Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Of course Su knew that his father drank and wrote poems, and he drank with him several times, but he couldn't write any poems except for having a headache?" Su Dun sneered at Fan Zheng's idea.

Li Qingzhao also blushed and said: "My little sister was once curious and secretly took a sip, but it didn't taste very good?"

"It doesn't taste good?" Fan Zheng opened his eyes wide. It was well known to the whole world that Li Qingzhao loved wine in later generations, but now he said it doesn't taste good?

"That's right, if we drink, other people can also drink. What a recipe. Brother Fan, please don't hide your secrets!" Su Dun said dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Fan Zheng raised his brows and said, "Zang Xi? What kind of wine are you drinking? I have a party that can let you and others come from behind."

"Seriously?" Li Qingzhao said in surprise.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "According to Fan's observation, the wine on the market can be divided into strong wine and light wine. Some profiteers even add water to the wine to pass it off as good."

Su Dun frowned and said, "There are these behaviors, but what does this have to do with writing poetry."

Fan Zhengzheng said: "Since there are strong wine and light wine, and you can also add water to the wine, it means that the wine contains a mixture of wine and water. If we can extract the water from the wine, then what we get Isn’t it the essence of wine?”

"The essence of wine?" Su Dun's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sages who assisted wine can write famous articles. If we drink the essence of wine, wouldn't it be like a flood of literary thoughts?"

Even Li Qingzhao was excited at this moment. Many poets can write famous poems by drinking light wine. If she can get the essence of drinking, wouldn't it be...

"But when wine and water are mixed together, how can we extract the water in the wine?" Li Qingzhao frowned.

Su Dun waved his big hand and said, "In my opinion, we can imitate the method of boiling salt and boil the water dry. What is left behind may be wine!"

"My dear brother, you are a great talent!" Fan Zheng complimented casually. He certainly knew how to distill liquor, but he couldn't bring it out directly. Naturally, he was happy to let Su Dun try and make mistakes first.

The three of them did what they said. Soon, Fan Zheng dug out the ten-year-old wine collected by his father from Fan's house, found a copper pot, and poured the ten-year-old wine into it.

Soon the fire was raging, and after a while, a strong aroma of wine spread throughout Fan Mansion.

"It is indeed a ten-year-old wine! The aroma of the wine is really tempting!" Li Qingzhao smelled the intoxicating aroma of the wine and couldn't help but take a deep breath, with a trace of red appearing on his face.

Su Dun nodded in agreement. The ten-year-old wine was so fragrant and mellow. How would it taste if the essence of the wine was extracted.

However, watching the wine in the pot continue to boil, the aroma of the wine became more and more intoxicating. When only half of the wine in the pot was left, Su Dun couldn't help but take a spoonful of wine, blow it to cool down, and drink it in one gulp. Down.

"How's it going? Do you have any inspiration?" Li Qingzhao asked urgently.

"What's going on? It's as light as water and has no smell of alcohol. How can I get any inspiration?" Su Dun said with a frown.

Fan Zheng then stepped forward and pointed out: "We should have done it the other way around at that time. The wine should have evaporated and the water should have remained."

"Then what should we do? The smell of wine has run away, how can we collect the essence of the wine." Li Qingzhao said dejectedly.

"This is simple! Water turns into steam when heated and dew when cold. We only need to condense the distilled wine vapor into wine dew and collect it." Fan Zheng said confidently.

At this moment, Fan Zheng asked his servants to find a long copper pipe, bend it and connect it to the copper spout, and let the lower end hang slightly to collect the wine. In this way, the most primitive distillation device was completed.

Fan Zheng refilled the copper pot with wine and placed it on the fire to heat it. Soon the wine boiled again, accompanied by a strong aroma of wine, and drops of pungent liquid dripped from the mouth of the copper pipe.

"This is the essence of the wine!" Li Qingzhao wrinkled his nose as he smelled the pungent smell.

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, this is the essence of the wine."

Fan Zheng smelled the pungent smell and felt as if he had found a treasure. He quickly collected it. The purity of the newly refined wine was extremely high, almost reaching the purity of medical alcohol. This is a holy medicine for surgery.

