Chapter 164 The advent of beer
Qin An pointed at the red powder in front of him and said with a smile: "I put this. This is chili pepper. It is one of the non-standard seasonings and can be placed in any dish, as long as you can tolerate spicy food."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked and stood up.
Even Ying Zheng, who was surprised by the big scene, stood up and pointed tremblingly at the chili peppers on the table. However, he pointed at Qin An and said excitedly: "You, you actually eat chili peppers?"
Qin An picked up a skewer, took a bite, and asked inexplicably: "Chili peppers are just for eating. Is there any problem?"
Meng Yi immediately said: "Village chief, please don't get excited, it's not good for your health." Then he looked at Qin An and said, "Sir, the seeds you brought are not many. After you eat the peppers, won't they?" No more seeds?
From now on, everyone may not be able to eat chili peppers, which is why the village chief is so excited. "
"Hey." Qin An said with a smile, "I thought what you were going to say was, isn't it just peppers? Not to mention that this thing is extremely cheap, let's just say that this pepper has five to six hundred seeds.
After you have picked a pepper plant all at once, do not pull it out. It will bear fruit again in a few days and you can pick it several times.
In other words, a pepper tree can have tens of thousands of pepper seeds.
What's more important is that it only takes about a month to plant and it will bear fruit. You want to plant peppers on a large scale.
In just a few months, you will have an endless supply of pepper seeds.
In fact, I have already planted all the second batch of pepper seeds, and they will be harvested in less than a month. I will use them all as seeds for you this time.
I will use it when I have enough chili peppers. This one will be fine.
As for you, you are really making a fuss and making a fuss out of a molehill. "
Everyone's faces turned slightly red, feeling like they were really country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng. This was the First Emperor. No one had ever dared to say that about him. Everyone was worried that Ying Zheng would suddenly explode.
Ying Zheng took a few deep breaths, suppressed his anger, showed a smile, and said: "Sir, what you are trying to teach us is that we have not been in contact with the outside world for more than two thousand years, so we don't understand many things. Please don't take offense, sir."
Qin An suddenly remembered that this village was very backward and he just used chili peppers. No wonder he was so nervous.
Realizing his mistake, Qin An immediately apologized: "Village Chief, I'm so sorry. I always thought that I could contact the outside at any time and buy whatever I wanted, so I used chili pepper without paying attention.
I also ask the village chief and everyone not to be offended. Don't worry. Give me a few months and I will make sure the village has endless peppers. "
Seeing that Qin An was so knowledgeable, Ying Zheng's anger dissipated instantly and he smiled: "Then it's Mr. Lao. Please rest assured, sir, we all trust you.
Come, let's continue to eat barbecue. Unfortunately, there is no wine, so it is a bit monotonous to eat like this. "
Qin An immediately gave a thumbs up and said: "Experts, barbecue must be paired with beer. If the weather is hot, it is best to have cold beer.
As the saying goes, BBQ goes with beer, and it lasts a night. "
"Beer? What kind of wine is that? Why have I never heard of it?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I brewed it myself."
"Sir, can you still make wine?" Ying Zheng said in shock.
"I know a little bit, I learned it from a roommate in college." Qin An said, "His family makes wine, so my roommate has been exposed to it since he was a child and likes making wine more than drinking.
So whether it's beer, white, or foreign, he can brew it, which leads to everyone in our dormitory being more or less able to brew it. "
Regarding Qin An's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding.
Fusu asked curiously: "Sir, what kind of beer, white, and foreign wine are these?"
Qin An smiled and said: "Beer is beer, white is liquor, and foreign is foreign wine. There are many kinds of wine in the world, and China has the most.
Okay, without further ado, I will bring you the beer I brewed. Zhao Yun, you guys come here to help. "
"promise."
Then Qin An and the others walked into the house, and then everyone saw them walking out carrying a large wooden barrel.
This large wooden barrel was specially built by Qin An for the purpose of brewing beer, and there was also a faucet, a wooden faucet, installed under the barrel.
"I'm sorry, because there aren't many hops, we don't brew much. Everyone's share is limited. In fact, what I'm most worried about is that you won't be used to drinking it. No more nonsense, I'll give it to everyone."
