Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 83.
Soon, the people in the yurt retreated.

Zhang Qi sat there alone and looked at the map in his hand. The map was quite clearly drawn. From the camp, go straight to the southeast, see the river turn down, continue straight, pass the valley mouth, and then go a hundred miles to reach Donghu's forces edge.

More details are naturally gone, they are just exploring the route, and they will stop naturally when they see people living there, or if they are invited to Donghu as a guest, wouldn't they become slaves again.

With the route, the rest is manpower deployment.

Zhang Qi thought for a while, and decided to just take Hu Shui and the NPC soldiers there.

Of course, some herdsmen's assistance is needed, otherwise the cattle and sheep along the way will drive this 'noble man' Zhang Qi crazy.

After finalizing his attention, Zhang Qi shouted at the door curtain.

"Go to the barracks and ask Hu Shui to come and see me."

The female soldier responded and left.

After the battle that night, the manpower of Hu Shui's corps dropped from [-] to around [-]. After the whole battle, his corps suffered the most casualties.

There is no way, the main purpose of the vanguard Wang Li is to involve the Huns, but what he wants to do is to storm the camp.

And his performance that night was very brave.

That's why Zhang Qi gave him a name after the battle was over. Half of the evolution of the surname Hu came from the grassland people who returned to Han, so it was just right for Zhang Qi to give him the surname Hu.

Without making people wait for a long time, Hu Shui came to the camp and entered Zhang Qi's yurt after a while.

"My lord!"

I was used to calling my master before, but Hu Shui was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Hey, it's not more polite. Did the soldiers have a good rest after returning to the camp?"

A few simple greetings.

Hu Shui looked humble and respectful.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the morale of the soldiers is high, and they can go out with the army again at any time!"

Hu Shui is not an idiot, he naturally knows why Zhang Qi asked him to come here, Zhang Qi would not let him come to the yurt to have an audience with ordinary things, but let the female soldiers pass it on, since he was asked to come here, it is of course important things.

"So good!"

Zhang Qi laughed heartily a few times, and patted Hu Shui on the shoulder: "When I return to the camp later, I will ask Hui to give you twenty sheep, take them back to let the soldiers have a full meal, and leave with me tomorrow Donghu, yes It’s time to get in touch with them.”

"promise!"

Hu Shui took the lead.

He has nothing to be afraid of fighting, and it's not that he has never fought against the Donghu people. Although the Donghu people are now the Donghu tribe under Shan Yu's command, the friction has not diminished.

After all, in the grasslands in the past, people had the final say. Little Huns were not everyone at that time.

It's a pity that the fierce men from heaven went to the Xiongnu, and Donghu has declined since then. Only Xianbei and Wuhuan are still beating in future generations.

As for the longer term, Zhang Qi couldn't remember either.
-
Time passed, and it was evening in a blink of an eye. There is no rush to go to Donghu. After all, the big guy just fought a battle with the Huns. It would be good for everyone to rest for a day before setting off.

Coincidentally, Zhang Qi still needs to brew wine in the world of riding and hacking. One night plus one day, more than 20 hours have passed, and the sorghum is almost fermented.

Entering the world of riding and hacking, Zhang Qi appeared in the market.

Walking into the room where the fermentation jars were stored, Hu Jiu was squatting there and recording things.

The fermentation altar is the altar of pickled vegetables in the later generations. The edge is raised to form a circle. It is the simplest single-item sealing device. It is simple and easy to use. The only troublesome thing is that it is necessary to add water to the sealing ring from time to time.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

The sound of Zhang Qi entering the room woke up Hu Jiu who was recording the data. Hu Jiu got up and saluted Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi nodded and stretched out his hand to take Hu Jiu's notebook and read it.

It's quite detailed. When the jar has been filled with water and when it has a fever, there are records.

"Quite careful." Zhang Qi handed the notebook back to Hu Jiu: "Did you add those later?"

When Zhang Qi came in, he found that besides the three altars of sorghum he had sealed, there were twenty or thirty altars in the room.

Hu Jiu nodded, and smiled playfully: "I asked Shisan to steam and seal it for me."

Zhang Qi smiled: "Is that Thirteen who used to help you with work?"

"Haha, I didn't expect to be a licking dog."

Hu Jiu naturally didn't know what licking a dog meant, but when she saw Zhang Qi laughing, she also laughed: "Hey, we are all Junshang's puppies, Junshang is here today, so these things can be used to make wine?"

"Yeah." Zhang Qi nodded, after more than 20 days of fermentation, it is almost ready for distillation.

He and Hu Jiu moved the three fermentation altars out, and the Tianguo has been standing in the market all the time, so it saves effort.

Distilled wine is not so evil, it can even be said to be simple to die, two pots, a bucket, a few cloth towels and a steaming plate to isolate the water in the pot from contact with the sorghum are enough.

Separate the Tianguo first, Zhang Qi added half a pot of water to the lower pot, then put the steaming plate on it, covered it with sackcloth, and poured the sorghum in the fermentation altar onto the sackcloth.

The fermented sorghum exudes a smell, like wine, and a little sweet.

After the sorghum was laid, Zhang Qi covered the wooden barrel with a round hole in the middle, which was transparent from top to bottom. A semicircular iron sheet extending into the barrel was installed in the round hole in the middle of the barrel. The part connected to the iron pan is tightly packed.

Then put another pot on top of the barrel, seal it with a cloth towel soaked in water, and add cold water to the pot above.

The process of distilling wine is that the lower pot is heated to evaporate steam, and the alcohol in the fermented product volatilizes faster than water. After mixing with steam, gaseous alcohol is formed, and the gaseous alcohol condenses when it contacts the bottom of the pot with cold water on it.

The pot is curved, and the condensed water droplets or wine drops will fall on the iron plate in the middle along the curvature, and guide it out of the barrel.

The liquid out of the barrel is wine. Based on Zhang Qi’s experience living in the countryside, it can be said that the alcohol distilled by this method is not low, at least 75 to [-] degrees. The disinfectant alcohol he wants needs [-] degrees. , this cannot be guaranteed, it can only be distilled several times to make the degree higher.

Although the disinfection is painful and has some side effects when the concentration is high, pain and side effects are better than death. There is no side-measurement device now, so the approximate alcohol concentration can only be known through the feedback data applied to the wounded again and again.

This is why Zhang Qi can play like this with the World of Riding and Slashing as his hole card. If it is replaced by other countries in this era, the wounded are generally the existence they gave up. Although veterans are very precious, alcohol is used to save veterans. Look Is it because they rescued more wounded, or more people died of starvation.

With the heating of the Tianpan and the sound of gurgling water, Zhang Qi pulled out the cork that blocked the round hole on the wooden barrel. As soon as he opened it, the rich aroma of wine diffused.

Zhang Qi didn't drink alcohol, but he couldn't help but swallowed. Moisture gradually appeared on the iron plate, and then ticked.

Tick.

The liquid began to drip down.

Zhang Qi had already placed a container under the wine outlet, and the wine was caught without any leakage. After a few minutes of catching, the amount of wine dispensed from the wine outlet began to increase, and Zhang Qi put the first wine in the container Pour into a marked clay jug and wait patiently for the container to fill.

You can't have the first wine and tail wine, there are a lot of fusel alcohols and methanol in it, and you will go to heaven after drinking it. Although methanol can also disinfect, Zhang Qi is not sure how much fusel alcohol is in the methanol.

So these fusel wines are either given away or sold in the market.
