46. Party ingredients
Even Ding Hao, a guy who is more daring than a steamed bun, can't help but be frightened by his second hypothesis, the whole town, all of them are werewolves, and when they usually greet you with a smile, they are all thinking about how to kill you after becoming a werewolf at night, this picture is simply beautiful. But this assumption seems a little unreasonable if you think about it carefully, if all the people in the town were werewolves, then they would not have saved Ding Hao in the first place, let alone relieved Ding Hao of poisoning.
"What are you thinking? So fascinating. Just when Ding Hao was thinking about the relationship between the werewolf and the townspeople of Night Town, he suddenly felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw Althea's slightly angry face, "I've called you several times, can't you hear me?" ”
"I'm sorry, I guess I'm thinking too much about things." Looking at Althea, Ding Hao suddenly came up with an idea, maybe he could use Althea to test the attitude of Night Town towards werewolves. "Althea, I have a question for you."
"What?"
"It's about werewolves, what would you do if your neighbor or friend was a werewolf?" Ding Hao asked.
"Werewolves? Who do you say Uncle Frank, he ......" Althea is actually a very sensitive girl, and when she heard Ding Hao say this, she immediately thought of Frank in the infirmary.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean him." Regarding Althea's words, Ding Hao vetoed it vigorously. Although he extremely suspected that Frank was a werewolf, after all, he had not seen Frank turn from a human into a werewolf, and the injuries on his body were indeed doubtful, but what if Frank got it because of some accident? For example, I encountered a strange mutated creature like the Weeping Witch. The possibility is small, but it doesn't mean that there is none, so Ding Hao can't let others suspect each other because of his own suspicions. "I'm just wondering if werewolves turn into wolves, or if wolves become humans, if humans become wolves......"
"That's right." Listening to Ding Hao's words, Althea suddenly fell into deep thought, "If the werewolf is really turned into a human, I don't care what that person wants to do when he becomes a werewolf, as long as he is still our relatives and friends when he has not transformed, I think they should just be ...... after becoming a werewolf In spite of oneself! ”
"Okay." Looking at Althea's clear and bright big eyes, what else could Ding Hao say, "I think I understand what you mean." ”
Just as Ding Hao and Althea were chatting about werewolves, Ello suddenly left and said to Althea: "Daughter, there is something I want to ask you to help with. ”
"What's wrong, father?" Althea and Ding Hao both turned their heads to look at Errlo, who was still wearing a surgical gown.
"It's about the broken bridge, the workers have gone to repair the broken bridge, and to celebrate it, I'm going to have a bonfire." "On the night the broken bridge was repaired, let's all have a good time. But the town's stock of rum is running out of Frank brothers, and I need you to prepare some more, the more the better. ”
"Yes, father." Althea said, "Leave it to me." ”
"Need help?" Looking at Errlo's distant back, Ding Hao asked Althea.
"Of course, there are a lot of ingredients to make wine, and I can't do it alone, so it would be great if you could help me collect some materials." Althea looked at Ding Hao standing beside her, and a playful smile appeared on her face, "You'll help, right?" ”
Faced with this smile, how could Ding Hao refuse?
In fact, it is not difficult to make wine in Nighttown, as mentioned earlier in Nightshade Town, a special plant is planted to fuel the generator by squeezing the sap. This plant is called the wine tree, and if the bark is cut, a high concentration of alcohol will gurgle out. A tree harvests 6 litres of highly concentrated alcohol a day, which is both drinkable and used as fuel.
Rum is made by diluting this alcohol with water and adding various ingredients. Because alcohol is readily available, ingredients are the key to making a great rum.
Although there is ready-made alcohol, it still takes a few days for rum to taste better, so you need to start making it a few days earlier than other ingredients.
Althea was in charge of collecting alcohol, so the search for ingredients fell to Ding Hao.
"Personally, I prefer the blackberry flavor, which tastes sweet and sour." Althea smacked her lips, as if recalling the taste of blackberry wine, "Blackberries usually grow next to the roots of trees, which is very common, and you can find quite a few at a time. ”
"But blackberries are sour and astringent on their own, so you'll have to find some honey to temper the taste, and I remember there's a cave on the cliff to the west, and there should be some large honeycombs in it, so be sure not to sting the bees before collecting them."
