Half an hour later, several jars of different wines, both large and small, appeared on the table.

Among these wines were wheat wine and fruit wine, all brewed during the snow season.

Some had even been brewed earlier, before the snow season had arrived.

“Shaman, there are four types of wine in total, and we’ve brought them all over.” Yu Ying said expectantly.

Yu Ying had long wanted to try what they tasted like, but they had never finished brewing properly, so she had not had the chance to taste them.

However, she still kept thinking about them in her heart. After all, she had heard at the time that they were delicious.

“Good, pour out a little of each. Everyone try the taste and see which type is more palatable for you.” Su Bai instructed.

He wanted to know how people of this era felt about drinking alcohol and what their level of acceptance was, since people of the Primitive Era did not know what this was.

“Okay,” Yu Ying took out several cups, poured a little from each, and continued, “Shaman, please try first.”

“Sure.” Su Bai first picked up the wine brewed from wheat and brought it to his nose to smell the aroma.

Afterwards, he carefully observed the clarity of the wine, swirled it a few times, then took a sip.

Upon entering his mouth, there was a slight bitter astringency, though only a little, which was then replaced by a strong alcoholic flavour.

In his mouth there was a wheat-like sensation, but this feeling was fleeting, replaced instead by a faint wine fragrance.

Overall, he felt this wine was passable. Although it had not reached the level of deliciousness of wheat wine from Earth, it was still considered a decent wine for this era.

“Shaman, how does it taste? Was the brewing successful?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

“The brewing was successful. You all try it and give me your opinions.” Su Bai gently raised his hand.

“Okay.” The girls all nodded and picked up the cups in front of them, beginning to take small sips.

Just as they swallowed what they had tasted, all the girls’ expressions wrinkled up, looking as if they had eaten something unpalatable.

“Haha… look at your face.” Su Bai laughed heartily and asked, “What? Is it that bad?”

Yan Hua composed the expression on her face, put down her cup and said. “Shaman, is this drink called wine?”

Yan Hua felt terrible all over, discovering it was like eating a bitter fruit. It was bitter and gave a strange sensation.

“Shaman, why is wine so bitter? This is awful, it’s not as good as drinking tea.” Sha Lan’s cat tail drooped down. She had wanted to spit it out when she first drank it. It was that awful.

“Shaman, I never expected that wine brewed from such delicious wheat would taste so awful…” Yu Ying felt her head spinning.

Yu Ying was the honest type who had taken a big gulp when drinking the wine, so she was a bit overwhelmed all at once.

“Haha… I knew you would find it a little hard to accept,” Su Bai laughed and continued, “As for wine, it’s an acquired taste. Those who like it will really like it, and those who don’t like it will really dislike it.”

He had actually anticipated the girls’ reactions. After all, alcoholic drinks were not something everyone liked. For many occasional drinkers, they just did it for fun. If a person asked whether they liked the taste, most would be neutral about it, that some other drinks taste better.

“Shaman, will many people like this? I’m worried that no one will want to trade for them.” Yu Ying was a bit concerned.

After all, the quantity of wheat wine brewed during the snow season was quite substantial. If it turned out to be unpopular later, it would be quite a pity.

Using so much wheat to brew wine, if it could not be traded away and just piled up in the Tribe with no one wanting to drink it… What a waste that would be.

“That’s not necessarily the case. Didn’t you smell the fragrance of the wheat wine?” Su Bai asked.

When he had just held that cup of wine to his nose to smell, he had taken in the fragrant aroma.

Because nothing much had been added, it was purely the fragrance of wheat. If people who liked drinking alcohol smelled this aroma, they definitely would not be able to resist.

“There is a fragrant smell. I was just deceived by this smell,” Yu Ying pouted.

Yu Ying had drunk a big gulp precisely because she had smelled this fragrance.

“Although the fragrance might make people come over to take a look, they definitely won’t trade after trying it.” Yan Hua speculated.

Yan Hua thought the fragrance was nice, but the taste was deceiving.

“How about this? Let’s have more people try it. Go fetch the Chieftain, Cang Shi and a few more. Perhaps they’ll like it.” Su Bai wanted to find more people.

Currently, all those trying the wheat wine were these few girls. Perhaps they merely did not like it. Maybe the males might like it more?

“Understood.” Yu Ying nodded and turned to have the servants notify people.

*Step step step…*

More than half an hour later, Yan Jiao and the others received the command and rushed to the second floor of the Yong’an Building.

“Shaman, we heard you wanted us to come try wine?” Yan Jiao said puzzledly.

He had heard something about wheat wine at the time. This was naturally what Yan Hua had told him. Otherwise, not being in the Yong’an Building, he would rarely know about these matters.

“En, I’ve poured some for all of you. Try it and tell me how it is.” Su Bai raised his hand. Several cups were placed on the table.

“Of course,” Yan Jiao was not quite sure what it was, and had all the others pick up a cup and begin tasting.

Su Bai continued to pick up his cup and sip the wine. It had been a long time since he had drunk alcohol, and this was all brewed by himself.

“Shaman, how can this thing taste so good?” Yan Jiao’s red eyes immediately widened.

The Chieftain was drinking this thing for the first time. He had just smelled the fragrance and found it very aromatic. However, he dared not drink too much, only taking a small sip. However, even a small sip tasted very fragrant.

“I like this. This thing is really delicious.” Cang Shi also praised it endlessly, promptly finishing all the remaining wine in his cup.

“This is really good stuff. This is made from the wheat we eat?” Qing Yan felt it was incredible.

He never expected that the wheat porridge he had previously been fortunate enough to eat could be brewed into something this delicious.

“Really?” Su Bai was rather surprised by these polarising reviews. Their opinion was on the complete other end of the spectrum.

“Really good.” Everyone nodded without hesitation.
