Chapter 66
They didn't intend to use sugar to make a deal, but just made sugar water for the guests out of habit.
The matter of sugar refining was no trivial matter, and they had no intention of letting others know about it for the time being. Heiyan chuckled dryly and agreed with what Chief Kun said.
Everyone drank the sugar water carefully. Bombur scooped a spoonful for each of them and poured it into the cup, which looked very shabby.
It's not that Bombur was stingy and reluctant. He gave them one spoonful after careful consideration based on the snow werewolves' drinking capacity. He felt that even this one spoonful was too much.
However, wine is also very expensive on this continent, and the smell of this wine tells you that it is a top-quality wine, so a few orcs would not think it is too little.
The few snow wolves of Kun tribe were embarrassed to taste it. They were reluctant to trade even the inferior wine from the human caravan, let alone this kind of high-quality wine.
Bombur has a good impression of the snow wolves, and he knows very well that Yu Sui is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted cub. It would be very sad for Yu Sui to just watch him.
He raised the spoon and poured white wine into them without saying a word. He sniffed the aroma of the wine with his red nose, and couldn't wait to raise his glass and take a sip, then sighed with relief.
For the dwarf who always drinks with every meal, the journey of more than three days has made him feel suffocated. Except for taking a sip when he feels very cold, he has not had a full time.
The minotaur with curved horns took the first sip. The minotaur had a big mouth and he tilted his head back to drink all the wine. His eyes widened suddenly.
He covered his mouth with one hand and his throat with the other. The burning sensation made him not know where to cover his mouth. He held a big mouthful of food in his mouth and couldn't swallow it for a while, but he was reluctant to spit it out.
My goodness, this spoonful of it weighs at least three ounces. How can you not feel anxious after drinking it in one gulp? Even Mongolians don’t dare to be so reckless. Yu Sui empathized with him and grinned.
The crooked-horned minotaur stood up and paced anxiously on the spot. It took him a long time to swallow it, and his companions were so scared that they didn't dare to eat anymore.
"Hiss! It almost killed me! But it's such a good wine! It warms my stomach after drinking it. It's so comfortable!"
The wine enters the throat and sweeps into the stomach like a storm of fire, leaving only embers burning, making people feel hot from the inside out.
After hearing his words, the others took small sips with half-belief and half-doubt. In an instant, their mouths seemed to be on fire. Fortunately, they had learned from their previous experience and did not drink much, so they calmed down quickly.
In Yu Sui's previous life, most people in other countries would not appreciate white wine, but for orcs and dwarves, the strong flavor of this wine actually attracted them more.
"Good wine!" Bi Qi exclaimed, turning to Sui and asking, "Did you brew this yourself?"
After this baptism, he has accepted the fact that the cub in front of him is the patriarch of the tribe, and has begun to acknowledge it. He has to admit that, as Heiyan said, this cub is a genius.
"This is brewed with sorghum and has a high alcohol content." Yu Sui replied. It just so happened that they planned to exchange more sorghum to make wine this time. In order to conquer the Minotaur with white wine, they might be able to give them a discount.
The Tauren and the Snow Werewolves of the Kun tribe were shocked. Was this brewed with the most unpalatable sorghum?
Even though most Minotaur people are vegetarians, few of them like to eat sorghum. They prefer to eat sorghum stalks, especially the young Minotaur. Every autumn, they go to the sorghum fields to pick sorghum stalks to eat.
It was because of this bull-headed man that people did not give up growing sorghum, otherwise it would have been abandoned long ago because of its taste.
Moreover, in this world, the raw materials for wine are all various fruits. It is rare to hear that someone can brew wine with grains, let alone the most unpalatable sorghum.
Just for this reason, they have to admire Yu Sui.
Although the baijiu was stronger and had a higher alcohol content than any other liquor they had ever drunk, its taste was also far superior.
Bi Qi drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, closed his eyes and felt the wine raging in his chest and stomach, and opened his eyes after a while.
"As expected of an orc-brewed wine, it really suits my taste. It's much better than those watery human wines. Even if the elves' wine is delicious, it's not as suitable for us as this."
The Tauren and the elves still have dealings with each other. The elves are not too arrogant towards them and occasionally come to trade some food with them.
Bi Qi had also tasted the elf wine that countless people dreamed of. It seemed to be a gift from the forest god. It was indeed delicious, but he always felt that it was not to his taste as this wine.
The others also agreed, but after drinking a few ounces of white wine, the minotaur's face was covered with mane and nothing could be seen. Chief Kun and the warriors he brought with him had flushed faces and their eyes began to blur.
Heiyan, Xu and others looked at each other, chuckling secretly without leaving any trace, still holding the sugar water in their hands.
They knew too well the power of the wine. Except for the drunkard Bombur, everyone else would rather drink sugar water than embarrass themselves in front of other tribes.
The Minotaur could drink quite well. Yu Sui looked at the three people with clear eyes. Come to think of it, even if human wine was all squeezed wine, one could still drink more than others if he drank more.
So, although the snow wolves are tall and big, they can only drink a pitifully small amount of alcohol. This is also because they are too poor. They even have difficulty eating, so naturally they don’t have any extra magic cores or furs to exchange for wine.
Thinking of this, Yu Sui felt a little sad, especially when he saw the look in Chief Kun's eyes when he repeatedly fumbled with the felt, he felt even sadder.
Qi sat next to Yu Sui and sensed that he was suddenly in a low mood. Not knowing the reason, he rubbed his head soothingly.
"We'll also exchange this wine for food. Oh, and today's vegetables, too."
Yu Sui cheered up and said to Bi Qi.
It would be even better if they were willing to trade vegetables. Every year, except for the omnivorous orcs who trade a little vegetables, the rest of the orcs trade food for the convenience of storage. Their tribe always has a lot left over every year, and fortunately, it is stored in the cellar so it doesn't spoil easily.
Bi Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just the price of this wine..."
He was really afraid that the price of such a unique and mellow wine would be too high.
Yu Sui took the liquor with him on a whim before he set out. There were only two jars in total. The dwarves were all drunkards, and they exchanged a lot of it for food.
One pound of sorghum can produce three to five pounds of wine. These two jars of wine weigh about five hundred pounds, so it should be no problem for him to increase the volume tenfold.
"We didn't brew much this year, just these two jars of wine. How about five thousand kilograms of grain and vegetables? We'll discuss the types of grain when we trade."
This price was not really high in Beech's eyes. He had just expected it to be more than five times higher than this. Now when he heard this price and looked at the cub, he felt a slight pang of conscience.
"How about this, I can give you double the vegetables you choose when trading."
The other two minotaurs also softened their gazes towards Biqi. In their eyes, the price just paid was no different from bullying a cub.
