Elven settlers

Chapter 295 Suspected Failed Fermentation
Once you have a time node that you are looking forward to, you will feel that time passes very slowly.

During the period before going to Sunshine Town, Rock was very difficult.

Every morning when he gets up, he has to measure the hair of Mali sheep and Shaggy sheep as soon as possible.

And before going to bed at night, he had to look at the calendar and count the days.

Fortunately, the busy and fulfilling work during the day occupied all of Rock's energy and physical strength, leaving him no time to be distracted.

So although it was difficult, the day passed quickly every day, and the time passed in such a busy week.

"Is it ok? Are you sure it's ok!"

Rock was carrying a bucket and looked at the geranium expectantly.

When eating breakfast this morning, Geranium suddenly seemed to have noticed something. The two stamen tentacles detected in the air for a while, and then told Rock with certainty that the liquid in the carapace of the pots had finished fermenting.

So very pleasantly surprised, Rock finished the food in his hands in two or three bites, found a clean bucket, and hurried to the oak forest.

"Gamma!"

Geranium nodded confidently to Roque.

Seeing this, the Abo monster and Helujia who came over also looked at the pots in the middle of the wooden pile with bright eyes.

Only Chenglong sniffed the smell in the air, and then tilted his head in some doubts.

However, out of trust in its partners, it didn't make a sound, and this scene was not noticed by Rock and the others who were all focused on the pots.

"Ha ha!"

After getting Geranium's confirmation, Rock couldn't wait to pick up a pot.

"Bah~"

Kehu didn't resist Rock's movements, but stretched out its tentacled limbs very friendly and wrapped them around its arms.

Rock held the carapace of the jug and shook it lightly, and there was a "ton ton" sound of liquid inside.

He put his nose to the hole in the shell of the pot and smelled it, and he smelled a slightly sweet and sour fragrance, but there was no smell of alcohol.

Rock didn't pay much attention to this, because the smell was not unpleasant, and he thought it might be a unique feature of the carapace of the pot.

"Let me taste what it tastes like."

Roque lifted the pot, pointed the hole in the carapace to his mouth, and poured out a small stream of liquid.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

After swallowing a mouthful, Rock's throat suddenly stagnated, and he immediately put the pot from his mouth.

"Gamei?" "Qiabo?" "Hey Lu?" "Boo"

The geraniums were still waiting anxiously for Roque to comment on the taste of the liquid in the carapace of the pot, but they looked at him suspiciously after seeing Roque's movements.

"This smell..."

Rock looked at the pot in his hand and slowly frowned.

As soon as the liquid poured from the carapace of the pot was in the mouth, it did not taste like the sweet and mellow honey wine as imagined, but it was a little sour, and the taste was a bit like...

"vinegar!"

Rock pondered this taste for a while, and suddenly realized.

Immediately afterwards, he poured all the liquid in the carapace of the pot into the bucket he brought. The color of the liquid was very light amber, clear and translucent.

"That's right, vinegar is made with oxygen, and wine is made without oxygen. This is completely junior high school biological knowledge, how could I forget about it!"

Before Rock poured honey and water into the carapaces of the pots, because he believed in the magical fermentation ability of the pots, he didn't care anymore.

As a result, a very important step was neglected, that is to plug the hole in the shell of the pot with a wooden plug.

This mistake caused the fermentation environment in the carapace of the pot to become an aerobic environment, while the fermentation of alcohol requires an anaerobic environment, and the fermentation product of sugars in an aerobic environment is acetic acid.

So although the pots and pots fermented successfully, what they got was not the mead that Rock wanted, but a kind of vinegar, which might be called honey vinegar.

"But this honey vinegar seems to be okay?"

Rock stretched out his finger to dip a little bit of the clear honey vinegar in the bucket, put it in his mouth and tasted it again.

This kind of honey vinegar tastes sour and sweet, with a slight fragrance of honey, but it is not as sweet as honey, nor as pungent and irritating as ordinary vinegar. It enters the throat very delicately, and feels appetizing after drinking it.

"Try it."

Rock carried the bucket and asked Abbe to taste them all. As a result, the elves felt that the honey vinegar brewed by accident was not bad.

Since everyone doesn't hate the taste of honey vinegar, Rock is going to keep the honey vinegar and use it directly as vinegar for daily cooking.

After all, these honey vinegars are still the product of successful fermentation in pots and pots, and the raw material is precious super-grade honey. Judging from the nutritional value inside, it will definitely be of great benefit to the bodies of Rock and the elves.

Of course, Rock didn't forget the five different-colored pots, and the fermentation products of the different-colored pots would have unique effects.

But I don't know if it's because the effect is too slow, or because the raw materials added at that time are too simple. Rock tasted it and found that it was no different from the honey vinegar fermented in ordinary pots except that it tasted a little more fragrant.

So Rock directly mixed the honey vinegar in the shells of all the pots and pots, and filled them with two sealed steel tanks with a capacity of [-] liters.

"The honey vinegar is enough to last until next year, but it will save a kind of supplement in the future."

Rock moved two heavy steel cans full of honey vinegar to the bottom of the tool shed, and achieved a kind of food self-sufficiency. Although it was just a seasoning, he was still very satisfied.

The raw material of these honey vinegar is the extra-grade large-needle honey harvested by our own bee farm, and it is brewed through a pot with magical fermentation ability. It is safe and reliable and has a very high nutritional value.

Over time, Rock and the elves will get better and better physically. His ultimate goal is to achieve self-sufficiency in more than 80.00% of the three meals.

"What to eat until next year, Rock, what good things are you hiding!"

Suddenly Junsha Yamei's voice fell from the sky, and Rock quickly looked up.

Bi Diao spread his wide wings, swooped down from the sky, flapped his wings a moment before landing, fanned a whirlwind to counteract the inertia of falling, and landed lightly on the ground.

"Yami, you came just in time. The potters have just brewed a batch of honey vinegar, and the taste is very good."

Rock opened his arms and caught Junsha Yami who jumped off Bi Diao's back.

This weight is not a problem for Rock, who has been tempered by riding a dragon.

"Oh? Then I'm going to have a good taste. But wait a minute, guess what I brought you?"

After a warm hug, Junsha Yami let go of Rock, and then looked at him narrowly.
