After a few months of not seeing each other, the little guy has gone from being able to be held up with one hand to being able to be held with both hands, making it twice as big as before.
This time it was really effortless. The approaching fire made Xia Yu reach out his hand to pick up the little guy on the ground. He twisted his body and his face was filled with happy expressions. The fire spread to the warm palm of his hand. The feeling made Xia Yu smile.
Although there is no rainy season in the Huzhong Cave due to Ah Yuan’s precise control, the temperature difference between morning and evening is directly related to the sweetness of the fruits during their growth. Therefore, in the morning it is only a bit hazy, the Huzhong Cave The temperature is still a little lower than that at noon and afternoon when the weather is sunny and sunny.
At this time, the fire ball that acts as a hand warmer is particularly effective at these times. I gently touched the little guy’s head and took out some gel from his pocket to feed it to the little guy with a happy expression. Amidst the fire, Xia Yu waved to Diona who was looking at him from the side.
"Let's wait for it to ferment today and tomorrow, and then we can continue with the rest of the process the day after tomorrow."
The production of kvass is divided into a three to five-day production cycle depending on the degree of fermentation, but the production process on the first and second days is very similar, that is, the flavors of the bread and dried fruits are fully integrated into the soaking water. go.
Can we continue tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?It takes so long to make this drink... Xia Yu's answer made Diona, who seemed to understand the next making process, nod.
Originally, I thought I would be able to taste the taste of Xia Yu's special drink today, but looking at it now, it seems that the process of making this drink by Xia Yu is not as simple as I thought, just by blending it.
But what will the finished product taste like?With a bit of expectation, the little cat girl gave the blond girl a few fierce glances after seeing Xia Yu start making breakfast, and then her attention was attracted by the fire balls on the table.
I want to rub it...
A few months ago, when I went to find trouble with Xia Yu, I noticed that there were many monsters in the small courtyard of Xia Yu, who had signed a trade contract with his father.The most numerous of them were these slimes, but the slimes were too small at that time. Their size, which was only slightly larger than an apple, could not be compared with now.
It looked soft and bouncy, but because it was a fire slime, it felt warm no matter how much I thought about it. The little cat girl looked at the balls of fire and couldn't help but stretched out her hand.
Huo Tuan Tuan was shocked at first when he noticed Diona's actions. Then, the little guy who tightened his body seemed to realize that Diona had no ill intentions towards him. Huo Tuan Tuan tried to get closer to Diona but was picked up by the kitten girl. .
Alas!So warm, meow~
The warm feeling made Diona feel as if she had found a quiet place to bask in the sun after lunch. The comfortable feeling made the kitten girl put her face to it and nuzzled the warm little guy intimately.
After waiting for about a week, it seemed that it was not so difficult anymore. For the first time, Kitty Girl felt a little reluctant and hoped that Xia Yu could extend the cycle of making drinks.
In the past few days, isn't it a pleasure to drink this warm fire slime every day when asking Xia Yu about the specific progress of the drink?
Xia Yu, who started cooking breakfast, softened his expression. Diona, who was slumped on the dining table with the fire slime in her arms, and the large bottle of bread-soaking solution with unknown effects placed aside, always felt that She felt a little uncomfortable as if she had missed something.
The swelling curiosity made the blonde girl extremely want to know what Xia Yu and Diona were making and what they planned to do with it. However, no matter how the current situation looked, she could not put her thoughts into practice. In action.
Xia Yu was making breakfast. Interrupting him would definitely affect the quality of the breakfast. The kitten girl Diona on the side was finally attracted by the fire slime. Interrupting her at this time would not remind her of what she had eaten. What about slices of bread?
What's even more troublesome is that he can't analyze any useful information just from the large bottle of instant bread water... Curiosity is like countless flying fireflies flying around in Ying's heart, so fast The speed made it impossible for him to catch it.
ah! !It’s so uncomfortable!
Going out to the stall, raising monsters, talking to everyone in Mondstadt... Except for the large bottle of kvass drink being made, Xia Yu found that the rhythm of his life had returned to a stable daily routine.
Four days have passed. After squeezing the swollen bread and dried fruit juice, filtering and adding sugar and dry yeast for fermentation again, and sealing and storing in bottles, the production of kvass has come to an end.
It’s finally done, meow!Apart from Xia Yu, the one who was waiting most anxiously was Diona, who was looking forward to the effect of the finished drink.Looking at the bottles of brown liquid, Kitty Girl discovered for the first time that making drinks can be so complicated.