Soon, the smell of the wine became more and more mellow, and Fan Zheng changed to a slightly larger container to collect the wine. A jar of old wine, in the end, only refined more than 10% of the wine!

This is of course due to the low degree of Da Song liquor, and the simple distillation equipment used by Fan Zheng and others. According to Fan Zheng's estimation, if the advanced distillation technology of later generations is followed, it is estimated that 30% of the liquor can be extracted.

"The color of the wine is clear and flawless. This is a peerless wine. It is indeed the essence of wine." Su Dun often drank his father's wine in private. When he saw the newly distilled wine, he couldn't help but praise it.

In this era, most wines are extracted using sedimentation and filtration, which inevitably contains impurities. However, the distillation method directly uses gas condensation, without any impurities. This alone has become the most outstanding wine industry in the Song Dynasty.

"The wine smells mellow, far better than the good wine on the market!" Li Qingzhao smelled the intoxicating wine, and the wine-loving gene in his body began to activate. As the saying goes, for people who don't like drinking, the smell of wine is pungent. , People who love wine smell the aroma of wine.

Moreover, when Fan Zheng opened the wine stored in the Fan family just now, the aroma of wine was already fragrant, but the essence of the wine in front of him was even better, making people salivate.

Smelling the intoxicating aroma of wine, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but get drunk, and his resistance to drinking was reduced a lot.

Su Dun was already ready to make a move and said: "With the essence of this wine, why should we worry about not being able to write a masterpiece? In the future, the name of my poem, Su Dun, will definitely be famous in the Song Dynasty, crushing my father's!"

"What a loving father and filial son!" Fan Zheng said with a twitch in his mouth.

But it can also be seen how much pressure Su Dun is under having a father who is famous all over the world.

At that moment, Fan Zheng ordered his servants to prepare dishes and hold a banquet for drinking.

"Miss Li, godbrother, do it!"

Fan Zheng raises a toast and invites you! Drink it all in one gulp!

"Dry!"

Su Dun picked up the wine glass and imitated Fan Zheng and drank it down in one gulp. Suddenly, a spicy irritation filled his throat, making his face flush.

"This wine is so strong! It is indeed the essence of wine!" Su Dun stood there for a long time before letting out a heavy breath.

When Li Qingzhao saw this, she took a sip. Her mouth was filled with spicy food and it was difficult to swallow. However, in order to be able to write a famous poem, she forced herself to drink it.

Soon, after three cups and two cups, Li Qingzhao fell in love with the fiery taste.

"Hey! Why am I so dizzy!" Li Qingzhao's face turned red and she felt light-headed. She only drank three cups and two cups. She had secretly drank so much in the past and was fine.

However, she didn't know that what she was drinking now was high-alcohol liquor, not the low-alcohol light wine she usually drank, and she became drunk without knowing it!

"Junior sister, you must be drunk!" Su Dun laughed loudly. He often drinks alcohol. Although the liquor is strong, it doesn't matter if he drinks a little now.

"Nonsense, I only drank three cups and two cups, how could I get drunk? Senior brother Fan, senior brother Qian! If we drink again, with the essence of this wine, we will definitely write a famous article for the ages. Let's see who still looks down on my female body, Li Qingzhao." Li Qingzhao. After drinking down the liquor in his hand, he stumbled and almost couldn't stand.

"You brat! Miss Li is still a woman, and you actually got her drunk!" Ma naturally knew that the three of them were drinking again, especially Li Qingzhao, so she naturally paid more attention to them and hurriedly stepped forward when she saw this.

"I only had three cups and two cups. How could I have known that she couldn't drink so much!" Fan Zheng said with a bitter smile. He only knew that Li Qingzhao in later generations loved drinking, but he didn't know that she was addicted to food.

"You brat, I'll send Miss Li back first, and I'll settle the score with you when I come back!" Ma said angrily. Li Qingzhao had just been drunk and was still conscious. If he sent back Li Qingzhao who was drunk to death, he might not be able to explain it clearly.

Although Ma liked Li Qingzhao, he was unwilling to damage Li Qingzhao's reputation. At that moment, the Fan family immediately prepared a carriage, and Ma personally escorted Li Qingzhao back.
