The first steaming and brewing of the jade ice grill has been completed, and the mixture of honey and wheat bran is mixed into the koji and then fermented for the second steaming and second brewing, during which the fermentation process will wait for nearly seven days. When Lucina and Taipan saw the new sake, they couldn't wait to sell the new type of jade ice yaki in the wilderness. After thinking about it for a while, Xu Zheng discussed it with Lucina and Carlo, and decided to wait for the beer to be brewed before selling it at the same time as Yu Bing Yao. There are two reasons for this, one is that considering that spirits appeared for the first time in the imperial capital, Xu Zheng could not be sure of people's reaction to it, so it was sold together with low-alcohol liquor such as beer, so as not to have an embarrassing situation in case people could not accept high-alcohol spirits and there were no other low-alcohol drinks to drink. The second is that the amount of four cylinders is really less, and after the second steaming and second brewing, the wine production will be greatly increased, so that in case the sales are good, there will be a situation of running out of wine. Due to the inability to confirm the reflection of the market, Xu Zheng has no plans to increase the brewing for the time being.

So during this time, Xu Zheng asked Lucina to be patient a little longer, and while thinking about new snacks, she also steamed several other wines in the brewing tank and removed the slag, and steamed all the kind of wine made from a mixture of corn, wheat and peas, and soaked the fat pork in the bottle. Lao Bangjia and the others saw Xu Zheng throwing fat pork into the wine, and their eyes widened one by one, even though they knew that Xu Zheng's methods were outstanding, but the first time they saw the fat pork thrown into the wine, something that was not related to the wind cow, they still couldn't help but be surprised, and they were all eye-opening.

Lao Banga and Baro learned a new winemaking process from Xu Zheng, especially stimulated by the steamed jade ice roast, and they couldn't help but be tempted and decided to try it themselves. Lao Bangjia still took the route of fruit wine, and according to Xu Zheng's production method, he bought a large number of citrus and grapes again, planning to use the new process to make these two kinds of wine. Barlow was very interested in Yu Bing Yao, and after asking Xu Zheng in detail about the brewing method, he planned to make this kind of wine. He asked Xu Zheng for the drawings of the steamer, found a sharp-bladed blacksmith shop, and wanted to draw a scoop according to the gourd, and also build a steamer for backup. However, the two dwarves with outstanding skills in the blade had already absconded, but the steamer could not be built, so Barlow had to return to the wilderness, snatch Xu Zheng's steamer and run away. Fortunately, Xu Zheng didn't have anything to steam now, so he had to laugh and scold the old robber a few words before giving up. When it's time to steam, I'll go and ask Barlow for it.

The current situation is still that there is no new wine to sell, and Xu Zheng's brain is still spinning on developing new snacks.

Now it is the height of summer, Xu Zheng saw that Lucina sometimes in order to save money, as long as it is not a meal, even when she is hungry, she is alone in boiling water to eat dry bread, so he moved his heart to wheat products, and he rushed to the market to carry 40 catties of flour back.

In the process of going out and coming back, due to the hot weather outside, when Xu Zheng returned to the field with the flour on his shoulder, it was already so hot that he stuck out his tongue like a dog, lying on the table and panting. It's terrible that the summer in the imperial capital can be so hot. Xu Zheng glanced at Lu Lu, who was lying on his stomach in the courtyard, and couldn't figure out that this guy could sleep peacefully under the scorching sun with such a thick fur. In the line of sight, a bulge suddenly appeared on the neck of the purr, and after arching a few times, it came out of the fur, revealing the round body of the hairball. The little thing ran to Lulu again without realizing it.

Probably because of the sun, the hairball moved a few times between Lulu's neck, and then drilled back, Xu Zheng saw Lulu's fur shaking for a while, protruding a ball of left and right arches, and finally disappeared under Lulu's chin, and the hairball guy ran there to cool off.

Lucina's family has been with Lulu for a long time now, and they are no longer afraid of this guy, in Lucina's own words, it doesn't matter if there is an extra big cat in the family, the trouble is that this cat is too edible, and cunning, the kitchen door is equivalent to being completely defenseless for it, Lulu is always free to come and go, eat whatever he wants, and almost half of the bowl chicken goes into its stomach except for the one that is sold. Fortunately, this guy still knows to listen to Xu Zheng's orders, and knows how to sneak in when there are no outsiders, otherwise a big monster will steal something to eat in the kitchen, and the scene will be seen.

At this time, seeing that Xu Zheng was so hot that he was lying on the table panting, untied the fan of his shirt desperately, and wanted to peel off the skin of his whole body to cool down, Lucina couldn't help but smile, poured a bowl of cold boiled water and handed it to Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng took it and poured it violently, drinking it violently, and the water flowed through the placket of his neck until he felt a little cool on his chest.

Xu Zheng said: "How can it be so hot?"

Lucina said: "The summer in the imperial capital is like this every year, but we are used to it. When you're new to the city, of course, you're not used to it. Listening to Carlo, it seems that the mountains are blocking the wind blowing across the sea, so the temperature in the imperial capital is relatively hot. ”

Xu Zheng sighed, feeling that he still hadn't quenched his thirst, so he went to pour water again.

