Golden sunlight poured down from the distant horizon and passed through the canopy branches of the Yellow Horn Tree, forming countless golden spots on the ground. The breeze blew, the leaves rattled, and the golden spots of light swayed like a shattered dream.

Tu Zhen, Lei Lei and Ye Min also drove away from Hegu Village, looking at Lei Lei who was talking to Tu Zhen while eating wild fruits in the front row, looking at their elated appearance, Ye Min couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, when Yunyi sent them to the car, Ye Minqiang pretended not to care and waved his hand and was the first to get into the car. In a few days, that person quietly lived in his heart.

In the past few days, Yunyi has almost accompanied Tu Zhen and them to play, and he has not been to the winery, although Yao Kai is in charge, but Yunyi still wants to go and see, the time will soon be December, and he must get out all the wine used at the wine fair.

When I came to the winery, I happened to meet Yao Kai who wanted to go to the workshop to have a look, and the two walked to the first workshop together.

The first workshop has been separately released by Yao Kai and is ready to be used to make some special wines.

The rice that was harvested not long ago has already begun to be distilled in the cellar, and today is the time for the first distillation.

In fact, there is a rather cumbersome process of brewing, the rice that is steamed on the same day, the rice and sorghum, wheat and other grains that are steamed and put in the cellar have to be fermented for more than half a month or even longer, and then they can be distilled once, and after a distillation, they must be distilled twice, and finally the mellow and sweet liquor is obtained.

When they came to the workshop, Yunyi and Yao Kai saw that the workers had already begun to move out the fermented lees from the cellar where the fermentation was stored and started to move out the lees of the fermentation last month, ready to be added to the distillation tank for a distillation.

After watching it for a while, Yao Kai soon became a little different.

In the past, when the distiller's lees were transferred to the distillation tank, although there was also a fragrance, but the aroma was faint, and today's distiller's lees are even more fragrant than the liquor brewed in the past.

Waving his hand to stop the operation of the worker holding the machine, he took the shovel in the hand of the worker next to him, and stirred the lees in the fermentation cellar.

According to experience, Yao Kai knows that this is in the process of winemaking, every link is not bad at all, and the temperature, humidity and other environments are well adjusted to get such sake lees. When distilled, the best sake lees not only produce a lot of wine, but also have a mellow taste, which can be regarded as a good wine.

At this time, Lao Liu (senior winemaking technician) walked up to Yunyi and explained to Yunyi: "When I worked in the previous winery, I listened to my master once speak; More than 10 years ago, they were able to make this from time to time. However, in recent years, the pressure on the cost of brewing has increased, and the winery has become aged grain, and the quality has been greatly reduced. It has been several years since the lees of this quality have been made. ”

"Lao Liu, you can also come and take a look!" In this case, Yao Kai naturally called the technician to take a look and find out the reason.

If such sake can be made in the future, not only will the yield increase, but the quality will also be much better, and it will be more conducive to the popularity of the river valley distillery's signboard.

Called over Chen Shan, the team leader who had been in charge of this cellar, Yao Kai said: "Think about it, what was every detail like at that time? ”

Lao Liu on the side also took a closer look, and even licked the lees, after tasting it, Lao Liu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

A few years ago, Lao Liu could occasionally make such a good product when he made wine, but in recent years, with the gradual decline in the quality of wine-making raw materials, he has not done it for a long time.

"......What was the situation?" Chen Shan fell into deep thought, trying to recall every detail of steaming grain, sprinkling koji, and going down to the cellar.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Shan still didn't show up, and this time there was no difference from the whole process when brewing normally. The degree of ripeness of the grain, the amount of koji, the temperature of the cellar......

"No, all the processes are the same as before, there is no difference." After thinking for a while, Chen Shan said.

Yao Kai couldn't think of a reason for a while, and then Chen Shan said: "Is it a problem with new varieties of rice?" There were no major changes before, the only difference was that when the grain was steamed, it was the second-crop rice that was harvested not long ago. ”

Hearing Chen Shan say this, Yun Yi faintly guessed the answer, this should not be the reason for the new variety of rice, it should be the relationship between "bioactive liquid", but he didn't expect that "bioactive liquid" can also be used to make wine.

Yao Kai on the side also vaguely guessed the answer, but he guessed that it should be a new variety of rice.

So Yao Kai hurriedly asked the workers to open the mud sealing of other cellar pools, and waited until the sealing mud of the remaining ten cellar pools was opened.

"Well... Good... Good...! Taro, it seems that the new variety of rice you let you plant is really a good thing! Yao Kai said happily.

Lao Liu on the side also hurriedly said to the workers: "From today onwards, let's record it carefully, and use the new varieties of rice to see if we can brew it again?" ”

Now that the reason has been found, Yao Kai no longer delayed, and immediately let the workers continue to work.

Soon, the workshop began to waft out a rich aroma of wine, like a gentle little hand gently rubbing everyone's heart, straight into the depths of the heart. For this kind of taste, Lao Liu has not seen it for more than ten years, so it seems very familiar and a little unfamiliar.

Yao Kai knows that if he can brew such a high-quality product every day, it will not only improve the output, but also promote sales.

"The wine made by Xiaoyi's distillery is getting more and more fragrant!" Li Dashuo, who was passing by the winery, sniffled and thought with some relief.

The first workshop of the distillery is close to the side of the village intersection, and the aroma of the sake brewed today is really a bit strong, and you can smell it from afar.

Duck blood glutinous, commonly known as "blood glutinous", is named because of its red color, especially like a drop of duck blood. During the Qing Dynasty, Changshu duck blood glutinous rice was listed as a tribute rice to the royal family, so it was also called "imperial rice".

Its rice grains are slender, red in color, and transparent. Compared with ordinary rice, it also has more effects such as nourishing blood and nourishing yin, strengthening the body and replenishing blood.

After working for most of the day, the workers finally distilled all the lees from this cellar, and the liquor was a faint red, which is also the color of "blood glutinous rice".

After the wine was mixed evenly, Yun Yi, Yao Kai and Lao Liu couldn't wait to scoop up half a cup and take a small sip.

Mellow and fragrant, there is no strong stimulation for the taste buds, after swallowing, like a warm current through the esophagus, into the stomach, very comfortable. In the mouth and throat, there is a sweet taste that is constantly circulating, and it is endlessly memorable.

After Yunyi decided to seal these wines, these wines can be regarded as a rare pinnacle of this year's river valley winery, in addition to participating in the wine fair, the rest of all stored in the cave, in the future it will be called "cave treasure reflecting rainbow" to take the homonym of "Yin Hong". When the market is hot, put it on the market little by little.

A good wine is made, and a sense of joy permeates the entire valley winery.

Although the wine made before was not bad, a good wine like today's made every person at River Valley Winery feel a sense of comfort in their hearts, as well as a sense of pride and pride.

If the River Valley Distillery wants to stand for decades or centuries, one heart and one mind is the spiritual symbol of survival.
