Chapter 66

After nearly a week, the first batch of food crops had already matured.

The first batch of crops was wheat and sorghum. This wasn't something Ye Yuan planted randomly; these were crops he had planned out long ago.

After so many days of cultivation, all three physical attributes had increased slightly. If it weren't for the points he spent on the formula, Ye Yuan would really want to exchange for a few physical enhancement pills to quickly improve his physical condition.

After exchanging the technique, a formula appeared in Ye Yuan's mind.

This was something he had wanted to exchange for a long time. Ye Yuan enjoyed drinking, and during his college days, he and his roommates often drank together. Although he wasn't a heavy drinker, his alcohol tolerance was definitely not low.

As Ye Yuan used the system's items, he could feel that these techniques were very advanced. He wanted to know how the alcohol brewed from this formula would differ from the alcohol on Earth.

Although he enjoyed drinking, Ye Yuan didn't know much about brewing.

However, he did know a little. Nowadays, there are many brewing techniques available online, and if you're willing, you can even brew your own alcohol at home.

There are many different brewing methods, each with its own unique taste.

Ye Yuan himself enjoyed drinking, so he could often tell the quality of different alcohols just by tasting them. Due to his family's financial situation, he had only heard of a few high-end Chinese liquors, such as Maotai and Wuliangye.

The brewing technique he exchanged for seemed very similar to the brewing process of Chinese liquor on Earth.

Ye Yuan immediately exited the space, turned on his computer, and looked up the types of high-end Chinese liquors. The techniques provided by the system were clearly of high quality.

There are many high-end Chinese liquors, and Chinese alcohol culture has a long history, spanning thousands of years. The brewing industry has remained prosperous, and the "alcohol table culture" in China is even more prominent.

Many things are discussed over alcohol, and the saying "no alcohol, no banquet" is deeply ingrained in the Chinese psyche.

Ye Yuan looked at the current high-end Chinese liquors, which included Maotai, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, and many others.

The prices varied widely, from tens of thousands of yuan per bottle to a few hundred yuan per bottle. This doesn't include the classic aged liquors, many of which are highly sought after but not easily available.

Based on the information he found, it was clear that Chinese liquor had a significant market.

Recalling the brewing technique in his mind, it included the production of yeast, brewing processes, and a comprehensive set of techniques. However, Ye Yuan did not know how to brew and was not familiar with some of the key technical terms.

This didn't bother Ye Yuan. The robots under his command had strong learning abilities. Given some time, Ye Yuan believed these techniques would not be a problem.

Ye Yuan printed the brewing technique and gave it to Ding Er, instructing him to use the space-grown grains to brew some alcohol. He also bought some ordinary grains from Pinghai County.

Ye Yuan wanted to know if there would be any difference between the alcohol brewed from the two different types of grains.

A few days passed, and Ye Yuan's liquor was ready.

He took two different types of alcohol back to his room. He was confident in the space-grown grains, so he first tasted the alcohol brewed from the ordinary grains.

Opening the wine jar, a faint alcohol aroma filled the room. Taking a small sip, the mouth was filled with the fragrance of alcohol.

The liquor was smooth and went down easily, with a mild spiciness but a lingering aftertaste, making it very pleasant.

Ye Yuan knew his liquor was a success. Even the best liquor sold for tens of thousands of yuan per bottle was not as good as the one he was drinking now.

Next, he tasted the liquor brewed from the space-grown grains. The taste was much better than that of the ordinary grains, and it had a feeling of being aged for many years. Not only that, but it also left a lingering fragrance in the empty cup after drinking.

The liquor brewed from the space-grown grains was simply too good. Ye Yuan inadvertently drank more than half a catty without realizing it.

If he hadn't tasted the liquor from the space-grown grains, the first type would have been considered top-tier liquor. However, compared to the second type, it was still inferior.

There was also a significant difference in the water used. The latter was brewed entirely with space lake water, while the former used a mixture of ordinary mountain spring water and some space lake water.

Ye Yuan did not plan to sell the space liquor. Like the feed, the best things should be used for himself. He named the liquor "Aftertaste" because it left a lasting impression after drinking.

The "Aftertaste" brewed from the space-grown grains would be packaged differently for future gifts, while the ordinary grains would be sold to the public.

The follow-up work for the liquor, such as production permits, brewing lines, and trademark registration, was entrusted to Li Hui. The "Fish Bay Seafood" company was well-known in the county, and any matters related to their family were given a green light. Within three days, all the procedures were completed, and the production line was also set up.

Ten workers from the fishery were assigned to the brewery to handle the production line and packaging. The most critical technical aspects were known only to Ding Er, ensuring that the techniques would not be leaked.

Ye Yuan's brewery was now operating at full capacity, with ships transporting grains to Fish Bay Island to begin the production of "Aftertaste."

One day, Ye Yuan was playing with Niuniu on the beach, with Dahuang following behind. The sky was occasionally filled with the calls of Xiaojin.

Xiaojin's wingspan had reached 1.5 meters, and he was close to adulthood.

Niuniu, tired from playing, lay on the sand, and Ye Yuan sat beside her.

"Uncle, can I invite friends to play at our house?" Niuniu asked in a mature tone.

Ye Yuan was suddenly taken aback. He had only been concerned about Niuniu's quality of life and had forgotten that children of her age needed playmates. Niuniu was like a little princess on Fish Bay Island, but was this any different from a canary in a cage?

"When did you make friends, Niuniu? Uncle didn't know." Ye Yuan was curious about where Niuniu had met her friends.

"It's Nianxin, the little sister who came to our house last time. We often video chat, and Nianxin really wants to come to our house again."

Only then did Ye Yuan realize that the two little girls had been in touch since their last meeting.
