The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 25 Fermented glutinous rice and glutinous rice
"Oh! You mean fermented glutinous rice, right? I'll get it!"

Ge Qiao threw down the crab shell, ran back to the iron courtyard, and soon brought a clay jar taller than him, pulled out the grass ball stuffed on it, and there was a sweet smell of wine floated out.

"It's rice wine! Yes, it's also called fermented glutinous rice wine! But it's not rice wine, so it's worth it..."

Guyi picked up a gnawed crab shell and took a spoonful from the jar to taste it. It was not good, it was a little sour, far worse than the sweet rice wine brewed by the old mothers in the countryside in his world. The taste was sour and astringent. Yes, the alcohol content is only about 2~3°.

"Don't drink too much of this fermented glutinous rice. Last time I drank it secretly, I didn't know I woke up after a day and a night of sleep, and my butt was swollen by Tai Bokui!"

The little boy Ge Qiao saw that Guyi was drinking like a cow, but he kindly reminded him. Seeing that he was cute, Gu Yi laughed: "How can you get drunk with such a low degree of alcohol? I can't get drunk even if I drink this jar. You are drunk, kid!" That's because you are young...but crab meat is cold in nature, drinking some wine can dispel the cold and warm the stomach, which is good for the body, and it is not easy to get poisoned by eating crabs."

Seeing Guyi's insolence and being told he was young, Ge Qiao stood up angrily and said, "Wait!" He ran back to the iron courtyard and saw him sneaking around from a distance. Entering the largest wooden house in the iron courtyard, it took a while before slipping back like a thief holding a small earthen jar.

"This is Tai Bokui's hidden treasure '酸醸'. Even Tai Bokui only drinks a small wine every time..."

Ge Qiao proudly showed off, Gu Yi took it and pulled out the plug of the grass ball and sniffed it, he couldn't help but laugh, it sounded mysterious, he thought "Lijiu" was something mysterious, emotion was still rice wine, it was just the fermentation time during brewing It is longer, and the distiller's grains are slightly filtered out, so the alcohol content is higher, but it is only 3~5°, which is commonly known as "old rice wine". With his drinking capacity, this thing can be drunk even if it is stuffed to death not drunk.

The wine juice of Lijiu is slightly viscous and slightly bubbly, because the filtration process is not good, the wine liquid is still a little cloudy, Gu Yi tasted it, it tasted sour and sweet, much better than the big altar of fermented glutinous rice Yes, but the amount was too small, a small jug weighed less than a catty, and he killed it in a few gulps. Niu Sha snatched the wine jug curiously, and sipped the few drops left in it.

"This is not bad, is there any more?"

It's rare to have such a free and relaxed atmosphere after coming to this world. Gu Yi will inevitably be a little greedy for alcohol.

The little boy stared dumbfounded at the small jar of fermented glutinous rice, which was drank by Gu Yi like a cow drinking water. It took him a long time to react, his expression changed drastically, and he rushed over with a scream, from the cow who was still licking the juice Li snatched the jar back, and fell it face down.

I saw that in the dry jar, even the last drop of wine juice was licked clean by the gluttonous kid like Niusha, and there was still something to pour out there, and he sat down on the ground in a daze, and burst into tears: "Damn it! This small altar of wine is Tai Bokui's treasure, and he is reluctant to drink it on weekdays! Only when he makes a good vessel, he is willing to drink a small jue, but you The bully has drunk it, and tomorrow Tai Bokui finds that the wine is gone, so he must beat me to death! I was killed by you! You pay me! You pay me!"

Guyi profusely, by the way, didn't you bring out the fermented glutinous rice and glutinous rice wine to treat guests yourself?Why do I have to pay you for drinking?Are you the one who stole feelings?But I drank it all, can I still spit it out?
Scratching his head, Gu Yi said in a difficult way: "Okay, okay! Don't cry, I will pay you, but you also know that we are all victims picked from the miner camp, and we don't even have any clothes. One piece, but there is no money to compensate you!"

"Can you afford it? Can you afford it?"

Ge Qiao sat on the ground kicking his calves and spitting non-stop, weeping so sadly: "This bucket of Lijiu is sold at the collection, and it takes a full bushel of millet to get it. Besides, this Lijiu is from a soldier. Exclusive, even if you have millet, you may not be able to exchange it, even if you sell your scum, can you exchange it for a jar of wine?"

Guyi's head was blown when he heard it, isn't he just ordering old rice wine?As for crying so sad?

"Okay, okay! Don't cry! Be careful not to wake up your uncle, I will spank your ass now!"

Gu Yi intentionally frightened the child, seeing that Ge Qiao really covered his mouth in fright, he comforted him: "If you sell me, you won't be able to buy Lijiu. Isn't it just to make some old rice wine? You have grain in your granary. Get some out, and I'll make you a big jar!"

"You know how to refine gold liquid? Could it be that you are the wine offering and serving attendant of the Taihua Jade Palace? No, if you were offering wine and serving attendant, why would you be treated as a miner?"

Ge Qiao's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth in disbelief: "Bloody! You haven't grown a beard yet. What kind of sacrificial wine and waiter are there!? Even if it's Tianguan's talisman master, jizhai If you are a priest, no one dares to provoke you among the mortals, and there is someone who dares to send you into the slave camp?"

You told me all about the good things, what kind of trouble are you going to make?

Gu Yi's face is dark, what is this all about?Isn't it just to be an old rice wine, why do you add some sacrificial wine, wine attendants, talisman masters, and priests, making it seem very mysterious... and "golden liquid"?With the strength of this old rice wine, how dare you call it Jinye?

Ever since he came to this world, what Gu Yi hated the most was talking to the local aboriginal chickens and ducks, and he couldn't understand what they meant.

Gu Yi, who was too lazy to explain to the child, said foolishly: "Don't worry about it, anyway, I can make wine for you. Didn't you say that your uncle often drinks it? Let's take advantage of it before he thinks about it." Just do it."

Now, apart from Niu Cha who had secretly drank a lot of fermented glutinous rice and sat there with a drunken smirk, Ge Qiao and the little mute were all surprised.

Maybe Gu Yi, who doesn't understand the history and laws of this world, doesn't understand the greatness of the wine-making technology he has mastered, but in fact, "wine-making", a mysterious and noble technology, is put on a sacred cloak and is regarded as Patents for the privilege of the theocracy of this world.

Wine, in the primitive society where food is very precious, is usually a very rare luxury, and it is endowed with very symbolic powers and used for some very special occasions, such as sacrifices, prayers, and sacrifices.

The technology of brewing wine is also secretly in the hands of the exclusive clergy responsible for the sacrifice, which is what the boy Ge Qiao called "sacrificing wine and brewing waiters". It is called "refining" rather than "brewing".
