On the budget list, it is stamped with a dark blue stamp: passed!

Not only the seal, but also the signature and handprint of Baron Bazado. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info even, at the bottom of the budget list, there is a small smiley face drawn.

The moment he saw the smiling face, William smiled too.

"Captain Dodora, you're busy today!" William laughed.

"It's an honor for me to be able to serve Master William!" Dodora was also laughing.

In fact, he had already learned about this matter from the mouth of Baron Bazado, and he was sincerely happy for William, and he was also happy that he could have a sensible master like William.

Not to mention in the imperial capital, but in some other places, when those aristocratic young masters were so old as William, which one didn't do their business all day long, traveling in the mountains and rivers here, and the wind and snow nights there?

Dodora was glad, and so was William.

Over the next month, William and Captain Dodora were busy.

The timber needed to rebuild the laboratory, some of the necessary materials for winemaking, were transported to the back garden of the castle in large numbers, and the guards under Captain Dodora were all free labor.

At the construction site, William became the most diligent runner. Here the detection is unreasonable, it needs to be improved, there are quality defects, it cannot meet the standard, one brand new problem after another, waiting for William to deal with it.

Baron Bazado held a wine bag, and occasionally visited the first time, but most of them were silent with a faint smile on his face.

Even Bill, the old butler, sometimes comes here and gives reasonable advice.

"Young Master William, the malt has been bought, can you put it here?"

"Master William, the reserve room has been built, please go over and take a look. ”

"Master William, there is not enough wood, we want to buy another batch. ”

"Master William, Master Dodora has asked you to come over and say that I have something to look for you. ”

.........

Small labs are being built day by day, and they are rising in the empty back garden.

It's a small lab, but it's not small at all. It contains a brewing room, a storage room, a fermentation room, a malt processing room, a special weighing room, etc., a total of more than ten huts, closely connected.

It's like a microbrewery.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, a month later, the laboratory was finally completely completed, and William happily gave everyone a three-day long vacation.

During the three-day vacation, William was still busy alone.

He sat in the newly built reception room, lit by an oil lamp, and in the flickering light of the fire, he was holding a list and thinking intently about some questions.

"The composition of the brewed beer is very simple, and the main ingredients are malt, water and hops, all written on it. ”

"Malt and water are very easy to find, but hops, I have been looking for so long and have not been acquired. ”

Putting down the list in his hand, William, who was sitting in the chair, rubbed his forehead tiredly.

Hops, also known as hops. It is important to give the beer a unique bitterness and aroma, as well as the ability to preserve and clarify the wort.

In the past life on Earth, hops were scientifically known as hops, and they are perennial vine herbs of the genus Humulus in the family Cannabiaceae. But although there are hops in this world, the hops here are a kind of monster, not a plant.

"Hops, where do I find them!" William said in frustration.

He sat down in his chair for a while, and finally got up. Set up a ladder, climb up to the bookcase, and take down all the books on the plants.

A total of more than 100 thick plant books are placed on the table. If it can't be placed on the table, it will be placed on the ground, and it will be piled up like a hill.

In the faint candlelight, William stayed up all night looking at it.

The only thing that makes him happy is that most of the books are illustrated, which saves him a lot of time flipping through the books.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock at the door, and the old butler Bill walked in with the prepared supper, and said, "Young Master William, haven't you rested yet?" I ordered the servant to make a bowl of soup and bring it to you. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Bill. Just put it on the table. William was still intently looking at the book, and he didn't look back.

Bill, the old butler, sighed. There was no extra space on the table, so he could only put the soup in his hand on a book piled high and leave with a wry smile.

William worked so hard that he stayed up late into the night every day for the past month, and hardly had a good rest.

However, although William felt very tired, his heart was incomparably full, a kind of fulfillment that was worth it.

In the wee hours of the morning, William, who had been searching to no avail, gave up, took the bowl of cold soup from a book, and drank it in small sips with his eyes open.

"Introduction to the Flora of the Aaronic Mountains"

Glancing at the title of the book in front of him, William habitually turned the title page.

A plant illustration that made William think about it came to mind.

"Oh buy ga, oh my god! this is hops, this is the hops I've been looking for!"

At the first glance of this illustration, William was extremely excited, he was still drowsy, but he instantly became extremely excited, and he was full of energy.

From the first paragraph of the opening paragraph, William carefully studied it word by word.

