The Primordial Demon Cultivation Record of Tivat Continent

"Oh?" The store manager, who looked back and forth between Xia Yu and Kitten Niang, raised his interest.The cuisine made by one of them can be said to be a hit in the city of Mond. The excellent quality and suitable taste even make the foolish diplomats and guards stationed in the city become loyal repeat customers, while the other is a record There is a legend that wines made from any raw materials are well received by customers.

Under this strong alliance, could it be said that there will be any new dishes or wines born?

"I wonder if the store manager can customize some special breads here?"

Xia Yu, who asked questions, affirmed the store owner's idea. Under normal circumstances, how can there be customers who specialize in custom-made bread?Even if the various types of bread in this store are not the best in Mond City, they can definitely rank in the forefront.

Thinking of this, the store manager who put away his smile became serious, and then said: "I don't know what kind of bread Boss Xia wants, can you tell me how to prepare it? If it is not too troublesome, the fermentation will start this morning. If you want to get bread with a mellow wheat flavor, you should be able to make it at noon tomorrow."

"That's right, I want some butter-free bread made from pure flour mixed with a small amount of slightly broken malt. If possible, it's best to wrap a very small amount of washed hop flowers in the bread. Add a very small amount of salt when folding the dough, and the charcoal for baking is best made of pine wood. Also, boss, do you have dry bread powder with yeast retained here?"

Xia Yu, who gave the type of bread he needed, made the shop owner's eyes go black.

This... what is this for?The emulsification effect of butter can make the bread retain more moisture when baking, and the baked bread has a sweeter and richer aroma. Of course, it does not mean that pure wheat-flavored butter-free bread is bad, but you What to add to it...

Isn't the wheat flour used to make the bread ground after the wheat ears are threshed and finely selected?What is the purpose of adding malt grains alone?

If it is put into soft bread, these finely broken malt grains can also play a role in enhancing the taste, but you are hard bread without butter... It even emphasizes adding a small amount of salt to smooth out the gluten and increase it The toughness of this... After it's baked and dried, it really won't be dry and hard to bite and break your teeth?

As for this fragrant hop, I have heard of it myself. It is said that it seems to be added to the beer traded in the winter country. It seems that the special taste of beer is because of this thing.But you are baking bread... and the charcoal fire you asked for is still a pine charcoal fire with a strong smoky fragrance. It feels like the store owner who is listening to the book can't understand why the two of them want such bread.

As for the yeast stored in this dry bread flour, I do have it in my store, but compared with the yeast cultivated in wet dough, the activity of the yeast cultivated in this dry bread is not a little bit lower, and I don’t imagine it if I want to reactivate them. so easy.

But what does Xia Yu want this thing for?Toast?Not really... He is the only one who can be regarded as a full-fledged chef in his booth, so he shouldn't come to grab business with the bakery.

To sum up, the kind of bread that Xia Yu wants, even if it is soaked in tomato and vegetable soup that softens and can be eaten, the taste obtained is not as good as fluffy butter bread...

"Boss Xia, are you sure you really need this kind of bread? It might not taste very good." The shop owner who reminded Xia Yu sighed after seeing Xia Yu nod. "Okay, according to the price, because the price of hops is a little expensive, one kilogram of bread is [-] moras, what do you think? The other thing is yeast... Can you tell me what you plan to make? something?"

"The price is ok, the deal!" Xia Yu, who got the bread at a fair price, was in a good mood. Looking at the shop owner who looked at him curiously, Xia Yu explained with a smile: "Actually, I want to These things are meant to be used to brew some beverages."

Use bread to make drinks?The shop owner who got the answer from Xia Yu stumbled again and almost fell to the ground.

The taste of bread after soaking in water can't be more clear. The soft taste and bad mouth experience of soaked bread mixed in water are enough to make anyone who loves bread frown.

Can something like this really be used to make a drink?

————————————————————————

This... is this done?Diona, who left the bakery with Xia Yu, was a little dizzy. Although she didn't know what kind of bread Xia Yu ordered, just judging from the shop owner's suspicious appearance after he took the order, this kind of bread is very popular in the shop owner. It definitely belongs to the type of dark cuisine.

Is it really reliable?Diona, who was still full of confidence, suddenly had no idea what to do in the next few days.

Forget it, no matter how much!Anyway, I have been cursed that no matter what I use to make drinks, what is the meaning of a mere dark food type bread?

"Xia Yu, how many days does it take to make this wine?" The little girl, who was worried about the time after finishing the bread, began to think about the time.