After Qin An finished speaking, he took the bowl and put it under the faucet. When the faucet was turned, liquid flowed out of the faucet, and what he saw was still yellow liquid, which immediately made everyone's scalp numb.
Are you sure this is wine? This question couldn't help but arise in everyone's mind, which made everyone ignore the faucet.
Soon, Qin An placed a bowl of beer in front of everyone.
Then he picked up the beer on the table, raised the bowl and said, "Come on, let's have this first glass of wine. I wish the village will get better and better, and we can open roads to the outside as soon as possible."
Meng Yi and others hesitantly picked up the wine bowl and looked at the yellow-orange liquid in the bowl. For a moment, they did not dare to drink.
Is this really wine?
After Qin An finished drinking, he saw that no one was moving and asked curiously: "Why don't you drink?"
"Drink, let's drink." Ying Zheng took the lead in picking up the wine bowl.
The others reluctantly followed suit and picked up the wine bowl.
Then everyone took a sip of beer, and their faces suddenly became very ugly.
“Pfft~~”
Everyone spat out the beer in their mouths.
Jiang Lu said angrily: "Damn it, this is really urine."
Everyone else also looked at Qin An with resentment.
"Don't be rude." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice to Jiang Lu, and then looked at Qin An in confusion: "Sir, why does this beer taste like this."
Qin An said apologetically: "I have already guessed that everyone is not used to it, and the bitter taste of beer is due to hops.
I brought this with me. I thought it would be inconvenient to carry beer with me, so I bought some hops to brew my own beer," Qin An said.
"Beer is currently a favorite drink among people all over the world. No matter the occasion, they will have a bottle or two of beer."
Everyone was a little moved by what Qin An said, so they looked at the beer in the bowl again.
Meng Yi unconsciously took a sip of wine, then spit it out again and said: "It's still like horse urine, not good at all."
Others immediately did not dare to try and put the bowl directly on the table.
"Sir, didn't you say you brewed other wines? Do you know if there are any?" Li Si said.
"This is gone." Qin An said, "I only thought of brewing after seeing hops, otherwise I wouldn't have this plan.
But forget it if you are not used to drinking. You can try it again when you go out. "
At this time, a villager came to the yard with a large pot of mutton skewers.
After they saluted Ying Zheng, they put down the mutton skewers and left. This was not a place he could keep casually.
Looking at the mutton skewers, Ying Zheng asked: "Can mutton also be grilled?"
"There is no food in the world that cannot be grilled. Zhao Su, you two go clean some fish. I will grill the fish for you. I will grill some mutton skewers first.
Wait for Lao Zhang to come back. We will give you a taste of roasted wild boar, and wrap it with lettuce. It has a refreshing taste and makes you not feel the greasiness of the pork. "Qin An said slowly.
Jiang Lu swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, stop talking, let's start baking."
"Okay, let's start baking." Qin An responded.
Everyone else laughed heartily.
Fu Su, Li Xiao and other four Qin An's disciples went to dissect the fish. They dissected four fish in total and raised the rest.
While Fusu and the others went to kill the fish, Qin An had already grilled thirty skewers of mutton skewers, skewering them in one go and cooking them easily.
Qin An ate and baked. Almost one sip of barbecue and one sip of beer made everyone drool.
So everyone who did not believe in evil tried beer again, but this time everyone suppressed the feeling of nausea and drank the beer.
The heartfelt feeling suddenly hit their whole body, making them feel comfortable.
Then everyone started drinking and eating skewers like Qin An.
Only the four people from Fusu were dissecting fish.
After they dissected the big fish, Zhang Han and the others walked into the village carrying a wild boar weighing about three hundred kilograms.
Qin An immediately put down what he was doing, walked to the wild boar and sighed: "My dear, I have only seen such a big wild boar on TV. In reality, let alone such a big wild boar, I can't even see a small wild boar." Never seen it.”
"Haha... The wild boars are all in the mountains, so it's normal that you can't find them." Zhang Han said with a smile.
Ying Zheng also came over and said, "Sir, how do you plan to roast such a huge wild boar?"
