Liangchen learned how to make wine with Lao Wangtou, and in the blink of an eye, he has been here for a whole year!
After these days of study, he was able to brew King Fungus Wine by himself, but it was still difficult to grasp the taste.
In the words of Lao Wangtou, one is that the amount of alcohol is too small, and the other is that he drinks too little!
Because in the last step of wine quality control, wine tasting is required to control the purity of the wine.
When tasting wine, you should drink a small spoonful of wine every one or two sticks of incense to determine the dryness of the wine.
He doesn't hold much alcohol. After drinking a few spoonfuls, he becomes red-faced and light-headed. It is difficult to find the best taste, and it becomes even more difficult after he faints!
So after brewing wine several times, it was either too strong or too weak.
But he finally got in, which made Lao Wangtou particularly happy. He felt that his craftsmanship had been passed down and would not be buried in the wilderness with him.
Lao Wangtou's girl Yu Yan is still as crazy as ever, sometimes running around and sometimes staying at home for a few days.
Liangchen was also used to this woman's existence.
When Yu Yan comes back, the two of them will also talk to each other, and it will no longer be as awkward as it was at the beginning.
Liangchen treats her like a child who hasn't grown up yet, and occasionally tells her interesting things to make her happy.
In this way, Yu Yan was deeply attracted by the various magical and weird stories he told, and pestered him to tell stories as soon as he returned home.
Fortunately, I had seen a lot before and picked up all kinds of stories at will. After going back and forth, I was very satisfied with my playmate who could tell stories.
In the past, he always fell asleep when he returned home, but now he always had to tell a few stories before going to bed at a good time, which made him dumbfounded.
But I saw that although she was ugly, she was kind-hearted and had a carefree personality, which made people feel at ease.
Even if he sleeps next to her, he won't feel defensive, so she always tries her best to meet her requests.
"It doesn't matter whether you grow up or not, living in your own world forever is not a blessing!"
"Then again, it's better than the Miss Yan family who is as beautiful as a flower but has a heart of snakes and scorpions!" Liangchen often thought like this in his heart.
In this way, the "husband and wife" relationship between the two is becoming more and more harmonious!
Due to the cultivation during this period and the regular drinking of Bacteria King Wine, his injuries have basically recovered.
And he seems to be stronger than before, unlike when he first arrived, his cheeks were thin and weak.
But what worried him happened again!
The nightmare he had once befell him again like a curse!
Whether it's the mana he condensed through practice, the mana condensed by drinking Bacteria King Wine and taking elixirs, or the mana released by the green liquid in his body, it will disappear as long as he sleeps or after a while!
The scene from more than ten years ago reappeared again, but this time it was even worse. Not only did he fall into the realm, but he lost all his magic power.
This put Liangchen into an almost collapse situation.
He carefully checked his body and found that his injuries had indeed healed, his meridians were unobstructed, and his exercises were going smoothly. However, the traces of mana that had finally been condensed in his dantian would disappear completely in a short time!
"What on earth is going on!?" Liangchen asked more than once. But no one told him the answer.
Fortunately, I have already experienced this situation once, and it is not as scary as the first time.
There may not be a good method, but after his last experience, he knew that as long as he persisted, his mana would slowly increase.
Without the support of magic power, he has no way to refine weapons, so he doesn't even go to weapon shops recently.
Holding the wine jar all day long is like an alcoholic, focusing on studying winemaking at home.
...
On this day, Liangchen was drinking wine with a flushed face when Lao Wangtou walked into the steam room.
"Chen'er, in a few days, I will go to Falling Star Mountain to pick strange berries. It will take two months to go back and forth. These days, you should take good care of me at home." Old Wangtou ordered.
"Don't worry, uncle, Liangchen will take good care of Yu Yan. I wonder where the Falling Star Mountain is? Why can't he take us with him?" When Liangchen heard that he was going to pick kiwi berries, he couldn't help but want to see it.
"Falling Star Mountain is in the Choice Forest in the north. Every year at this time, the brewers in our town will go together to pick kiwi berries. Because there are often monsters there and it is very dangerous, and there are people who cannot come back every year.
