Chapter 13 Home-Brewed Wine
(Thanks to the law friends, this book received the first reward.) οΌ
After selling the dragon root grass and earning a lot of spirit stones, the four of them were happy, so they naturally wanted to celebrate.
Huangfu Shang took the lead and said: "Everyone has worked hard today, and whatever you want to buy, it's all mine." Brother, don't you keep talking about what kind of wine to drink, let's buy it later. β
Ren Tiantang was disrespectful: "Senior brother, I'm just waiting for your words." Let's go!"
With everyone, kill to buy the fine wine Qin Yuanchun he said, the wine is sold to the sister flowers, the water spirit is outstanding, and the people who come to buy wine are endless, comparable to the fine wine Shih Tzu.
Huang Fushang made fun of him while queuing up: "No wonder you always say you want to come, it turns out that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." β
Ren Tiantang waved his hand again and again: "Senior brother, you found this place, and if you want to say it, you have bad intentions first." β
didn't want to listen to the two of them laughing, but Nangong Meng dragged Murong Blizzard to go elsewhere, and the two sides agreed to meet in a nearby pavilion.
Huangfu Shang bought wine and went back, and on the way, he did not forget to take the opportunity to inquire about the situation of Tianyuan Sect, especially his father's situation.
Ren Tiantang revealed some to him, saying that although Huangfude was under some pressure after he left, the haze was quickly dispelled, and everything in the sect was normal at present.
It's just that the number of cultivators has increased dramatically over the years, but the qualifications of personnel have fallen into the sand, so the major sects are not having a good time.
Huangfu Shang nodded, thinking that the competition was big, and it would not be easy anywhere.
When I arrived at the pavilion, I didn't expect Nangong Meng to actually buy pastries and fruits, as well as stinky tofu or something, and ate them first.
Huangfu Shang couldn't help but shake his head, and then he wanted to say that you are more polite than before, why are you still so greedy.
As a monk, you don't want to cut off the six desires, strive to achieve enlightenment and ascend, and still miss the mortal food, you are really speechless.
Nangong Meng didn't care what he said, he only had a hot fight with Murong Blizzard, and the two of them became friends who talked about everything again?
Helplessly, pick up the wine and do it yourself, no matter what she does.
A few people changed the wine, but drank it, except for Murong Blizzard, who felt average, Nangong Meng and Ren Tiantang both smacked their lips and said that it was good.
After tasting it carefully, Huangfu felt that it was only the level of bottled cocktails in the supermarket, and it was estimated that the world's winemaking technology was average, so this could also be regarded as a good wine?
He took a few more sips, but recalled all kinds of drinks on the earth, such as Coke and Sprite that he used to drink when he was a child, as well as the legendary Jianlibao and Eye-catching, and he really remembered that it was all tears.
Drinking and drinking, others were more and more hearty, but he unconsciously shed a few tears, stood up and sighed: "What if you cultivate immortals and cultivate immortals, what if you become immortals? Without a colorful entertainment life, life is not as boring." If you can hold iced tea in your hand, eat HΓ€agen-Dazs, watch a big American movie, and have a beautiful woman by your side, wouldn't it be the pinnacle of life?"
No, he saw the white eyes of the other three, and it seemed that he was a monster with poor drinking, and he felt a sense of contempt.
He suddenly had a special idea, he has endless treasures in the Scripture Pavilion, can't he get a book of wine-making secrets, homemade wine and even fruit-flavored drinks, and also mass production.
That's right, Lao Tzu wants to be a big capitalist in the cultivation realm, build a cross-plane monopoly company, and conquer the Three Realms.
immediately made a grand wish, but he wanted to be a different kind of adventurer in cultivation.
Then he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and after drinking bitterly, he broke up with Ren Tiantang and went back.
was sent back to the mountain by Murong Blizzard and the two, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, talking in their dreams.
Thinking about how to show off his strength and how to make a peerless wine, Nangong Meng, who was about to fall asleep when he heard it, actually drooled.
Later, with a plop, Huangfu Shang rolled out of bed, and followed Nangong Meng to turn over and fall down.
Both of them lay on the ground and said in a daze: "Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"
"You don't sleep, and whatever you say about making wine, I'm hungry to death. β
Nangong Meng kicked him in the shin regardless of etiquette and asked, "Senior brother, what is the matter with you saying that you want to make wine?"
Huangfu Shang only felt a headache, and he couldn't sleep, so he simply got up: "What are you doing, it's really bad to drink too much." I'll go to the Scripture Pavilion, and you can continue sleepwalking. β
He picked up the futon, went to the Scripture Pavilion, and stared at it for a while before he became conscious.
Unconsciously carried the Northern Spiritual Skill, and dissolved the undispersed wine in the body.
When he opened his eyes and looked at everything in the Scripture Pavilion, he suddenly became interested.
Since he had no intention of sleeping, he simply picked up the lamp and fought at night and worked hard, so he lit the lamp in the pavilion and looked for books to read.
took out the token, opened the scripture cabinet, put forward his own needs, and soon a cheatbook flew out of the bookcase and landed in his hand.
As soon as he saw the name, it was "The Atlas of the God of Food", and Huangfu Shang suddenly trembled, saying that this is too profound, and the profession is somewhat wrong.
