Chapter 101: Brewing Workshop is about to open

"cough."

Chu Wuxun coughed lightly.

"Speaking of which... I have already sent someone to make the brewing tools that Miss Jiang mentioned before."

"It's the New Year now, maybe we can try brewing some wine and sell it in the capital."

Um?

Selling wine?

Jiang Yueyao became interested instantly.

As we all know, alcoholic beverages have the highest profit margins.

What's more...

Anyone who visits relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year must bring two bottles of good wine.

Oh, she had thought that it would take a long time to make these tools and they wouldn’t be ready in time for the New Year, but who knew... that they would be made so quickly!

"What are you waiting for? Let's get started now!"

As for investing in expanding operations...

Well, there’s no rush.

Anyway, the Chinese New Year is the busiest time for business, so we can’t stop the renovations.

Maybe after the New Year's Eve sale of the drinks, the money earned will be enough to cover the investment required.

Then you don't have to pay for it yourself.

…

…

[Tsk tsk tsk…]

[Or else I would say that handsome guy is reliable]

[Not only the equipment is ready, but also the production site is ready]

[Look, look... a wine brewing workshop has found such a quiet place, with a good environment, large space, and convenient transportation]

[It’s so cool to have such a big guy doing business with me! 】

Jiang Yueyao took a carriage to the workshop prepared by Chu Wuxiang. She was extremely satisfied just by looking at the appearance and hardware conditions.

After entering, I felt more reassured when I saw the clean and tidy environment and the people who looked well-trained.

that is……

[Why are all of them middle-aged men? Aren’t there any young people? ]

"These are veterans from the war... Every one of them can be trusted completely."

Chu Wuxun began to explain.

Actually...

What Chu Wuxun didn't say was.

From the moment these people entered the brewery, they could no longer leave.

In fact, if it was just brewing wine, it wouldn't be a big deal, but according to Jiang Yueyao... this method can not only brew high-concentration wine, but also produce alcohol for use in the military.

Then the confidentiality level of this matter will have to be greatly adjusted.

When Chu Wuxiang reported this matter to His Majesty, His Majesty set the tone... The brewery must not make any mistakes.

In the workshop, one can enter but cannot exit.

Although Chu Wuxun had tried to allow these people to leave after working for ten years, His Majesty directly rejected the proposal.

so……

Chu Wuxun could only turn to take better care of these people's descendants.

To be honest, Chu Wuhuang felt a little guilty when he walked into the brewery, but those people were all very happy.

King Jing could take care of their descendants, so that their children would have land to farm, food to eat, clothes to wear, and the ability to go to school. Whether they studied or joined the army in the future, King Jing would take care of them...

Not to mention being locked up in the workshop and unable to leave, even if they were asked to give up their lives, they would be willing to do so!

Moreover, in this workshop, although we cannot go out, the work is not hard, the food and accommodation are the best... and people send in all kinds of novel gadgets from time to time.

There were even people who taught them how to read and write, and sent them books to read.

This day...

I'm afraid the ladies and concubines in the palace who cannot leave are no different.

So when Jiang Yueyao came in and saw that everyone in the workshop was in such good spirits, she thought that Chu Wuxun had used some kind of motivational method.

Chu Wuhuang didn't want Jiang Yueyao to know such a sad thing, so he started talking about the brewing process.

When it comes to her own small amount of money, Jiang Yueyao is very concerned.

Not to mention, the equipment that Chu Wuxun had made is quite good. At least in this era, it is quite good.

Besides, distilling wine is not a complicated matter.

After a few attempts, a strong liquor with a rich aroma was soon distilled out.

"This……"

Chu Wuhuang watched the production process of the so-called strong liquor with his own eyes, and he couldn't believe it...it was so simple.

But...

The wine that was brought to me was indeed fragrant, and I took a sip...

The strongest wine in the Chu State is not even a bit as good as this wine.

“Good wine!”

Chu Wudang drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and his originally pale face became rosy.

[Hey, this is the first time I drink this kind of strong liquor and I dare to drink it in one gulp]

[Handsome brother, I respect you as a man! ]

[Don’t say that, please don’t say that… The way the handsome guy’s face is slightly red is really…]

"Yaoyao!"

At one side, Jiang Yuehua heard her sister's increasingly improper thoughts, and quickly called Jiang Yueyao.

Although he knew what Jiang Yueyao was thinking, His Royal Highness Prince Jing could not hear it.

but……

For some reason, Jiang Yuehua just didn't want her sister to continue talking.

Jiang Yueyao was a good and obedient child. When she heard her sister calling her, she immediately ran over.

"Sister, you called me? What's the matter?"

"cough."

Jiang Yuehua just used the interruption technique, there was no real problem.

Facing her sister's innocent big eyes, Jiang Yuehua thought for a moment...

"Yaoyao, didn't you say you had some alcohol? The kind that can be used to heal wounds..."

"Oh, this one."

[That’s right, my sister is a miracle doctor, she must be more concerned about alcohol]

[Fortunately, I have already remembered the method to get it out before.]

Actually, the highest alcohol purity you can get from distillation is 90%.

So in her previous life, Jiang Yueyao used to distill this highly concentrated mixture of alcohol and water with quicklime in the laboratory.

When enough lime is added to alcohol, the quicklime reacts with water to become slaked lime, but it does not react with white wine.

So the liquid left at this time is pure alcohol, and after a little distillation, you can get anhydrous ethanol, which is medical alcohol.

[Oh my, I am so smart! ]

[By the way, the slaked lime produced can also be used in the construction field... such as building roads and houses... Oh my God, is this fairy going to develop a production line? ]

[By the way, you can also build walls! ]

[City walls these days are all built with bricks. If cement is added... wouldn't it be really solid as a rock?]

[This is a great achievement. No, I have to find a way to put the blame on my dad!]

[Well, let’s go back and study it]

On the side, Jiang Yuehua and Chu Wuxun heard Jiang Yueyao's inner voice: ...

Get some alcohol... and still build houses and walls?

Is there really an impregnable wall in this world?

If there really is...

Doesn't it mean that Da Chu will no longer have to worry about foreign invasions in the future?

This……

In an instant, Jiang Yuehua and Chu Wuxun's eyes lit up.

Jiang Yueyao is truly a fairy sent down by God for their Great Chu!
