Kaichi walked into the cellar and brought out a small oak barrel, which was the wine he had made, and he wanted to see how it was. Jia Yi doesn't actually know how to make wine, he only knows how to distill, but there is no sorghum rice here, not even sugar cane, so he doesn't know what base liquor to use for distillation.

He tried to distill it with wheat wine, but there was always a smell of rubber when it was steamed, which was weird, so he had to give up, he had heard of such a thing as high-grade beer, and the price was not cheap, but it was certainly not brewed, there was a special process. Ordinary beer, the highest is only 5 or 6 degrees, and the 8 degrees and 12 degrees we generally see are malt concentration, not alcohol content.

Therefore, Jiayi's wine does not have ale wine, he is looking for wild fruits and grapes in the mountains to make wine. He himself can't really tell whether the wine is good or bad, but everyone who has drunk it thinks it's good.

One of Imu's favorites is the Tranquility Gin, which is made from wild fruits of different types, and then added gin powder to the brewed liquor and then distilled. After distillation, the juice extracted from the ice crystal grass is added and aged in oak barrels.

When you take the mouth, you can only feel a crisp sensation falling into your stomach, like a sip of ice water, and the aroma of juniper berries. After drinking this kind of sake, it feels like it is not drinking alcohol, and you can't help but drink more. But after waiting for a while, the drinks will explode together, making people instantly drunk.

Jia Yi used this wine to make Dai'er, she didn't think it at the time, and then she got drunk and went crazy to see who hit whom. Probably because of the ice crystal grass juice, this wine is refreshed the next day after getting drunk, and there is no hangover at all.

So while mages shouldn't drink alcohol, Imu prefers to drink a little of it before going to bed. Kaichi doesn't have any special preferences, but sometimes he likes to have a drink, but he never gets drunk.

Jiayi is actually a bit of an alcoholic, but he doesn't like to get drunk, he likes to drink alone, regardless of what others do, just feel satisfied, simple and happy.

Ever since he discovered the effects of Gazing Gin, he has tried to add other messy magic herbs, but to no avail, and he has not received a new one with special effects.

Kaichi didn't know why this was happening.

But fortunately, Jiayi is indeed talented in the cultivation of fungi, and he has used his free time to cultivate yeast for sake brewing in recent years, but he has screened out good yeast, and the quality of the wine made from these yeasts is actually not bad.

He carried a small barrel to the door, where a table had been set up and Dale and Flower were seated. Imu went to the provincial capital today, so they sat here to taste the wine that Jiayi had brought out. If Imu was at home, they would never dare to do that.

"What kind of wine is this?" asked Flower when he saw the barrel that Jia Yi had brought out.

Dale doesn't care about alcohol, but Flower prefers to drink, especially high-spirited wine.

However, although Kaichi doesn't like low-alcohol wine with a single-digit alcohol content, he also doesn't like wine with too high a alcohol content, so it's easy to get drunk. Therefore, even if the liquor made by Jiayi is distilled, the degree will not be very high, and he will generally mix each batch of distilled liquor regardless of the degree, raise it in a large wooden barrel for a period of time, and then divide it into small barrels for aging.

"Fruit wine, made from the fruit of the mountains picked last fall. How about taking it out and tasting it now. ”

First, the materials are limited, and there is a lack of other staple food plants except wheat. Second, Jiayi does not deliberately control the proportion of materials and the blending of alcohol, so the quality of each batch of wine made by Jiayi is different, not only the alcohol content, but also the flavor of the wine is different every year.

If it is sold, this kind of uncontrollable quality wine is not qualified, but if you drink it yourself, it doesn't matter, it is easy to have a sense of anticipation when the wine is different from year to year, just like opening a treasure chest in a game.

Kaichi put down the barrel and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get some snacks." ”

After saying that, he went back to the pantry, filled a plate with a piece of dried meat, thought for a while, and took out another ham, this ham had been cut, and the cut surface had a bright red color, he removed the preservation technique on it, cut a few slices, and then spent a lot of effort to bless the preservation technique on the ham.

This ham is still bizarre, Jia Yi watched "Tip of the Tongue" in his last life has a production method of Nuodeng ham, at that time I thought it was very simple, after coming to the town, the living conditions at home were good and I tried to make ham, at that time "Tip of the Tongue" said that more than three years of ham can be eaten raw, Jia Yi wanted to store it for a while longer.

But I didn't expect to forget it.

It wasn't until some time ago, when Jia Yi came home, that Erica asked him if he could still have the pork hind legs hanging in the storeroom at home, and Jia Yi remembered that he had made ham.

Fortunately, there is really no problem with raw ham that has been fermented for 4 or 5 years, if you are not afraid of saltiness.

