Chapter 20: The beer is finally ready
"Please listen to the question, Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong are discussing Xiao Gang, at this time Xiao Gang came, Xiao Ming smiled and said, Cao Cao Cao arrived, who has arrived?"
"This ...... It's Cao Cao who has arrived!" Facing the duke's question, Milia confidently gave an answer. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"No, it's Xiao Gang who has arrived. The Duke corrected with a smile.
"Why? Didn't you say Cao Cao Cao arrived?" asked Milia, puzzled.
"It's just a saying, which means that as soon as we talk about someone, that person appears, and we just talked about Xiao Gang, so Xiao Gang arrived. Lin Ye patiently explained.
"I see, Milia has written it down, my lord, you can go ahead with the question. Miria nodded thoughtfully, regaining her confidence.
"Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong are discussing Cao Cao, at this time Xiao Gang suddenly broke in, may I ask, is the door broken?"
"Breaking in, the door must be broken, it's so strange, someone else is talking in a good manner, what are you doing when you break the door?Is it saying bad things about Xiao Gang?" Milia tilted her head and asked, she had been learning this ancient language for more than a week, and it felt very esoteric.
"Wrong, the door is not broken, breaking in is an idiom, it describes forcibly breaking into someone's house, not necessarily breaking the door. Lin Ye laughed.
Once again, Milia has fallen into the trap of the vast and profound language of Chinese.
"Woo, why is it wrong again, it must be an adult, you are bullying, Milia is no longer learning. The aggrieved maid immediately protested.
Lin Ye immediately said with a straight face: "We agreed in advance, don't give up halfway, now I'll teach you how to write Chinese characters." ”
He patiently taught Miria a stroke, which seemed like a completely superfluous move.
But in Lin Ye's view, words are an indispensable carrier for condensing the centripetal force of a race, and he must have a unique text in order to keep the core technology of Black Fire Castle on the premise that it can be inherited and not spread out.
Otherwise, it would be very irritating to make wedding clothes for others.
Although Milia has a very serious resistance to Chinese characters that are too esoteric, she is very smart and has mastered a lot of basic words and phrases in just one week, which makes Lin Ye very happy.
He explained that the simple production line built by Wood and others was nearing completion.
The main purpose of this line is to make fermentation vats, mash vats, sedimentation vats and distillation vats from wood and leather, which are then connected with grooves with different functions.
According to Lin Ye's calculations, this simple production line can produce about 120 kilograms of beer per day on average.
This is too insignificant compared to the thousands of tons produced in the modern world, and not even a single hair of human hair can be compared.
But compared to the less than 10 kilograms a day in Old Bill's brewery, that's 12 times more.
Lin Ye knew very well that these things he was pouring didn't have to keep up with the pace of modern industry, as long as they could greatly exceed the output of this world.
Of course, that's just the goal at this stage.
The yeast cultivated by Milia had been sent to Old Bill's brewery two days ago, and in addition to the yeast used for brewing, Lin Ye also taught her another method of cultivating yeast used in the bakery.
It is common knowledge in modern society that bread becomes more crispy and delicious after being fermented by yeast.
But this is undoubtedly not recognized in this era, and this yeast is still a few days away from being cultivated, so it will take a few days for the people of Blackfire Castle to taste the taste of brand new bread.
Now he was still concerned about the beer that Old Bill was experimenting with, after all, bread was mostly sold domestically, to improve the quality of life of the people of Blackfire Castle, and he did not think that bread could be used as a means to open up the Far Eastern market.
If you want to make money from the major tribes, you really have to rely on wine!
"Although I have seen it many times in the past, but the progress of the experiment is unusually slow, Miria has a very right saying, I can't do everything myself, there are not many things in the Black Fire Castle now, I am still busy, if I go to everything in detail in the future, I will have to die of exhaustion. ”
Lin Ye sighed, he still remembered that in the history of China, Mr. Wolong, who was wise and close to the demon, was the one who would do everything and exhaust himself alive.
He knows very well that his little ability is not one-ten-thousandth of Mr. Wolong's.
Even a miraculous figure like Mr. can't carry a country to the end on his own, and he is a mere nobody, so he naturally clearly realizes that he can't do better than Mr. in terms of personal ability.
So the only thing he has to do is to pass on the skills he has mastered and let more suitable people do it.
