Chapter 694 Steamed beef?
In the study room in the backyard of Prince Chan's Mansion.
When Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua came over, Gu Chan was sitting behind the desk drawing drawings.
Shen Yang stood beside her and looked confused, "Second uncle, what are you drawing? Why can't I understand it at all?"
"It's strange that you can understand it." Gu Chan said while drawing.
"Is this some new weapon?" Shen Yang asked.
Gu Chan didn't bother to explain to him, so she handed the drawn drawings to her grandparents sitting opposite and said, "You guys take a look first. If you can understand it, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit idle next. You must start work immediately. Get this equipment out to me before the wedding.”
"Gu Chan, why does your painting look like steaming something?"
"Yes! What do you want to steam?"
Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua are worthy of being old blacksmiths. After a cursory glance at the drawings drawn by Gu Chan, they recognized that this set of equipment was used to steam things.
But as for what to steam, they had no idea at all.
After all, in this ancient world, modern distillation technology did not exist, and equipment specifically used to distill rice wine like the one painted by Gu Chan had never appeared before.
Today was the first time for them to see him, so they were naturally surprised.
Gu Chan sat behind the desk and said, "Although our current rice wine is sweet and delicious, the alcohol content is too low, the quality of the wine is not pure, and it doesn't taste strong at all, so I'm going to design a set like this." Simple distillation equipment, specially used to steam rice wine, and make some spirits for everyone to try. ”
"Distillation equipment? This is the first time I've heard of it." Zhang Wanshan said in surprise.
Ding Meihua nodded noncommittally.
After looking at the blueprint in her hand carefully for a long time, she said, "Gu Chan, what kind of distillation equipment do you have? It doesn't look difficult. If the two of us take action, it should only take one night to complete it."< br>
"Grandma, that's why I'm looking for you! You two blacksmiths are very skilled, I've always known this. You have to get me this equipment as soon as possible. I'm going to bring the distilled spirits to the wedding banquet. Come out and drink it for everyone. As long as this wine can become famous, we can use it to make a lot of money in Kyoto." Gu Chan said shrewdly.
As soon as Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua heard her words, they immediately became energetic and began to study with gleaming eyes.
Gu Chanze quickly sent someone to tidy up a yard and quickly bought all the things needed for blacksmithing from outside. In the afternoon and dusk, the yard turned into a small blacksmith shop.
Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua took matters into their own hands and began to build distillation equipment under Gu Chan's guidance.
Shen Yang stood aside and watched the whole process, so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He couldn't even figure out where Gu Chan's wild ideas came from.
No, in doubt, he couldn't help but pull Gu Chan and ask, "Second uncle, what exactly is in your mind? How come you can always think of things that others can't think of?"
"Bullshit! That's because you are too backward. If Zuo Yun comes to see such a useless thing, he will definitely look disdainful." Gu Chan said angrily.
Shen Yang stretched out his hand and scratched his head. He was so choked that he didn't know what to say.
Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go back to the Ministry of War to do your business! You can't help much if you stay here."
"What about Master Yu?" Shen Yang asked. "You don't have to worry about him. I have plenty of ways to deal with him. I really don't believe that I can't change his stubbornness." Gu Chan said with a smirk.
Shen Yang smiled helplessly and could only calm down and say goodbye and leave.
After he left, Gu Chan continued to build distillation equipment with her grandparents.
At night, the sound of tinkling iron could be heard from Prince Chan's mansion. Gu Chan and the other two were working enthusiastically in the yard and were extremely happy.
At this time, they seemed to have returned to the feeling they had when living in the village. Being in a place with great pressure like Kyoto gave them a brief moment of relaxation and joy.
On the other side, in the imperial study room of the palace.
At this moment, the housekeeper of Prince Chan's Mansion was standing in front of the imperial desk and reported, "Prince, I don't know why Gu Chan went crazy. After he came back in the afternoon, he built a blacksmith shop in a small courtyard of the mansion, and then he brought Looking at his grandparents, he started hammering, and he hasn’t stopped until now.”
"What are they building?" Xuanyuan Long asked with a frown.
"This kid doesn't know or understand it. I just heard him say that it is about steaming beef. Maybe he wants to eat beef, so he wants to make a big pot to steam beef strips to eat!" the housekeeper said stupidly.
He didn't know what distillation equipment was. In the afternoon, he hid outside the hospital and eavesdropped, but he couldn't hear clearly. A good distillation was turned into a steamed cow for him!
Xuanyuan Long stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead and said, "This Gu Chan has really never given me any peace of mind. I just dealt with Yu Da's matter, and now he is steaming beef in an iron pot again. What on earth does he want to do?"< br>
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"Prince, I heard that Gu Chan was in the Jiangnan area before, but he built a new weapon like the red cannon. Is it possible that he secretly built a new weapon to deal with you by making iron pots to steam cattle? What?" the steward reminded.
Xuanyuan Long immediately became cautious and ordered sternly, "Go back to Prince Chan's Mansion and keep an eye on it. Let me find out what he is building. At this juncture, I can't let him cause any more trouble for me. ”
"Yes, Prince." The housekeeper hurriedly left.
Xuanyuan Long sat behind the royal desk and suddenly felt restless.
The key is that the unknown is the fear. If he knew what Gu Chan was building, he wouldn't be so uneasy. How could he, who is naturally suspicious, tolerate Gu Chan causing trouble under his nose?
That night, Xuanyuanlong tossed and turned and had difficulty falling asleep.
Contrary to him, Gu Chan spent the night with her grandparents, having sex in full swing.
After the three people struggled all night, early the next morning, a round iron pot with good sealing, a few iron pipes, and a distillation furnace were finally completed. Such a set of simple distillation equipment was completed. Gu Chan assembled it and stood in the yard.
Gu Chan looked at the masterpiece in front of her and laughed with satisfaction and said, "Yeah! Yes, it's a bit rough, but it's still there. As expected of two old blacksmiths, the craftsmanship of this iron casting is still good."< br>
"Gu Chan, let's go and have a rest. We are old and stayed up all night, and now we really can't stand it anymore."
"Yes! It's better to be young than that. It's true that people can't accept old age!"
Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua sighed one after another.
Gu Chan quickly called two maids and helped them back to their room to rest.
After the second elder left, she started studying alone in the yard.
