Chapter 143 Wine Tasting

Jiayi walked into the cellar and moved out a small oak barrel. It was the wine he brewed. He wanted to see how it was brewed. Jiayi actually didn’t know how to brew wine. He only knew how to distillate it, but there was no sorghum rice here, and there was not even sugarcane, so he didn’t know what base wine to use to distillate it.

He tried to use wheat to distillate it, but the steamed wine always smelled like rubber. It was strange, so I had to give up. He had heard of high-quality beer, and the price was not cheap, but it was definitely not brewed, and it had special craftsmanship. For ordinary beer, the highest is only 5 or 6 degrees. The 8 degrees and 12 degrees we usually see is the malt concentration, not the alcohol content.

So Jiayi made no ale wine, and he found wild fruits and grapes from the mountains. In fact, he couldn't tell the quality of the wine, but everyone who drank it thought it was good.

One of the most popular types of Jiayi brews is the Concentric Gin, which is brewed by Jiayi using wild fruits of unfixed species. Then add juniper powder to the brewed wine and then distilled. After the wine is distilled, add the juice extracted from ice crystal grass and put it in an oak barrel to aged.

When this wine is in the mouth, it only feels a clear feeling falls into your stomach, like a sip of ice water and the aroma of juniper. After drinking this wine, it feels like it is not drinking, which makes people unable to help drinking more. But after a while, the drinks explode together, making people instantly drunk.

Jiayi used this kind of wine to make Dai'er. She didn't feel it at the time, and then she got drunk and saw who beat whom. Perhaps because of ice crystal grass juice, this wine was refreshed the next day after getting drunk, and she didn't feel like a hangover at all.

So although the mage should not drink alcohol, Im still likes to drink some of this kind of alcohol before going to bed. Jiayi has no special preference, but sometimes he also likes to drink a drink, but he never gets drunk.

Jiayi is actually a bit addicted to alcohol, but he doesn't like to be drunk. He likes to drink alone without caring about others. Just feel satisfied and be simple and happy.

Since he discovered the effects of Concentric Gin, he has also tried to add other messy magical herbs, but none of them are of use and has not obtained a new wine with special effects.

Jiayi didn't know why this happened.

Fortunately, Jiayi is indeed talented in fungi cultivation. He has used his spare time to cultivate yeast for winemaking in recent years, but he has screened out good yeasts. The quality of the wine made with these yeasts is actually quite good.

He brought a small oak barrel to the front door, where a table had been set up, and Deer and Flower were sitting next to him. Today Im went to the provincial capital, so they would sit here to taste the wine that Jiayi took out. If Im was at home, they would never dare to do this.

"What kind of wine is this?" Flower couldn't wait to ask when he saw the barrel that Kaichi took out.

Daier doesn't care about wine, but Flower prefers drinking, especially high-alcohol.

However, although Jiayi does not like low-alcohol wines with single-digit alcohol content, he does not like wines with too high degrees, which makes it easy to get drunk. Therefore, even if the wine brewed by Jiayi is distilled, the degree of the degree will not be very high. He usually mixes all the distilled wines in each batch, regardless of the degree, and keeps them in an oversized wooden barrel for a while, and then packs them into a small barrel for aging.

"No, it should be invalid."

Jiayi's answer was very straightforward, which made Flower stunned for a moment, feeling that he was not talking about himself, and he was not at all taboo.

"Your ham tastes good, but it's too salty, why don't you make it lighter?"

Jiayi's ham actually tastes good, the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. There is also a special flavor. In addition, there is no ham produced nearby, which is delicious and novel for Flowers and the others, so they prefer to eat it. It doesn't matter if they eat it raw. However, when Jiayi was afraid of bad things when he made it, he touched a lot of salt, which made it very salty. The thin slices he cut now are the meat inside the ham he chose, but they are still very salty, so they will drink a sip of wine and press it down every time they taste it.

I'm pretty good at drinking.

"Did you do it for the first time? Of course there will be problems. I didn't know how to magic at that time, so I couldn't do it. If I do it now, I can manually connect the bacterial seeds and use magic to kill bacteria, so that I can use low-concentration salt to marinate the ham."

Flower did not understand what Jiayi meant, what sterilization and bacterial species were meant to simply remove toxins, but he could use less salt to prevent the ham from being so salty.

"Then why don't you do it?"

"It's so wasteful. I'm not interested in doing this now. I'll teach you this method. From now on, there will be another specialty in the territory. You just need to give me some every year and give me some shares in my family." Jia Yi suddenly said this.

Flower was stunned and thought that this was too advantageous to Jiayi. You should know that in this era, every unique craft is strictly kept confidential, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a heirloom.

"Forget it, forget it!" Flower was still a little shy and had not yet practiced his face.

Although Flower refused, Jiayi thought this was a good way. Jiayi would definitely go out for a trip in the future, so that the family would not have armed forces to protect him. He did not want to leave too much money to the family. First, Gary and Erica had limited knowledge and may not have great development. Second, if they were too rich, they would easily attract others' covetousness. This would be good now.

Although Jiayi has learned magic, he is still just a magic apprentice and cannot provide shelter for his family. However, when he becomes a magician, he will definitely go out for a trip and may go to Longgen College to study. He cannot stay at home and cannot protect his family's safety. The transportation conditions are inconvenient now, and if he thinks Jiayi dies outside, he will not have any thoughts about his family. And if there are any bandits who are wandering over, they will definitely not be worried.

Therefore, Jiayi has never dared to give more benefits to his family, just to avoid indigestion.

He now wants his younger brother to learn the knight's way with the lord's family, and his sister also studies with his own support and develops towards scholars. As long as the two can grow up, Gary has a foundation, especially the knight, who is not as unique as a magician, and can better maintain the development of the family.

So Jiayi and Flower are not only for the friendship between classmates and friends, but also for selfishness. I hope that they can give their family more care when they go out in the future.
