The Primordial Demon Cultivation Record of Tivat Continent

————————————————————————

Yesterday's leisurely afternoon finally ended with a combination of ice cream and juice. In the early morning, Xia Yu woke up early and felt inexplicably full of energy.

Today is the first day of trying to make Kvass.

The bright morning may still be a good time for most people to sleep soundly, but for practitioners in the catering industry, especially the self-employed, this time is when they begin to fight for themselves.

Entering the stairs from the side door and going straight to the fountain square in the middle, Xia Yu, who was near the bakery, was immediately stopped by the tempting aroma of wheat.In front of the lighted bakery, the fat shop owner standing by the oven in front of the shop was taking the first baked bread out of the oven.

Perhaps because of the sound of his own footsteps, the store manager who had packed the first oven of bread wiped the sweat on his forehead and turned his head.

"Oh? Isn't this Boss Xia? Waking up so early?" Seemingly surprised by his arrival, some chubby middle-aged store managers pointed to several steaming long shoppers on the shelves on the middle floor. A loaf of bread, and then continued: "This is the whole-wheat bread you want. I added nuts, nuts, and malt according to the standards you gave. And I didn't add a drop of oil."

"But you add malt with a few crumbs in this bread, it shouldn't be eaten..."

"That's right, after four days, I'll ask the shop owner to try the drink brewed with these breads." After taking the bread that the shopkeeper had packed in the oil-paper pocket and a small amount of dry yeast powder and paying for Mora, he smiled. Xia Yu, who was waving by the owner of the same store, set foot on the road home.

Oil-free flatbread with nut kernels and a handful of malt and yeast, and you're done.The next step is to slice and bake a little to get a slightly golden crust.

He pushed open the door with the imprint and entered the cave in the pot. He came to the freezing tree and took out the large bottle of cranberries and raisins that had been soaked in advance in the freezer. Xia Yu, who carefully observed the condition of the bottle through the glass bottle, showed satisfaction. smile.

The raisins and dried cranberries swelled fully after eating enough water, and their bulging appearance looked extraordinarily attractive.At the same time, due to the osmotic effect, the clear water in the two glass bottles also took on a dark reddish-purple color.

Cut the bread into slightly thick slices, and while waiting for the oven to heat up, Xia Yu turned his head to look in the direction of the sound from the sound near the kitchen in the hole in the pot, with a surprised expression on his face. The little girl who was looking at her surroundings was walking towards the open-air kitchen.

"This way, Diona~" He waved at the rushing kitten lady. "Wake up so early?"

"Of course!" Diona, who replied to Xia Yu, had a proud look with her hands on her hips. "In order to destroy Mond's wine industry, since you want to learn the production method of this similar alcoholic beverage, it is nothing to get up a day or two early."

"But what's going on with this place? If it wasn't for Sister Noelle's reminder, I wouldn't even know there was such a big place behind that door." Existence is full of interest, and the tail behind the kitten lady who is looking at the surrounding scenery is shaking, and she looks extremely excited.

"Here, this is the treasure that Ying got while traveling in Liyue Harbor..." After telling Diona the news about the origin of the dust song pot that Ying said when showing off, Xia Yu found that the little guy's eyes bloomed. Different brilliance.

That's right, new things always raise the interest of these little guys. After the introduction, Xia Yu, who started to count the materials, found that it seemed that because of his omissions, some materials had been forgotten by himself.

Although all the raw materials for making kvass have been gathered, in the brewing process, since yeast is required for aerobic fermentation while preventing dust from falling into the bottle, clean gauze becomes a must in the initial brewing stage.

The use of fine medical gauze can not only play the role of isolating external impurities, but also ensure a breathable environment for the yeast to have a good environment. In this environment, it is definitely the best way to seal the bottle mouth in the initial stage of brewing kvass. supplies.But I forgot to buy medical gauze because of a momentary negligence.

"Diona, do you know where medical gauze is sold in Mond City?" Xia Yu, who asked the kitten lady, looked at the other party with a puzzled look and continued to explain: "I will use it for tying at the initial soaking and fermentation stage during the brewing process. Medical gauze is used for the mouth of the bottle."

"Medical gauze..." After hearing Xia Yu talking about the use of gauze, Diona answered without hesitation: "Of course it's in the West Wind Church! The prayer priests of the West Wind Church are responsible for healing all kinds of wounds. If you want gauze, just go to the West Wind Church, you will definitely have it!"

