My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 193 Alcohol Appears
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little distressed as he watched Xu Da move a whole box of wine, but as an emperor, he couldn't take back his words, right?

Originally, Xu Da liked the box of the immortal wine called "Coke", but Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to part with it. He also wanted to know what was in this "Coke", so he asked him to choose another one. Then Xu Da chose "Feitian Moutai".

As a result, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw the two words "Feitian", he thought it was a divine brew and refused to give it to him. When he saw that there were several boxes of Erguotou, he decided to let him take the Erguotou.

As a result, Xu Da disliked the name of Erguotou because it was too rustic.

After a long time, Xu Da saw the three words "Jian Nanchun" and felt that they had a sense of chivalry. After much persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang lost his temper and had to give up the product with great reluctance.

Fortunately, there were two boxes of Jiannanchun. Xu Da took one box away, leaving him with one box that he could keep and drink slowly.

Before leaving, Xu Da was still obsessed with "Coke". After much persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to open the box. Then, when he saw the bottles of black liquid, he was a little scared.

Xu Da was also shocked. Could this Coke be some kind of hallucinogenic drug that would make people laugh foolishly after drinking it?
Thinking that what Lao Li sent was always right, Zhu Yuanzhang bravely unscrewed a bottle, then tasted it carefully, and his eyes immediately lit up.

It is sweet and refreshing, and your mouth is full of bubbles. After one sip, you will immediately feel your whole stomach filled with bubbles and feel happy.

No wonder it’s called Coke, it really makes people feel happy when they drink it in one gulp!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's intoxicated look, Xu Da couldn't help but take a bottle himself. Then he unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it in one gulp. Suddenly, his expression was the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's, full of surprise.

This should not be wine, because there is no smell of alcohol at all, but it is indeed delicious. So he shamelessly asked Zhu Yuanzhang for two bottles, saying that this sugar water is good and he wants to take it home for his grandson to drink.

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately displeased. You, Xu Tiande’s grandson, are our Zhu’s grandson. Don’t use Zhu Gaochi and his little bastards as an excuse.

What kind of person is Xu Da? He can use his face as a rag. Since the excuse of his grandson doesn't work, he directly brings up Li Wenzhong, Tang He and others.

He said that he would go back and brag to the nobles that Your Majesty had the best fairy wine. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that Xu Da was shameless and had to let him take away two more bottles of Coke.

After telling Xu Da to get lost, he took out the letter and started reading it. When he saw the first sentence, he burst out laughing.

"Old Zhu, you are so unfair. I have always treated you as a brother, but you want to be my father?
Do you think that Old Li can't see your little tricks?"

Isn't this just to make you see it?
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but mutter to himself, one of my wishes is to make you, Old Li, kneel down and offer me tea, and then call me "Dad". Then I'll give you a big red envelope, and everything will be perfect. How wonderful it is.

This wish is second only to making the Ming Dynasty reach the top of the world!

But the more Old Li said this, the more Old Zhu wanted to laugh.

"It's best for Zhu Funing to grow up happily and healthily, so, Old Zhu, don't worry too much. The girl is lively and energetic now, which is a manifestation of youthful energy. You don't have to be too anxious, just let nature take its course.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. "

What Old Li said does make sense. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We, Old Zhu, are busy with all kinds of things every day, so there is no need to worry about so many things.

"I have sent you the video materials for promotional purposes. They are related to Chinese history. After all, to enhance national identity, we must first know how our nation came about, right?" Indeed, I have already read "General History of China" and was deeply moved by its content. I also finally understood how our civilization was passed down.

After all the preparations are done, we can organize nationwide broadcasts to enhance national identity. There is no time to lose!

“As for the sweet potato liquor you mentioned, it’s not really a good liquor. It’s just that during the Anti-Japanese War, because of the shortage of supplies, many anti-Japanese soldiers couldn’t even get enough food, so liquor became even more precious.

Sweet potato soju, to put it simply, is soju made from sweet potatoes. The batch of liquor I sent you this time also includes sweet potato soju. Try them all and tell me which one you like. I’ll send you more. I won’t say anything else, I’ll give you as much as you want!”

It turns out that sweet potato liquor is made from sweet potatoes. This has solved the doubts in Old Zhu's mind. But Old Li is really nice. With his word that we can drink as much as we want, we can drink it with confidence.

"Besides that, I also brought you a good thing, a method for making alcohol!"

alcohol?

Upon hearing the name, Zhu Yuanzhang became excited. Alcohol, alcohol, isn’t that the essence of wine?
I don’t know what kind of wonderful taste it will have when I drink it.

However, Li Han's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured on his head.

"First of all, I have to tell you clearly that alcohol is not meant to be drunk. If you drink it, you will be poisoned. But it has other uses!"

If you can’t drink, then where’s the fun in that?

Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips, feeling a little disappointed, but what did Lao Li mean by "very useful"?
“After a person is injured, especially a serious injury, why do they often have a fever that lasts for several days? Do you know why?

That’s because the wound is infected with bacteria. You should know what bacteria are. If you don’t know, go to Lou Ying and check it out under a microscope!

Alcohol can play a big role at this time. Washing and disinfecting with alcohol immediately after the injury can effectively prevent bacterial infection. "

How could I not know what bacteria are? Old Li, you underestimate me too much. Now that Lou Ying is the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, he leads a group of imperial doctors to study bacteria to the point of being obsessed.

But it turns out that this alcohol is used to disinfect injuries. No wonder Lao Li said it is very useful. It is indeed so.

"In addition, Lao Zhu, you have been to the battlefield and fought in countless battles. Many soldiers on the battlefield did not die on the spot, but died in the process of recuperation. This kind of casualties accounted for more than half of the total. So, I don't need to explain in detail what the use of alcohol is.

The raw materials for making alcohol are the same as those for brewing wine, which are grain. However, considering that grain in the Ming Dynasty should be supplied as staple food first, sweet potatoes can be used instead of raw materials.

I have attached the detailed process of making alcohol to the end of this letter. You must strictly follow the above requirements and process to produce qualified alcohol. "

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but stood up. That's right, what Lao Li said was right. This alcohol is really useful!
It’s a shame that Old Zhu was just thinking about drinking and didn’t think of this!
After being injured, the soldiers were infected with bacteria, so in the past wars, the wounded in the rear often died due to persistent fever. With this alcohol, at least the lives of a large group of soldiers can be saved!
Old Li, although you often use drastic measures, I, Old Zhu, know that you actually have a kind heart like a bodhisattva!

When you gave the sweet potatoes to our Ming Dynasty, you probably had already thought of this, right?
Without further ado, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked someone to call the palace craftsmen, and he wanted to personally oversee the production of alcohol!
