At the foot of the towering Xilai Mountain, there is a small city called Laishui, which belongs to the medium-sized Nine Feather Flower Kingdom on the Quaff Star. [Ran^Text^Library] The countries on the Quaff Star have been named after the flowers, and the most representative flower in the country is selected, which is equivalent to the national flower of the country, the nine feather flowers are named after the nine petals of the flowers, and the petals are like bird feathers, and most of them are picked and used as auxiliary materials for winemaking in the full flowering period, which can produce a special wine aroma, which makes people unforgettable for life when they smell it, so the feather wine of the Nine Feather Country is very famous in the whole Quaf Star;

There are two major reasons for Laishui to produce fine wine, one is that Xilai Mountain is rich in nine feather flowers, and the quality is high, and the other is that the groundwater here contains aura, and the feather flower wine brewed is not only fragrant, but also has a sense of agility in the mouth.

The political system of the Nine Feathers is equivalent to a semi-monarchical constitutional system, the king is the holder of the highest power, all resources belong to the royal family, and the internal and external affairs of a country, the appointment of local officials, etc., are managed and decided by the king; The Senate controls the army, but does not interfere in government affairs, so this semi-monarchical constitutional system can be regarded as a special system that integrates certain democratic supervision factors into the monarchy after a long period of stable development, and is adopted by most countries on the planet Kwaf.

Outside the north gate of Laishui City, there are dozens of brewing workshops scattered along a small stream, except for the largest Laiwang, which belongs to the official family, the others are all private small workshops. Because of the right of first refusal to purchase raw materials, Laiwang has an official monopoly nature, and the output of one is worth the sum of dozens of other companies, and all the products are handed over to the royal family as tribute, and only after the princes and ministers consume will some of them flow to the private market, while the products of dozens of small workshops are mostly purchased by merchants and sold to all over the world.

Three miles away from the Laiwang, on the edge of the workshop area, a young man in tattered clothes came this morning, and began to move stones and shovel the land on an ownerless wasteland, it seemed that he was going to start building a house, this young man was Qi Xiaoyang who came to Quaf Star from the earth.

The journey here is only more than three months, because flying in a near-vacuum space, Qi Xiaoyang can use the spirit body to accelerate the flying saucer "infinitely", as long as the automatic monitoring is used to avoid rare meteorites and space junk, the flight is safe, in the state of friction close to zero, the speed of the flying saucer reaches N times the speed of light, but at this speed, Qi Xiaoyang did not find the phenomenon of time stopping and reversing, it seems that the theory of time speed on the earth is completely nonsense. Landing in the primeval forest of Xilai Mountain, Qi Xiaoyang searched for the spirit crystal mine for nearly a month, and finally found nothing, he now eats a huge amount of food, he has to kill a whole pig or sheep in one meal, and has to add dozens of catties of pasta, and the living materials brought have been exhausted, he has to hide the flying saucer in the inaccessible forest, and go out of the mountain to beg for a living.

Avoiding the guards with spears and knives at the city gate, Qi Xiaoyang chose to fly into Laishui City from the high city wall at night, and after wandering for a day, he realized that it was difficult to live in a foreign country. First of all, the language is difficult, there is no audio-visual material here, it can't be like in the past on the earth, if you want to learn any language, you only need to find audio-visual textbooks, enter the brain to get it, here are all paper books, you have to take your time like a child, now even the simplest communication is very difficult; secondly, the image problem, people on the street look at him like an alien monster (in fact, he is originally alien), he wants to buy a set of clothes here, and there is no currency on him, he has to make a good set of clothes tattered, so that he can't see the style can be better, he has also tried to steal some money or supplies, but he knows that there are many spirit refiners here, I don't know what the strength of the realm is, I don't dare to do it for fear of being caught, and I end up embarrassed.

Qi Xiaoyang didn't attract more attention here, because of his height and appearance, normal adults in Quafxing are between two and a half to three meters, and people like him who are more than 1.7 meters tall are children over ten years old, plus he has a baby face, others treat him as a homeless street child. In order not to be suspected, Qi Xiaoyang could only pretend to be dumb, only listened to it, and slowly figured out the meaning of those words. If you can't find a way to make money, you can't buy food, Qi Xiaoyang is hungry in the city, and he has to go back to the forest to hunt, fortunately, there are many strange animals, but there are no ingredients, whether it is boiled or baked, eating too much will ruin the appetite.

