316 kinds of flowers are busy with winemaking

(Thanks to my friend maplecsu and biu Dream Breaker Pass for encouragement)

Africa is generally poor and backward, but the physical fitness of these locals is really very good. In fact, as long as they get rid of the problem of being lazy when they do their work, they are all good laborers.

The next day, the four financial officers were directly "laid off". My arms hurt, my legs hurt, my whole body hurts, how can I work?

Yesterday was a moment of excitement and I was able to work happily. They had never worked much, but they returned to the pre-liberation period in one fell swoop. Lao Liu can't be embarrassed for them, just rest today.

In fact, it's not just them, even Lao Liu was laid off.

They hadn't planted flowers before, so they did get a little flustered the first day. Now this is an easy job, and they don't need Lao Liu at all.

Lao Liu was not idle, he wanted to make wine, and now that he finally bought the equipment for winemaking, he began to operate it.

But after all, it is the first time to brew, and the method of seeing it is still included when I bought the machine, and I only prepared 200 catties of sorghum for the first time.

Winemaking is a true art, and there are many tricks to master. Anyway, Lao Liu has already thought about it, in order to save more money in the future, he will brew more if he has nothing to do recently.

The raw material is sorghum, you see that sorghum is inconspicuous, and it is also the top croaking existence in the materials of winemaking. Whether it is Moutai or Wuliangye, sorghum is a very important raw material.

Of course, Moutai uses local glutinous sorghum, and there will be a lot of its own craftsmanship. It takes several times to steam, ferment, age, blend, and finally Moutai.

There is no comparison with Moutai, as long as you drink these self-brewed with confidence, the taste is almost complete.

There are also many ways to make wine, such as the fast liquid method and the slightly slower solid method. Lao Liu chose the latter, it's okay to be slow, the taste of the wine must be good.

The liquid method is to directly crush or grind the sorghum, and then add koji and water. This saves time and produces a high amount of alcohol, which is used in many factories. The disadvantage is that if there is no good blending of aged wine, the taste of this wine will be worse.

Of course, the whole process of brewing is really too complicated, and there are many factors that affect the taste, but not only the brewing method.

Lao Liu opted for the solid-state brewing method, and the shelled sorghum was soaked in water for nearly twenty hours. Anyway, in Lao Liu's opinion, the early process of brewing wine is similar to taking a bath. Soak and then steam, just like taking a sauna.

Seeing Lao Liu steaming sorghum rice here, Xiao Miaomiao was very curious, and thought that this was a new food. It's just that after she secretly tasted a grain of steamed sorghum rice while Lao Liu was not paying attention, that little face suddenly became bitter.

What kind of taste can sorghum rice with husks have, and this is not the sorghum rice that is usually eaten at home, but a variety used for sake brewing.

"Dad, it's not delicious at all. The little guy said seriously.

"So greedy, now you know it's powerful, right?" said Lao Liu with a smile.

"Dad, why do you have to steam if it's not delicious?" asked the little guy curiously.

"Haha, this one is for sake brewing. Steamed sorghum rice, fermented, and then steamed and boiled, can be turned into wine. After spreading the sorghum, Lao Liu hugged the little guy and said.

Xiao Miaomiao frowned, she didn't like wine, and she thought she wanted to make good food.

"Brother Liu, is that okay?" asked Wang Shasha curiously.

"I have to put it in the vat to ferment. However, I use less sorghum, so I can ferment it in large vats, and the sealing can be better. Liu Wenrui said casually.

"By the way, what did Raymond do? How did I find out that this thing was not doing his job? I thought that when his mind was clear, he would concentrate more on brewing coffee. ”

"Walking around the coffee plantation is to carefully feel the ripening process of the coffee berries. I also think he's chattering for a while. Wang Shasha said.

Lao Liu shook his head helplessly, he felt that he should not worry about this matter. Raymond's thoughts, you really can't grasp.

Putting the little guy aside, Lao Liu turned over the sorghum on the cool stall.

"Brother Liu, you said that it would be great if we had hot springs and spring water here. Don't people say that whether it is to make wine or make tea, it is best to use spring water. Wang Shasha said.

"What do you want? We can dig a well, it's good to have water to drink, and you still expect to have spring water?" Lao Liu asked helplessly.

"Oh, can't you think about it? By the way, why don't you build a biogas digester? Now that there are more people, Brother Wang, they have to go to fill liquefied gas frequently. Wang Shasha said.

Lao Liu nodded, "This matter can indeed be considered, and it can also help us deal with some garbage or something." It's just that we have to choose a good place, which is far away from the place where we live. ”

"It's a lot of money, and it's going to cost about $20,000 to get it all. Let's wait, I don't have enough money to support it. $20,000 is enough for me to adjust my fees for a month. ”

Wang Shasha thought for a moment and nodded. It's really like this, for the current Lao Liu, the funds are really not enough to support.

