When he got up the next day, Xu Ping first asked Xu Chang to buy coal, which was mostly called stone carbon. After asking, he found out that there was a ship transporting stone carbon in the Jinshui River. In fact, Xu's restaurant used wine to fry wine. He asked someone to bring a letter to the restaurant and asked Liu Xiaoyi to send a car back.

Today is April Gengwu, the thirteenth day, and tomorrow is the current emperor's birthday Tianchen Festival. I remember that I would continue to study after the festival, so Xu Ping had a headache. He was not tired of going to school, but was not interested in what he taught, and felt that he could not learn any knowledge he needed from it. This was torture.

After breakfast, Xu Ping took Xu Chang and Gao Daquan around the wilderness. He wanted to see which crops were available here. The world was a bit messy in plant varieties.

Sure enough, I found a lot of alfalfa and was growing in full bloom. Xu Ping sighed: "This alfalfa is suitable for planting in the farm, but unfortunately there are no seeds now."

Gao Daquan said: "Why do officials have to worry about this? This is how many alfalfas were collected by the horse prison, and they all need to be scattered in the grass. Now many of the herds and herdsmen have them in their hands, just buy them."

Xu Pingxi said: "There is still this?"

"That's natural. This grass horse loves to eat the most, but if you eat too much cattle and sheep, you will get sick. The place where the cattle and sheep department takes over will not be planted. It's strange that I have also gone to many places, and this kind of alfalfa is only available in this place. There are several other types of grass and trees that cannot be seen in other places, and they even disappear after leaving Zhongmu County."

When Xu Ping heard Gao Daquan say this, he felt a little moved and asked him, "Where is the peanut?"

Gao Daquan smiled and said, "The peanuts are only produced in this place, and there is no other place. If I hadn't been to Chunze Supervisor's horses, I would never have imagined that there would be such things in the world. There is also a kind of fruit, which I have never heard of. It's about the same color as a persimmon, but it's grass-born, not as sweet as that, but it's sour and delicious."

Xu Chang said on the side: "That's grass persimmon."

Xu Ping glanced at Xu Chang and thought to himself, it turns out that you call persimmon, which is obviously tomatoes or tomatoes, so you can find the place of origin. But you feel at ease. These things are only produced here and come from the same place as you, so they must be related to it. It seems that they are really a benefit for you to travel through time.

After a while, except for the variety I saw in the vegetable garden that day, I found a piece of sweet sorghum. I couldn't help but feel ecstatic and asked, "Is anyone growing this?"

Xu Chang said: "Is Milime? People have planted it, but there are very few people. They can only be used as snacks for children. The food produced is not much and the quality is poor, so farmers don't like it."

Xu Ping walked up, looked left and right, almost laughing to the sky. This is a variety that came from his previous life. It is in that world. It is also a species that is very jealous. The adaptability and economic value are simply unbelievable. The only pity is that the two advantages of this variety are useless to Xu Ping now. One is that it can produce alcohol efficiently, which is better than sweet potatoes, but wine is exclusively sold at this time. The other is that this plant produces sugar. The sugar content of this excellent variety is almost as high as sugar cane. However, Xu Ping does not know the specific process of extracting sugar from it, and it is impossible to study it. The only function left is to be used as feed, but this purpose can also remove other crops except alfalfa in seconds.

After watching for a while, Xu Ping kicked one, broke off one piece and chewed it in his mouth. It turned out to be extremely sweet. Thinking of Xiuxiu who was bored at home, he got two more and took them back to satisfy her cravings.

Finally, after transferring, I found tartels and cypress locusts. These can be planted in ditches and roadsides, which can not only prevent wind and sand, but also cure saline and alkali.

It was almost noon when he returned to the yard. Xu Ping asked Xu Chang and the others to go to work on their own and returned to the yard by themselves.

Xiuxiu sat under the tree to make needles and threads. When she saw Xu Ping coming in, she hurriedly bowed.

Xu Ping gave her the sweet sorghum: "Try it, is it sweet or not?"

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "I used to eat this as sweet stalks. It was sweet, but it was too chewy, so I stopped eating it later."

Xu Ping looked at her strangely. The little girl in her previous life liked to eat these snacks the most. Why didn’t Xiuxiu like it? She said to her: “The teeth need to be ground frequently, and the more you grind the better.”

Xiuxiu lowered her head and smiled, "The official is joking, I'm not a mouse."

Xu Ping shook his head and ignored her. He found a jar of white wine that was steamed yesterday. He wanted to increase the alcohol concentration and make alcohol lamps alone.

The white wine in the jar is about fifty or sixty degrees. This is because the steamer and the lees in the steamer have a condensation effect. You can also get high-alcohol wine without using a condenser, but it is difficult to further increase the alcohol concentration. You don’t have to think about any complicated tower distillation used in your previous life, you can only use a local method.

High-level liquor is a co-solvent of alcohol and water. It is hard to say whether alcohol is soluble in water or water in alcohol. It is fundamentally different from low-alcohol liquors. This is also the fundamental reason why traditional Chinese liquors are both high-alcohol liquors for fifty and sixty degrees. Once the liquor is reduced in alcohol, impurities will precipitate and become turbid, and the unique fragrance will disappear quickly and be unbearable to drink. As for the clear and transparent low-alcohol liquor in the past, it is a product obtained by special craftsmanship, and there is no need to think about it in this world.

