    That night, Li Feng and Rou Niang mixed the Chinese cabbage and radish directly with grain, cooked a pot of pig food, and fed it to the piglets.

    It¡¯s just that this prodigal behavior makes Rou Niang feel distressed.  Li Feng repeatedly promised that he would never waste food like this again, which made her feel a little more comfortable.

    As a result, Li Feng had to take action immediately.

    The next day, early in the morning, Li Feng, Rou Niang, Xiao Hu, Yaya, Qi Ye, and Lao Tie, there were quite a few of them, arrived at the brewery early. The brewery was where Li Feng planned to use it.  For the sake of convenience, Li Feng specially named the thatched hut where the shochu was made.

    As for the other room, it was of course named the wine cellar by Li Feng.

    At this time, Li Feng was holding a large earthen jar with both hands and slowly walked out of the wine cellar.  Lao Tie, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately removed the lid of the pot.

    Then, Li Feng carried the earthen vat and slowly poured the fermented wine into the big iron pot.  The so-called wine lady refers to the fermented raw wine.

    And the wine of this era is directly filtered by these wine ladies.  There is no distillation process at all.

    In this way, not only the alcohol content in this wine girl is wasted, but also the amount of alcohol produced is extremely low.  The same reason also resulted in the extremely low alcohol content of the wine. At the same time, as Li Feng said, it was half water and half wine, and it was extremely unpleasant to drink.

    What Li Feng is about to do now is to distill the wine, because this process must be heated by fire. In Li Feng¡¯s hometown, this process is called shochu.

    "Xiaohu, go get a bucket of water"

    After pouring all the wine in the wine vat into the big iron pot, Li Feng immediately asked Xiaohu to fetch water.

    "okay"

    Xiaohu agreed readily and trotted off to fetch water.

    Although everyone doesn¡¯t know what Li Feng is trying to do, if that doesn¡¯t work, water needs to be let in.  This made Master Qi and the others completely confused. Anyway, they had never heard of such a method, let alone seen it before.

    However, everyone chose to remain silent, because what Li Feng was doing now was completely different from the brewing method they knew.

    Sure enough, Li Feng took the wooden bucket handed over by Xiaohu and poured most of the bucket into it. Then, he poured the remaining water into the jar, shook it, and all of it was poured in.  Then, Li Feng took a long wooden spoon and gently stirred it in the pot.

    "I said, little madman, are you sure you can still drink this wine after you did it like this? Then you might as well just drink water."

    Although he had been prepared for it, Master Qi was still unable to bear it because of Li Feng's move.  Adding this bucket of water would really ruin the wine.

    "I said, old man, please be patient, okay? Just wait and see. Today, I promise to let you drink good wine that will satisfy you."

    After Li Feng stirred for a while, he put down the wooden spoon and then closed the lid of the pot.  Take a few pieces of wet cloth and seal the perimeter of the pot lid.  Finally, connect the pipe joints and seal them well.

    "Young lady, you can light a fire in the stove. Remember, the fire should not be too strong."

    After everything was done, Li Feng nodded towards Rou Niang, who had already prepared it, and asked her to start making a fire.

    After that, Li Feng made no other moves. He just kept looking around the pipes, especially the large water tank that was filled with water.

    Finding that there was no air leakage at all, Li Feng had to admire again the craftsmanship of this old man. There is really nothing to say about it.

    Everyone looked at Li Feng, looking here and there, wondering what he wanted to do.  Therefore, a group of people also followed Li Feng. Wherever Li Feng went, they followed him. They also stared at whatever Li Feng stared at.

    "I told you to be patient, okay? I'm just checking to see if there's any air leakage. You guys are just joining in on the fun, really."

    Once they heard what Li Feng said, everyone understood that Li Feng was studying this.

    "If you don't tell me, how do we know what you are doing? We want to see what kind of fun you are talking about. You are just adding water to the wine.  It¡¯s cooked over a fire, is it possible that this wine is like food and needs to be cooked before it can be eaten?¡±

    At this time, Master Qi, let alone the depression in his heart.