Among these people, except for Chen Cheng, that is, she has the clearest grasp of Lao Liu's funds. A lot of the money was "spent" by her, and after the project money was settled, Lao Liu Zhen didn't have much left.

At this time, the Lion King also came over, squatted beside Lao Liu, and looked up at Lao Liu.

Lao Liu put down his daughter, and then rubbed the lion king's head, "Have you stayed here enough with me, do you want to go back to the grassland?"

The Lion King rubbed his head against him.

"Oh, it can understand these words?" asked Wang Shasha with some surprise.

"Haha, if you've lived with us for a long time, you can understand it. Lao Liu said with a little smugness.

"Don't worry, I'll send you back to the grassland tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Then you take the lion cub with you and nurture it well. Save it every day in addition to eating and sleeping, the rest is to play. ”

The Lion King rubbed again in his arms, and then he fell to the side. If you don't lie down, you can't do it, Xiao Miaomiao grabbed its scarf and pressed it to the ground.

There is not much sorghum rice, and the area of Lao Liu Tanliang is also large, which is such a thin layer. After it cooled, Lao Liu took the koji and poured it up, and then began to stir.

Xiao Miaomiao, who was still playing with The Lion King, thought it was very interesting when she saw this. ran home and took a small shovel out to help Lao Liu work together.

In fact, when she came back, Lao Liu had already stirred. But the girl wants to work, so she has to continue to let the girl stir.

The little sapling is very serious about his work, and he is tired of sweating. Only then did he help Lao Liu put it into the big vat on the side, and the cylinder mouth was sealed with plastic film.

The work of sake brewing is completed today. The technical requirement in the future is to manage the temperature well, and it is necessary to add an insulation layer at night.

"Brother Liu, when the new factory is built and people have gone over there, what should we do when we eat?" asked Wang Shasha as she walked home.

Lao Liu rolled his eyes, "What do you mean, the food I cook is not delicious?"

"Hahaha, how is it possible, Brother Liu's cooking is more delicious. Isn't it that I feel sorry for Brother Liu, I am so busy every day, I am afraid that Brother Liu will be tired. Wang Shasha said seriously.

"I'm going to show you a hand today and let you try the baked lobster with cream cheese I made. Lao Liu also said seriously.

"It's actually very simple, it's just a little different in the materials. I don't think it depends on the skill of the prawns. ”

"I've watched videos of foreigners making butter and butter with cream and cheese and it's fried or baked, it's really not too easy. ”

For Lao Liu to be so confident, Wang Shasha is actually a little skeptical. But Comrade Liu is the boss, so I said so, let's mix it up first.

Now the big lobsters at home are all standing ingredients, and Lao Liu took out one and cleaned it and cut it directly in the middle. The lobster meat is carefully taken out, stirred with cream and cheese, and backfilled into the lobster shell.

In Wang Shasha's feeling, what she is doing now seems to be quite like that.

Set the pan and place a piece of butter in the pan. After the oil melted, Lao Liu put the lobster in it and fried it slowly over low heat.

After turning over the noodles, Lao Liu poured some milk and cheese into the pot, which was used to make juice. The lobster is fried and plated, and the milk and cheese juice are poured on top, and it is all over the place.

"Taste it, it doesn't taste bad. Lao Liu said confidently.

"Well, it's delicious. Xiao Miaomiao, who couldn't wait for a long time, directly dug up a big spoonful of shrimp meat.

"Don't say it, Brother Liu, is it really that simple?" Wang Shasha also asked after tasting it.

Lao Liu nodded proudly, "Don't underestimate my brother, my brother's cooking skills are also a lot." ”

I also sighed in my heart, in order to show off in front of my daughter, I had already fried six lobsters. It can't be said that it is fried, but the taste is worse.

Don't look at the production method, it looks very simple, and there is a lot of knowledge in it. Pay attention to the amount of milk and cheese, the amount of sea salt, and the control of heat.

Let's just say milk and cheese juice, he has fried them. And he also found that the taste of raw lobster is much better when fried directly than after cooking.

But you have to be careful not to crush the shrimp when stirring it. In that case, the shrimp meat will lose its strong texture and will not taste chewy.

Anyway, Wang Shasha instinctively felt that Lao Liu was a little suspicious of boasting now, but the taste of this lobster was really good. In particular, a little bit of mushrooms and chopped onions on the top make it taste much better.

Xiao Miaomiao's appetite is very good, and she eats half a large lobster in one go, which is the first dish for today's lunch. After playing with the lions for a while, the little one can eat a small half bowl of rice.
