0203 Winemaking
Chili peppers can pollinate, which undoubtedly removes a major heart disease of Xu Yi. This space is so big, it doesn't have the conditions to form wind at all, and even Xu Yi once suspected that even if this space is big, it can't form wind at all.
The terrain in the space is such a flat land, and it is isolated from the outside world, too single environment, coupled with the uniform distribution of light, there is no condition for the formation of convection, so there will be no wind naturally.
However, one of the major conditions for the pollination of wind-borne flowers is that air movement is required so that the pollen can be carried around and spread, so that it can fall on the female flowers to complete the pollination process.
Although the vast majority of vegetables are insect-borne and pollinated by bees, there are many common vegetables and food crops such as wheat and rice that are wind-borne plants. I thought that in this windless space, these wind-borne flowers would not be pollinated at all, so Xu Yi really put a lot of thought into choosing crop varieties.
But now this space has used a special way to solve this problem that has plagued him for a long time, Xu Yi feels that the world in front of him is getting brighter and brighter, and his heart is suddenly a lot more relaxed.
As long as you solve the problem of bees again, so that the bees will not have too much inventory, and there is no enthusiasm for collecting honey, in addition to not knowing whether you have to pollinate artificially in the cocoa, there is no problem with the pollination of the things planted in the space now, and the harvest can naturally be guaranteed, so that your dumpling restaurant will naturally have a stable raw material delivery guarantee.
Xu Yi thought that he would have to start planting vegetables when he came in tomorrow, and he didn't have the space to dry the vegetable seeds because he couldn't handle the seeds all over the ground. This time there's a tarpaulin, so it's time to move that kind of seed back.
Xu Yi carried the tarpaulin to an open space. Untie the tied rope, spread it out on the ground and get out of the space. Went to the old lady's house.
Xu Yi went up to the second floor to the room where the seeds were dried, grabbed the shelves on the ground on both sides of the bamboo poles with both hands, then closed his eyes, and brought the shelves on both sides to the space with the bamboo poles and vegetable seeds.
Xu Yi propped the shelf on top of the tarpaulin, and dried it, so that when he came in tomorrow, the seeds should be able to be dried, and then he could choose the next seed and sow it again.
As for the scattered ones on the ground in the old lady's house, I will just get up early tomorrow morning and clean up the house, and I will take this opportunity to clean up the house thoroughly. It's been so long since I moved here, and I've never helped clean it seriously, which is a little too irresponsible.
Xu Yi turned his head to look at the cherry tree full of flowers on the edge of the tent, and remembered the cherries under the tree, he didn't have anything urgent to do at the moment, so he could take this opportunity to brew the cherry wine first.
After finding the two glass jars, cleaning them and placing them on the stovetop, Xu Yi went to collect the cherries to squeeze the juice.
Squeezing juice can be done anywhere, and it doesn't have to be in the space, but Xu Yi thought that the outside world was not as clean as the inside of the space. If you really look at it with a microscope, I am afraid that both the living room and the kitchen are extremely lively worlds, and in the fungus-ridden jungle, all kinds of worms and bacteria are also growing vigorously and healthily.
Really take the cherries out and deal with them. If you are not careful, you may bring the bacteria into the tank, and the alcohol content in the juice is not high enough to inhibit the growth of the bacteria at the beginning of fermentation. It's good to make vinegar from this wine, and it's not impossible to grow hair and stink. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many posts on the Internet asking about the various situations that occur in the winemaking process, and the details determine success or failure. And they undoubtedly didn't take care of the most important details at all.
When making wine in my hometown, I have to wash the special wine tank and then blanch it with boiling water before I can use it, which is also to control the number of miscellaneous bacteria to the lowest level, so as to ensure that the winemaking will not fail.
Although fermentation cannot be carried out in this space, it is possible to expose the juice to the air only the moment when you add alcohol and medicine to the jar, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the chance of being infected with miscellaneous bacteria. Now the temperature of this season is also more suitable for yeast reproduction, and my own cherries have enough sugar, with such a good premise, it can be said that unless you are particularly unlucky, you will basically not fail to make your own wine.
Xu Yi took a steel bucket and went to the tree to fill a bucket of cherries. In order to prevent contamination of the soil, Xu Yi didn't pick up the cherries on the ground at all, but just picked up the upper cherries and picked them into the bucket, he remembered that the little fox had drunk the water in the space, and the kind of Cheng dù on his back could be charged very quickly, who knows if the water turned into the soil will become the poison of yeast, if this is really the case, there will definitely be only one result of failure in making his own wine.
Moving the steel bucket to the stove, Xu Yi opened the lid of the glass jar, and then gave up the idea of pinching cherry juice directly into the jar.
The mouth of the glass jar is not small, enough for your own hand to reach into, but this repeated operation makes it difficult to prevent the juice from dripping to the outside of the jar.
The nutrient content of this cherry is too high, this is simply an excellent medium, if you can't wipe it clean, it is also easy to inoculate with miscellaneous bacteria, so when you open the jar, it is easy to bring the miscellaneous bacteria to the jar, or you can squeeze the juice first and then pour it into it is safer.
