As for why this happened, it's simple: because there was no white sugar.
Grapes themselves have a low sugar content, which also means that the alcohol concentration will not be high during the fermentation process after grape processing.
Adding sugar is different. Whether it's white sugar or rock sugar, it can reduce the sugar content of grapes after fermentation and convert it into alcohol.
A higher alcohol concentration makes it difficult for bacteria to survive, which is more conducive to storage.
However, they didn't have any white sugar.
So, a little sour is fine.
If it's not good for storage, so be it; they can just brew less.
Thinking of this, Sang Ning ran over to discuss with Mu Tao and the others, "These grapes cannot all be used to make wine."
"Why?"
Mu Tao and the others, who were carefully washing grapes, looked over, their eyes filled with confusion.
Viewers were also curious as to why a flood of comments poured in towards Sang Ning.
She explained, "The relationship between grapes and sugar is very special. I won't go into the specifics of how special it is, but you just need to know that without sugar, the wine produced will not only taste much worse, but it also cannot be stored for a long time."
Everyone was speechless.
So sugar is that important for grapes?
Luo Tianya thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything that can replace white sugar?"
"How about we use honey?"
“Okay.” Sang Ning nodded, and Luo Tianya smiled, “Then we’ll use honey.”
"It's possible, but the effect won't be good."
Sang Ning said helplessly, "Honey can indeed replace white sugar to ferment grapes, but just like unsweetened wine, the resulting wine will have a low alcohol content and lack flavor."
"It's only slightly better than the unsweetened kind."
Mu Tao and the others felt that being just a little bit better would be enough.
They don't have high demands; they just want the taste to be as good as possible, but if there's really no other way, they'll just let it go.
But now that honey can be used instead of white sugar, it's fine to use honey directly.
Sang Ning had no objection to this, "Then you guys continue washing, I'll go check how much honey is left."
"good!"
So Sang Ning turned and left to check the honey in the warehouse, and what she saw there stunned her.
So the bamboo tubes that were supposed to hold honey were all empty, with not a single drop of honey left, and the inside of the bamboo tubes was so clean that it looked like they had never contained honey.
If it weren't for the lingering honey scent, Sang Ning would have started to doubt her memory and thought she had picked up the wrong bamboo tube.
However, the truth is that she has an excellent memory, and besides, she put those bamboo tubes containing honey in herself.
Therefore, there is no possibility of error.
So--
"Monkey head mushroom!"
With a roar, Sang Ning rushed to the monkey head mushroom like a gust of wind and asked, "Tell me honestly, did you finish eating the honey?"
"What?"
Before Monkey Head Mushroom could answer, Mu Tao and the others exclaimed in shock, "Almost twenty bamboo tubes of honey are all gone?"
Sang Ning hummed in agreement, then asked the monkey head mushroom again, "Tell me, did you finish eating?"
The monkey head mushroom scratched its belly with its big paws, then lowered its head guiltily. Wasn't it because the honey was too sweet and tempting?
Since the honey was so enthusiastic in inviting her to eat, she had no choice but to give the honey some face and try it.
Once she tasted it, she couldn't stop herself and ate the honey from one bamboo tube after another.
But it really wasn't her fault.
It's the honey's fault.
Thinking of this, the monkey head mushroom barked at Sang Ning with a sense of righteous indignation.
The intelligent bear-themed audience, "..."
Goodness, they really didn't know what else to say besides "goodness."
How shameless must that bear, Monkey Head Mushroom, be to so readily shift the blame for stealing food onto the honey?
How innocent must the honey be to have to bear the brunt of this after being eaten by the monkey head mushroom?
If you put yourself in the honey's shoes, the intelligent bears would be furious.
[Ningning, the monkey head mushroom said she was lured by the honey; she's innocent.]
Yes, she even shamelessly shifted the blame to honey; you need to teach her a lesson.
[A lesson is definitely necessary, but the most urgent thing is to find a way to get honey. After all, she's already eaten it, and even if we teach her a lesson, there's no way to make her conjure up honey again.]
The special effects barrage from the intelligent bear continued, but Sang Ning had no interest in watching. She looked at the monkey head mushroom in disbelief, "You ate all the honey and then blamed it on the honey?"
The monkey head mushroom grinned at her, and Sang Ning exclaimed, "!!!"
Sang Ning had a headache. Not only did he steal food but he also refused to admit his mistake and even smiled at her. Was that supposed to be a smile?
Doubting the monkey head mushroom's baring teeth gesture, she turned to the intelligent bear family in the live stream and asked, "Friends in the bear family, what does it mean when the prototype of your intelligent bear clan bares its teeth at people?"
My friend from the bear family, "..."
Are you sure you want to know?
A bad feeling rose in Sang Ning's heart. After a two-second silence, she hesitated and asked, "Is this a provocation?"
The audience member sighed, clearly understanding the situation.
That's roughly the idea.
Sang Ning was now really ready to fight the bear. The pressure around him instantly dropped. Monkey Mushroom was startled and turned to run away before he could even think.
Help! Ningning is going to fight the bear!
"You're still running? Stop right there."
Sang Ning instinctively gave chase, but Monkey Head Mushroom ran even faster, yelling as she ran that she was right, that she had only eaten some honey because she was lured by it, and that she had no right to hit the bear.
Is such a big bear less important than a little honey?
The audience at the Smart Bear Club provided real-time translations, which made Sang Ning even angrier. Mu Tao and the others were equally angry, but they knew that being angry was useless. Just as the audience said, the monkey head mushroom had already eaten all the honey, and hitting her wouldn't change the fact that she had eaten it all.
Therefore, Mu Tao and the others stopped Sang Ning and advised her to calm down and not to stoop to the level of a bear like Monkey Head Mushroom.
He also advised her to think more positively, saying that the most urgent thing was not to teach the monkey head mushroom a lesson, but to find a way to get some honey.
Sang Ning sighed and pointed to the sky, saying, "It's already dark. This isn't a good time to go into the forest to collect honey."
"We can get it done tomorrow."
Luo Tianya chimed in, his gaze filled with worry, "Don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry with Monkey Mushroom. She's only a semi-evolved species and doesn't understand much. In many cases, instinct easily overrides reason."
"Da Yazi is right. There's no use getting angry now that things have come to this."
Hugging and patting Sang Ning, Fimonloa comforted her, "Don't be angry. We'll get the honey when it's light. How about we wash the grapes first today?"
They've already said all that, what could Sang Ning do but listen to them?
She glanced at the monkey head mushroom peeking in their direction and said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Alright, I'm not angry with you anymore."
