009: Stupid
Fusang listened to Jiu Niang's words, and instantly lowered his face, looking at Jiu Niang's unwilling face: "Senior sister, you really don't know? ”
Jiu Niang shook her head honestly.
Fusang sighed: "Yulong Fang! Yecheng's famous Yulon Fang!! What kind of life have you been living all these years? ”
Somehow, Jiu Niang suddenly felt bored and said angrily: "The days I lived? Naturally, I was thinking about how to be fed, clothed, and not beaten, and I couldn't imagine the life of your boy. ”
Fusang was stunned, his face was slightly red, and he looked at Jiuniang and said embarrassedly: "Senior sister, I don't mean that, I ......" Fusang's eyes suddenly fell on the book of "Wine Classic" on the table, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Senior sister, is this what the master gave you?" ”
Jiuniang followed Fusang's eyes and nodded.
"Senior sister, go and read a book, and I'll help you make the bed and clean up the house." Fusang grinned at Jiu Niang.
Jiuniang rolled her eyes: "I'll just come by myself, I'm not used to others cleaning up for me." ”
"Senior sister?" Fuso shouted tentatively again.
Jiu Niang glanced at him and didn't make a sound.
"You're still angry?" Fusang pulled Jiu Niang, suddenly smiled, and stuffed something into Jiu Niang's hand, "Senior sister, give it." ”
Jiuniang was stunned, lowered her head and looked at the small sachet in her hand, the stitches were very delicate, and it looked like the workmanship was very haode. Jiuniang couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?" ”
"Don't you like to smell wine? There are a lot of herbs added to this sachet, and when you feel uncomfortable, just smell it. Fuso grinned and smiled very honestly.
Jiuniang pursed her lips and said softly, "Senior Brother Xiexie." ”
"Hehe, then you hurry up and clean up, I'll come back in the evening and call you for dinner." Fusang smiled and touched his head, turned around and ran away.
Jiuniang stood at the door and looked, the direction in which Fusang ran seemed to be the rice house in the backyard? Well, they're called a stove here. It seems that Fusang is also a cook, and in the future, he really doesn't have to get up early and cook three meals a day like in Xiahe Village.
Turned around and glanced at the things in the room, there was nothing to clean up, the bedding was laid out, and the floor of the window lattice table was wiped again, Jiu Niang picked up the book that Gu Hua had given herself before, and sat down by the window.
Koji in this era is not measurable by technology as it is in modern times, and many things are based on feeling and experience. For people like Jiu Niang, who don't know anything about wine, looking at this "Book of Wine" is somewhat fantastical, and ...... I don't know a lot of words......
For example, in the first chapter, we will talk about the raw materials of koji, which are divided into koji and tillers. What is this tiller? Don't know at all, okay? There is also a song ...... What is a song? Isn't koji the koji it says?
I turned over two more pieces of paper, and what wheat koji rice koji red yeast black rice yeast
Jiu Niang wailed, and the whole person was buried in the quilt.
When it was time to eat in the evening, Jiu Niang was restless. Fusang scratched his head and asked with some uneasiness, "Is the food I made not to your liking?" ”
"No, my brother's cooking is delicious." Jiu Niang grinned.
"And are you wearing clothes that are uncomfortable?" Fusang looked at Jiuniang again, frowned and asked.
Gu Huacheng glanced up at Fusang, and then looked at Jiu Niang: "But what do you not understand?" ”
Jiuniang nodded vigorously.
Gu Huacheng turned his head, put a large number of chopsticks on the plate and put it in Jiuniang's bowl: "Let's eat first, after eating, I'll teach you." ”
"Hmm." Jiu Niang nodded vigorously, smiled at Gu Huacheng, lowered her head and began to pick up rice.
After eating, Jiu Niang habitually reached out to clean up the things on the table, but was stopped by Gu Huacheng.
"Let Fuso go, where do you not understand?"
"Oh." Jiuniang nodded, turned around and went back to her room, took out the "Book of Wine", and blushed when she turned to the first chapter: "Master, I don't know a lot of words......"
Gu Huacheng seemed stunned for a moment, sat down at the stone table and glanced up at Jiu Niang, and asked, "You haven't read or written?" ”
"Yes, but it's self-taught." Jiu Niang is not happy to say that she is illiterate, but in the final analysis, most of her true heart is guessed by guessing this ancient word, and if you can't guess it, you really don't know it.
“…… It doesn't matter, the teacher will teach you. Gu Huacheng smiled and pulled Jiuniang to sit beside him, "What words don't you know?" ”
"This." Jiu Niang pointed to the tiller word, looking embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's normal that you don't recognize this word. People who don't make sake generally don't come across this word. Gu Huacheng nodded and told the brewery, "Tiller is a raw material for making koji." ”
"What about the song? Isn't it koji? Jiu Niang held her cheeks and blinked.
Gu Huacheng glanced at her and nodded: "Koji is koji, wine koji is koji, it's not a thing." Koji and tiller are compared side by side. Generally, we use rice and wheat to make koji, which is called rice koji and barley koji. If the grain is moldy, it is called koji, and if it sprouts, it is called tiller. ”
"What if it didn't have mold or sprout?" Jiuniang broke the casserole and asked to the end.
"......" Gu Huacheng twitched the corners of his mouth, held his forehead and sighed, "Then you won't be able to make koji." ”
"Hehe, Master, is my sister much dumber than I was back then?" Fusang, who finished brushing the bowl, leaned on the courtyard door with a smile and looked at Jiuniang with a smug face.
"Did Senior Brother understand the difference between qu and tiller at that time?" Jiu Niang was a little curious.
Fusang's face burned and he scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hehe, hehe, I was ...... at that time At that time, I didn't know as many words as my sister, I was just ...... I didn't ask you such a stupid question. ”
"That's not stupid, Fusang, your junior sister's question is actually very good. Problems can be solved, and you have to learn from your junior sister in this regard. Gu Huacheng shook his head, got up and walked to Fusang's side, patted Fusang's shoulder, and asked, "Fusang, may you talk to your junior sister about how to make music?" ”
“…… Weishenme, I'm going to talk about it? Fuso frowned.
"Senior brother, you can't say it, right?" Jiu Niang chattered.
Fusang glared at Jiu Niang: "Your senior brother, I am the one who can make wine alone, you actually question my level?" ”
"I don't want your junior sister to question you, so I'll tell your junior sister." Gu Huacheng frowned.
Fusang gritted his teeth and nodded: "Just say it!" Senior sister, I'll tell you the simplest one. Raw wheat is steamed with water, pounded, and then koji is mixed into the rice dough and beaten firmly. Just put it in the vat where we make koji and wait. ”
"......" Jiuniang glanced at Gu Huacheng in confusion.
"What do you see Master doing?" Fuso frowned.
"I ...... Didn't understand. ”
