"You say this is a villa?" Hu Er stared at the house in front of him with wide eyes.

Long Teng nodded and said, "Yes, it's a villa, what's the problem?"

"Are you sure this isn't a manor?" Qi Kun pointed to the house in front of him.

"Big villa! big villa!" Long Teng said with a smile: "Fengnan Mountain was originally a wasteland, and the geology was poor, so it couldn't be cultivated at all. As you know, urban construction is the best way to boost GDP, so when the mayor was in office, I asked my father's Long Group to develop this land. The price of land is very low. ”

Yang Meng frowned and asked, "Has anyone bought the house here?"

Duan Bowen explained: "When my father and Uncle Long developed this place, it was a big burden, at that time, it was a desolate place, almost no people within a radius of five kilometers, and almost no one came here except for good men and women. ”

"Good men believe in women?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Duan Bowen pointed to Fengnan Mountain in front of him and said: "The Immortal Temple on Fengnan Mountain is the best Taoist temple of incense in our city, and the host is Yunhe Daoist, don't you know it?"

Yang Meng suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the old Taoist priest is mixed here, haven't we become neighbors?"

Hu Er looked around: "Can the house here be sold?"

Duan Bowen explained: "At that time, it was really troublesome to build here, not to mention any supporting facilities, and there was no road to here, so the method adopted by Uncle Long was to build the house here relatively large, in the style of a Western manor." But the houses here have all been sold. If you are neighbors with the Xiantan Taoist Temple, then this must be a treasure of feng shui. If the roads are repaired, there are still many people who buy houses. ”

Qi Kun asked curiously, "Why don't I see that no one lives here?"

Duan Bowen nodded and said: "Yes, don't look at the houses that have been sold, but the occupancy rate here is really not high, and many people buy houses here as resorts or wait for the house to increase in value." ”

"It's so empty?" Qi Kun asked, puzzled.

Duan Bowen nodded and said, "Yes, many houses are so empty here. The house where Mr. Yang lives now has always been vacant, and I am cleaning up here during this time, otherwise it is really inconvenient to move in. ”

Qi Kun said: "We really don't understand the life of rich people, I can't afford to buy a small house if I want to." ”

After hearing this, Yang Meng patted Qi Kun and said: "Dude, let's face the reality, the current situation is that those who lack a house can't afford to buy a house, and those who can afford a house don't lack a house." Let's go, don't look outside, let's go in and take a look! By the way, Bowen, don't forget to pay the fine in a while, and call me Mr. Yang again. ”

Duan Bowen smiled bitterly: "Okay, I admit punishment." Brother Yang, the garage can park three cars over there, and your motorcycle can be parked there. You helped push Brother Yang's car to the garage. Oh, and what you asked me to prepare, I've got it ready for you! Now it's in the back storeroom. ”

Hu Er was stunned and said: "Warehouse, garage, when can I live in such a house!"

Yang Meng smiled: "You can live if you want to live, I don't buy a house to buy, I just borrow it for a while." ”

Hu Er waved his hand and said, "I won't come to live, I would have entrusted you with the whole barbecue restaurant, and let me take advantage of you to live here?" Besides, it's not convenient to do anything here, you yourself suffer here!" he said that it is really not that he can't eat grapes and said that grapes are sour, it is really inconvenient to live here, it is more than ten kilometers away from the city, and the nearest supermarket is a few kilometers away, so it is inconvenient to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Duan Bowen said at this time: "Brother Yang, do you know that in order to find what you requested, I was about to break my leg during this time, and finally I got it with the help of friends in the countryside." ”

Qi Kun asked curiously, "What did you ask Secretary Duan to buy you so mysterious?"

Yang Meng smiled: "You can go with me to have a look? ”

The group arrived at the warehouse together, and Qi Kun was stunned when he saw the things inside: "Isn't this a retort bucket and a heavenly pot? What are you going to do?

Duan Bowen was stunned: "Do you know this thing?"

Hu Er, who was on the side, smiled and said: "Secretary Duan, what you said is interesting, people in the city may not be able to recognize such things, but we rural people really know it." There is an old man in our village who has opened a winery, and the wine he brews in our village and several nearby villages is drunk. When I was a child, I went to Old Man Fang to help, and then stole wine to drink. ”

"Actually, it can't be regarded as stealing wine and drinking, Old Man Fang knows it. Yang Meng said.

Hu Er nodded and said, "Mengmeng, if you want to make wine, is there still a big pot of earth stoves?"

Yang Meng smiled: "I'll just build one myself." You don't see bricks, mud, everything. ”

"Are you really going to make wine?" Hu Erxuan and Qi Kun looked at Yang Meng together.

Yang Meng nodded and said, "Study it, the key is that I owe people wine." ”

"Who do you owe?" asked Hu Erzhuo.

Yang Meng smiled but did not speak.

Can he tell Hu Erfu that they owe a fairy wine of unknown origin?