That's right... The most indispensable medical gauze is the doctor. Xia Yu, who was reminded by Diona, smiled helplessly.

Since I only need to toast a few slices of bread, I don't use too much charcoal.At present, it takes about 10 minutes for the charcoal put into the furnace to heat up the entire oven to a proper temperature after the initial igniting, and these 10 minutes are enough to go to the West Wind Church by yourself.

"Do you want to go to the West Wind Church together?" Xia Yu, who asked the kitten lady, looked at the other party and nodded decisively.

"Of course! Since you want to understand how this drink is made, you must understand every process of it in an all-round way~"

Taking Diona to A Yuan's side, and after returning to the hut with the help of A Yuan, the two of them walked briskly towards the West Wind Church, which is located on the highest floor of Mond City.

————————————————————————

"Ugh~" After a big yawn, Ying sat up from the big soft bed, and finally had a stable place to live, which made the blonde girl show a satisfied smile.Under his own explanation, A Yuan initially synchronized the time in the cave in the pot with the outside world.

The cave in the pot is really amazing~

Turning his head to look at the already lit sky outside the window, Ying, whose eyes were a bit complicated, let out a long sigh.

Oops, I'll have to deal with the stakes in a while...

But in general, the method of labor punishment is not without harvest. At least for a long time, I will remember that if you want to cut down trees, you have to go to the West Wind Knights to report first, or go directly to Liyue Port to buy finished wood products, which is the price. It's probably going to be a little hard to say.

The commotion from outside the small building caught Ying's attention. She put her head on the window sill and looked down. The blonde girl found Xia Yu in the kitchen who was talking with Diona.

Um... I can't hear what they are saying from a distance, and my current pajamas are not suitable for greeting them.It was better to wait until the relationship was over before going to see them. After watching Xia Yu fiddling with the hearth of the oven, he said a few words to Diona, and then the two left the cave in the pot.

Are you here to help yourself make breakfast?Yingying, who was making guesses, felt a little warm in her heart.

Since there is breakfast, it must be eaten while it is hot!Ying trotted to the kitchen, who hurriedly finished washing up and changed into her normal clothes. The slightly hot hearth, the slices of bread placed on the table, and two bottles of drinks that seemed to be juice made Ying confirm her guess. .

The sliced ​​bread is exuding a strong aroma of wheat, paired with the warming hearth and two large bottles of juice drinks. Although this kind of hard bread tastes a bit sloppy, the taste is better than the normal butter. The bread is also a little rough, but this bread has its own advantages.

That is, if you break it down into small pieces and chew it slowly, this oil-free bread will give off the wheat flavor of the yeast dough itself the more you chew it.I happen to have two bottles of jam, just spread a layer of jam on the bread slices, this oil-free bread will definitely be more fragrant

Sure enough, she came to help herself make breakfast, hehe~ The blond girl who put the bread into the hearth and waited quietly for the oven to heat up was full of anticipation.

1 minute passed quickly, and in the oven hearth, the bread slices exuding a strong smell of wheat due to the high temperature made Ying show a satisfied smile.After taking it out of the oven and spreading a small amount of jam on it, the blond girl biting off a small piece of bread confirmed her thoughts even more.

Sure enough, the oil-free bread is a little bit chewy, but the strong wheat aroma makes it more delicious before it is completely soaked in the mouth.And because of the addition of nut kernels and broken malt, when you bite into these pieces, the mouth will also bloom with an extra nutty aroma.

It's just that the wheat bran on the surface of the broken wheat grains is a little bit unclean... I smack the lips after the wheat bran sticking to the tongue sticks out. I don't know why, apart from the things that can be tasted, this whole wheat bread contains With a very special bitter taste.

Is that the reason for the little crumbs that were baked to dark green?In order to confirm her thoughts, the blond girl who pulled out a small crumb from the bread put it into her mouth. The faint fragrance and bitterness made Ying determine the source of the bitterness.

That's it!But...because this unknown little debris has been completely dried, I can't tell what it is.

Then there is the juice on the side. Ying, who carefully looked at the two bottles of drinks, felt a little confused.What is this method of making juice?

The swollen fruit granules are obviously made from dried fruit. Is there anything unique about this drink made from dried fruit?

"Don't eat it! That's the secret weapon we're going to use to make drinks!" Just as Ying was guessing what Xia Yu was doing, an anxious female voice from a distance made the blond girl turn her head.Diona, who was rushing towards her, was extremely emotional, and the puffy kitten seemed to be completely fried because she was eating slices of bread.