According to the news that I have been lurking in the Mond wine industry during this period of time, for example, the wine produced by Chenxi Winery is brewed because the grapes need to be fermented at a specific temperature and humidity, and the production cycle is very long. long.

If Xia Yu intends to teach himself this kind of drink that has a long time period, wouldn't it have any advantages?Diona, who turned her attention to Xia Yu and waited for an answer, found that Xia Yu's attention was again attracted by some small stalls on the side of the road.

Raisins, dried berries, half-fermented raspberries, and pineapples, just as his thoughts diverged for a short while, Xia Yu already had countless kinds of dried fruits and some that seemed to be overripe. Like a fruit that is about to spoil.

What are these things used for?With the apparently unreliable experience of buying bread before, Diona, who felt that her tolerance was much better, no longer felt that there was anything strange about what Xia Yu was carrying.

Anyway, Xia Yu will also reveal its usage, so I don't need to worry about it...

"Huh? How long does it take to brew? It takes about three days from getting the bread to the completion of the production." Xia Yu, who scanned the stalls back and forth but found no trace of sparkling water, said, "Diona, you know Is there anywhere that sells sparkling water?"

Although he once doubted whether the world could make carbonated drinks, since he went to the Angel's Gift Tavern, some sparkling cocktail drinks prepared by Charles have dispelled all kinds of doubts in this regard.

The feeling that the small bubbles that pierced the tongue slightly after drinking it in the mouth burst open, there is no doubt that it is sparkling water.

But I searched for so long in Mond City, but I couldn't find a place to sell basic sparkling water on the market...

"Sparkling water? There are some in the bar of the Cat's Tail Tavern. If you want, just go and get it." The little girl who finished explaining looked at the overripe pineapples and raspberries in Xia Yu's hands, and asked: " Are these overripe and dying fruits going to be used to make jam?"

Mash the overripe fruit into mud, add some water, and cook it for a while with the minimum firepower. After the water is dried up, you will get a lot of natural jam. As for the sour taste produced by the jam, just add a little Honey or melted viscous sugar water can solve it.

The sweet jam is smeared on the bread slices and has a sweet and fruity flavor, which is quite a good ingredient.The little girl who thought Xia Yu would nod her head in agreement found that Xia Yu shook his head after listening to his guess.

"No, these are also used to make imitation alcoholic fruity drinks, but they need the help of sparkling water." Xia Yu, who gave the result, once again made the little girl show a blank expression.

Bread can make beverages similar to wine, and juice and sparkling water can also make beverages similar to wine. The former will not be mentioned, and the latter has also made many of the same styles in bars.

But why don't you think of them as wine?

Chapter 110 Diona and pineapple beer, a new crisis?

Pineapple beer is broadly classified into three categories. One is a wine-flavored beer that is fermented by mixing pineapple juice and wort. Its taste is equivalent to mixing a certain amount of pineapple juice on the basis of beer. the taste of.

The other is a fruit wine made from pineapples in a way similar to wine fermentation. Compared with the former, the taste of pineapple fruit wine is naturally more inclined to the taste of the fruit itself. Similar to wine, it is also produced by using the fermentation process. Pineapple wine and pineapple beer are both alcoholic beverages.

As for the last category of pineapple beer flavored beverages, this is a pure non-alcoholic beverage.Bartenders need to use various non-alcoholic raw materials to simulate the taste of pineapple wine or pineapple beer. Although this may sound outrageous, for those who can't touch the wine and want to know what pineapple beer or pineapple wine tastes like For the target group, this pineapple-flavored drink is their best choice.

Of course, the craftsmanship of each company is different, and the gap between this pineapple-flavored beverage is generally the largest. As for which one customers will like, this is a matter of opinion.

With all the purchased raw materials and a confused little girl, he came to the door of the Cattail pub where Diona worked, and gently pushed open the door of the pub that was closed in the morning. Margo, the proprietress sitting on the round chair of the bar Rita was holding the little black cat that she had just recovered with a happy expression on her face.

"I'm so sorry for this customer... Ala~ it's Diona sauce and Mr. Xia Yu." Margaret, who was thinking of seeing off guests, saw Diona and Xia Yu who came to the store with large bags and small bags. smiled. "I bought so many fruits and dried fruits because I want to try alcohol, right? Just use all kinds of things in the bar."

It seems that it was because of her extra trust in Diona, the new star of the bartender and the kanban lady she recruited. After speaking to the two, the lady boss's attention returned to the little black cat she was hugging tightly.Looking at the helpless expression of the little black cat struggling frantically in Margaret's arms, Xia Yu looked a little embarrassed.

