Chapter 117: Winemaking (Part 3)
The meal was not finished until almost evening, and everyone drank a little high, and their voices couldn't help but fight, expressing the joy in their hearts. After drinking nearly a pound of wine, Zhang Taiping's brain was also a little wooden, but when he went out of the door of the village chief's house, the cold wind blew outside, and his mind suddenly became sober again. The two big dogs behind him also ate a lot, and each of them had a bulging belly.
Back at home, Cai Yazhi was already preparing dinner with Xingrushui, the TV set in Fifty Miles was on, a group of children were made in front, and Zhang Taiping's house was warm and not afraid of freezing feet. It's just that he didn't see Yaya. When I came to the middle yard, I saw her and Fan Ming getting together, looking at the rabbit in a cardboard box.
After Fan Ming brought the little rabbit back, he hurriedly found a cardboard box, first spread a layer of wheat straw in it, and then spread felt grass on it, this kind of grass is very widely used in mountain villages, when building a house, it will be laid on the lowest layer under the roof tiles, which is both windproof and warm. Fan Ming spread a layer, soft and soft, the most warm.
As soon as Yaya saw the white rabbit that Fan Ming brought back, she liked it, and she didn't watch the TV, so she got together with Fan Ming to feed the rabbit. It's just that no matter how the two people feed it, the little rabbit doesn't eat it.
Seeing Zhang Taiping coming in, Yaya hurriedly shouted: "Dad, come and see, why doesn't the little rabbit eat?" ”
Zhang Taiping stood in front of him and looked at it, he couldn't help crying and laughing, what were they fed, biscuits, fruits, steamed buns, only a small piece of carrot was still reliable, but this little rabbit was still too small and its teeth might not have grown together, of course it couldn't eat this kind of hard thing.
Zhang Taiping said: "It's not right to feed these, you have to feed some tender grass or vegetable leaves." ”
When Fan Ming heard this, she suddenly realized, got up and ran towards the back room, and after a while, she took out a big cabbage. Peel off the dried old leaves on the outside, take out the core in the center, break off a piece and gently put it on the side of the rabbit's mouth, afraid to scare it.
The little rabbit sniffed, opened its three-petaled lips, and bit it and ate it. Fan Ming jumped up happily when she saw this, covering her mouth for fear that the cry would scare the little rabbit who was eating. Yaya also tore off a young leaf and put it to its mouth.
Zhang Taiping asked, "What name did you give her?" ”
"Xiaoyu." Yaya replied. "Is that a good name?" Fan Ming asked.
"The whole body is as white as jade, called Xiaoyu, not bad." Zhang Taiping returned.
The two of them were full of pride when they heard Zhang Taiping's praise, and the name was discussed by the two.
"Brother Zhang, make a nest for Xiaoyu, this cardboard box is not strong." Fan Ming pointed to the cardboard box where the rabbit was placed and said.
Zhang Taiping said: "Okay, let's make it tomorrow." ”
For dinner, there was a rabbit and a pheasant brought back at noon, and they showed their hands like water, and they did a good job, but Zhang Taiping only moved a few chopsticks slightly, and he really ate a lot at the village chief's house, and the time interval was too short. At that time, I drank a lot of chicken soup stewed with monkey brain mushrooms picked in the mountains. Monkey brain mushroom as the name suggests like a monkey's head, delicious taste, nutritious, no one has been able to successfully artificially cultivate, in the mountains is also occasionally lucky to meet, because the growth conditions are too harsh, there are too many accidental factors.
Early the next morning, Zhang Taiping went to the back room and took out several large wine jars stored in the south room, and did not wash them outside, but directly went to the study and closed the door to the space.
The jar is cleaned outside, so that when people see it, it is not good to take it out at any time. When they arrived in the space, the bees and butterflies in the space were busy at a glance, and they didn't have much reaction to Zhang Taiping's appearance, and the honeycomb had now become very large, as big as the one hanging on the tree that I saw in the mountains. It looked a little scary, but Zhang Taiping could feel that none of this hurt him, he tried to get a few steps closer like a giant honeycomb, but the bee still ignored him, as if he didn't exist.
To be honest, if a person sees such a huge honeycomb, his scalp will be numb. Although Zhang Taiping has a high force value, thick skin and thick flesh, and he is not afraid of beating, but how to say that he is still a person, not to the point of invulnerability, and he can't block the fine thorns of bees, so Zhang Taiping is also a little frightened.