"As for the other people's drinks, I think the snake blood wine should be a good choice. There is a black spotted snake in the forest, this snake is not venomous, and the wine made of the blood of the black spotted snake is spicy and irritating, and they should like it dad. It's easy to find the spotted snake when you're collecting blackberries, just catch the live snake and we'll take care of it here. ”
"Are you sure you want snake blood? I remember that the snake's blood was full of parasites. ”
"No problem, alcohol kills parasites, and parasite corpses can also be used to replenish protein." Althea said energetically.
"Uh...... It's good if you're happy. ”
After determining the materials to be collected, Ding Hao drove off in the Baji car, because blackberries and black spotted snakes were everywhere, so Ding Hao decided to get honey first. Driving along the forest path to the west, Ding Hao soon found the cave that Althea was talking about, and with an annoying buzzing sound, countless black bees the size of thumbs flew around in mid-air.
This mutant mountain bee is not only large, but also very poisonous, and after being stung, it will produce extremely strong allergic reactions, and even fatal.
Ding Hao first put on a gas mask and put on a protective suit, then took out the herbs prepared by Althea's vision from the car, lit them and threw them into the cave one by one.
The herb that Althea prepared for Ding Hao will emit an extremely spicy smoke when lit, and it will be very strong against the killing of mutant mountain bees.
After waiting outside the cave for a short time and making sure that all the bees in the cave had run away, Ding Hao entered the cave.
The cave is very spacious and very dry, and the huge fan-shaped honeycombs are fixed to the rock wall, shining golden in the light of a flashlight, which looks very attractive. These honeycombs are at least ten meters above the ground, and it is not easy to get honey.
Ding Hao thought about it, fixed the flashlight on his shoulder, and took out the compound bow and the climbing arrow with a spider silk rope from the interface space, the climbing arrow has barbs on the surface, since it can be nailed into the surface of the object, then the same thing can be dragged off the wall that is not too fixed.
Ding Hao put the climbing arrow on the arrow platform, and then aimed at the top of the largest honeycomb and pulled the bowstring.
Shout! This arrow accurately hit the honeycomb, and the arrow with barbs pierced deeply into the honeycomb, Ding Hao tried to drag it, but hell, it couldn't be pulled!
The beehive that Ding Hao chose has a diameter of 5 meters alone, and weighs at least two or three hundred kilograms.
But it doesn't matter, there's something much bigger than manpower.
Ding Hao came to the cave with the spider silk rope, fixed the rope on the rear bar of the off-road vehicle, and then started the off-road vehicle. First step on the brake, and then press the accelerator to the end, the tires rotating at high speed on both sides emitted white smoke, and then Ding Hao released the brake with his left foot, and the off-road vehicle flew out like an arrow from the string.
A perfect catapult start!
Less than 3 seconds after the off-road vehicle drove out, the whole car shook violently, and Ding Hao's head almost hit the steering wheel. After stopping the car, Ding Hao returned to the cave to find that the giant honeycomb on the rock wall had been dragged down and shattered on the ground, and golden honey and bee chrysalis were scattered everywhere.
Not only did he get honey, but there were also a lot of bee chrysalis that could be fried for snacks, thinking of this, Ding Hao's saliva was about to come down.
The next thing to look for is blackberries and black spotted snakes, blackberries usually grow in patches under trees, which are very easy to find, and Ding Hao is too lazy to pick them one by one, but uproots the bushes directly. The bushes were all uprooted, and the black spotted snake hiding inside naturally wanted to escape, but was pressed one by one by Ding Hao, who was quick-eyed, and then thrown into the sack.
Estimating that he had collected enough materials, Ding Hao drove back to Night Town.
The next step is the production process, because the rum ingredients are handled in a more delicate way, so the more idle women in the town are here. Blackberries are plucked from the bushes, washed, and picked out the rotten fruits, then juiced and filtered to make a puree, which is then mixed with honey and poured into barrels filled with alcohol.
As for the treatment of the black spotted snake, it is slightly more complicated, first of all, the black spotted snake must be bloodletted, and after the blood, it is to take the gallbladder, peel the skin, cut the meat, and the processed black spotted snake is only a bloody skeleton, without a trace of meat. All the snake blood obtained is gathered into a large vat, filtered to remove parasites from the blood, and then poured into a wooden barrel filled with alcohol along with the snake bones, and when the barrel is opened three days later, it will be filled with spicy snake blood rum. As for snake meat, it can be used for barbecue or stew, and it is very delicious.
Everyone was busy with excitement for the upcoming bonfire, and Ding Hao sat on the roof and watched them quietly, among these people, which of them would become werewolves?
