Chapter 54 The Making Process of Monkey Wine
Wukong put away all the nutrient solutions on the ground in his arms, and how to use these nutrient solutions, whether he drank them all himself, or shared them with his people, was not something Xia Li could manage.
"Help me fill dozens of bottles of monkey wine." Xia Li pointed to a pool of wine and instructed Wukong.
This time, he decided to take more monkey wine, and it would take him a few days to run in Yangshan.
After Wukong received the order, he immediately walked outside the cave and squeaked a few times at the monkeys outside.
After binding the pet contract, Xia Li was able to understand the Monkey King's orders.
Xia Li couldn't cry or laugh, he ordered Wukong, Wukong was giving orders to the Monkey King, a bit of a big fish eating small fish.
After receiving the order, dozens of monkeys immediately rushed in, took the gourds and began to fill the wine.
"How much wine can you produce?" Xia Li pointed to the monkey wine next to him and asked.
He wanted to know the exact amount, at least he had a number in mind when he sold it.
Wukong scratched his head and tilted his head, not knowing how to describe it, it pulled Xia Li and went somewhere else.
Out of the cave just now, the Monkey King led Xia Li to continue walking deep in Shandong.
It didn't take long for Xia Li to feel that the front was getting brighter and brighter, and he could even hear the sound of a stream.
"Strange, how can there be the sound of a stream in this place?" Xia Li was a little confused.
Not long after continuing to walk forward, Wukong stopped, and Xia Li was a little stunned when he saw the scene here.
He thought that the cave just now was amazing enough, but he didn't expect that there would be a bigger cave here.
No wonder it gets brighter and brighter as you go, and it turns out that this place is in the open air, with a waterfall in front of it, and the water from the mountain flows down the stones of the Monkey Valley.
Before, he wondered that so many monkeys gathered here, and the nearest water source was several kilometers away, and it was not convenient to use water normally.
I didn't expect that there was no water source in the valley, so there was no need to go outside to find water at all.
"Could this place be Wu Chengen's Huaguo Mountain?"
"Could there be a cave behind this waterfall?" Xia Li was a little curious when he thought of the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave in Journey to the West.
At this time, Wukong glanced at Xia Li and motioned for him to continue to follow.
With lightning speed, Wukong kicked on a large rock next to the waterhole below.
With the help of the stone, it rushes into the waterfall.
Xia Li opened his mouth and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there was really a hole inside." ”
Xia Li hurriedly learned Wukong's movements, kicked on the stone man, and then used his strength to drill in.
The moment he entered, the waterfall fell on top of him, almost knocking him into the bottom of the pool, but fortunately, he was physically strong, and jumped directly into it with the force of the kick, but the clothes on his body were already soaked.
As soon as he came in, Xia Li looked at the surrounding environment, and there were fruit trees around this water curtain cave, and there were peaches, plums, apricots, and dates.
"I don't know how they grew up here, and it's so dense."
With curiosity, Xia Li walked into the fruit forest. It was found that many of them were picking fruits and chewing them, and most of them were macaques and golden snub-nosed monkeys.
Looking at the fruitful fruits on the tree, Xia Li wondered even more, this season is not the time for them to bear fruit at all?
I don't understand it, I just don't want to, after all, the world is full of wonders, and he can have systems that science can't explain, why can't there be out-of-season fruit forests here!
After walking for a while, Xia Li found that the area of this fruit forest was quite large, although he did not deliberately calculate, but after estimating it in his heart, Xia Li felt that he had walked at least nearly a thousand meters before the tree species around him became the bamboo forest in front of him.
"Hmm, this is a national treasure?"
Looking at the obese animal in the bamboo forest who was leisurely gnawing on bamboo leaves, and his limbs were swinging, Xia Li was surprised.
In fact, he is just a little strange about the appearance of pandas.
The Chuanling, or the warm southern foothills of the Sichuan Mountains, is indeed the habitat of pandas, but there are not many of them.
