Master Gao circled around Dongqiao like a bee, and every time Dongqiao took out something, he would go up and touch it, looking very expectant.

Although it was meant to make sake, the things that Higashibashi took out had nothing to do with the word sake. Master Gao patiently watched as he took out a bunch of unnamed utensils, but the glutinous rice and koji used for sake brewing were completely missing.

He hurriedly circled around the East Bridge, and when he saw that the East Bridge was just busy fiddling with those utensils, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that you want to make wine?" Do you want me to get some grain? Or shall I get some fruit? What about grapes? ”

"There's no need for any of these things." Dongqiao skillfully set up the utensils, and then took the bamboo basket and went to the back door.

Master Gao hurriedly followed, and saw that Dongqiao was digging there, although he didn't know what he wanted the soil for, but in order to be able to drink, he followed and worked hard to dig up the soil.

Xiuxiu, who came out to scoop up the water, blinked and looked at Dongqiao and Master Gao who were squatting there, but it was only a moment of effort, and the ground had already been dug out of a big hole by them.

"Sister Tsing Yi, are we going to do it today?" Xiuxiu's face didn't bother to wash, so she ran to Tsing Yi and asked, "I saw Master Gao and Dongqiao digging a lot of soil at the back door!" ”

"They're going to make wine!" Tsing Yi had to tell Xiuxiu, "So I'm afraid Dongqiao won't have time to make you snacks to eat these days, so you have to be patient for a few days!" ”

"Ahh Three days? ”

"How can it be so fast." Tsing Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "If you don't say it, it will take ten days and a half months." ”

Xiuxiu pouted more and more, full of displeasure.

"Don't be upset." Tsing Yi gently touched Xiuxiu's head and said softly, "Will I make you steamed cakes when I go back?" ”

"What's so delicious about steamed cakes?" Hei Saburo held an empty plate with one hand and walked over slowly, "It's not as good as meat." ”

As soon as Tsing Yi heard this, she knew that Hei Saburo must be hungry again, and Xiuxiu looked at her with expectant eyes, so she put down what she was doing and went to the kitchen to prepare snacks.

All the ingredients in the kitchen are there, and the freshly killed animals have been deboned and peeled and cut into pieces of meat, and all Tsing Yi needs to do is cook.

The jar with rice wine was placed under the table, Tsing Yi opened the lid, scooped two spoonfuls of wine from the full jar, and then carefully sealed the mouth of the jar with the lid.

After slicing the meat with coarse salt, she marinated it in rice wine mixed with ginger and garlic, and wrapped it in gauze to make it taste faster.

Just as she was busy kneading the dough, Dongqiao and Master Gao came in with a large basket of mud.

Tsing Yi quickly glanced at Dongqiao, and saw that Dongqiao dug a piece of mud with his bare hands and began to rub it on the still he had built.

He smeared it with great care, repeatedly applying three or five layers of mud to each place, until the surface was extremely smooth, and then he stopped.

Master Gao didn't know what to brew, he just squatted to the side and watched, only when Dongqiao stopped, he thoughtfully handed over a bucket of water for Dongqiao to wash his hands.

Dongqiao washed his hands, picked up another knife and walked out, and the confused master Gao shouted to catch up, and wanted to help. Dongqiao checked the knife in his hand, thought about it and stuffed the knife into Master Gao's hand, and then said: "Trouble Master Gao to kill two animals for me, I want a fat and strong white pig, just call me if I kill it." ”

"Killing pigs, that's easy." Master Gao took the knife and asked curiously, "But what do you want pork for?" Pork is not needed to make wine. ”

Higashibashi didn't explain why, just quietly bent over to fiddle with his still.

Master Gao scratched his head helplessly, and muttered to kill two fat pigs to hand over to Dongqiao.

By the time Tsing Yi steamed the steamed cake and stewed a pot of meat, an hour had passed, but Dongqiao at the other end was still busy cutting meat pieces.

Tsing Yi really didn't understand what Dongqiao was doing, so he asked Hei Saburo a few words, and Hei Saburo just smiled and shook his head, and didn't explain to her.

Tsing Yi was curious, and after half a day, he still couldn't help but look at the progress of the East Bridge. Unexpectedly, Higashibashi was not in the kitchen, leaving only the still with a muddy paste that was whining and steaming.

White steam filled almost the entire kitchen, and Tsing Yi could smell the strong smell of wine as soon as he entered the door.

"So fast?" Surprised, she raised her sleeve to dissipate the steam in front of her, and leaned closer to the distiller to take a closer look.

The distilled liquor flows into the last crockpot through the slender pipes, which are very clear at first glance. She tentatively dipped a little wine on her fingertips and tasted it, and was surprised to find that the wine in the jar was already extremely mellow liquor.

"Strange? How can you make such a mellow liquor in just half a day? A shocked Tsing Yi looked around, and soon found a large wooden barrel in the corner of the kitchen, which looked similar to the wooden barrel used for brewing.

She took a long breath, then carefully lifted the lid from the barrel.

But there was no wine in the barrels, and there were only pork that was more than half a barrel high.
