Zhang Zian muttered in his heart, why do the monkeys value these wild fruits so much? Or are there any hidden properties of these wild fruits, the kind that eating one can be worth three years of penance
He tried to use his internal energy... just felt like farting.
Probably it is indeed eating too much wild fruit.
"Tell them that the exchange is okay, but it has to be exchanged face to face, with one hand of money and one hand of goods, otherwise what should they do if they take the wild fruit and run away?" he said.
This meaning is difficult to express. It took a long time to make π gestures before the monkeys could barely understand.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The monkeys quarreled with each other for a while, and when they couldn't quarrel with each other, they fought directly, and finally reached a consensus under violence.
Pi was speechless.
The monkeys gestured to Zhang Zian and the others to signal them to follow, and then ran in one direction first.
Zhang Zian gave the elves a wink, and everyone followed along to see what weird things these monkeys were up to.
The monkeys stopped and walked, leading us to a pile of jagged rocks.
Femas and Farui sniffed at the same time, and said to Zhang Zian, "It seems...it smells like wine."
At this time, suddenly another monkey jumped up to the top of the pile of rocks.
This monkey is obviously not the same species as the other monkeys, it should be some kind of macaque. Its hairless face was slightly flushed, and it wobbled with a drunken look.
"Hi'er!" It belched loudly, its eyes fell on the wild fruit Zhang Zian was carrying, and it scratched its ears and cheeks with joy, "Fruit! Fruit! Ripe fruit!"
Zhang Zian and the elves were taken aback. This monkey can actually talk
It is obviously impossible for a monkey to speak, since it can speak...
He quickly took out his new phone, started the game capture interface and pointed it at it.
[Game Tips]: Target Confirmation—Wine Monkey.
Zhang Zian couldn't believe it, this was actually an elf
"Navigation elf, why didn't you remind me that the elf appeared?" He asked, wondering if the new version of the game didn't prompt
[Navigation Elf]: Sorry, when you are in the festival challenge, the game will not prompt the appearance and location of the elf, please use your ingenuity to find the elf. To compensate, the sprites that appear in the holiday challenges can be seen directly with the naked eye, without the need to go through the game capture interface.
He understood that if the game displayed the location of Jade Rabbit on the electronic map, then the Laurel Forest Maze would have no meaning. He could find Guanghan Palace and Jade Rabbit directly by referring to the electronic map.
The wine monkey stretched out his hand to him itchy, "Fruit! Fruit! Give me fruit!"
"What do you want fruit for?" he tried to ask.
"Wine! Delicious wine! Gudou Guduo! Hiccup!" It gestured to drink.
"You want to make wine out of fruit?"
Zhang Zian suddenly realized.
Since ancient times, people have rumored that monkeys can make wine. It is said that before the arrival of winter, monkeys will hide the collected wild fruits in tree holes or stone caves as food reserves for winter, but monkeys are playful by nature and often forget themselves. After one winter of fermentation, the wild fruits in Tibet become delicious wine, which is called "monkey wine".
There are many rumors about monkey wine. It is not known whether it is true or not. After all, few people have seen it with their own eyes, but monkeys do like drinking. This is well documented and easy to prove.
From a long time ago, Chinese and foreigners have known that wine can be used to lure monkeys to approach and catch them. They even put a jar of old wine in a place where monkeys come and go, and come back the next day, they will see lying on the ground drunk the monkey...
To make wine with wild fruit, it is best to use ripe wild fruit, which has high sugar content and is easy to breed yeast. Yeast will convert fructose into ethanol, that is, alcohol.
From the perspective of evolution and survival, drinking alcohol can speed up blood circulation. Alcohol itself is a high-calorie drink that can help monkeys survive the long and severe winter.
This... the wine monkey elf was obviously a drunkard, as if he was addicted to alcohol, fidgeting and scratching his ears and buttocks, begging Zhang Zian for the wild fruit in his hand pitifully.
Ripe wild fruits are very sweet and rich in sugar, and are rare in forests. Probably many herbivores like to eat this kind of wild fruits, and they are often eaten before they are ripe.
Under its leadership, other monkeys may also be addicted to alcohol to a certain extent, and they all found out the food they hid in the treetops between the rocks, such as various nuts or dried insects, and asked to exchange them with Zhang Zian food.
Zhang Zian is not Mr. Bei, he is not interested in those foods, so he thought for a while and said to him, "I want to inquire about something, if you can tell me, I will give you the fruit, and I don't need your food, how about it?" ?”
"Hi'er! What? What do you want to ask? You can exchange fruits for anything! Give me fruits!" The wine monkey rushed over impatiently, trying to reach out to grab his vest.
He hurriedly hid the vest with the wild fruit behind him, and at the same time winked at the elves, asking everyone to take care of it and prevent the monkeys from rushing up to snatch it, because this is the only condition that can be negotiated with the monkeys.
"Wait a minute, don't worry, as long as you can answer my question, all the fruit will be yours." He warned, "But don't try to make a wrong idea, because we are not easy to mess with."
"Hi'er! Ask! Quickly ask!" It burped again when it was close at hand, causing Zhang Zian to quickly turn his face away.
"What I want to ask is...is there a palace nearby? Is there a man with an ax to chop down trees, and an ugly woman?" he asked.
When a foreigner arrives for the first time and wants to find something, of course he has to ask the locals who are familiar with the situation.
The expression of resentment suddenly appeared on the wine monkey's face, "Hi'er! Man! Nasty man! Brew your own wine! Don't give it to us!"
Zhang Zian and the elves looked at each other and were overjoyed. The wine monkey really knew the location of Guanghan Palace, at least he knew where Wu Gang was.
Vladimir even blurted out: "Ask Wu Gang what he has, and Wu Gang holds out osmanthus wine!"
"Hi'er! The sweet-scented osmanthus wine... delicious!" The wine monkey salivated, squinted his eyes intoxicated, and licked his lips.
Zhang Zian asked again, "Can you lead us to find that annoying man?"
The wine monkey was noncommittal, and pointed to the wild fruit in his hand. It had already expressed enough sincerity, and it was time for him to fulfill his promise.
No matter how delicious the wild fruit is, it is just a wild fruit, and you will not die if you starve for a meal or two.
Zhang Zian generously handed the vest to it, "I mean what I say, so I'll give it to you."
"Burr! Fruit! Fruit! Overripe fruit!"
The wine monkey grabbed the vest and carried it on his shoulders. He quickly jumped back to the top of the pile of rocks, carefully removing a stone.
The aroma of wine is overflowing.
