Chapter 431

Although Chang Zijin and Li Erni didn't drink at all, they were very excited when they saw everyone drinking in full swing, and were infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere. Bigwolf and Zeng Yong also blushed from drinking, and Liu Miezhou still tasted it, just meaning .

On the spur of the moment, Zeng Yong also started toasting in turn, but his drinking capacity was really average, and he staggered a little before he was halfway through the circle, Li Erni hurriedly helped him sit down.

Bigwolf can drink a lot, seeing that Zeng Yong didn't finish his circle, he rushed up to "complete the task" for his brother!
The heroes were already at the end of their battles, and they were "beaten" by Feng Jiuxiao, and now they were "beaten" by Bigwolf again, and suddenly they were "defeated like a mountain", and became drunk countless times!
In front of Elder Jin Guang, the whole scene suddenly became more and more "smoky", and all the heroes who were originally heroic and dry are now "revealing their original forms"!
Some got drunk on the spot and it was fine, while others "brightened the sea and the sky" on the spot and vomited all over the place!

Chang Zijin, Li Erni and others also feel that these people are too unsightly now!
Fortunately, there is no woman in Fengyue Field here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!Some people are already talking nonsense!
Fortunately, Chang Zijin and Li Erni have been around the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they are not surprised when they see each other, but Yu Nu has an embarrassed face!

Seeing this, Feng Jiuxiao also felt something was wrong, so she smiled and said to Yu'er: "Miss Yu'er, you and your mother go to the wing room to rest first, and your father will reunite with you in a while."

When Yu'er heard this, she took Yu Nu's hand and walked to the wing.Feng Jiuxiao was really envious of Liu Miezhou having such a well-behaved daughter, and he suddenly dreamed of having such a daughter himself in the future.

Looking at the swaying heroes, Feng Jiuxiao didn't dislike these quacks!Everyone reveals their most frank side under the anesthesia of alcohol. This is the expression of true temperament. If anyone is abnormally sober at this time, there are only two situations: one is not to drink at all, and to deal with the matter in vain , acting on every occasion, this kind of person is terrible!The second is that he has an astonishing amount of alcohol, never gets drunk after a thousand cups, and keeps watching with cold eyes from beginning to end. This kind of person is also terrible!Feng Jiuxiao thought to himself: I am born with the ability to drink, and I am invincible in the world, even if the devil is not necessarily my opponent!Big Worf is even more talented, and his drinking capacity is not inferior to his own!The rest of the people in front of them can't be said to be drunk every time they drink, but their drinking capacity is really average!
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly traveled thousands of miles.

He suddenly had infinite reverie about wine!
"Shen Nong's Materia Medica" records that wine originated in the ancient Shen Nong era.The earliest wine should be fruit wine and rice wine.

The Spring and Autumn Period was an era in which wine making and drinking were both prosperous.People not only use "natural fermentation" to make wine, but also create wine made from corn millet, and quite generally master the "solid-state fermentation method" and "double fermentation method" to make wine. "Shangshu·Shuoming" records the dialogue between Yin Wang Wuding and his ministers: "If you make wine, you will call it koji." Qu is the mother of wine, also known as koji;Both the koji brewing method and the tiller brewing method are "solid-state fermentation methods", but the koji brewing method overcomes the shortcomings of the high saccharification and low alcoholization of the tiller brewing method, and enables the two steps of saccharification and alcoholization to be carried out at the same time, catalyzing each other, and improving the fermentation process. The quality of winemaking shortens the winemaking process, so it is called "double fermentation method".

There are too many legends about wine!There have always been three legends about ape making wine, Yidi making wine, and Du Kang making wine!

First, about apes making wine.Apes live by collecting wild fruits, and they are good at hiding fruits.In nature, the growth of fruit has strict seasonality, so it is often necessary to store it.The ancient apes in the prehistoric era hid the inexhaustible fruits in caves and stone depressions. Over time, the fruits rotted, and the wild fruits containing sugar were naturally fermented by wild yeasts in nature to produce alcohol and wine syrup. There are legends such as "good at picking a hundred flowers to make wine", "tasting ape wine in the depths of Shiyan" and so on!

"Penglong Night Talk" and "Zi Tao Xuan You Zhu" all mention the story of Huangshan ape making wine. "There are many apes in Huangshan. In spring and summer, mixed flowers and fruits are picked in stone depressions, and brewed into wine. The aroma is overflowing, and you can smell it for hundreds of steps. Those who go deep into the wild woods may have to drink it secretly. Not too much, more will reduce the traces of wine. In other words, if you get someone to serve you, you will surely die."

"Notes on Eastern Guangdong" and "Occasional Records on Western Guangdong" both describe the stories of apes making wine in Guangdong and Guangxi. "There are many children in Qiongzhou...the ape wine was tasted in the depths of the rock. The ape wine is made of rice mixed with flowers. There are about five or six liters in one stone cave. The taste is the most spicy, but it is extremely rare."