Xia Li's appearance did not disturb Yaxing, who was eating at all, and after looking at him with round black eyes, he turned around shyly, but did not leave.
But looking at the fat black buttocks, Xia Li was speechless.
There was obviously more than one national treasure in the bamboo forest, and when he walked through the bamboo forest, he saw at least seven national treasures in it.
Of course, if there are more in the depths of the bamboo forest inside, Xia Li doesn't know.
After passing through the bamboo forest, he was greeted by a knee-high meadow. And at the end of the meadow was the big lake that Xia Li had seen standing at the exit of the waterfall earlier.
"Moo!"
The takin herd, who were drinking water and grazing by the lake, gave a warning cry to Xia Li, who suddenly appeared.
And Xia Li, who aimed to enjoy the beautiful scenery in this valley, had no intention of going head-to-head with this group of brute cattle. So he chose to spend more time bypassing the takin and making it to the lake.
The clear water of the lake ripples slightly, and the light penetrates through the water, and everything under the water seems to be clear and clear.
In addition, the slightly fluctuating surface of the lake clearly reflects Xia Li's reflection in it.
A few grass carp more than a foot long were alarmed by Xia Li's reflection, and after flicking their powerful tails a few times, they quickly rushed into the depths of the lake.
"Whew!"
Take a deep breath of fresh air in the valley mixed with the smell of light water, but refreshing.
Looking at the wild natural scenery under the summer sun, as well as the crested ibises and black storks flying in the air, Xia Li's mind couldn't help but revel in it.
In the midst of this stunning natural scenery, you will find a real relaxation in your heart.
"If it were possible, I would love to live here for the rest of my life!"
Xia Li lingered in the beautiful scenery between the mountains and rivers, and it was not until the sun was about to go down that he thought of going back.
Mountains and forests at night are naturally more dangerous than during the day. At this time, the carnivores in the river ridge had already begun to plan for their dinner.
Fortunately, Xia Li already had the experience of spending the night in the mountains, and it was very safe here, so basically no other beasts would come over.
Back in the cave, Xia Li found that the Monkey King was leading the monkeys to pick the fruits of the trees.
Wukong waved his hand, and soon the female monkeys next to him washed the fruits he left behind one by one with the spring water that was brought back, and the cleaned fruits were put into the jade basin next to them.
Then, more than 20 sturdy monkeys, holding jade pestles as thick as children's arms with a length of sixty or seventy centimeters in their hands, began to mash the fruits in the bathtub little by little, and picked out hard objects such as apricot kernels and jujube pits.
The intense and orderly work, Xia Li, who watched it, was not only eye-opening, but also truly understood the entire brewing process of this monkey wine.
After about half an hour, hundreds of fruits had all been mashed into a paste-like jam.
After Wukong examined the situation in the jade basin one by one, he waved his little paws, and soon twenty or thirty monkeys with jade pestles in their hands stopped what they were doing.
Immediately after that, Wukong shouted twice more at the group of monkeys, and his little paw pointed to the jade room where Xia Li had seen before and where the monkey wine was stored.
As it moved, the sturdy monkeys worked in pairs, each lifting the jade basin and following Wukong into the jade room where the monkey wine was stored.
There was no need to follow up to see it, Xia Li also understood that these jams had to be poured into the huge jade wine cellar for fermentation. The result of the fermentation was the refreshing and sweet monkey wine he had drunk earlier, with a fruity aroma!
After Goku carried the jade basin with his group of monkeys, the monkeys who remained outside began to tidy up the stone cave.
The used pots and jars were collected and put back into another cave, and the fruits and pits that Goku had thrown away were also gathered by the monkeys and thrown out of the cave.
Xia Li didn't disturb their busyness, and when the occasional monkey passed by him, he didn't retaliate with strange or hostile intentions.
On the contrary, Xia Li looked very uncomfortable standing here by himself.
In fact, he was an outsider in the first place.
It seems that this group of monkeys has always had the habit of brewing monkey wine, not as he had guessed before, and the monkey wine is naturally brewed from the leftover fruits eaten by the monkeys.
