Chapter 210 Merits and Demerits
Fengyun doesn't know how the wine is brewed. He only remembers seeing the brewing process of rice wine in a documentary introducing food. ~
The documentary also doesn't go into great detail, so he only has a fairly vague idea of what goes into making wine.
In addition, he remembered that brewing requires an extremely important raw material - koji.
As for how to make distiller's yeast, he has no idea at all.
At that time, he was just trying to make wine, and he was not at all sure of success.
However, the result was far beyond his expectations.
Relying on his vague memory and continuous estimation, he was stunned to succeed.
Although he didn't succeed the first time, he didn't try too many times, which was much easier than making seasonings such as soy sauce and vinegar.
After the wine was brewed, Fengyun felt that the taste was not bad after tasting it. It was sweet and fragrant, and it was the aroma of fruit.
Since there was no rice in the tribe at that time, he simply substituted fruit.
The first wine he successfully brewed was actually fruit wine.
Good things cannot be enjoyed by one person alone, so Fengyun took out the fruit wine during the meal and asked Bei, Hong and Zhu to taste it too.
At first, they hesitated, after all, they had never seen such a thing before.
But out of trust in Fengyun, they all tasted it.
What happened next was far beyond Fengyun's expectations.
He originally thought that they would not be used to the taste of fruit wine. Although it was sweet and fragrant, it was still a little spicy.
But they became addicted as soon as they drank it, and they kept asking him to add it.
Coincidentally, Bao and Lei also come to have a meal, which is what they often do.
They soon became like Bei and the others. He became very interested in fruit wine, especially Bao, so he simply snatched the jar of wine and held it tightly in his arms, refusing to give it to anyone.
Later, the fruit wine was violently given to Wu. He also liked it.
In short, almost without exception, all primitive people who have tasted fruit wine are very fond of it, even some women are no exception.
After fruit wine got everyone's welcome, it began to be brewed on a large scale.
In particular, Bao was the most active, and even directly asked Fengyun for the method of brewing wine, and brewed it himself.
Not long after, Fengyun discovered that Bao had an extremely powerful talent for brewing wine.
He just told his successful experience of brewing fruit wine, but he actually developed multiple varieties in a short period of time. For example, Baihua wine with various flower petals added, and multigrain wine made with a variety of miscellaneous grains.
Watching him put new varieties of wine in front of him, Fengyun felt incredible.
He wasn't sure how to brew these newly developed wine varieties.
These wines are already quite different from the original fruit wines, and the brewing process is also very different.
With the brewing of various wines, the people of the Yan Snake tribe suddenly became obsessed with it. Apart from drinking it with meals,
Usually also drink.
Some people like Bao who are seriously obsessed with alcohol. Even took it as a drink, thirsty. Instead of drinking water, drink alcohol.
If you drink too much alcohol, problems also appear, such as drinking crazy, oversleeping and causing trouble...
With more and more incidents like this, Wu also had to pay attention. Although he himself likes alcohol very much, he has self-control after all, and has never caused any accidents due to drinking.
He first promulgated the prohibition of alcohol, of course, it is not a complete prohibition, but only requires that people who have something to do should never drink alcohol.
Wu Zai has absolute authority in the Yan Snake Tribe. Under normal circumstances, the orders he issued would be strictly enforced, but this time there was an accident.
The effect of Prohibition is minimal, and what should be drunk is still drunk.
When he saw that this was not going to work, he decided to catch one or two and punish them severely, so as to deter others and prevent them from disobeying his orders.
He did so, but the effect is still not ideal.
At first, his goal was also achieved. After punishing a few unlucky ones, the drinking trend seemed to stop, but after a short time, there was a resurgence.
To make matters worse, the various conditions that occurred due to drinking became more serious.
When there is no prohibition on alcohol, everyone drinks as much as they want.
Alcohol is banned by witches, so they can't drink it casually, but they want to drink again, what's the matter?
It's very simple, if you take the opportunity to drink hard, drink hard, and if you drink too much, the adverse consequences of alcohol will naturally become more serious.
In the end, Wu really had no choice but to come to Fengyun for help.
Fengyun also cannot solve this problem.
Before time travel, how many people thought about how to solve the problems caused by drinking, but none of them succeeded, so how could he have any good solution.
After seeking Fengyun to find a solution to the problem but failed, Wu seemed quite annoyed and frustrated, and defined wine as the worst of all his inventions.
