our family is gone

Chapter 493 Wine Tasting
And when it comes to food, William has worked hard. First of all, he can no longer eat raw meat, it is all cooked meat, and there is no trace of blood.

At the same time, the food rations have gradually changed from pure meat to mature mixed dog food, and finally gradually changed to mainly dog ​​food, with dried meat as snacks.

This is also a kind of subtle domestication, changing the wolf's diet structure and killing the wildness.

But the cost of dog food is not cheap at all. It consists of chicken, fish, offal, etc. These are just the main parts.

Vegetables and fruits, bone meal and fish oil must also be added, and starch must be added to adjust.

William may not know the principle, but Lance can see the combination of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and unsaturated fatty acids, the key ingredients required by life, even though Lance himself does not eat such a nutritionally balanced diet.

It can only be said that William must have some unique skills passed down from his family, and he is worthy of being a professional dog trainer.

Human food is not as good as dogs. This is not just a modern phenomenon, but has existed since ancient times.

Because ordinary people can't afford this thing. Otherwise, why would the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning hounds is nobles and wealthy families?

If Hamlet hadn't been rich in fishery resources and fish meat was cheap, he would have really felt distressed.

What's more important is that these wolves are all pregnant female wolves, so Lance looks away.

Because the mother's debt is paid by the son, the wolf pups in the future will be the offspring of military dogs and police dogs. They are not paid, so there is no need to punish them harshly.

Not to mention people in this place, even dogs have to be loyal to Hamlet.

Entering it, you can see the wolves lying in the den through the fence. Last time, their hair was messy and their bodies were injured, but now their fur is shiny and smooth, and they look fatter overall.

Especially the belly has been vaguely bulging, which is the bloodline left in reality after the spiritual power of prosperity ascended.

You don't have to worry about eating and drinking here. There is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no danger. Every day when you are full, you can lie down and bask in the sun, and when you are full of sleep, you can continue to wait for the meal.

This is what I do every morning when I wake up, nothing else~
Lance walked over there, and the wolves ignored him, because William said that desensitization training is an important step in socialization.

Directly arrange the rotation of people. During this period, the rotation has changed from every three days to now, people are drawn from the training camp to feed them every day. There is no need to worry about the wolf's reaction, just put down the food and leave.

This is to gradually let the wolves understand that humans come here to give them delicious food and will not harm them. Once they get used to it, that's it.

Those in the same training camp may also partner with these wolves in the future, which can be regarded as getting familiar with each other in advance.

In the past, I had to howl a few times when I met a stranger, but now I don't even bother to raise my head when I see someone coming over, and no one will look down on you unless you serve me a meal.

Those who say that wolves will never be tamed are purely cerebral palsy, there is no tamed wolf?Why is there a dog?
Could it be that the first dog was his father?
These wild wolves must be wild enough. All of them, including food and shelter, are now lying flat without showing any aggression.

But even in this way, the area where humans move and the area where wolves move are separated. What Lance needs is a tame wolf, not a biting mad dog.

But just feeding them now is far from taming them. They don't seem to be dangerous and there is no reason to let them out.

Dogs will bite anyway, let alone wolves.

Because these wolves are all pregnant, no staff comes here except for meal time and outdoor play time, only the veterans who look after the place.

But now there is a special case here.

Lance looked at Boudica who was squatting in front of a wolf den, trying to tease the female wolf through the fence.

He had no intention of hiding his actions, and Boudica quickly noticed the lord walking towards her.

"Boss, why are you here?"

"Come and take a look." Lance did not directly say that he was looking for her, but joked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that it will bite you?"

"You're good! I've fed them a few times and they haven't bared their teeth at me. It's not like Wangcai's dog, which can't even be touched." Boudica smiled and dangled the grass in her hand in front of the female wolf, and the female wolf The wolf simply looked disgusted and ignored her.

Lance focused his attention on the female wolf being harassed by Boudica. He could see that Boudica had been annoyed with this female wolf for a while, because Lance could see the impatience in its wolf eyes. But there was no obvious resistance, obviously he knew that he couldn't beat him and he would be defeated.

"Why do you want to come here to play? Are you feeling well?"