Starting from every step of the second round of fermentation blending, it seems to be to use the curse that makes all drinks taste better. The subsequent production process includes squeezing bread and drying fruits to extract juice. Except for this, every process was completed by myself as a novice under the guidance of Xia Yu.
As far as the final result is concerned, this large bottle of translucent brown liquid does look like that.The most important thing is that the foam on the surface does look a bit like beer.
"Xia Yu, is this ready to drink?" Diona's eyes were filled with anticipation as she raised the small glass bottle in her hand.After seeing Xia Yu nodding to indicate completion, the little guy couldn't wait to pull the cork off the bottle...
Meow meow meow!The sudden burst of bubbles caught Diona off guard.He hurriedly picked up the glass next to him and filled up a full glass of the spilled drink. The half-cup and half-cup of bubbles made Diona think of it together with beer.
It really looks like beer!Diona took a small sip and savored the changes in taste in her mouth.
The first and most obvious thing is that because the special version contains more sugar, the sweet smell and fruity aroma occupy the tongue.After a while, a slightly fermented beer-like taste emerged, with a slight malt aroma mixed with the bread aroma, and there was a slight astringency in the final aftertaste.
The imitation of appearance and taste is really amazing!The excellent tasting effect made Diona's eyes light up. If such a drink was put into the Mao Tail Bar, it would definitely be a big seller. Although it does take some time to make it, it can only take up to two months. Counting the production time, it will be two months. Within months, I will definitely be able to use this drink to gain a foothold in Mondstadt.
Mondstadt's Winery, prepare for my revenge!
————————————————————————
It was finally done... Ying stretched out after a busy day.
With the help of Kaia and Sugar, the subsequent aftermath work of the roots left behind by the trees he felled has been completed. In addition, the adventurer named Dainsreb, for some reason, the communication with him and the interaction with him have changed. In the process of tracing the Abyss Cult, he went to the temple of the West Wind Eagle, the soul of the North Wind Wolf King of Running Wolf, and the ruins of the Wind Dragon where Tvarin is currently staying.
What is extremely miraculous and crucial is that in the process of searching for traces of the Abyss Order with this Dainsreb, when I came to the top of the cliff of the Wind Dragon Ruins, I detected the aura related to my brother!After so many years, this is the first time that I have noticed such obvious traces of my brother!
Moreover, the adventurer named Dainsreb himself is quite mysterious, not to mention his Riddler-like attitude that seems to know the truth of many things but refuses to say anything clearly. As a brother, the complicated look on the other person's face that he tried his best to conceal could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.
Dainsreb must know the information related to his brother, but he just refuses to tell!
Obviously I have seen the clues, but in the end it was ended hastily because of the other party's departure, and I just couldn't stop the other party... This kind of anxious feeling!Sure enough, the Riddler is the most troublesome!
After returning to Mondstadt through the teleportation anchor point, Ying was filled with emotion at the bustling crowd in the Cat Tail Tavern.The imitation beer drink that Xia Yu and Diona created has been officially launched in Maowei Tavern. I also tried a drink in my spare time. In terms of taste, it was really good.
It’s completely unimaginable to brew a drink out of bread.
So, what can we eat tonight?When Ying came to the door of Xia Yu's courtyard, she was stunned when she saw the towering gate that was more than seven meters or eight meters high.
"Xia Yu, what are you...?" Ying greeted Xia Yu who was saying goodbye to the craftsmen and couldn't figure it out.The outer wall of Xia Yu's current small courtyard is only about two and a half meters high at most. What is he going to do by putting a half-open gate of more than seven or eight meters in front of the original gate?
"Good evening, Ying." Xia Yu greeted the blond girl with a smile on his face and pointed at the ruin hunter in the small courtyard. Xia Yu said emotionally: "Now, I can finally send it in too." It’s in the cave in the pot!”
What?Seeing the ruin hunter placed in the small courtyard that Xia Yu pointed to, the blond girl was stunned.
Don't stuff everything into the cave in my pot! ! !
Chapter 127 The completed kvass and the special tasting staff
Ying has completely understood the effect of putting slime into the pot. In a sense, pure elemental slime can increase the activity of elements in the space.
For example, at A Yuan's request, Xia Yu brought a lot of grass slimes back to the cave in the pot. They lay limply on the grass and basked in the sun all day long. While they were growing slowly, they were also spreading to the surrounding environment. The grass element is sown, and under the influence of the grass element, the plants in his spiritual field are growing gratifyingly.
