Chapter 241: Wanting To Deceive Again
"Brother Li, why does it smell like alcohol?" Sola asked knowingly.
"It seems that the third junior brother and the others are brewing wine." Er Niu replied with a smile.
"Wine making? I'll go and have a look. The wine brewed by Brother Leng must be good." Sola said with a smile on his face.
After speaking, he raised his leg, came to the door, and knocked hard.
"Brother Leng! Brother Leng!" Sola shouted loudly.
Er Niu secretly laughed in the background without saying a word.
The door opened, and Leng Rui poked his head out, and said with a smile: "You two come here, you are welcome! Forgive me, forgive me!"
"Brother Leng, secretly hiding here to make wine, and why don't you invite me to drink?" Sola yelled.
"This wine has just been brewed, and it's still not good. It will take a month or two before it tastes good." Leng Rui said with a wry smile.
"What kind of wine are you brewing? Why does it smell fruity?" Sola sniffled.
"Haha! Sola Dage, I'm free. I saw a lot of wild grapes on the mountain, so I tried to make wine, so I made some casually." Leng Rui said with a laugh.
"The wine made from wild grapes smells so good, come, come, let me have a taste!" Sola didn't care, and wanted to drink it directly.
Seeing that Sola must drink, Leng Rui smiled and filled a bowl.
The wine is red, slightly cloudy, with a fruity aroma.
Sola took the bowl, smelled it, and drank it down.
Then, he said, "This wine is much better than the one we make from sweet potatoes. But it's not as good as the wine from Shanghua."
The sweet potato that Sola mentioned is a plant unique to Donglai Prefecture. It can grow up in one year, two or three meters high, with lush branches and leaves.
Donglaizhou is mostly volcanic ash landform, the soil is soft and fertile, and sweet potatoes can grow in one year.
When harvesting, the Malu people only need to shake the trunk of the sweet potato tree vigorously, and soon a big tree falls down, exposing the long roots under the ground, which are as long and thick as human arms. The outer skin is brown, and the inside is white and edible. part.
When eating, peel off the outer skin, cook it, mash it into a paste, and eat it with your hands.
Leng Rui also tasted this sweet potato paste, it was bland and tasteless, it was full of starch.
Malu people also use potato paste to make wine, which is usually fermented naturally in a clay pot.
After the wine came out, it was a sticky soup, with the taste of wine, sour taste, and even a little smell.
But it is such an unpalatable wine, and the Malu people are also willing to eat it. A group of people surround the clay pot, one of them takes a straw straw, and inhales wildly. Shouting, extremely excited.
Well-known people like Sola and Tali usually drink wine bought or robbed in Shanghua Kingdom and Qichuan Island. I really ran out of wine, so I reluctantly drank some sweet potato wine.
Seeing So La's expression, Leng Rui smiled slightly and said, "You can't rush to make wine, it needs to be aged for a while before it tastes good. We have a master here, and we will brew some wine like Huaguo in the next few days."
"Do you also brew that kind of wine?" Sola didn't seem to believe it.
"Yes, come and drink new wine in a month."
"Good! Good!" Sora was happy, and agreed again and again.
...
Malu people are good at water, and usually eat fish, shrimp, sweet potatoes, and wild fruits, and rarely grow crops.
Leng Rui has found some scattered wild rice by the sea and river, and he plans to collect some and plant them on a large scale. After all, people in Shanghua are used to eating rice.
The wine was put into several large wooden barrels. Leng Rui didn't know if the wood was oak, but they looked similar in appearance, with a woody aroma.
They caught a few more bison cubs and came back, making everyone unclear.
"Leng Rui, are you going to raise cattle again?" Qing'er asked puzzled.
"No, the wine needs to be used." Leng Rui said with a smile.
"Want to put beef in the wine?" Qing'er's eyes were straightened.
"No, you'll know in two days!" Leng Rui said mysteriously.
A few days later, Leng Rui opened the wine barrel, and a strong aroma of wine came to his face.
"This wine tastes really good!" Several people around couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Can you drink?" Qing'er asked.
"Not yet!" Leng Rui said.
He took out a bowl, poured himself a cup and tasted it, saying: "It's still a bit sour, it's better to ripen it for a while!"
"I'll try it!" Dahu took the bowl, took a sip, smacked his lips, and raised his neck, the whole bowl of wine went into his belly.
"This wine is good, the alcohol content is not high, it is fragrant, sweet and a little astringent." Dahu said happily.
"I want to drink too!" Qing'er yelled.
Her family runs a wine shop, and she grew up soaking in wine, so she is no stranger to wine.
She didn't take a sip like a tiger and drank it all in one gulp, but like a doctor seeing a doctor, she used everything she saw, heard and asked.
Look at the color, smell the smell, take another sip, swirl on the tip of the tongue, and savor carefully.
"It's not bad, the color is like jade, the smell is fragrant, the mouth is soft, slightly sour, but it has a unique flavor."
Qing'er tasted it, and the evaluation is also good.
Leng Rui served another bowl for everyone to let everyone taste the new wine.
Leng Rui scooped out most of the wine in the barrel, and discarded the wine with more Impurities below.
"Eldest brother, kill those calves and bring the blood here."
Killing Leng Rui has never been timid, but he is still quite afraid of killing cattle, so he can only beg Duhu.
"Would you like us to eat beef today?" Dahu said with a smile.
"Yes, the meat will be eaten later, and the blood will be added to the wine."
"What? You add blood to the wine?" Qing'er turned pale when she heard that.
"Yes, there are impurities in this wine, add some blood to clarify." Leng Rui explained.
"It's disgusting! Can this work?" Qing'er looked disgusted.
"Haha! Look!" Leng Rui laughed.
Duhu and his gang were also stunned. This was the first time they had heard of adding blood to wine.
However, everyone is not surprised anymore, they have seen Leng Rui's tossing around a lot.
"Qing'er, there is something else I need to trouble you with." Leng Rui said.
"What's up?"
"Can you make this wine song?" Leng Rui said.
He probably knows how to make distiller's yeast on earth. It's nothing more than steaming rice, adding spicy Polygonum, Duckweed, etc. to ferment.
But he really doesn't know what to use to repair the Immortal World here.
"Hehe! This is a trivial matter, and I have learned it since I was a child. What are you doing? You want to make wine?" Qing'er said with a smile.
"Yes, there are sweet potatoes all over the place, it's a pity not to make wine!" Leng Rui said with a grimace.
"That wine is terrible! It's far worse than ours." Jing'er looked disgusted.
"Haha! You don't need to compare with your family, as long as it is better than the Malu people!" Leng Rui laughed mysteriously.
"Damn! You want to lie again!" Qing'er said with her eyes wide open.
