Chapter 31: Cooking Wine(1/2)
Lee Seung-hwa was stunned when he heard Fang Yiai say, "Give each one a jar of wine first!"
When Li Chenghua heard Fang Yiai say this, he felt relieved instantly.
This means that the so-called white wine is definitely not a high-level wine.
Otherwise, if there were a jar each, everyone here would be drunk to death.
It didn’t take long, and the so-called [white wine] came first.
Dr. Liquor was Kaifeng, and used a wooden spoon to scoop out the wine and pour it into the wine bowl.
Li Chenghua looked at it and said dizzyly: "This... is this too much wine?"
It’s not that Lee Seung-hwa was surprised, because this [wine] is really a bit ugly.
I saw a light green liquid in the wine bowl!
Not only is it turbid and unclear, but there is also a layer of fine white floating objects floating on it?
The wine doctor was confused and said, "This... this young master, of course this is wine."
"Why does it feel so crappy?"
Lee Seung-hua shook his head, then picked up the wine and smelled it - let alone, there was really a little smell of wine!
However, in addition to the smell of wine, how could there be a clear rancid taste?"
Cheng Chuxue was so surprised to see Lee Seung-hua?
She whispered: "Chenghua, this is called [turbid wine], also called [green ant wine]. Well, many people usually drink this wine."
Lee Seung-hwa said in surprise: "Ah, is this just a public wine?"
"Green ant fresh wine, red mud stove. It's snowing in the evening, can you drink a glass of wine?"
Li Chenghua shook his head, it turned out that this is what is called [Green Ant Wine]?
Cheng Chuxue's beautiful eyes lit up and said, "Chenghua's literary talent is so good!"
Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Brother, your poem is too sarcastic. Are there any more bold ones?"
"You are so bold!"
He gave Cheng Chumo a blank look, and Li Chenghua smiled and said, "Of course there are bold people! For example...
A cup of turbid wine is a thousand miles away, and Yanran has no choice but to return. The Qiang pipes are covered with frost!"
"Okay, haha, this poem is powerful."
Cheng Chumo laughed, picked up a bowl of wine and said, "Brother, I wish you!"
Lee Seung-hwa frowned and waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll still drink this kind of wine. It seems that this wine is okay."
Li Chenghua said while watching Cheng Chuxue.
Cheng Chuxue understood it and tasted the three wines in front of him.
Then, she pointed to one of them and kept nodding, "Good wine, this is the best wine in Gaochang!
These two types should also be brewed from Gaochang, but the quality is average."
"Is that so? I'll give it a try!"
Next, after tasting, Li Chenghua also exclaimed: "Not bad!
Although it is a bit sour with tannins? It is already a good wine!"
Put down the somewhat simple ceramic cup in your hand?
Li Chengtian subconsciously said again: "Hey, the luminous glass of grape wine! Unfortunately, this cup is wrong."
When Cheng Chuxue heard this, his eyes lit up again: "Grape wine luminous cup? What a good word? But why is there only one sentence?"
Li Chenghua waved his hand and said, "Just this sentence is also inspired. I am here to drink, not to pretend to write poetry..."
Cheng Chumo suddenly asked, "Brother, have you seen the luminous cup? Isn't it very valuable?"
Before Li Chenghua could speak, Cheng Chuxue sucked directly and said angrily: "Shut up!
Chenghua and I are discussing poetry, songs, you come here to burn the piano and cook the crane, and say whether the luminous cup is valuable?"
“…”
Seeing Cheng Chuxue suddenly showing [violence]? Li Chenghua was a little stupid!
Cheng Chumo shrank his neck and muttered, "Sister, there's someone, are you still hitting me?"
Cheng Chuxue also came to her senses at this moment, and then she smiled at Li Chenghua and said, "Sorry, Chenghua, I'm used to it at home..."
Li Chenghua nodded: "Oh, understand! You will have habits.
It’s like being an auto mechanic – you always have to carry a hammer on your body!”
"Agitated...annoyed the repairman?"
Cheng Chuxue blinked, not sure why.
At this moment, Lee Seung-hwa quickly changed the topic and said, "It's good to have a snowfall, please introduce you to other bars!"
Cheng Chuxue nodded and said, "Okay!
What we just mentioned is just a drink of [turbid wine].
There are better wines in this restaurant.”
“There’s something better?”
Lee Seung-hua asked, "Then, how did this kind of wine be made? How can it be refined into better wine?"
Cheng Chuxue smiled and said, "If you want to be good, there are six steps in total!"
Lee Seung-hua smiled and said, "You are a woman, but you know how to make wine?"
Cheng Chuxue nodded and said, "My father loves to drink and brew wine! I have watched too much since I was a child, so I will naturally know it."
Li Chenghua smiled and said, "Haha, it suddenly reminded me of the oil seller - but I am familiar with it!"
"Oil seller? What does it mean!"
Everyone present was confused and couldn't figure out what the hell was.
Lee Seung-hua waved his hand and said, "Don't care about these details! Let's talk about the brewing process of this wine."
Li Chenghua needs to know the winemaking process in the Tang Dynasty.
Then, compare it with the 21st century craftsmanship.
At this moment, Cheng Chumo said in front of Cheng Chuxue: "Brother, the first few steps of making wine are very simple!
The first step is to make wine chorus.
Use japonica rice or millet, mix it with wine and medicine, ferment it with hot water and then hang it on the stove and smoke it..."
Lee Seung-hua looked at Cheng Chuxue.
Cheng Chuxue nodded and said, "It's almost that."
Cheng Chumo was praised by his sister and laughed proudly.
Niu Jianhu said unconvincedly: "Who doesn't understand this? Let me tell you the second step!
The second step is to pour the material. Brush the jar of the big wine and pour the wine chorus, rice and water into it!
Alas, I do all these things in my house.”
Li Chenghua rolled his eyes and said, "You guys are light-hearted.
So how much wine koji is needed? How much rice is it? How much water is there? There must be a ratio?"
"this……"
When Niu saw the tiger, his face turned red and he couldn't say it.
Cheng Chuxue smiled and added: "The ratio? It's about 10% of the wine koji, and the ratio of rice and water is equivalent.
If you want to make a rich wine, just add less water and more wine koji and rice.”
Li Chenghua nodded and said, "So that's it? What about the third step?"
Cheng Chumo immediately rushed to say, "The third step is to open the hall.
After the wine koji, rice, and water fermented in the jar and turned into wine, you can open a jar to eat wine!"
Li Chenghua said speechlessly for a while: "How long will it take to ferment? How many days?"
“…”
Cheng Chumo was immediately stunned.
Cheng Chuxue explained at this time: "The length of fermentation is related to the quality of the wine.
If you can't wait, you can barely drink it in seven or eight days.
However, the wine poured out at this time is what you see at this moment!"