In order to make money, Qi Xiaoyang observed many industries according to his own ability, and found that he could only pay attention to science and technology, but thinking about the increasingly bad climate and environment on the earth, those inventions were actually crimes against this unpolluted planet, and he couldn't convince himself to do such a lifelong evil thing. After a few days of observation, Qi Xiaoyang felt that the easiest opportunity to make money in Laishui was still in the largest industry - Yuhua wine, he had accidentally seen some information about brewing technology, and basically knew the principle of microbial fermentation, seeing that those workshops were all putting grain in ceramic containers for liquid fermentation, knowing that there was still great potential to be tapped in this industry, so he took decisive action to reclaim a test field for winemaking on this wasteland.

Qi Xiaoyang's action first attracted the attention of the owner of the workshop next to him, this is a middle-aged man in his forties according to the year of Quaf, named Sui Chu Liehan, simply named Liehan, he was originally a businessman who came from other places to sell wine, and after a long time, he found that the profit of winemaking was high and the income was stable, so he devoted all his resources to establish this workshop called "Xilaichun" a few years ago. Liehan is a very shrewd businessman, the relevant personnel on the official side of the government are properly ordered, and the purchase of raw materials for Jiuyuhua has won a lot of cheap prices from the government-run workshop, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, but he is very mean to his workers, and none of them are intimate to him, so the quality of the Yuhua wine produced has not been able to improve.

When the basin-sized sun broke out of the horizon from the south, Liehan, who got up early to supervise the workers to draw water from the deep well in the courtyard, found Qi Xiaoyang, who was moving stones on the wasteland outside, he was surprised to see this "child" easily build a low wall of stones the size of a grinding plate, and his heart couldn't help but be hot, this is a good worker! Pacing in front of him with a teapot, Liehan greeted him with a smile on his face for a long time, but he saw that this kid could only smirk and point to his mouth straight, only to know that he was dumb, his face turned cold, he shook his head and left regretfully.

The land of Jiuyu Country belongs to the royal regime, due to the vast and sparsely populated land, a large amount of high-quality land is barren, so everyone does not care much about the ownerless wasteland outside the city, whether it is reclamation and planting or building houses to live, the government is just to do a population registration, and there is no restriction, so Qi Xiaoyang is here to build a stone for a house, and there is no one to consult, but a group of children in the village next to him who are about the same height as Qi Xiaoyang, seeing that he is doing fun, began to run to help, and soon became familiar.

Among this group of children, there is a boy named Shi Si and a girl named Si Huiyue, who especially likes Qi Xiaoyang, who came to play in the stone house under construction after school, out of sympathy, and brought him some food, these two children are dark-skinned people with yellow complexion, in fact, they don't look dark, and they seem to have a faint bright gold. Qi Xiaoyang likes to look through their textbooks and learn simple Jiuyu dialect from them, but he only keeps it in mind, and he has to continue to pretend to be dumb.

With extraordinary physical strength and endurance, Qi Xiaoyang only took one day to build three stone houses, and three stones set up a pot, barely able to cook and eat. The villagers in the village passed by and saw that this "dumb child" was pitiful, and the east family sent a lot of things from the west family of Chai, Mi and Xijia Salt, so that Qi Xiaoyang was separated from the life of a savage. Most of these village names are to farm, raise nine feather flowers for a living, although the days are peaceful, but the degree of food and clothing do not have to worry, because there is more land, rich products, natural disasters are also few, plus people here are very difficult to reproduce, it is not easy to conceive a child, there are more than two children in the family is very rare, so the burden is relatively light, the child's treasure ** can be imagined.

Although Qi Xiaoyang is a "mute", there are still many people in the village who want to adopt him, but unfortunately he is a smirk, a middle-aged man named Warin saw that he couldn't move him, and used a big horse with eight legs and a spider to send him a few large bags of daily utensils to help him decorate the stone house. This kind of horse is the most commonly used means of transportation on the planet Quaff, with eight legs and a large back shell are hard and, some are black and shiny, some are colorful, and the round head can be stretched and contracted like a black *, and the appearance is both honest and **. This guy is extremely powerful, carrying three giants nearly three meters tall, walking like flying, and is called a turtle horse by the locals. The black turtle horse is docile, but the strength and speed are poor, basically the common people domesticated; the more colorful the turtle and horse, the more difficult it is to tame, but the quality and performance are much higher, generally used by people with status and status as mounts, and the army, most of them are also this kind of good turtle horses.

Turtles and horses are omnivorous animals, eat a lot of food, herbivore and meat are not refused, black belongs to many generations of domesticated breeds, although obedient, the spirituality is very poor, and most of the color varieties are wild, spirituality is high and fast, like the top red and gold varieties, even the master of refining spirits is difficult to catch one, and the higher the quality of the turtle and horse, the more the master, once tamed, only one master for life, the real from the beginning.

