However, there is a strange rule in Kuyu City, which is that killing is not allowed casually.

The Jade Emperor must preside over the sacrifices, transform the creatures and send them to heaven before they can be massacred. It is said that only in this way can the creatures die well and not in vain.

Because the Jade Emperor never ordered that monkeys be killed and eaten, these monkey heads escaped, and now they are given a way to live and work to earn food for themselves.

Nowadays, the animals in Kuyu City are divided into three types: ornamental type, labor type and food type.

Needless to say, there are ornamental pandas and laboring oxen, horses, donkeys, and mules. Bamboo rats and pigs are representative edible animals, and their main performance is that they wake up and snap after eating.

The remaining wild animals are still in the stage of breeding and expanding their populations, so there is no concern for their lives for the time being.

The status of the golden monkeys in this was originally very embarrassing. After all, apart from keeping a group of monkey heads in the zoo for occasional fun, what can they do to breed such a large group?

In the early Tang Dynasty, the golden monkeys and common macaques in the Zhongnan Mountains were quite large, with large groups of hundreds or even thousands of them frequently appearing.

Ever since the orchards were formed around Kuyu City, these greedy monkeys have been gathering in groups, arriving like moths to the flames.

There were so many that even Bai Yuqi, who had no intention of eating the monkeys, wondered if he should get rid of some to lighten the burden. After all, in order to prevent them from harming the fruit, they had to provide them with additional food.

Now it's all right. The soldiers led by Donggong Liu, who were temporarily recruited by Bai Yuqi, only need to carry the cloth bags with the sockets in them and walk to the open space between several fruit trees to insert them.

Then the disciples of the Beast Control Sect would swarm up with the monkeys all over the mountains and fields, pick the ripe fruits from the trees and throw them into cloth pockets stretched under the trees to prevent them from breaking.

After sweeping away the ripe fruits in a fruit forest, with the beeping bamboo whistles of the disciples of the Beast Control Sect, the monkeys would sweep away like a tide and rush to the next fruit forest to continue working.

The six soldiers left behind collected the fruits in their pockets and framed them on the spot.

At this time, another group of beast-controlling sect disciples will bring groups of four-faced and six-faced beasts.

Come and transport the full fruit baskets back to Dingzumen in Kuyu City for the next step of sorting, cleaning and processing.

Speaking of these unique four and six different types of food in the Qinling Mountains, they also fall into the awkward position between the labor type and the food type.

Si unlike is also called "bright mane sheep, mountain donkey" or "rock donkey", which is also the "serow" in later generations, because its horns are like a deer but not a deer, its hooves are like a cow but not a cow, its head is like a sheep but not a sheep, and its tail is like a donkey

But it is not a donkey, so it is called "four unlike" by the mountain people.

This thing can walk among the lofty mountains and ridges, and can run on the mountain walls like flying. It is as big as a donkey, but it cannot be used for work because it is wild and untamed.

The six unlike animals are also called "golden-haired monsters", which are also known as "takin" or "golden-haired takin" in later generations.

Its back is like a bear, its legs are like a horse, its face is like a deer, its tail is like a sheep, its horns are like a buffalo, and its hind legs are like a dog. It looks even weirder than the other four, so the mountain people add two different looks to distinguish it from the four.

This creature, which is larger than a cow, has a bad temper and is extremely powerful, but it is also untamed because it is wild and untamed. If it cannot work, then why raise it? Is it for eating? Or is it for eating? Let's just use it for eating.

?

So after the Jade Emperor gave instructions to the disciples of the Beast Control Sect to tame these wild animals.

Under the careful "persuasion" of the disciples of the Beast Control Sect using [Animal Conversation Technique], in order to avoid being eaten, they could only obey human orders from the bottom of their hearts and help transport heavy objects to prove the value of their existence. It was better than killing them directly.

It’s time to eat more meat.

With these large animals that can fly in the mountains and forests, the original nervousness of the large animals in Kuyu City has been relieved.

A large amount of mountain fruits were quickly transported back to Kuyu City. Except for selecting some of good quality to be eaten by the residents in the city, the rest were all sent to the Lijiufang attached to Dingzumen to prepare for brewing.

.

Not only grapes can be used to make wine, but any fruit that contains a certain amount of sugar can be used to make wine, but the quality of the brew is different.

So as early as after collecting those wild fruit trees, Bai Yuqi had already started thinking about turning these worthless sour wild fruits that even the mountain people didn't like to eat, that is, they only eat a few occasionally for a change, into a library.

Another economic product of Yucheng.

He asked people to pick some fruits that had matured in advance, and specially brewed a batch of fruit wine on a small scale for experiments based on different wild fruit types and different recipes according to the distiller's yeast recipe searched by the system.

He actually asked him to develop a batch of fruit wines with different flavors that taste and taste good.

Like peach wine, apricot wine, plum wine, pear wine, cherry wine, kiwi wine, etc., the alcohol content varies, and the taste is sour, sweet, mild, and light. It tastes fruity, although it is not as good as the eight wines of later generations.

Sprite in the second year was so particular, but in the early Tang Dynasty, the quality was definitely not bad.

Among them, Bai Yuqi was most satisfied with the fruit wine mixed with various wild fruits, because it had the highest alcohol content after brewing and was closest to the taste of the liquor he drank in later generations.

The high alcohol content is achieved because Bai Yuqi added dried fruits with high starch content, such as chestnuts.

After all, different fruits have different moisture and sugar contents, so the saccharification reactions during brewing are naturally different.

The role of adding chestnuts is actually the same as that of later generations who used coarse grains such as corn and potatoes to make wine. If chestnuts were used entirely, the chestnut wine brewed might not be able to reach the level of real high-alcohol wine.

The taste of this batch of fruit wine can definitely be improved further.

However, after Bai Yuqi solved the problem of "unsaleable wild fruits", he was no longer interested in continuing the research.

He still has a lot of things to be busy with. How can Lao Diamond study wine making in the wine cellar?

So after figuring out the basic brewing process, I passed on the koji, various brewing techniques, and brewing recipes to the apprentices of Lijiufang, and let them study and improve them themselves.

Speaking of wine making, Bai Yuqi also encountered several episodes during the research process.

When he was studying koji, he felt that the koji was fermented and matured too slowly, so the system recommended him a [fermentation technique].

Then when he used [Fermentation Technique] to catalyze the fermentation time of the koji, he accidentally caused multiple failures.
