Did this kid give birth to a dog's nose?

The old man surnamed Cai panicked in his heart, and quickly covered the wine gourd, as if he would suffer a big loss if Zhou Dong sniffed a few more sips of wine.

"Where the water of winemaking, the river water is the best, the Ganjing near the river is second, and the mountain spring water is again.

It is recorded in the "Qi Min Yao Shu": "The so-called water collection method, the river water is the best, for koji, soak koji, cook, brew, everything uses river water." The house without hand power is to use the ears of the water of the well. ’”

Zhou Dong glanced at the old man surnamed Cai: "Old Cai, if I didn't make a mistake in judgment, this gourd should be brewed with the water of the Yellow River, right?"

Before the old man surnamed Cai could reply, Lu Luxin couldn't help but interject: "Zhou Dong, you think clearly, after all, "Qi Min's Technique" is a book more than a thousand years ago, is it still appropriate?"

Maybe at that time, it was difficult to take mountain springs, and it was easy to take river water.

It doesn't make sense that the sweet and clear mountain spring water is not as good as the water of the Yellow River?"

She's only a chef, not a winemaker, after all, and she's also a girl who loves to snack on the sofa with a ragwore behind closed doors.

All the girls in the world are afraid that when they talk about the Yellow River, they will think of the rolling yellow soup under the mud and sand, and when they talk about mountain springs, they will think of fish swimming and breeding in the crystal clear spring water.

It is indeed a little difficult for the girl to accept that the river water is better than the mountain spring water.

The old man surnamed Cai smiled and looked at Zhou Dong, obviously to listen to how he explained.

In his life, he has studied two dishes, "drinking" and "eating", and his preference for wine even exceeds that of various delicacies.

'King of Zhou' is just that, and the name of 'Zhou Bacchus' makes him very angry.

Otherwise, he would not bear to cut his love, and take out the same 'shake light' as a baby to test Zhou Dong to see if his 'Bacchus' is exaggerated!

Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "Lu Anvil doesn't know anything.

Not only "Qi Min's Technique", the Qing Dynasty's imperial wine master Ma Shiqing once wrote "Water Talk", and the original manuscript is in my hands.

The "Water Theory" also has a detailed explanation of the world's famous water, clearly stating that river water has been the best water for brewing since ancient times, far exceeding the Ganjing water and various mountain spring water near the river......

Lu Anvil, think about it, where are all the famous wines in my country come from?"

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Among them, the most famous top brands, eighty or ninety percent are located near the Huanghuai Wine Belt and the Yangtze River Chishui Zunyi.

Huanghuai liquor belt, there are Song River, Kouzi, Yanghe three blue......

The tributaries of the Chishui River of the Yangtze River have several famous 'golden flowers', Wuliangye, Luzhou, Langjiu, Mianzhu, Jiannanchun, Moutai, Dongjiu......

When have you ever heard that Moutai is brewed by a certain mountain spring?

Lu Luxin was a little unconvinced: "I don't want to believe that there is no famous wine brewed with well water and mountain spring water." ”

"Yes, of course there ......"

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Langjiu, Gujinggong, Jiannanchun, Yanghe......

In fact, there are many brands that are using spring water or well water.

However, these springs and wells are not really independent mountain springs and groundwater wells.

Rather, it is the 'springs' and 'wells' near the river and the river, and these springs and wells are actually made of river water or river water, and to put it bluntly, they actually use river water!

Although it has been filtered by strata, the quality exceeds that of riverside water and riverside water, but it is far inferior to the water of 'river center' and 'river center'. ”

The old man surnamed Cai smiled: "What does Xiaoyou think is the reason?"

From the beginning of the King of Zhou Mian, Zhou Bacchus to Zhou Xiaozi, now they are all called 'Little Friends',

Zhu Yanping quietly glanced at the old man surnamed Cai, and smiled secretly in his heart, this diligent old man has unknowingly put Zhou Dong in an equal position with himself, Brother Zhou is amazing.

"Hehe, Cai Lao is deliberately testing me? Then I'll talk about it......

The way of sake brewing begins with koji, and after koji, the water used in the fermentation process becomes very important.

The various components contained in brewing water are closely related to the growth of beneficial microorganisms, the formation and action of enzymes, and the fermentation of mash or mash until the quality of the finished wine.

If the water quality is poor, the various components contained in the water are not rich enough, or too rich, it will cause the fermentation of brewing grains to be sluggish, the growth of koji mold is slow, the temperature of koji rises slowly, the growth of yeast is poor, and the formation of aroma-producing substances is affected, and even the astringency and bitterness of the taste, odor, discoloration, precipitation and other phenomena will occur.

The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are the two long-standing mother rivers in China.

Along the way, through a variety of terrain and landforms, not only the pure water of the snow-capped mountains is integrated, but also countless spring veins along the way, which are hard or soft, containing various elements.

Therefore, if you want to compare whether the water quality is rich in components, how can those independent mountain springs or independent groundwater wells compare with the Yellow River and the Yangtze River?

That's why those independent springs and independent groundwater wells can't support a famous wine brand!"

"Lao Zhou, this guy turned out to be really good, when it comes to distinguishing water and brewing, I'm really not as good as him......"

Huai Liangren sighed in his heart when he heard this, and suddenly felt a little lucky, fortunately, the Xiangjiang Food Competition is not as good as teaching students and not as good as winemaking, otherwise he would not have lost?

However, the sister was careful, and Lu Luxin quickly grasped the point: "No, according to what you said, it is not good if the ingredients contained in the water are too rich, is there no problem in the water of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River?"

"It is precisely because of this aspect that some brewing masters and winemaking companies throughout the ages have gone through countless attempts to find the most suitable waters for winemaking.

The Yangtze River runs through the east and west of China, but why are several famous wines in Chishui and Zunyi?

This is because if you don't go to this area, there are not enough ingredients in the water! After this area, the water is too rich in ingredients, and only such a section of the river can be famous!"

Zhou Dong thought for a while and said: "And as far as this river area is concerned, the best one has to be said to be 'Jiang Xinshui'."

However, it is difficult to take Jiangxinshui, not only requires an experienced master, but also a set of ancient water intake utensils, which is not only troublesome to operate, but also very expensive, so even if it is an old enterprise such as Moutai and Wuliangye, only a very small part of the wine is brewed with the real 'Jiangxinshui' every year, which is a treasure that money may not be able to buy.

And the sake they mass-produced was only taken from the water in the 'Omi Spring' or 'Omikai', as recorded in the "Qi Min Yaoshu": "The house without hand power uses Ganjing water ear." ’

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Cai couldn't help but applaud and laugh: "Well said! Xiaoyou is really one of my generation!"

But my old man also wants to ask Xiaoyou, can you judge which section of the Yellow River this gourd 'shakes the light'?"

Zhou Dong looked at him: "Old Cai, you don't make sense,

It is not easy to judge that this gourd is brewed with the water of the Yellow River based on the aroma of the wine, and you also want me to tell which section of water it is?

I'll have to take a sip of it, or I'll be out of the way!"
