It was not only the orcs ‘milk wine that did not use distillation, but the humans’ fruit wine did not use distillation either. This confused Zhao Hai. On the ark continent, most of the wine was fruit wine, while the orcs only used milk wine. There was no grain wine at all, which confused Zhao Hai.
The orcs loved wine, and this was related to their living environment. It was very cold in winter, and the other three seasons were not any better. They had to eat and sleep in the open every day to graze their livestock. The weather was constantly changing, and sometimes a bag of good wine could save their lives.
It was because of this that the orcs not only liked wine but also strong wine. However, there was no wine that was too strong on the continent, and they could make milk wine themselves without buying it, so they mainly used milk wine.
When Zhao Hai was on earth, he would drink some alcohol as well, but most of it was beer or white wine. He rarely drank fruit wine, so he couldn’t tell whether it was good or bad. However, white wine was good for him. It had a high alcohol content, and if it was brewed well, it wouldn’t get to his head. He wouldn’t have a headache the next day, so he liked it a lot.
However, on the ark continent, they could only drink some fruit wine, and it was not distilled. To be honest, it did not taste good.
Therefore, Zhao Hai had wanted to make wine for a long time. However, he didn’t know how to do it. Neither did green and the others. Although Laura’s subordinates had many abilities, they didn’t know how to make wine. If they only followed the method written in the book, they wouldn’t be able to make any good wine. Therefore, Zhao Hai had never tried to make wine.
But now, they had Ares and the others. Although they could not make grain wine, they could make milk wine. That was enough. Don’t forget that you could buy cows from Zhao Hai’s Ranch, and the milk produced by the cows was amazing.
Zhao Hai also wanted to try it out to see if he could make grain wine. He was producing more and more grain in his interspace. If he released all of it, it would have a huge impact on the grain market in the orc grassland. It would definitely attract everyone’s attention. If all the countries on the continent investigated him together and couldn’t find him, he would be in even more trouble. Therefore, he wanted to turn the grain into another form of commodity. And wine was undoubtedly the best choice.
Whether it was bamboo rice or corn, they were all excellent wine-making ingredients. After a simple distillation, the wine could be produced with more than 20% alcohol content. On the ark continent, such wine was definitely considered a high alcohol content, and the orcs would definitely like it.
Therefore, making wine was also on Zhao Hai’s agenda. However, there were still many difficulties. They were still mainly making milk wine, so Zhao Hai wanted to see how well it was made.
Now, Zhao Hai had 200 cows and 1000 sheep in his Qzone. He had milk and wool. He could really produce milk wine and milk products. He could also process wool products. He would not have to sell rabbit meat for gold coins like before.
However, these things required a long time to prepare. Zhao Hai and the others were not in a hurry. They had plenty of time anyway, so they could take their time.
Zhao Hai only needed four days to arrive. Since the carriage didn’t stop for a second, the undead creatures wouldn’t feel tired or bored, so he let them go.
As for the orc’s bull-drawn carriages, neither scaled horned horses nor wind-chasing horses were suitable for pulling them. In the end, Zhao Hai steeled his heart and turned the Bulls into undead creatures. This way, the Bulls could travel day and night.
To be honest, Zhao Hai’s heart ached at the thought of turning so many barbaric Bulls into undead creatures. Even if these barbaric Bulls were sold to the mainland, they would make a lot of money. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any way to sell these barbaric Bulls.
In the past few days, Zhao Hai would let Xue Ying out to see if there were any small tribes nearby. If there were, they would try to avoid them and not disturb the small tribes, because that would delay the time.
What Weyers needed the most right now was information on King Siqi, so Zhao Hai didn’t want to waste too much time on these small tribes. He decided to go around them.
Although Zhao Hai’s actions might make King XI Qi feel strange, no matter which direction they went to, they would encounter many small tribes. With the grain in Zhao Hai’s carriage, it should have been sold out long ago. It was impossible to pull it to his old camp. For a large tribe like theirs, they had their own relatively fixed grain merchants to buy grain. When those grain merchants delivered grain to them, their tribe’s war flag would be put on the carriage. It meant that this was food specially sent to that tribe to ensure the safety of the journey.
For people like Zhao Hai who didn’t work with a large tribe, their food would usually be bought or stolen by the smaller tribes. It was impossible for them to bring their food to the territory of a large tribe.
