Chapter 511: In the Cave
readx;
In this cave, there are dozens of monkey grasses, which are planted in various places, and Qiubai did not pick them first, but went to the depths of the cave, where the white-haired old monkeys lived, and at the same time the place where sake was made. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking in here, the smell of monkey scratching is almost gone, because it is washed away by the smell of wine in the cave, Qiubai smells it, it is a very light but very fragrant wine smell, as for the smell of medicine, it is almost impossible to smell.
This place is relatively large, in the corner of the hole is the nest of the white-haired monkey, the ground is paved with branches, the branches are the fur of animals, and there is thick soft grass, this nest is also quite clean, there are several bamboo tubes neatly placed on the edge of the nest, the length is different, if it is not for Qiubai to know that this is the nest of the white-haired monkey, maybe it will think that it is a certain wild man, and it is a wild man who loves to be clean.
A spring flows out of the bottom of the cave, through a small ditch, and then flows to the other side, the spring suddenly steames, this is a hot spring, the temperature here is also quite high, at least 30 degrees, but it is very strange that there is not much fog, this is because the temperature of the cave and the water flow is not much different, so the fog can not be formed.
On one side of the ditch, there is a pit, about one meter long and one meter five wide, and half a meter deep, this pit is the pit for winemaking, but at this time it is full of water.
"Every time after brewing, the old monkey has to wash this wine pit, and he has to wash it several times." Peachtree said in Qiubai's mind.
"I really love cleanliness, I can't believe it's where a few monkeys live, by the way, where do the other four monkeys live?"
"There's a hole over there, and the other four monkeys live over there."
Qiubai walked out of this hole again, there was really a hole over there, Qiubai walked in and immediately covered his nose, the monkey scratching smell here was incredible, and Qiubai was about to vomit, and hurriedly glanced at it, it was chaotic here, and there were a few animal bones scattered on the ground, Qiubai hurriedly retreated, walked over there, and then felt a little better.
"These two holes are two different worlds." Qiubai sighed, and then felt that he was too demanding, there is only one wine monkey, and the wine monkey loves to be clean does not mean that other monkeys also love to be clean, Qiubai is too natural.
Walking to the edge of the wine monkey's nest, Qiubai squatted down and looked at it, not to mention, this nest is really exquisitely designed, the bottom is the branches, dry branches, the moisture in the ground is separated, and then the top is the animal skin, Qiubai can't see what kind of animal skin, the outside of the animal skin rushes down, it is also used to isolate moisture, several animal skins, and the animal skin is dry velvet grass, quite thick, sleeping on it must be extremely warm.
"This old monkey is very good at enjoying it." Qiubai said with a smile.
"That dry branch has to be changed every three or four days." Peachtree said.
"What about this animal skin, can it be changed or not?"
"No, but sometimes when the sun shines, it takes it out to dry."
Qiu Bai pouted: "This guy is so smart? ”
"Well, look at those bamboo tubes, they were all made by other monkeys, this is what it uses to hold monkey wine, you see if there is anything in it."
"Then why is it different in length?"
"Some monkeys drink less, some drink more, and that's it."
"Monkey wine from it to other monkeys?"
"Well, yes."
This wine monkey is really unexpectedly smart, the reason why he can't understand human speech, it is estimated that it is because he has not been in contact with humans before, you must know that even if he is a human, but if he has not been in human society since he was a child, he will not be able to speak when he grows up, and many wolf children are like this.
Walking to those bamboo tubes, Qiubai looked at them, and felt that these bamboo tubes were very interesting, Wushan has many bamboos, and there are also those over there in the Three Gorges, these bamboo tubes are all bamboos, and the mouth of the tube is still very neat, and I don't know what tools they use to make this tube mouth so neat, Qiubai looked at it, but suddenly found that a bamboo tube on the side was still stuffed with a wooden stopper.
Qiu Bai was first a flurry, and then overjoyed, carefully stretched out his hand, and when he got the bamboo tube, he felt the heaviness inside, Qiu Bai's mouth suddenly grinned, it should be monkey wine, he didn't have hope, but there was a surprise.
"This, peachtree, can the stopper be opened now?" Qiubai touched the plug and just wanted to open it, but stopped again.
"Yes, it's okay, open it." Peachtree encouraged.
Qiubai took a breath and opened the wooden cork with a very pious mentality, and with a soft sound, the wooden cork opened.
A fresh fragrance floated out of the bamboo tube, this smell is very similar to the smell of wine in this hole, the taste is very light, but there is a kind of remoteness, and condensation does not disperse, straight into Qiubai's nose, Qiubai smelled this smell, there is actually a feeling of getting drunk before drinking.
"It's strange, it smells faint, but why does it feel so strong?" Qiubai was surprised, and in the end he could only bear the monkey wine, which was really magical, just smelling the smell was amazing, anyway, Qiubai wanted to take a big sip now.
Taking out his mobile phone, Qiu Bai used the light of the mobile phone to shine a light on the wine in the bamboo tube, the color of the wine is yellow, and a fine golden luster flashes between the shaking, Qiu Bai put his eyes closer, and found that the wine is actually very viscous, it doesn't look like wine, but like amber.
Qiu Bai's heart moved, and the bamboo tube was slowly tilted, and sure enough, the monkey wine flowed towards the mouth of the tube at a slow degree, which was indeed quite unusual.
