Higg and Benjamin followed Blue Fairy to the other end of the valley, which was a sunny mountain, and the huge mountain in front of the valley was full of all kinds of fruit trees, at least a dozen square kilometers of fruit groves, which were full of mountain fruits that were about to ripen.

"It's just a fruit forest, there are many in the forest, but this fruit forest is very big! What kind of treasure is it? Benjamin asked, puzzled.

Lan Xian'er smiled, didn't answer, and led the two of them towards the bottom of the valley along a small ditch in the fruit forest. Although the slope of this hill is facing the sun, the ground is shady because of the dense fruit trees. Along the way, the ground was full of traces of rotting fruits, and the slippery land was blackened by the rotting and corroded fruits, but it gave off an intoxicating fruit fragrance, which was very strange.

There are countless small ditches on the hillside, and the small ditches are all black liquid, and it flows slowly down the hill, making people feel sick and sick to their stomachs.

When we reached the bottom of the valley, the black slime flowing from many small ditches gathered into a huge pool, where the viscous brown liquid was even darker and shiny, like a huge manure tank that had not been cleaned for a long time.

Lan Xian'er excitedly dipped her fingers in those disgusting liquids, then put them on the side of her nose and sniffed them, and then even licked them with her tongue, laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is the forest treasure I found!" ”

The two big men looked at Lan Xian'er strangely, this fairy-like woman, she actually picked up these feces-like things and tried them herself, she even felt disgusting and uncomfortable when she looked at them, and she was about to vomit!

"What the hell is this?" Higg asked curiously.

"Your military spending! I'll tell you later! Lan Xian'er smiled weirdly, "Find someone to carry three cauldrons over immediately, be quick!" ”

Higg had no choice but to do what he ordered, but Blue Fairy herself was not idle, letting Benjamin and Higg build the stove while asking them to help make a special hollow barrel.

By the time the iron pot was moved, the stove was ready. Lan Xian'er unceremoniously cut off the bottom of one of the big iron pots with Higg's sword, and Xige felt distressed for a while, this was carried from the base camp with great difficulty, and she didn't even care about the pot for killing pigs and boiling water.

Lan Xian'er first installed the first complete large iron pot on the stove, then filled it with the disgusting black slime, then turned the large iron pot that had been flat-cut upside down on the first pot, then installed the characteristic hollow wooden barrel on the inverted cauldron, and finally placed another large iron pot on top of the barrel.

Higg and Benjamin didn't seem to be able to do anything to help, leaving the Blue Fairy to keep busy.

Lan Xian'er sealed all the joints of all the devices with yellow mud, then filled the pot with cold water at the top, and finally said to Higg in a sweaty voice: "Burn the fire!" ”

"You want to make wine?" Higg asked, surprised.

"You're not stupid, you can see it!" Lan Xian'er smiled.

"But this ingredient is too peculiar!" Higg was still confused.

Benjamin was watching this strange simple device, it was hard to imagine that such a device and such materials could make wine, but he felt that it was better to come here to watch this girl perform, it was better to watch the pig killing, but he came here, but he was curious about whether he could make wine, and what kind of wine could be made.

This is a simple distillation device, the bottom pot hits the raw materials for brewing, the wine gas in the boiling raw materials evaporates, and the iron pot filled with cold water at the top is pre-cooled, and the steam with the wine condenses into water and flows down the wall of the wooden barrel, while the special device of the hollow wooden barrel is that the steam can be used, but the liquid cannot flow back to the bottom pot, but flows out through the bamboo pipe inserted in the wooden barrel.

After more than half an hour, the water finally boiled, and then slowly flowed out of the bamboo pipe and into the jar.

The three of them couldn't wait to catch some with their bowls, and there was immediately a faint aroma of fruit and an intoxicating aroma of wine all around.

Sigg didn't care about the heat and tasted it himself, and Blue Fairy and Benjamin wanted to see how Higg reacted, but found that he was completely moving and not understanding the taste.

Benjamin looked at Higg's expressionless face strangely, took the bowl himself, took a small bite, and then handed the bowl to Blue Fairy.

