She watched absentmindedly as the wine in the iron pot boiled continuously, and the rising water vapor poured onto the iron plate. The iron plate was cold because of the continuous pouring of ice water. So hot on the outside and cold inside, a layer of water drops formed on the iron plate.
The previous layer of water droplets formed had yet to evaporate when a heat wave followed, bringing a new layer of water droplets covering the previous layer of water droplets.
More and more water vapor followed finally becoming rivulets of water, which was left along the iron plate, but was gathered by the sink below.
There were two sinks. When the first one got full, it was replaced with a new one. Repeating this process, she was finally able to dry a whole pot of wine!
The liquor of the Southern Zhao Kingdom was impure, or all liquors in ancient China are impure, so there was always a "Mug of muddy wine for a thousand miles," but the distilled liquor looked much clearer and sparkled.
Ye Liuli fetched it with a small spoon and put it on the tip of his tongue.
It was about forty-five degrees.
She was not a fool. In modern times, because her mother was Mongolian, she also grew up in the grassland where she was looked after by her grandmother. She always had a good drink and it was almost too difficult to not meet her opponents after leaving the grassland.
Gu Yanxi saw Ye Liuli tasted the wine, and found a clean spoon, and put some on the tip of his tongue.
The feeling he got was like a flame blooming on the tip of the tongue, and the flames quickly rushed around the body along the tongue, slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness. "Good wine!" he exclaimed sincerely.
Ye Liuli smiled, "Since you like it, I will share it for you to drink. After processing it again, you really can't drink it."
Then, she let him take a wine glass and poured a glass for him.
"Still processing?" Gu Yanxi thought that the woman in front of him would ridicule him, but she did not expect that she reserved a cup for him.
"Yes, let me tell you, the composition of wine is alcohol and water, I wonder if you can understand it, as if the composition of muddy water is soil and water. And high concentration alcohol has a bactericidal effect. For example, someone's physical injury, it is possible can cause fever and ulcers. These are all caused by viral germs." She explained patiently. "As long as you eliminate these viral germs, you will greatly reduce the possibility of fever and inflammation and ulceration. So you understand? "
There was a slight change in his opinion about Ye Liuli, and Gu Yanxi was still alert near her.
He squinted, and between the overlapping eyelashes, questioning glances flashed in his eyes, "Even if you are telling the truth, how did you know?"
Ye Liuli lowered her eyes, and her eyes quickly turned. "Before marrying your master, I had a hard time in Xiangfu. Although I had pretended to be stupid, conspiracies against me continued. Those vicious women just wanted to kill me or destroy me. When I Liuli, turned the age of nine, a strange-looking man appeared by my window every night. He said he was my uncle. If I wanted to live, I would learn some skills from him, and it was because of this ability that I was here. Later on, he took me out to practice on people, that's how I survived upto this time. "
As for whether Ye Liuli's body really had an uncle, naturally she didn't care, as long as she could save her skin.
The doubt in Gu Yanxi's eyes faded, "Where is he now?"
"I don't know. He taught me these skills and when I reached marriageable age, he made me swear that I couldn't reveal the skills. Then he left and never appeared again." Ye Liuli found that she was a liar expert and cooked her story as she went along, she even began to believe herself.
Gu Yanxi sneered, "Since you took the oath, why are you showing your skills now? Isn't it contradictory?"
Ye Liuli rolled her eyes fiercely, "Gu Jun, are you really a military division commander? Why are you so brain dead to ask such a foolish question. I will become a widow without revealing my skills and I don't want to return to Xiangfu again!"
