Chapter 712 The strongest wine in the world

Zhou Wei moved quickly.

The next day, in the morning, the craftsmen were already in place, and under Su Xian's guidance, they successfully built a huge still.

In the afternoon, Su Xian took Yan Dashan and others to start the distillation. The process went very smoothly. After cutting off the head and tail, they got a small jar of strong liquor as big as a human head.

The smell of alcohol went straight to my forehead, it was very strong.

The degree of alcohol used for disinfection is generally 75 degrees. It will not work if the degree is too high or too low.

Su Xian dipped his finger into a little strong wine and put it into his mouth. After tasting it, he thought the alcohol should have a strength of fifty or sixty degrees, perhaps higher.

It is sufficient for disinfection.

"Brother-in-law, you have indeed brewed the strongest liquor in the world!"

Tang Shujing pinched Qiong's nose with her small hands, with a look of shock on her face. The smell of alcohol was strong, and her head was already a little dizzy. She looked up and down at Su Xian with a pair of bright eyes.

In fact, when she first started building the still, she didn't think Su Xian could succeed, and even ridiculed him.

In her opinion, winemaking is a highly technical job. Even if Su Xian is capable, does he still understand this?

But now, the facts are before her eyes. Not only does Su Xian know how to make wine, but she actually made the strongest liquor in the world. She was choked and sneezed several times just now.

Yang Zhilan's expression was still indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations, as if she had no interest in anything in the world.

However, she was the closest person to the altar of spirits.

The wine jar was placed on the table, and she was beside the table, leaning her upper body forward slightly, sticking her head out, and staring at the jar of wine.

Although nothing could be seen from her appearance, she was actually as shocked as Tang Shujing.

"Zhilan, don't stand so close. This wine is too strong. It's the first time for you to see it. You will get drunk easily if you inhale too much." Su Xian advised from the side.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm fine. I won't get drunk."

Yang Zhilan refused to leave, and glanced sideways at Yan Dashan at the table from time to time, as if she was afraid that Yan Dashan would be rough and break the jar of strong wine. This was Su Xian's hard work!
"You also said you won't get drunk, but look at you, your face is red."

Su Xian took a step forward, took Yang Zhilan's hand and took a few steps back.

Yang Zhilan had no choice but to retreat.

But his eyes did not leave the wine jar and Yan Dashan...

Yan Dashan was now the person closest to the wine jar. He was holding a small porcelain bowl with half of the "first wine" in his hand. He kept tilting the small bowl to observe.

The so-called "first wine" is the wine that flows out at the beginning of distillation. It contains methanol and can easily cause poisoning.

After Su Xian settled Yang Zhilan, he turned around and looked at Yan Dashan and said:

"That's the first wine. You can't drink it. Take it and pour it quickly!"

"Ok!"

Yan Dashan agreed, and walked to the ditch on the other side with the bowl, ready to pour the first wine into it.

Su Xian hurriedly fetched the wine seal, and sealed the wine jar that exuded a strong and pungent alcohol smell. In order not to lose the smell, he put a layer of mud on the outside of the wine seal.

At this time, the sun has already set to the west.

Because the peaks around Butterfly Valley are too high, Su Xian and the others cannot appreciate the gorgeous sunset.

"After a busy day, I'm finally done. Let's rest for a while, and then go to see Doctor Li with this jar of wine!"

Su Xian glanced at Yang Zhilan vaguely.

Yang Zhilan understood clearly.

Last night, Su Xian said that if he had to find a way to get Li Qingniu to do his best, the liquor brewed today should be Su Xian's idea.

Yang Zhilan was suddenly very moved. She couldn't help but smile, looked at Su Xian with gratitude, and said, "Sir, thank you for everything you have done today!"

"What should be done, no..."

Su Xian stopped mid-sentence and stared at Yang Zhilan with an incredulous look on his face, as if he had seen some strange sight that could only be seen in 10 years, and he was dumbfounded.

Yang Zhilan actually... pursed her lips and smiled!
Although the smile was very shallow, it was still a smile. Su Xian remembered it very clearly. This was the first time he saw her smile since the two met.

And her eyes now are very different from the calm and cold eyes in the past. Her eyes are twinkling and full of complex emotions...

Su Xian's "special attention" was immediately noticed by Yang Zhilan.

Immediately, her smile disappeared immediately, and her eyes full of emotion disappeared, returning to a cold look.

Her heartbeat suddenly increased and she thought to herself, why?Why did a smile suddenly appear?Why do you suddenly reveal your feelings to others?
Soon, she figured it out.

Raising his hand, he touched his thin, slightly hot face.

Because...she is drunk!

She had just inhaled the smell of too much strong alcohol and was a little drunk. As the saying goes, alcohol makes people timid. Although she was not timid, she was still strongly affected.

Wine is indeed... a good thing!

Seeing that Yang Zhilan had recovered as before, Su Xian stopped staring at her.

He knew in his heart that if he showed strong curiosity and expectation about this, it would most likely kill Yang Zhilan's subtle changes, and eventually lead to fear and refusal to change!

It's better to be more natural in everything.

Su Xian pretended that nothing was wrong, called Shangyan Dashan and Tang Shujing, dismantled the huge still, and then cleaned the scene.

When Yan Dashan came back from pouring the "first wine" and put down the small bowl, Su Xian found something strange about him.

He seemed to be walking unsteadily and staggering, and his face was a bit ugly, as if he was suffering from some kind of pain.

"Da Shan, you...didn't you drink half of the bowl of wine?!" Su Xian made a guess, with a look of speechlessness and surprise.

"No!" Yan Dashan shook his head unnaturally and denied it. But before he could say anything else, he with such a strong physique unexpectedly fell to the ground on his back!
"Mountain!"

Su Xian and others were startled and rushed over.

Su Xian checked a little bit, dumbfounding:

"You also said you didn't take the first drink secretly. I told you not to drink it before. You...hey, why are you greedy for that?"

Yan Dashan looked uncomfortable, and now he was very red. He was just dizzy, not completely fainted, but after hearing Su Xian's words, he simply pretended to be dizzy——

Otherwise, I would really be too shameless to see anyone!

"Go get the doctor quickly!" Su Xian shouted.

"..."

at the same time.

Backyard, study.

Li Qingniu was chatting with Zhou Wei.

"How is Su Xiaozi's wine brewing?" Li Qingniu held an old medical book in his hand, reading it slowly while chatting.

"This morning, the still was completed. The disciple went to see it in person and found nothing special."

Zhou Wei was holding an equally ancient handwritten version of the "Huangdi Neijing" in his hand and was chewing it with difficulty. When he saw Li Qingniu asking a question, he immediately raised his head and responded with a relaxed expression:

"It is said that in the afternoon, Brother Su had already started brewing wine, but...Brother Su drove the disciples out, saying that it was a secret and not allowed to be seen by the disciples."

"confidential?"

Li Qingniu sneered, threw the medical book in his hand on the table, stood up to stretch his muscles, and said with disdain:
"From the old man's point of view, that kid Su must have a guilty conscience. He doesn't know how to make wine at all, he's just messing around. Naturally, he doesn't want you to peep from the sidelines!"