There are three moons hanging in the sky, and the brightness of the night is equivalent to the cloudy sky on the earth, under such conditions, people's work and rest time is not arranged according to the day, to apply the concept on the earth, their time measurement is to divide the day into nine hours, each hour is divided into nine hours, each hour is divided into nine minutes, and each minute is divided into nine hundred seconds, becoming a four-stage nine-base system. Qi Xiaoyang converted, one hour and one round of work and rest here is only slightly longer than forty-eight hours on the earth, and one second is equivalent to 2.4 seconds on the earth.

By the time the second round of sunrise came, Qi Xiaoyang had already built a high courtyard wall around the stone house, and made two wooden doors with the help of Wallin, the yard was two acres of land, and several turtle and horse carts could be parked, which was the space that Qi Xiaoyang used for the first step to beg for life. built a six-meter-high courtyard wall, Qi Xiaoyang's biggest purpose was not to let people see his actions, because if you want to make good wine, the first element is water. He observed the water intake methods of other workshops, all of which used the primitive method of digging into wells, and it was estimated that it was only twenty or thirty meters deep at most, and the quality of this brewing water depended on the amount of aura, Qi Xiaoyang guessed that the reason why the groundwater here contains aura, is because there is a spiritual crystal mine deep in the formation, which the locals must also know, but they don't know why they don't take water from the depths.

Qi Xiaoyang's method of drilling a well is very simple, condensing the spirit body into a drill bit, which penetrates through the ground under high-speed rotation, and all the soil and rocks are vaporized, and even the effort of transportation is saved. The water began to come out at a depth of more than ten meters, but Qi Xiaoyang did not stop drilling until he had exhausted his spiritual power more than ten times and the depth reached nearly a thousand meters. Only then did Qi Xiaoyang begin to expand the wellhead, making it look like an ordinary well.

After solving the water problem, the next step was to dig a pit pond in the yard and cultivate pit mud. Theoretically speaking, the fermentation of grain and fruits into wine mainly relies on microorganisms, so Qi Xiaoyang picks a lot of sugar-rich fruits from the mountains, mixes them with the soil, stirs them with water, and naturally ferments them for a few days before they paste onto the walls of the cellar. The raw materials used in other workshops are all grain grown by farmers, and Qi Xiaoyang has no money to buy it, so he goes to the wilderness to collect wild millet, mix more than a dozen kinds together to make koji first, and first put a pond of about a ton of wild grain into the cellar

Taking advantage of the time when the wild grain was fermenting in the cellar, Qi Xiaoyang began to use various local methods to make distillation equipment, most of the materials came from the assistance of the villagers.

The equipment is almost done, there is still a key thing, the double-layer cooling barrel is still some soft aluminum skin, this thing is not easy to find, and some areas are not suitable for use. On this day, Qi Xiaoyang saw a broken cooling bucket thrown in the courtyard of Lehan next door, so he walked in with a shy face. There are two vicious dogs in Liehan's yard, the size of a calf, looking a little like a big monkey on the earth, barking at Qi Xiaoyang together, and pounced on them violently, Qi Xiaoyang naturally has nothing to do with them, but if he asks for help, this dog can't be beaten, so he can only hide and go inside.

Liehan heard the dog barking, and when he came out, he saw that it was the dumb boy next door, lazily drank the two dogs, and asked him what he was doing here, Qi Xiaoyang pointed to the broken aluminum bucket placed on the side of the courtyard wall and said that he wanted this thing. After Liehan understood the meaning, he walked over and brought the broken bucket over, Qi Xiaoyang smiled and was about to take it, who knew that the people threw it into the house with a click, looked at him contemptuously and said: "I still have a few circles of money to sell scrap, what's the benefit of giving you this little beggar?"

Although Qi Xiaoyang still couldn't understand these more complicated Jiuyu words, he could guess the meaning of Lie Han's two sentences, he glanced deeply at this meat tower-like guy, and turned to leave.

Not long after returning to the stone house, a pink little girl pushed the door in, Qi Xiaoyang recognized her as Liehan's daughter Sui Chu Xiaolong, said that it was a little girl, in fact, the ten-year-old Xiaolong was about the same height as Qi Xiaoyang, she was a pink race, her translucent skin made her delicate facial features look like real pink carving, her dark blue eyes flashed mischievous and cunning, she usually went to school in the city, and this was the first time she came to Qi Xiaoyang's side.

The beautiful skin people of the Nine Feather Country have a great advantage in status, they discriminate and oppress the dark-skinned people who are engaged in planting, hunting or doing small jobs to make a living, so Xiao Long can't play with Shi Si and Si Huiyue's children, and she doesn't have any playmates when she goes home, and when she sees Qi Xiaoyang just eating deflated at her father's place, she curiously came over to see this little weirdo who is neither pink nor yellow
