Chapter 172: The Butcher
readx; "Five buckets of glutinous rice, take five liters and wash it, and steam the rice ......"
Seeing that the koji had been completed, Hu Shijiu was even more energetic in the room of the wine garden, while silently reciting the steps of winemaking, at the same time, her hands kept washing the rice and steaming it into wine and rice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Immediately after, Hu Shijiu washed four buckets and five liters of glutinous rice and put them in the urn. The steamed sake rice is served in a bucket and placed on top of the raw rice along with the rice bowl, and the two types of rice are mixed and then soaked in five buckets of water.
After doing this series of things, she raised her ** hand and wiped the sweat with her sleeve, and the edge of her sleeve was also wet, but this feeling made people feel cool.
Next, as long as two days have passed, quietly wait for the wine and rice in this urn to emit a fermented sour aroma, and then you need to carry out the next steps.
So far, everything has been going according to its own plan, which may be a blessing in disguise.
"Nineteen brothers!" Jiang Qing greeted loudly outside the door, and in the wine garden, the winemakers of each wine master have different winemaking skills. Therefore, even if he is familiar with Jiang Qing, he still follows this point, and at the same time, in order to avoid being truthful, he only greets Hu Shijiu outside the door at lunch every day.
"Brother Jiang." Hu Shijiu wiped his hands and opened the door and walked out.
"How's your preparation?" Seeing that there was no one beside him, Jiang Qing asked in a low voice.
"So far, it's going well."
The house where Jiang Qing was assigned in the restaurant was directly opposite Hu Shijiu's.
Therefore, just in case, Hu Shijiu dined with them every day, so that he could still see his house.
"It's good if it goes well." Jiang Qing didn't say much, just warmly greeted Hu Shijiu to take the seat.
Over there, Wu Houde, who was dining alone, saw this scene, first frowned and was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled disdainfully. "But they're all inferior people." The sommelier from the Tingqin Restaurant flattered him with a pot of wine, "You can taste it, this is our family's new brew." ā
Wu Houde watched the other party pour the light green wine into the glass in fear, he picked up the wine glass and paused. Then he sneered: "This thing is also worthy of being called 'wine'?"
He raised his hand and poured the wine from the cup to the ground: "It's a pity to have such a cup."
The man dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, endured it, and looked at Wu Houde fixedly on the side.
"How. If there is any more like this, just throw it all out! ā
As he spoke, he threw down the bamboo chopsticks and walked away. The guys from Xinghualou, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward in turn and ate the leftovers on the table.
"Hey! I said you were all starving ghosts reincarnated! "This way. Jiang Qing smiled and scolded his own tricks.
"There's no way, there's a lot of work here, and the food is not good, if you don't eat more, you'll starve to death before you get back to our house!" The guys replied with a hippie smile, but the bamboo chopsticks in their hands did not stop.
"Brother Nineteen, I'm smiling at you." Although Jiang Qing was scolding them, he still pushed the dishes in front of him that barely moved to those naughty guys.
Seeing this, Hu Shijiu hurriedly delivered the food in front of him to those guys.
"It's going to break us!" Those guys were quite knowledgeable, and they hurriedly stood aside with their rice bowls. Jiang Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration.
"Brother Jiang. Why don't you eat it? Hu Shijiu saw that the dishes in front of Jiang Qing barely moved a few times.
"This ......" Jiang Qing sighed, just pouring wine one by one.
Seeing this, Hu Shijiu also put down the bamboo chopstick, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Jiang Qingdao with concern: "Brother Jiang has something to say."
"Hey!" Jiang Qing put down the wine glass, and was about to open his mouth but shook his head and said, "Wine can relieve worries and add to sorrows!" ā
This is not like the wine master Jiang who is always quick to talk.
"Dare to ask Brother Jiang whether the wine in his hand relieves or adds to his worries?" What could be the hell that annoyed the bold man in front of him so much?
"I'm ashamed," Jiang Qing raised his head and poured another cup of wine. Picked up a clean cup and filled it, "Nineteenth brother, see how my wine is brewed?" ā
Pale green liquor. There was still a layer of white foam floating on it, Hu Shijiu took the cup, this wine, in terms of quality, has fallen inferior. Even before she even ate it, she knew that such wine was in the market. It can't be sold at a good price, let alone in a huge wine fighting conference full of talents.
However, looking at Jiang Qing's expectant eyes, Hu Shijiu still picked up the cup and drank it all!
"How?" Jiang Qing asked urgently.
Hu Shijiu put down the cup, thought for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "Brother Jiang, it's okay for our brothers to drink this wine, but if it is ...... at the wine fighting conference"
She tried to use the most euphemistic words as much as possible, for fear of stabbing Jiang Qing's self-esteem.
Jiang Qing was not surprised, but smiled bitterly: "What the virtuous brother said is extremely true!"
Could it be that he is suffering for this?
At this time, there are pairs of swallows flying past the water in the garden.
Jiang Qing's gaze followed them all the way into the distance.
Hu Shijiu's eyes were also attracted by the pair of swallows, the lush forests and bamboos in this wine garden, like a fence, trapping every winemaker who was eager to win in it.
Hu Shijiu suddenly missed the days when he was a partner in the drunkard building.
"Hey......" The two of them looked into the distance and sighed in unison.
Hu Shijiu laughed first, how can life just stay in remembrance of the past.
She looked at Jiang Qing and said with a smile: "Big brother is worried about not being able to get a ranking in the wine fighting conference?"
"Yes, it's not ......" Jiang Qing said this vaguely, and even he couldn't listen to it.
He slapped his thigh and said, "If it weren't for my lady, Jiang wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this wine fight!"
"Oh, Mrs. Sister-in-law, she ......" A few days ago, I was still envious of their deep relationship between husband and wife, but why is Brother Jiang so embarrassed at this time?
"She's fine!" Jiang Qing picked up the wine jug and filled it for herself, but her eyes were a little red, "She has suffered a lot with me......"
Hu Shijiu nodded as if he didn't understand.
"You also know that if it weren't for her, Jiang would still be a butcher now." He poured another glass to himself, and threw it heavily on the table.
"But, in the eyes of her brother, I will always be just a butcher!"
Having said this, Hu Shijiu completely understood.
In order to make his wife happy, Jiang Qing studied hard to make wine, and even got the opportunity to participate in the wine fighting conference.
However, because of the "Murong Wine Master", no matter how hard he tried, the Murong clan's wine-making skills were unsurpassable.
"Just do your best......" Hu Shijiu understood Jiang Qing's distress and comforted him.
"Try your best......" Jiang Qing shook his head, and smiled at Hu Jiujiu again, he was half drunk, his eyes were red, "Am I not trying my best enough?" For the past two years, I've almost slept with wine cakes in my arms! (To be continued.) )
