Chapter 996: Teyvat - Inspiration about Wine
Because he was ruthlessly abandoned by his friends, Gojo Satoru almost rolled on the ground in the street.
After returning to Liyue Harbor, he also threw a tantrum.
"What's wrong with him? Are Fontaine's desserts not delicious?" Sasuke felt a little confused.
"Just going crazy periodically." Aiko Gojo gave the packed desserts she brought back to Naruto and Sasuke.
"Where's mine?" Wendy looked at her eagerly.
"I bought you some gummy candies." Aiko Gojo stuffed two large jars of orange candies into Wendy's hands.
"Isn't this something used to coax children?" Wendy turned around and tried to stuff the candy into Naruto and Sasuke's hands.
Both Naruto and Sasuke refused, after all, this thing had already been given to them by Ying and Paimon.
"Well, it seems we have no choice but to take it back to Mondstadt." Wendy thought about taking the candy back and sharing it.
Or… could the specialty candies from Fontaine be traded for a glass of dandelion wine?
Aiko Gojo also bought a lot of Maple Leaf and put it directly in the cabinet so that anyone who wanted to drink it could just take it.
She also purchased some of Fontaine's specialty ingredients, intending to bring them back as gifts for Zhufu Jingguang and others.
"Are we going to Mondstadt next?" Gojo Satoru suddenly stopped being angry and began to plan to go to Mondstadt with great interest.
Since the custom-made tableware had not yet been made, they could go out and play during this time.
"Is there any delicious food in Mond?" Aiko Gojo had eaten it before, but had kind of forgotten about it.
But she still remembered the sweet flower stuffed chicken, because Paimon liked to eat it very much and often mentioned it.
In fact, sweet flower stuffed chicken is a whole sweet roast chicken. In some places, honey is spread on the surface of the roast chicken. It is actually the same style of cooking, but the roasting method is different.
Sweet flower stuffed chicken is made by marinating chicken with sweet flowers, which adds a sweet taste to the chicken.
"You'll find out once you get there!" Gojo Satoru couldn't wait any longer.
This time, including Wendy, they all went to Mond together.
Because of Wendy's constant persuasion, they chose to land at the teleportation anchor point near the Dawn Winery.
Because Wendy wanted to go to the winery to buy some wine, Gojo Satoru generously promised to buy him a bottle of the best wine.
Aiko Gojo also wanted to make mulled wine because Wendy encouraged her to sell it in Mond.
"Wow - so many grapes!" Naruto was attracted by the huge vineyards surrounding the winery at first sight.
"I heard that grapes used for winemaking are not very tasty." Aiko Gojo forgot where she had seen this knowledge about winemaking. Although she didn't know whether it was true or false, after all, in this day and age anyone can write and publish a book, which means that the contents of the book cannot be fully trusted.
"Will it be very sour?" Sasuke felt that even if grapes were purely sweet or purely sour, they shouldn't be that unpalatable, right?
"I remember it had a higher sugar content." Aiko Gojo wasn't sure if higher sugar content meant sweeter, because she wasn't a professional and didn't dare to jump to conclusions.
Although if we understand it literally, higher sugar content definitely means sweeter, right?
She also remembered that the grapes used for winemaking described at the time not only had a higher sugar content, but were also smaller in size, had thick skins, and large cores. In short, they had the exact opposite characteristics of the delicious grapes that everyone hoped to eat.
"You've been standing here talking for so long, why don't you just pick a grape and taste it?"
A voice came from the side, and several people turned their heads and found a man with red hair and noble clothes.
"Hey, isn't this Master Diluk?" Wendy chuckled, "We won't just pick your grapes."
"Strictly speaking, these are the grapes from the Dawn Winery, not mine." Diluk looked at Gojo Aiko and the others, "So, what are you doing at the Dawn Winery?"
Although his Dawn Winery sounds like a wine shop, there are actually very few customers visiting on a regular basis, because it is enough for ordinary people to drink in pubs and there is no need to buy at the winery.
Caravans that want to sell the wines of Dawn Winery to other countries rarely pass through here frequently, as Dawn Winery already has some regular cooperative clients.
The winery's production volume is also limited, so they won't just look for new customers.
So normally there are very few people coming to Chenxi Winery.
"Hey, come on, let me introduce you to everyone!" Wendy introduced everyone present one by one.
The young and handsome Master Diluc in front of you is the owner of the Dawn Winery and the richest man in Mondstadt.
Their dandelion wine is considered a famous wine in Teyvat, but unfortunately the production is small and the price is high.
"Friends of Ying and Paimon?" Diluk did not comment on the identities of Gojo Aiko and the others.
In short, with the double protection of Wendy and Ying, these people should be fine.
"So, what kind of wine do you want to buy?" Diluk briefly introduced some wines from Dawn Winery to them.
In addition to the most well-known Dandelion Wine, the winery actually has many types of wines, but the output is very small.
"Can it be customized?" Aiko Gojo's eyes rolled and she had a new idea.
Diluk: "How would you like to customize it?"
"Can we make wine from fresh flowers?" Aiko Gojo wanted to make some wisteria wine.
“You can give it a try.” Diluk had tried to make wine from flowers before, but he always failed.
To be precise, the wine was brewed, but it didn't taste as good as I expected.
"Ai Zi, you must buy me a drink when the time comes!" Wendy said that he didn't mind and could take a sip of any wine.
Gojo Aiko first took out a pack of Qingxin and asked Diluk to try it first. If he succeeded in brewing it, he would take out the wisteria petals himself.
"Brewing wine with a clear mind... I always feel very leisurely." Wendy had a hunch that Zhongli would definitely like it, even though he seemed to rarely drink now.
"If we use the glass bags to brew wine, will it become medicinal wine?" Gojo Aiko took out another bag of glass bags. "This is very valuable. Whether it is used as a medicinal ingredient or a food ingredient, if it is brewed into wine, a bottle will be sold at a sky-high price, right?"
"Not necessarily, because you don't necessarily need so many raw materials when making wine." Diluk said that flower wine like this is generally not brewed entirely with flowers as the base.
It is basically brewed based on other wines, such as grape wine, dandelion wine, or rice wine.
"Can we make wine with milk? Or cream and butter?" Gojo Aiko looked at Diluk expectantly, "I want a drink like the one made with apples!"
"Okay, I can try, but I'm not sure if I can succeed." Diluk could only say that Gojo Aiko's imagination was really big.
"Hehe, there's also mulled wine! Aiko, you can cooperate with Master Diluk!" Venti suggested to Gojo Aiko with a wink.