For example, the Liyue people's favorite ornamental flowers are the glazed lily and the neon flowers used for textile fabrics. The excellent environment of the cave in the pot makes the grass slime and the ice firefly Leiying who come to play from time to time have a good mood and express happiness. The little guys of sound gave this cheerful feeling to the extremely spiritual glass lily that can grow with the atmosphere, music, etc.
Coupled with the activity of the land generated by the rock slimes passing by from time to time, the final result brought by various advantages is that the glazed lilies and neon flowers cultivated in these spiritual fields are of top quality, and are even directly sold with them. Feiyun Chamber of Commerce got into business.Although the supply of goods is not too large, the high-quality glazed lilies and neon flowers can steadily bring me an income of about 60 moras every month!
In a similar situation, water slime can activate the flowing water in the cave in the pot to improve the quality of the water. The breeze brought by wind slime when floating will be clearer, and ice slime will be arranged by Xia Yu to be quick-frozen. some food...
As for the fire slime, when I mention this little fiery red round guy, I feel grateful for its existence in my heart.
Diona, who looks for fire slimes whenever she comes to the Cave in the Pot these days, seems to have changed. The little cat girl holding the ball of fire looks soft and has no usual aggression at all.
Slime is really awesome!
The most important thing is that these chubby and intelligent little guys look really cute.
But... why did Xia Yu, the six-meter-high and nearly seven-meter-tall ruin hunter, move into his cave in the pot?Keli would take the Relic Hunter every now and then and go for a short walk in an unknown corner of Mondstadt. Wouldn't it be troublesome to move it back and forth from the small courtyard to the cave in the pot, and then from the cave in the pot back to the courtyard?
The key is the oozing golden core. The big golden eyes at the core of the relic hunter's head are so oozing when you see them at night...
"Um...is there any reason why the ruin hunters were moved into the Cave in the Pot?" Ying, who was trying to mount a final resistance, looked at Xia Yu and began to dodge her eyes to avoid looking directly at Xia Yu, with a forced smile on her face. There is bitterness in it.
However, the blonde girl's last resistance seemed to fail to make the other party react at all. When she caught a glimpse of Xia Yu's affirmative nodding from the corner of her eye, Ying's heart was filled with despair.
"Well, because it was Ah Yuan who arranged for the Ruins Hunter to enter the Cave in the Pot." Xia Yu, who was explaining with Ying, looked very serious. It seemed that in order to further let Ying understand what he was planning, he motioned to Ying to wait a moment. After that, Xia Yu quickly ran to the storage room next to the small building.
After a while, Xia Yu returned to the small courtyard carrying two metal rakes about two meters tall. "That's why." Xia Yu placed the rake on the grass and activated the ruin hunter on standby.
"How should I put it... Because the spiritual power released by Dragon King Ruotuo in the Huzhong Cave is too huge and heavy, the grassland in the expanded area of the Huzhong Cave is a bit too compact, and the grass slimes have complained recently. When it comes to drilling into the soil, it doesn’t feel as convenient as the soil outside, so Abedo and I worked together to design this rake-shaped hand replacement part for plowing.”
"Just modify the two arms on the back of the relic hunter and put them on. Soon the hard soil will be turned over by the relic hunter and become fluffy. In addition, because of the grass slime They work together so that even exposed layers of soil can be transformed into lush green meadows in just a few days."
Xia Yu's explanation made Ying Jing feel that his eyes were completely dark, and the blonde girl's wide-open mouth seemed like her jaw had been dislocated and could not be closed for a long time.
No... Based on all the information I have found so far, I can see that these self-regulatory agencies are weapons of war.Why did Xia Yu turn into an agricultural robot for plowing in your hands?
I felt like I was being strangled by the neck, and I could no longer use any words to describe my weird mood at this moment. Considering that this was the most stable improvement to improve myself, complicated feelings filled Ying's heart.
Let’s take a step first and see what happens next...
As if to celebrate this hard-earned day off, the blond girl who set up a table of snacks and drinks sat on a bench in the small courtyard and looked at the sky.Under the genial sunshine of the Pot in the Cave, Ying was sure that his expression must be similar to that of the grass slime basking in the sun not far away.
In addition, today seems to be the day when Xia Yu and Diona finish brewing the bread and water drink.
"Xia Yu." Ying's shout made Xia Yu, who was asking about the two thunder balls today, turn his head.Seeing Xia Yu pointing at the freezer next to the frozen tree, he then reminded Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, the drink you and Diona made should be brewed today, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed today." Xia Yu nodded in agreement, showing an eager look on his face. The changes in the blond girl's expression could not escape Xia Yu's eyes.