On the Prairie, the camp of each big tribe was like a market. Every month, there would be one day for human merchants to trade with those small tribes in the camp of the big tribe. Usually, those small tribes would rely on luck. If they met human merchants, it was considered that they had gone far and could buy what they wanted. If they didn’t meet human merchants, they could only wait for the trading day to buy what they wanted in the camp of the big tribe.
King Sichi’s camp was not considered a big camp among the orcs, but it was considered a medium-sized camp. Therefore, they also had a market here, but it only happened once every two months.
As a result, it was even more difficult for the small tribes living around King xichi’s camp to buy food. It was because of this that their desire to buy food was very strong. For example, if Zhao Hai’s fleet was not specifically transporting food for the big tribes, it would be impossible for them to safely transport food to King xichi’s camp. They would either be bought or robbed.
However, Zhao Hai had already prepared his speech. He could say that he had heard that there was a large tribe here, so he didn’t sell the grain. Instead, he was going to take it to King XI Qi as a sample.
After four days of non-stop traveling, Zhao Hai and the others were finally about to reach King Sichi’s camp. Zhao Hai and Laura had also returned to the plains from the iron Mountain fortress.
As soon as they reached the grassland, Zhao Hai opened the door of Lola’s carriage. Looking at the grassland outside, he suddenly smiled and said, ” “I feel like we haven’t been back in a long time? I suddenly feel like this grassland has become a lot more beautiful.”
Laura and the other girls all burst out into laughter. These days, they had been busy managing the plants in the iron Mountain castle. As the temperature in the blackearth wilderness had declined, they could not plant anything anymore. Therefore, they focused on the processing plants.
However, they had too few people, so they couldn’t set up all the processing plants. Zhao Hai wanted to set up a war grain processing plant, but he thought about it. Even if they could process the war grain, they couldn’t sell it. The orcs wouldn’t buy it, and the humans hadn’t opened their market yet. They could only make wool products so that they wouldn’t have to kill the sheep.
But now, they had a better choice, milk wine. Although the orcs made milk wine themselves, they usually made goat’s milk wine, which was incomparable to the milk made by Zhao Hai. Most importantly, his milk wine had been distilled, so it would definitely taste better than the milk made by the orcs.
Of course, in Zhao Hai’s eyes, this milk wine was only a low-end product. However, he could still exchange it for many good things from the orcs. After all, the orcs also liked to drink good milk wine.
The convoy soon entered the territory of King XI Qi’s camp. From where they were, they could already see King XI Qi’s camp. The camp was really big. At a glance, it was full of white round tents. There were many people moving around in the middle. Zhao Hai estimated that the entire camp had no less than 100000 people.
At this moment, a group of cavalrymen rushed out of the camp. Their hooves rumbled, and they arrived in front of Zhao Hai’s carriage in a short while. They probably saw the two friendship flags on Zhao Hai’s carriage, so the cavalrymen slowed down and looked at Zhao Hai’s carriage suspiciously.
Zhao Hai quickly came out of the carriage and bowed to the cavalryman. &Quot; “Respected warrior, we are merchants from the human race. May I ask if this is the camp of King XI Qi of the bullfighting race?”
The bullfighting race Knight saw Zhao Hai’s politeness and quickly said,”Hello, human friends, this is King XI Qi’s camp. What can I do for you?”
“Respected warrior, I’m a merchant. Of course I’m here to trade with King XI Qi. It’s a very important trade.” Zhao Hai quickly said.
The Knight did not find it strange. From time to time, human merchants would come to their camp for trade. It was nothing special. He glanced at the grain carriage beside Zhao Hai and said,”Human friend, of course we welcome you to trade, but you don’t seem to have much food?”
&Nbsp; Zhao Hai quickly smiled, ” respected warrior, don’t worry. These grains are just samples. As long as you agree to the deal, I will send more over. &Quot;
“Very well then, human friend, please follow me.” The Knight nodded. Then, he led Zhao Hai and the others into the camp.
In order to avoid any misunderstandings, Zhao Hai had already collected all the undead creatures of the giant horned wild ox tribe. Now, there wasn’t a single Beastman undead in his caravan. It looked like an ordinary human caravan.
Zhao Hai and the others followed the cavalrymen into the campsite. They immediately realized the difference between the campsite and the smaller tribes. It was not about the size of the campsite. For such a large tribe, the campsite had to be big. What Zhao Hai meant was the attitude of the people here.