For this, Fengyun could only smile wryly.
At the beginning of wine making, he never expected that primitive people would adapt to the taste of wine so quickly and fell in love with it crazily.
Although Fengyun did not give a complete solution to the drinking problem, he still told him some of the treatment methods he knew, even though they could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
After returning, the witch revoked the prohibition on alcohol, but increased the punishment for drinking and making troubles and causing trouble.
At the same time, restrictions were imposed on wine making, from the original brewing by each family to centralized brewing.
Wu asked people to build a large winery, and some people were selected to work in the winery, who were responsible for brewing wine. Whoever wanted to drink wine could exchange it with wine chips.
The wine chip is a kind of prop that Fengyun came up with to help Wu control the amount of drinking.
Only by holding the wine chip can you go to the wine shop to exchange for wine, otherwise the wine shop will never distribute the wine.
Wine chips are issued at the beginning of each month, and the number of wine chips you get depends on people's contributions to the tribe.
Those who contribute a lot to the tribe will get more wine chips, and vice versa, they will get less.
This is the rule that Fengyun and Wu Shang came up with after discussing.
Since drinking alcohol cannot be banned, we should discover its good side and make good use of it, so that the tribe can develop and grow faster.
As soon as this regulation came out, people's enthusiasm suddenly increased, and they began to take the initiative to help the tribe do various things. The whole tribe is a good sign of prosperity.
Saw it work.
Wu decided to make persistent efforts, found Fengyun, and discussed what else they could do with wine.
Later, they decided to expand the scope of reward wine chips.
For example, there is a big competition every month, and those who get a good ranking, or those who have greatly improved their strength can get extra wine chips.
People's enthusiasm for exercising was immediately detonated. Many times, it was dark, and some people were still training very hard.
Seeing that the effect was so good, Wu changed his view on wine and began to agree with Fengyun's words.
Nothing is absolutely bad, and nothing is absolutely good. The key is to see how to guide it, enlarge its good side as much as possible, and suppress its bad side as much as possible.
In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Feng Yun and Wu decided to expand the scope of wine chip rewards to everyone in the Yan Snake Tribe.
If ordinary people can make outstanding contributions, or have outstanding performance in their daily work, they can also be rewarded with wine chips.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fengyun also stood up and said that whoever can improve and improve the inventions and creations he made before, or come up with new inventions, he will also reward them.
In view of Fengyun's great contribution to the tribe, everyone unanimously decided that even if Fengyun does nothing, he can still receive a lot of wine chips every month.
The number of wine chips that Fengyun received was indeed very large, reaching one-tenth of the total amount distributed every month.
Due to the great attraction of wine to people, the wine chip that can be exchanged for wine has the meaning of currency to a certain extent. At least within the scope of the Yan Snake Tribe, Feng Yun can use them to exchange most of the things he wants .
With so many wine chips, he deservedly became the richest man of the Yan Snake tribe, even Wu Wu could compare to him.
Although Wu holds a lot of materials that people have paid up, the amount is far from what Fengyun can compare, but they belong to the common property of the tribe.
If Wu wants to use it, the amount is relatively small, but once it reaches a certain amount, he must seek the opinions of all the people in the Yan Snake Tribe, which is far less free than Fengyun, who can control it at will.
Fengyun will take out the wine chips he owns to encourage everyone, because he understands that if a tribe wants to become truly strong, it is absolutely impossible to rely on only one person, and it requires the joint efforts of everyone.
The key to making a tribe grow rapidly is whether the tribe has an innovative spirit, whether it can invent various effective new tools, technologies, management methods, and so on.
At the same time, he also believed that the people of the Yan Snake Tribe would make achievements.
Primitive people's minds are not stupid, and some of their actions will look childish or stupid in Fengyun's eyes, a large part of which is due to their lack of civilization and knowledge.
The primitive people did not live up to Fengyun's trust.
After a short time, some successful cases appeared.
Although these cases were just some changes to his inventions, and even some changes not only failed to achieve good results, but made them worse, Fengyun still fulfilled his promise and rewarded them.
What he really cares about is not how successful they are, but that they really did it and used their brains in the process.
Once they develop the habit of using their brains to think, Fengyun believes that it is not far from them coming up with brand-new inventions and creations.
More importantly, as long as a group of people who can use hands and brains is cultivated, even if he does nothing in the future, the development and growth of the Yan Snake tribe will be inevitable. (To be continued.)
