where one had to die in the end, they also had to separate.

Yaoyao poured a glass of wine for Zong Xin, and then said softly: "Sister, can you not be sad? In the worst case, we will have a son named Zhao Kuangyin. When you are unhappy, beat him. If it doesn't work, you can bully him." His mother just throw it on the bed."

"It's not sad, it's just a little depressed." Zong Xin said with a light smile, "How can my son be named Zhao? Didn't he agree to follow your surname?"

"I don't have a proper name either. Master has always called me Yaoyao. Although I was called Song Yao later, I never used this name."

"Master, I haven't had the nerve to ask you for so many years. What's your layman's name? You didn't become a monk until you were 13, and you were called Zongxin at that time. Then what was your name before you were 13?" People raised their heads, only Tian Ya dared to ask this question.Zong Xin has been hiding his layman's name and never mentioned it to anyone, not even a word about his past.Everyone only knows what happened after he was rescued by the abbot Master Shi Ran in the temple because of a coma.

Zong said: "Are you very interested in this question?"

Everyone nodded, they all wanted to know the name of Zong Xin's secular family.Since they are Zong Xin's four wives, as the closest people, they don't even know Zong Xin's real name.

Zong Xin curled his lips and said, "Since I'm interested, why has no one asked me? I didn't hide it on purpose. Anyway, it's fine to have a name that can be called. It doesn't matter what you call it. My surname is Wang, Wang Jiaming, three horizontal and one vertical Wang, the addition and subtraction of addition and subtraction, tomorrow's tomorrow."

Now the four women are happy, because they know what their child's last name is.Zong Xin didn't say anything, and they didn't have the nerve to ask, so they didn't know Zong Xin's name all these years, but his surname was Wang.

"Master, I'm curious about one more thing. Since you are Lei Hong's son, why isn't the layman's surname Lei? And according to Lei Hong's guess, you were sent to the temple as a young monk since you were young, but we all know You became a monk after the age of 13. What were you doing before the age of 13? We have never seen or eaten many things, but you know them all. Since it was the bird language you spoke with the man from the Western Regions, it is estimated that the entire Central Plains Few would. Not even the Uyghurs would."

Zong Xin looked at Tianya depressedly, and said with his mouth curled up, "You're quite good at finding trouble."

"Thank you, Master, for your compliment. Can you tell us about these things?"

"No."

"Oh~ then pretend I didn't ask." Tian Ya knew that Zong Xin would not tell them everything, but it's okay to try to ask, as long as he doesn't want to say it, it's fine.

Zong Xin's advantage is quite good. When facing his own people, he just doesn't say what he doesn't want to say, and he doesn't deliberately make up lies to deceive everyone.Zhao Kuangyin is the complete opposite. As long as he can hide the past, even if he is killed, he will not tell the truth.

Yaoyao suddenly said out of curiosity: "Ms. sir, I have a question that I don't know whether I should ask or not."

"Then don't ask."

"No, I must ask." Yaoyao said: "You said that Zhao Kuangyin's life is tough. Who will he die in the end?"

Zong Xin said: "You all know this person, but no one can think of him. I can only say so much."

"How long can he live?" Yaoyao is very interested in this question now, because Zhao Kuangyin broke with Zong Xin, and Zong Xin's side certainly hopes to know his death.

Zong Xin thought for a while, and then said: "Anyway, Zhao Kuangyin won't die after the time agreed with me, and he can live for many years."

Everyone looked at Zong Xin in shock, Zhao Kuangyin's fate was so hard?Even Zong Xin can't kill him?From a general point of view, when Zong Xin turned his back on him, the other party would definitely die. I have never seen someone who took the initiative to turn his back on Zong Xin and survived.Zhao Kuangyin's fate is really hard, no wonder Zong Xin has been using him as a talisman.

After a hasty meal, Zong Xin immediately took the four women to the guest room to sleep.Because today Zong Xin is very excited and depressed, so he needs to vent.The four women were very happy to cooperate, and when they felt that Zong Xin was in a bad mood, they were also the happiest.

The next day Zong Xin and the Persian businessman brought by Jing Qiong learned how to make wine. Zong Xin fully learned how to brew shochu in half an hour.Most of the time during this half hour was spent listening to the translator. If the two could communicate directly, Zong Xin only needed a few words to understand how to make shochu.

In fact, it only needs to change a concept. The original brewed wine is undistilled rice wine. The alcohol content of rice wine is low and there are many impurities in it.Therefore, it is only necessary to distill the alcohol in rice wine to obtain shochu with high alcohol content and no impurities.

Zongxin has already had a general direction for this concept, but distilling the alcohol in rice wine is a very complicated matter.Zong Xin knew that the boiling point and ignition point of alcohol were very low, so the alcohol in the rice wine could be evaporated by boiling the wine, but how to collect the evaporated gas was something Zong Xin had not figured out.Even if these vapors are collected, how can they be turned into wine?

After the guidance of the Persian businessman, Zong Xin had a direction.All it takes is some airtight pipes through which the distilled alcohol vapors can pass to another container to turn into shochu.A relatively long pipeline is required, and the middle section of the pipeline passes through a cold water pool, because the steam will condense into water droplets after being cooled, so this section is used as the key point for cooling the steam and turning the wine steam into shochu.

The distillation container needs to be sealed. When the steam reaches saturation, it will naturally move slowly through the pipe. As long as the pipe is lower than the original container, the shochu condensed into water droplets will naturally enter the wine container.

Zong Xin has a deep understanding of these knowledges, but he has no experience in wine making, so he has no way to connect these knowledges.If Zong Xin was allowed to think at home by himself, he might not be able to make a shochu still for many years, but he quickly learned this knowledge after being reminded by others.

When Zong Xin drank for the first time, he dreamed of bringing this kind of wine back to the Central Plains. He had heard that some people never got drunk after a thousand cups. The reason was simply because they drank rice wine with very low alcohol content.After having shochu, let alone a thousand cups, you will be drunk after drinking a few cups.

However, shochu plays a great role in the development of various aspects. For example, in medical treatment, alcohol has the best sterilization and anti-inflammatory effects, and shochu can be burned to facilitate future killings and arson.

With shochu, shochu can not only become a must-have drink for every household, but also an important war resource, because most soldiers on the battlefield suffer from trauma, so it is impossible to have so many medicines for every soldier. And the effects of these drugs are not very good.But as long as the wine is poured on the wound, at least it will not be infected, which can greatly improve the survival probability of soldiers.
