Chapter 132 Drunk
While waiting for the first batch of peanuts and corn to mature, Yun Xi began to put into practice what she had learned.
She began experimenting with making wine at home.
The alcohol content of the wines in this era was not high. The most common wines were less than 10% alcohol, and some were even only 3% alcohol, and they were quite turbid. "A cup of turbid wine brings home thousands of miles away" and "A pot of turbid wine brings joy to reunion" are exactly what this means.
In ancient times, people would often drink several jars of wine because the alcohol concentration was low, even lower than that of beer, so it was no big deal to drink a little more.
Yun Xi first brewed some light-fragrance liquor, which took a relatively short time. Moreover, she combined the wine-making and medicine-refining techniques and brewed some medicinal liquor, using a very mild solid-nourishing recipe.
After brewing, she sent one jar to the Yun family and another jar to the old general. She herself didn't like wine, so she just took a sip to taste it.
She had practiced this process in the learning space, and the finished product was recognized by the teacher. At that time, the teacher who taught her how to make wine, Yi Di, nodded slightly and gave her the evaluation of "junior winemaker".
Yun Xi already had a basic understanding of what the system considered "beginner". In terms of cooking skills, she felt that her original cooking skills were pretty good, but in the hands of the cooking teacher designated by the system, Mr. Yi Yin, who was known as the "Saint of Cooking", she was simply not good enough! From knife skills to heat, from the selection of ingredients to the precise control of the taste of the ingredients themselves, to the plating and decoration, she was criticized for nothing. In order to achieve the achievement of "beginner chef", she almost ruined herself.
From this we can see that this elementary system would be extremely advanced if put into the real world.
The night the wine was delivered to the old general, the general's mansion was almost overturned by the old man. He began to practice in the room, not only that, but he also chanted loudly and chattered non-stop.
The noise spread from inside the house to outside, alarming the whole family.
At that time, Yun Xi, Mu Sheng, Mu Xuan, and Mu Jinyan had just finished dinner and were chatting together. When they heard the noise, they hurried to the upstairs room.
The old man was making so much noise that there was no way to stop him. The old lady gave the order and the Mu Sheng brothers worked together to knock the old man unconscious.
Yun Xi held Mu Jinyan and carefully shrank to the side to avoid being affected. She frantically tapped the system in her mind: "Kaiyuan, quick! Check, is the old man okay?"
"It's nothing, I just drank too much and acted crazy."
Yun Xi: "...How much did you drink?"
"He has already drunk half the jar of wine you gave him."
Yun Xi was shocked. Her jar could hold at least 3 kilograms. Half a jar would be kilograms, which was indeed a bit too much.
"No, doesn't he know how much he can drink?"
"He knows it well, and usually drinks half a jar. But there is a huge difference between drinking half a jar of 8-proof liquor and drinking half a jar of 38-proof liquor!"
Yun Xi wiped her face and asked again: "You didn't get drunk, did you?"
"No, no, host, don't worry. The medicinal wine you brewed will only benefit his body. He just needs to act crazy and get rid of the alcohol smell."
Yun Xi sniffed and felt a faint smell of alcohol in the air.
She felt relieved and started to complain to Mu Jinyan: "Your grandpa is drunk. See? You can't drink too much alcohol. When you drink too much, you will be a completely different person than usual. You will do things that will make you feel embarrassed when you sober up."
I guess the old man will want to leave the earth after he sobers up? I wonder if he still remembers what he did today?
Mu Jinyan was a little scared at first, but Yun Xi kept holding him to watch the fun, and he could feel that his mother was a little excited. Slowly, he was not afraid anymore. The mother and son watched with great interest with their big eyes.
Hearing Yun Xi's opinion, Mu Jinyan nodded his head and said, "Drink less."
It was terrible to be like Grandpa when you were drunk. His face was so red that even his neck was red, and it seemed like there was steam coming out of his head.
The old lady pressed her eyebrows and sent a servant to call for a doctor.
The old man's symptoms of being drunk were very obvious, but she never suspected that it was a big problem.
Mu Sheng picked up the wine glass and smelled it, then poured a little more and tasted it, saying, "This wine is strong. I'm afraid it won't work for Dad to drink it as usual."
The old lady was helpless and amused, "He discovered it as soon as he drank it. He kept praising it while drinking, saying that the alcohol was pure and delicious. He drank too much without realizing it. I didn't expect it to be so strong."
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Xixi brewed two jars in total. One was sent here, and the other was sent back to my father-in-law. It seems that I should send someone to tell my father-in-law to drink less."
Yun Xi also agreed: "Yes, yes, it is necessary."
Although her father usually only drinks one cup, he still needs to be reminded.
Mu Sheng asked his followers to run a trip.
Soon, the old doctor was invited. He sat down beside the bed and checked the old general's pulse, then said, "It's okay. I'll prescribe a prescription for sobering up. Just drink one bowl."
After confirming that the old man was fine, the old lady told everyone to go back and rest.
Mu Jinyan stayed directly in the upper room and was taken to rest by the wet nurse.
When Mu Sheng left, he took away the remaining half jar of wine. Mu Xuan also followed him happily.
