The prehistoric group pet is a lucky star

Liu Shuzhou watched Zhao Gongming carefully pour the little translucent liquid into the jade cup, and didn't know how to react for a moment.

He was suddenly a little funny, the God of Wealth, who has a lot of money, actually treasured a pot of ordinary fruit wine like this.

That's right, what Zhao Gongming showed him mysteriously was a pot of wine that was not filtered clean and smelled a little sour.

In later generations, this kind of wine can only be regarded as ordinary, and it is simply incomparable with those famous wines.

Zhao Gongming didn't notice that his expression was not right, so he introduced it to him solemnly: "One of our juniors got it by accident. It is said that it is the water bestowed by God. He found it in the tree hole where he stored grain. There was no such water there..."

The more Liu Shuzhou listened, the more strange he became, and he couldn't help interrupting him: "Our junior brother, is he following a monkey?"

"Junior Brother, have you heard about this?" Zhao Gongming was slightly taken aback.

Liu Shuzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: What kind of god-given water, isn't it monkey wine?

According to legend, monkeys collect all kinds of fruits and store them in tree holes. After a long time, the fruits will be fermented into wine by themselves, which is called "monkey wine".

Apparently, the monkey brother hid the minced fruit in the tree hole for storage, but forgot to eat it in time, and unintentionally "brewed" the monkey wine.Apparently the wine had been sitting for a long time and hadn't been sealed, so it tasted a bit sour.

It turns out that in this era wine has not yet appeared, Liu Shuzhou secretly thought.

If you think about it carefully, it's not uncommon. In the prehistoric era, people only focused on cultivation, and those who were above Xuanxian's cultivation level could make bigu, so naturally they didn't care much about eating and drinking.Even if we eat, it is seldom to satisfy our appetite, but only because the food is helpful to practice, such as the ginseng fruit of Wuzhuang Temple.

Liu Shuzhou has been in the prehistoric world for so many years, it seems that he has never eaten anything delicious.

Seeing Zhao Gongming sipping the wine with a look of intoxication on his face, Liu Shuzhou's heart moved and he asked, "Senior brother, is this monkey wine... God-sent water very popular?"

"Isn't that right? It's not much at all. If it weren't for your senior brother and my face, my junior brother wouldn't even give it to me." Zhao Gongming showed a bit of color.

Junior Brother Xuan is the monkey who "brewed" monkey wine by accident. His real name is Xuan Xuan, a spirit monkey who can only predict the past.

Liu Shuzhou was thoughtful.

"Why, junior brother, do you still want it?" Zhao Gongming said in a regretful tone, "I'm afraid it's too late, the water has already been divided."

Liu Shuzhou smiled and said: "Brother misunderstood, I don't want it, but... I can make this kind of water."

"What?!" Zhao Gongming couldn't hold the cup firmly in his hand for a moment, and some wine spilled from the cup, and he hurriedly took it with his mouth in distress.

Such a claustrophobic appearance is quite different from his usual generous image, Liu Shuzhou wanted to laugh a little.

"Junior brother, don't make fun of this kind of thing." Zhao Gongming shook his head disapprovingly, thinking that his junior brother usually looks quite stable, why is he so immature now?

Liu Shuzhou didn't mind Zhao Gongming's attitude at all, and said calmly, "Brother, don't you believe me?"

Seeing him so calm, Zhao Gongming murmured in his heart.Based on his understanding of Liu Shuzhou, it doesn't seem like he's talking big. Could it be that what he said is true?Then again, he is from Mount Buzhou, where the Wu people live in settlements, so maybe there really is some secret method handed down from ancient times.

"Can you really create water from heaven?" Zhao Gongming was skeptical.

Liu Shuzhou smiled and nodded: "Okay, but before that, I need to make some preparations, and I have to ask my senior brother for help."

***

Liu Shuzhou plans to make wine.

It is said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. To make fruit wine, the first thing to do is to select the raw materials for wine making.

He couldn't pick them all by himself, so he asked Zhao Gongming for help.Zhao Gongming called out the triplet sister Sanxiao, and Sanxiao followed up with the younger sister, the Holy Mother of Jinling, Caiyun Fairy Shiji... Such a dragging one after another, it developed into a big group.

Soon, the news that Liu Shuzhou was going to make "God-given Water" spread throughout Penglai Island.

A group of people, including Jin Guangxian, scoffed at this, and often laughed at his overreaching——

"I'm dying of laughter. The water is a gift from heaven, so it can be easily produced? That guy Liu Shuzhou must be talking big."

"Sensational! Absurd!"

"Heh, he's just a true immortal. Because Master likes him, he even forgets how much he weighs. Let's see how he will get down..."

Because of Tongtian's "wrong love", Liu Shuzhou's reputation in Penglai Island is not very good, and such remarks have been echoed a lot.For a time, he was pushed to the forefront.

"Junior brother, why are you doing this?" Zhao Gongming frowned, pacing back and forth in Liu Shuzhou's bamboo building, worried.

There was no urgency on Liu Shuzhou's face, he was still leisurely nibbling on the fruit: "Brother, do you think I'm asking for trouble?"

Although Zhao Gongming didn't speak, the expression on his face already showed everything.

"No and no." Liu Shuzhou took a bite of the big ruddy and plump strawberry, and the sweet juice burst between his lips and teeth instantly. He nodded in satisfaction, and made a note on the bamboo slip, intending to use this kind of strawberry to make wine raw materials.

Liu Shuzhou pointed out something: "If this matter is successful, it may be a good turning point."

