The first thing Zhao Ping thought of was penicillin.
Due to the ban on drugs in the Dawei Dynasty, the level of medical care was extremely poor.
Penicillin was definitely a hit.
Become a panacea that can cure all diseases.
At that time, the speed of making money will be faster than robbing a bank.
However, this thing takes a long time, and the conditions are limited, so it is not so easy to do.
Zhao Ping plans to try it first.
Success is a great weapon, and failure does not mean much loss.
He bought oranges and vegetables, and he also had steamed buns at home.
Zhao Ping separated them and placed them in a dark and humid place, waiting for them to grow penicillium.
Next is winemaking.
The wine of the Dawei Dynasty was a little stronger than water, and even the alcohol content of modern beer was not as high.
It's also sour like vinegar.
And there are too many impurities.
After Zhao Ping took a sip, he never wanted to take a second sip.
So you can definitely make money by making wine.
Moreover, there was no alcohol in the Dawei Dynasty. Zhao Ping was able to mix alcohol while making spirits.
That thing is necessary for sterilization and disinfection.
Especially when used on the battlefield, it can greatly reduce battle losses.
Although Zhao Ping has never been on the battlefield and has no idea of contacting war.
But be prepared.
In the end, Zhao Ping thought of something else, like a textile machine.
The carpenters he knows now are the Lu family and his son. They haven't even made a crossbow. It would be difficult to make a more complicated loom.
Zhao Ping lost this pass.
There is also white sugar and refined salt.
Zhao Ping has also seen related refining videos, but has not performed any specific operations.
I can only try again when I have time.
Soap, on the other hand, is relatively simple, and Zhao Ping included it as his second job.
Zhao Ping made wine first.
The Dawei Dynasty already knew how to make wine.
There is alcohol on tap.
Zhao Ping directly used the most brutal, simple and effective method - distillation.
Zhao Ping bought a clay pot, connected it to a bamboo tube, sealed it, condensed it, and the rest was heated.
He didn't carry anyone behind his back, he just did it in the hay shed.
Seeing Zhao Ping pour a jar of wine into a clay pot and start heating it, Qian Liu became anxious, "Brother Ping, what are you doing?"
"That's wine. A jar is worth at least one tael of silver. How could you cook it? Isn't that a waste of money?"
"I'm making new wine."
Zhao Ping explained casually.
"Make new wine?"
Qian Liu became even more curious, "Isn't wine made from wine?"
"How can it still be made?"
"Can you drink the wine? It's as sour as vinegar. I'm making strong liquor."
As the two of them were talking, the distillation over there was already taking effect.
Drops of liquid exuding a strong aroma of wine dripped into the jar placed below.
"Why, why does this smell so good?"
Qian Liu smacked his lips, obviously aroused.
"Just wait, I'll let you take a few bites after I'm done."
Zhao Ping said with a smile.
Qian Liu stopped talking and looked at the device made by Zhao Ping seriously.
Seeing that he was curious, Zhao Ping explained the principles to him.
At this time Wenhui and Li Hu also came over.
Wen Hui and Qian Liu listened very carefully, but Li Hu couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't bear his temper. After listening to a few words, he ran outside and stood guard.
Now that he is no longer digging for medicinal materials, Li Hu cannot be idle.
Zhao Ping asked him to look after the house.
Act as a guard.
Li Hu did a very good job.
Even at night, he would come over and take a walk twice while he was peeing.
Zhao Ping was very satisfied with this.
"There are two ingredients in wine, one is ethanol and the other is water."
"The boiling points of the two ingredients are different. The boiling point of ethanol is about 78 degrees, while the boiling point of water is 100 degrees. We only need to control the heat and not boil the water to let the ethanol inside volatilize..."
Zhao Ping spoke in great detail.
The two of them listened extremely carefully.
I also asked questions if I didn't understand anything.
Like what is ethanol? What is the boiling point?
Zhao Ping also explained them one by one.
After a while, Zhao Ping saw that it was almost done, so he quickly turned off the engine and took the jar over.
"My lord, can I have a taste?"
Wen Hui was the first to speak.
She looked at Zhao Ping eagerly, her eyes full of hope.
"Taste it."
Zhao Ping handed the jar to her and reminded her: "This wine is a bit strong. Drink too much at one time..."
How could Wenhui listen?
All my thoughts are on the wine.
After all, she was a daughter of a wealthy family before, and she drank a lot.
But I have never smelled such fragrant wine, and I have long been craving for it.
With Zhao Ping's permission, she held the jar and took two gulps.
"Ahem."
After just two sips, Wenhui couldn't drink anymore.
Put down the jar and keep coughing.
