Throne of Vientiane Civilization

In order to make it easier for him to develop 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. He showed no signs of being frightened. Instead, he looked calm throughout the process and continued to peck at the eggshell in front of him, as if nothing happened. The food in front of you is important, and the food in the world is the most important.

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

Holding the bird's nest in his hand, Hilke looked at Xuan Yu who was pecking at the egg shell and asked a strange question.

Apparently, none of them had any experience raising birds.

However, 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 Silk.

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 shouldn't be inferior to 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 day dawned, he had already gotten up for morning exercises.

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

Zhou Xu, who had previous experience, 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 under normal circumstances, he had just finished his morning exercise and his day's work had just begun. How could he just paralyze himself from exhaustion?

This also made Zhou Xu give up the idea for the time being. 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 flask.

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 familiar? 】

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

"Wine! Your Majesty, is this 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 wine lover. He has 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 even 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 was stunned when looking at the clear wine.

Most of the wine in this era was turbid. The wine poured from His Majesty's hand in front of them was so clear that even Li Bowen became suspicious.

[So clear, is that 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 asked with a smile...

"What? Want to drink?"

In response, 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 could only see him continuing 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? It has the word "wine" and has such a strong aroma of wine. Is it also a kind of wine?"

"The ingredients of the two are the same. There is nothing wrong with saying so, 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.

They know that drinking alcohol is harmful to the body, but can alcohol save lives?

Even the most intelligent people 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, did not mean to explain it further.

After simply confirming the purity of the alcohol by pouring out the alcohol, Zhou Xu directly put his fingers into the teacup filled with alcohol and wet them, and then rubbed the alcohol on the back of his hand.

Feeling the rapid evaporation of the alcohol, coupled with the strong and even pungent familiar smell, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction.

"It's done!"

To obtain alcohol, simply put, it is necessary to continuously distill and purify the wine and water, and finally remove the water.

It's simple to say, but it takes a lot of effort to operate.

Zhou Xu himself has no great interest in wine, let alone high-proof liquor.

The reason why he specifically ordered people to refine alcohol is because he values ​​the medical value of alcohol!

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

As long as alcohol can be put into use smoothly, the casualties after each war in their Great Zhou will definitely be further controlled!

He didn't rush to do it before because making alcohol really consumes grain.

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

But now, with the opening of the waterway, the grain from the Plain Farm can be quickly transported to Xinnan District through the water transport channel. In addition, the grain production in Xinnan District itself has been completely restored. Zhou Xu started this project and got the current results!
