Rum is actually shochu made from sugarcane juice.

Rum is not a specialty of the Republic of Cuba. It is produced in many places, including the Antilles, Colombia, Honduras, and Mexico.

The production process of rum is similar. It is obtained by fermentation and distillation of sugar cane molasses. The rum of the Republic of Cuba is famous because the rum produced by the Republic of Cuba is clear and transparent, and has a pleasant Scent, a feature of the rum production process in the Republic of Cuba.

In the afternoon, after Seth Paedes ordered rum to be delivered, Chuxue asked Yan Shun to send the wine to the underground wine cellar. After opening the cellar, Yan Shun found that the space of the underground wine cellar was unusually large. There are more than 300 oak barrels filled with wine, most of which are large oak barrels with a capacity of 500 liters.

More than three hundred and five hundred liters, a rough estimate of at least 150,000 kilograms, the years are basically more than ten years, and even more can be traced back to half a century ago, this is simply a wine lover heaven.

Li Mu also likes a drink when he's okay, but it's just a taste of it. He will never get greedy. So Li Mu has no special feelings for wine. Now he finds so many wines by accident. Of course, he has to share them with everyone. For those who love wine, the existence of these wines is meaningful.

"Fifteen thousand pounds-God, Rimm, can you give me a barrel, I'm going to pour in the bathtub, and sleep in it at night-" Benjamin's eyes were straight, as if already in rum In the ocean.

"Ah, I do n't have many requirements. I can have a drink every day after work is done. Of course, you must make a bucket for Riem, so that I can have a drink before going to bed." George Dewey's requirements are not high. , Barrels, no matter to Li Mu.

Mahan doesn't speak, but there is a lot of longing in his eyes. For people who really drink good wine, money is not a problem. The key is the rare opportunity. Such a good rum is difficult to buy in the United States. The price is too affordable for ordinary people.

"Relax, I'll get a bucket for each of you back later. When we arrive, we said OK, there are good things to share, so when the cargo ship returns, everyone can send some home. This is ours. The first harvest in Cuba. "Li Mu Dafang, Li Mu must not drink so much wine, Springfield still has Will, so such a good wine, we must get back for Will to taste.

"Long live—" The three of Benjamin cheered in unison, Li Mu's arrangement was so thoughtful that one couldn't be faulty.

With rum as an aperitif, Li Mu 's draft was passed smoothly. Like Li Mu 's expectation, George Dewey and Mahan did not fully understand the health issues, and Benjamin even had a bit of aversion to it. , But for the sake of rum, they did not raise any objections.

"Don't underestimate the issue of health, we must pay more attention to this issue." Li Mu emphasized again, explaining the principle of disease transmission.

Regarding the relationship between personal hygiene and disease, the 21st century is already well-known common sense, but in the 19th century, not many people thought that there was an inevitable connection between the two.

Research on bacteria has begun about two hundred years ago. In 1683, Anton Levenhoek first observed the bacteria using a single-lens microscope designed by himself, but until the late nineteenth century, Louis Bass De and Robert Koch only pointed out that bacteria can cause disease. Before that, people thought that bacteria were "protozoa", and even the meaning of the name bacteria was a rather cute "small stick".

Of course, the "people" here refers to those top scientists. Ordinary people do not even know the existence of bacteria, and their understanding of bacteria is even blank.

Although George Dewey and Mahan are elites in the military field of this era, in the medical field, George Dewey and Mahan are also standard laymen. They have never even heard the word "bacteria".

"So, if we value personal hygiene, then we can overcome the disease caused by unfamiliar environment to a certain extent." Mahan noticed the effect of this discovery.

"Not to a certain extent, but to a large extent. If we pay attention to personal hygiene, then even if we cannot eradicate the occurrence of infectious diseases, we can definitely stop the large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases." Li Muzhi Zhichi said.

"How do you know?" Ma Han looked dignified and pointed directly at the core of the question.

Yes, this question is hard to explain. So many top scientists have not proved the relationship between bacteria and large-scale infectious diseases. How do you know that a half-sized boy from Li Mu?

"My ancestors told me, in fact, you should notice that if a person pays attention to personal hygiene, keeps himself clean, and keeps himself clean, then that person will rarely get sick. This is the same reason." Li Mu could not explain and had to take Credit goes to the Chinese ancestors who have long led the world.

