Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 28 Passion Fruit Dew
The next morning.

Before leaving, Chu He handed Xiao Shuilier a drink.

This is the fruit wine he brewed last night using dozens of fruits picked from the misty fruit tree as the main ingredient.

Because the spirit of this main material is not very strong, it is only about the middle warrior level, and because all the auxiliary materials and ingredients are plants, the brewing time is greatly shortened.

Even if brewed in an ordinary wine jar, it will only take about three to five days.

In the white jade wine pot, it is even shorter, only one night is enough.

"Chu He, what is this?" The little girl looked at the glass bottle in her hand and sniffed it gently. "It smells so good!"

"Hahaha, didn't I say I'd make you some juice? This is it!" Chu He pointed at the glass coffee table, "The rest are all here. Come get them yourself if you want."

There, he poured all the fruit wine he brewed last night into a bucket of purified water.

A full twenty liters, enough for little Shuilier to drink for a long time.

"Delicious!" Chu Xi took a sip of the fruit wine in the cup. It was sour, sweet, and fragrant. She immediately looked up and asked Chu He with a smile, "Brother, what's the name of this?"

"Now you know how to call me brother?" Chu He pinched Chu Xi's little face in a rather amused manner, and replied with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you call me..."

"Okay, okay, what should we call it... Okay, I got it. How about Passion Fruit Dew?"

Seeing Chu Xi enjoying the drink, Xu Qingqing poured herself a glass of passion fruit juice. After taking a sip, her eyes lit up immediately.

"Boss, you can also make this kind of wine!" Xu Qingqing said softly, "Then why don't you make this in your winery?"

Chu He smiled and was about to explain the rarity of the raw materials, the differences in brewing techniques, and the serious consequences of selling spirit wine when he heard his mother continue:

"People like me who don't like drinking, and children like Xiao Shuili, will definitely like drinking this kind of wine that tastes like juice."

"I don't know much about business, but isn't there a saying that the easiest money to make is from women and children?"

"Last night, your father was complaining to me about how difficult it would be to open wineries and restaurants in all six base cities. It would cost a lot of money to buy them all..."

As she spoke, Xu Qingqing glanced at Chu He, who seemed to be lost in thought, and asked, "Why, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No...no, Mom, what you said makes sense." Chu He nodded slightly and sat aside to think.

Chu He was not worrying about anything else, but was thinking about what his mother had just said, the pressure on his father.

Before, Chu He simply pushed all the business affairs to his father, but he ignored the fact that even though his father was a mid-level general, business was business.

Since their own winery and restaurant do not have a flagship product, if they want to expand, they can only spend money to acquire them.

In this era of base cities, the wilderness is so vast that both the brewing industry and the restaurant industry can actually be classified as high-consumption industries.

There is not enough land to grow crops, so how can there be enough grain? Wine, which uses grain as the main raw material, naturally becomes a luxury.

In the Northeast Base City, with my grandfather's face, no matter whether it is the Extreme Martial Arts School, the Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School, or the major families, they will not make things difficult for my father, and the price required for the acquisition is reasonable.

But it’s different in other base cities.

Why should such a high-profit industry be handed over to a foreigner like you for free?

Therefore, one either has to spend a high price to buy it, which is equivalent to paying protection fees to local forces.

Or you can break in by relying on the strength of your products.

Or you can rely on your personal strength to get in.

Therefore, the only thing left for Chu He is the hard power of the product.

"How about... selling some spirit wine?" Chu He pondered.

First of all, it definitely can't be the kind of Red Blood Wine or Deer Horn Wine that can significantly improve personal strength. This kind of wine is not available yet. With Chu He's current strength, it can't cover him.

Secondly, the brewing process should not be too different from the winery’s current grain brewing process.

Processes like distillation and filtration are very different from brewing spirits, and they need to be changed on the new production line.

Finally, it is the acquisition of raw materials.

To brew spiritual wine, although not all materials must have spiritual energy, the main materials must have spiritual energy.

As for the brewing time, complexity of ingredients, and profit, these are minor issues.

After calculating all these factors one by one and considering them carefully, Chu He concluded that only passion fruit juice was the most suitable.

In fact, this set of wine recipes is similar to the Red Blood Wine, and they are from the same series.

Red Blood Wine is made from the hearts of monsters of different grades and races. Depending on the type of monster heart, the auxiliary ingredients and condiments used are also different.

The brewed red blood wine has basically the same taste and effect.

This passion fruit juice is made with any kind of fruit that contains spiritual energy as the main ingredient, and the auxiliary ingredients and toppings will change accordingly.

The difference is that the passion fruit juice produced not only changes in taste with the type of fruit, but also in its efficacy with the effectiveness of the main ingredients.

Of course, most of them have the effects of nourishing the skin and the body.

The effect is not too obvious, but it can also improve your appearance and temperament after long-term drinking.

The only trouble is where to find enough main materials?
"Mom, do you know where there are large orchards of fruit trees?"

"Fruit forest?" Xu Qingqing pondered for a while, but she couldn't think of any fruit forest near the base city.

"Guolin? Why do you suddenly ask this?" Chu Tianxiong yawned and walked down from the second floor.

Last night, Chu Tianxiong was thinking about how to expand the winery and restaurant to six base cities. He thought about it for most of the night and got up a little late today.

Chu Tianxiong didn't think to ask more questions, and answered dazedly: "There used to be a lot of fruit trees in our Northeast. Now... I remember there used to be a temple in Shenyang Base City. The temple was full of peach trees. Is it okay?"

"Peach Blossom Forest?" Chu He raised his eyebrows. This is really feasible!

Peach blossom wine!

It can detoxify, nourish the skin, dispel cold and replenish blood, and is most suitable for the elderly, women and children.

However, whether peach blossom wine is brewed with peach blossoms as the main material, or peach juice is brewed with peaches as the raw material, depends on which of the two main materials has the most inspiration.

He'll have to wait until he comes back to check it out in person.

"Dad, don't think about expanding to other base cities yet. Look for or contract some orchards near our Northeast Base City and the eight nearby satellite cities."

As he spoke, Chu He left behind a few more wine recipes.

In addition to peach blossoms as the main ingredient, there are also spirit wine recipes using peaches and honey as the main ingredients, or several other common fruits as the main ingredients.

"By the way, let's innovate the medicinal herb planting base needed for the auxiliary ingredients and the winery's brewing process."

After dealing with these things, Chu He did not stay any longer.

The vines in the foggy community are still waiting for him to pick them up!

If we go too late, I'm afraid even the soul-collecting technique won't be of any use.