"Why don't you try?" Qiu Baixin was about to move: "Peach tree, this wine hasn't been drunk by monkeys, right?" ”
"Probably not." The peach tree is not sure, although it has a divine mind, it is impossible to pay attention to these details.
"Forget it, whatever, try it first." Autumn liquor addiction is up, no matter what three seven twenty-one at the moment, drink it first and then say it, but the drinking method is exquisite, Qiu Bai naturally will not use his mouth to take a sip of the bamboo tube, after all, there is too little monkey wine, Qiu Bai put his fingers into the bamboo tube and dipped a little, and his fingers were a little blocked when he was stained with wine, and it was really quite sticky.
Putting his finger in his mouth and licking it, Qiubai suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then the thought of nothing more than that rose in his heart.
Is monkey wine good? From Qiubai's point of view, monkey wine is really delicious, fruity, medicinal and alcoholic, on the whole it is still sweet, but the wine taste is very light, on the contrary, the fruity and medicinal flavor is more prominent, Qiubai only tasted it and felt that monkey wine should be suitable for the elderly or girls to drink, if men come to drink, it will not be enough taste.
Smacking his mouth, Qiubai said: "This wine is not very good, it looks so amazing in appearance, why is the taste so light?" ”
Peach Tree was silent before saying, "From your human point of view, this kind of wine should be a kind of health bar, that is, fruit wine, it must be lighter." ”
After being reminded by the peach tree, Qiubai suddenly realized, it seems that the situation should be like this.
The wine made by the old monkey is specially for himself to drink, and the materials used are the fruits of the forest and various medicinal materials, so it will definitely not be as spicy as the second pot head of the burning knife, otherwise the old monkey may have to hang up when he drinks it, only this kind of wine is the most suitable for monkeys, after all, the monkeys themselves eat fruits.
Thinking about this, Qiubai still feels regretful, after all, the reputation of monkey wine is too great, and the legend is so popular, Qiubai's expectations are infinitely raised, thinking that monkey wine is a god wine, and when he tastes it, his heart is broken.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have tasted it." Qiubai smiled bitterly, if you don't taste it, you can still maintain a wonderful fantasy, but after tasting it, the illusion is gone, and the taste and color of monkey wine are too different.
Stretched out his finger again and licked it again, it was still light, Qiubai shook his head and stuffed the cork again, he didn't like to drink sweet wine very much, but Ning Ning and Orange Orange should like it, Qiubai was going to take it back to them to drink, how to say that it was also monkey wine, this fame alone had to frighten many people.
"Boss Lin? What are you still doing in there? Did something happen? Guo Lizhen's voice sounded outside.
Although Guo Lizhen now thinks that Qiubai is very shameless, Qiubai has been in the cave for a long time, and Guo Lizhen has to worry that if something happens to Qiubai, Guo Lizhen will also have to bear joint and several responsibility, and maybe the black-eyed Xiaobai can tear her up.
"No, I'll get out right away." Qiu Bai shouted towards the entrance of the cave, and his voice echoed in the cave, buzzing.
"Then you should come out quickly."
"Hmm."
Qiubai put the bamboo tube into the basket, but did not go out immediately, but walked to the other side, this is the place where the wine monkey makes wine, and there are medicinal herbs there, although he is a little disappointed with the monkey wine, but Qiubai will not forget this kind of thing.
After walking a short distance, Qiubai turned into a hole, and his eyes suddenly lit up, only there was a fist-sized hole on the top of the cave, and the sunlight shone down from the hole, reflecting the hole quite clearly.
And on the ground in the cave, a layer of black soil is paved, the black soil is quite wet, it must be watered often, more than a dozen plants are planted on the black soil, and the first thing Qiubai sees is a codonopsis.
Because of the ginseng baby, so Qiubai also looked at the information of the codonopsis, although he didn't dare to say that he knew very well, but at least he wouldn't look away, the codonopsis in front of him still had leaves, which were planted to a corner of the hole, but it didn't look big, that is, about five or six years.
"These medicinal materials are all found by the old monkey for other monkeys, the one at your feet is Huangjing, the one next to Huangjing is Astragalus, and over there is Polygonum multiflori..."
If a doctor who is quite proficient in medical skills comes to see it, he will definitely despise it, because some of these medicinal materials can't actually be planted together, medicinal materials are the same as flowers and plants, some medicinal materials like yin, some medicinal materials like yang, some have a lot of sunlight, and some only need half irradiation, if flowers and plants are not planted according to their habits, flowers and plants will not grow so well in the end, and some will not even bloom, in the same way, if the herbs are not planted according to their surnames, the effect will be greatly reduced. Although the medicinal power of wild herbs is higher than that of artificial cultivation, if it is planted incorrectly, it may not be as good as artificial cultivation.
Peach tree doesn't know these situations, Qiubai doesn't know, wine monkey shouldn't know, it probably just got these herbs back, and then planted them so indiscriminately, and finally planted them, this is really a miracle, anyway, when Qiubai saw these herbs, his heart rose with admiration, and he felt that this old monkey did have a place where the cow compared, and it was quite good for a monkey to do this, and many people couldn't compare with it.
Qiubai suddenly pointed to the plant in the sunlight, "What is this?" (To be continued.) )