She hurriedly stretched out her hand to resist the little guy's little fist that was beating him, and Ying, who was a little surprised, quickly looked at Xia Yu who was thinking about coming here.

Xia Yu, who was holding a small white cloth bag in his hand, looked at himself with a self-blaming expression in his eyes. The wrong state made Ying, who was stunned, look down at Diona, who was baring his teeth at him.

broken!It seems that this bread is really not meant to be eaten directly...

Chapter 120 Kvass released from the sixth chapter, the remodeled courtyard

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief after simply checking the raw materials after the flashing.

Fortunately, there is enough bread, and because of the oil-free hard bread, the three loaves of bread are only a little less, and the pure water used for soaking dried fruit has not been drunk. In general, Not a big problem.

After gently patting the top of the head of the kitten girl who was still staring at Ying Ying with a vicious expression, Xia Yu comforted Diona when she looked up at her anxious look, "Don't worry, it's just a little bit. The loss has no effect on the brewing process for a while."

"Is it really okay?" The little girl with a worried look on her face finally relaxed after seeing Xia Yu nodding again, and turned to Ying, who didn't know what was going on, with a slightly disgusting look. The little guy's attention again focused on Xia Yu, who started making drinks.

The bread slices were sent into the hearth and started to bake. The simple process made Xia Yu idle for a while. Xia Yu, who looked around, searched for the fire balls that were playing in the hole in the pot.

Leaving aside other things for the time being, I didn't consider that it was indeed his own problem that Yingying would eat the raw materials used to make Kvass as breakfast.Right now, there needs to be something to divert Diona's hatred of Ying.Considering the fact that the original house cat likes to stay in a warm place, Fireball may be able to help divert Diona's attention.

The problem is that I can't move now...It takes less than 10 minutes for oil-free bread slices to bake in a high-temperature furnace to produce a golden surface. This time is definitely not enough for me in this area that has been expanded. I found a fire slime who was playing somewhere in the Cave in a Pot.

Add a small amount of sugar to the two jars of refrigerated fruit dry foaming liquid and heat it close to the hot furnace. Xia Yu, who observed that the bread slices had begun to change color, took them out of the furnace and broke them into large pieces. After adding the bread crumbs to the water bottle and completing the sealing with thin thread and gauze, the preliminary work of Kvass is completed.

"Is this done...?" Carefully looking at the bread cubes that had begun to bubble in the brown liquid, no matter how much Diona observed, she couldn't associate it with a delicious drink.

It's really just blistered bread... and the green layer of things deposited on the bottom of the bottle doesn't feel right no matter how you look at it.The weird visual perception reminds the kitten girl of hairy and moldy food for no reason.

vomit...

Could it be that Xia Yu was really making a joke with himself?It's not right, how can you make something so serious to make a joke... However, what is the taste of this kind of liquid that doesn't look very good, as long as you add it to the process of bartending, it can make the wine If it becomes unpleasant to drink, it can also become a very useful weapon for itself.

"Xia Yu, is this really drinkable?" After asking Xia Yu a question, Diona looked at the other party and nodded with great certainty.

"Don't worry, it's just the initial process of making the drink. What I need now is to get infusion water with fruity and bread flavors. Because I added a small amount of hop nuts and broken malt grains in it, so it must be soaked. It's going to be a huge change in flavor from now."

After explaining to Kitten Niang and Ying who hadn't made what he and Diona were making, Xia Yu carefully kept the prepared dry yeast.

These dry yeasts were exchanged after I promised the bakery owner that he would be able to taste new drinks similar to wine in a few days. extremely crucial role.Just when Xia Yu freed up his hands to prepare breakfast, the fireballs jumping from a distance caught the attention of Xia Yu and others.

There are monsters here!No... Diona, who was nervous about drawing a bow, suddenly remembered that Xia Yu had said that the conditions for entering the cave in the pot of Ying were a bit harsh, so there should be no beasts in this pot.Therefore, this fire slime should be the one that Xia Yu raised.

After not seeing him for a few months, the little guy has changed from being able to be held with one hand to a size that needs to be held with both hands, which is twice as big as before.

This time, it really took no effort. The fire ball that was close to the middle let Xia Yu reach out and pick up the little guy on the ground. He twisted his body and the fire ball with a happy expression on his face spread to the warm palm in the palm of his hand. It felt like Xia Yu smiled.

