Chapter 1487 Alcohol is born and the general comes
Although at that time, my own danger would greatly increase.
But Chu Chen understood all too well the principle that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. He knew that his purpose in coming to this world was to experience life.
Therefore, risk is also a form of experience.
"Know something!"
Sure enough, Dong Shilan's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Chu Chen, I have a request."
Chu Chen nodded, signaling her to continue.
"Tell your sister how to deal with bacteria, okay? Your sister will pay for it."
"Hehe, I'm not a god, but if you need to use it on the battlefield to treat external injuries, I can help you concoct some antiseptic solution."
Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Dong Shilan was overjoyed.
Whether it's true or not, why not give it a try? If he actually pulls it off, the Song Kingdom's military strength will be elevated to another level.
So she stood up: "Alright, in that case, thank you in advance. How long will it take?"
"Half a month!"
"Someone will come looking for you in half a month, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Dong Shilan led Lu Feng downstairs. Lu Feng, at Dong Shilan's behest, bought a full ten thousand taels of silver worth of the finest Xianrenzui wine at Xianrenzui.
Moreover, the purchase was made after Chu Chen went upstairs, with the aim of allowing Chu Chen to make some money.
After they left, Chu Chen didn't pay any attention to it, but was thinking about the alcohol.
High-purity alcohol cannot be produced, but 75% is estimated to be achievable.
After making up his mind, Chu Chen went straight back to the courtyard, then started to build a fire and begin the process of brewing wine.
Pour the spirits into the pot and continue the distillation process.
Half a day later, he applied some to his arm, and sure enough, a cool sensation came over him.
Next, I let the alcohol I made cool, then dipped a little into some tissue paper, and sure enough, it ignited immediately.
Looking at the results of his half-day's work, Chu Chen smiled. Although he didn't know if what he had produced could be considered alcohol, it should be fine for disinfection.
For treating some knife wounds, it might be usable directly.
After making about a jar of alcohol, Chu Chen covered it with a lid, sealed it with mud, and stuffed it under the bed. Then he went out again to the Divine Drunken Wine Shop.
Three days later, Fatty Tiger and Niu Zi finished preparing the warehouse, and Chu Chen went directly to instruct them on how to brew wine.
The distillation technique was entirely handed over to Niu Zi and Pang Hu.
Chu Chen didn't hide the technology from his two good brothers; he simply instructed them to keep it a secret.
Niu Zi confidently declared that he wouldn't even let his own wife handle the distillation process.
This concerns how the three of them can make money directly. Chu Chen doesn't care. Even if Niu Zi or Pang Hu leaks it, he will only lose one way to make money.
With modern thinking that's hundreds of years old, a mere strong liquor is nothing to me.
However, if such a thing really happens, it could also make Chu Chen see a person for who they truly are.
All things considered, it's not a loss.
Fifty days later, seeing that the wine in the warehouse could be distilled normally, Chu Chen called Pang Hu and Niu Zi together.
"The liquor business is now entirely in your hands. Thank you for your hard work."
"Brother Chen, what are you going to do?"
Fat Tiger immediately asked, feeling uneasy without Chu Chen.
"Well, what I mean is, I won't get involved in management anymore. I'll go do other things, and you guys just need to run the distillery well."
Niu Zi seemed much calmer.
"Brother Chen, you're thinking of making candy, aren't you?"
"Yes."
When are you going?
"No rush, let me finish it first."
The two didn't dare to ask any further questions. After watching Chu Chen leave, they went back to work in the winery.
Chu Chen turned and walked towards the courtyard. He was thinking about the sugarcane at home; if left any longer, it would probably spoil, let alone be used to make sugar.
However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he saw a dozen soldiers with standard weapons slung over their waists guarding the entrance.
A man who looked like a general, riding a large horse, was waiting for him.
Chu Chen then realized that he had forgotten about the alcohol incident. That day, Dong Shilan said that someone came looking for her. Could it be this general-looking man?
Therefore, Dong Shilan was undoubtedly the emperor.
During this time, he made some inquiries and learned that the Song Kingdom was currently ruled by an empress.
Who else could it be besides Dong Shilan?
Upon seeing Chu Chen return, the general on horseback immediately dismounted, cupped his hands, and said, "It must be Young Master Chu who has returned."
"My name is Tang Yun. I greet Young Master Chu."
"General Tang, Chu Chen greets you."
Now that everyone understands everything, there's no need to hide anything.
Chu Chen opened the courtyard gate and welcomed him inside.
"Young Master Chu, I have come here on His Majesty's orders to retrieve something from you. Please do me this favor."
Tang Yun was an impatient man with a strong and powerful physique, making him look like a seasoned veteran.
“My sister Shilan is quite serious about this, as she was able to send a general of such high rank as you, General.”
Tang Yun was slightly taken aback after hearing this. "Sister Shilan, it seems that this Young Master Chu has an unusual relationship with His Majesty."
So young, could he be the disciple of some super big shot?
"His Majesty said that the item in Young Master Chu's possession can reduce the number of casualties among our soldiers. This is a matter of great importance to the Song Kingdom and must be taken seriously."
After hearing this, Chu Chen was immediately certain that Dong Shilan was the Empress. He could tell from Tang Yun's surprised expression that he was wondering about his relationship with the Empress.
So he turned and walked back into the room, and when he came out again, he had a jar in his hand.
Looking at the jar in Chu Chen's hand, Tang Yun was very puzzled, thinking that His Majesty had sent him all the way from the capital just for this jar.
Could it be that the jar contains some incredible treasure? But even if it were incredibly powerful, it wouldn't be enough to reduce the number of casualties among the soldiers.
Chu Chen carefully placed the jar on the stone table in the courtyard.
Did His Majesty tell you what he was retrieving?
Tang Yun shook his head, indicating that he was unaware of the matter.
"Alright, then I'll tell you today that this is called alcohol, and it's used for disinfection."
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen opened the jar, and a strong aroma of wine filled the entire courtyard.
"Alcohol? The essence of wine..."
Tang Yun let out a questioning sound and reached out to dip his finger in the water and put it in his mouth, but Chu Chen stopped him.
"Um... General Tang, this is an exceptionally clean medicine. Do you have any of your men who have recently been injured and have swollen wounds?"
Tang Yun immediately understood that this young master Chu wanted to prove it to him by conducting experiments to test the efficacy of the substance.
