Seeing that the task progress had reached 9/10, Lin Miao and Chen Yuanzhen excitedly clapped their hands and cheered.

"Great! We only have one last thing left to complete it!

Finally! I don’t want to invent anymore. This period of time has exhausted me mentally and physically.”

Lin Miao nodded vigorously in agreement. That's right. As soon as he closed his eyes at night, his mind was full of what he should do tomorrow.

"The brain cells I've killed in the past few days are equivalent to a year's worth of work. I'm even harder than I was in high school. If I had this kind of perseverance in high school, I could have chosen either Tsinghua or Peking University..."

Chen Yuanzhen rubbed his face, also looking tired.

Of the ten inventions originally listed, only the last one, alcohol, remains.

Chen Yuanzhen impatiently pulled Lin Miao towards the previously planned distillation workshop.

The two of them rushed to the workshop yard and saw that an earthen stove had been set up and the equipment for distillation had been laid out. They were both very satisfied.

After entering the house, Lin Miao saw a row of various earthenware jars in the corner. He couldn't wait to open a wine jar and take a look, but he was immediately dumbfounded.

The wine jar in her hand was relatively small, and Lin Miao thought it contained some kind of classic liquor.

When I opened it, I found a jar of white and turbid rice wine inside!

Lin Miao and Chen Yuanzhen didn't believe it, so they opened the other wine jars and checked them one by one.

It turned out that there were indeed a lot of bottles and jars, but the quality of the wine inside was hard to describe.

No wonder ancient poets always used the phrase "a cup of turbid wine" when writing about drinking, because the wine in front of the two people was indeed very turbid! It was nothing like the clear and transparent white wine of later generations!

Lin Miao estimated that the wine in all the jars on the ground combined would not make up half a pot, and the alcohol concentration would be very low. He suddenly felt confused.

Chen Yuanzhen dipped his hand into the jar unwillingly, then tasted the wine on his fingers and gave up completely.

"Oh my god, this water is too alcoholic, no, this wine is too watery!"

After saying that, she asked Lin Miao to dip a finger in the wine as well, and feel the bitter taste of the wine with her.

After tasting the bland wine, Chen Yuanzhen said he had miscalculated and said to Lin Miao,

"Brewing wine requires a large amount of grain. The North has only been prosperous for a few years. No one would be willing to use so much grain to brew fine wine."

So it's really good that they were able to collect all these drinks, but distilled alcohol is probably a problem.

Don't pour the wine into the pot and turn on the fire, distill it for a long time, and in the end you don't get even a drop of decent alcohol.

Chen Yuanzhen sighed and advised Lin Miao,

"If that doesn't work, sister, let's try something else and see if there's anything easier to do."

Lin Miao shook her head cruelly. She had her own considerations and persistence.

"No, alcohol is essential in the later stages of the war. Otherwise, an infection alone will kill countless people."

Chen Yuanzhen stood with his hands behind his back, muttering about the rich variety of disinfectants and anti-infective drugs in later generations, and tentatively opened his mouth.

"How about the allicin and penicillin that are essential in time-travel novels? Can we get these two?"

"I'm afraid not," Lin Miao denied again.

Because she remembered that allicin and penicillin had to be purified, and the concentrations obtained and produced by traditional methods were not high enough to have a therapeutic effect.

Allicin, oxytetracycline, and salicylic acid were miracle cures in ancient times, and Lin Miao had considered them at the beginning.

But after comparing the difficulty of achieving the goal, I finally chose alcohol.

Now it seems that even alcohol is a luxury for them...

Lin Miao still didn't give up. If they couldn't even produce alcohol, how could they ensure that their already limited manpower wouldn't be drastically reduced when the war broke out?

Moreover, although alcohol is not as intuitive and inspiring as military pay and food, its therapeutic effect can play a huge role in stabilizing military morale!

No! She still had to think of a way to make the alcohol! But she didn't even have the raw materials, what should she do...

Lin Miao's brows were twisted into a ball. As he paced back and forth near the wine jar, he heard Chen Yuanzhen squatting on the ground muttering that he wanted to eat salmon, and suddenly he had an idea.

As if he had seen his savior, Lin Miao excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yuanzhen's shoulders and shook her,

"What did you just say?! You want salmon, right?!"

Chen Yuanzhen was confused and tilted her head to look at Lin Miao.

"Yeah, I'm talking about my salmon. Since I can't get the last alcohol, I wonder if I can still get the first 900 points?"

After thinking of a solution, Lin Miao was so excited that he wanted to turn into a gorilla, pounding his chest and laughing loudly.

"Eat! Eat with big mouthfuls! No problem! Let's eat now!"

After saying that, Lin Miao quickly opened the system mall, exchanged for a salmon that could be eaten raw, and then exchanged for ten bottles of Moutai from the wine and beverage column!

Seeing the giant salmon appearing out of thin air and the bottles of Moutai rolling all over the ground, Chen Yuanzhen exclaimed in shock, his hands trembling so much that he didn't know which one to point to first.

Lin Miao picked up a bottle of Moutai from the ground and saw the 53 degrees written on the ingredient list on the back of the bottle. He squinted his eyes and grinned with satisfaction.

Then he held Chen Yuanzhen's little face, who kept poking the salmon, and kissed her on the forehead.

"Sister, you are my inspiration! How come you are so smart?!

If you hadn’t mentioned salmon, I wouldn’t have even thought there was such a thing as a universal supply store!!!”

Seeing that the mission was about to be completed, both of them were in a happy mood. Chen Yuanzhen even said a joke,

"Your supply store is so versatile, it has everything. Maybe even alcohol?"

Lin Miao looked at it and casually denied it.

"Impossible, I looked around a lot and didn't see any alcohol..."

Before he could finish his words, his gradually darkening face proved that Lin Miao had been slapped in the face.

Because in the corner of the system store, there are not only alcohol, but also several kinds of large and small bottles...

Lin Miao was so angry that he laughed. He wanted to exchange it for two bottles of alcohol and use them to complete the task to make up the number.

But what if the system doesn't recognize it? Don't act rashly and simply don't redeem it.

Lin Miao picked up the Maotai on the ground and called Chen Yuanzhen to go to the yard to help.

The high-concentration liquor of 53 degrees is very close to the medical standard of 75% alcohol.

Ten bottles of white wine were poured into the iron pot, but only a shallow layer was formed. Lin Miao had no choice but to pick up the bucket next to him and pour another bucket of cold water into the pot.

"ignition!"

"Got it!"

The flame symbolizing hope ignited with a bang in the newly built stove.

Chen Yuanzhen skillfully put all the firewood prepared nearby into the fire. Fearing that the fire was not strong enough, he shoveled several shovels of coal from the coal pile in the corner and stuffed it in.

Then he stood beside the iron pot with Lin Miao, waiting for the alcohol to be condensed.

Ten bottles of white wine plus a large pot of water only condensed into less than three bottles of alcohol.

Worried that the concentration of the alcohol he made was not high enough, Lin Miao was just about to go to the system store to exchange a few bottles of ready-made alcohol to add it in, when he saw that the task was already in green status.

Lin Miao couldn't wait to receive the mission reward and couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.
