Border Soldiers: My granaries are full of grain and meat, and I guard this region.

"Hmm? What's this smell?"

Ye Zhiwan, who was taking care of Ye Ling Shuang on the second floor, subconsciously raised her head and sniffed.

As the manager of Ye Family Restaurant, Ye Zhiwan naturally knew a lot about wine, so she was immediately taken aback when she smelled the rich aroma of the wine.

"Could it be that Brother Qi really did it?"

With questions in mind, Ye Zhiwan went to the kitchen on the first floor. As soon as she pushed open the door, she felt a strong aroma of wine rush into her nostrils.

This is completely different from when Li Fu brewed the wine before.

Previously, every time Ye Zhiwan went to Li Fu to get drinks, Li Fu would block her completely, not letting her see any of his techniques, and there was no taste at all.

But now, the aroma of Qi Feng's brewed wine alone far surpasses that of Li Fu's wine.

"Brother Qi, could this be the wine you brewed?"

Seeing Qi Feng bustling around in the kitchen, Ye Zhiwan opened her eyes wide and stood at the doorway to ask a question.

Qi Feng looked up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"That's right, I've purified the liquor again. Now, in Fuxing County, I claim to be the best, and nobody dares to claim second place!"

"Would you like to try some?"

Qi Feng gently scooped out a spoonful of the cooled liquor and handed it to Ye Zhiwan.

Seeing the clear, transparent wine in the ladle, completely different from the previous cloudy wine, Ye Zhiwan's eyes lit up.

She could tell from the appearance of the drinks that they must be good!

"Be careful, this drink has a high alcohol content, just take a small sip."

Ye Zhiwan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"I've been the manager of Ye Family Restaurant for so many years, and while my alcohol tolerance isn't exceptional, it's certainly not something most people can match. How come I can only drink a small sip?"

Qi Feng smiled but didn't say anything. He just watched as Ye Zhiwan downed most of her drink in one gulp.

As the liquor went down her throat, Ye Zhiwan felt a burning sensation in her throat, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed to her head. Before she could even process what was happening, her stomach was churning as if someone were stirring something inside her with a knife.

Ye Zhiwan subconsciously closed her eyes, suppressing the churning in her stomach. At the same time, she felt dizzy, and the Qi Feng in front of her suddenly turned into many figures.

"Brother Qi... Brother Qi, how did you become... so many?"

Seeing Ye Zhiwan's unclear speech, Qi Feng smiled and shook his head.

"I told you not to drink so much, just a small sip would be enough, but you wouldn't listen!"

Ye Zhiwan tried hard to open her eyes and retorted:

"I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk at all! I can drink more!"

However, despite what Ye Zhiwan said, her body became unsteady and swayed, and she was at risk of falling over at any moment.

Hearing the commotion, Yu Yourong came to the kitchen and was somewhat surprised by what she saw.

"You Rong, you've come at the right time. I just brewed a new wine, and Ye Zhiwan insisted on trying it. She got drunk right away, so you should take her away quickly."

As Qi Feng spoke, Ye Zhiwan was still waving her hand unsteadily on the other side.

"I'm not drunk at all! Sister Yu, don't listen to Brother Qi... I'm perfectly fine now!"

After Ye Zhiwan finished speaking, she began to walk towards the door, but with each step she took, she swayed on the ground three or four times.

Upon seeing this, Yu Yourong burst out laughing and quickly stepped forward to help Ye Zhiwan.

Ye Zhiwan fell into Yu Yourong's arms, resting her head on those "Yourong" hands. She was still muttering "I'm not drunk," but soon stopped talking and began to breathe heavily.

Qi Feng stepped forward and, together with Yu Yourong, led Ye Zhiwan to the second floor, found a guest room, and settled her in.

"Husband, is your wine really that amazing?"

Yu Yourong looked at the sleeping Ye Zhiwan, then turned her head and looked at Qi Feng with bright eyes.

"You'll know once you come down and try it. With this wine, I can guarantee I'll easily make a fortune in Fuxing County. At the same time, I can use this wine to continue my good relationship with Zhong Shao and Zhao Tongchuan. Whether I can get in through the Zhong family's connections depends on this."

Qi Feng came to the kitchen. Learning from Ye Zhiwan's example last time, this time Qi Feng only scooped a small portion for Yu Yourong, so that Yu Yourong would also get drunk.

After Yu You Rong took small sips of the wine, her fair face turned rosy in the next second.

"See? I didn't lie to you."

Seeing Yu Yourong's appearance, Qi Feng smiled gently.

Yu Yourong gently rubbed her face, feeling a burning sensation in her stomach and an intense heat on her face.

"My husband, I never knew you could brew wine..."

"Your husband is capable of many things!"

Looking at Yu Yourong's rosy cheeks, Qi Feng felt a surge of desire and went up to kiss her lips.

Feeling the touch on her lips, Yu Yourong shuddered as if she had been electrocuted, freezing on the spot, unsure of where to put her hands.

Fortunately, Qi Feng only gave her a light kiss and didn't go any further, which made Yu Yourong feel relaxed but also left her feeling a little empty.

Qi Feng saw that Yu Yourong's ear tips were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, so he reached out and scratched the tip of her nose.

"Alright, go upstairs and check on Ye Ling Shuang. Once I distill and purify this wine again, it will be ready for her to use."

"use?"

Yu Yourong looked at Qi Feng with some surprise. In her mind, wine was only for drinking, so how could it be used for other purposes?

"Ye Ling Shuang suffered knife wounds, and those wounds are now inflamed. There are many bacteria in the wounds that we cannot see. The reason she developed abscesses is because of these bacteria. If the bacteria are not killed, she will die from these abscesses. High-concentration liquor has a bactericidal effect, which is why I need to purify the liquor again."

Yu Yourong nodded as if she understood, though she didn't quite grasp the vocabulary Qi Feng used. But looking at Qi Feng's confident appearance, Yu Yourong subconsciously chose to believe him.

After Yu Yourong left, Qi Feng continued to put the liquor from the first distillation into the iron pot and began the second distillation.

"The alcohol content after the first purification is around 30 degrees. By refluxing and redistilling this alcohol, it can be purified to 60-70 degrees, which is more than enough to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria."

Although Li Fu left behind several large vats of wine, the yield of purified wine was extremely small, often less than one-tenth of the original amount per vat, and the amount of wine produced from secondary purification was naturally even less.

The reason is that Qi Feng used the simplest distillation apparatus, and the process was also relatively simple.

Qi Feng spent another afternoon working in the kitchen until it gradually got dark, and the second purification of the liquor was finally completed.

Qi Feng dipped a finger in the wine, put it in his mouth, and tasted it, immediately feeling a spicy sensation.

"At least it has some of the flavor of strong liquor from my previous life. In that case, Ye Ling Shuang's life can finally be saved."

After collecting the distilled liquor, Qi Feng immediately turned around and went upstairs.

Ye Ling Shuang's health cannot be delayed; the longer it is delayed, the harder it will be to treat. If she develops a severe infection, even Hua Tuo himself would find it difficult to save her in this era of poor medical conditions.