I have seen this expression too many times, always looking forward to tasting the food I made.Ying, who repeatedly reminded her with her small eyes, knew at a glance that she wanted to try something new.
But right now, he couldn't hand the kvass to her right away, because the other maker of the large bottle of kvass hadn't arrived yet.Since kvass is also a type of drink with bubbles, if you open it early and leave it for a long time, the kvass that has lost its bubbles will lose a lot of flavor.What's more, I specifically asked the bakery owner to add some raw materials needed for brewing beer.
Two days of initial soaking and fermentation plus three days of subsequent fermentation of pure liquid with yeast powder. The subsequent steps were completed by Diona using her 'curse' level of bartending ability under her own guidance. She also reminded her of it. The lid of this little cat girl kvass is opened today.
The question is...where is Deiona?
After waiting all morning and failing to see the arrival of Kitten Girl, Xia Yu was confused and asked Ying: "Ying, do you know where Diona went today?"
Diona?That's right... The blond girl who just realized that today was weird also shook her head.
In the past few days, Diona, who came to the Cave in the Pot every day to check the specific status of the bottle of bread and water, could be said to be very attentive. However, when the day came when the production was completed, the little cat girl herself disappeared... A little thought The puzzled girl turned to Xia Yu and said, "I don't know, how about... let's go find her and see where she went?"
Driven by the temptation of the new imitation alcoholic drinks, Ying's brain started to work rapidly.Looking at Xia Yu, who was still a little worried, the blond girl comforted: "Anyway, the only way Mond wants to enter the Cave in the Pot is through Xia Yu's home. If you are afraid that Diona will miss us, you can just move us away." Just tell Mona or Abbey about looking for her and you don’t have to worry."
Yes, this is a good method, because for me, the time to search for Diona's traces can be said to be fixed. After all, I have to open a store at noon, and the overall calculation is only about two and a half hours. Do your own search.
As long as Albedo or Mona, who are doing research in the house, are informed in advance that they are searching for traces of Kitten Girl, there won't be any big mistakes in the overall calculation.At most, you can make the other party wait for you for a short period of time.
"I understand, let's go to the city and have a look."
————————————————————————
Let's ask where to find clues related to Diona. This question is not difficult for Xia Yu and Ying at all.
After all, Diona is not too old yet. If she wants to work in Mondstadt, the shop owner who accepts her must also take on the responsibility of taking care of her. On this issue, the proprietress who regards Diona as the treasure of the Cat Tail Tavern must Margaret did a pretty good job.
It gave Diona a very good and comfortable resting environment. When it was time for the children to go to bed every day during the night shift, Diona would be urged to get off work early to go to bed and rest. In her daily life, she also took special care of this person who came to Mondstadt from Qingquan Town. A little guy who works in the city.
It was under this kind of treatment that the proprietress Margaret was able to keep Diona working in the store. However, considering the popularity of this little cat girl among customers and her very cute appearance, she liked cats. The proprietress Margaret didn't care at all about these things.
So, where Diona went, just ask Margaret, the owner of the Cat Tail Tavern.Along the side path to the Fountain Square, Ying and Xia Yu, who were searching for Margaret, soon found them sipping tea and listening to the troubadour singing in front of the outdoor tables and chairs of the Mao Tail Tavern. Margaret singing.
"Good morning, Miss Margaret." After greeting the young bar owner, Margaret turned to look at Xia Yu and Ying with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, you two. Diona has been taken care of by you both these days." Diona's good mood couldn't escape Margaret's eyes every time she returned to the bar in the evening. "It might be a pity for you two to come to Mao Tail Tavern in the morning. After all, we only open in the afternoon."
"However, if you two are dating, it's okay for me to open earlier. However, at this time, I won't be able to taste Diona's bartending skills."
"No...we are just looking for Diona." Ying, who denied it, blushed slightly. "Miss Margaret, do you know where Diona went this morning?"
"Oh? You are looking for little Diona." Margaret said with a smile on her face when she mentioned her sales girl. "Little Diona returned to Qingquan Town after getting off work early yesterday afternoon. She said she wanted to let her father taste the special concoction she made today."
Margaret was full of interest when she mentioned this.
"I have heard from little Diona that she has been making special alcoholic drinks in Mr. Xia Yu's courtyard these days. Can you tell me in advance what kind of drink it is and how it tastes... No, as long as there are various kinds of wine prepared by little Diona, there seems to be no unpalatable variety."
