However, Kuyu City has a strange rule, that is, it is not allowed to kill casually.

The Jade Emperor must preside over the sacrifice, and only after the transformation of the creatures and sending them back to heaven can they be slaughtered in a centralized manner, saying that only in this way can the creatures die in vain.

Because the Jade Emperor has never ordered that the monkeys can be killed and eaten, these monkey heads have escaped, and now they have been given a way to live, working to earn food for themselves.

Nowadays, the animals in Kuyu City are divided into three types: ornamental, laborious and edible.

Needless to say, ornamental pandas and labor-type cows, horses, donkeys and mules, while bamboo rats and pigs are representative animals of the food type, and their main manifestations are to wake up after eating.

The remaining wild animals are still in the stage of breeding and expanding their populations, so there is no need to worry about life for the time being.

And the status of the golden snub-nosed monkey in this was originally very embarrassing, after all, in addition to a group of monkey heads can be placed in the zoo to have an occasional look, what can such a large group of people do?

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the scale of golden snub-nosed monkeys and ordinary macaques in Zhongnan Mountain was not small, and hundreds or thousands of large groups appeared at every turn.

Since the formation of fruit groves around Kuyu City, these gluttonous monkeys have been sent to the door in groups like moths to the fire.

There were so many of them, even Bai Yuqi, who had no intention of eating monkeys, thought that it was better to dispose of some to reduce the burden, after all, in order to prevent them from harming the fruits, they had to provide them with additional food.

Now, the soldiers of the Sixth East Palace, who were temporarily recruited by Bai Yuqi, only need to carry a cloth bag with a plug and go to the open space between a few fruit trees to insert it.

Then the disciples of the Royal Beast Gate would rush up with monkeys all over the mountain, pick the ripe fruits from the trees and throw them into the cloth pockets held under the trees to prevent them from rotting.

After sweeping away the ripe fruits of a fruit forest, with the beep of the bamboo whistle of the disciples of the Royal Beast Gate, the monkeys will sweep away like a tide, and rush to the next fruit forest to continue their work.

The soldiers of the six leading divisions who remained behind framed the fruits collected in their cloth pockets on the spot.

At this time, another group of disciples of the Royal Beast Sect will bring groups of four dislike and six dislike.

The full fruit baskets are transported away and sent back to the Dingyi Gate in Kuyu City for the next step of sorting, cleaning and processing.

Speaking of these four dissimilarities and six dissimilarities unique to the Qinling Mountains, they also belong to the embarrassing existence between the labor type and the food type.

The four dissimilarities are also called "bright mane sheep, mountain donkey" or "rock donkey", that is, the "serow" of later generations, because the horns are like a deer but not a deer, the hooves are like a cow but not a cow, the head is like a sheep and not a sheep, and the tail is like a donkey but not a donkey, so it is called "four dislikes" by the mountain people.

This thing walks between the mountains and mountains, can run on the mountain wall like flying, and is the size of a donkey, but because of its wild nature, it cannot be used for work.

And the six are also called "Golden Retriever", which is what later generations called "takin" or "golden horned antelope".

Its back is like a bear, its legs are like a horse, its face is like a deer, its tail is like a sheep, its horns are like a buffalo, and its hind legs are like a dog.

This creature larger than an ox has a violent temper and infinite power, but it is also untamable because of its wild nature, and since it cannot work, what is it for?

So after the Jade Emperor gave instructions to the disciples of the Royal Beast Sect to domesticate these wild animals.

Under the painstaking "persuasion" of the disciples of the Royal Beast Gate with [Animal Conversation Technique], they can only obey the orders of humans from their hearts in order not to be eaten, and help transport heavy objects to prove the value of their existence, which is greater than directly killing and eating meat.

With these big animals that can walk like flying in the mountains and forests, the big animals that were originally a little nervous in Kuyu City have been relieved.

A large number of mountain fruits were quickly transported back to Kuyu City, and in addition to selecting some good ones for the residents of the city to eat, the rest were all sent to the liquor workshop affiliated to the Ding Ling Gate, ready to be used to make wine.

It is not only grapes that can be used to make wine, as long as the fruit contains a certain amount of sugar, it can be used to make wine, but the quality of the wine is different.

So as early as after collecting those wild fruit trees, Bai Yuqi had already begun to ponder that these sour and astringent wild fruits that even the mountain people don't like to eat very much, that is, occasionally eat a few to change the taste, and become another economic product of Kuyu City.

He asked people to pick some fruits that ripened in advance, and specially brewed a batch of fruit wine on a small scale according to the recipe of koji searched by the system, according to different types of wild fruits and different recipes.

It really made him research a batch of fruit wines with different flavors, which tasted and tasted good.

Like peach wine, apricot wine, plum wine, pear wine, cherry wine, kiwi wine, etc., the alcohol content is different, the taste is sweet and sour, mild and light, and the drink is fruity.

Among them, Bai Yuqi was most satisfied with the Baiguo wine, which was mixed with various wild fruits, because the alcohol content reached after brewing was the highest, which was closest to the taste of the liquor he had drunk in later generations.

The high alcohol content can be achieved because Bai Yuqi added chestnuts, a dried fruit with high starch content.

After all, different fruits have different moisture content and sugar content, and the saccharification reaction during brewing is naturally different.

The effect of adding chestnuts is actually the same as that of coarse grains such as corn and potatoes in later generations.

The taste of this batch of fruit wine can definitely be further improved.

However, after Bai Yuqi solved the problem of "unsalable wild fruits", he was not interested in continuing to study.

He still has a lot of things to do, how can he study winemaking in the cellar?

Therefore, after figuring out the basic brewing process, I passed on the koji and various sake brewing techniques and recipes to the apprentices of the ryoji workshop, so that they could study and improve it on their own.

Speaking of winemaking, Bai Yuqi also had several episodes in the process of research.

When he was researching koji, he thought that the fermentation and maturation of koji was too slow, so the system recommended a [fermentation technique] to him.

Then, when he used [fermentation] to catalyze the fermentation time of koji, he accidentally caused many failures.

After summarizing the experience, I found that the effect of [fermentation] and the ratio of the recipe conflicted, and the yeast multiplied too slowly, causing the entire batch of koji to spoil.