In fact, the health status of Europeans is really nonsense. In the Middle Ages, Europeans generally believed that bathing would be life-threatening. Many medieval Europeans only took two or three baths throughout their lives. More people insisted on not taking a bath. His Excellency Abraham, this man of God insisted on not washing his face and feet for 50 years, and finally he was sanctified.

The mother of King Henry IV of France insisted on not taking a bath for a lifetime, and was confiscated as the Virgin Agnès.

See, this is the case of saints and maidens, ordinary people can imagine.

In the 14th century, a black death spread across Europe, killing one-third of Europeans' lives, and Europeans, like bird-struck birds, began to look for causes, and bathing was unfortunately among them. At that time, doctors believed that water would weaken the function of the organs, and that pores would completely expand when taking a hot bath, and toxic air would enter the body. Therefore, the more baths you take, the more likely you are to get sick. The thick layer of dirt is more resistant to disease attack—

So Europe completely entered the dark era, or into the era of dry erase. The king Louis XIV had only taken a bath between 64 years from 1647 to 1711. This amazing record is impressively written by Louis XIV's doctors every day. Make a physical condition book.

By the time of Louis XV, a hundred years ago, the situation had finally improved. Louis XV only took three baths in his lifetime. The first was a baptism at birth, the second was the day of the big wedding, and the third was to be enrolled. .

If it 's just not taking a bath, Europeans still love to urinate anywhere, and it 's disgusting to think about—

In the nineteenth century, the situation has further improved. Europeans 'personal hygiene has improved significantly compared to before the eighteenth century, but they have not paid enough attention to personal hygiene. Therefore, it is conceivable that Li Mu is so identified as a bad individual. Hygiene habits can cause illness, how shocking they should be for Mahan.

"It does seem to be the case, at least I have rarely gotten sick since I was a child." Although Benjamin didn't want to go to the toilet, Benjamin would at least not hinder his hindsight.

This is actually nonsense. At this level of medical care, if you are weak from an early age, you may burn a person alive if you have a fever.

"Rim, if you can be sure that personal hygiene can resist large-scale infectious diseases, then I will report it." Ma Han looked serious, taking this as a very meaningful thing.

As mentioned earlier, the United States is now engaged in the "Westward Movement". A large number of Americans have entered the central and western regions where no one has ever visited. The most dangerous thing in strange environments is not humans and animals, but invisible diseases. If Li Mu is telling the truth, then this discovery is really valuable to the United States, not less than Guantanamo Bay.

"Yes Alfred, I can be sure that if you pay attention to personal hygiene, you will definitely reduce the chance of a large-scale infectious disease outbreak, so I recommend Washington to promote personal hygiene throughout the country, to build a lot of public health facilities, a lot of Public baths and public toilets everywhere, this will not only improve the environmental level of the entire United States, but also prevent large-scale disease outbreaks. I am pretty sure of this. "Li Mu is also serious. If the US government can do that, then This is also regarded as Li Mu's contribution to this era.

Li Mu now needs more than money, but also fame, honor, or merit. As long as Li Mu's personal status can be improved, Li Mu will not hesitate to copy all the advanced ideas of the 21st century.

If Li Mu could return to the Qing empire, Li Mu would of course be more willing to build the Qing empire into the most powerful country in the world, but the problem is that if the Qing empire cannot tolerate Li Mu, a Han Chinese, Li Mu would not be willing to serve the Qing government. Without choice, Li Mu can only take the United States as his motherland.

"Well, I will report to Washington. How do I decide, let Washington gentlemen choose." Mahan decided to report. For Mahan, if Li Mu is right, then it will definitely benefit the United States. Very profound, if what Li Mu said is false, at least it can make the environment of American cities more beautiful. People don't need so many perfumes to cover up the odor.

Yes, the reason for the invention of perfume is not to increase the charm of women at all, but to cover up the odor. Think about how heavy a person can be if he can persist for decades without bathing-

"I will also send a telegram to Will. Even if gentlemen in Washington do not pay attention to this issue, Will can also be enforced in Springfield. I believe this will be confirmed in the end. No matter what city, the most Those who focus on public facilities first will definitely benefit from it. "Li Mu, regardless of Washington, Springfield is Li Mu's best experiment.

Yeah, Washington's Li Mu is out of control, but in Springfield, Will has absolute power.
