Many people think that as long as the water and grain used in brewing are good, they will be able to produce good wine, but isn't this the case with Moutai Wuliangye? Even some professional winemakers think so.

Not really.

The water and food used in brewing should be good, but more importantly, it is suitable.

Even if Gu Yanan airlifted the 'good water in the world', it also needs a reasonable proportion, if you add Zhou Dong's newly excavated Sister Spring, the changes will become more and more subtle, which can be described as 'speechless and heartless'.

The first step in sake brewing is not to soak the sake rice, but to mix it with water.

According to the text and picture explanations given by Zhou Dong, Gu Yanan took three places of water respectively.

The first place is naturally the nameless spring in Quancheng, where Yongyong's maiden home is located.

The second is near Guide in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

"The Yellow River in the world is expensive Deqing!" The Yellow River water here has not yet entered the Loess Plateau, the water quality is not turbid, and at the same time contains various trace elements unique to the Bayankala Mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, although because it is only the upper reaches of the Yellow River, it is far from stretching for thousands of miles, and the ingredients are somewhat insufficient, and can only be used to make spirits, but the "three bowls but Gang" are not the spirits in the rice wine?

What's more, Zhou Dong, a legendary brewing master, personally blends water from all over the world, so he doesn't have to worry about the lack of ingredients in the water at all.

The third place of water is even more famous.

But it is related to Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo, the two historical celebrities, it is the story of Su students being lazy and exposed by Wang Anshi, Wang wants the water in the middle gorge of the Yangtze River, Su Dongpo forgot to take it when he crossed the middle gorge, thinking of saving some trouble, so he brought the water back in the gorge, but I didn't expect this Wang Xiang to be a big 'poisonous tongue', he tasted it in one bite, and said what 'the Three Gorges water is pure and lively, only the upper gorge is frivolous, the lower gorge is lost and turbid, only the middle gorge water is light'!

Xiao Su, how can you deceive me and use this water from the lower gorge to pass off as the water from the middle gorge?

What Zhou Dong asked Gu Yanan to take is the 'Zhongzheng Light Spirit' water in the middle gorge of the Yangtze River, and it must be the water of the heart of the river!

Let's not talk about how much the cost of air transportation water is, just taking this river water will take the old nose effort, if it weren't for Zhou Dong's excellent cooking skills, handsome people, and can be called 'color and art', Gu Yanan will spend so much effort?

Huai Liang and Yan Yi, Yong Yong and his female duck, and a group of villagers led by Li Xiuchen were all watching the grand occasion of Zhou Dong's wine brewing at this moment.

The water from the three places airlifted and the water source selected by Zhou Dong in Ajie Lake are now stored in four large tempered glass sealed containers.

At the bottom of each of the four glass containers, there is a water channel blocked by a valve, and the valve must be opened at the same time and air can only flow out of the container, and at the end of the four water channels is the important 'rice pool'.

Zhou Dong stood on the edge of the rice pool, with a boxy glassware and four buckets filled with different water sources in front of him, with a solemn face and an extremely serious expression.

Huai Liangren looked a little sour, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, Lao Zhou is now more and more adept at pretending.

"Ma Shiqing's water theory has a record, 'The second water user gets the essence of winemaking, the third water user gets the culmination of winemaking, and the water user has more than three changes, then he gets the charm of winemaking!"

Even Ma Shiqing himself has never used more than three water sources to mix with each other, just because there are so many brewers in the world that there are so few people who can be deified!

I'm going to challenge the 'Super Three Changes' today, but I don't know if the legendary brewing can help me surpass this former master of wine!"

Zhou Dong was a little nervous in his heart, after all, these four water sources were mixed and used, which had never been tried by previous brewmasters, but it was extremely difficult for him to perfectly integrate them in a short period of time.

If it is a brewmaster who lives by the water somewhere and is familiar with the water nature all day long, it is much simpler, but three of these four water sources are selected by him according to the records of "Water Talk", only the water of Sister Lake he has tasted with his own mouth, but the time is also very short, at most he can only be regarded as a little knowledge of water nature, but he is not proficient.

"After brewing wine, I have to return to Kyushu Dingshi as soon as possible to earn some appreciation points, and if I continue like this, I will be 'bankrupt' sooner or later!"

After opening the legendary brewing skill, every minute and second, there are appreciation points in his hands and fingertips that are consumed.