Hundreds of years ago, a bard who wanted to travel the world entered the Aaronic Mountains, and when he was dizzy and dizzy when his hungry chest was pressed against his back, he finally found one fruit after another, that is, hops.

Hops resemble small yellow fruits, but they are actually flowers, not fruits at all. The dying-hungry bard discovered this fact afterwards.

However, at that time, he was so hungry that he ate a lot of hops to fill his stomach, regardless of whether it was true or not. Afterwards, it may have been unaccustomed to the soil, but the bard had diarrhea for several days, which made it remember it vividly, so that William had the book he now has in his hand.

Hops, known as doom fruit in this world, will cause diarrhea and bring bad luck when eaten.

"What! The Fruit of Doom brings you bad luck, but it brings me business opportunities!" William said with a twinkle in his eyes.

He tore off all the parts of the book about the Fruit of Doom, put it away close to his body, and prepared to let people buy the Fruit of Doom tomorrow.

This night is destined to be another sleepless night.

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, William, who had only slept for two or three hours, rolled over from the warm bed, with thick dark circles under his eyes, washed and dressed and eaten, and started a new day of busy life.

At noon, in the study, Captain Dodora was once again called in front of William.

William took out the paper about the Fruit of Doom in his arms and handed it all to Dodora: "This is a plant called the Fruit of Doom, you take it and go to all the shops in Sunset Town to see if you can buy it." ”

After a pause, William continued: "If there is no one in Sunset Town, then you can look for some of the nearby towns. Anyway, I'll leave it to you! Go to Mr. Bill and get ten gold coins in advance, and I'll say hello to him later." ”

"It's an honor for Dodora to serve Master William!" said Dodora respectfully.

It has to be said that Dodora is a very decisive person, he bowed, immediately turned away, and prepared to do this thing, without any delay.

And William was not idle. After taking care of some trivial things in the study of the conference room, he went to the back garden laboratory of the castle and began to prepare for fermentation after some simple processing of some purchased malt.

When the sun sets and night falls, the entire sunset town, every famous home is lit up by candlelight, and people begin to live a nightlife.

Dodora, the captain of the brigade who had been tired of running around for a day, also hurried back from outside with a haggard look and brought the news that William wanted.

"Master William, today I and a group of my men searched through more than a dozen surrounding towns, and finally found the Fruit of Doom on Wildfire City, but..."

As she spoke, Dodora seemed hesitant and hesitant.

"But what?" asked William hurriedly, for fear that something would go wrong.

"But this doom fruit is so expensive that I spent all ten gold coins to buy a pocket. ”

Dodora said, beckoning, and immediately a guard behind him resisted a large bag and put it in front of William.

William opened the big bag and saw that the plants that looked like yellow fruits were impressively contained inside, and there was no doubt that they were indeed the hops he was looking for. Although it takes ten gold coins to buy such a little, it is a bit expensive.

"On Wildfire City, are there many people who buy this Doom Fruit?" William wondered.

"Not much, but not much more. According to the shopkeeper, in Wildfire Town, many wealthy nobles like to buy bad luck fruits to make tea and drink, saying that it has the effect of strengthening the stomach and calming the nerves. Dodora explained.

After hearing this, William was a little speechless.

Hops do have a stomach-soothing effect, but using hops to brew beer is what hops are really used for.

You know, hops are indispensable for brewing beer.

"Alright, let's take our time. What we are doing now is not mass production, but experimentation. This big bag of bad luck fruit is also enough. ”

William comforted Dodora with a few words of comfort, a smile on his face.

Now, the laboratory is covered, all the equipment is in place, the required materials are also complete, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

The east wind here is to start experimenting with brewing beer.

For some time afterward, William devoted himself to brewing beer.

William is no stranger to brewing beer. In his previous life, life was stressful, and when he got off work at night, he would usually ask one or two close friends to order some barbecue and beer in the food stalls on the street, chat together, relax, and talk about ideals.

Over time, William was introduced to the knowledge of beer. Maybe it's the reason for the crossing, or maybe the two souls are integrated, in this life, William's memory is particularly good, and some forgotten memories in his previous life can basically be recalled now.

Thanks to this, the progress of brewing beer, while not fast, is not slow either.

Time passed, and at the end of the year 753 of the Holy Spirit Empire, one snowy evening, with a cheer from William in the laboratory, beer was finally available in this world.
