Leaving the bustling city behind, he returns to a quiet and picturesque mountain village to become a leisurely farmer.
He opens up mountain roads, plants premium vegetables, builds new villag...
"Of course it's true. It's a shame to waste such a good craftsmanship of Jiu Ye."
Jiang Che smiled and nodded.
When my grandfather was still alive, he especially liked the wine brewed by Jiu Ye.
Unfortunately, fewer people bought wine in recent years, so Jiu Ye demolished the winery.
"That's great, Xiao Che. Of course I'm willing."
"Although I haven't made much wine in recent years, I have been studying koji."
"Come, come, I'll take you to see the wine yeast I made."
Jiu Ye was very excited and pulled Jiang Che to the warehouse in the backyard.
Turning on the light, there were a lot of miscellaneous items in the warehouse.
However, the large counter was very clean, with more than a dozen pottery jars of various sizes placed on it.
Jiu Ye brought down a clay pot, opened the lid and grabbed a handful of small white balls from inside.
"Look, Xiao Che, this is the yeast that Grandpa made using the Polygonum multiflorum from the Huaxi River. Smell it."
Jiang Che picked up a small ball and put it under his nose and sniffed it. He could smell a strong smell of yeast fermentation.
It also has a special sweet and spicy taste.
"It still tastes the same. I thought Jiu Ye had stopped brewing wine. Turns out he's been secretly researching it."
Jiang Che put down the wine yeast and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, this is the only hobby your grandfather has."
"I've saved so much yeast, but it's not used at all."
"Xiao Che, come and smell these kinds of yeast. I researched these using herbs from Qingyun Mountain."
As Jiu Ye spoke, he brought down several more pottery jars and took out several small gray, green, and light yellow balls from them.
"This one is made of light bamboo leaves, this one is made of honeysuckle vines, this one is made of lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and this one is made of horsetail vines..."
"Especially this wine yeast. I made it using the method your grandfather taught me."
Jiu Ye knew all of his treasures like the back of his hand. Finally, he took out a red distiller's yeast and said to Jiang Che.
Grandpa Jiang Che had seen a stone slab on the mountain before, which recorded the brewing method of a medicinal wine.
However, many of the medicinal herbs on the stone slab had disappeared, and they spent a lot of time only to brew a jar of semi-finished product.
Fortunately, the herbs needed for the koji still grow on Qingyun Mountain.
Jiang Che picked up the red yeast and smelled it. The aroma was very special.
There was a strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine, a smell that Jiang Che was very familiar with!
This is the smell of the medicinal wine at home.
"Master Jiu, what are the ingredients used to make this koji, and what is the output?"
“If it’s mass-produced, is it possible?”
The unique taste and powerful effect of medicinal wine will surely be very popular once it is brewed successfully.
"I do know the raw material for the koji. It's a vine that grows on the cliffs of Qingyun Peak."
"Only your grandfather knows about the other herbs, so mass production is probably impossible."
Jiu Ye shook his head, his face full of regret that such a good medicinal wine had been lost.
"It's enough to know the raw materials of the koji. Can you brew a simple version of medicinal wine using only the koji? Master Jiu?"
I won’t consider the complete version of the medicinal wine for now, as there are so many good materials in Wuyou Realm.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't brew a better medicinal wine.
"That's no problem. Jiuqu is the starter of wine."
"It's not necessary to use just one material, since we want to mass-produce this medicinal wine."
"Then we have to plant these vines artificially, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with the production."
It is definitely not possible for vines to grow naturally alone.
"Don't worry, Master Jiu. Leave the planting of the vines to me."
"Now I'll take you to Fairy Lake to see where we can find a suitable location to build the factory."
Planting vines is not difficult, and the group of golden monkeys on the mountain have nothing to do now.
It couldn't be easier to get them to help grow a vine.
The two got in the car and soon arrived at Fairy Lake.
Since we are at Fairy Lake, we must visit the herbal tea factory.
Jiang Che took Jiu Ye to take a look at the workshop outside. Looking at the busy workers, Jiu Ye was very interested.
"Xiao Che, your herbal tea factory is doing great! It's solved so many people's job problems!"
"People who worked outside have returned, and Qingjiang Town is getting better and better and more lively."
In the past, Qingjiang Town was only a little lively during the New Year holidays, and there were hardly any people there at other times.
The street also ended at a turn, unlike now where several east and west streets are full of shops.
"Master Jiu, please stop praising me. Let's go and show you the Lapis Lazuli Grass Planting Area."
After visiting the factory, Jiang Che took Jiu Ye to the Lapis Lazuli plantation and Fairy Lake.
Jiu Ye was very happy to see the clear Fairy Lake.
"What wonderful water! It's just like when Grandpa was a kid."
"This is a great place. Good water makes good wine. Let's choose this as the location for the winery."
"There's a large open space on the side where you can grow some herbs or something."
The two of them walked around, and finally Jiu Ye chose an area west of Fairy Lake to build a winery.
This place is very close to the edge of Fairy Lake. Fortunately, a lot of the land here is wasteland.
There is a barren mountain not far away, which would be very suitable for cultivating and planting some water pepper or something.
"Then listen to Master Jiu and choose here."
"By the way, Master Jiu, my winery doesn't just make white wine. I also want to make fruit wine, grape wine, beer, and so on."
"Do you know all these wines?"
There are so many hops in Wuyou Realm, just waiting to be brewed into beer.
The quality of domestic craft beer is really poor, it’s better to brew it yourself.
