The vine fruit wine has been brewing for more than a month.
Xu Chen would open the clay pot and stir it every few days, or taste it to see if it was bad.
What surprised him was that this kind of vine fruit seemed to be a natural material for making wine. Like grapes, it can be naturally fermented without yeast. Therefore, after crushing it and putting it in a clay pot, it had a very fragrant wine flavor in just seven or eight days.
.
After more than a month of continuous fermentation, the wine smell is now very obvious. When you open the lid, you can smell the unique and sweet smell of fruit wine with the unique fragrance of vine fruits.
In addition, thanks to the fact that the juice of this kind of vine fruit is relatively rich after it matures, there is gradually a lot of wine inside.
Xu Chen has tasted it several times, eating it with the pulp and wine juice. It tastes particularly good, much better than glutinous rice wine.
But he never took it out for everyone to share and taste.
Because he was worried that these savages who had never tasted this super delicious food would not be able to forget it once they tasted it, and the disaster would be over in a few days.
But this thing cannot be hidden forever.
Because this row of eight large earthen jars has always been placed here as the most mysterious thing, everyone watched him take some out of it to taste, and then looked at him with a satisfied look on his face. He couldn't hide it for long even if he wanted to.
Although primitive people are primitive and have little experience and brains, they are not stupid.
Especially for food.
Their ability to distinguish food is amazing, and their resistance to poison is also very strong. They dare to eat all kinds of bitter, sour and sour things in the wild. They are either poisoned or on the way to poisoning, and they are in a state of blood loss almost all day long.
Wine is of great significance in the development of human civilization.
Because this is how humans discovered that spoiled food can be transformed into another kind of delicious food. Although the process is accidental, the process is inevitable.
The invention of pottery brought about completely different changes in cooking and storing food, and this semi-sealed method of storing food made stable fermentation possible.
In other words, wine is almost an inevitable product accompanying the invention of pottery, and has appeared successively in the evolutionary process of all different human groups.
Xu Chen believed that even if he did not take the initiative to make fruit wine, due to the emergence of pottery, these primitive people might discover the secret of wine within a few years, but it is uncertain how long it would take to truly learn how to make wine.
variable.
And as these fruit wines begin to ferment, even if the lid is not opened, a faint aroma of fruit wine will often float from the entrance of the cave. Under the temptation of this smell, someone will take a few bites while he is not paying attention.
It is inevitable, and then there will be no more...
When eating sashimi today, he decided to open the lid in advance.
So, when a bowl of vine fruit mash with a strong aroma of sweet fruit wine was placed beside the fire pit, almost everyone's eyes fell on it.
Even before Xu Chen started eating, many people had already started licking their lips and drooling.
Alas, I hope I can suppress this group of savages with my own prestige, so that these fruit wines can be enjoyed slowly until spring!
Seeing the excited expressions of the people in the fire pit, Xu Chen sighed inwardly, picked up a piece of fish, dipped it in the wine lees a few times and put it in his mouth.
The fish meat has a light fishy taste, but after being coated with a layer of semi-melted fruit pulp and wine lees, the taste becomes different. After chewing it a few times, the fish meat has a slight softness and crispness, mixed with the unique sweetness of the fruit wine, which is actually quite refreshing.
He has an irresistible impulse.
"Sigh!"
After a while, Xu Chen closed his eyes slightly and let out a heartfelt admiration.
Compared to the fish balls, which are fresh, fragrant and tender, they are soft and smooth.
Raw fish meat appears more delicious and juicy.
So after swallowing it in one gulp, Xu Chen eagerly picked up a piece of fish meat, dipped it in the pulp and wine lees and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Gudong~"
Gu and Ju, who were sitting next to them, almost had their Adam's apples twitching at the same time, and they could clearly hear the sound of swallowing saliva.
"Chen Ga, try it!"
Gu carefully stretched out his chopsticks, his face full of anticipation.
Xu Chen nodded slightly, Gu quickly picked up a piece of fish, dipped it in the wine grains, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth. His honest face was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of sluggishness, he chewed it hard and swallowed it in one gulp.
