Although she was surprised, Su You could also guess that this might be related to Lin Chen's 'ancestral skills'. Since it was passed down from ancestors, she was not prepared to know too much about it, so she first praised her sincerely, and then Then ask her when these wine jars can be opened.
Qitan means that the wine has been brewed, so what she asked was actually the brewing time of these wines.
Lin Chen thought for a while and said: "Fruit wine only takes three days, ale wine five days, medicinal wine only takes ten days to open, but if you want to maximize the medicinal effect, it is best to seal it for another ten days. "
If it were realistic, even home-brewed fruit wine would take at least a week, and ale and medicinal wine would take even longer.
But this is not reality after all. In a world where wheat and rice can mature in just ten days, three to five days is actually not a short time.
This data was similar to what Suyou remembered, so she didn't have any doubts. At most, it was regretful... But it was not good to be too greedy. She was already very satisfied with having a winemaker who could be the master of two people. .
"Then we can open the business directly after the fruit wine is brewed. There are not many people in the territory at the moment, so there is no need to brew too much wine at once. You can also take a rest." After all, it can be regarded as recovering from a serious illness. Although this is not emphasized here, the illness It's better if it's better, but there's really no need to work so hard.
Lin Chen was a little moved, because she also knew that she had indeed worked harder these past two days, and the reason was very simple. She was doing this to repay Su You.
She only knew how to make wine, so naturally she wanted to make more wine to express her gratitude to the two sisters for their help.
"Actually, it's not tiring. When I first learned to make wine, I made up to a hundred jars of wine a day." This is true, but the difference is that the wine she made when she was studying was the simplest and completely different. Anyone who knows how to make wine can read most of it if they are not stupid.
Su You also guessed that Lin Chen would answer this way, so she changed her approach: "It's okay if you don't feel tired, but the materials in the territory are also limited. If you make wine like this, you will probably use up all the ingredients in Meike's place." .”
The raw materials of fruit wine are red berries and some other fruits in the forest, the raw materials of ale wine are wheat, and the raw materials of medicinal wine are various herbs obtained from Vivian.
Red berries are not bad. With the increase in the types of ingredients and food recipes, berries are no longer necessary and the main ingredient. It is not a disadvantage to use them to make fruit wine.
But wheat and herbs are different. These are things with other uses.
Although Meike can't make pasta, pasta, such as buns, steamed buns and noodles, are suitable for cooking skills.
If the wheat runs out, there will be no flour, and the production of this type of food will naturally stop... Not everyone likes to eat rice.
"Ah..." Lin Chen realized that wheat herbs are not only used for making wine. She has also been to the restaurant and knows that there are many foods in the restaurant that require flour, and she also knows that herbs are very useful.
Su You's reason was very reasonable and Lin Chen couldn't refuse, so she immediately said she understood.
After that, Su You glanced at the wine jar that had just been sealed on the ground. Lin Chen immediately understood what she meant. After hesitating for a moment, he introduced hesitantly: "This is a wine passed down from my family's ancestors... but the ingredients are relatively different. It’s special and most people probably won’t like it.”
The reason why she brewed this was that, on the one hand, she liked brewing, and there happened to be corresponding materials for making it here, so she made it. On the other hand, although this wine was a bit special, it was indeed a good thing.
Just like good medicine tastes bitter, a wine that is not liked by others does not necessarily mean it is not a 'good wine'.
Lin Chen's words aroused Su You's curiosity. She saw that Lin Chen didn't seem to be unwilling to talk, but was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it, so she didn't explain directly. Therefore, Su You first said that she didn't care, and then took the initiative to ask About these twenty jars of wine.
"Well... there are a total of twenty-six jars of wine here, of which ten jars are called 'thorn wine', ten jars are called 'bitter wine', and the remaining six jars are 'stinky wine'." Lin Chen said while observing Su You His face showed no signs of disgust or displeasure, and he felt relieved.
However, although Su You was calm on the outside, that was not the case on the inside.
Suyou: ...It is indeed special.
Although Lin Chen explained in advance that these wines were 'special', Suyou was still surprised by the names of these three wines.
The thorn wine and bitter wine are barely normal, but this smelly wine... To be honest, if this name appears on the menu behind the tavern when it is open, it will probably scare away many people.
"Tell me about the materials and functions of these three wines." It doesn't matter if the name is strange, the worst thing is to change the name.
Suyou is a practical person. As long as these three kinds of wine have good effects, even the smelliest wine will be fragrant.
Lin Chen: "There are a lot of materials, and I can't finish them all in a short while. If the lord needs it, I can write a recipe tonight."
These three types of wine require as many as ten kinds of materials. The one that requires the most is the thorn wine, which requires seventeen kinds of materials. Even the stink wine that requires the least amount of materials requires twelve kinds.
And having the materials is not enough. You must have a detailed proportional formula and a unique brewing method. Otherwise, if one step goes wrong, the wine will be useless.
With so many and complicated things, it is easier to just look at the recipes.
"The formula is not necessary for the time being. I don't want the formula, I just want to know the materials. If these three wines have good effects, I will have people collect these materials when the time comes."
Su You was not interested in the formula. Unless this was some kind of treasure that could revive human flesh and bones, the formulas she knew would definitely not be inferior to these wines. It was just a matter of whether the ingredients were available and whether it could be brewed.
Lin Chen nodded, and then began to introduce the functions of these three wines.
"Long-term use of thorn wine can strengthen the body, drinking a small amount of bitter wine can restore a person's mental state, and drinking stinky wine can calm the mind and make people focus."
Su You translated Lin Chen's words according to her own understanding——
The function of thorn wine should be that long-term use can increase a person's attributes. Since it is to strengthen the body, the attributes should be related to strength, constitution or disease resistance.
Drinking bitter wine can restore your mental state. There are two possibilities. One is to relieve or accelerate recovery from fatigue to a certain extent, and the other is to increase physical strength.
As for the smelly wine, this function is somewhat rare. Su You suspects that it can be used to make items to increase the probability of output during production.
