Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start - Chapter 144

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When the news of the Imperial City reached Rock City, it had been three days since the fifth prince’s death.

Grimm flew back from the Imperial City with the news. Alan felt that there was something he had missed. Ever since Uncle Wayne left, he had been busy with the system’s missions.

The smog in Rock City had been completely cleared, the new system’s cultivation system had been established, and the main mission 6 had been completed. He was rewarded with many new blueprints and also new wine.

“I told you I forgot something. I haven’t start to make new wine yet!”

Alan was thinking about what he had yet to solve. After all, the most useless blueprints had been distributed. The goblin twins were already on it, but he still hadn’t started to make the new wine!

Yupanki was the one who often went to the wine cellar to get the wine. Alan rarely went there himself nowadays. Thinking about it, it had been a long time since he had entered the wine cellar. With Yupanki around, he even rarely went to the backyard.

“Then for today’s mission, I’ll make the new wine.”

Alan arranged the mission for himself as he got up and went downstairs.

When he came downstairs, just as Alan was about to say something to urge him out of habit, he looked at the guy in the lobby downstairs.

Two of demon lords were playing games. No matter what he scolded them, it was useless. As for the one lying in the booth, he was too good at arguing, but he was the only one who could be bullied occasionally was working obediently by Yupanki’s side every day.

Alan felt that since he took in these guys, he sighed more every day than when he was alone for a year.

“Yupanki, keep an eye on the front. Remember to open the shop at that point. I need to spend more time in the winery today.”

Alan swallowed what he wanted to say and turned to tell Yupanki to go straight to the backyard.

Abraham turned to look at Alan when he heard the sound. He had not seen Alan go to the winery to make wine recently. He was also a little surprised that he was going there today.

Generally, very few people entered the winery and wine cellar. Although Alan did not have a rule that prevented people from entering, Abraham and the others thought that these two places were the most important places for Alan to make wine. Therefore, no one would go in before getting permission.

Ai Xiaohei was basking in the sun in the backyard. When she sensed that Alan was going to enter the winery, she thought for a moment and followed behind him, sneaking in together.

“Meow meow…”

After Alan entered the distillery, he heard Ai Xiaohei’s cat meow. He looked down and saw that the little guy was looking at him with her head raised and big cat eyes blinking.

“Oh no… My blood tank is going to be emptied.”

Alan muttered unconsciously. Fortunately, he did not make a move directly.

Ai Xiaohei tilted her head and looked at the silly man in front of her. She did not know what nonsense Alan was thinking again.

“Then you have to behave yourself. You are absolutely not allowed to drink the wine while I’m busy!”

Alan thought about it and still did not chase her out. He remembered that the last time he made magic whiskey, Ai Xiaohei was also accompanying him like this. Moreover, she was very obedient and did not cause any trouble.

Looking at the winery that had become very spacious after three renovations, Alan felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

Different wines needed to be made in different ways. There was also the aging area and the drying area. The system had designed this small room, which looked unremarkable from the outside, into a specialized winery.

He did not know when it started, but Alan felt that everything he saw related to wine would feel unusually familiar.

Ai Xiaohei watched Alan walked towards a machine that he had never seen him use before. After skillfully operating it, he stopped what he was doing and thought for a while before starting to brew wine.

“The word ‘vodka’ means ‘little water’ in my previous life. It’s a traditional distilled wine.”

Alan mumbled about the knowledge related to wine making as he worked swiftly.

Ai Xiaohei sat at a higher position at the side and focused on watching Alan’s movements. It was as smooth as flowing water and every time it happened, her eyes would be filled with admiration.

“Vodka is usually made from grains or potatoes. It is distilled into alcohol up to 95°. Then, distilled water is used to dilute it to 40° and 60°. It is filtered by activated charcoal, making the wine more crystal clear just like water. It is colorless, light, and refreshing. It makes people feel that it is not sweet, bitter, or astringent. It only has the stimulation of a raging flame, forming the unique characteristics of vodka.”

“Therefore, when making cocktails, vodka as the base wine is the most flexible, adaptable, and flexible wine.”