"Brother Yang, I bought you ready-made koji, all of which are big koji, medium temperature koji, high temperature koji and ultra-high temperature koji. Duan Bowen said.

Koji is an essential raw material for sake brewing, and there are five main categories: wheat koji, small koji, large koji, red koji, and bran koji.

The two main ones are 'small songs' and 'big songs', with small songs being unique to the south and large songs being characteristic of the north. In the north, wheat koji is generally used, while in the south, rice koji is customary.

Xiaoqu has appeared since the Jin Dynasty, and since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a wide variety of Chinese herbs have begun to be added to Xiaoqu, and the recipes of each family are not passed on. But it's very exquisite. Just like Mr. Zhou Henggang, a domestic brewing master, once collected a secret recipe for medicinal koji in Qionglai, Sichuan, and 72 kinds of medicinal materials are used in this recipe!

Most of today's koji has medicinal ingredients, and there are very few places where the original flavor of koji is maintained.

Dakoji, on the other hand, is derived from the traditional barley koji in the north, and originally referred to the larger barley koji, and the selection specifically refers to the barley koji used for distillation and brewing.

Daqu is divided into medium temperature, high temperature and ultra-high temperature according to different cultivation temperatures, medium temperature Daqu is used for brewing light-flavored liquor, high-temperature Daqu is used for brewing strong aroma liquor, and ultra-high temperature Daqu is used for brewing sauce-flavored liquor.

Looking at the brick-like songs, Hu Er suddenly laughed: "Mengmeng, how do I remember when Old Man Fang made wine koji when I was a child? At that time, we were as tired as our grandsons every day." Now you can buy the finished product directly. ”

"What, are you tired of making koji?" asked Long Teng.

Hu Erji explained: "That's it, to put it bluntly, it is the evolution of moldy grains! This process of making Daqu is also called 'stepping song', and you will understand when you hear it, it is all stepped on with your feet." At that time, the old man Fang was responsible for staring at adding curved surfaces to the mold, and then several of us took turns to step on it, and the old man Fang said that the really exquisite koji-making process required sixty people to step on such a large piece of koji, and each person stepped on three feet, not one more foot! Every once in a while, we have to go in and turn over Daqu, and at that time we have to go in with bare butts, and it's still hot!"

Qi Kun said: "Now these are all mechanically pressed koji, right? It's not as troublesome as when we were young." ”

Yang Meng said: "No, no, no, those traditional famous wineries still use the traditional way of making koji to make wine. Only small breweries use mechanized koji. ”

Qi Kun picked up the retort bucket and the heavenly pot on the ground and laughed: "I suddenly remembered the Internet I watched. ”

"Hmm, what does this have to do with the Internet?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Qi Kun said: "What is the most popular thing now? is crossing, what are the three treasures of crossing? Potatoes, glass and liquor, almost all of them have these things, and most of the books write about liquor is what is made of glass to make distillation equipment, I suspect that those who write books regard the distillation experiment in junior high school physics class as the only way to distill, right? Who would have thought that the equipment for steaming liquor is so simple?"

Many people think that distilling liquor is a very complicated process, but in fact, distilling liquor is really simple.

First of all, there must be a big stove, that is, the kind of big iron boiler used in the countryside, pour the fermented wine into the pot and start heating, surround the wooden retort barrel on the pot to ensure that the steam does not run, and finally put a special iron pot on the top of the retort barrel, this iron pot is called 'heavenly pot', after adding cold water to it, the water vapor in the retort bucket meets the low temperature of the heavenly pot, it will condense into liquor at the bottom of the pot, and then flow out of the retort barrel along the conduit at the bottom of the heavenly pot, which is the distilled liquor.

Every time a pot of wine is burned, the wine that begins to flow out is called 'pot head', the concentration is relatively high, about 75 degrees, and then the concentration of the wine that flows out will continue to decline, and in the end it is only a dozen degrees, which is called the wine tip, and the wine obtained by pinching the head and leaving the tail in the middle is called the second pot head.

Of course, the process of making 'Erguotou' is generally a secret that is not passed on, at least Old Man Fang will not brew Erguotou.

Duan Bowen said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, let me tell you, there is a mountain spring on the south mountain of this peak, I heard that the water is very good, although I don't know how to make wine, but I know that grain is the flesh of wine, koji is the bone of wine, and water is the blood of wine." No matter what kind of wine you want to make, at least this water is the best!"

Yang Meng grinned and said, "Okay, don't bother me during this time, I want to study winemaking." ”

Duan Bowen continued: "Brother Yang, let's not be here, let's go and see what you still lack in the room, I'll send it to you, by the way, you can also take a look at your study, and if you have any opinions, tell me directly that I can correct it." ”

"And what about the study?" Qi Kun turned to Long Teng with wide eyes and asked, "Long Teng, are you still missing a pendant on your thigh?"

Long Teng was also humorous, looked Qi Kun up and down with a serious expression and said, "Lobster, I'm sorry, you're too fat, I can't hang on my thighs." ”

"Hahahahaha. ”
