Ancient wasteland

After eating the salty and delicious bacon and stewed radish, Ye Ye continued to go to the lake to collect the grain grown in the field, and Jing He naturally stayed at home.

After tidying up the kitchen, he began to think about making wine.

There are a lot of grapes in the yard, and the vines on the shelves are full.

There are many fruits, crowded and piled up next to each other, and they are all picked, which weighs about a hundred catties.

Of course, this amount is not too much. Compared with those wineries that specialize in wine production, it is a small shrimp that is not even a small fish.

Jing Yu has no plans to develop a large-scale winemaking industry for the time being. After all, grain and fruit can be regarded as food, and they are not yet rich to that extent.

It is estimated that in the eyes of other people in the tribe, it is a waste to use food to make wine.

Unless it is like the grapes on this shelf, it is too sour to be eaten directly, and there is no sugar in the tribe to neutralize its taste, so there is no way to drink it.

Everyone hates it, and even the wild is unwilling to use it as food, and only wants to use it as fertilizer.

It was only Jing Que who thought of making wine, and he was better at using these useless things to create value.

In fact, grapes are a kind of fruit that are quite convenient for wine making. They have their own grape enzymes for fermentation, which exist in the layer of hoarfrost on the skin.

This solves the problem of lack of yeast for wine fermentation. The only concern of Jing Zhu is that the taste of this batch of grapes is really sour, and there is obviously a lack of sugar in it.

Wine fermentation is actually the process of converting sugar into alcohol. If there is not enough sugar, the alcohol concentration will be low after fermentation.

In a better situation, it is brewed into bland grape juice, as long as it is drinkable, it is not considered a waste.

The worse situation is that the fermentation is not successful due to insufficient sugar and chemical reaction, and if the fermentation is not successful, spoilage may occur.

... But after thinking about it later, these grapes were originally intended to be used as fertilizer anyway, if they rot, they will rot, and if they rot, they will be used as fertilizer, and it will not have much impact.

Why would he be so restrained? It's not his style to think about it for a long time without moving.

As soon as he talked, he first prepared the small clay pot to be used, cleaned it, scalded it with boiling water, put it aside to dry, and then started to pick grapes in the yard.

The grape trellis is not high, and there are various vines. Most of the hanging grapes can be picked without much effort.

Jing Que took them all off and took them to the water's edge to wait for cleaning.

The grapes used for winemaking do not need to be scrubbed, because if they are scrubbed too clean, the mold on the grape skins will be removed, which will naturally affect the fermentation.

Jing Que picked all the grapes first, moved his sore arms from picking grapes, and then slowly moved the frame and walked to the pool.

The grapes picked were about the same as he had expected, about [-] catties. This bunch of grapes was the first stubble, and the vines were not too thick at the beginning of fruiting.

With this output, it is basically considered a high yield. Presumably, if this grape can survive the cold season, the output may double when the vine grows up next year.

Rinse the grapes under the running water, make sure the dust is rinsed off, and put them aside to dry.

It took him two full hours just to pick and wash the grapes, which made his back ache, and he felt exhausted, so tired that he didn't want to move.

But in the end, I looked at the piles of purple grapes next to them. After washing, they were round and lovely, with water droplets, reflecting a very beautiful color.

Tired after tired, my heart is still very happy.

While waiting for the grapes to dry, he rummaged through his warehouse looking for something.

He originally wanted to find two wine jars. He remembered that when dispensing the medicine before, he consumed two bottles of wine, and the jars containing wine were always empty.

The wine jars produced by the system are all high-quality porcelain, which cannot be fired with the current technology of their tribe.

At that time, the place where he lived with the wild was crowded with people, so he didn't use it. Now only the old priest lives there, and it is used for discussion.

The place where he lives is relatively clean, few people come here, the wine jars are empty and empty, and they are simply taken out, waiting to be used to hold the brewed wine.

The jar was empty, and it was easy for him to find it. What he didn't expect was that there was an unexpected surprise.

When searching, he found a pack of snow fungus, that is, white fungus, from the food area in the warehouse. He remembered that the lotus seeds in the pond were harvested!

If you find white fungus, you can use it to cook white fungus and lotus seed soup. You can also add some red dates and goji berries to it, and then put some honey in it. Thinking about the taste, it feels very beautiful!

Not only that, but a portion of sugar was dug out from an inconspicuous corner of the condiment, seeing the small white pile marked with "sugar", Jing Que laughed out loud to himself.

