Chapter 108 Practice

Li San Niang took an empty teacup from the table, picked up the small wine pot and poured a shallow amount into the bottom of the teacup. She held the teacup away from her nose, and the smell became less pungent.

However, looking at the pale yellow liquid at the bottom of the teacup, Li San Niang knew that the color was not clear and transparent because the purification technology was not properly controlled or because of the original wine.

But the pungent smell it had before definitely reminded me of the disinfectant alcohol from my past life.

"Sir, you are quick on your feet. I thought you were too busy to see me, but it turns out you were in such a hurry that you had already done it."

This time it was Mr. Impatience who was impatient, but he still asked with restraint, "Third Miss, do you think this alcohol is made correctly?"

Li San Niang found it somewhat amusing to see Mr. Bu Ke leaning forward with a calm expression.

Li San Niang stopped arguing. She put down her teacup, sat up straight, and looked at Mr. Bu Ke seriously, saying, "Sir, this must have been made using the strongest liquor on the market as a base, and according to the blueprints I asked my elder brother to send over, to create the distillation apparatus, right?"

Mr. Ke then showed a hint of embarrassment, after all, it could only be done using Li San Niang's method.

However, Mr. Bu Ke, with his eight hundred cunning schemes and an unusually thick skin, suppressed his shame and resumed his aloof demeanor, replying slowly and deliberately: "Yes, Third Sister has a good eye, it is indeed baijiu. As for the distillation, according to Third Sister, the distillation equipment was indeed made according to Third Sister's blueprints. To be honest, it really took a lot of effort, and we found many skilled craftsmen who worked day and night to get it done in these few days."

“The smell is right,” Li San Niang paused for a moment, then continued, “but the color is a bit flawed, it’s still a bit yellowish. It must be because the purification is not thorough enough, the purity is not high enough.”

Mr. Bu Ke nodded. "We originally wanted to follow Third Sister's method to distill the wine multiple times to make it purer, but after several attempts, we don't know which step we did wrong, and it just wouldn't work."

"Also, sir, has this alcohol been tested on an injured person?"

Li San Niang didn't know if the Bad Guys had already produced the alcohol and tested its effects, or if they had simply produced it but hadn't had time to test it yet.

Mr. Ke shook his head, "I haven't had anyone try it yet."

Suddenly, Brother Li pulled a short dagger from his boot, and with a "whoosh," he pulled it out of its sheath, revealing a dagger with a blood groove and a sharpened edge, indicating that it had seen blood.

Li San Niang was helpless; she couldn't agree with her brother Li's martial arts style.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Brother Li shook his head at Third Sister Li and handed the dagger to Brother Li standing behind him.

Li San Niang stood up quickly and walked to Li Da Xiong's side, raising her hand to try and snatch the short dagger.

That would definitely not allow Li San Niang to succeed. Brother Li threw it backhand, and the short dagger was flipped over. He grabbed the hilt with his right hand and smoothly inserted it into the scabbard held in his left hand.

In fact, all of this happened in just two or three seconds.

Just then, Brother Li was about to reprimand Li San Niang for rushing up to snatch the dagger and not being afraid of hurting herself.

But Li's father was the first to stand up, pointing angrily at Li San Niang with his right hand, "San Niang, are you sure you can do this! If it weren't for your eldest brother's quick hands, would you still have those fingers that you used to stitch up and save people? I've spoiled you since you were little, you're not afraid of anything!"

Looking at her angry father and her brother who was giving her a cold shoulder, Li San Niang finally showed a hint of fear.

"I was afraid that my elder brother would use a knife to cut my younger brother, so I thought of coming up to grab the dagger."

Li San Niang explained in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Li Dalang, who was also looking frightened, explained to Li Sanniang in an innocent, helpless but relieved tone: "Aunt, Father gave me the dagger so that I could go to the kitchen, get a rabbit, and cut it, not to cut me."

"Did we buy a rabbit?"

Li Dalang nodded helplessly and said, "The day before yesterday, my mother took Luzhu to the market and saw a white rabbit that she wanted. So my mother bought two of them, and now the rabbits are eating grass in the cage in the kitchen."

Li San Niang lowered her head, feeling uneasy, thinking that she had really lost face in front of the Bad People this time.

"It's all because my eldest brother has been strict with my eldest son since he was a child. He would beat him whenever he wanted. None of the sons in the family are not afraid of my eldest brother."

"You..." Brother Li heard Li San Niang complaining about herself, though she lowered her voice slightly, but still spoke at a volume that everyone present could hear.

"Haha," Mr. Bu Ke, one of only two people in the room who wasn't a member of the Li family, couldn't help but laugh out loud at Li San Niang's blunder.

Mr. Impossible's hunchbacked servant always had the same expression.

Mr. Ke cleared his throat, suppressing his laughter, before speaking: "Third Madam, due to time constraints, I haven't had anyone test it yet. I just came to check if the alcohol is made correctly."

Li San Niang sat back down and nodded. "Sir, the purification is quite good, but whether it can achieve the disinfection function I mentioned, we'll have to test it to find out."

What is the meaning of this practice?

"Let's see what it's really like."

"Third Sister, what is the meaning of this?"

Li San Niang didn't expect to speak her mind so directly. "Sir, you can find ten rabbits and divide them into two groups. Make a shallow cut on one rabbit with a clean knife and leave it alone; make a shallow cut on the other rabbit with a clean knife and apply some of this purified alcohol."

Not to mention Mr. Ke, even Li's father and the others understood what Li San Niang meant after hearing what she said. This is classification comparison, which can better confirm whether a single variable affects a certain result.

Mr. Ke listened and nodded. Li San Niang continued, "After making a shallow cut with a clean knife, apply some common wound medicine. Then, you can change the variables, such as using a clean or dirty knife, making a deeper or shallower cut, or using more or less alcohol, etc. You should be able to test the effectiveness of the alcohol."

"After hearing what you said, Third Sister, I truly admire your ingenious ideas. I have another request, and I hope you can help me with it."

"Sir, please speak."

"I would like to trouble you, Third Sister, to come to our place and help us find out if we did something wrong that prevented us from continuing the distillation and purification of the alcohol. We will come back to tell you about the experiment you mentioned once we have the results."

“No problem, just call me when the time comes. I would like to ask you if anyone from our Bad People group will be at the Imperial Medical Bureau after the alcohol is made? I asked you to send me the blueprints and method, not only to promote the method and save more people, but also to participate in the distribution of the profits behind this alcohol.”

Li San Niang adjusted her posture, sat up straight, and said to Mr. Bu Ke in a serious tone, "Sir, you know that I want to establish an alliance after joining the alliance, and name it the Women's Helping Association, right?"