Although there is no rainy season due to the precise control of A Yuan in the cave in the pot, the temperature difference between morning and evening is directly related to the effect of sweetness in the growth of melons and fruits. Therefore, in the morning, it is only a little bright. The temperature is still lower than that of the sunny noon and afternoon.

At this time, the fire ball that acts as a hand warmer is particularly effective at these times. He gently touched the top of the little guy's head and took out some gel from his pocket to feed him with a happy expression. Fire ball, Xia Yu waved to Diona, who was looking at him.

"Let's wait for it to ferment today and brightly, and then we can continue the production process at this time the day after tomorrow."

The production of kvass is divided into three to five days production cycle according to the degree of fermentation, but the production process of the first two days is quite similar, that is, the taste of the bread and dried fruit is fully integrated into the soaking water. go.

Can we continue tomorrow?It takes a long time to make this drink... Xia Yu's answer made Diona, who had a vague understanding of the next production process, nodded.

Originally, I thought I could taste the taste of Xia Yu's special drink today, but now, it seems that Xia Yu's process of making this drink is not as simple as he imagined, just blending it.

But what will the finished product taste like?The little girl who was looking forward to seeing Xia Yu started making breakfast stabbed the blond girl again, and then her attention was attracted by the fireballs on the table.

I want to rub...

A few months ago, when I went to trouble with Xia Yu, I noticed that there were many monsters raised in Xia Yu's small courtyard, which had signed a trade contract with his father.The most numerous of them are these slimes, but the slimes were too small at that time, and their size was only a little bigger than an apple.

It looks soft and bouncy, and because it is a fire slime, no matter what she thinks, she feels very warm, and the little girl who looked at the fire ball involuntarily stretched out her hand.

Huo Tuan, who noticed Diona's actions, was surprised at first, and then the little guy who tightened his body seemed to find that Diona had no ill will towards him, and tried to get close to Diona's Huo Tuan, and was hugged by the kitten. .

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, and she felt the comfort of letting the kitten put her face close to the warm little guy.

Waiting for a week or so doesn't seem to be so hard anymore. For the first time, Miss Kitten, who felt a little reluctant, hoped that Xia Yu's cycle of making drinks could be extended.

These few days, isn't it a pleasure to rub against this warm fire slime every day when I ask Xia Yu about the specific progress of the drink?

Xia Yu, who started to cook breakfast, softened his entire expression. Diona, who was limp on the dining table with the fire slime, and the large bottle of unidentified soaking solution on the side, always felt that Ying, who seemed to have missed something, felt a little uncomfortable.

The inflated curiosity made the blond girl extremely want to know what Xia Yu and Diona were making, and what they planned to do with it, but no matter what the current situation looked at, she couldn't make herself pay the thoughts in her mind. to action.

Xia Yu was making breakfast, and disturbing him would definitely affect the quality of the breakfast, and Diona, the little girl on the side, was finally attracted by the fire slime, so she was not disturbing her because she reminded her that she ate it. What about the slices of bread?

What's even more troublesome is that I can't analyze any useful information from the big bottle of bubble water... Curiosity is like those countless flying fireflies flying around in Ying's heart, quickly. The speed made it impossible for him to catch it.

what! !So uncomfortable!

Stalling, raising monsters, and talking with everyone in Mond... Except for the big bottle of Kvass drink being made, Xia Yu found that his life rhythm 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 re-fermentation, and storing in sealed bottles, the production of Kvass is coming to an end.

It's finally done meow!Apart from Xia Yu, the one who was most anxiously waiting was Diona, who was looking forward to the effect of the finished drink.Looking at the bottles of brown liquid, the kitten found for the first time that the production of drinks can be so complicated.

Starting from every step of the second round of fermentation and blending, it seems to be in order to make all the drinks taste good. The subsequent production process is apart from squeezing the bread and dried fruit to make juice. Besides, each process was completed by himself under the guidance of Xia Yu.

As far as the end result is concerned, this large bottle of clear brown liquid does look like that.The most important thing is the foam on its surface, which does look like a bit of beer.

"Xia Yu, is this ready to drink?" Diona, who held up the glass vial in her hand, was full of anticipation.After seeing Xia Yu nodding to indicate completion, the little guy couldn't wait to pull the cork off...

Meow meow meow!The sudden burst of bubbles caught Diona by surprise.He hurriedly picked up the glass on the side and filled it with the drink that had been sprinkled. The state of half a glass of drink and half a glass of bubbles made Diona think of it together with beer.

Really like beer!Diona, who took a small sip, carefully savored the change in taste in her mouth.