"There are many apes in the mountains of Pingle and other prefectures in western Guangdong, and they are good at picking hundreds of flowers to make wine. Woodcutters enter the mountains and find their lairs, and the wine can be as large as hundreds of stones. Drinking it, it is very fragrant and delicious, and it is called ape wine."

The second is Yidi's theory of wine making.Yidi wine making is the most popular theory, and it is believed that Yidi is the ancestor of wine making.In the "Shiben" compiled by historians in the pre-Qin period, there is a saying that "Yi Di began to make wine mash".

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" says: Yi Di makes wine.The "Warring States Policy" edited by Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty records: In the past, the emperor ordered Yidi to make wine to make it beautiful, and Yu entered it, and Yu drank it sweetly. And Juezhi wine.

The third is Du Kang's theory of wine making.Du Kang makes wine, this kind of saying is very popular among the people, except for some literati who say so!

The key is word of mouth, especially because Cao Cao's Yuefu poem "Duan Ge Xing" mentioned "How to solve the excellent, only Du Kang" and became popular!Here, Du Kang is synonymous with wine, so people regard Du Mingkang as the ancestor of wine making!

Nowadays, there are still many commentators on this poem who interpret Du Kang as the earliest brewer!
It is said that Du Kang was a minister under the Yellow Emperor.At that time, after Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and identified five grains, people began to cultivate land to grow grain.Du Kang was ordered to manage the production and preservation of grain and was very responsible.Because the land is fertile and the weather is good, the harvests are abundant year after year, and more and more grains are harvested. However, because there is no warehouse and scientific storage methods, the harvested grains are piled up in caves. Over time, all the grains are moldy due to humidity.When the Yellow Emperor found out about this incident, he was very angry and ordered Du Kang to take full-time responsibility for food storage. If there was any mildew, he would be punished severely.Du Kang was suddenly reduced from a minister in charge of grain production to a grain depot, and he felt very sad.But he also thought of Luozu, Fenghou, Cangjie and other ministers who all made inventions and made great contributions.Luozu invented silk reeling, Fenghou invented the compass cart, and Cangjie invented writing.Only I have no credit for it, and I have committed a crime.Thinking of this, his anger disappeared, and he secretly made up his mind: he must do a good job in food storage.

Afterwards, Du Kang found an open field in the forest, and several big trees around were dead, leaving only thick trunks, and the inside was empty.Du Kang had an idea, he thought, if the grain is packed in the tree hole, maybe it won't be moldy.So, he hollowed out all the dead trees in the forest one by one.In a few days, all the grain that had been laid was packed into the tree hole.Unexpectedly, two years later, the grain packed in the tree hole slowly fermented after being blown by the wind, sun, and rain.One day, when Du Kang went up the mountain to check the grain, he suddenly found several goats, wild boars and rabbits lying around a dead tree with grain.At first he thought that these beasts were all dead, but when he got closer, he found that they were still alive, and seemed to be asleep.Du Kang couldn't figure out the reason for a while, and was still wondering, a wild boar woke up.As soon as it saw the person coming, it immediately ran into the woods.Immediately afterwards, the goats and rabbits woke up one by one and ran away.Du Kang didn't bring a bow and arrow when he went up the mountain, so he didn't chase him either.He was about to go back when he found two goats licking something with their tongues, bowing their heads in front of the tree hole containing grain.Du Kang hurriedly hid behind a big tree to observe, and saw two goats licked for a while, then staggered, and lay down on the ground after walking a short distance.Du Kang quickly ran over to tie up the two goats.Then he carefully inspected the place where the goat had just licked with his tongue.Just don't look at it, Du Kang was taken aback by seeing it.The tree hole where the food was originally stored had a crack, and the water inside kept seeping out. The goats, wild boars and rabbits fell to the ground after licking the water.Du Kang sniffed it with his nose, and the oozing water was very fragrant, so he couldn't help but tasted it too.Although the taste is a bit spicy, it is particularly mellow.The more he tasted it, the more he wanted to taste it, and finally took a few sips in a row.It didn't matter if he drank it, for a moment, he felt dizzy, and just took two steps forward, he fell to the ground involuntarily and fell into a drowsy sleep.

After waking up, Du Kang filled half a can of the fragrant water seeping out of the tree hole to find the Yellow Emperor.After hearing this, the Yellow Emperor carefully tasted the fragrant water brought by Du Kang, and immediately discussed the matter with the ministers.The ministers agreed that this is a kind of vitality in the grain, not poisonous water.Huang Di did not blame Du Kang, but ordered him to continue to observe and carefully ponder the truth.He also ordered Cangjie to give the water with a strong fragrance a name.Cang Jie said casually: "This water is fragrant and mellow, drink it and you will feel refreshed."

Drinking to get the gods is called wine!