"It's been fine for a long time. I was lying on the bed and no one even said a word, so I came out to take a look." Boudica's smile also subsided, and her expression was a little disappointed. "The boss is busy, and the eldest sister is also busy. We are all busy, so be busy..."

Most people in the town also recognized Boudica as someone close to the lord, but she was different from Greendale in her natural affinity. Her personality was not lovable, and she had no topics of conversation with others.

Also, she can't do anything but fight, unlike everyone else who has a job.

Before he stopped drinking, he could still go to the pub to drink, brag and pick fights, but the trouble alarmed Lance and he became honest after receiving an iron fist.

There was no more drinking and fighting, and Lance and Greendale were both busy, which meant that she didn't even have anyone to talk to if she wasn't on a mission, so she ended up looking for a wolf to talk to.

No wonder she was so active every time she went to kill monsters. That was the rare time she was needed.

Lance sounded nice, but in fact he didn't pay much attention to her. Instead, he controlled her everywhere.

"It's not my fault, I've been a little busy these days." Looking at her like this, Lance could only smile helplessly. "Let's go back with me."

"What are you going back for?" Although Boudica said this, she still stood up.

"I promised you before that I'll let you drink as much as you can after you recover."

"Really!" Upon hearing these words, Boudica suddenly lost her previous depression, and her whole body visibly came to life.

"When have I ever lied to you? And there's something more exciting than beer."

"Great!"

The cheer even woke up the wolves.

He just glanced up, turned around and continued to lie down.

What's the dog's name?Should we let the wolf sleep?
Boudica was still easy to coax, and Lance led her home. A few words along the way made her forget her feelings of being ignored.

Lance knew that her drinking capacity was average, and he was already prepared for her to go crazy with alcohol, so he took her back to the room directly to avoid embarrassment.

"This is craft beer, this is a newly brewed fruit-flavored wine, and this is distilled wine."

Lance took out the wine, but it aroused Boudica's curiosity.

"Why is there only one bottle of this?"

"You'll know when you drink it."

Lance smiled and said nothing, Boudica was not afraid, and went straight to take it, but Lance raised his hand and pressed it down.

"They're all yours, but try the other two first, otherwise you won't be able to taste them later."

Lance's behavior not only failed to suppress Boudica's curiosity, but actually made it worse.

But there was no nonsense, she just grabbed a bottle of beer. When she pulled out the bottle cap, just listening to the sound of bubbles made her feel inexplicably relieved, not to mention that the smell of alcohol that was several times stronger than usual appeared from the mouth of the bottle and seemed to be entering her nose. Drill.

I already had an obsession after giving up drinking for a month, but now I couldn't bear it anymore. I didn't even wait to pour it into the glass, so I blew directly into the bottle. "It's great!" Boudica took a big sip, and when she let go, she raised her head and shouted, and then burst out another wine burp, "Uh~!"

"What does it smell like?" Lance asked.

But these words made things difficult for her. She really didn't feel anything from that bite just now.

"I didn't drink it. Wait for me to taste it again."

After that, he took another sip, smacked his mouth without saying anything, turned around and took another sip. He had already finished half the bottle, and at this time, he turned to Lance to answer the question just now.

"It's delicious."

Lance had no intention of asking her to try the wine, but seeing her like this he could only smile helplessly.

It seems that she is not a real person who likes wine. She may just be greedy for this drink. Enjoying the drunken feeling brought by alcohol can help her get rid of certain negative emotions.

“It’s said to be craft beer, but it’s actually pure beer. The beer you usually drink is made from this blend, so the hops are dense and linger. When you drink it, the taste will be much mellower, the wheat aroma will be richer, and the aftertaste will be longer and even a bit hazy. Bitter, this is because the concentration is too high.

Of course, the smell is a bit off because of the old grain used in brewing. Fortunately, the brewing date is fresh, which makes up for part of the shortcomings. "

"Ah~ yes, yes! That's what I wanted to say."

Lance explained to himself. He didn't understand either. He only learned this after talking to the brewing workers.

It belongs to fooling Boudica and these novices who can't figure out the reason.

Boudica nodded in agreement, but did not forget to continue drinking.