His luck was a little bit too good. Just now he was thinking about the lack of sugar in the wine, and he searched out the white sugar from the warehouse. It is not an exaggeration to call it a dream come true.

He happily took out the white sugar, and was a little puzzled. He clearly remembered that when he was tidying up the warehouse, he didn't find any white sugar.

Speaking of the warehouse, he has inspected it many times, and if there is really sugar, it is not necessary to take it out. This sugar seems to have suddenly appeared in his warehouse.

Could it be that his warehouse really has the function of making his wishes come true? !Just like the legendary Aladdin's lamp.

Jing Que was a little frightened by his own idea, and his back was numb, but he still couldn't help but want to try the effect, first closed the warehouse entrance, and began to think.

What else do you want, preferably high-quality rice and wheat seeds. Compared with corn and sweet potatoes, he still prefers rice and pasta.

In addition, I also want some weapons and equipment. If it is a magic weapon, it is of course the best. If not, it is okay to have more full-level equipment, weapons, armor, jewelry, etc.

The quality of the equipment produced by the system is definitely good, at least better than the ones he forged by himself.

After thinking about it out of thin air for a long time, I thought about everything from basic necessities of life to weapons and supplies.

I opened the warehouse full of anticipation and took a look. I was so excited, I just wanted to see what happened to the warehouse.

Then the excitement froze on his face,... oh, nothing changed at all.

Even the sugar that was just taken out and put in is still in its original position.

Jing Qu felt amused by his whim, smiled and shook his head.

Either the candy was hidden in some corner and was not discovered by him, after all, there are a lot of miscellaneous things in his warehouse, or it was an unexpected harvest.

His warehouse is still the same warehouse, so don't expect to suddenly have a magic lamp function.

But Jing Zhu was not disappointed, anyway, the sugar had already been obtained, so he started to make wine.

Squeeze the washed and dried grapes, and put the skins in the prepared pottery jars. Regardless of the sourness of these grapes, they are all round, plump, tender and juicy.

Squeeze it open with a "pop", and the purple-red juice pops out with a "squeak". Jing He treats the grapes as a toy, and squeezes them with great interest.

Waiting for more than a hundred catties of grapes to be put into the clay tank, there is still something to be desired.

Add some sugar into the pottery jar, because the grapes are more acidic than normal grapes, so put a little more sugar, after stirring evenly, cover the lid and put it in the corner to wait for fermentation.

Now the tribe is in the windy season, and the outdoor temperature is about 28 degrees, which is a very suitable temperature for fermentation.

Relatively speaking, the indoor temperature is slightly lower, which will affect the fermentation effect slightly.

After finishing these, you only need to stir frequently to let the substances inside come into contact with the air to ferment. After all, only aerobic respiration will produce the final product, and anaerobic respiration will produce lactic acid.

If you want to make wine instead of fruit vinegar as the final product, you have to pay attention to the oxygen content in the clay tank.

After putting away the clay pot, Jing Que sat in the yard and basked in the sun for a while. It was still early to make dinner, but he was not allowed to run into the field.

Sitting in the yard bored, lazily basking in the sun, all the bones in his body are about to be melted by the sun.

While he was playing with pinching fingers boringly, Bei ran up the steps and looked at him with a smile, "Jing! I'll take you to the kiln to have a look. It is said that the Wujin tribe needs to build a furnace for smelting iron.

Our tribe must also build it. He has already sent people to carry the iron ore. Let's go and choose the location where the furnace will be built, and start working when the iron ore comes back. "

Jing Qu immediately stopped being lazy and bored, and sat up "crazyly", "Okay, wait for me to get the scepter."

His scepter is also used for the same purpose as the old priest, and they are both used as crutches.

...Now he can walk around for a short time, but if he stands for too long, he will obviously feel tired, so he carries the scepter just in case.

Bei didn't mention the matter of carrying him, half helped him down the steps, and the two walked slowly into the tribe.

Jing Zhu probably saw the whole picture of the tribe, and already felt that it was like a fortress, and the defense must be very strong. Now walking in the tribe, this feeling is even more obvious.

Especially looking at the thick walls of the house at a close distance, and various improvements hidden in the dark, with a gloomy cool green light emitting from them.

Don't even think about it, it must be coated with poison, both offensive and defensive, so that the safety of the tribe will increase slowly.

There are cement pipes for bedding, perfect sewer measures and garbage storage places, so that the whole tribe looks very clean and tidy, with the background of plants.

The air is full of scents of vegetation and flowers. At first glance, it looks a bit like the greatness of modern tourist towns, very quiet and quiet.