As if recalling Diona's ability to mix drinks, as if she was favored by the gods, Margaret's face showed a smile.
So she went to find her father, Mr. Durav.After hearing the news, the big stone hanging in Xia Yu and Ying's heart finally fell.In this case, there is no need to worry about Diona's safety problems.
Since Qingquan Town is the main producer of meat in the entire Mondstadt region, the Knights of the West Wind have absolutely excellent protection on the road from Mondstadt to Qingquan Town.
According to the time that Qingquan Town delivers meat to Mondstadt every day, it should be almost here.Just as Xia Yu was calculating the possible arrival time of the little guy, a shout from the direction of the city gate caught Xia Yu's attention.
"Xia Yu~Ying~ This way, this way!" A familiar and lively voice came to Xia Yu's ears. He turned his head and looked at Mr. Duraf, who was carrying the hot air balloon truck used to transport goods, and Mr. Duraf, who was heading towards Diona appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision, waving to the two of them.
After first completing the delivery of the meat ordered by the Deer Hunter, Durav returned to the Cat Tail Tavern and seemed to have known that his daughter Diona had brewed a special concoction. Durav looked in a good mood when he greeted Xia Yu. Very good.
"I haven't seen you for more than a week, Mr. Xia Yu. I heard my daughter say that she brewed a pretty good alcoholic drink with your help, and you can taste it today. Is it true?" The cat ears swayed slightly, and Durav looked extremely excited when he asked Xia Yu.
"That's right, Mr. Durav, today is exactly the time for the brewing to be completed." Xia Yu's answer made Durav laugh directly.
"Okay! I will go and deliver the meat to each one first, and then I will follow you to taste it and see what kind of wine can make my daughter run back to Qingquan Town to find me in person."
Chapter 128 It’s so weird, let’s have another taste... Tevalin’s cleaning commission
The first taste of the kvass was actually conducted by Diona's father, Mr. Durav, which was the most difficult at the beginning. Xia Yu was deeply impressed by how much Mr. Durav was an alcoholic.
That is a person who can drink until he is so drunk that he talks nonsense and has his fellow hunters in the town carry him home. Although this type of heavy drinker may not be as picky about wine as those who like to taste wine elegantly. Guys, but the biggest characteristics of drinkers like Mr. Durav are somewhat in conflict with the characteristics of kvass.
That is, the wine must be strong enough to drink, or refreshing enough to drink.
This is the biggest problem with self-brewed kvass for a short period of time. Compared with other alcoholic drinks, it only has a small amount of fermented flavor of bread and dried fruit. It can at best be regarded as a fermented flavor drink, which is the type that Mr. Durav likes. Basically it can be regarded as two extremes.
But the alcoholic drinks prepared by Diona are said to be praised by everyone who has tasted them in Mondstadt. The subsequent production of kvass happened to be completed by Diona under her guidance. Such a relationship What results can a collision bring?Xia Yu became very curious about the collision he could see next.
"Mr. Durav, please come with me." He led Durav to his small house. Considering that there were too many elemental creatures, namely slimes, in the cave in the pot, Xia Yu finally gave up. Mr. Durav's plan to enter the cave in the pot.
Although the slimes are no longer aggressive, they have become particularly fond of getting close to humans due to changes in their living environment and their breeding. For example, people with the elemental power external organ God's Eye are okay. If ordinary people have long Excessive concentration of elemental power will cause people to become sick if they are exposed to elemental creatures for a long time.
After guiding the two of them to the living room to sit down, Xia Yu said: "Mr. Duraf, please wait for me here with your daughter for a moment. I will go and get the kvass." Then, he walked up. Xia Yu, who was on the second floor, pushed open the door of the room with the pot hanging on it and disappeared into the hut.
While Xia Yu was getting kvass, Duraf, who was sitting on the soft sofa in the living room, also began to look at this slightly unique courtyard.
On weekdays, the handover of goods and mora is done by other younger hunters in Qingquan Town. Therefore, this is the first time that Durav has visited the home of this young man whom he is optimistic about.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yu did not settle in Mondstadt City. Instead, he chose to build a different kind of courtyard at the side entrance.Although there are not too many plants in the garden, the grass is indeed well taken care of.What's more, the clean and hygienic condition of the house. Even if someone is hired to clean it, a clean environment at least represents Xia Yu's pursuit of quality of life.