Maybe that's the reason why the lady boss's cat runs away so often?But these have nothing to do with me... After glancing at the desperate black cat with Diona with sympathetic eyes, Xia Yu and Diona came to the back of the bar.

Lemon-flavored sparkling water, caramel sauce, and honey.After cutting the peeled pineapple into small pieces and rinsing it for a while, he took out a manual pressing machine from under the counter and squeezed the pineapple and raspberry respectively to take out the juice. Liquid kitten.

What are the most critical steps in imitating the taste of wine using various raw materials?That is to understand what pineapple beer and pineapple wine taste like.

The taste of pineapple beer is very easy to understand, that is, the very light sweet and sour taste of pineapple and a slightly spicy taste are added to the original flavor of the beer, but because of the foam produced by hops, it has a moderate degree of killing taste. It's easy to hide the mild spiciness of pineapple.Therefore, the taste of pineapple beer is still dominated by the slightly bitter and mellow aroma after malt fermentation.

It is precisely because of this that for some alcoholics, the taste of pineapple in pineapple beer is more like superfluous and destroys the original aroma produced by the joint fermentation of malt and hops.

As for pineapple wine, it is even more simple and rude. This is simply fermented pineapple wine with the aroma of fermented wine. What flavor needs to be added depends on the producer's personal preference.

Although Xia Yu didn't know how to start bartending, there was a professional bartender beside him.According to Charles, the bartender of the Angel's Gift Tavern, the director of the Dawn Winery under Diluc tried to poach Diona, but he was bitten because he happened to step on the minefield of Diona's impression of wine. .

Being able to bring a pub back to life and attract the favor of a rival manager is definitely the highest level of recognition of Diona's bartending standards.

"Diona, the pineapples and raspberries I bought are a bit overripe but haven't reached the level of spoilage. You should know the flavor of beer, right? You can use pineapple juice to simulate the base of the fermented flavor in the wine. Caramel sauce imitates a slightly bitter taste similar to malt and hops, and then uses lemon sparkling water to simulate the slightly killing taste of beer foam and wine when the bubbles stimulate the tongue and mouth?"

Eh?Was it supposed to be combined like this?Diona, who heard Xia Yu talk about these theories, seemed extremely serious.

In the past bartending process, because I only thought about how to make the wine unpleasant, when blending it, I didn't care about the needs of customers and the nature of each raw material.Because of the curse of making wine delicious no matter how you mix it, even if you add raw materials randomly, it is more than enough to satisfy customers.

But it is different now, because in order to achieve the effect of mixing fake drinks with real ones, it is extremely important to imitate the original taste of the wine. First, the fermented taste after malt fermentation, and then the It is properly trimmed according to the customer's requirements before it is formed...

This is an extremely important step that he needs to take to destroy the Mond wine industry!

After pouring all kinds of raw materials into her own mixing jug according to Xia Yu's introduction, Diona, who was carefully shaking the mixing glass, looked serious.

Because the sparkling water will lose its stimulating and killing taste after being shaken, the time of adding the lemon-flavored sparkling water was deliberately adjusted to the end.

After cooling with ice element, the well-mixed base liquid and lemon-flavored sparkling water are evenly mixed together.The orange-yellow liquid with the small bubbles turned slightly was reflected in the eyes of Margaret, who was watching the production process of the two.

The preparation of this glass of 'wine' does not use the various base wines on the shelf!Juice, caramel sauce, and sparkling water is what this 'wine' is all about...

Is this really okay?With curiosity, Margaret, who stood up and walked slowly to the front of the bar, asked the two of them, "Excuse me, can you let me taste this pineapple juice wine?"

"Of course it's fine~" Diona, who replied to Margaret, seemed full of confidence.Looking at the elegant appearance of the owner who picked up the wine glass and slowly tasted it, the taste of this can of pineapple-flavored juice also aroused Diona's curiosity.

"In the smell, the pineapple has a strong fermented flavor, but there is no greasy feeling. The feeling of stimulating the tongue coating of the bubble drink really imitates the killing taste of beer. This drink really feels like drinking, but There's really no alcohol in it."

With her extraordinary business acumen, Margaret immediately identified the group of people who most needed this 'wine' without any alcohol.

That's someone who comes to a bar for a drink and still thinks about not losing face by getting drunk.

"Mr. Xia Yu, Diona, can I print this fruity drink without alcohol into the menu of the Cat's Tail Tavern?" The approval from the proprietress made the kitten's eyes light up.

In this way, his first non-alcoholic flavored drink is finished, and Xia Yu also gave himself an idea, that is, how to make a wine-flavored drink that imitates the taste of wine.With this as a reference, I will be able to imitate and create more 'juice wine' according to this idea!

