Chapter 137 The first bottle of wine
The next morning.
After Chen Lun got up, he felt a little depressed.
"I worked too hard last night and my back hurts..."
He yawned and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When I looked in the mirror, I found that my handsomeness value was slightly reduced by one.
This is not good...
"Even with the increased sanity recovery of [Maggie's Tears], my brain is still a little overwhelmed..."
Last night he tried to "recharge sanity" on Maggie's statue. In order to avoid adverse reactions after sanity was halved, he only stored 10 points each time.
In this way, with his upper limit of 25 sanity points, he can ensure that no major problems will arise.
But I didn't expect that after three rounds, it was late at night, and people felt a little dazed.
This reminded Chen Lun that even if his sanity was not reduced by more than half, losing his sanity frequently would make his brain feel tired and uncomfortable.
"It seems that you can only do it once a night. If you do it too much, you will be unbearable... People, you must know how to exercise moderation and stop in moderation."
He sighed and shook his head slightly.
"This work is hard, tiring, and inefficient...but we are still far from the open beta. During this period, I can only rely on myself to slowly recharge the Maggie statue."
Chen Lun thought to himself and couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of the public beta.
There are players who are "mobile batteries", so don't be too efficient when the time comes to squeeze their sanity.
After washing up, Chen Lun went downstairs to have breakfast, and then returned to the room.
He sat by the window and calmed down to read a book.
He read through the four mysterious books one by one. Although the purpose was to obtain experience points and points, the contents also interested Chen Lun very much.
There is no substantial gain from reading it carefully, but it can give him a deeper understanding of these four factions, and even the entire mysterious field.
As the saying goes, you can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps. Even though Chen Lun had accumulated experience in his previous life, he still felt that he only understood the tip of the iceberg of this world.
The road ahead is still very long.
Hua Hua...
In the quiet room there was only the sound of turning books from time to time.
Time flashed to noon.
Connie knocked on the door and told Chen Lun that it was time for lunch.
Chen Lun then closed the books and put them away.
When she and Connie went downstairs, she said that the brewing equipment had been delivered and was temporarily placed in the courtyard.
This news couldn't help but make Chen Lun feel happy.
"Mr. Jack, are you going to make some wine?"
Connie asked curiously.
"Well...don't you think it is a very fulfilling thing to brew a bottle of fine wine yourself and let everyone enjoy it? Connie."
Chen Lun replied with a chuckle.
"Just as Miss Floy loves cooking, she will also show a satisfied expression every time she sees your smile while eating."
Connie whispered.
Chen Lun was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He and Connie walked down the wooden steps, raised their hands, and pointed to the ground.
"The villa also has a large basement, which cannot be wasted. It can be used as a wine cellar."
"That's true, Mr. Jack."
Connie smiled back.
"I'm really looking forward to the delicious wine you brewed by yourself. Can I have a taste of it then?"
Her eyes were very expectant.
Chen Lun chuckled lightly.
"Of course."
He then added:
"You may need to be responsible for handing over the sales of the wine that will be brewed in the future. If you don't taste it yourself, how can you judge its quality?"
"Ah, is that so...?!"
Connie was very surprised.
"Jack Manor will become a famous winery in the future...!"

After lunch, Chen Lun asked his "servants" to move the brewing equipment to the basement.
These peripheral members of the circus were strong and accomplished the task without much effort.
Chen Lun also arranged for manpower to clean up the basement in advance. All he had to do was put the equipment in place and start brewing wine.
After everyone else left, Chen Lun looked at his brewing room and nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is not exquisite and beautiful, it can even be said to be a bit crude, but for him, it is enough.
An incandescent lamp hangs on one side of the wall, emitting a dim light.
Chen Lun stood by the workbench and smiled softly.
"When you first get started, let's do a simple test first."
He first turned on the faucet, washed his hands, then picked up two pieces of ginger, rubbed them gently with his fingers, and then crushed off the skin.
With a little force on his hands, the two pieces of ginger turned into mud, and he threw them into the glass jar he had prepared in advance.
"Add water, sugar and lemon peel..."
