Chapter 163: Brewing Glutinous Rice Wine
Ouyang Mingmei followed Qu Chengsheng and came to the kitchen.
Qu Chengsheng stood in front of the kitchen counter in the middle of the kitchen and instructed the maid on the side to find the ingredients and wait for the ingredients to be gathered.
While packing up the ingredients, Qu Chengsheng explained to Ou Yangmingmei: "Wine brewing is the so-called wine lady of Jiangnan people. Once upon a time, women in the south would brew a glutinous rice wine on their own. "Tune Ding Ji? There is a record in "Baijiu Niang", saying, "A bucket of white glutinous rice, wash it with cold water in summer, soak it overnight, pick it up and steam it the next day, don't pour it out, pour it into the retort with cold water until the temperature is a degree, and pour it into a flat tank to cool." Use three white wine medicines, mash them like powder, spread the bibimbap, open a pot of holes in the rice, and then use one crushed white medicine. Grits around the nest. The cylinder is covered with a wrapper. For three days, there is wine in its nest, that is, it becomes a wine lady. ’
Steaming means steaming with a slight seasoning of the main ingredient without adding other ingredients and heavy condiments. All steamed dishes pay special attention to the freshness of the raw materials. If you want to make steamed duck, most of them should be paired with wine, just because the duck meat is slightly fishy, and if you steam it with wine, you can remove the fishy. Therefore, most of the duck dishes in Jiangnan are seasoned with wine! ”
"Can you make your own glutinous rice wine?" Ouyang Mingmei, who was standing next to watching Qu Chengsheng clean up the ducks, asked curiously.
"You can also brew it yourself, and there is also freshly bought glutinous rice wine in the supermarket!" Qu Chengsheng replied.
"Then I'll brew it myself!" After thinking about it, Ouyang Mingmei said with a smile: "It doesn't seem difficult to hear you say!" ”
Ouyang Mingmei thought that it was quite simple, this wine-brewed duck listened to the wine-brewed duck was the focus, if she was lazy to bypass the wine-brewing, it seemed a little unreasonable.
This time I made a bet with Leng Rui, at least I would convince him to lose.
When Qu Chengsheng heard this, he nodded with a smile and replied, "If Miss thinks it's okay, just try it!" ”
"Yes!" Ouyang Mingmei nodded, and after answering: "You tell me the request, and I'll start brewing it now, okay?" ”
"Yes!" Qu Chengsheng nodded hurriedly, and said: "Because the current conditions are more convenient, there is no need to be like "Diao Ding Ji?" The white wine lady is so troublesome, first wash the glutinous rice and control the drying. The top drawer is steamed, cooled and mixed with red or white wine, but evenly. Then put it in the container and compact, leaving 1/3 of the void in the middle. Cover and keep warm at 35 degrees to 40 degrees, and ferment for 8 to 12 hours. ”
So, one afternoon, Ouyang Mingmei was brewing glutinous rice wine in the kitchen under Qu Chengsheng's guidance.
It's been a long time since Mama Feng has seen Ouyang Mingmei doing something so enthusiastically, so she can't help but peek into the kitchen with curiosity.
Qiqi, who came back from outside, saw Mama Feng's curious look, and couldn't help but smile and stepped forward, suddenly raised her voice, and asked, "Mama Feng, what are you looking at?" ”
"Qiqi, don't be surprised!" Feng's mother, who was taken aback by Qiqi, frowned and reprimanded in a low voice.
"Oh!" Qiqi answered.
"You go to the kitchen and see Miss, as soon as she comes back, she will be cooking in the kitchen!" Feng's mother commanded in a low voice.
"What did the young lady cook?" Qiqi's eyes widened curiously, and then he went straight to the kitchen without thinking.
In the kitchen, standing in front of the steaming drawer, Ouyang Mingmei, who was sweating on the smoked floor, was a little worried that the wine would not be brewed, after all, it would take eight to twelve hours to ferment at that time, and if it failed, wouldn't it be in vain?
"Master Qu, you also said that this fermentation rate is not 100 percent, otherwise, how about we get more glutinous rice and brew more?"
