The next morning.
After Chen Lun got up, he felt a little sluggish.
"I worked too hard last night, and my back and waist are sore..."
He yawned and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When I looked in the mirror, I found that my handsomeness score had slightly decreased by one.
This is not good...
"Even with the increased sanity recovery from Maggie's Tears, my brain still can't handle it..."
Last night he tried to "recharge the sanity" of Maggie's statue, but in order to avoid the adverse reaction after the sanity was halved, he only stored 10 points each time.
This way, with his upper limit of 25 sanity points, he can ensure that no major problems will arise.
But I didn't expect that after three rounds, it was already late at night and I felt a little dazed.
This reminded Chen Lun that even if his sanity was not reduced by more than half, frequent loss of sanity would cause the brain to become tired and uncomfortable.
"It seems that we can only do it once a night. If we do it too much, we will not be able to bear it... People should know how to control themselves and know when to stop."
He sighed and shook his head slightly.
"This work is hard, tiring, and inefficient... But it's still a long way from the public beta, so I can only rely on myself to slowly charge Maggie's statue."
Chen Lun thought about it and couldn't help but look forward to the public beta.
There are players who are like "mobile batteries". When the time comes, you should be too efficient in draining their sanity.
After washing up, Chen Lun went downstairs to have breakfast and then returned to his room.
He sat by the window and read quietly.
He flipped through the four mysterious books one by one. Although his purpose was to gain experience points and points, the contents also made Chen Lun very interested.
There was no substantial gain from reading it carefully, but it allowed him to have a deeper understanding of these four factions and even the entire mysterious field.
As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even though Chen Lun has accumulated knowledge from his previous life, he still feels that he only knows the tip of the iceberg of this world.
The road ahead is still very long.
Wow…
The only sound in the quiet room was the occasional sound of flipping pages.
Time passed quickly and it was already noon.
Connie knocked on the door and told Chen Lun that it was time for lunch.
Only then did Chen Lun close the books and put them away.
When I went downstairs with Connie, she said that the brewing equipment had been delivered and was temporarily placed in the courtyard.
This news made Chen Lun happy.
"Mr. Jack, are you going to make some wine?"
Connie asked curiously.
"Well... Don't you think it's a very fulfilling thing to brew a bottle of fine wine yourself and let everyone enjoy it, Connie?"
Chen Lun replied with a chuckle.
"Just like Miss Floin loves cooking, she will also show a satisfied expression every time she sees your smile while eating."
Connie whispered.
Chen Lun was slightly stunned, then smiled.
He and Connie walked down the wooden steps, raised his hand and pointed downward.
"The villa also has a large basement, which cannot be wasted. It can be used as a wine cellar."
"That's true, Mr. Jack."
Connie smiled back.
"I'm really looking forward to the delicious wine you brew yourself. Can I have a taste of it then?"
Her eyes were full of anticipation.
Chen Lun chuckled.
"certainly."
He then added:
"You may need to be responsible for the sales of the wine you brew in the future. How can you judge whether it is good or not if you don't taste it yourself?"
“Ah, is that so…?!”
Connie was very surprised.
“Jack Manor will become a famous winery in the future…!”

After lunch, Chen Lun asked his "servants" to move the brewing equipment to the basement.
These peripheral members of the circus were strong and healthy, and they completed the task without much effort.
Chen Lun also arranged people to clean up the basement in advance. They only needed to put the equipment in place and start brewing wine.
After everyone else left, Chen Lun looked at his brewing room and nodded with satisfaction.
Although it was not exquisite or beautiful, and could even be said to be a bit crude, it was enough for him.
An incandescent lamp hung on one side of the wall, emitting a dim light.
Chen Lun stood beside the workbench and smiled gently.
"It's my first time, so let's do a simple test."
He first turned on the faucet and washed his hands. Then he picked up two pieces of ginger and rubbed them lightly with his fingers to remove the skin.
With a little force in his hands, the two pieces of ginger turned into paste and were thrown into the glass jar he had prepared in advance.
"Add water, sugar and lemon zest..."
