If you really want to do it, it's actually quite simple.
Distillation is mentioned in the Compendium of Materia Medica: "Distilling liquor is not an ancient method, it was created in the Yuan Dynasty. The method uses strong liquor and dregs, steaming them to make steam rise, and using a container to collect the dripping dew. Any sour and spoiled liquor can be steamed and burned.
This is liquid distillation, which mainly involves the cooling of wine vapor and the collection of distilled wine.
Get a distillation pot and connect it to a condenser. The wine will gather in the wine tank inside the distillation pot and will be collected in the condenser after being discharged.
Although she had never been exposed to traditional distillation, the principle was very simple and anyone who had done experiments could probably do it.
There are iron mines in Qinzhou, so the iron here is not too expensive, but iron will rust, so it is better to use copper. You can try making a small set first.
There is no rush to deal with this matter in one or two days. For now, we should settle the workshop matters first.
So the next day, Tang Shiyue called Qi Jing, and the two of them walked around the village first, trying to choose a suitable place to build a workshop.
Because many people will use it in the future, certainly not just the villagers. In addition, wool has the characteristics of being afraid of moisture and fire, so all these have to be taken into consideration.
The two of them were talking and chatting, and it seemed that they were just wandering around. After walking around for a while, they were about to reach the entrance of the martial arts hall. They saw the second aunt of Tang Dahuai's family coming over with a smile, and called her from a distance: "Yuer!"
...
...
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows.
The second aunt was Tang Dongzi's mother, and also the mother of Tang Qiuer who died in the courtyard of Master Niu in the town. Because of Tang Qiuer's incident, she didn't like her very much and just responded casually.
The second aunt started to chat with him, "Did our Dongzi ask you to send him to town?"
Tang Shiyue nodded: "Yeah."
When Second Aunt saw that she didn't explain at all, a trace of anger flashed across her face.
She then lowered her head and wiped her tears, saying, "Yuer, our Dongzi is still young, and I know he can't do any big work. So you usually ask him to run errands, drive the cart, and do some trivial things. These are what they should do. Since you are the head of the family, we dare not say anything. But he is so young, and you ask him to hang out with those men in town. He really can't do it. What if he learns bad things? We are relatives after all, so please do me a favor and don't ask him to do these things..."
Tang Shiyue's face darkened immediately.
She never had a good impression of this family, but because Tang Dongzi was smart and motivated, she gave him a chance.
But what the hell does "You are the boss and we dare not say anything" mean? Did she bully him?
Tang Dongzi was too weak and young to be a skilled worker in the winery. After he became a skilled worker, he just had to repeat the same tasks mechanically and did not learn anything at all.
She asked him to drive the cart because he was sweet-talking and good at dealing with people. She wanted to take him to see the world and educate him. When she asked him to drive the cart, she always gave him extra copper coins or things. But when she said it, it was all wrong.
Besides, why does he look down on Han Yi? He has seen much more of the world than you!
My kindness was really taken for granted!
Given Tang Shiyue's current status, no one dares to confront her head-on, and Second Aunt can only play the victim.
But there are several big trees where they are standing. Ever since Qi Jing had stone tables and stone benches installed, it has become a gathering place for old men and women in the village. Even young people like to come here with their bowls to eat. Otherwise, they would be busy making jelly and bean curd all day and would not even have time to gossip.
Others made room for her, and Tang Shiyue sat down on the stone bench, looking at her calmly. He kept looking at her until she couldn't cry anymore, and then he said, "Aunt, do you mean this for yourself, or for your uncle and second grandfather?"
She was actually quite annoyed with Tang Dahuai.
Tang Dahuai is the kind of person who lets the women in his family handle everything, and if things go wrong, he just says "women are ignorant" and forgets about it, saying that he has nothing to do with it. This kind of low-level hypocrite is not as good as a real villain.
She also insisted on exposing the matter to the public, so that he could not pretend. This was also imitating the old patriarch's behavior.
The second aunt obviously didn't expect her to ask this, so she said awkwardly: "I just came to talk to you, it's nothing serious."
Tang Shiyue would not allow her to pretend to be confused, "You mean, they don't know about this?"
Second Aunt was not a strong person, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment: "This matter is just something we women can talk about..."
"Second Aunt," Tang Shiyue said, "Although I am a woman, I am not in charge of women's affairs now, and Tang Dongzi is not a woman either, so if you can't be the head of the family, go back first and find someone who can be the head of the family to talk to. I will wait for you for half an hour."
She turned around and called a child, "Gou'er, go to my house and tell Grandma Ye that Jing and I are having dinner here."
The child agreed and went.
The children in the village loved to run errands for her, and Mrs. Ye was generous and never let them go empty-handed.
After a while, Mrs. Ye came with a tray and bowls of rice. Tang Shiyue and Qi Jing sat down at the stone table to eat, and also asked the cooked ones to sit down and eat with them.
While eating, she saw from the corner of her eye that her second uncle and his wife were arguing in the corner of the house not far away. The second uncle pushed the second aunt and cursed, "Useless woman!"
But after all, Tang Dongzi was a boy, and his family valued him very much. After a while, the second uncle came over and smiled awkwardly: "Yuer."
Tang Shiyue smiled and asked him to sit down.
The second uncle sat down and chatted for a long time before saying, "Our Dongzi is an honest child. Let him go to the wine shop to learn some skills. We are all ordinary people. We dare not associate with those gangsters and hooligans who learn to eat, drink, gamble and have sex... You should also think about the relationship between relatives. You don't want people to say that the head of the Tang family is bullying you..."
In the end, even moral kidnapping came into play.
Tang Shiyue sneered, and she called a child again: "Shitou, go to the wine shop and call Xiaojiu over, and tell him that I need him for something."
Chen Jiu arrived soon, and Tang Shiyue said to him, "Go to town and find Boss Han. Tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with Tang Dongzi, and ask him to come back immediately."
Chen Jiu went there quickly.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said to his second uncle, "I'll remember what you said today. From now on, I won't ask Dongzi to do these errands. Just let Dongzi learn the craft in the winery."
The second uncle was stunned and said quickly: "Dongzi can still do the work of driving a cart and running errands."
After all, Tang Shiyue was generous and he could earn a dozen or twenty cents by rushing back to the car. He was reluctant to give up this money.
hehe!
Your imagination is so beautiful, why don’t you go to heaven?
Tang Shiyue stopped smiling and said coldly, "Sugar cane cannot be sweet at both ends. The person I want to use must know everything and be able to do everything. I can't ask him to choose the work, and I can't ask others to tell me what to do. Since you don't trust me, then you can just take Tang Dongzi back."
My second uncle stood up suddenly, glared at her and wanted to scold her, saying that she was disrespectful to her elders or something like that.
But he didn't dare.
Everyone knows that in Jubao Village, no one should mess with Tang Shiyue. Not only is she capable, but she is also a blessed lady... If you mess with her, you will definitely suffer!
Second Aunt loved her son dearly and could not help but mutter, "You told our Dongzi to follow the gangsters, and you think you are right!"
Tang Shiyue pretended not to hear.
Just then, Chen Changyuan suddenly came running towards him.
