Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 371 Monkey Wine

Fortunately, everyone here lives a self-sufficient life and everyone needs to work, so no matter how much good food you eat, you won’t get fat.

It is most likely the effect of hot spring water, because hot spring water can regulate the body and adjust everyone's body to the healthiest state, so you will naturally not gain weight.

Even if Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi went far away and lived in a tent, they would not forget to take a hot spring bath. Xia Chan collected a lot of hot spring water, and if it was used up, they could go over and collect more.

On this day, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi arrived at a place they had never been to before. Although the sun was scorching overhead, the tall trees above blocked the strong sunlight, leaving only some mottled circles of light.

Zhou Qizhi held Xia Chan's hand and held a sickle in the other hand. It was better to be cautious in places you had never been to before.

As they walked, Xia Chan suddenly smelled a strong smell of alcohol. She frowned hard and said, "Zhou Qizhi, I smell a strong smell of alcohol. Do you smell it?"

Zhou Qizhi nodded, "I smelled it too."

"I don't know what's fermented to emit such a strong smell of wine. Let's look for it." Then the two of them slowly followed the smell of wine and began to search. After searching for a long time, they actually found it in front of a tree, but the place where the smell of wine came from was quite high and she couldn't see it.

Zhou Qizhi squatted down and let Xia Chan sit on his shoulders, then stood up. Xia Chan looked towards the place where the smell of wine came from, and unexpectedly it was a tree hole. The aroma of wine inside was very strong.

"Zhou Qizhi, it should be monkey wine. Do you know what monkey wine is? It is monkey food that is put together for a long time and fermented into wine. I heard that drinking monkey wine is good for the body!" Xia Chan took out a wine spoon and a glass bottle from the space, scooped out the wine in the tree hole spoonful by spoonful, and then put it into the glass bottle. After the wine in the tree hole was scooped out, Xia Chan asked Zhou Qizhi to put her down.

She looked at Zhou Qizhi worriedly and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Xiao Chan, you are not heavy at all, I'm fine." Zhou Qizhi said with a smile. How could such a small weight crush him!

Xia Chan put the wine bottle into the space and said, "Since we are here, let's go to other places to look for Monkey Bars. Otherwise, if it rains heavily, these wines will be ruined and can't be drunk."

After that, the two of them started searching nearby, and unexpectedly found several tree holes. The ten-pound large glass jar was filled with several summer cicadas.

Since he had received the monkeys' wine, he naturally had to give something in return. So Xia Chan found a place with plenty of light and planted two peach trees and two apple trees as a thank you to the monkeys who made the wine.

On the way back, Xia Chan used the bamboo tube cups they had made earlier to fill up several kilograms of monkey wine.

As soon as they reached the bamboo courtyard wall, Grandpa Xiao couldn't wait to come out of the courtyard, "What a nice smell of wine, where did the wine come from in this forest?" Then his eyes fell on Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi, "The smell of wine is coming from you, how did you get wine?"

"Grandpa, we found monkey wine in the forest, so we brought some back. See if you can drink it. If you can, let's taste this monkey wine." Xia Chan smiled and handed over the bamboo cup. Grandpa Xiao held the bamboo cup as if he had found a treasure, smiling with wrinkles all over his face, "You two are really good kids. You know to bring good things back to Grandpa when you find them. Grandpa will taste it now."

"Grandpa, don't rush to drink. I'll go make some snacks and we'll have a good drink tonight." Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Because Grandpa Xiao had never drunk in front of them before, they didn't know that Grandpa Xiao was a drinker. They heard that Monkey Wine was very good, so it shouldn't be a problem if they drank a little.

In the afternoon, Xia Chan and Grandma Xiao made a spicy pig ears dish and a cold-mixed black fungus dish. Both were slightly spicy and everyone could eat them.

I had hunted a wild boar before. After eating the fresh meat that day, I smeared salt on the rest and marinated it for two days, then hung it in the yard to dry.

When Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao saw Xia Chan and the others coming, each of them was carrying a backpack and some were even carrying a sack. They knew that they brought enough supplies to last for several months, so they naturally didn't think much about Xia Chan being able to come up with so much salt. They just thought that the child was a person with plans.

In the evening, before it got completely dark, everyone ate in the yard. When the food was served on the table, Grandpa Xiao poured himself a full bamboo bowl of wine and only poured a shallow layer for everyone else, so that one didn't know if the bottom of the bowl was flooded.

"Grandpa, we have never drunk monkey wine before, and we don't know whether we can drink it or not. We don't know what will happen after drinking it. There is no doctor here. What if some emergency happens? So Grandpa, you just take a few sips to taste it for the first time. We can drink it again when we go back later!" Xia Chan thought about it, but still felt a little worried. She didn't dare to let Grandpa Xiao drink too much.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can just take a rest and you will be fine. But if you are sick, it will be difficult to deal with. After all, it is so far and the journey back will take a lot of time.

Grandma Xiao thought it was right, "Old man, you should listen to Xiao Chan. Drink a little first. Make sure it's okay. You can drink more another day. It's better not to drink so much at once for the first time."

"Okay, let's drink a little first!" Grandpa Xiao poured the wine in the bamboo bowl back into the bamboo cup, leaving a shallow layer for himself, then took a sip carefully, and then said loudly, "It tastes good, this is the taste."

Monkey wine contains medicinal herbs and fruits. It is different from ordinary liquor and not as spicy as liquor. Except for children, everyone else can drink it. The medicinal herbs in it can also regulate the body. Drinking a small amount is good for the body.

However, Xia Chan is not very interested in alcohol, so he didn't drink tonight. If everyone drinks together, who will take care of whom when everyone gets drunk? So we must leave a few sober people!

Xiao Tiantian, Xiao Mimi and Grandma Xiao didn't drink it. Only Grandpa Xiao and the three men drank a little. Since it was the first day, they didn't dare to drink much. They wanted to observe whether there were any sequelae. After all, this wine was made by fermenting things picked by monkeys. It was definitely not as clean as human-brewed wine, so they should be careful.

Everyone only drank the shallow layer at the bottom of the bowl, so there was no problem. However, Zhou Qizhi, Xia Bin, and Jin Pengyuan had never drunk alcohol before, so their faces turned red, but it was only a light red, not that exaggerated.

After dinner, everyone went to the hot spring to soak for a while and then came back to rest.

Xia Chan lay on the bamboo bed, listening carefully, fearing that something might happen on Grandpa Xiao's side. When she woke up the next morning and saw that Grandpa Xiao looked refreshed, she knew that the monkey wine was a rare good thing, so she decided to go with Zhou Qizhi to collect more monkey wine.
