Super Zoo

When Suming arrived at Zhao Yun's place, he handed over a thick document. Suming opened it to find dozens of pages, all in English, filled with chemical formulas and a variety of strange symbols. Your next chapter awaits on empire

"I can't understand any of this!" Suming tossed the document aside and said, "Mr. Zhao, just give me a simple explanation. Is there anything harmful in this water or not?"

"Harmful? You asked for my help in assessing it because you were afraid the water contained pathogens, right?" Zhao Yun nodded and then added, "Well, I can responsibly tell you that according to these test results, the water you provided indeed contains many trace elements and types of bacteria, but there is nothing harmful about them, at least not with the current medical technology we have. It's completely harmless. Moreover, due to the presence of..."

Zhao Yun rattled off a bunch of technical terms. Although Suming majored in biology and had a slight connection to the field, he hadn't touched professional knowledge for a long time and was entirely confused by the jargon. Finally, Zhao Yun clarified, "To put it simply, this water is extremely beneficial for most animals, including humans. It's rich in various nutrients, and drinking it over the long term can enhance physical fitness, boost immunity, and even extend life..."

"This sounds like a medical advertisement..." Suming scratched his head and laughed.

"What do you think medicine is? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, water, plants, animals, and even minerals can all be used as medicine because they contain various elements. If a substance contains very special elements, that's what legends refer to as a miraculous medicine. For example, millennium ginseng can even sustain the life of a dying person. Your water has a high nutritional value, so in some ways, it can also be considered a type of medicine, although of course, it doesn't have the efficacy to cure any specific diseases."

"So can I consider this water to be super mineral water?" Suming asked.

"That's one way to put it. Anyway, if you plan to process it into mineral water, it would definitely sell better than any famous mineral water brand in the country!"

Produce mineral water? Suming thought about it and decided to pass. The annual production of a mineral water plant was not as simple as a few hundred thousand or a few million bottles. "Monkey King" couldn't produce that much water, and its influence diminished with distance from it. The farther away from "Monkey King," the weaker the effects. The water he provided to Zhao Yun for testing came from Shuixie Lake, where the "Monkey King" resided. However, at Shuijun Lake, Suming himself could feel that the water's effects were markedly reduced.

As long as he could confirm that this water was indeed beneficial and harmless, there would be no problem. It could be used for fish farming as well as personal consumption, and there would be many uses for it in the future.

"There's one thing I'd still like to ask, but of course, if you don't want to say, it's alright," Zhao Yun couldn't resist asking, "Where does this water come from? As far as I know, even the top tier water sources in various countries don't match the quality of this water."

Suming thought about it and replied, "Would you believe me if I said I discovered an underground spring in Shuixie Lake?"

Zhao Yun, seasoned by his experiences in society, knew from Suming's response that he didn't want to reveal the source. Zhao laughed and said, "I was impertinent to ask that. It's your business where the water comes from. What I mean to ask is, could you supply a certain amount of this water on a regular basis?"

"I should be able to. What exactly do you need it for?" Suming asked, puzzled. Did Zhao Yun really want to make a living selling water? That would be quite sad.

Zhao Yun chuckled and said, "Since you have such high-quality water, it would be a waste not to use it. If you're willing, we could start a distillery. Of course, we'd need a steady supply of water."

Start a distillery? Suming immediately realized this might be feasible. Unlike a mineral water plant, a distillery didn't require a tremendous amount of water. Based on the current capacity of "Monkey King" to produce water, it should be able to support a small distillery.

"How much water would be needed each month?" Suming inquired.

"Given the quality of the water you've provided, it can be used diluted, so the quantity needed won't be extravagant. Strictly speaking, your water would be used as an additive, not the main ingredient. The specifics would have to be determined by professionals who plan the distillery and its scale. But I estimate that throughout a year, a few dozen tons of this water will be needed," Zhao Yun said.

A few dozen tons would not be a problem. The water in Shuixie Lake alone far exceeded that weight. With "Monkey King" replenishing the lake over a year, there would be more than enough water for both fish farming and brewing.

"As long as you can commit to supplying roughly this amount of water, I'll start arranging the plan for setting up the distillery," Zhao Yun emphasized, ensuring that the water supply would be steady. He didn't want to have everything else ready only to find that Suming couldn't provide enough water.

Liquor was a profitable industry, but with so many high-quality liquors already on the market, an unknown small distillery would need something unique to make its mark and profit. If Suming couldn't provide enough high-quality water and could only produce ordinary liquor, there would be no point in establishing the distillery.

"Don't worry, it's no problem," Suming nodded and then asked, "But what kind of liquor will we be brewing? Baijiu, fruit wine, or something else?"

"If we don't have a particularly good recipe, then baijiu is a safe choice," Zhao Yun joked casually, "Of course, if you could get the Monkey Wine recipe, that would be the best. We could definitely make a fortune!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than both men were struck with a realization and stared at each other!

"Hey, yeah, why not make Monkey Wine?" Zhao Yun slapped his thigh, "Even if it's not brewed by monkeys, using the high-quality water you provide, the fruit wine produced will definitely be much better than what's available on the market! And since you have a say in the zoo, you could absolutely assign a few monkeys to the distillery, put on a bit of a show, create a marketing gimmick!

Zhao Yun had his idea, but Suming was thinking a step further. As for the formula for Monkey Wine, the "Monkey King" knew how to brew it. All he had to do was watch the "Monkey King" brew the wine next time, record how many and which types of fruits were used, what processes were needed, and how long it took. Even if the result wasn't exactly like the authentic Monkey Wine, it would unquestionably be very close.

And Zhao Yun's suggestion was excellent. If he brought a few monkeys to the distillery, either to pretend to be brewing or even to actually brew, the promotional effect would be explosive!

"I think that's more than okay!" Suming gave a thumbs up, "Anyway, the distillery won't be settled right away. When I get back, I'll find time to train the monkeys!"

"Haha, I've even thought of the name for the liquor: Yangchuan Dasheng Distillery," said Zhao Yun.
