Although Li Qi wanted to stay in Blackshi Valley for a little longer, because he had a hometown feeling for Blackshi Valley. After all, he no longer had his hometown now. Blackshi Valley was his first home when he came to this world, so this was his hometown. Unfortunately, the reality did not allow him to do so. After discussing work arrangements with Po Yi, he immediately returned to Yehumen.

But he also brought Lulong and Qin.

Longlong wanted to go to Yehumen early in the morning, but Poyi was afraid that he would cause trouble for Li Qi, so he never gave in. This time Li Qi came, and he pestered Li Qi. After all, he was a master of dying and was trying to die in Black Stone Valley every day. It was really hard to die. If you go outside and die, you might die faster.

I was so energetic all the way.

In the past, it was like a stagnant trip, and everyone stayed away from home. Now people can be seen everywhere, and there are special guards to protect those who work. Of course, they can also be understood as hunting teams.

Although this human bow and arrow are just a scumbag in the eyes of the royal family and basically has no effect, it actually improves the combat effectiveness of humans. Now facing those wild beasts, humans are no longer afraid of them. Of course, this is only limited to ordinary wild beasts. If a royal mount comes, that would not be the result!

"Li Qi! You are back! A bad thing! A bad thing!"

As soon as Nong saw Li Qi coming back, he hurriedly went up to meet him.

Li Qi said in surprise: "What bad thing is it?"

Nong said: "It was the juice you asked me to stir. It was fine at first, but when I stirred last time, I suddenly smelled a pungent smell. I thought it was broken!"

Speaking of the latter, he said nervously: "Yes...but I can't blame me, I did what you said."

Li Qi was really overjoyed and said, "That's not broken, that's fermenting, that's what I want, haha!"

Nong was stunned and said in great confusion: "Then...that's what you said is delicious? I..."

Li Qi said: "You can't drink it now. Let's talk while walking."

When he arrived at the cave, Li Qi carefully uncovered the lid and saw that the color of the golden grape turned amber. He sniffed, feeling ecstatic, the smell of wine! It was the smell of wine!

Of course, if you want to say that it is particularly fragrant, it is definitely a scam, because this is the first fermentation, and it will take a second fermentation to become a real wine.

"Call Agu to me!"

"oh."

Although there is still no distinction between superiority and inferiority, everyone is now used to Li Qi's instructions. Although Li Qi doesn't look like a proposition, he has too many things to be busy with now, and he must look like a leader.

After a while, Agu walked over with its short legs and said, "Li Qi, are you looking for me?"

It is more sensible and respectful to Li Qi, which shows that it has seen the world.

Li Qi asked, "How are the tools I asked you to prepare?"

Agu nodded and said, "I've been ready for a long time. I...I've also undergone some changes."

"I've always been full of confidence in your changes."

Li Qi laughed.

......

Under the big tree.

I saw Taba and the others sitting cross-legged, looking at the one-meter-high wooden basket full of curiosity. It was made of fine wood chips, which looked a bit similar to a bird cage, but the gap in the middle was much smaller.

This is the basket press, an ancient design. After the industrial revolution, tools were being updated and replaced. There was a period of time when this basket press was almost abandoned. However, as people pursued better quality, not just speed and quantity, this design was favored by many wineries because of its extremely high pressing quality, large juice production, and a relatively soft press, which was slower and troublesome, and was not fully automatic and required manual labor.

But later handmade things became more and more valuable, and the same was true for brewing wine.

But if Li Qi wants to choose, he will definitely choose fully automatic. For him, speed and quantity are money!

As for the little bit of taste, I don’t have to care at all, because he is facing a group of customers who don’t even know what the wine is.

“You mean rotary press?”

Li Qi looked at Agu in shock.

Agu hurriedly explained: "I...I have tried it. If you rotate and press down, the power will be greater and easy to control, so you won't blow up this tool."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me!" Li Qi waved his hand repeatedly and said, "I like this design very much, but I want to know, how did you get this thread?"

This basket press was designed by Li Qi. He designed it simply to press down. However, Agu added a stone device on it. There was a round hole in the middle of the stone. A stone tool was inserted into it and directly connected to the round pressing stone below. However, there were threads in the hole. If you rotated down, you would slowly squeeze it. This would prevent excessive force from being used. This would definitely happen because the people here were in a state of out of control of their strength.

Agu immediately took out two black iron tools from his small backpack. They were very thin, one was straight and the other was curved, and said, "I made them."

