Distilling spirits isn't difficult.
The boiling point of alcohol is 78.5 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, as long as there is brewed wine, by heating it to a temperature between 78.5℃ and 100℃, a higher concentration of alcohol can be extracted.
Zhang Mingtu has received higher education, so extracting alcohol or extracting high-concentration liquor is not difficult for him.
To purify wine, you first need wine.
Zhang Jishi likes to drink, so he has several jars of old wine at home.
It is a rice wine made from glutinous rice. It has a low alcohol content and a sweet taste.
Zhang Mingtu took a jar of soup from the big vat and went straight to the kitchen to prepare it.
Zhang Mingtu does not have professional test tube facilities, but he is not trying to extract perfect alcohol.
It just needs to extract a stronger liquor than ordinary rice wine.
It's easy to say but difficult to do.
Zhang Mingtu failed several times in a row.
First of all, controlling the temperature is a big problem, after all, there is no professional thermometer here.
Zhang Mingtu chose to boil a large pot of water and use the steam to steam.
After all, water vapor is about 100℃, and it is much easier to steam wine in the air than to put it in a pot.
Then use a bamboo tube as a diversion tube.
After a busy morning and several failures, I finally managed to distill a small jar.
Looking at the extremely clear liquor with few impurities, Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but smile.
Use a bamboo tube to make a small cup and take a sip.
Suddenly, my mouth felt like it was on fire, and a stream of heat rushed from my throat straight to my stomach.
"Cough cough cough~"
Zhang Mingtu doesn't drink much, and this sip made him cough repeatedly and he almost couldn't hold it.
But a look of joy appeared on his face.
His production method was still crude, the equipment was simple, and the alcohol content of the purified and distilled liquor was not that high, at most 30 or 40 degrees.
But it is much better than the ordinary rice wine with an alcohol content of about 10%.
"Huh, this road is finally passable."
Zhang Mingtu felt relieved, and the aches and pains all over his body seemed to have eased a lot.
"Alas, the recovery is too slow!"
Zhang Mingtu felt a little helpless as he felt the soreness and swelling in his limbs and torso.
The Bull's Power Fist can speed up recovery and strengthen muscles and bones.
Exercise can help the body recover faster, but the prerequisite is enough nutrition.
The food that Zang Mintu eats at home is considered very good. If he doesn't practice boxing, it can support Zhang Mingtu's daily consumption.
If you practice boxing, that food will not be enough.
"prescription……"
Zhang Mingtu hesitated slightly after touching the recipes for Eight Treasures Soup and Four Substances Soup in his arms.
He returned to the room and collected all the dozens of copper coins.
This is roughly equivalent to half a penny of silver and can be paired with a simple eight-treasure soup.
Instead of going directly to the pharmacy outside, he went to the herbal medicine shop of Weiyuan Escort Agency.
There are many people who practice martial arts in the escort agency, and martial arts is even the capital of the escort agency's survival.
For injuries sustained during martial arts practice, medicines that strengthen the body and replenish the vital energy are essential.
There is a medicine shop in the escort agency that specializes in collecting medicinal herbs. Family members can buy medicinal herbs there at a two-cent discount compared to outside.
It can also be considered a kind of benefit for the family disciples.
Buying the medicinal herbs went smoothly. Even the shopkeeper who was responsible for selling the herbs knew Zhang Mingtu. Of course, he didn't have a very deep impression of Zhang Mingtu.
Maybe they are related or have some connection.
The shopkeeper's surname was also Zhang, but the relationship was too complicated for Zhang Mingtu to tell.
The Weiyuan Escort Agency is mainly run by the Zhang family, but there are also a few other escorts scattered around, so most of the important positions are held by members of the Zhang family.
After buying the medicinal herbs, Zhang Mingtu was completely penniless, with his pockets shabbier than his face.
"My whole body aches. It's probably because my Qi and blood aren't enough to recover. I should take Siwu Tang..."
Siwu Decoction is simple to make. Medicine and martial arts are inseparable, and the medicines in the pharmacy have all been processed, dried or crushed.
If you want to stew it, use a casserole and add the herbs in the prescribed order.
After stewing in the casserole for about half an hour, the house was already filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
As soon as Zhang Mingtu took a whiff, he felt that the blood and qi in his body were slightly stimulated, and the pain in his body was relieved a bit. He knew that this was more of a psychological effect.
Carefully pour out a bowl, then add water back into the casserole and continue stewing.
After being stewed once, most of the medicinal properties of the herbs have been absorbed into the soup, but there are still some left, which Zhang Mingtu does not want to waste.
"Such an embarrassing life... Hey, it seems like I was like this every day in my previous life. It's okay then."
Place the Siwu Decoction near your mouth and blow it carefully to cool it down, then take it in small sips.
After about half a minute, Zhang Mingtu felt a warmth rising from his stomach and flowing throughout his body.
He knew that it was the effect of the medicine that made him feel refreshed.
With his legs spread apart, a clear image of a wild bull emerged in his mind.
The inside of the bull, especially the area where the stomach and intestines were located, suddenly became bright.
And all four areas lit up. At this moment, Zhang Mingtu felt as if his stomach was connected to a bottomless pit, and was suddenly filled with intense hunger.
The heat emitted by the Siwu Decoction in the body was completely consumed.
The gastrointestinal motility is much greater than usual, and a gentle and long-lasting force emanates from the body, caressing the entire body.
Especially the part where Zhang Mingtu exerted force and caused painful muscle tearing, the drug gained a lot of power.
Zhang Mingtu felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring. He felt lazy and had no energy at all.
