The drinks used to drink on the continent of Iber are nothing more than water, wine, and milk. Needless to say, water is a necessity for life, whether it is at home or traveling. As for wine, it is a drink used by most human beings on the continent to entertain and relax, ordinary beer made from fermented wheat grains is mostly liked by commoners and martial warriors, and high-end wine or fruit wine is a luxury for nobles to meet and entertain guests or enjoy alone. As for milk, it is a favorite drink of female nobles and mage-type warriors, and it is also a relatively high-end nutritional product.

But for Li Xiang and Yang Qianyu, the wine on the Iber continent is simply difficult to swallow. Because the brewing process in this world is not very good.

The beer in the world of Yber is not the same as the traditional 'beer' on the earth, but is more like Chinese rice wine, and even the brewing method is similar to rice wine, except that the raw materials are barley and oats, instead of the rice commonly used in Chinese rice wine. Strictly speaking, the 'beer' of the Yber world is synonymous with a grain liquor. Any fermented liquor that is brewed from grains rather than fruits (grapes, apples, pears, peaches, etc.) and has not been distilled, whether foamed or not, is called beer. This beer (also known as 'ale') has a low alcohol content and a poor taste. Yang Qianyu tasted the beer sold in Prailly's tavern, and the final comment was that it was ugly, bitter and astringent, like the smell of horse urine written in ancient novels. Except for some companions who are addicted to alcohol and do not shy away from taste, almost no one wants to drink this kind of wine.

Even the more high-end wines or fruit wines in the Iber world are not up to par with most of the winemaking and storage techniques. There is often a lot of grape pulp residue left in the wine, and it is easy to choke on the residual pulp residue if you do not sift it beforehand. And the fragrance is not so enticing. Except for a small amount of liquor made by some master winemakers, because of the exquisite brewing process, there are very few impurities, and the storage is appropriate, so it will not deteriorate and can be stored for a long time. Most of the rest of the new wines and fruit wines will turn sour and spoil within two or three years of brewing, and will eventually have to be filtered for vinegar - by the way, the flavored vinegar used by humans in the world of Yber is also made from grapes and other fruits.

It is conceivable that such a terrible drink can attract everyone to drink? Therefore, everyone's drinking supplies on weekdays are water and fresh milk, and at most add some honey or sugar cubes to taste.

Occasionally, a small number of adventurers will find some plants with effects similar to the 'tea' on the earth in other regions of the continent outside the human territory, but these 'teas' of the Iber world are very primitive and rough in their frying methods, so the taste of the brewed tea is naturally very poor, and they must add sugar, honey, milk and other condiments to be drinkable. It is precisely because of this that although this 'tea' has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the spirit, except for a few ascetic mage-type warriors, few people will drink it. And the people who are used to drinking the Chinese tea before the crossing naturally have no interest in tasting this bitter drink.

"Do you want to make sake to sell to the outside world?" Fu Bin took the sales plan written by Yang Qianyu and looked at it, and whispered to himself. "Well, it's a relatively lucrative industry. It's just that even if the lords on the continent need wine, they are generally self-sufficient. Even if we supply alcohol to various towns, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to get our products into these well-established sales networks, right? ”

"Ordinary wine is naturally very difficult." Yang Qianyu said lightly. "But what if it's a new variety of liquor?"

“？” The three people in the room looked at Yang Qianyu.

Yang Qianyu smiled slightly, took out two delicate glass bottles filled with liquid from his storage space, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of everyone.

"Is this wine or beer? No, the colors aren't quite right. Li Xiang raised his eyes and looked at it, and he was a little puzzled for a while.

The liquid contained in the two bottles does not have any impurities, the color is crystal clear and golden like amber, and if you look closely, you can find that although the two bottles of liquid are both golden, the color is still slightly different, obviously two different liquids. The light shines through the bottle and is reflected on the tabletop, giving it a faint sense of brilliance.

Fu Bin gently held the glass bottle in his hand, turned it over and looked at it carefully. There is no doubt that these two bottles are wine bottles. Although such a transparent and immaculate glass bottle was not cheap for the commoners, it was also common for the aristocracy. Glass is not uncommon in the Iber continent, this product is a kind of accessory product produced by the alchemists on the Iber continent when refining the precious metal, and later because of the beautiful shape, it was mostly used by aristocratic families to make utensils containing items, among which wine glasses and bottles are the mainstay, followed by decorating windows. The common class, on the other hand, rarely used glass because it was so easy to break, and it was clear that the alchemists of this world had not yet developed tempered glass. However, the bottle was not filled with any liquor in the world of Iber he had ever seen, but rather a bit like diluted honey. But this speculation only flashed in Fu Bin's mind for a moment and disappeared immediately, because if this was really diluted honey water, then Yang Qianyu would not take it out of trouble to exhibit.

Yang Qianyu would not make such jokes when discussing serious matters.

Fu Bin unscrewed the sealed cork at the mouth of the bottle with a little force, and immediately a rich and unique aroma of wine wafted out. The scattered fragrance made Fu Bin feel refreshed, the fragrance was very strong, even Li Xiang and Sun Xiaoyu, who were a little far away, could smell the aroma of the wine. Not only that, but there seems to be an indescribable wonderful taste in the aroma of this wine, some like the fragrance of trees, and some like the fragrance of flowers and plants, which are clearly layered, but almost perfectly blended together.

"Good wine" Even Sun Xiaoyu, who doesn't drink much, can't help but admit that this wine must be of the highest grade just by this fragrance.

And Li Xiang got up and took two upside-down tin cups from the shelves where the wine utensils were placed in the room, poured half a glass of amber wine in each of the two bottles, and then gently shook the cup to observe the feet of the wine on the wall of the glass, only to see that the lines of the wine slowly sliding down were like beautiful women dancing.

Then Li Xiang brought the cup close to the tip of his nose and intoxicated himself to enjoy the complex aroma rising from the cup, and then raised his head to take a sip, letting the golden liquid slide between his tongue and let it spread and swirl in his mouth.

"This is the ......" Before the crossing, Li Xiang also drank some wine, although he was not good at distinguishing the specific liquor brand, but the general name could still be called. So after tasting the liquor that Yang Qianyu took out, his eyes immediately widened. "Brandy?!"

"That's right." Yang Qianyu smiled and gave a thumbs up to compare himself. "It's something I'm trying to brew in my spare time – and I've wanted to try it myself. I imitated the brandy of the earth, using grapes as the main ingredient, adding a variety of other fruits, and after several fermentation and distillation experiments, I finally blended the appropriate recipe to make the current liquor. The other bottle contains a new wine that I have made by purifying the beer fermented from the wheat grains......"

"Whiskey?" As soon as Fu Bin heard Yang Qianyu's description, he immediately called out the name of another bottle of wine.