Whether it's the most powerful Great River Tribe around them, or the Blackwater Tribe in the far south, or several other super tribes.

There is nothing better than the environment in their tribe. Living here is really full of happiness.

Just lamenting how nice the living environment is, Huyue came out from the next house, squinted at him arrogantly, and asked, "Where are you going now?"

Jing Zhuo, "..."

He was really speechless, did this lady have no sense of being a guest at all?

Pulling out a fake smile, "This is my tribe. I don't need to report to you where I want to go. Is there something we didn't take care of you well?"

Huyue pursed her lips with displeasure, "I'm bored in the room, I'll go wherever you go."

Before coming to the Dashan Tribe, the priest told her to remember to learn all the methods of making good things in the Dashan Tribe and bring them back to the Blackwater Tribe.

The priest promised that as long as she took all these methods back, she would be the next priest.

When she first came, the Dashan tribe gave her a very big surprise.

No matter it is a neat and beautiful and extremely hard house, delicious food and condiments, exquisite and soft animal skins and god-given porcelain.

All kinds of good things that she hadn't seen before, she couldn't even look at them, she even had the idea of ​​staying in the Dashan Tribe as a sacrifice and not going back to the Blackwater Tribe.

After all, although she is a candidate for sacrifice, there are five candidates for sacrifice in their tribe. Whether she can become a priest or not requires hard training and study.

And she is not particularly loved by the priest, otherwise, when the Beast King Zhuang wanted to help the Dashan tribe, the priest would not have sent her to this small tribe.

What she thought was that as long as the mountain tribe supported her, she would stay.

It's a pity that this tribe doesn't know what's going on, and they don't have the slightest respect and respect for the priests. Here, the priests actually need to do the work themselves? !

She needs to do things like washing clothes and cooking by herself. Are these things a priest should do? !

This alone made her so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave!But due to the exhortation given by the priest before leaving, she had to stay.

Wondering what the hill tribes do with their hides, build their houses, make their weapons and those beautiful porcelains.

She had asked the patriarch named Ye many times, but he didn't tell her, which made Huyue even more angry, and people in the tribe were particularly displeased.

Secretly, if you don't tell me now, when the awakening ceremony needs to be held, there will always be times when you beg me.

Let's spend it, although she is impatient, but after thinking of a way, she will be able to return to the Blackwater Tribe to be a priest, and she will be able to bear it naturally.

When she got the method, she would definitely turn around and leave. Who would want to stay in this small tribe? !

It's a pity that things backfired, and the original priest of the Dashan tribe woke up!

Since waking up from that scene, she felt more and more that the tribe looked down on her. She just wanted some colored cloth to make clothes, but those people actually said no? !

It is simply unreasonable, how could there be no cloth when they brought back so much cotton from their tribe! ?

I have to say that Huyue really wronged them on this point.

After all, although their tribe has a lot of cotton, and the cotton planted by the tribe is about to have a good harvest, but now it is the windy season, and the tribe is busy harvesting and hunting.

The old people in the textile team took their children to turn over the sweet potatoes and thresh the corn, so busy that they didn't touch the ground.

The weaving is done in the cold season, and at most, some quilts are made before the trade fair to exchange materials... So it is true that there is no need for colorful cloth now.

But Huyue didn't believe it, she always felt that their tribe treated her harshly.

All day in the tribe, her eyes are not her eyes, her nose is not her nose, and even shellfish and fish took the time to make a meal for her and dropped it twice.

What hurt Bei was that it was porcelain!Porcelain that can be exchanged for many furry beasts!

Although there is no shortage of porcelain in their tribe, no one deliberately threw it? !The three little boys in her family didn't give the porcelain bowls for fear that they might break them.

Naturally, Huyue is not pleasing to the eye, and everyone is busy storing food, and there is no time to pay attention to whether Huyue is happy or not, so let her do as she likes.

Now that Huyue asked to go with them, Bell immediately mocked with a half-smile, "We're going to the field, there's dirt and dust everywhere.

If you go, the skirt on your body will be covered with mud, and you won't be able to wash it clean. Do you really want to go?Or let's go. "

"This..." Hu Yue obviously hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Go!"

She didn't believe that the Dashan tribe could still let their priests go to work in the fields? !It must be to check at the place where the porcelain is made, she must go.

Bei raised his eyebrows a little, but he didn't expect to be frightened. After a few thoughts in his mind, he agreed, "Okay, then you can go with us."