I flipped through it at will, but it recorded a variety of food practices, and there were still many ancient methods, including brewing.
Then take a closer look at the records of the sake brewing chapter, which contains the brewing methods of various fine wines, including the production process of fruit juice drinks.
Obviously, it is an improved version, and the most important thing is that these methods are mostly made of spirit fruit and spirit grass, and the wine made is also more suitable for cultivators to drink, and it is delicious and has extraordinary effects.
Huangfu still thought about it, the most important drink in later generations is the recipe of citric acid, because it is dissolved in water, it will produce a large number of bubbles rich in carbon dioxide, so it is called carbonated drink.
This kind of thing is estimated to be drunk by mortals, but cultivators are afraid that it is useless.
However, ordinary juices and liquors are not easy to preserve, so you must find a container to seal them.
Therefore, I plan to use citrus and sour plum as a base and try to make a few kinds of juice first.
Think about all the procedures that night, rest in peace, and do things tomorrow.
When he woke up early in the morning, he bought a batch of citrus and sour plums, as well as a number of jars and jars for making juice.
The two fruits are first mashed and juiced with a stone mortar, and then mixed with raw sugar and other raw materials, sealed and packed in a jar, and brewed.
He also took out some of the juice squeezed from citrus and wanted to make some citric acid, which he made according to the record in the "God of Food Atlas" and used the most primitive method.
The filtered residue of citrus juice is mixed with some lime powder (the raw material of calcium carbonate) to remove the crystals and try to make your own citric acid.
Unfortunately, after several experiments, it was found that this road was not successful at all.
The citric acid made is either tasteless, or it cannot be used at all, and the technology is too immature.
Huang Fushang, who was immediately disappointed, had to find another way, he looked at the "God of Food Atlas" carefully, and when he was tired of watching it, he went to see "Immortal Family Cultivation", and suddenly thought of an idea.
Our own spiritual spring is a unique ingredient, so why not use it to make juice?
If you squeeze the juice of the fruit and mix it with spring water, you may be able to drink it with an extraordinary taste.
So he decisively experimented, mixed with half a bowl of water and half a bowl of juice, plus a small cup of spring water, sealed overnight and then taken out to taste, the taste aura is not ordinary abundant, and the taste is not ordinary delicious.
It's just that the aura is too abundant, if it is a monk with a high realm, it is natural that he can't ask for it, and ordinary mortals can't bear it.
Therefore, we had to constantly improve the recipe, reduce the dose of spring water, and try to make a juice suitable for all ages.
Until one day he failed again, so he simply stopped experimenting, went out for a walk, and relaxed.
Ren Tiantang accompanied him to the market, and after a few turns, the emperor was still talking and laughing, and he seemed to be wandering around as if there was nothing like that.
It wasn't until the market was about to close that he unexpectedly turned to a stall, and it was the one who sold beauty incense before, and this time he actually bought a new spirit grass, called lark grass.
It is still said that it is something extraterritorial, and there are few here, but unfortunately no one knows the goods.
Huangfu Shang stopped to watch, picked up the lark grass and smelled it, and suddenly his heart was happy, he remembered that there was a record of this kind of spirit grass in the planting technique.
It is said that it can mix fragrance and concentrate on rest, and can be used as a medicinal herb for cultivators to calm the nerves, and can also be used as a seasoning in food.
If this spiritual grass is used, combined with the effect of spring water, maybe the aura of the juice will be reduced, and it will be more suitable for ordinary cultivators to drink?
At the moment, he gave all the other party's stockings to Bao Yuan, and bought 200 larks at once.
After taking it back, the big guys were stunned, saying Why are you buying so much spirit grass, Ren Tiantang also explained that he persuaded him, but people didn't listen.
Murong Blizzard is knowledgeable, but said that although this kind of spirit grass is rare, it is only used to calm the nerves, do you want to use it as a condiment?
In the face of ridicule, Huangfu Shang did not respond, but just put away the lark grass and prepared to start.
First, take a few trees for experiments, wash and chop, boil them into juice, mix them with spiritual springs and juice, and remix them into new juices.
Because the dose of the spiritual spring was reduced to the minimum, and a large amount of juice was mixed in, the original spiritual energy was actually reduced.
He invited Nangong Meng and Ren Tiantang to taste it, these two people couldn't drink it at all, they only said that it was sweet and average.
Huangfu couldn't help but be disappointed, so he had to continue to mix and change the dosage in order to make the most suitable juice.
Who knew that he was busy until the next day, and when he was about to continue his efforts, Nangong Meng was in high spirits earlier than him, saying that he wanted to give his senior brother a hand.
Huangfu Shangwei said: "What are you doing a long time ago, don't you not like this thing?"
Nangong Meng said: "Who said that, senior brother is working so hard for the sect, how can I not work hard?
The result was that he came for the drink, and Huangfu was still surprised, and Ren Tiantang's kid also came, and said in a hurry: "Senior brother, do you still have any juice, give me some too." I went back last night and didn't sleep all night, it was so delicious. β
Seeing this, Huangfu Shang directly put the stall away: "Your sister, why didn't you say it a long time ago, Lao Tzu's formula has been changed several times, who helped me?"
