Chapter 396 Tusu Wine
After hearing Liuli's reasons for taking care of Shi Bin, Ye Jintang didn't know what to say.
The reason she found was too weak. If Liuli didn't really like Shi Bin, how could she have gone to so much trouble to help him treat the injury on his arm.
However, Ye Jintang did not expose her in front of her. Since Shi Bin already knew Liuli's true identity, he would definitely try his best to resolve her knot.
It's no use no matter how anxious she is now. She can only take it step by step.
There were many things missing from the pharmaceutical workshop, including medicinal materials and various medicine-making tools. It took eight days to finally get everything ready.
After two rounds of selection, the refugee camp temporarily recruited 150 male workers and asked them to learn how to make medicine from their masters in the pharmaceutical workshop.
During the study period, the male workers only received five cents per month as wages, but after completing their studies, each of them could receive fifty cents per month as wages.
As things were arranged one by one, Ye Jintang was finally not so busy.
During the lunch break, she took out her medical book and tried to find some suitable prescriptions. After the spring, the pharmaceutical workshop would officially go into production. It would not be enough to only produce some medicines for treating colds. She had to prepare at least a dozen medicines for treating other diseases.
Whether you can make a lot of money in the future depends on the sales of the pharmaceutical workshop.
"Jintang, your idea is really good. Every male worker in the pharmaceutical workshop is very active in their work and study. None of them are lazy or slacking off."
"The refugees who were not selected by the refugee agency are all very honest. Even some troublemakers have not dared to cause trouble recently, for fear that they would be unable to work in the pharmaceutical workshop in the future if they caused trouble."
Xiao Mo, who was in a good mood, lifted the curtain and entered the room. He saw more than a dozen medical books on the small table in front of Ye Jintang. Ye Jintang was copying the prescription quickly with a pencil she made herself.
When she heard Xiao Mo coming in, she looked up, but she didn't show any intention of stopping writing.
"It's true that refugees are easy to manage. As long as they have enough food, they won't cause trouble. It's also really hard to manage them. I want so many people to have jobs, so the industry I have needs to increase several times more than it does now."
"Yes, as long as we make good use of the refugees, they will be the cornerstone of Ningchuan Prefecture's development in the future."
While Xiao Mo was talking, he sat down opposite Ye Jintang.
"Why are you copying the prescription again?"
"Prepare a few more prescriptions for the male workers to practice. Our pharmaceutical workshop cannot sell only one kind of medicine. We need to have more than one kind so that we can sell more and make money."
"I'll ask Manager Qiao to keep an eye on the city and see what kind of herbs we're short of. I'll have people transport them from other cities as soon as next spring."
"Oh, there are still two months until spring. There's no need to start preparing so early."
"I can feel more at ease if I prepare it earlier. We will be very busy in the spring. I am afraid I won't have the time to calm down and write a prescription by then."
Xiao Mo thought about it and it seemed to be the case. After the spring, all their energy would be focused on sowing. At that time, they would also have to go to the surrounding areas of Ningchuan City. They would be exhausted after a busy day, so how could they calm down and read medical books?
"New Year's Day is coming soon, what do you think?"
"idea?"
Confused Ye Jintang put down the pencil in her hand and looked at Xiao Mo. She didn't quite understand what he meant.
"This year, we're the only ones spending New Year's together. I thought it would be lively even if we were together."
"So that's what happened. I've thought about it a long time ago. On New Year's Eve, I'll call my master, cousin, Liuli, and General Shi together. We won't hold any complicated banquets, but just have a barbecue party. How about we all have some fun together?"
"Okay, didn't you say last time that you could make a very strong liquor? When can you make it for me to taste?"
"That's easy. I'll make some Tusu wine for you to try later."
"It's a deal. I haven't drunk Tusu wine during the Chinese New Year for several years."
The Tianqin Kingdom has the custom of drinking Tusu wine on New Year's Eve, but Xiao Mo was on the battlefield in his early years and didn't even know whether he could save his life. How could he have the leisure to drink Tusu wine?
Later, when he returned to the capital, he was still alone. Drinking Tu Su wine alone on New Year's Eve was too desolate, so Xiao Mo simply went to the barracks to celebrate New Year's Eve with the soldiers.
The men in the military camp all like to drink strong liquor, and Tu Su liquor is too low in alcohol, so they don’t like to drink it very much.
Looking back now, Xiao Mo couldn't help but sigh that marrying Ye Jintang home was the wisest thing he had ever done in his life.
Only with her does he feel at home. Now he can even drink Tu Su wine, and he feels happy just thinking about it.
Making ordinary Tu Su wine is not a difficult task for Ye Jintang, but making high-proof Tu Su wine requires some effort on her part.
Strong liquor is generally distilled liquor, and the Tianqin Kingdom does not have this technology.
However, when Ye Jintang was making Changsheng Pills some time ago, he used the distillation method to purify the medicinal materials. This set of tools can be used to make highly distilled liquor with just a slight modification.
Generally, nine kinds of medicinal materials are used to brew Tu Su wine. However, Ye Jintang read in a health and medical book given to her by Master Mu that there is a kind of wine called Moonlight Tu Su wine which requires more than twenty kinds of medicinal materials.
A large number of precious medicinal materials are used in Yue Ye Tu Su wine, so its health-preserving effects are naturally outstanding. Although the alcohol content is high, you will not experience headaches or discomfort even if you drink too much.
Ye Jintang searched on the bookshelf for a long time and finally found the recipe for Yue Ye Tu Su Wine. She copied down the recipe and gave it to Nanny Zhang.
"Madam Zhang, go to my storehouse and get some herbs needed to brew Tusu wine. Send them to the pharmacy, and call a few maids over. I will teach you how to brew Tusu wine."
"Yes, old slave, go right away."
Nanny Zhang took a look at the list of medicinal herbs and felt confused. She remembered that Tu Su wine only required 9 kinds of medicinal herbs, so why did Ye Jintang need more than kinds of medicinal herbs?
Ye Jintang found and installed all the items used for purification in the pharmacy.
She called over several maids who had previously participated in the purification of medicinal materials.
"The way I make Tusu wine is slightly different from others. You can follow the method of purifying medicinal materials in the past."
Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, totally confused as to why Ye Jintang would do this. They had seen other people brewing wine before, but not like this.
The method of making Tu Su wine is very simple. Generally, after preparing the medicinal materials, wrap them with gauze and stuff them into a jar filled with rice wine. After three days, it can be drunk. This is the first time everyone has seen Ye Jintang making Tu Su wine.
"Why are you all still standing there? Didn't you hear the Queen ask you to make wine according to the method of purifying medicinal herbs?"
Nanny Zhang was the first to react. She raised the pitch slightly by two degrees. The maids and servants present finally came to their senses and quickly started to work.
