Chapter 210: Merit

Fengyun didn't know exactly how sake was made, he only remembered seeing the process of making rice wine in a documentary about food.

The documentary is also not very detailed, so he only has a rather vague idea of the process of winemaking.

In addition to this, he remembers that sake brewing requires an extremely important ingredient - koji.

As for how to make koji, he had no idea at all.

At that time, he only had the attitude of trying to make wine, and he was not sure whether he would succeed at all.

However, the results were far from what he expected.

Relying on vague memories and even calculations, he was stunned to succeed.

Although it was not the first time he succeeded, he didn't try it many times, and it was much easier than he could have made seasonings such as soy sauce and vinegar.

The wine was brewed, and after tasting it, Fengyun felt that the taste was not bad, sweet and fragrant, and it was the fragrance of fruits.

Since there was no rice in the tribe at that time, he simply replaced it with fruit.

His first successful wine was actually fruit wine.

Good things can't be enjoyed alone, Fengyun took out the fruit wine during the meal, and let Bei, Hong and Zhu also taste it.

At first, they were a little hesitant, after all, they had never seen anything like this before.

However, out of trust in Fengyun, they still tasted it.

What happened next was much more than Fengyun expected.

He had thought that they would not be used to the taste of fruit wine, which was sweet and fragrant, but still a little spicy.

But as soon as they drank it, they became addicted and kept asking him to add it.

Coincidentally, Storm and Thunder also came to eat, which is something they often do.

They soon all had the same as Bey. I was very interested in fruit wine, especially Tyranny, so I simply snatched the jar of wine, held it firmly in my arms, and gave it to anyone.

Later, the fruit wine was violently given to Wu. Also got his like.

In short, almost without exception, all primitive people who have tasted fruit wine are very fond of it, even some women.

After the popularity of fruit wine, it began to be brewed on a large scale.

In particular, Storm is the most active, and even directly asked Fengyun for a way to make wine, and brewed it himself.

Soon after, Fengyun discovered that Storm had an extremely strong endowment in winemaking.

He only told him about the success of making fruit wine, and he developed several varieties in a short period of time. For example, Baihua wine with various petals, and multigrain wine made from a variety of grains.

Watching him put new varieties of wine in front of him, Fengyun felt incredible.

These newly developed liquor varieties are not sure that he can brew them himself.

These wines are already quite different from the original fruit wines, and the winemaking process is very different.

As a variety of different liquors were brewed, the people of the Flame Snake tribe became obsessed with it suddenly, and they drank it not only when they ate, but also on a daily basis.

Some people like Storm are heavily obsessed with alcohol. Even used it as a drink, thirsty. Instead of going to drink water, drink alcohol.

When you drink too much, problems arise, such as going crazy with alcohol, oversleeping and mishapting......

As there are more and more such incidents, Wu has to pay attention to it. Although he himself likes alcohol, he has self-control and has never made a mistake because of drinking.

He first issued a ban on alcohol, of course, not completely, but only demanded that people who had something to do should never drink alcohol.

Wu has absolute authority in the Flame Snake Tribe. Normally, his orders would be strictly enforced, but this time there was an accident.

Prohibition had little effect, and those who should drink were still drinking.

As soon as he saw that this was not going to work, he decided to catch one or two and punish them severely, so as to deter the others from disobeying his orders again.

He did, but it didn't work out well.

At first, his purpose was also achieved, and after punishing a few unlucky people, the drinking seemed to stop, but it didn't take long for a resurgence to occur.

To make matters worse, the conditions that arise from drinking alcohol have become more severe.

When there is no prohibition on alcohol, everyone can drink as much as they want.

But the wine is forbidden by witches, so they can't drink it casually, but they want to drink it, what?

It's very simple, when you get the opportunity, drink hard, drink hard, and drink too much, the adverse consequences of alcohol will naturally become more serious.

In the end, Wu really had no choice but to come to Fengyun and ask him for help.

This problem cannot be solved by Fengyun either.

Before the crossing, how many people thought about how to solve the problems caused by drinking, and they didn't succeed, how could he have any good solutions.

After the failure to find a solution to the problem, Wu appeared rather annoyed and frustrated, and gave a definition of wine, saying that it was the worst of all his inventions.

In this regard, Fengyun could only smile bitterly.

At the beginning of winemaking, he had no idea that primitive people would get used to the taste of wine so quickly and fall madly for it.