"What a wine, incomparable!" Xige sighed for a long time, "This wine is simply the best in the world, I used to drink water!" No, I used to drink swill! ”

Benjamin also shouted: "The imperial wine of our Forest King's Palace does not have such a sweetness and fragrance, but it is too violent, what kind of wine is this?!" ”

Higg and Blue Fairy looked at Benjamin with disdain, making Benjamin wonder why, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, it's just too strong, you can get drunk if you drink a little!" ”

Lan Xian'er sneered and said: "This is the first wine that has just come out, of course, it is the strongest, and it will slowly fade later, until finally distilled out that there is no alcohol, only water, and the winemaker can master the distillation time according to his needs to achieve the problem of controlling the intensity of the wine." If you drink the wine that has just come out like this, no one can afford to drink it! ”

Benjamin smiled stupidly: "Hahaha, so that's it!" In that case, everything in this pool can be made into wine, but what exactly is in the pool? ”

Lan Xian'er smiled: "When Lei and I were walking around the neighborhood, we found at least five such pools, and it is estimated that there will be more if we don't find them, all of which are raw materials for making this kind of wine!" Hehe, don't dwarf slaves need wine to work? Several breweries can be built here! ”

"Think beautifully, this is a luxury, this kind of wine to feed those drunkards?" Higg said, "What the hell is going on with this pool? ”

Lan Xian'er smiled: "This is caused by this unique terrain and landform, the fruit forest area here is huge, and there are dozens of kinds of fruit trees, the fruits of each autumn are ripe and naturally fall to the ground, and the ground is full of them, there is a lack of insects and birds that consume this fruit, and the climate is relatively dry, these fruits are not moldy, but are naturally fermented." After fermentation, it gradually turns into a liquid, and after a long time, it turns black. Some of this fermented product seeped into the ground, and some of the ground flowed into a pond through various ways, and gathered here, and over the years, it has become a natural alcoholic fermentation tank, and if it is not developed and utilized, it is simply a tyrannical thing! ”

"Don't let anyone know this secret!" Higg smirked, "Especially the dwarves! It's a pity we don't have a winemaker, otherwise we would have made a fortune building a few breweries and selling them for five gold coins per liter! ”

"Five gold coins per liter!" Benjamin was surprised and said, "Is this a cannibal?" ”

Higg smiled: "Hmph, pure natural raw ingredients, pure natural fermentation process, this wine can only be produced by us, I dare to guarantee that if our wine flows to the black market, it will be hyped up to at least twenty gold coins per liter!" This is really a big treasure, much better than those pig killings! ”

"No need for a winemaker!" Lan Xian'er said: "These fruit wines are naturally fermented, and if they are deliberately adjusted by the winemaker, they will lose their original natural meaning. Each jar of wine is filled with one liter, so that each jar of wine has a different taste, so as to arouse everyone's interest to discuss, so as to help us hype, hehe! ”

"Wonderful!" Xige sighed, "Each jar of wine tastes different, and the artistic conception is also different, this wine is called Baixian Fruit Wine, haha!" How about it, uncle, do you want to order a batch of palaces in your forest country? ”

Lan Xian'er preemptively said: "Of course, the palace should send a batch, and a batch should be exiled as a reward among the dwarves, and some should be appropriately placed on the black market!" ”

"And what money do we make?" Higg said angrily.

Lan Xian'er smiled: "Put a small amount of some to whet people's appetite, this is called hunger marketing, so that everyone will always be in the craving for Baixian fruit wine." Otherwise, if you set up a counter, each jar of wine is five gold coins, how many people know about our Baixian fruit wine? ”

"Forget it, I can't do the business of making wine and selling wine!" Higg laughed, "Can you do this?" I fully support it! ”

Lan Xian'er smiled: "Although this wine tastes good, I haven't seen it yet, I only helped build the winery and build momentum in the early stage, and I can't do anything else!" ”

"Hey, you two demons, you've been talking for a long time, and it seems that nothing has happened to me?" Benjamin hurriedly said: "Those who see it have a share, and I will at least have a 30% stake!" ”

"Uncle, you are a prince, and you don't raise an army, what do you want money for?"

"If you don't raise it now, won't you raise it later?" Benjamin said.

"Dear uncle, this is a time of war, and all income is military expenses, if you don't participate in our war, don't want to share this fund!"

Benjamin said, "Didn't I promise you to work with you?" ”

"Then where is your army, just these three hundred elven guards?"

Benjamin said: "All my guard authority is five thousand, and I can't transfer them all, I can send out a maximum of two thousand elven archers, and I can provide more than a dozen dwarves from villages, along with female dwarves, to you, haha!" ”

Higg said, "Two thousand is two thousand, but it must be in place immediately, and then in this winter, your two thousand elven archers will train all my five thousand crossbowmen to be marksmen." In addition, in another month, we will seize the Lakason Plateau according to the plan, where a large number of soldiers will be recruited, and you will also help me train marksmen! As for the dwarves you mentioned, how about letting them come to the Silent Forest and build this place into a rear base on the Carlson Plateau, and also become your future rear for the crown prince's strength? ”

Benjamin said, "That's okay, I don't have the money to support these dwarves and the 2,000 troops that have been transferred from abroad!" ”

"And do you still want a stake in the distillery?"

"Later!"
