92. The first jar of wine in prehistory
As soon as everyone came back, they were warmly greeted by the clansmen, some threw Kun in the air, and some hugged it, all of them expressed their feelings anyway. Guan Lin saw that everyone was in full swing, and just wanted to go back quietly, but a large group of people knelt down, and kept shouting gods, which made Guan Lin very uncomfortable.
Guan Lin, who returned to the tribe first, came to the Xianghe River with two big beasts, and the super cat hadn't eaten fish for a few days, so he probably thought about it in a panic, so he actually walked this way. The red cat that watched the super cat eat couldn't help but eat tentatively in the end, and only after eating this meal did he know that the fish was delicious, so he also devoured it like a super cat, and was touched by Guan Lin several times when he ate.
Guan Lin, who finally returned to her house, immediately smelled a smell, a very familiar smell. Could it be that this smells of wine? It's impossible, how can it taste like wine, it's not scientific! Guan Lin began to look in the room with a mind full of questions, to see where the smell came from.
It turned out to be sent out here! Guan Lin followed the smell and finally found it, which turned out to be the smell wafting out of the jar. The jars were all ordinary clay pots, stacked one on top of the other, for a total of four or five. Guan Lin opened the top jar, and a strong smell of wine came out of the jar at the bottom, the jar was filled with fruits, which were given by the tribe before the exchange, and they were put in the jar before they were eaten.
Wine is a culture. Li Bai has Yaxing who raised his glass to invite Mingyue, and Su Shi has the mind to ask Qingtian for wine. Ouyang Xiu has the heroism of drinking a thousand cups of confidants, and Cao Cao has the desolation of life when he sings about wine. Du Fu has the chic of singing and drinking during the day, and returning home with youth. For 5,000 years, Greater China is a wine culture and a wine history. In the land of China throughout the ages, how many things have been made and lost by wine.
Greater China is the homeland of wine, the birthplace of wine culture, and one of the earliest countries in the world to make wine. The brewing of wine has a long history in Greater China. In the thousands of years of civilization development, the development of wine and culture has basically gone hand in hand. It can be said that if there was no wine brewed at that time, there would not be such a splendid culture, and without wine, there would not be so many literati.
There are many theories about the appearance of wine, some say that it originated from ancient times and the Shennong era, and the Jin people Jiangtong contained it in the "Wine Message": "The prosperity of wine is caused by the emperor's ......, there is no end to the food, the surplus is empty, the accumulation is flavorful, and the gas is fragrant for a long time." For this reason, it is not up to the odd side. "It means that cooked grains are thrown into the wild, and under certain natural conditions, they can be fermented into liquor on their own. Inspired by this natural fermentation of wine, people gradually invented artificial winemaking.
Guan Lin was not inspired by the leftover rice into wine, but it was crooked, it was really a coincidence, who could have known that a few fruits could be made out of wine after a few days in a jar, and this taste Guan Lin is very familiar, because Guan Lin also likes to drink very much, although this hobby is not very suitable for girls, but Guan Lin really likes it, and will drink some with relatives and friends.
In fact, in ancient times, people did not know much about grains, if there was wine, it should also be fruit wine, there are endless fruits in the wilderness, piled up in the impermeable cave where you live can be transformed into wine, if the primitive person accidentally drank it, there is a feeling that the taste is good, then the fruit wine appeared.
As for how this fruit is made into wine, this Guan Lin is not particularly clear, and he listens to and looks at it a little. Theoretically, any fruit that contains sugar can be used to make wine. Sugar alone is not enough, but also a microorganism, which is facultatively anaerobic, respirates aerobically and multiplies in large numbers under aerobic conditions, and anaerobic respiration in an anaerobic environment breaks down the sugars in the fruit into alcohol and water, so that wine appears. This microorganism is what we commonly call yeast, which is used in modern sake brewing, and is called koji.
Since it can be drunk, it means that there is already this kind of microorganism in this jar, as for how this microorganism came from, Guan Lin doesn't care about him, it will be used as koji in the future, I want to make a lot of wine, Guan Lin thought.
Thinking of making wine, Guan Lin seemed to see himself sitting comfortably at the table in the house, with several dishes on the table, including roasted sweet potatoes, sliced bamboo shoots, roasted pork legs, and boiled tofu...... There was a wine glass in front of him, which was full of a glass of fruit wine, smelling the fragrant fruit wine, Guan Lin stretched out his hand to hold the glass......
"Goddess Lin, the meal is ready, let's eat!" Guan Lin was dreaming of drinking fruit wine, and was called back by Leah's voice, it turned out that it was dinner time.
Guan Lin agreed, covered the jar and walked out, the two big beasts were estimated to be full, and they didn't follow Guan Lin when they saw them go, lying there licking each other's hair, what a happy couple. No matter how happy you are, you can't stay in your room, there is a super cat that can't feel it, and now there is a red cat, and the room has become a lot more crowded, Guan Lin has to walk around, or she will always worry about accidentally stepping on it. If more little super cats come out in the future, then this room will definitely not be able to fit. No, we have to build a home for them quickly, Guan Lin thought as she walked.
