Chapter 455: Spirit Winemaker
At this time, Lin Yi no longer had the contempt he had before.
For this secret art in his hand, he simply can't put it down, for fear that others will snatch it.
With this "Secret Art of Winemaking", wouldn't he be the successor of the future Bacchus?
Hey!
Refreshing!
It's so cool!
"In Nebula City, there seem to be only two first-class spirit winemakers"
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but be secretly amused.
A spirit wine master, at most a taste of spirit wine.
If you become a second-grade winemaker, wouldn't you want to be famous?
And the most important point, it is said that Ling Jiuyan, the city lord of Nebula City, can be described as a drunkard!
In terms of wine tasting, he is quite accomplished.
In his cellar there were no less than a hundred jars of wine.
"During the opening of the Blue Leaf Chamber of Commerce, if you can invite Ling Jiuyan here, will other celebrities and nobles not come to cheer?"
In this way, there is no need to worry about the lack of sales of membership cards.
In Lin Yi's mind, the rough prototype of a plan has appeared.
In addition to his own special elixir, this spirit wine will also be a big gimmick!
Prior to this, Lin Yi would refine a batch of second-grade high-grade pills specially made from compressed vitality every day.
All the materials required for refining are picked in the herb garden.
According to the refining speed of one hundred pills per day, Lin Yi had already refined and stored no less than two thousand pills in stock so far.
"To make spiritual wine, you also need a lot of medicinal materials. ”
Lin Yi turned the first page and carefully looked at the ingredients needed for brewing.
It is found that there are certain similarities between winemaking and alchemy.
It is necessary to use natural materials and earth treasures to improve the grade of the brewed goods.
According to the grade of spirit wine, generally speaking, it is divided into seven grades.
Of course, this is just a living statement.
Above the seven grades, there are higher-level existences.
However, this state is really difficult to achieve, so it is omitted.
But in this secret book, there is a detailed record.
Spirit wine grades, divided by color.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple.
There are seven colors in total, arranged from lowest to highest.
On top of that, there are higher grades of black, as well as white.
White is the highest grade, and Du Kang, the god of wine, made this color of aged puree.
After that, no one can make it.
In the tens of thousands of years since, there is only one person who has made purple spirit wine.
Later, if you want to make yellow spirit wine, you only have a few water chestnuts.
In Lin Yi's hometown of Longquan Town, a jar of the lowest grade red spirit wine was stored by Lin Ruhu as a treasure.
Because in Longquan Town, there are only two forces that have spirit wine.
One is the Lin family, and the other is Qiu Shaoxiong.
And the number of them is only a few jars.
After drinking it, there was no more.
If you want to buy spirit wine, you have to go to Nebula City and find those two spirit wine masters to make it.
But the price of asking them to do it is not something that the small families of the plane below can afford.
These two are both Ling Jiuyan's royal spirit wine masters.
In addition, even the three major families can't afford this high cost.
The preciousness of spirit wine is not as good as that of elixir.
This can be seen from the manufacturing time.
The time it takes to refine the pill, an ordinary alchemist, is about a day, that is, twelve hours.
But the Sommelier is different!
If you want to make spiritual sake, you must ferment it!
This process depends on the person.
It is a well-known fact that the longer the wine is sold, the more mellow the aroma of the wine.
From the beginning of the brewing process to the final success, this process also takes at least 20 days to complete.
And, in the process, it is also related to a series of conditions such as weather.
If the weather is mild, the spirit wine produced that year will be greatly improved in terms of taste and spiritual effect.
Of course, if it is brewed for a long time, it will be rainy and rainy, and the quality of the spirit wine will be greatly reduced.
The most important thing is that during the fermentation process, the spirit wine deteriorates.
Even the most experienced spirit wine master can't guarantee that the success rate of the spirit wine he brews can reach 100%.
The success rate of the average first-tasting winemaker is about 20%.
"At this time, there are less than three days left before the opening of the Blue Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and even if the brewing starts now, the shortest time to become a wine will take one or twenty days, which is obviously not enough. ”
"No matter, let's try first. ”
As soon as Lin Yi's consciousness was swept away, he recorded the entire "Secret Art of Brewing" in his mind, and then put it in the Sumeru ring.
The first step is to prepare the brewing materials.
I have to say that this is very similar to alchemy.
Only good materials can make good spirit wine.
And compared to the elixir, spirit wine is obviously more popular.
Same effect, easier to absorb.
And in terms of texture and taste, Lingjiu is clearly superior.
This was also the reason why Ling Jiuyan had a soft spot for spirit wine.
According to the subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Jiuyan generally did not take pills, but used spirit wine to achieve the effect.
This alone accounts for more than 70 percent of the annual expenses of the City Lord's Mansion!
"Ganoderma lucidum flower, white green fruit, dragon flame fruit"
Lin Yi picked all the medicinal materials he needed, calcined them into essence, and put them into a closed container.
Different from alchemy, alchemy generally chooses a bronze refined iron furnace as a container.
For the brewing of spirit wine, iron containers can destroy the taste of spirit wine, so ceramic containers are generally used as storage containers for spirit wine.
Lin Yi randomly found a ceramic round altar and injected the essence of medicinal herbs into it.
This ceramic altar used to be used by Wang Baicao to pickle pickles, and its appearance is full of dirt and dirt.
Because it was the first time to practice, Lin Yi didn't care so much, anyway, according to the requirements in "The Secret Art of Winemaking", put all the things he needed into the round altar.
If outsiders see that brewing spirit wine is such a child's play, I am afraid that someone will pierce the backbone!
It's a tyrannical thing!
The most critical step in making spirit wine is this fermentation process.
If something goes wrong, all the hard work you've done is undone.
And the key to winemaking is also here.
Brewers need to inject their own vitality into it, and then completely seal it off and wait for the brewing to succeed.
This source of vitality, in a closed container, will continue to volatilize and dissolve, gradually fuse with the essence of medicinal herbs, and finally form a spirit wine.
It can be said that the quality of brewing spirit wine depends on the purity of the vitality essence of the brewer himself.
"The purity of my Yuan Qi essence is far beyond that of a martial artist of the same level!"
"And this time to condense the Purple Mansion, mine is twice as many as ordinary people!"
"In this way, my Yuan Qi Origin is several times stronger than ordinary people!"
"The profession of spirit wine master is simply tailor-made for me!"
