Walking into the room where Quwo was placed, Zhou Dong was very satisfied.

Li Xiuchen cleaned this room very cleanly, and there was even a trace of wet marks on the ground, which seemed to have been cleaned just before he came.

Once the koji enters the dimple, it has high requirements for the storage environment, and if the environment is not hygienic, mold may grow, which will definitely affect the taste of the finished sake.

When you open the nest, there is a faint aroma of wine.

"Huh?"

Lingyin Temple is not a law sect, even the Shamen disciples in the temple do not abstain from vegetarian wine, but they are not allowed to get drunk, so the old host will occasionally brew some wine to cellar, when it comes to the understanding of wine, Yan Yi is still above Huai Liangren.

"This is koji made from glutinous rice?

It's a good thing, this kind of koji can be paired with different grains in the future, and a variety of rice wines with different flavors can be brewed.

When I was in the temple, I also saw the master make koji, but I had never seen koji with a faint aroma of wine, how did King Zhou Mian do it?"

Don't look at Zhou Dong's koji, there is a faint aroma of wine, in fact, in the normal process of winemaking, if the koji is not mixed in the soaked wine rice, and after a period of fermentation, it is impossible to have the aroma of wine.

Yan Yi looked at Zhou Dong's eyes with a deep sense of surprise, this King of Zhou Mian really had too many secrets hidden in his body, and he was surprised when he returned.

"What's so strange about this, anything out of the ordinary can happen with this guy, you know it naturally after you've been with him for a long time. ”

"Mida Buddha, what Chef Huai said is very true. ”

Yan Yi now understands it, the master said that his fate is not in the temple, and sure enough, it is a prophecy, and his fate seems to be on the young master in front of him!

Zhou Dong looked at the koji a few times, and immediately appeared in his mind how to mix the ingredients for brewing 'three bowls of but gang', how to soak the wine rice, as well as the method of stepping on the koji, employing people, etc., because it is necessary to use it with the 'wine introduction' in the system, his brewing method will be a little different from the ordinary brewing of rice wine, and I am afraid that some actions will be difficult for people to understand.

But it's also an ancient law, and people with real insight won't make a fuss.

"Brother Li, after the location of the winery is selected, I will let Kyushu Dingshi build it within three days, and at the same time, the 'wine rice' and water used for winemaking will be transported to Fengqi Mountain in the shortest possible time.

In addition, the rice wine I want to brew is a little different from the general process, there will be a process similar to that of brewing liquor, and some people who need to 'step on the song', I want to find it nearby, and it is best to use the folks of Fengqi Mountain......"

"Haha, that's a good dare,

It's not enough to go to the farm, and I often go out to work and am often owed wages, so the most important thing in the mountains is strong labor.

I don't dare to say it, your brother Zhou wants to use people, as long as I say hello, a few nearby villages can make up dozens of strong male laborers. ”

Li Xiuchen was very happy when he heard this, this old brother Zhou is simply a noble person in Fengqi Mountain, not only has he brought countless benefits to Fengqi Village, but now even the nearby villages will also benefit, this is due to his own connections, and he will be the person with the highest prestige in the entire Fengqi Mountain in the future.

"Brother, let's talk as we go......"

Li Xiuchen happily pulled Zhou Dong, and secretly decided in his heart that the land in Sister Valley must be 'rented' to Brother Zhou at the cheapest price, even if Kyushu Dingshi pays for it, isn't this also Brother Zhou's face.

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Speaking of Sister Valley, what I want to use this time is not the male labor in the village, but the sisters here......"

"You mean?"

Li Xiuchen is a layman after all, I heard that Zhou Dong is going to find the sisters in the village, although he believes in his personality, his eyes are still a little strange.

"Hehe, King Zhou Mian is really an expert. ”

Yan Yi smiled and took the initiative to take the words: "I know this, the stepping procedure that must be passed through to brew liquor is stepped on by young women.

This is because making good sake requires a high degree of strength and density to be tightened and crushed to facilitate fermentation.

Because men generally weigh more, the force of stepping on the koji is too large, which can easily cause the koji to be stepped on too tightly, which is not conducive to brewing a good sake with a mellow sauce.

As far as I know, in the stepping workshops of Moutai and Wuliangye, they are all young and light girls, and even the aunts with fat bodies are not suitable, let alone men. ”

Li Xiuchen was stunned: "There is still such a statement?"

"Hehe, Master Yan is right, but he hasn't said it all. ”

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Another reason is that the temperature of the workshop is relatively high, and women are more heat-resistant than men, and they are more able to accept the high temperature environment.

In addition, there will be fewer bacteria and secretions from women's feet, which will not spoil the koji or affect the pH. In this way, the original taste of the wine can be guaranteed. ”

Yan Yi gave Zhou Dong a thumbs up: "Awesome, it seems that you really can't be called the king of Zhou noodles in the future, even winemaking is an expert, it is simply thoughtful!"

However, my all-round chef, I have also seen the master make wine, and I am not a layman in rice wine brewing.

As far as I know, rice wine is at most 'mixed koji', and it seems that there is no need for the process of stepping on koji.

It's not Wuliangye, there are many types of grain used, and the hardness is different, so you need a more refined 'stepping on the curve' process?"

Zhou Dong smiled slightly and glanced at the three curious guys: "I'm actually not really stepping on the song, stepping on the song is stepping on the bricks, strictly speaking, it is actually the process of making the song.

I have already made koji in advance, and now the so-called koji is actually just a process of 'mixing koji', but I have made it more special this time, so I need to use this method to complete it.

Do you know the name of the rice wine I'm going to make?"

Huai Liangren shook his head: "What people like you do, who can guess it's weird, say it quickly!"

"Three bowls are not enough!"

Three bowls are not enough?

The three of them widened their eyes, and they couldn't imagine that Zhou Dong actually gave such a name to the first rice wine.

In today's era of high liquor, what kind of rice wine dares to use this name, have you asked the 65-degree burning knife to agree or not?

Huai Liangren suddenly scoffed: "What are you kidding, there is a hill in front of the door of Kyushu Dingshi, and the name does not live up to its name!"

Zhou Dong laughed: "Have you forgotten that this wine also has a name, which is called going out to pour?"

"It's even more nonsense, if it's rice wine, don't say three bowls, five or six bowls won't want to pour me!"

Huai Liangren naturally can't compare to Zhou Dong's magical amount of wine, but a few bowls of rice wine still can't get drunk with him, a Michelin chef, after all, when he was in France, he often used top red wine as water to drink.

"You don't need five or six bowls, just three bowls!

Guaranteed to let you get drunk without going out, if you don't believe it, let's make a bet,

If you lose, teach your skills in Cantonese cuisine to my three students, and supervise them strictly.

If you win, I'll take care of your meals for free for a month, three meals a day, and I'll cook for you myself!"

Zhou Dong threw out a fatal temptation.

Huai Liangren's eyes suddenly lit up: "Haha, Lao Zhou, this is your initiative to send to the door to be my private cook, how can I be embarrassed to refuse?"

I bet!"

While speaking, the four of them unconsciously walked into Sister Ajie's valley......