His face was also flushed.
Zhao Ping hurriedly stepped forward and gently stroked her back to help her calm down.
Wen Hui's face turned redder.
Qian Liu didn't want to be a light bulb, but the wine was too fragrant. He couldn't help but said, "Brother Ping, can you give me a sip?"
With Wenhui's lesson learned, Zhao Ping didn't dare to let him drink from the jar.
I went to the kitchen and got a bowl and poured some for him.
Qian Liu suddenly poured it into his stomach, and then he started coughing.
"Why don't you all listen?"
Zhao Ping saw this and said speechlessly: "I have already said that this wine is very strong. If you drink it hard, you will easily choke."
"Drink it in small sips and savor it carefully."
"Brother Ping, this wine is so delicious."
Qian Liu was very excited, "It tastes better than any wine I've ever had."
"Brother Ping, make more, and you will be in charge of my wine from now on."
"Can you afford it?"
Wen Hui's expression also improved a little. When she heard this, she couldn't help but mocked.
"I……"
Qian Liu was choked.
He is a poor man.
Although the Tian family compensated him with fifty taels of silver, he had already given it all to Zhao Ping.
Now he is penniless.
And he also knew that the kind of wine Zhao Ping made was only a small amount in a jar, probably not even 10% or 20%.
I want to drink it every day, but I really can’t afford it.
You know, a jar of the most common wine costs one or two silver.
A slightly famous wine is worth more.
Wen Hui said to Zhao Ping: "My lord, how much do you plan to sell a jar of this wine for?"
She knew that Zhao Ping was definitely not just playing around.
It must be selling wine to make money.
"I am not sure as well."
Zhao Ping shook his head.
He is a time traveler and does not understand the prices of goods in the Dawei Dynasty.
Moreover, he is still a medical student and does not understand economics.
The time I traveled here was short, and I didn’t do any market research.
I just want to make wine and sell it.
How much can it be sold for? How to sell? That concept was completely absent from his mind.
"My benefactor, I think we should sell the jar for one hundred taels of silver."
Wen Hui said.
hiss!
Qian Liu took a breath, "It's so expensive, who can afford it?"
"Why can't you afford it?"
Wen Hui retorted: "There are very few people in our county who are willing to buy this kind of wine, but what about the county? What about the state capital? Even in Kyoto, there are many rich people. As long as the wine is fragrant, no matter how high the price is, it doesn't matter." Sell."
"I heard that the wine the emperor drank cost tens of thousands of taels of silver per jar."
"Maybe it's not as good as the wine made by my benefactor."
Zhao Ping nodded in agreement.
He just took a sip, and the alcohol content was probably between fifty and sixty.
And there are no impurities.
Although it is not as good as modern wine, it should not be worse than the tribute wine of this era.
"My dear friend, please give me this wine, and I will help you sell it."
Wenhui said again.
"Don't sell it yet."
Zhao Ping thought for a moment and then rejected it.
"Why?"
Wenhui was anxious.
If this kind of wine is launched, it will definitely become popular.
You can help your benefactor earn a lot of money.
When the time comes, it will be easy to avenge yourself.
He could even marry her as his concubine.
"This kind of wine is not well known. If you sell it for a hundred taels of silver per jar, no one will buy it, so I have to give it away first."
Zhao Ping explained: "And it can't be delivered in the county."
“The county is too poor to afford it.”
"Even if you can afford it, you definitely won't be willing to spend a hundred taels of silver on a jar of wine."
"I want to send it to the county town and the state capital."
"When you make those people mouth-watering and charge more, even if they don't buy it, they won't be able to bear it."
Hearing these words, Wen Hui's eyes lit up.
High, really high.
Unexpectedly, my benefactor not only knew medical skills, but was also so proficient in businessmanship.
In fact, Zhao Ping is very proficient.
It's just based on the wisdom of the predecessors.
In his previous life, Zhao Ping understood a truth: free is the most expensive thing.
For example, that certain platform.
In the early days, it was all under the banner of free.
After the traffic increases, we will let you sign up as a member, otherwise the ads will annoy you to death.
Once you become a member, it still won’t work, and you still have to watch on demand.
The tricks are endless.
Zhao Ping had no connections in the state capital and was unable to open channels.
But there is one in the county.
The Tian family’s people are still in the county, so I’ll give them a pound as a gift tomorrow.
Just when Zhao Ping was thinking about it, Li Hu ran in, "Brother Ping, there is a man and a horse coming from outside, they seem to be coming towards us."
"Wenhui, hide first."
Zhao Ping was worried that the visitor was unkind and ordered: "Li Hu, take this guy with me to the door to check the situation."