Zhao Gongming is also a smart person. After thinking about it, he understood Liu Shuzhou's meaning: Liu Shuzhou's current position in Penglai Island is actually very embarrassing. Because of Tongtian, he has suffered a lot of suspicion and jealousy for no reason. He didn't have any friends, and those who approached him intentionally were those who had other plans and wanted to establish a good relationship with Tongtian through him, so they were excluded a lot.

No matter how much Tongtian loves him, it's useless for Zhao Gongming to protect him, because they can't be by his side all the time.Things like last time Jin Guangxian came to find fault happened from time to time, although Liu Shuzhou resolved them one by one, but it is not an option to go on like this, it will affect daily life too much.

The reason why Liu Shuzhou proposed to make wine was mainly because he wanted to borrow "wine" to offer to his teachers and brothers. They all said that people can eat people with a short mouth. If Liu Shuzhou can really provide good wine that makes Penglai disciples flock to it, it will be very good for interpersonal relationships. improvement.

Of course, this premise is that Liu Shuzhou can really conjure "God-given water".

The worry on Zhao Gongming's brows eased a little, but he still had some worries: "If it doesn't work..." If it doesn't work, I'm afraid that the younger brother will suffer even more severe cynicism.

"Don't worry, it will be done." As if seeing Zhao Gongming's doubts, Liu Shuzhou comforted him.

At the beginning, he couldn’t guarantee 100%. After a period of investigation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of the wild fruits grown on Penglai Island is not bad, probably because of the climate, the sugar content is high, and it can be brewed without adding sugar. Delicious fruit wine.

The reason why the monkey wine tasted bad last time was mainly due to poor preservation, and had little to do with the quality of the wine itself.

Liu Shuzhou selected the best among the best, and selected a batch of the best quality fruits for wine making.Wash strawberries, mulberries, plums and other fruits, mash them and squeeze the juice, store them in oak barrels, seal and ferment at a suitable temperature for dozens of days, and gradually the aroma of wine will come out.

Since Liu Shuzhou started brewing wine, Zhao Gongming, who likes to sit in the bamboo house, has been coming here every day. He smelled a mellow and intoxicating smell before he entered the door.

"But it's ready?" Zhao Gongming, who is always handsome, showed an excited expression, and he didn't bother to say hello to Liu Shuzhou, and walked quickly to the side of the oak barrel where the wine was stored, and the aroma of the wine became stronger.

He sniffed it vigorously, showing an uncertain expression: "Why do I feel that this smell is even more fragrant than that of Junior Brother Xuan?"

If wine is not stored properly, it will quickly go sour and spoil.The monkey wine brought by Zhao Gongming last time was slightly sour because it had been stored for a long time.Liu Shuzhou specially made oak barrels for wine making. The substance of oak itself will have a wonderful chemical reaction with the wine, making the taste of the wine more mellow and soft, and the aroma is naturally more intoxicating.

Now that the wine has been brewed, it is time to fulfill its mission - to be drunk.Liu Shuzhou smiled mysteriously when he heard the words, and said to Zhao Gongming, "Brother, do you want to try it?"

Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up: "Is it possible?" He wanted to try it a long time ago, but Liu Shuzhou had always said that it was not yet time, so he had to wait patiently.

Liu Shuzhou smiled and scooped up a spoonful of wine with a bamboo wine ladle and poured it into the cup. The wine was clear and transparent, exuding a strong passion fruit fragrance. The lips and teeth are full of fluid.

Zhao Gongming carefully raised the glass to his lips, took a sip, the mellow wine with a little sweetness exploded on his tongue, and the aroma of the wine filled the air, intoxicating.

He wanted to taste it bit by bit, but he couldn't help but took a sip, and then another sip.When he reacted, he found that the cup was empty.

"Junior brother..." Zhao Gongming looked at Liu Shuzhou embarrassedly.

Liu Shuzhou understood what he meant, and calmly gave him another spoonful.

This time Zhao Gongming didn't dare to drink too much, and only took small sips to taste. Every time he took a sip, he would squint his eyes and think about it for a long time, and couldn't help feeling: "It's delicious, it's so delicious."

Zhao Gongming drank several cups in a row, his cheeks flushed slightly.Liu Shuzhou asked with a smile: "How do you think it compares with the heaven-sent water of junior brother?"

"His water is also worthy of being called heaven-sent water!" Zhao Gongming suddenly raised his voice, looking a little annoyed.

He pointed at the wine barrel crookedly, and stretched out a finger: "Junior brother, this is the water you brewed! It's so, so delicious." After finishing speaking, he hiccupped and tilted his head , the whole person fell backwards.

Liu Shuzhou was taken aback, and hurried forward to support Zhao Gongming. Hearing his even and slight snoring, it was a bit funny: it turns out that the God of Wealth can also get drunk.

However, is this wine so strong?Liu Shuzhou was suspicious.

Generally speaking, the alcohol content of fruit wine is relatively low, and people with a poor capacity for alcohol can drink a few glasses. Zhao Gongming only drank about two taels in total, so it's not possible to get drunk so quickly, right?The last time I drank, I didn't see him getting drunk so quickly.

In the spirit of exploring to the end, Liu Shuzhou also poured himself three glasses of wine and drank them one by one.

It seems that he is really dizzy... His vision is gradually blurred, and the whole world is revolving around him in different ways.In the end, he became dizzy, and only heard a "snap", Liu Shuzhou's head came into close contact with the table, and he lost consciousness.