There are two ways to improve alcohol content by using native methods. One is low-temperature distillation. The constant boiling point of the alcohol solution is about 80 degrees. Distillation at this temperature can obtain alcohol at 95 degrees, and there is no way to go even higher. The other is to add water-absorbing substances, such as lime and anhydrous alum. The practical value is to add lime.

Xu Ping remembered that alcohol at 70 or 80 degrees had the best burning effect, so he didn't want to trouble distillate it anymore, so he went out to find a packet of lime.

Pour the wine into a large bowl, Xu Ping put a handful of lime in.

Xiuxiu felt curious, so she came over and squatted aside and asked Xu Ping: "Official, what are you doing?"

Xu Ping had never done such a thing, and he was unsure of it, so he didn't answer Xiuxiu, but just watched.

Once the lime is added, the liquor becomes turbid, and then, it is still turbid.

Xu Ping remembered that he still needed to filter it, but what filter it? The tools of this era are really scarce, and there is no easy thing for a while. Could it be that he just kept it and slowly clarified it? You can't joke like this, alcohol will evaporate.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping sighed and said to Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, let's steam the bar."

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Didn't the official let the shopkeeper finish steaming outside? Why do you still have to steam it?"

Xu Ping smiled mysteriously: "This time it's a little different."

Xiuxiu was also a child's character, so she found a piece of bamboo strips, cut it on the big bowl with the wine, carefully covered it, and then applied it with mud on it. She placed an empty big bowl next to it, and still used mud to mud.

I found two more pottery basins, put the bowls in, and connected the two bowls with bamboo tubes.

Xu Ping asked Xiuxiu to boil water, and fetched cold water and poured it into the basin of an empty bowl.

After Xiuxiu boiled the water, she poured it into the bowl of the wine bowl. Xu Ping was afraid that the temperature was too high, so he hurriedly added a bowl of cold water. He didn't know what the temperature was inside, as long as it was less than the boiling point of the water.

After everything was done, she squatted aside with Xiuxiu and watched. She felt that the temperature of the hot water dropped, so she asked Xiuxiu to add water.

After a while, a dripping sound came out of the empty bowl. Xu Ping was happy and found another empty bowl and took out the despicable slices of the wine bowl. Half a bowl of wine inside, emitting a strong smell of wine.

Xu Ping poured some empty bowls in his hand and said to Xiuxiu: "You go to the stove to get a burnt firewood and bring Mars."

Xiuxiu took the firewood, Xu Ping took it, pulled her back a few steps, and reached the bottom of the bowl from the firewood, and the wine suddenly rose and emitted a blue flame.

Xiuxiu was startled and said strangely: "So this wine party is roasting! Is this sour wine?"

Xu Ping laughed: "Of course, of course, this is soju!"

I was overjoyed, and it was indeed done, but I didn’t know how much alcohol was. I don’t have to worry about these complex problems, as long as it can be burned.

After waiting for a while, the heat in the bowl went out. When I went over, I saw that there was no drop left at the bottom of the bowl, and there was not even water.

Seeing that the alcohol made was as good as his wish, Xu Ping and Xiuxiu steamed it for a while until they had already collected half a bowl before stopping.

He still covered most of the bowl of alcohol with smear and mud. This time, he did not insert the bamboo tube. Xu Ping asked Xiuxiu to find a long wick and used this bowl to make an alcohol lamp.

When Xu Ping turned on the lamp, he looked at the sky. The bright sunlight shone on the sky and the earth. He had no idea how bright the light was. He had to wait until the night to try again. God blessed him to be brighter than the oil lamp, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.

It was because of the need to turn off the alcohol lamp, but Xu Ping found that he had no idea how to start. This was an alcohol lamp, which contained high concentrations of alcohol, which was extremely irritating to blow Mars into it.

After thinking for a while, I found a piece of bamboo tube, cut it up and put it on the fire, and it took a while to get it out.

Seeing Xiuxiu curious on the side, Xu Ping said to her: "Xiuxiu, remember, this lamp can only be turned off in this way, and you must not blow it with your mouth!"

Xiuxiuqi said: "Why? What happens if you blow it?"

Xu Ping pulled her face to scare her: "Don't worry about why, if you go and blow, there will be no Xiuxiu in the world."

Xiuxiu looked at Xu Ping and laughed after a while: "The official saw that I was young, so he used such words to scare me. I am not a child anymore."

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Xu Ping was a little impatient and refused to let her see her, and he might cause trouble in the future.

I found a slender bamboo tube, and it was made clear inside. I pulled Xiuxiu away from the lit alcohol lamp, aimed the bamboo tube at it, and Xu Ping puffed up his mouth to blow.

The bamboo tube is a bit long, and it can't be blown away at once.

Xiuxiu looked at Xu Ping's cheeks bulging high, and felt a little funny, and said to him: "Don't coax me anymore, you're so tired. I'll blow it to you."

Xu Ping was anxious and stood on tiptoe. The bamboo tube aimed at the flame from top to bottom and blew it in one breath.

With a "bang", the alcohol lamp exploded.

Fortunately, the thick porcelain bowl has thick skin and thick flesh, and is very strong, but it is just fried into several large pieces.

Xiuxiu was covering her mouth while covering her mouth, and she was already shocked.