First taste its nature, and then try its changes, first explore the changes of the two water sources, and wait until you master the water nature, and then add new water on this basis, but if you are not careful, you will find that the new water is added a little over, and you have to start again.

Two or three, and finally began to add the water of Ajie Lake mixed with the underground hot springs and Chudu's 'heavy water', and the water of Ajie Lake, which was regarded by Zhou Dong as the main water that can be used for brewing, is said to be the fourth, but it is actually the number of five waters.

Even if Zhou Dong has legendary wine-making skills and challenges five water sources at once, he will inevitably miss, and everyone saw him suddenly pour water into the glass container in front of him, and suddenly shake his head and frown, and pour out the water in the glass container, just like a genius scientist who is crazy about experiments in the laboratory.

Shen Cheng swallowed a little nervously and asked in a low voice, "Chef Huai, what do you say Chef Zhou is doing?"

Although I am a layman, I also know that the first step in making rice wine is not so complicated, as long as you choose the right 'sake rice' and then put these sake rice into the pool to soak, what kind of strength does Chef Zhou have with these water from all over the world?"

"Hmph. ”

Huai Liangren gave him a blank look and didn't bother to answer.

You know I don't understand, but you came to ask me, are you deliberately embarrassing Chef Ben?

Besides, even if Zhou Dong does something wrong, it won't be your turn to be a junior chef who talks too much, can it be that when you get here, you don't have to follow the rules of the back kitchen?

Yan Yi's personality was better, and seeing Shen Cheng's embarrassment, he smiled and said, "If you want me to see that King Zhou Mian is thinking about the reasonable ratio of these water sources, right?"

I've heard from the master that the level of the sake brewer is evident in the mixing of various water sources, so you don't have to worry about asking, when you see him put the 'sake rice' in that glass container, it will be a successful blend. ”

Huai Liangren nodded when he heard this: "The fake bald head knows a lot." ”

Yan Yi smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm nothing, but my master is very knowledgeable, not only is he a good cook, but he is also very good at winemaking, I really look forward to his old man being able to meet King Zhou Mian." ”

"Hehe, people who know wine will naturally smell the aroma of wine, I don't think this day will be too far away......"

Huai Liangren's eyes suddenly twitched slightly: "What else does this guy can't do, he actually succeeded in such a short time?"

Seeing that Zhou Dong had stopped his hand and looked at the glass container in front of him with a smile, Huai Liangren was suddenly a little deflated, is this person really his chosen opponent?

What kind of big demon did you choose, oh my God, I don't want it!

With a certain number in his heart, Zhou Dong began to issue orders one by one.

"Open the valve of the No. 1 can, pour it for twenty-three seconds and collect it!"

"No. 2 Yellow River water, dump it in 18 seconds and collect it!"

"No. 3 Spring City Water, No. 4 Sister Lake Water......"

After receiving the order, the girls hired by the winery carried it out very seriously one by one.

This handsome chef and winemaker can say that in addition to stepping on the koji and mixing the koji, they each do one more type of work, and the salary will increase by 10% at the end of the month.

After the valves of the four water tanks are opened, the air inlet at the top of the tank is also opened, so that the water in the sealed tank can be injected into the immersion pool along the four tempered glass waterways.

When all the water sources were injected, Zhou Dong dipped his fingers in his mouth and tasted it, and after confirming that the ratio effect was exactly what he wanted, he nodded with satisfaction and began to pour 'sake rice' into the rice immersion pool.

Wine rice is a general term that can refer to millet, glutinous rice, various grains, and even sweet potatoes.

Zhou Dong chose millet and glutinous rice, the former to enhance the color of the wine, the latter to ensure the taste, and after pouring the rice into the pool, he began to mix it well with a mixing handle made of toon wood.

Two thousand catties of wine is scary, but it is actually one ton, the volume of wine and water is close, that is, about a cubic meter, and the amount of wine and rice used is actually not much.

So starting from this procedure, Zhou Dong had to wait until the rice was soaked for 24 hours, and he had to cook the rice in a pot himself, and then it was the girls' turn to go into battle, and use a pair of jade feet to put the koji prepared by Zhou Dong in the boiled rice and mix it evenly......

After stirring the sake rice well and soaking it in water that has just reached the surface of the sake rice for 24 hours, Zhou Dong began the most important step in the brewing process, boiling the sake rice, also known as boiling sake!

Zhou Dong holds a toon wood stirring handle, stirring with one hand, and dipping into the pot from time to time to measure the temperature with the technique of 'taking chestnuts from the fire'.

