General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 637: Purifying Alcohol (1)

When the woman heard what Ji Xiaowu said, she stood up quickly and looked at her man who was still unconscious with tears in her eyes. "Be careful that your tears contain salt. You should know what the consequences will be if salt touches the wound." Ji Xiaowu reminded her.

Everyone knows how painful it is to put salt on a wound. The woman was so scared that she quickly wiped away her tears. The other women looked at Ji Xiaou, waiting for her to continue.

"Besides, your men may have a fever to some extent. Don't be afraid that they will be cold and cover them with quilts or something. Once you find that they have a fever, ask the servants for white wine and use it to wipe your men's bodies. But also be careful not to let the wine flow onto the wound." said Ji Xiaomu.

"Madam, should we rub it as soon as we get a fever?" a woman asked.

"If they are hot, wipe them, but you don't have to wipe them all the time, understand me?" Ji Xiaowu explained, and the women nodded. "Also, if you hear them crying out that they are thirsty and want to drink water, don't give them water, just dip your finger in some water and wet their lips, they can't drink water now."

"Can't even drink water?" Many women's eyes turned red. They didn't expect that they would be injured so badly.

"No, their wounds have not healed yet, and the injuries are all on the abdomen. If there is water... the wounds will be infected." Ji Xiaowu taught them little by little, and the women listened very carefully.

It was not until Ji Xiaowu felt that she had said everything that needed to be said that she let the women go find their men. "Remember what I taught you, go ahead."

"Thank you, ma'am." The women were very impressed with Ji Xiaomu who patiently explained to them. She was their family's savior. After paying their respects to Ji Xiaomu, they went to look for the men of their families.

Seeing their men seriously injured and unconscious, the women all shed tears and took care of them carefully. Just as Ji Xiaomu said, the unconscious man would unconsciously shout for water. The women first subconsciously wanted to fetch some water, but then they remembered Ji Xiaomu's words and quickly dipped their fingers in water to moisten the man's lips.

They were even more grateful in their hearts, because if Ji Xiaomu had not told them these things to pay attention to, they might have really fed the water to them.

After Ji Xiaomu arranged the women, Fang Chen also prepared what Ji Xiaomu needed. Ji Xiaomu took Fang Chen and Lou Yu into the room and started to tinker with alcohol with them.

Distillation is required to make alcohol, but the current environment does not allow for so many requirements, so we can only try it step by step.

Fang Chen went directly to the winery to get the distillation equipment. Ji Xiaomu asked Fang Chen to pour the wine into the pot, heat it with fire at the bottom, and seal the air outlet on the top with another barrel. The wine must be heated to between 79 and 82 degrees. This temperature is very difficult to control. The evaporated water is condensed again. After three condensations, high-degree alcohol is obtained. Then, three parts of alcohol are mixed with one part of water to get alcohol of about 75 degrees, which can be used.

The first time, alcohol extraction failed due to temperature error.

The second time failed again because the seal was not done well.

The third time, the three of them learned from their experience and finally extracted a barrel of alcohol from three barrels of wine.

The extracted alcohol has a very high concentration.

Ji Xiaomu, Fang Chen and Lou Yu looked at each other, looked at the results, and smiled with satisfaction.