Alan kept muttering as he followed the steps and processed the raw materials in large quantities.

To make vodka, it needed to go through fermentation, distillation, filtration, and active carbon deodorization processes.

After finishing, this high-purity liquor was clear, mellow, pure, and transparent. It was unforgettable to drink.

After making the initial batch of vodka was over, Alan cleaned up the machine and turned to another new machine.

From Ai Xiaohei’s point of view, Alan had done the same step again and started a new round of brewing. She was very surprised. She thought that he would only brew one type of liquor today, but in the end, he was going to brew another one.

Alan was going to make the second new wine, Red Star Erguotou. He was very familiar with this wine. In his previous life, this wine was one of his favorites. Not only was it cheap, but it also had a good taste. It was quite a popular wine.

“Erguotou. It’s really a familiar and nostalgic wine…”

Its name actually implied the way it was made.

Because the wine cooled in the first and third pots contained a variety of low boiling point substances, the taste was more complex. Therefore, the wine master only picked the wine with mellow taste, which was cooled by the cold water in the tin pot the second time. Therefore, the name is “Erguotou” which meant second pot.

When steaming the wine, the distilled wine vapor is needed, the “wine head” which is cooled by the cold water in the tin pot the first time and the “wine tail” which is cooled by the cold water in the tin pot the third time are proposed to do other treatments.

The tin pan was a cooler because the instrument itself was made of tin. Its shape was open and round, below 20 centimeters. The angle of 45° was tilted toward the center of the circle and shrunk to the tip of the cone. It was similar to a drum pan. It was generally used to hold cold water.

The principle was that when the fermented wine was heated, the steam rose slowly. When it was suddenly cold, it turned into dew wine. It dripped along the outer wall of the tin pan into the open dish below. It flowed out like a spring through the tin pipe connected to the open dish, it would reach the rattan wine basket outside the distilling pot.

Because the volume of the pot was limited, the fire or steam could not be too strong. Therefore, when it was being distilled, it was necessary to use a small fire and constantly stir the water in the pot to control the temperature of the flowing wine.

Almost all the bugs that the system had given Alan had been added to the brewing of wine, so that the current Alan could be called the walking encyclopedia of wine.

Of course, the God was fair. When a certain ability was maxed out, his other certain ability would be zero if not negative valued. Alan had long accepted this as fate.

Today’s final mission, brewing of dark beer. Alan had too many things to say about beer. Hailar Continent had a type of wine that was very similar to beer. It was also brewed from wheat.

However, this type of beer, called ‘wheat water’, was completely unlike beer. Moreover, it did not have any fragrance at all. Alan had tried it once and was quite disgusted with it. At that time, he secretly decided that he had to brew the beer as soon as possible, it would definitely overturn the entire Hailar’s understanding.

The brewing of dark beer used malt that was roasted black. This type of malt was processed at a high temperature of 125° to 200°. The overall appearance of the malt was black. Moreover, the taste was also caramel-like. The bitter taste was stronger, and the beer that was brewed would turn black, the flavor was also more intense.

Ordinary beer was brewed using hot air around 80°. The light-colored malt was dried as the raw material, and the overall color of the liquid was lighter.

The entire brewing process of black beer could be summarized as nine steps: malt grinding, saccharification, filtration, boiling, spinning, cooling, oxygenating to cool the wort, fermentation, and bottling.

The brewing time was much shorter than other wines. This time, the black beer was the one that took the longest time to brew.

After all, the characteristic of beer was that it was ‘large in quantity but full in quantity’. After listing it on the menu, Alan believed that the tavern would need to consume at least three barrels of beer every day!

By the time Alan finished brewing all three types of new wine, the sky had already turned completely dark. Ai Xiaohei was also in this small room, accompanying him for an entire day.

Alan, who had been diligently brewing wine for an entire day and had not eaten anything, finally felt a sense of tiredness after finishing his work. He called Ai Xiaohei over to rest.

The tavern could write beer on the menu tomorrow. He was looking forward to it very much..
