Chapter 415: I'm Going to Marry You! 2/2
The Japanese tribe camp needs the weapons and equipment of the dragon tribe, and other tribes that have been in contact with the dragon tribe need the weapons and equipment of the dragon tribe, but except for the heavy hunting tribe like the leopard tribe, other tribes that do not fight abroad cannot exchange for many weapons and equipment at all, and it is a lot to be able to exchange ten copper weapons at a time.
The Aoki tribe also needs more weapons and equipment, and last year launched three successive foreign wars, and the Aoki tribe deeply understands the importance of good weapons.
In the three foreign wars, the Aoki tribe lost a lot of people, but fortunately, most of the losses were women, and women were just vassals of men.
However, the loss of the male tribe still made the leader of Aoki a little distressed, this year the Aoki tribe is only going to carry out one foreign conquest, and the target is a tribe with a population of about 1,000 people who are nearly three days away from the south of the Aoki tribe.
Next year, the year after that, when there are more adult male clansmen in the Aoki tribe, the Aoki tribe will launch a few more foreign wars, and after each war, the Aoki tribe will become more powerful.
The successive victories in several foreign wars made the leader of Aoki high-spirited, and many clansmen said that the leader was the most outstanding of the previous leaders of the Aoki tribe, and the Aoki tribe would be more powerful under the leadership of the leader, stronger than the dragon tribe.
……
Dragon Horde
Since the beginning of spring, Su Yan has organized a group of clansmen to be busy with an important matter - winemaking.
There is a lot of preparation before making sake brewing, such as building a sake cellar, digging a cellar pond, and making various equipment for sake brewing, especially distillation equipment.
The spring planting period was interrupted and took a total of two months, and after the two trading fleets had sent the guests away, the preparations for the sake brewing were completed, during which time the work of building the cellar, digging the cellar ponds, and making the various equipment used for sake brewing, as well as the preparation of the malt koji.
Crush the wheat grains, crack the wheat skin, expose the starch, make the mold easy to grow, add some water to the cereal, mix well, and then the broken wheat is pinched into blocks, sent to the damp house for placement, close the doors and windows to keep warm and cultivate, after three to five days, the temperature of the wheat koji increases, and the mold mycelium on the koji blocks multiplies in large quantities.
At this time, the cooling work should be done, the window should be opened for ventilation, continue to cultivate, the temperature gradually decreases, after about 20 days, the wheat malt becomes tough into a block, it is stacked in a tic-tac-toe shape, and it is used after ventilation and drying.
As for the main raw material for winemaking, it is the most cultivated crop of the dragon tribe - millet.
With corn and barley koji, the final product is the famous rice wine.
Rice wine is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world, originated in China, and only China has, and beer, wine and called the world's three ancient wines, about 3,000 years ago, in the Shang and Zhou era, the Chinese original koji compound fermentation method, began to brew a large number of rice wine.
Rice wine is made of rice, millet and millet as raw materials, and the alcohol content is generally 14 to 20 percent, which is a low-alcohol brewed liquor.
Rice wine is rich in nutrients, containing 21 amino acids, including several unknown amino acids, and the human body cannot synthesize it by itself, and must rely on food to ingest eight essential amino acids, so it is known as "liquid cake".
The process of sake brewing looks very simple: the grain is mixed into the koji, after steaming, the half-cooked grain is removed from the pot and spread on the ground, the pre-fermentation is carried out, and finally the raw materials are post-fermented in the cellar.
The process is simple, but there is also uncertainty in the process, after all, it is the first time to make wine, who knows what will be brewed, and a simple brewing cycle takes more than a month, until the eve of the return of the first trade fleet, the stumbling first brewing is over.
Filtering the brewed wine, just smelling the smell of this liquid, Su Yan understood that this liquid had nothing to do with wine, and the first brewing failed.
If you fail, you will fail, Su Yan is mentally prepared, it doesn't matter if you fail once, even if it takes several years to make qualified wine, Su Yan will not be angry, after all, Su Yan has not been in contact with the winemaking industry in his previous life, and the only winemaking knowledge he has seen is from books, and with this knowledge, he started the winemaking road of the Dragon Tribe.
The first sake brewing failed, and the second sake brewing began immediately after, and the first sake brewing alone could not find the problem, and the more experiments you conducted, the more likely you could find the right direction.
The day after the start of the second winemaking, the first trading fleet returned.
In order to be able to make a good impression on Su Yan, before getting off the boat, Coriander dressed up with the help of Yang Li and changed into the sky blue dress she carried with her.
Far away from the Yan tribe, Coriander was just carrying a small burden, which contained two pieces of clothes that the two sisters of Meihua and Eyue had given to Coriander before, as well as a special stone piece.
The stone shards are only slightly larger than the palms of coriander's hands, and the stone shards are outlined with a black pattern, which is almost exactly the same as the totem of the Yan tribe.
It turned out that this stone piece was begged by the leader of Yan to take it from Wu, so that the coriander could be brought with him, even if he was far away from the Yan tribe, the god would still bless the coriander.
Days and nights away from the Yan tribe, coriander often holds the stone chips, recalling the past when she was in the Yan tribe, and coriander will never forget her home.
Coriander followed behind the small group that went to Su Yan's house, walking step by step.
The second time she came to Source City, Cilantro had a feeling in her heart that was completely different from the first Source City.
The first time she came to Source City, Coriander was a guest, Coriander was very curious about everything in Source City, although Source City was good, it was not her home, and Coriander couldn't bring the good things of Source City back to the Yan tribe.
Now that she has come to Source City for the second time, Cilantro wants to treat Source City as her second home, which is naturally different from the first time.
When the group came to Su Yan's house, Su Yan walked out of the house and saw the coriander in the back row of the team with a somewhat panicked look.
Su Yan skipped the coriander for the time being, everyone stood at the gate, and Su Yan listened to Lu Yuan's brief report on the first trade fleet's trip, mainly to contact the new nomadic tribes for trade.
"I know, Yuan, you go back and rest first."
Lu Yuan took everyone from the Ministry of Commerce to retire, leaving Coriander alone, before leaving, Yang Li patted Coriander on the shoulder, as if to comfort and cheer.
Su Yan looked at Coriander, whose body was trembling slightly, and kept her head down, but she didn't know what to do.
Coriander felt Su Yan's gaze.
"Coriander, you can do it, you've already come here, you can't give up." Coriander secretly cheered herself up in her heart.
After a little silence for more than a dozen breaths, Coriander forced herself to calm down her slightly trembling body, raised her head, and looked at Su Yan with a firm gaze.
"I like you! I'm going to marry you! ”
