80. Wine
The afternoon sun shone on the hills.
The turquoise slightly withered pines and cypresses ripple in the wind.
In the clearing, thousands of people sat on their knees and prayed their faith.
Such a scene, even in the past countless years, will still set off turbulent waves in the hearts of these Hun captives.
All the captives stared blankly in the direction in which Zhang Qi had disappeared.
The scene that had just happened was unacceptable for the first time, and then they also figured out that no wonder they and the others would be defeated and captured, and it turned out that they were facing the great 'Son of the Gods'. ’
At this moment, the captives present also bowed their heads reverently, they were all steppe people, and they were all warriors who fought hard with swords, bows and guns.
They also hope that one day they will be able to go to the ranch of the gods after they die in battle.
The sound of prayer rose and fell through the forest.
Ten minutes or so is exactly the time to recite the prayer compiled by Zhang Qi five times.
Seeing that Zhang Qi did not appear in the clearing.
Lu Mu and Hui glanced at each other, and then began to guide.
The herdsmen dispersed, leaving only those who had come to help collect the captives.
The cages were sent to various military villages, and Wang Li and others also led the soldiers to escort the captives over after the prayer.
Zhang Qi had already ordered the place to guard them, and they were placed in the military village, so that these captives could see what kind of military life they were living as soldiers attached to the light of the gods.
People are animals who pursue a better life, as long as there is a comparison, Zhang Qi believes that these captives will soon be absorbed by him.
Ride and slash the world.
After coming in, Zhang Qi originally planned to go out immediately, but after thinking about it, he chose to stay here for the time being.
After all, these people were indeed warriors who died for him, and it was indeed wrong to put them on the ground like this.
In the hall of the castle of Silonia.
Zhang Qi rang a bell that connected the town outside.
The artisans had now arrived in the town with the wolf cubs, the oldest of whom were fifteen years old, and the youngest of whom were now in their early fifties.
The three-year period is only two or three months for Zhang Qi.
After the bell rang, a well-proportioned and slightly curvaceous young girl ran in.
"Wolf King, you're back."
Hu Ling's face was happy.
Seeing the girl, Zhang Qi also smiled gently, now it is not the beginning, these wolf cubs have completely become Zhang Qi's most loyal supporters under the effect of spiritual points, and in the face of these people, he is naturally extremely convinced.
"Well, the matter outside is settled, see those water bags on the ground, you take those cubs to find a place for them in the city, they are all warriors who died for me, you have to take it seriously."
Hu Ling looked in the direction Zhang Qi pointed, and hundreds of water bags were piled up on the ground.
Listening to Zhang Qi's words and deeds, Hu Ling bowed in that direction with a solemn face, and then faced Zhang Qi.
"Hu Ling will place the bones of the warriors properly, and please rest assured that the wolf king."
Zhang Qi nodded: "Well, you can do it, by the way, let the three craftsmen come over, I have something to do with them." ”
Hu Ling took the order and turned to leave, she was the only one who naturally couldn't hold the water bag containing all the ashes, she had to call someone.
As soon as they came and went, the water bags in the castle were taken away, and the three craftsmen were also standing in front of Zhang Qi waiting for the dispatch.
For more than three years, these craftsmen have become mellow, and they only need to teach the wolf cubs the craft in this world, and the others will rarely interfere.
The batch of cubs sent before were all brought by the wolf cubs, and under the brainwashing every day, they have completely become Zhang Qi's diehards, which is why Zhang Qi's second batch of children brought in are all about three years old.
"Sit down and talk."
In the dim castle hall, Zhang Qi waved his hand, and several people sat down.
"How have you been teaching over the years?"
After sitting down, Zhang Qi asked straight to the point.
These three people were carefully selected by him from among the craftsmen from the outside world, and in addition to the blacksmith, each of them wore many hats, could be carpentry, stonework, could be a mason, could also make pottery, and build ships.
It can be said that except for blacksmithing, which is a craft that is enough to eat, the other two are craftsmen who once became all-powerful in order to feed and wear.
Hearing Zhang Qi's question, the blacksmith who still had a few handfuls of tendon meat among the three replied: "My skills have been taught in the first year.
Now I can't understand the work done by those little gentlemen, and now they are all fighting. ”
Zhang Qiyan nodded when he heard this. After the wolf cubs learned the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, they would combine the knowledge taught by Zhang Qi, and the small blast furnace now has an eyebrow.
Although there is no coal in the world, there is a precedent for smelting iron ore into molten iron by relying on charcoal with bellows and accelerants.
Although it is still unstable, Zhang Qi believes that as long as they continue to conduct experiments or bring in coal from the outside world, then the earth blast furnace can be conquered by them!
Along with the blacksmith's report, the other two also reported their teaching results one after another.
The wolf cubs are all different, some are quick learners of the craft, while others are simply not talented.
For example, Hu Er.
Fifteen-year-old Hu Er has now grown to more than one meter seven, in this era can be called a straight sentence, in martial arts, Hu Er has swept seven times in a row the real sword competition, the championship, but in terms of knowledge....
Forget it, let's ignore him.
Although he was a little stupid, Zhang Qi was still very relieved to take him with him as a guard.
After talking with a few craftsmen for a while, Zhang Qi figured out which wolf cubs were smarter and explained what he was going to do next.
"You go find a place, and I'm going to brew the liquor next, and I'll hand over the drawings to you, and I'll get the equipment I need as soon as possible."
Come and go, Zhang Qi naturally won't forget that he wants to brew wine, he was born in a farmer's family, and he has been exposed to winemaking since he was a child.
Distilling liquor is actually not a very troublesome thing, two iron pots and a barrel with a mouth in the middle can distill rice wine with a little combination, and it only takes a few more times to increase the alcohol concentration in the wine to a concentration that can be sterilized and disinfected.
What? Alcohol, you say? This is not for drinking, methanol ethanol which alcohol can not be sterilized, besides, fusel methanol is in the head wine and tail wine, if you really want to drink, you can pinch the head and remove the tail.
This thing is called Tianguo, and when he was a child, almost every household in the village had it, and any sweet potato wine, rice wine, and potato wine could be brewed.
The only thing that is difficult now is 'koji', and Zhang Qi can also make koji, but there are no materials in his hands.
Although the spicy knotweed used to make koji can be seen everywhere, as long as you walk along the valley and river, you can always see some, but because of the season, he has nowhere to pick it.
Now I can only try sake brewing.