"Can this make this thread?" Li Qi said with wide eyes.

Agu nodded and said, "This black iron grinds the stone very quickly."

Li Qi also knew this, but this was so exquisite craftsmanship that it could be made. This... This can only be explained as racial talent. The hands of the beasts are really flexible, but they can only make some fine things and said excitedly: "Let's try it!"

He first poured the fermented golden grapes into a basket press, covered the lid, and then turned the handle, and saw the amber liquid seeping out of the gap and flowing into a wine jar.

After pressing all, Li Qi sealed the wine jar with the original method of ancient times and did not use any cork, because cork had to be studied. It was not as simple as inserting a piece of wood on it. If it was not done properly, it would damage the wine. Most of the wines in later generations did not use cork.

As for the peels, Li Qi did not pour them out, but preserved them for experimenting with yeast. Although the golden grapes can be fermented by themselves, with yeast, many fruits can be used to make wine. Li Qi seemed to have seen colorful coins rolling towards him.

Yeast must be made, and there is one more important thing, that is sugar.

Although it is okay not to add, it is difficult to season and control the alcohol content. If there is no sugar, the operation requirements are extremely high. Simply put, commercial brewing must require sugar, but it is just a matter of proportion.

Li Qi is very confident about this because a very important factor in brewing is temperature. The temperature here is simply for brewing. Because the temperature here does not fluctuate much, it is basically constant temperature. If the seal is well done, it does not need to be placed in the hole, but it can be placed outside directly. Although Li Qi doesn't know how much, the temperature you feel should be the best brewing temperature.

And the experiment told Li Qi that the bacteria can only crystallize into sugar.

The sugar-making tools have been made all of them, and they are made by the cooperation between the beasts and humans.

There are two large stone trunks, round and weighing one ton, and they are arranged side by side, leaving only a gap. Some convex grooves and grooves have been chiseled on both stone trunks. Simply put, it is the gear design, with a long crosswood on it.

This is a tool used to make sugar in ancient times. It was specially used to squeeze sugarcane. It was not until after the Industrial Revolution that people gradually gave up.

Originally, two or three cows were needed to pull it, but Li Qi didn’t have a cow, and he didn’t need a cow. In later generations, Rong probably punched and did not rest.

Lie and Hui pushed the crossbar and rotated with the stone lure as the center. Two girls squatted beside the stone lure and sent a long chain of mushrooms into the gap. This stone lure is specially used to squeeze sugarcane. Li Qi had to make the mushrooms into sugarcane, so he ordered people to twist the mushrooms together early, which was thicker than dry sugarcane, but the front was thinner.

When the two big stones rotated, they twisted the bacteria into the gap, and the juice flowed from the bottom of the stones into a large pot.

After the juice came out, it was boiled. Li Qi divided two pots and used lime and white grass ash for purifying. This is a secret recipe. Only the farmers knew why they let the farmers know, because Li Qi was not familiar with the lime and grass ash here. The lime here was made from the Bailan tribe. While he had to see the effect, he had to let the farmers try it and not make toxic sugar.

I have to say that the crystal belly of the farmer is better than that of the machine, and it will produce an effect immediately, and the effect of the sugar is directly intuitively expressed.

To develop food, farmers are really indispensable.

If this continues, Shennong will really become a food expert, or it can be said that he is not doing his job properly.

With continuous experiments and exploration, Li Qi finally found a set of process flow suitable for fungi and golden grapes.

In fact, so far, it's still experimenting.

But there are two things that can be confirmed, that is, golden grapes are the best winemaking material so far, and mushrooms are the only material for sugar making.

Since it is either mass production, it cannot be left wild, and it must be planted on a large scale. Li Qi has completely forgotten the warnings of Ren Nu, because he already knows that Ren Nu is the kind of person who stands and says he doesn't have a back pain. When each race mentions Lingzhou, the products are so rich that they don't need tools. Of course, what can be wild? They have enough time to wait, but humans do not. Humans must rely on their own wisdom and experience.

Li Qi is not very familiar with mushrooms. Fortunately, his information mentioned that as for how to plant vines, Li Qi chose an extremely high-end method, which is the grafting method.

A wife of his Northern Song Dynasty was a master of this field, and he was also influenced by it. This was not a difficult task for him. However, Taba and the others thought that the grafting was too magical, so they cut off the branches and leaves and inserted them on other trunks to grow.