Lucina was a little worried: "Xu Zheng, the weather is so hot, will those wines be bad?"

"No, it won't. Xu Zheng said: "The weather in Zion is hot, but it is relatively dry, and the several wines made now are either sealed or fermented products that can withstand high temperatures, and there is no problem." However, the weather is too hot, and it would be nice to have something to cool down. When he said this, his heart moved, as if some thought had passed by.

Lucina said, "yes, it's hot. You men are good, you can take off your clothes and be naked when you get hot. We women are miserable. ”

Xu Zheng squinted at Lucina's ridiculously large chest, and said in his heart: Your pair of murder weapons appeared, I don't know how many people will be frightened, so it is better to hide them.

Lucina didn't know what Xu Zheng, a young ghost who had lived for 159 years, was thinking, and still sighed to herself: "The senior class and the junior class still have to learn archery under the sun, I don't know what the heat will become." Alas, they are not my worries, I am most worried about the liquor in the store. ”

"How?"

"It's so hot that the wine always turns sour very quickly at this time of year. I only have two kinds of wine to sell now, and when I have sour, I have nothing to sell. The wilderness shop is small, not like the hotels in Rose, where you can hire magical apprentices to make ice to cool down. Lucina sighed.

"Oh!" Xu Zheng slapped the door of his head hard, and the thoughts that flashed in his mind just now suddenly became clear after Lucina said this.

Why didn't he think of making ice and cooling down? Now that the wine is still brewed, in the fermentation process, it is not a big problem, but once it is brewed, storage becomes a problem. Of course, there is no problem with the sealed storage tank of the aged wine, but the wine that is open for sale must be stored properly, otherwise, as Lucina said, it will quickly turn sour in this weather. My mind turned, and I thought about beer again. Beer always has to be chilled to get better, and when it's hot, it's a supreme pleasure to have a glass or two of cold beer! It can be said that there may be people who don't enjoy the taste of beer that hasn't been chilled, but no one won't love it when it's chilled.

With his mind racing, Xu Zheng quickly completed his thoughts in his mind and asked Lucina, "What's the matter with the other shop-hired magic apprentices making ice?"

Lucina was stunned, she didn't expect Xu Zheng's thinking to suddenly jump to this, and after a while, she said, "Oh, this." It used to be that everyone found that alcohol spoiled quickly when it was hot in the summer. Later, I don't know which smart person discovered that lowering the temperature can make the wine last longer. As a result, many hotels with conditions have dug cellars and stored the unfinished wine in them, so that they can be stored for a longer time. Taverns with better conditions will hire magic apprentices, usually ice magic apprentices, who will use magic to make ice, and then put the ice and wine together so that the wine can last longer. ”

Xu Zheng was very interested and asked, "It's just a magic apprentice, why don't you just hire a magician?"

Lucina reached out and patted Xu Zheng's head and smiled, "You are stupid." There are very few magicians in the entire Aris continent, and all magicians are extremely noble professions, where is it possible to take such an undesirable job? Even a trainee magician will not. Only the Magic Apprentice who is an apprentice will take this job. Because although the profession of magician is noble, the cost of becoming a magician can only be described as sky-high. Of course, becoming a noble magician is rich, but before becoming a magician, you have to pay a considerable price. Therefore, in general, except for the nobles who have strong family support, the average commoner rarely has a magician. And magicians are the dreams of most teenagers, and in the absence of strong family support, they can only choose to be a magic apprentice to earn money to save for tuition. ”

Xu Zheng said: "So, is the fee charged by the magic apprentice cheap?"

Lucina slapped Xu Zheng again and said, "Where did you come from? Are you really a wandering little savage? I don't even know this bit of common sense." Let me tell you, anything that can be used by the word magic is not anything that can be touched by the word cheap. The fees charged by magic apprentices are not as sky-high as those charged by magicians, but they are also ridiculously expensive. During this time, we sold wine and snacks, especially your snacks, which have been selling well, and our income is quite good, after deducting taxes, there are about 300 gold coins. Do you know how much it costs to hire a magic apprentice to make ice?"

"How much does it cost?" Xu Zheng asked stupidly.

Lucina smiled and stretched out a finger to shake in front of Xu Zheng.

"100 gold coins?!" Xu Zheng's eyes widened.

"It's not. Lucina said, "Once." 300 coins. The 300 gold we earn now is only enough to ask for once. ”

"My Mamma Mia!" Xu Zheng gasped: "It's so expensive, isn't it robbing people?"

Lucina said, "What can be done? there are fewer magicians, fewer magic apprentices, and even fewer magicians." Scarcity is expensive. Besides, they are actually very impatient themselves, and if they don't charge fees like this, they will have a hard time making ends meet. ”

"His grandmother's. Please, please!" Xu Zheng said angrily: "I make my own ice!"

"Can you do magic?" Lucina was taken aback. Although Lucina has a deep understanding of Xu Zhenghui's many things, isn't this capital too strong?

Xu Zheng grinned: "No." But I can't learn it. Besides, there's not just magic that can make ice, and it's up to me. As he spoke, he ran out the door as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

"Where?" called Lucina.

"Library. Xu Zhengtou didn't come back and said, "I'll go and study what kind of magic it is." Sorcerer, what's the big deal? ”