In fact, it is not only for temperature measurement, the legendary wine-making skill is like the legendary-level washing vegetables, it is already the realm of the god of wine, with the special effect of turning decay into magic, and it is the basis for using wine!

This is the first time that Zhou Dong has taken something out of the system, and his heart moved, and twenty round objects as small as pearls and bright yellow body color had appeared in his hand that looked down the edge of the pot.

The wine introduction in exchange for the wine star spectrum is the essence of this kind of wine, that is to say, since ancient times, all the 'three bowls are not enough', and every hundred jars have one jar for the wine king, and the essence of the wine king is worthy of being the introduction of this wine!

What a powerful thing? Even if it is mixed with hot sake rice, some of it still smells high!

Zhou Dong has the 'amount of wine of the gods', and the physique of a thousand cups is not drunk, but he was suddenly rushed by this wine, and he also felt his head dizzy, and the hand holding the toon wood handle was slightly loosened, and he almost threw the wooden handle in the pot!

Such a thousand-year-old wine introduction cannot be used by the god of wine in the world, even if it is a wine king like Cang Yanshan, who has more than a dozen catties of wine, he will be drunk on the spot, and then plunge his head into the hot pot.

Fortunately, Zhou Dong's Bacchus body directly sucked away ninety percent of the wine smell that emanated from the wine, and the air in Sister Valley was circulated, and some of it dispersed, so it didn't cause a catastrophe.

Even so, the onlookers still felt that their heads were suddenly dizzy, as if they were drunk for the first time, and they were as happy as gods, and many people released their souls in a short period of time......

"What are you doing with a fake bald head!"

After all, it is French red wine that does not leave his hand, and Chef Huai, who is good friends with the helmsmen of several first-class wineries, dares to bet with Zhou Dong that there is still a lot of wine, although he was also slightly dizzy by this wine-scented mind, but he quickly returned to normal.

Looking at Yan Yi with a fat face full of smiles, his eyes flowing, his cheeks were red, and he was so presumptuous that he hooked up with his shoulder and back, Huai Liangren suddenly became angry, are you going crazy?

They were all crazy, and the girls who had been recruited to wait for the song to be stepped on were giggling, and one by one they began to dance and dance, staring into the eyes of a bunch of men.

Yong Yong suddenly 'abandoned' her female duck, with two wings and one wing, flew more than two meters high, and then landed on a hen foraging by the lake with unmistakable accuracy......

"Oh, what happened to me?

It's just cooking wine, and the aroma of wine is already so intoxicating, Chef Huai, how do I feel that you are going to lose this bet again?"

Yan Yi finally came to his senses, vaguely remembered what he had just done, although he was thick-skinned and a little embarrassed, he quickly changed the topic.

"Hmph, I haven't competed yet, how do you know I'm going to lose?"

Huai Liangren glared at him fiercely: "What can you do if you lose? Isn't it just to be a free teacher for a few days!"

There is no class in education, and this is what people in my generation should be, doesn't Master Yan think that education is a great job?"

Yan Yi hehe Zhile, his heart said you can pull it down, education has become industrialized in recent years, great or something, it was the old yellow calendar of the last century, and you are embarrassed to mention it?

"The next time you use 'wine induction', you have to be careful, especially a strong liquor like 'three bowls of but gang', the wine introduction is naturally violent, and ordinary people may be drunk if they sniff a few more sips.

If someone driving inadvertently smells it, isn't it going to be drunk driving?

Zhou Dong secretly warned himself, while boiling the sake rice evenly after the wine was introduced, and waited until the water in the pot was basically gone, and the sake rice began to darken in color, and the sake rice was not scorched, he quickly removed the firewood under the pot, and at the same time greeted loudly.

"Sisters, you can be invited into the 'warm house'!"

The so-called 'warm room' is actually the room used to make koji and mix koji, and the temperature is kept at about 30 degrees Celsius, so that the koji can be fully fermented and the flavor of the sake is more mellow and fragrant.

After the boiled sake rice was spread out on the curved bed, it had become warm, and after Zhou Dong broke the 'god's sake koji' he had made before and mixed it into the sake rice one by one, it was time for the girls to perform.

A pair of slender jade feet were washed with hot spring water, and the poison was eliminated with alcohol, and after the smell of alcohol was removed with water three times, the girls stood on the curved bed with a smile and stepped on.

This step is taught:

Exactly, step by step lotus flowers, slender and fragrant!