But in the current situation, my worries are a bit redundant. He took a few more steps closer to the honeycomb, but the madman ignored it until his hands touched the honeycomb. At this moment, the queen bee living in the hive flew out and stopped on the back of Zhang Taiping's hand, followed by a large group of escorts, densely wrapping Zhang Taiping's arm. Mrs. Zhang stood quietly and did not move, nor did a bee sting him.
Zhang Taiping realized for a while that this may be another function of the space, he is the master of the space, and the things and animals placed in it have their own ownership, and these animals will not do any harm to themselves.
When the queen bee flew back to the hive, Zhang Taiping carried several large jars to the edge of the spring to clean the jars.
No matter how many times you have seen the spring water, every time you come, you will have an urge to drink it freely, thanks to the space spring water is good for the body, Zhang Taiping picked up a pinch and drank it, sweet and fresh, making people feel refreshed.
After the jar was cleaned and set aside to dry first, Zhang Taiping began to pick the fruit.
There are many varieties of fruit trees in the space, and the most grape vines are there. There is also the longan tree is the tallest, the top is full of fruits, put it outside is a rare harvest, this year to take the fruit may be tired of the fruit tree, next year's yield will be surprisingly low. But these conditions do not appear in the space, so Zhang Taiping did not thin the flowers when the fruit trees bloomed, almost every flower grew into fruits, and the appearance of each fruit was different, not particularly superior to the others, nor inferior to the others, because they were all superb.
They brought in five jars, three large and two small. Zhang Taiping is ready to make two large jars of wine, which should be the easiest to make and the most popular. Then a large jar of strawberry wine, a small jar of cherry wine and a small jar of cider are made.
Wine is widely brewed, the technology is the most mature, and Zhang Taiping searched for the most information on the Internet the day before yesterday.
First pick the grapes, and then pick them one by one, and then clean them and put them in boiling water to eliminate poison on both sides, and there can be no other army in the process of brewing, otherwise it is not making wine but cultivating bacteria, glucose is the best nutrition for bacterial growth.
Zhang Taiping did not use hot water to disinfect, but only cleaned it a few times with space spring water, and he was confident that there would be no bacteria and viruses in it.
The cleaned grape grains are placed in one place to dry and then packed in the same jar, and each layer of grape grains is placed with a layer of rock sugar. After the jar is full, add some liquor to it as an introduction. The reason why the jar and grape particles are required to be dried is because he is afraid of the presence of bacteria in the water, and there are absolutely no bacteria in the space spring water. In a certain sense, the space spring is no longer just water, and due to its many effects, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairy spring. The back body is a kind of immortal wine with many functions, and adding it to the wine will only have many benefits, and the wine brewed at that time will also bring some of the effects of the space spring water.
After these processes, the lid of the jar is closed, then wrapped in brown paper, and then mud sealed. In this way, it is good to wait for the fermentation for a period of time to filter out the residue inside, and then settle some more.
Zhang Taiping completed the brewing of two large jars of grapes in a row before he stopped to breathe a sigh.
There are many ways to make wine on the Internet, and there are a lot of them when you search for them, and they are easy to make. As for the rest, there are a lot less, and cherry brewing has not even been heard of.
I've heard of apple cider vinegar and has a weight loss effect. Zhang Taiping is a person who has gone to college, and he still understands the transformation of wine and vinegar, and what can make vinegar can also make wine, but whether it is brewing achievement or vinegar depends on the method and proportion. There is a joke in the village, someone once learned that the liquor sold was made from grain, so he also used grain to make wine, but the brewed white vinegar was white and clear that could sour the big teeth, and it could only be used as white vinegar, which was passed down as a joke in the village at that time.
After that, Zhang Taiping also brewed a large jar of strawberry wine and cider according to the method found on the Internet. He didn't find a way to make cherries, so he did it according to the grape method, anyway, the flesh of the two is about the same, try it first.
After getting it, five jars, Zhang Taiping did not rush to move out, the fruit fermentation also takes time, it is undoubtedly the fastest to put it in the space, now put it in the space for a few days, quite a few months, and then filter the clear and translucent finished product to take it out and put it in the cellar, and when you drink it, you can take it out of the cellar, and it will not arouse the suspicion of others.
The five jars of brewing only used a small part of the fruit, most of them were still hanging on the branches, the jars were a little less, and Zhang Taiping had no choice but to wait for the time to go up to the town and buy some jars to continue brewing after coming back, and now he could only put it down first.
Out of the space, out of the study, although Xing Rushui did not understand Zhang Taiping in the early morning in the study with the door closed, but still did not ask much, in this courtyard, only the study can not be entered, and the people in the courtyard also seem to have acquiesced to this rule, and they will not enter the study at will if there is nothing to do.
