Chapter 880 Not for Drinking

In order to make it easier to cultivate a relationship with the little guy, Zhou Xu had someone make a separate bird's nest for Xuan Yu, and moved it to his bedroom along with the eggshells.

During this process, as a young bird, this little guy was quite courageous and showed no signs of being frightened. Instead, he looked calm throughout the process and continued to peck at the eggshells in front of him. , it seems that nothing is as important as the meal in front of you, the world is the most important.

"Your Majesty, is it okay for this newly hatched chick to eat the eggshell?"

Holding the bird's nest in his hand, Hilke looked at Xuanyu who was pecking at the eggshell. , asked a little strangely.

Apparently, none of them had any experience raising birds.

But compared to Silk, Zhou Xu at least knew a little more information.

“Eating eggshells can supplement calcium, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. This natural creature knows what to eat and what not to eat, not to mention that Xuan Yu is a born extraordinary creature.”

Zhou Xu’s last words easily convinced Hilke.

Indeed, extraordinary creatures basically cannot think from the perspective of ordinary animals.

Let's just say Chitose. When this little guy was first born, he was not a supernatural creature, but just a strange beast. But he has been full of spirituality since he was a child and has strong self-care ability.

For someone like Xuan Yu, who was born an extraordinary creature, his ability to take care of himself is not as good as that of a thousand years old, right?

It’s a new day, and Zhou Xu has basically returned to his normal schedule. As soon as the genius is clear, he has already gotten up for morning exercises.

At the end of the morning exercise one day, the power of the mantra in my body is not moving at all.

With previous experience, Zhou Xu didn’t find it strange.

At that time in Pingyuan City, he had made his tired mind go blank, and finally managed to concentrate on it and activate the power of the mantra.

But in normal times, he has just finished his morning exercise and his day's work has just begun. How can he just make himself paralyzed from exhaustion?

This also made Zhou Xu temporarily give up the idea. Looking back, he could try to verify another conjecture of his and see if he could improve his realm by studying the mantra.

After breakfast, Zhou Xu arrived at Qinzheng Hall, and the day's work officially began.

Just after processing the two documents, a soldier came in carrying a tray. On the tray, there was a clay pot the size of a wine pot.

When Zhou Xu saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up. Without waiting for the soldiers to speak, he quickly motioned to the soldiers to bring up the pottery pot.

The movement here undoubtedly attracted the attention of Huo Qubing and Li Bowen in the hall.

Zhou Xu ignored them for the time being, but directly reached out and pulled out the stopper of the clay pot.

Suddenly, a special smell spread in the hall, making Huo Qubing and Li Bowen, who had been paying attention to the situation here, couldn't help but sniff.

【Is this smell a bit familiar? 】

Li Bowen always felt that he had smelled this smell somewhere before, and then quickly realized it.

"Wine! Your Majesty, is the little jar filled with wine?"

Unlike Huo Qubing, who has basically never drank alcohol due to health reasons since childhood, Li Bowen is also a lover of wine. , I have to drink a few glasses of wine every dinner to feel comfortable.

"How can the aroma of this wine be so strong? Wei Chen didn't recognize it at once!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xu smiled slightly.

Then he took a clean teacup at hand and poured the wine from the small jar into the cup.

In an instant, a stream of wine as transparent as water was poured into the cup.

During the process of pouring wine, the rich aroma of wine could not help but spread faster in the Qinzheng Hall. While further stimulating everyone's sense of smell, Li Bowen also looked at the clear wine. It was dumbfounded.

Most of the wine in this era is turbid. The wine poured from their majesty’s hands in front of them was so clear that even Li Bowen became suspicious.

【So clear, is it really wine? 】But the aroma of wine that was constantly stimulating his sense of smell clearly put the answer in front of him.

Looking at Li Bowen who started to swallow his saliva unconsciously, Zhou Xu smiled and asked...

"What? Want to drink?"

In this regard, Li Bowen just laughed twice, but did not dare to answer.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu had no idea.

"You can't drink this wine, it will kill you."

Hearing this, Li Bowen was suddenly shocked.

“Your majesty can drink it and kill people. Is this poisonous wine?”

As he said these words, Li Bowen suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

【This poisonous wine is actually so tempting. If Your Majesty hadn't told me and someone else had put it directly in front of me, I would have been tempted to take a sip. It was really scary! 】

Zhou Xu didn't know what kind of mental journey Li Bowen was going through at this moment, but he continued to talk to himself...

"It's not poisonous wine, I call this stuff alcohol."

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Li Bowen couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart when he heard that it was not poisonous wine.

"Your Majesty, what is this alcohol? With the word "wine" and such a strong aroma of wine, is it also a kind of wine?"

"The two are the same in composition. Yes, there’s nothing wrong with saying that, but this alcohol is not for drinking, but for saving lives!”

At this moment, what Zhou Xu said could be said to be completely beyond the expectations of Huo Qubing and Li Bowen.

Drinking is harmful to the body, they know, but can alcohol save lives?

No matter how smart a person is, they cannot understand something that is completely beyond their common sense.

And this matter cannot be explained for a while.

Zhou Xu, who knew this in his heart, had no intention of explaining more,

After briefly confirming the purity of the alcohol by pouring out the alcohol, Zhou Xu directly put his fingers into the teacup filled with alcohol and wetted it, then wiped the alcohol on the back of his hand.

Feeling the rapid evaporation of the alcohol, coupled with the familiar smell that was so strong that it was even pungent, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction.

“It’s done!”

To obtain alcohol, simply speaking, you need to continuously distill and purify the wine, and finally remove the water.

It is very simple to say, but it takes a lot of effort to operate.

Zhou Xu himself is not very interested in wine, and he is even less interested in high-alcohol liquor.

The reason why we specially ordered people to refine alcohol is because we value the medical value of alcohol!

In this era, I don’t know how many people have died from wound infections, and the role of alcohol is to disinfect the wounds.

As long as alcohol can be put into use smoothly, the casualties after every battle in the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be further controlled!

I didn’t rush to do it before because making this alcohol really costs food.

In the past, the food in Xinnan District was not enough for everyone to eat, so naturally there was no extra food for him to make alcohol.

But things are getting better now. With the opening of waterways, the grain from Pingyuan Farm can be quickly transported to Xinnan District through water transportation channels. In addition, the grain output of Xinnan District itself has also been completely improved. After recovering, Zhou Xu started the project and achieved the current results!