An ordinary bottle of ice-cold beer costs only one copper coin. This bottle costs five copper coins when placed in a tavern. It is not something that ordinary people can afford. It has to be those with money in their pockets.

There are quite a lot of these rich guys in the town, such as Disma, Barristan, Tardif, and Geralt. They have a lot of money and don't have any more expenses.

Lance cut the sickle on them, in fact, it was to find more ways for them to have fun, otherwise there would be no point in spending the money.

After fighting monsters for a lifetime, can’t you enjoy the enjoyment?

"Bang!" The sound of Boudica slamming the wine bottle on the table on the other side brought Lance back to his senses.

They are not those nobles who drink slowly from goblets. Boudica's drinking method is bold and bold, that's it.

But Lance felt distressed when he saw her, for fear that she would break the bottle.

"You'd better drink from a wine glass, it's more refreshing."

Seeing this, Lance quickly put a wine glass on her and filled it up.

Hamlet doesn't even have the technology to produce glass bottles now. These bottles are still bought from Totnes and then filled and branded.

After the cost plus shipping and so on, this bottle alone is worth one copper coin, and all those cold beers have to be recycled.

Regardless of the market response to this batch of wine, Lance must also build a glassblowing factory in Hamlet.

This thing can be used to make many things, and wine bottles are just one of them.

But this thing is considered a technical job in this era, and it requires professional craftsmen to build it. It is estimated that it will be difficult to draw cards.

The card drawing thing is a pure injustice. The probability is not transparent, and transparency is useless. This world is too evil.

We still need krypton gold, so we need to find a way to recruit a few people from Totnes to build the framework first, and decide whether there are any first.

Why the hell is it that when I read the novel, it was so easy for the protagonist to climb the technological tree, but he couldn't even run a glass factory?

Thinking about this, Lance couldn't help but feel a little angry, but at this time Boudica had already finished a bottle. Although she was not drunk, she was excited.

Before Lance could say anything else, she opened a bottle of [Girls' Dream] herself.

Just smelling the smell made her look a little strange.

"How does it look a bit like tribal wine?"

“Because it is made by fermenting berries as the body of the wine, and adding flavors and alcohol, this wine uses some of Gunsan’s techniques.”

There is no farming in the mountains, so there are naturally no grains, but they are rich in fruits, and the brewing process is more similar to fruit wine.

Lance consulted Greendale, the Encyclopedia of Mountains, and also learned some related skills, which was a supplement.

Boudica is not someone who needs to wait for Lance to open his mouth before drinking. A glass has already been poured out here.

Lance had to sway around a bit to show off, but she just fucked him right away.

But then his face looked weird, he even frowned, and he started to complain as soon as he swallowed it.

"What is this? Is it really wine? Why is it so sweet?"

"This is actually a fruit-flavored alcoholic drink." Lance said it very directly. It was originally prepared. The taste is not suitable for Boudica, who is not used to drinking it. It is normal.

"Our tribe would not have such a strange wine." Boudica shook her head and looked at the wine with a disgusted look.

"Since you don't like it, then try this." Lance said, his smile became even brighter, and he raised his hand to pick up the bottle of distilled liquor that was as pure as pure water.

But instead of giving her the whole bottle directly, he took out a small cup, poured a cup and handed it over.

"The boss is stingy." Boudica was dissatisfied when she saw the cup, which was not much bigger than her finger. "I can't even think of enough for one sip."

"You taste it first before talking. This wine is just for drinking little by little." Lance didn't even mean to explain and looked at it with a smile.

If the others would be more or less alert, it would be better if the lord didn't smile, but if he smiled, someone would definitely be in trouble.

But Boudica didn't care about this, grabbed the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

But how could Boudica, who was used to drinking low-alcohol wine, withstand this [-] to [-]-degree strong wine, let alone take a sip without warning, and her face instantly turned red and she started coughing.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Isn't it delicious?" Lance smiled happily when he saw this. He didn't like wine. There was nothing good about it, but he liked to have fun.

But Lance obviously underestimated Boudica, an alcoholic. Instead of being scared by this mouthful, she quickly adapted to it.

The smell of alcohol that came back made Boudica shake her head. The rich taste and spiciness brought a strong stimulation that was different from beer.

“It’s so exciting!”