By the time the snack was out, Flower had already opened the barrel and poured it into the glass.

"How's it going?" asked Kaichi as he put down his plate.

As a winemaker, he certainly wants his work to be well received.

Flower pinched a small slice of ham and put it in his mouth to chew, then took a sip of fruit wine, and said: "The taste is not bad, the wine is relatively rich, although it is distilled, but the aroma of the fruit is relatively rich, but the aftertaste is a little bitter, what's the matter?"

As far as wine tasting is concerned, Flower is better than Jiayi, how to say that he is also a nobleman, and wine tasting is learned. But Jia Yi can't, although Jia Yi's tongue is much more sensitive than Flower's, and he can even distinguish the various subtle ingredients in the wine - there is no such BT in the original, but the magic of Tai Chi seems to deepen the sensitivity of the body's various senses.

Even so, he was able to tell the difference between each batch, but he couldn't express it, and he didn't know if it was a good wine for anyone else. Therefore, the wine brewed by Jiayi is in line with its own taste, relatively light and soft.

Jia Yi listened to Flor's words, and also took a sip, and tasted it carefully in his mouth: "It should be the reason for the crumb fruit, the crumb fruit is rich in fire magic, I thought about adding this, so that the wine can be more resistant to the cold, but I didn't expect the crumb fruit to react with the alcohol, resulting in a bitter taste, but fortunately, the bitterness is not too strong." ”

After saying that, he also pinched a small slice of ham and put it in his mouth, and added another sip of wine.

"But I don't feel that drinking this wine has any special effect on the cold," said Flower, "so I want to concentrate and explode at the end."

"No, it should be invalid. ”

Jiayi's answer was very crisp, which made Flower stunned for a moment, feeling that he was not talking about himself, and he was not taboo at all.

"Your ham tastes good, but it's too salty, why don't you make it lighter?"

Jiayi's ham actually tastes good, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, and there is a special flavor, plus there is no ham produced in the vicinity, for Flower they are both delicious and novel, so they still prefer to eat it, and it doesn't matter if you eat it raw. But when Jia Yi was afraid of bad when he made it, he touched a lot of salt, which caused the taste to be very salty, and the thin slices he cut now were already the meat inside the selected ham, but it was still very salty, so they would take a sip of wine and press it every time they tasted it.

It's quite a drink.

"The first time I did it, of course there would be a problem, and I didn't know how to do magic at the time, so I couldn't help it. Now, I can manually insert the strains and kill them magically, so that the ham can be marinated with a low concentration of salt. ”

Flower didn't understand what Jia Yi meant, what sterilization, bacteria, can only be simply thought of as removing toxins, but he can use less salt, so that the ham is not so salty, he still understands.

"Then why don't you do it?"

"What a waste of time, there's no interest in doing this now. I'll teach you this method, and there will be another specialty in the territory in the future, so you just need to give me some every year and give me some shares in my family. Kaichi said suddenly.

Flower felt stunned, thinking that this was too much of Jiayi's advantage, you know, in this era, every unique craft is strictly confidential, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an heirloom.

"Forget it, forget it!" Flauer was still a little shy, and his cheeks had not yet been practiced.

Although Flower refuses, Kaichi thinks it's a good idea. In the future, Jia Yi will definitely go out to travel, so that there will be no armed forces to protect the family, and he doesn't want to leave too many money-making things for the family, first, Gary and Erica have limited knowledge, and they may not be able to develop greatly, and second, if they are too rich, it is easy to attract the covetousness of others, and now this is good.

Although Kaichi has already learned magic, he is still only a magic apprentice, and he cannot shelter his family. But when you become a magician, you will definitely go out to travel, and you may even go to school at Longgen Academy, and you can't stay at home, and you can't protect the safety of your family. Now the traffic conditions are inconvenient, and if you think that Jia Yi died outside, it will be bad to have any thoughts about his family. And if there are any bandits who come over, they will definitely have no scruples.

Therefore, Jiayi has never dared to give more benefits to his family, just to avoid indigestion.

He now wants his younger brother to learn the way of knighthood from the lord's family, and his sister is also studying under his own sponsorship to develop in the direction of a scholar. As long as the two of them can grow up, Gary can be regarded as having a foundation, especially the knight, who is not as unique as a magician, and can better maintain the development of the family.

Therefore, Jiayi and Raul are not only good for the friendship between classmates and friends, but also selfish, hoping to give more care to their family when they go out to travel in the future.

After all, the time to go out to study doesn't seem to be short, even if it's not like in the novels of cultivating immortals, it is not a few hundred or thousands of years of retreat, and it is not enough for one or two years.