Chen Lun's hands moved very quickly. His mind had already given him a lot of knowledge and steps in advance. With his extraordinary coordination ability, he moved as accurately as a machine.
What he planned to brew was the most popular drink of the era, ginger beer.
Cheap and tasty.
The most important raw materials, such as ginger, lemon and yeast, are available at any grocery store, and basically every household can brew this kind of beer.
If you go to a place like the outer city, where the water supply in many neighborhoods may not be sanitary, drinking this kind of light beer becomes an important thing.
At the very least, you won’t get sick easily.
"The lemon peel cannot have white flesh, otherwise the taste will be slightly bitter..."
Chen Lun cut the lemon peel and put it into a glass jar. He then spread a layer of yeast paste on a piece of toasted bread and finally placed it gently on the surface of the wine.
Bang.
He closed the jar.
The whole process took less than ten minutes. Chen Lun looked at the jar of wine on the table, resting his chin on his hand and thinking.
"According to the original brewing process, it needs to be fermented for two or three days, which takes too long..."
Chen Lun stretched out a hand and gently placed it on the glass jar, and an invisible force began to emanate.
“But winemakers can speed up the fermentation process…”
Soon, the originally clear wine in the glass jar began to become turbid, and tiny bubbles began to emerge.
It was as if the accelerator key was pressed, and in a moment, the can of ginger beer was ready.
“If you let the wine ferment naturally, a bottle of the most common red wine will take more than four months, and a slightly better one will take a year… It takes too long.”
Chen Lun withdrew his hand and sighed.
He chose to stop the fermentation because if it continued, the alcohol content of the can of ginger beer would exceed the standard and it would deviate from its original positioning.
From a refreshing light beer drink, it turned into a strong liquor.
Chen Lun then filtered out the impurities in the glass jar, bottled half of it, and poured the other half into a new glass jar.
"Save this ordinary bottle for dinner."
Chen Lun wiped the wine bottle with a clean rag and gently put it aside.
Then he looked at the remaining half of the wine.
"Now that's where the bloody brew comes into play..."
He took out two extraordinary materials from the panel, one was walking fish meat, and the other was walking fish fins.
Although in the fairyland, the walking fish is an extraordinary creature that has been mysteriously contaminated, the materials left behind after death can be used normally... as if they have been purified invisibly.
Chen Lun couldn’t find the reason for this for the time being, but he guessed that it might be related to the mechanism of the fairyland itself.
He put the two extraordinary materials into the glass jar, then activated the winemaker's ability, and his palms seemed to emit invisible energy fluctuations.
The extraordinary material, which originally had a somewhat strange appearance, quickly melted away and was completely integrated into the wine, as if it had never appeared.
After the secondary fermentation, the wine becomes a darker milky yellow in color.
After a while.
Chen Lun opened the glass jar and a strange aroma of wine wafted out, which lifted his spirits.
Extraordinary Wine-Unnamed
Item description: A liquor that contains a hint of deep sea power. It seems to be brewed from ordinary ginger beer with extraordinary materials added.
Item Effect: Can slightly increase water pressure resistance, increase lung capacity and learn swimming for a short period of time, and can slightly increase skin gloss and moisture.
"Um… "
Chen Lun looked at the jar of wine and shrugged.
"It's of little use in combat, but it has some commercial value... It's a pity that it can't be mass-produced."
Although the scene in the wonderland is always a dark forest, the dangers and opportunities encountered therein are different, and there is no guarantee that you will encounter that pool of water again next time.
Even if he encountered it, Chen Lun didn't plan to take the risk himself.
After all, the unknown monster under the pool gives people a really terrifying feeling.
"Just treat it as a beauty drink and give it to Flo Yin and Connie to try..."
Chen Lun began to bottle the extraordinary wine in the glass jar, planning his next winemaking plan in his mind.
"Bloody craft brewing cannot guarantee the effect of brewing fine wine. It is a bit random, and of course it is directly related to the extraordinary materials added... Next time, I will start brewing red wine. After all, that stuff is the mainstream high-end wine of this era."