    It¡¯s okay to look at it but you can¡¯t see clearly. When asked about Li Feng, he was trying to be mysterious and didn¡¯t tell anyone at all, which made everyone feel confused.It was so weird and itchy.

    Actually, it¡¯s not that Li Feng doesn¡¯t want to explain it to them, it¡¯s because he can¡¯t explain it.

    ?? Could it be that Li Feng should tell them that this is the use of alcohol and water, which have different boiling points, for distillation to obtain higher-alcohol wine.

    As time passed slowly, Li Feng felt that he was almost done, so he started to walk towards the big water tank.  At this time, the water in the large water tank had begun to steam.

    "Wowwhy is this water steaming? Ah, big brother, big brother, there is water leaking in here, water leaking"

    Suddenly, little Yaya pulled Li Feng's arm with an anxious look, pointed to the small outlet of the big water tank, and said.

    "Where, where is the water leaking? How is it possible? With my skill, this is impossible. Let me see. Ahthis"

    "The one who reacted the most to Xiao Yaya's words was of course Lao Tie. He was still very confident in his own skills.  However, when I ran over and took a look, it was true that there was no water dripping from that little pipe just now.

    But, now, it is obvious that water is slowly dripping down. This is not a leak, but something else.  Moreover, looking at this posture, it seems that the leakage is getting worse and worse.

    "Little madman, this this"

    At this time, Lao Tie's face was red and he looked very embarrassed.

    However, Li Feng ignored him at all and just stared at the water outlet. When the water began to flow slowly downward, Li Feng took out the small bowl he had already held in his hand, stretched it over and took it.  A little less than half a bowl.

    ? Then I took a sip immediately.

    "Haha, it's done"

    Suddenly, Li Feng became excited and laughed twice.

    However, the movement of this hand was not slow at all. He directly went to a clay jar that had been prepared long ago and put it under the small water pipe.

    "It's done, everything is done, it's all leaking, it makes you like this. Well yes, where does the smell come from? It's so fragrant."

    "That's not water, it's wine, and it's so fragrant. It's definitely good wine. Come on, come on, Xiaohu, bring some bowls over here, hurry up."

    Sure enough, with the strong smell of wine and Li Feng's weird behavior just now, Qi Ye and Lao Tie immediately realized something.

    For these two old drunkards, they knew as soon as they smelled the aroma of the wine that it must be good wine. Not to mention that they had never drunk it before, it was the best wine they had ever heard of.

    When I heard it was a good wine, there was no need to say that Xiaohu's action was needed. Soon, three people, in the tile tank, made a bowl alone, and then poured it directly into the mouth.

    "Oh, Master Qi, please take it easy, you can't drink this wine like this"

    Li Feng, who was still immersed in joy, looked at these three people, took the bowl and started gulping it down, and immediately stopped him.

    You know, this is not the stuff they usually drink.  Especially because the alcohol content of these few kilograms of wine that has just been released is very unusual.

    Since the boiling point of alcohol is only between 70 and 80 degrees, while the boiling point of water is 100 degrees, alcohol is more likely to evaporate.  It has only been heated for a short time now, so the alcohol content in this wine is quite high.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Li Feng tasted it just now. The wine was at least 60 degrees.

    ¡°If you drink this in a big mouth, the taste will be extraordinary.

    "It's a pity that maybe Qi Ye and the others were too impatient, or maybe Li Feng spoke too late. In short, in the end, Li Feng just grabbed the little tiger next to him with his hand to prevent him from drinking.  The seventh master and Lao Tie had already drank a lot of it.

    Then, the eyes of Master Qi and Lao Tie suddenly widened and bulged frighteningly at the same time, and then their expressions became very weird, a little stupid.

    "Seventh Master, Lao Tie, are you okay?"

    "My mother, this wine is so strong"

    After a long time, Master Qi finally seemed to have regained his composure and was able to hold back such a sentence.