Although Fengyun was not able to give a complete solution to the problem of drinking, he did tell him some of the ways he knew how to deal with it, even though they only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.

After his return, the Witch lifted the prohibition of alcohol, but increased the punishment for those who drank and caused trouble.

At the same time, there were restrictions on brewing, and the original brewing of each house was changed to a centralized brewing.

Wu asked people to build a large winery, and some people were selected to work in the winery, specifically responsible for winemaking, and whoever wanted to drink wine would exchange it for wine.

The wine chip is a prop that Fengyun came up with to help Wu control the amount of alcohol people drink.

Only with a wine chip can you go to the winery to exchange for wine, otherwise the winery will never distribute wine.

Chips are distributed at the beginning of each month, and the amount of chips received depends on the contribution people have made to the tribe.

Those who contribute more to the tribe will receive more wine chips, and vice versa, they will receive less.

This is the rule that Fengyun and Wu came up with after discussing it.

Since you can't stop drinking, let's explore its good side and make good use of it, so that the tribe can also develop and grow faster.

As soon as this regulation was issued, people's enthusiasm suddenly increased, and they began to take the initiative to help the tribe do various things, and the whole tribe was a good sign of prosperity.

I saw that this trick worked.

Wu decided to go the extra mile and found Fengyun to see what else they could do with wine.

Later, they decided to expand the range of reward wine chips.

For example, there is a big competition every month, and those who get a good ranking, or who have greatly improved their strength, can get extra wine chips.

People's enthusiasm for exercising was detonated all at once, and many times, it was dark and some people were still training very hard.

Seeing that the effect was so good, Wu changed his opinion on wine and began to agree with Fengyun's words.

Nothing is absolutely bad, and nothing is absolutely good, the key is to look at how to guide, magnify the good side as much as possible, and suppress the bad side as much as possible.

In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Fengyun and Wu decided to expand the scope of the wine chip reward to everyone in the Flame Snake Tribe.

Ordinary people who can make outstanding contributions or perform well in their daily work can also be rewarded with wine chips.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fengyun also stood up, saying that if anyone can improve and improve the inventions and creations he has made before, or make new inventions, he will also reward them.

In view of Fengyun's great contribution to the tribe, everyone unanimously decided that even if Fengyun did nothing, they could receive a large amount of wine chips every month.

The amount of wine chips that Fengyun gets is indeed very large, reaching one-tenth of the total number of wine distributed each month.

Due to the huge attraction of wine to people, the wine chips that can be exchanged for wine have a monetary connotation to a certain extent, at least within the confines of the Flame Serpent Tribe, Fengyun can use them to exchange for the vast majority of things he wants.

With such a large amount of wine chips, he deservedly became the richest man in the Flame Snake Tribe, and even Wu was comparable to him.

Although the witches are in possession of a large number of goods that people have paid, the amount is far from being comparable to that of Fengyun, but they are the common property of the tribe.

If Wu wants to use it, it is good that the number is relatively small, but once it reaches a certain amount, he must consult the opinions of all the people of the Flame Snake Tribe, far less free than Fengyun and can be used at will.

Fengyun will take out his own wine chips to encourage everyone, because he understands that if a tribe wants to be truly strong, it is absolutely impossible to rely on one person alone, and it requires the joint efforts of everyone.

The key to the rapid growth of a tribe is whether the tribe has an innovative spirit, whether it can invent a variety of effective new tools, technologies, management methods, and so on.

At the same time, he also trusted the people of the Flame Snake tribe to make a difference.

Primitive people's brains are not stupid, and some of their actions will look relatively naïve or stupid in the eyes of Fengyun, and a large part of the reason is that their level of civilization and knowledge are not enough.

The primitive people did not live up to the trust of Fengyun.

It didn't take long for some success stories to appear.

Although these cases were only some changes to his inventions, and even some of the changes not only did not work well, but on the contrary made them worse, Fengyun still kept his promise and rewarded them.

What he really cared about was not how successful they were, but how they actually did it, and they used their brains in the process.

Once they develop the habit of thinking with their brains, Fengyun believes that it is not far from them to come up with new inventions.

What's more critical is that as long as a group of people who can use their hands and brains are cultivated, even if he doesn't do anything in the future, the development and growth of the Flame Snake Tribe will be inevitable. (To be continued.) )