It’s just that these kiwi berries are too important to our Liquor Town, and they need to be prepared and preserved using secret methods immediately after picking, so you have to pick fresh fruits yourself.
Your body is too weak. Not to mention the monsters on Falling Star Mountain, even this Forest of Decision will be difficult for you to pass! It would be a burden to go. "Lao Wangtou explained.
"That's it!" Upon hearing this, Liangchen understood the general situation.
"If you really want to go, just learn a few sets of boxing skills from me. Or learn archery. When you can reach my level, you can join us." Lao Wangtou saw the disappointment on Liangchen's face and encouraged him. .
"Let's learn the brewing method after I learn it." Liangchen answered perfunctorily.
"That's okay. The most important thing to learn is that you have to be interested in it! It's not too late to learn if you really want to learn." Lao Wangtou said with a smile.
"I'm going to pack my things, and I'll set off about the day after tomorrow. If anything happens, remember to go see Lao Li Tou, he will help you deal with it." Lao Wang Tou explained again.
"Yes." Liangchen responded, and when he saw the old Wangtou leaving, he picked up the wine spoon and poured a spoonful of wine into his mouth.
"By the way, has Yu Yan come back?" Lao Wang had already walked out of the room and turned around to ask.
"I'm back. I didn't go out today. I should be in the room." Liangchen replied.
"Well, I'll go and tell her not to run out all the time these days." Lao Wangtou turned around and went upstairs.
...
Two days later, Lao Wangtou left Liehuo Town with dozens of people in the town.
One day two months later, when Liangchen was drying materials in the courtyard, a familiar figure walked in. It was Lao Wangtou who had rushed back after a long journey.
"Uncle is back!" Liangchen put down what he was doing and stepped forward to greet him.
"Well, how is everything going when I'm not here?" Lao Wangtou asked with a tired look on his face, frowning.
"Everything is fine. Did uncle's trip to Falling Star Mountain go well?" Liangchen asked.
"Fortunately, I picked enough kiwi berries to last for a while, but I was a little injured." Lao Wangtou put down his things, then walked to the wine cellar with a bag.
"Uncle is injured? Let's take a rest first, I will take care of the rest." Liangchen was about to reach out to take the bag from Lao Wangtou's hand.
"It's a small injury, nothing in the way. You can't help. You haven't mastered the secret method of making kiwi berries yet. Let me do it. Just watch from the side." Old Wangtou said,
"This little injury is nothing, my old bones can still withstand it."
Liangchen followed Lao Wangtou down to the wine cellar.
“Once the kiwi berries are picked, they must be smeared with the juice of the kiwi berries. On the one hand, this can ensure its freshness, and on the other hand, the juice of the kiwi berries can be soaked into the kiwi berries.
Then apply it every two days until it can be secreted after ten times. If it cannot be secreted in time, you need to continue to apply it every five days.
Some of the kiwi berries I picked this time have been completed ten times, so it is best to prepare them in time. The quality of the koji made in this way will be better! "
As Lao Wangtou said this, he took out the kiwi berries from the bag and separated them according to color and smell.
"Look, I have only applied it four times. The color is light green. Each time I apply it, the color will become darker." Lao Wangtou took out a light green oval kiwiberry and showed it to Liangchen.
"This has been applied twelve times. It needs to be made in time, otherwise the quality will get worse and worse over time." Lao Wangtou took out another dark green kiwiberry and said.
"To make kiwi berries into distiller's yeast, first put the kiwi berries and Qianxing tangerine peel into the pot together. Add five mung beans to each kiwi berry. After boiling for a cup of tea, pour the spring water, mung beans and Qianxing tangerine peel together. out.
Then wash and punch three shelled wild pecans, add three spoons of water and bring to a boil. When the water dries, the ripe fruit is made.
The ripe fruits are then dried in a ventilated and dry place for 7,749 days to become dried fruits.
Finally, the dried fruits are ground into powder, which is the koji. "
Lao Wangtou said as he picked out a few kiwi berries and started making them.
It's been an hour since the first batch of ripe fruits was ready.