Xu Yi brought an empty bucket over again, and even pulled out two disposable gloves and put them on his hands, and then came out with a handful of cherries from the bucket.
Xu Yi put his hands on the empty bucket and clenched his hands vigorously, only to feel that his palms were cold, and the bright red juice seeped out from between his fingers and dripped down, and a sweet and sour cherry smell also spread.
Feeling that there were no complete cherries in his almost closed palm, Xu Yi let go of his hand and sprinkled the cherry peel and core in his hand into the empty bucket, and held another handful of cherries.
A bucket of cherries was consumed, and Xu Yi also got most of the barrel of juice mixed with the core and pulp.
Xu Yi picked up the steel bucket and shook it a few times, so that the inside of the bucket was evenly mixed, then poured it into a glass jar, and waited until Cheng Dù was eight minutes full before putting down the bucket, and then took some water from the large bucket. Wet the frosted edge of the lid of the glass jar before closing the jar. Then drip some water on the vent so that if the pressure inside the jar is high enough. Naturally, the glass ball inside the vent will be lifted up to expel the gas to avoid the danger of the tank being burst, and it will not give the outside gas a chance to enter the tank.
Then pour the remaining cherry juice into another jar, but only filled the jar with a small half can, Xu Yi had to use the steel bucket to fill some cherries back and continue to press, until this jar was also filled until it was eight minutes full, he didn't stop, cleaned the two steel buckets and put them back in the tent, and then prepared to carry the two jars out of the space.
Xu Yi put the jar on top of the stove. I went to take the yeast I bought, tore open the bag and added it to it, I wanted to find something clean and stir it, but I was afraid that these things I used were carrying miscellaneous bacteria, and the processor would be troublesome, so I went to the space and folded a bamboo branch, stretched it into the jar and stirred it, and then covered the lid and processed it. Xu Yi looked at the two crystal clear jars filled with bright red flesh, and couldn't help but think about the taste of this wine after it was brewed.
After admiring it for a while, Xu Yi picked up the jar and went up to the second floor. Put them in the bedroom on the west side, after all, this kitchen is on the shade side, and the temperature is not high enough at night. This brews too slowly.
And no one will come into this house except himself. I only need to come and stir it every few days to make the wine ferment evenly and consistently. Time will take care of the rest.
Xu Yi returned to the kitchen, filled the rice cooker with half a load of tap water, then poured all the leftover edamame beans into the pot, added a little salt to the water, covered the pot, and let it cook slowly.
Xu Yi is not worried about whether he will boil the pot dry, after all, it will not take long for him to finish his work, and maybe the water will not boil when he comes out.
Pulling out a knife from the knife holder, Xu Yi entered the space again, ready to plant both potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Of course, there are not many of these things, Xu Yi only bought three or five catties of everything, he didn't dare to pick a big one to buy, if that's the case, I'm afraid that this one can be bought at most three or five.
Xu Yi took the vegetable basket, brought the potatoes and sweet potatoes over, squatted on the ground, and looked at the sprouts with a knife to break the potatoes and sweet potatoes into small pieces.
Anyway, it doesn't rain in the space, Xu Yi simply didn't even hit the ridges, and directly hooked straight shallow ditches on the ground, in fact, there is no need to fertilize in this space, and there is no need to sow strips at all, just dig pits and sow directly, but Xu Yi feels that digging pits is more strenuous, and it is better to dig shallow ditches directly and plant them directly according to the outside practice.
After all, there are too few sprouts, and after planting all the two things, they are only planted for a short ridge, but planting potatoes in the space is equivalent to planting in a greenhouse, but I am afraid that there is no such high-end greenhouse anywhere in the world. Xu Yi checked that if the potatoes are planted in the greenhouse, they can be harvested in a month and a half at most, and if they finish cleaning tomorrow, they are afraid that it will be close to noon, and it will be almost half a month in this space, and if they wait for a while, they will definitely be able to eat, just wait for it to bloom, and they can dig some small potatoes to eat.
Although the growth period of sweet potatoes is a little longer, but this thing has no fixed growth period, and it can be dug out for two months after planting, even if the yield is reduced? You can continue to plant it when you dig it yourself, and even if you don't want to dig sweet potatoes, you can also pick some tender sweet potato seedlings to fry and eat.
By the time of harvest, I would have cut down all these trees a long time ago, and at that time, except for what I left to eat and what I was going to make starch, I would just plant the rest by myself, and when I harvested again, I am afraid that even if I eat one and throw one away, I will not be able to eat it all.
Of course, there has been a lesson of ginger watering and flowering but not ginger, Xu Yi did not water sweet potatoes and potatoes again, just covered them with soil and finished it, these two things are not only to breed, otherwise who is full of nothing to let it bloom, especially for sweet potatoes This thing is self-infertile, who knows if these are a variety, if so, it is difficult to ensure that it is not a vegetative propagation of seedlings and then expand production, so that all of these varieties are likely to be just a plant, in this way, flowering can bear fruit before seeing the hell。
Looking up, looking at the ginger that was still not growing too well, Xu Yi went directly out of the space. (To be continued......)
