Xiao Nianzhi's words made the two little girls feel a little relieved.
Maybe it's because General Guo has given everyone a sense of security over the years.
Therefore, mentioning him is quite reassuring.
Yan Xingxuan's brows were originally furrowed, but now they slowly relaxed.
It would be difficult for him to enter the palace at this time. If those peace-seeking factions see him, they may have to resort to subterfuge to interfere with him.
Therefore, he had to stay honest in these places outside the city.
Save everyone from looking at each other in disgust.
He was annoyed by the peace seekers, and even more annoyed by those people looking at him.
Because we were not sure whether there was a border war or not, everyone stopped going down the mountain, so we could let ourselves go for the time being.
Although Yan Xingxuan did not return to the palace, he sent someone back to inquire about the news.
At the same time, I was ready to pack up and go back to White Horse Temple. I had nothing else to do at the foot of the mountain, so I might as well go up the mountain to pray honestly.
Never mind whether metaphysics is easy to use, what if it happens?
Xiao Nianzhi was also afraid of a border fight. She thought that since she couldn't get antibiotics, she could try alcohol.
She can't deal with the virus, but she can still do simple sterilization and disinfection, right?
Today's alcohol concentration is not enough and the degree is not enough, so it is not enough to achieve the purpose of disinfection.
Therefore, she can try to purify it again.
In fact, it is relatively easy to increase the alcohol content. To put it simply, increase the number of distillations.
It's just that the value in the middle is more acceptable to many people who like to drink.
Because you can have a leisurely drink, you won’t overturn a few glasses and end the experience before you even enjoy it.
Therefore, it is useless if the degree is too high.
The concentration is too high and it is difficult to drink normally, but it is still very useful for preliminary disinfection of wounds.
She only hesitated for a moment before speaking out her thoughts.
Yan Xingxuan originally wanted to take advantage of everyone's relaxation when they came down the mountain to take out the gift and give it to Xiao Nianzhi.
While he was organizing his words in his mind, he heard Xiao Nianzhi say that he wanted to get some high-concentration alcohol for the border to be used to disinfect the injured soldiers.
Wound infection was indeed a very dangerous thing in ancient times without antibiotics.
Once the wound is infected, most people can only wait for it to cool down, and there is nothing that can be done.
And preliminary disinfection actually plays a key role in it.
When Yan Xingxuan heard this, he no longer cared about the gift.
Although this place is not his Zhuangzi, it belongs to Brother Wang, that is, to him, and he can still be the master of it.
So, he nodded: "Sister, tell me, what do I need to prepare?"
In fact, all kinds of grains can be used to make wine, but Xiao Nianzhi likes sorghum.
Moreover, it happens to be the sorghum harvest season in the area near the capital.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi thought for a moment and nodded: "Just sorghum."
Of course, sorghum alone is not enough, you also need distiller’s yeast.
With koji as a guide, these wines will ferment better and taste better.
Nowadays, there are actually ready-made wine koji. If you go to the nearby rich and powerful villagers and ask, you will definitely be able to find it.
Especially in those rich and powerful houses that are good at wine, there will definitely be some.
However, distiller's yeast is easy to cultivate. Now that the temperature is suitable, Xiao Nianzhi also likes to use what he is used to.
Therefore, she also explained the raw materials for the distiller's yeast: "We also need glutinous rice, poria, and licorice... Glutinous rice is the main ingredient, and the other ingredients are auxiliary ingredients. There are more main ingredients... Forget it, I'll write it down."
Xiao Nianzhi was afraid that if he didn't write clearly, Yan Xingxuan would bring in all the poria and licorice in the capital.
She only needed a few grams and didn't want to see it packed in a car!
There are ready-made ones here at Sorghum Zhuangzi, but because they are for flower breeding, there are no tools for making wine.
Xiao Nianzhi needs a larger wine vat.
Zheng Qingran and Yan Changxia have recovered. Yan Changxia immediately said: "I will go back to the house to get it."
Although her father was not a drinker, he still had tools at home.
This big vat doesn't hold wine, it can also hold other things.
However, Zheng Qingran pulled her beside her: "Hey, hey, stop, legs, legs, legs!"
Okay, now even Zheng Qingran knows that Yan Changxia will probably lose his legs if he returns home at this time.
Yan Changxia shut up instantly and showed a strong smile.
This scene made Zheng Qingran couldn't help but laugh: "I remember that a little further away, there is the village of my uncle's house. My uncle usually likes to have a drink or two. There must be some in the village of their house."
Xiao Nianzhi reacted for a while and finally clarified the relationship.
Zheng Qingran's mother is the biological sister of Yong'an Hou, and Yong'an Hou is the father of Meng Yinze, a great talent in the capital.
Hearing what Zheng Qingran said, Yan Xingxuan was the first to react and nodded: "That's okay. Mr. Meng is indeed good at wine, and he usually has many treasures..."
Speaking of treasures, Yan Xingxuan paused suspiciously. Xiao Nianzhi was relatively close to him and heard him swallow softly.
This made her couldn't help but glance sideways.
Yan Xingxuan reacted quickly, being obedient for a second, and then pretending that nothing happened: "Zhuangzi must have it."
Xiao Nianzhi was puzzled, was he craving for wine or something else?
In this regard, Yan Xingxuan closed his mouth tightly after speaking, for fear that his saliva would fall out of control and fall again.
He is not greedy for wine. To be honest, he only drinks a few drinks during palace banquets. On weekdays, he really doesn't like this.
However, just because he doesn’t like wine doesn’t mean he doesn’t like the derivatives of alcohol...
Drunken chicken, drunk duck, drunk shrimp, drunk crab, wine-stuffed eggs...
Suck!
It’s over, I can’t think about it anymore.
I can't control my drooling.
As soon as Xiao Nianzhi looked away, he heard the people around him swallowing slightly again.
Yan Xingxuan's sexy Adam's apple rolled slightly.
It's a pity that no one saw such a charming scene.
When Xiao Nianzhi heard the voice, she originally wanted to turn her head, but she was afraid that her brother would be embarrassed again because of this, so she controlled herself and didn't look further.
Xiao Nianzhi said he wanted to make wine, so everyone was not planning to go back for the time being.
Of course, I will definitely go back on the anniversary of Xiao’s mother’s death.
However, it takes about three days for the koji to ferment.
When the wine is ready, Xiao Nianzhi can choose to go back to Baima Temple first, finish the business, and then come back down the mountain.
Everyone took action quickly. Yan Xingxuan had already sent people to mobilize horses nearby, so Zheng Qingran quickly took a carriage to Zhuangzi, the Marquis of Yong'an.
Yan Xingxuan sent another person back to the city to purchase.
For sorghum, just go to nearby Zhuangzi to call it.
On the other hand, the herbs needed for distiller's yeast need to be purchased separately from the medicine hall.
At noon, the people Yan Xingxuan sent to the palace to inquire about the news came back.
There is indeed a fight at the northwest border.
Led by Yu Zhi, the strongest national force in the northwest, they joined forces with Xilou and Dayu, as well as several small border countries, to raid the northwest army camp.
The Northwest Army reacted very quickly and did not suffer much losses. However, after the opponent was so provocative, they directly attacked the city the next day.
The situation between the two sides is now at a stalemate. Whether they want to fight or make peace, it depends on what His Majesty decides!
According to the wishes of General Northwest Guo, this battle must be fought.
He has to let these countries know that they are just recuperating, not abolished!
