Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 37: Distilled wine, Perfume, Maltose

wine, Perfume, Maltose

Soon, Sparrow picked out three carpenters and started to make the tools according to Alan’s blueprints.

In fact, it was not difficult. The tool for distilling alcohol only needed a condenser tube made out of wood and iron to distill and purify alcohol.

The production of perfume and maltose was also a little simpler, and it did not require too complicated tools.

With the efforts of the three craftsmen, a tool for distilling wine was made very quickly.

Although it was a little crude, it was enough to be used for experiments.

Alan had someone take out a bucket of wine. Then, in front of everyone’s eyes, he poured the entire bucket of wine into the iron pot at the bottom, closed the lid, and started the distillation process.

Of course, the distillation process was not going well due to technical problems. However, after Alan’s various operations, a batch of alcohol had been distilled at the very least.

Although Alan’s various operations were not qualified, he had already made great progress in this world.

Alan smiled as he watched drops of wine being distilled.

He gave Sparrow and Edward a cup each and also got one cup for himself.

The three of them began to taste it at the same time.

Sparrow’s eyes widened in an instant. He could not believe that the ordinary wine had become so mellow after Alan’s operation and its taste was even stronger.

“Good wine! Good wine!”

Sparrow repeatedly spoke, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

Even Old Master Edward, who had served the nobles for a long time and tasted wine from all over the world, had his eyes lit up. “Good wine!”

Alan smiled. “What you guys are drinking is just the first distillation. This thing can still be distilled for a second time, but one distillation is enough for the time being. However, this distillation tool needs to be improved. In addition, we need to brew some better wine. This way, the distilled wine will be more fragrant and charming.”

As Alan said that, he started fiddling with the next thing, perfume.

Coincidentally, perfume also needed alcohol as a raw material. However, Alan was not sure how much alcohol was needed, so he could only distill the distilled wine once more to increase the alcohol concentration and started to make perfume.

Making perfume was relatively simple. He crushed some roses, added some water, and then added some alcohol into the small sealed bottles…

Just like that, Alan obtained a bottle of rose perfume.

The fragrance of the perfume was not strong or light, it was very charming.

“My God! What is this thing? To be able to emit a scent that is even more charming than a rose, I bet that women will love this thing to death.”

Sparrow laughed until his eyes were almost gone.

While he was laughing, Alan had already started to make maltose. This required wheat and glutinous rice, which he had in his castle.

Soon, he made a pot of maltose with the help of his memory.

“God, I finally know why you favor the Lord so much. His intelligence is too terrifying.”

Sparrow took a mouthful of maltose, and he was instantly conquered by this sweet taste.

“What is this thing? Why does it make me feel so happy?”

Sparrow muttered to himself as he ate the maltose. He had been thoroughly shocked by Alan’s actions, and now he was a little demented.

It wasn’t just him. Even the housekeeper, Edward, was shocked by Alan’s craft.

He had never known that Alan had so many skills.

Anyone who took out one of them would be able to make a fortune overnight.

Not to mention that Alan came up with three golden ideas for making money in one day.

At this moment, Edward felt that Alan was a little unfamiliar. It was as if he had become the most knowledgeable scholar in an instant, and Edward could not see through him.

“Yeah, it’s not bad. Sure enough, sugar can give people a happy feeling.”

Alan also tasted a mouthful of maltose and found it to be good.

“Sir, please teach these three methods to me. I, Sparrow, swear that I will never tell anyone.”

Sparrow snapped back to his senses, knelt in front of Alan excitedly, and begged Alan to teach the production technique of these three things.

Although he has watched it just now, watching and learning were two different things.

“Sure, Sparrow. I was going to give these methods to you, anyway. Your current task is to gather people and do a good job. Now that the road to business has been opened, we need to show the world our value.”

Alan smiled.

He wasn’t worried that Sparrow would betray him because when he swore allegiance to him, the system had planted a mark on his soul so that he would never betray him.

“Come, take a good look at my methods and grasp the time.”

Alan began to teach Sparrow the techniques of distilling wine and making perfume, as well as maltose.

Sparrow was fascinated by what he heard. This was the case with him. As long as the knowledge was related to money, he could learn better than a good student. But if it had nothing to do with money, then he would never learn it.

Soon, Sparrow mastered the production methods of distillation of wine, perfume, and maltose.

The shrewd man with a mustache immediately left. He couldn’t wait to do something big.