For example, Old Bill and Wood, Lin Ye in the two fields of winemaking and carpentry, except for a little bit of technical understanding, it is unlikely that he can do better than them.
"Don't worry about it, I'm happy to be a shopkeeper. Lin Ye smiled and looked at the sunset that was about to set outside the window, he planned to ask Milia to go out for a walk.
But at this moment, an excited voice staggered from outside the door.
The man who came was so excited, so excited, he was already shouting in the hallway, even if he ran too fast and almost fell to the ground, he didn't mind it, his voice was very excited, and even so, he could hear that he was suppressing the ecstasy.
"My lord, it's brewed, your improved beer, we're brewing!"
This was Old Bill's voice, Lin Ye stood up suddenly, and he immediately greeted him.
For more than a week, he had been thinking about it all the time, and when it came to the excitement of the success of the experiment, he was by no means below old Bill, and even more so!
Because his next plan will revolve around the sign of beer, and if this project is messed up, there will be no fun in the future.
"Was the experiment successful, how does it taste?" Lin Ye suppressed the excitement in his heart, grabbed Old Bill's hand and asked as calmly as possible.
"But we don't know the taste yet, we haven't tasted it yet, so we're waiting for you to go over and taste the first sip, but looking at the color of the beer, it's not only bright and beautiful, but also a lot of bubbles, just looking at it, people can't help but want to have a big glass." Old Bill laughed heartily.
"Yes, it's yellowish and bright, and it's bubbling, that's what it looks like, let's go and see. Lin Ye dragged Old Bill to the brewery, and on the way he met Vivien and Lancelot, and he couldn't help but grab them and go out.
"But my lord, I'm still on patrol. "Lancelot had never seen the Duke so excited.
"What are you still patrolling, now is a historic moment, if you don't witness it, you will definitely regret it in the future!" Lin Ye's excitement was overflowing.
Old Bill's description of the beer was almost exactly what he remembered, and it was quite possible that the experiment was successful!
The group quickly arrived at Old Bill's brewery, where many people had gathered outside the brewery.
"The Duke is here, my God, I can finally taste the taste of that barrel of wine, just looking at it makes people greedy. ”
"I've never seen anything like it, it's called...... Beer? You can see there's bubbling up there, it's incredible!"
"The person who invented this wine is really a genius, and this faint aroma even has to hook my soul away. ”
The old wine worms rubbed their hands together and were ready to move, and if it hadn't been for Old Bill's words, the Duke would have tasted the first bite, and I'm afraid they would have rushed up to divide the barrel of wine.
"Look, my lord, this is the wine that has been improved by your method, and how tempting it is, so try it. Old Bill didn't care about using the cup, so he directly scooped a spoonful with a wooden scoop and handed it to Lin Ye.
"Ahem, Bill, your excitement is understandable, but your lord is a nobleman, and he has to pay attention to etiquette. Mr. Murray, who rushed to hear the news, reminded.
"It's okay, you don't have to wait for me, let's try this freshly brewed beer, Lancelot, you can try it too. Lin Ye smiled and waved his hand.
"Hooray!"
After getting his permission, the old wine worms who had been ready to move for a long time swarmed up, and the scene was really lively.
Lin Ye smiled and took a sip of wine, but the moment the beer entered his throat, he looked strange.
"It's so refreshing! After drinking it, I feel the bubbles still dancing in my throat, and the aroma is endless!"
"I've never drunk such a delicious wine, who would dare to say that we can only brew rat urine in the future?
"I feel that after drinking this wine, I have more strength to work, haha, bring me another glass, have a drink. ”
The old drinkers, including Old Bill, were full of praise for the newly brewed beer.
Even Mr. Murray, who has always advocated the prohibition of alcohol, smiled with satisfaction.
If this temper is regarded as the development of the industry, Blackfire Castle may really be able to rise.
Lancelot, who usually doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, nodded after taking a sip.
But at this time.
Lin Ye suddenly stepped forward and overturned the barrel that still had half a barrel of wine!
The golden liquid was poured all over the floor.
"My lord, who are you?" Old Bill didn't expect Lin Ye to do this, and he was dumbfounded.
This is the beer that he worked so hard to brew according to his instructions, why did he pour it like this?
More than a dozen pairs of surprised eyes moved to the young Duke.
"No, this smell is wrong, something must be wrong!"
