Chapter 49 Brewing
"Mother Bagaga said ha?"
Ye threw down his spindle and ran over quickly, with a gossip on his face.
Haha means what it means, but these primitive people can't tell the difference between the two initials, and Xu Chen taught them many times but couldn't change them.
What I say about Gaha is doing on weekdays, but I can’t tell the difference between g and h.
In short, this is a group of primitive people whose language functions have not yet been fully developed, but they have basically no longer affected communication.
Xu Chen pointed to a large pile of vine baskets and explained a few words. After Ye understood it, he ran over and found a red fruit from it, put it in his arms and made a cover, and then took out a purple fruit.
Xu Chen:...
This trick has become too primitive.
However, this also conforms to the simple way of thinking of the original people.
Seeing Xu Chen's confused look on his face, Ye Lianbi's explanation was a few words, but Xu Chen still didn't understand. This was beyond the scope of ordinary communication and felt a little brain-burning. Finally, Ye had to pull him to the place where firewood was piled next to the cave, stuffing the red one into the haystack, and after a while, he took out a purple one.
This is not the same.
Xu Chen was even more confused.
Ye stomped his feet in a qi, and explained it again with a few more explanations, looking very excited.
Xu Chen thought hard and suddenly realized.
It turned out that she was talking about covering up the red one, and it would turn purple after a while.
This seems to have been done when I was a child, and the August fried picked on the mountain is also cooked like this.
Persimmons and kiwis can also be ripe like this.
The reason why some fruits sold in the city are not sweet is that they are half green and hard, they are picked and packed, and they are ripe for a while before selling them, so that they will not rot on the road.
But this cannot be used to preserve such wild fruits.
Xu Chen took the purple fruit and wiped it on his body and ate it. It was soft and sweet, with a faint smell of wine... The smell of wine...
Damn, I'm not ordinary stupid, this wild fruit should seem to be able to make wine!
Xu Chen suddenly showed a surprise on his face.
Originally, when he was making pottery, he wanted to make some berries such as wild grapes and so on and order fruit wine.
However, I searched up and down the mountain for many times but found it but I didn't find it. I gradually forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, Ye reminded him like this and he woke up suddenly.
This vine fruit tastes sweet, soft, juicy, and has a faint smell of wine after it is ripe. This is very similar to grapes. Grapes can make wine, and this wild fruit should be fine too.
After thinking about it, Xu Chen finished eating the wild fruits for a few bites and headed straight to the cave. He quickly carried out a pottery about two feet tall. After washing his hands, he found the purple-red fruits from the vine frame, crushed them one by one and threw them into the pottery.
Ye didn't understand what he was doing, and stood beside him and looked at him with a strange face.
"Help, purple..."
Xu Chen's purple wild fruit signaled, so Ye also went to wash his hands and came to help.
Recently, the kiln factory has fired two batches of pottery in succession, all of which are large pottery jars, mainly used to store various dried foods.
Although he had always wanted to make several larger pottery jars, unfortunately he was not skilled enough, and the mud clay would collapse if he made too big. Therefore, the largest pottery jar was only two feet in size.
However, this kind of clay pot is actually not small in capacity, it can hold more than ten liters of water, so it can also hold ten kilograms of wild fruits, and a basket of wild fruits is almost that many.
Xu Chen moved out three large pots in and out, and it became completely dark after slowly filling it.
This wild fruit contains a high sugar content, and the degree should be very good if it is brewed into wine.
As for whether he can succeed, he didn't think too much about it.
Anyway, if you can't make wine, these fruits will only be eaten up and turned into cakes within a few days.
Thinking of his father, Xu Chen went to observe the two little wolves after finishing his work.
I found that I was still very weak, but I was still breathing and my body temperature seemed to be normal, but there was a smell of shit in the nest.
I hope these two wolf cubs can survive.
As long as you don't die, continue to feed them shit tomorrow.
What is the ability to survive by eating meat? It is really good to survive by eating shit.
Xu Chen covered the two little wolves with dirty fur skirts and then went to complete today's diary.
...
Xu Chen was awakened in a daze.
It seems that it is just bright outside the hole when I open my eyes.
"Gaha!"
Looking at Ye squatting next to his grass nest with excitement, Xu Chen yawned and looked unhappy.
"Wolf... alive!" Ye pulled his arm excitedly.