Chen Lun's hands moved very quickly, and he had already been informed of many knowledge and steps in his mind in advance. With his extraordinary coordination ability, he was as accurate as a machine.
What he planned to brew was one of the most popular drinks of this era, ginger beer.
Cheap and refreshing.
The most important raw materials, such as ginger, lemon and yeast, can be found in any grocery store, and basically every household will brew this kind of beer.
If you're in a place like the outer city, where the water source in many neighborhoods may be unsanitary, drinking this light beer becomes an important thing.
At the very least, you won’t get sick easily.
"Lemon peels cannot contain white flesh, otherwise the taste will be slightly bitter..."
Chen Lun cut the lemon peel and threw it into a glass jar. He immediately spread a layer of yeast paste on the surface of a piece of toasted bread, and finally placed it gently on the surface of the wine.
Bang.
He capped the glass jar.
The whole process took less than ten minutes. Chen Lun looked at the jar of wine on the table, holding his chin in his hands and thinking deeply.
"According to the original brewing process, it still needs to be fermented for two or three days, which takes too long..."
Chen Lun stretched out a hand and gently placed it on the glass jar, and invisible power began to emit.
"But [winemakers] can speed up the fermentation process..."
Immediately, the originally clear and clear wine in the glass jar began to become turbid, and tiny bubbles began to emerge.
As if pressing the accelerator button, the can of ginger beer was finished in just a moment.
"If the wine is allowed to ferment naturally, a bottle of the most common red wine will take more than four months. The better ones are calculated on a yearly basis... the time required is too long."
Chen Lun took back his hand and sighed.
He chose to stop the fermentation, because if it continued, the alcohol content of this can of ginger beer would exceed the standard, and it would deviate from its original positioning.
From a refreshing light beer drink to a strong drink.
Chen Lun then filtered the impurities in the glass jar, separated half of it into bottles, and poured the other half into a new glass jar.
"Save this ordinary bottle for dinner."
Chen Lun wiped the wine bottle with a clean rag and gently put it aside.
He immediately looked at the remaining half of the wine.
"Then it's time for [Bloody Brew] to come into play..."
He took out two extraordinary materials from the panel, one was [Walking Fish Flesh] and the other was [Walking Fish Fins].
Although in Wonderland, walking fish are extraordinary creatures that are mysteriously contaminated, the materials left behind after death can be used normally... as if they have been purified invisibly.
Chen Lun could not find the reason for this yet, but he guessed that it might be related to the mechanism of the fairyland itself.
Putting two extraordinary materials into the glass jar, and then activating the [Brewmaker's] ability, his palms seemed to emit invisible energy fluctuations.
The extraordinary material that originally had a strange appearance quickly melted and completely blended into the wine, as if it had never appeared before.
After secondary fermentation, the wine takes on a darker milky yellow color.
A long while.
Chen Lun opened the glass jar, and a strange aroma of wine came out, which refreshed him.
【Extraordinary Wine-Unnamed】
Item description: The wine contains a hint of the power of the deep sea. It seems to be brewed from ordinary ginger beer with the addition of extraordinary materials.
Item effect: It can slightly improve water pressure resistance, increase vital capacity, and allow you to learn swimming in a short time. It can also slightly increase skin gloss and hydration.
"Well..."
Chen Lun looked at the jar of wine and shrugged.
"It is of little help to the battle, but it has some commercial value...it is a pity that it cannot be mass-produced."
Although the scene in Wonderland is always a dark forest, the dangers and opportunities encountered there are different. It is difficult to guarantee that you will encounter that pool again next time.
Even if he encountered it, Chen Lun did not intend to take the risk himself.
After all, the unknown behemoth under the pool gave people a really terrifying feeling.
"Just think of it as a beauty drink and give it to Floy and Connie..."
Chen Lun began to bottle the extraordinary wine in the glass jar, mentally planning his next brewing plan.
"[Bloody Craft Brew] cannot specify the effect of brewing fine wine. It is a bit random. Of course, it is also directly related to the extraordinary materials added... I will start brewing red wine next time. After all, that thing is the mainstream of this era. High-end wine.”(End of Chapter)