Mond's wine industry, prepare for the huge shock brought by Diona!

————————————————————————

The teaching of fruit juice wine is completed, and the production of the remaining kvass will take a few days.Diona, who had the same thoughts buried in the creation of 'fruit wine', and Ms. Margaret, the owner of the Cat's Tail Tavern, said goodbye, and Xia Yu, who returned to the small courtyard, planned to first buy dried raisins, cranberries and other dried fruits. Do foaming.

The kvass with a short production cycle is more fermented than the type that can’t be left for two or three days. Therefore, the characteristics of insufficient wheat aroma need to choose some dried fruit to increase its flavor, so that the whole drink version of kvass becomes delicious. stand up.

After putting the container with raisins and dried cranberries in the refrigerator in his small courtyard, Xia Yu, who estimated that it was about to start business at noon, packed all the prepared raw materials and brought them to his small shop.

The barbecued pork that needs to be grilled is hung in the furnace that is preheated after the charcoal fire is ignited, and the temperature is slightly restored.The rice is steamed on the stove, and then the vegetable soup that can be prepared in advance is heated up... Xia Yu, who is orderly preparing the dishes for lunch at noon, seems to be very busy, but the smooth production process gives people a sense of devotion to cooking. a feeling of.

"Yo, Xia Yu, have you started to prepare?"

Looking in the direction the voice came from, Charles, the bartender who waved hello to himself, looked for a bench near the operating area with a smile on his face and sat down. "Xia Yu, you're a little embarrassed. It's obvious that our cooperative relationship is so good, but you went to fund the Cat's Tail Tavern."

Although what Charles said was a bit provocative, if he could tell from the smile he couldn't help from the corners of his eyes and his mocking tone, the other party didn't take it seriously, he simply Just a few jokes.

"It's just some non-alcoholic juice drinks. You can't let everyone who enters the tavern drink it? Just like you only sell to Ying and Paimon juice drinks." He also answered Charles in a playful tone. .Xia Yu began to admire the intelligence network of Chenxi Winery.

How much time has passed?The news between himself and Diona has already been inquired by Charles and the others.

It is indeed the bar of the heroes of the dark night of Mond. Even if he has retired from the front line of the Knights, he is still protecting Mond in his own way.

What a proud senior of the Knights...

————————————————————————

After coordinating the turnover at noon, he turned his attention to Mona, who had already adapted to work. Xia Yu, who felt that he could live a normal life for a few days, looked at the sky with a contented expression.

It's almost time to close the store... Just when Xia Yu was about to shout, a blond man with slightly beige hair who appeared in the field of vision and walked towards the store caught Xia Yu's attention.

Dressed in a dark blue outfit like the night sky, a small eye patch covers the right eye and the small half of the cheek on the right side. "Excuse me, can I pack it?" The blond man with a flat tone made Xia Yu more vigilant.

The breath of this person is so strange... It seems that he is trying his best to suppress the manic energy-like feeling. More importantly, with this familiar feeling, the first thing he thinks of is the former member of the Abyss Order. to assassinate his own mage.

This... Could it be that the high-level officials of the Abyss Religion have sneaked into the city?However, because of the presence of the Dragon King Ruoduo, Xia Yu was not too worried that this man would suddenly attack him.

"Of course, do you want bread or rice for the main meal?"

“Bread bar...”

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief at the man who left without hesitation after accepting the food and payment.Looking at Charles' thoughtful look, Xia Yu asked, "Mr. Charles, do you know this man?"

"I can't say if I know it..." Charles shook his head, who replied to Xia Yu. "In terms of this person, at most, I have seen him often in the bar in the past few days. Order a glass of wine and drink there alone without saying anything. I thought he was going to cause trouble, but every time he was good Payment, it looks like it should be waiting for someone."

"However, it's a little strange that, with the intelligence network of Dawn Winery, we didn't find out what the man named Daines Reb came to Mond City for..."

This... the situation has become complicated... Xia Yu, who sighed lightly, frowned slightly.

As far as the current form is concerned, it is clear that only the existence of the Abyss Religion is the only one who wants his own life, but now a person who is very similar to the members of the Abyss Religion has entered Mond... Just in Xia Yu When thinking about how to deal with this situation, a female voice from far and near interrupted Xia Yu's thinking.

"Oops! It's late! It's late!" Ying and Paimon, who hurriedly ran towards the store, appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision. It seemed that something was delayed, and their faces were dusty. The two were a little embarrassed.If you look closely, there are some traces of sawdust in the beautiful blonde hair of the blond girl.

......