Xu Chen got up as soon as he sucked his eyes and walked out.
Several children were gathered around the wolf's den and pointed, and even two women stood beside them and watched curiously.
Xu Chen squeezed in and saw that the two little wolves who were already dying yesterday were indeed a little energetic, and one of them would open his mouth and reveal his teeth and make a whimpering threat.
Although the sound sounds very weak, it has indeed improved a lot from yesterday.
It seems that eating shit is still effective.
Xu Chen looked at the group of children happily, "Shhh?"
"Moga!" The group of children shook their heads excitedly, and raised their hands and shouted: "I, I ka!"
Especially when I was so excited that I started taking off my pants on the spot.
Xu Chen turned black and pulled him away, "You have too much shit, change to a small one... Well, go!"
"Yeho!" The little savage who was pointed out jumped up excitedly and went straight to the woods.
“Kukukukuku!”
Ye stood behind and almost fell to the ground with a smile. The two young women also left with a smile.
Xu Chen arranged for a child to take a clam shell and scoop some spring water and put it in the vine basket. I don’t know if it was because the two little wolves were too thirsty or because they had eaten too much shit, so finally one of them looked weak and crawled over and licked a few bites, but the other one was stronger and still didn’t drink water. Instead, he grinned his teeth and looked fierce.
"Come on shit!"
The little savage who had just gone to shit came with a clam shell and a pile of shit was yelling from a distance.
A group of children squeaked and scattered. Xu Chen had no choice but to do it again, asking Ye to help him catch the little wolf, pick up the wooden piece and start stuffing it into his mouth.
“Wow!”
A group of children covered their mouths and shouted.
But today is not as good as yesterday, because the little wolf has some strength and struggles very hard. However, Xu Chen pinched his mouth tightly and finally poured a lot of it. Then he asked a child to wash it at the puddle and then fed the next one.
After feeding the two little wolves, Xu Chen got another shit.
A few dogs, if you can't feed them like this, you will have a dead end.
Seeing the two wet little wolves trembling in the nest, Xu Chen twitched his face and went to wash his hands and face.
Domesticizing animals is a long process.
This is definitely not the way to solve the problem with a few shits.
But for Xu Chen, his life was only a few decades short, so he had no time to reproduce and domesticate generation after generation, so he could only use this rebellious method to try it out.
What if it's a fucking success.
At least today, it seems that one of the weaker ones had the desire to drink water on their own initiative, which is a good start.
Xu Chen also had a playful meaning when taming wild wolves, so he didn't care too much about these two little wolves, and threw them aside and ignored them after finishing them.
After breakfast, Xu Chen found a few large pots to continue making fruit wine.
Although his hands had just been touched, Xu Chen didn't care at all.
At least he washed it, most people in this tribe never wash their hands before and after meals. Apart from opening the leaves, he was even more worried about asking others to help him. Who knows what indescribable things their hands have just done.
Mother Ba was still asking Xu Chen to deal with wild fruit yesterday.
Today I found that Xu Chen had already started to act and came over to ask a few questions, but Xu Chen couldn't explain it clearly. He just said that it would be sealed in a pot and sealed it, which would gradually turn into a kind of drinkable wine. So Mo Ba hugged him happily and praised him.
There were too many wild fruits and not enough clay pots. After a busy morning, he and Ye finally filled most of the wild fruits, including five cans. The three cans I packed last night, totaling eight cans, and the used wild fruits looked like nearly two hundred kilograms.
The filled pots are placed under the hole wall. After the lid is covered, the mouth of the pot is covered with animal skin to prevent it from being uncovered by children or insects and mice.
The remaining seven or eight baskets of vine fruits were all freshly ripe or even green in color, which were relatively hard. Xu Chen was worried that there was not enough sugar to make wine, so he had to give up.
However, grapes can be made into wine or made into raisins. There are still a lot of vine fruit left at present, and it is a waste to eat them all in a few days. Maybe you can try hanging them and dry them in air, and maybe you can make them into dried fruits.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen asked Ye to find a few rolls of thin linen thread, used wooden chips as a knife to cut the remaining fruit into half, and then used a wooden needle to thread the thin line into strings and hang it up in strings.
This work is slower and more tedious.
The two of them made an hour before they had a basket, so Xu Chen called a group of children over and asked them to wash their hands and help with the skewers. The task of cutting fruits was handed over to Ye.
Chapter completed!