, and then looked at Xu Chen again with excitement on his face, and a drool unknowingly flowed down the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Gu's performance, the group of men who had just eaten the delicious fish balls all woke up. Without waiting for Xu Chen to nod, seven or eight pairs of chopsticks stretched out from far and near, picking them up, dipping them, and the fish meat was messy.
Shake, wine juice flies everywhere.
"Sou Ga..."
Amidst the exclamations and admirations one after another, more chopsticks were stretched out densely.
Many people quickly stretched out their chopsticks before even tasting the fish meat in their mouths.
This is a unique delicacy that has never been tasted before. It is like an epoch-making lightning and thunder, which completely explodes the dietary genes accumulated by their primitive ancestors for millions of years to pieces, and their souls feel as if they have left their bodies and are beginning to fly away.
In an instant, everything around the fire pit was in chaos.
"Stop, stop~"
Xu Chen's face turned black and he quickly covered the wine lees and fish meat with his hands.
So in an instant, more than ten pairs of chopsticks were hovering around him.
"It's delicious. One...mouth...eat...yum!"
The sturdy Feng looked at Xu Chen eagerly, with saliva flowing down the corners of his mouth, and the clothes on his chest were instantly wet.
"Ah Qi Gaga!"
The rest of the people also nodded vigorously along with them, all of them eloquent.
There are several dogs, but it’s delicious and you can’t rush to eat it like this.
I've been busy for a long time and I'm still not satisfied.
Xu Chen regretted it very much, really.
He should start eating raw fish when he is sharing the fish balls, so that eating at different times will not cause such a big disturbance.
But it was too late to regret now, so he could only ask Ye to hand over a few plates, divide the fish into five portions, and after a few words, he took a bowl and scooped out a bowl of pulp and wine lees and poured it into these plates, briefly stirring a few with chopsticks.
After downloading, hand it out.
In an instant, the area around the fire pit became five focal points of contention.
Even a group of women gathered around the mother bus, scrambling to share the fish.
The dinner rules have been seriously broken.
Both men and women, old and young, are scrambling for food.
A group of children couldn't eat and started crying and howling anxiously.
The mother scolded loudly, but no one listened. She poked her chopsticks one after another for fear that she would not be able to eat.
It’s a mess, it’s a complete mess!
Xu Chen was so shameless that he quickly ate two pieces of fish. When he was about to get another chopstick, he found that the fish was empty. Even the bowl of wine lees was grabbed by Gu and he was covering his face and licking it fiercely.
"Pap~"
Along with a broken sound, there was a burst of exclamation in an instant.
A plate fell to the ground and shattered into pieces during the scramble.
Mother stood up angrily, pointed at the men who robbed the most fiercely, and shouted loudly.
A group of men hunched their necks and returned to their seats to sit down. Each one of them lowered his head while chewing or chewing something, like a primary school student who was caught eating something secretly in class and fell silent with frowning eyes.
Xu Chen felt a little guilty.
The tribe's emotions have been inflated recently, and due to its own influence, Muba's authority seems to be rapidly weakening, but new authority has not been established, causing some confusion among the rules within the tribe.
Of course, this was originally a primitive communist family with equal status, and it could not be said to be authoritative. Mother Ba was also the head of the family who guided and maintained the most basic survival of the tribe. Because there was no food and clothing, no one had enough.
What unnecessary desires are just a matter of being busy day after day year after year.
But with his continuous inventions and innovations, the life of the tribe gradually became richer. After food and clothing began to be realized, the atmosphere gradually began to be different.
In the eyes of many adults, Mu Ba's words are no longer as useful as Xu Chen's.
And Xu Chen is a good old man. He chats and chats with everyone all day long, and doesn't care about anything after the work is assigned. As a result, the initial awe of Xu Chen among a group of people is slowly disappearing, and is replaced by an extreme
sense of closeness.
Because they are so close, there are even less rules.
What's more, Xu Chen is still underage.
"Mother Baba Gaga..."
Just when Xu Chen stood up and was about to admit his mistake and defend the authority of the patriarch, there was a sudden clang and another bowl fell to the ground. Everyone looked to get out and saw the glutinous rice bowl in Gu's hand falling to the ground and shattering.
The body staggered a few times, and then he threw himself onto the edge of the fire pit.
