Although Li Er spent a lot of brains checking the tools and utensils for making wine, he still couldn't understand the mystery. There was no way, he had to use the knowledge of wine-making from hearsay in the past, mix all kinds of grains together, cook them, and put them in clay jars to ferment, in order not to miss the ten-day deadline given by the fox king, Li Er took great pains to Chapter 420

Heart, put those clay jars containing cooked grain, and ask people to help them move to the sun to dry, so as to strengthen the temperature.

Li Er asked Jieyu: "What about the person you used to make wine, why don't you have a master just a family?" ”

Jieyu said: "On our mushroom mountain, there was a winemaker earlier, this old man has a very strange temper, and he is also very stubborn, the skill of winemaking has never been passed on, when he makes wine, he never makes people to see, and then he suddenly died, and since then, there is no one to make wine on Mushroom Mountain." ”

"Don't you see how he makes sake at all?"

Jieyu said: "He is steaming wine, not your method." ”

"How do you know he's steaming?"

"He made wine behind closed doors, but when he came out to get firewood, I peeked at it and saw the steaming in the pot.

Li Er patted his head, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and said, "Look at my memory, how can I forget about steaming wine?" Boiling first and then steaming is the secret of our Li family's winemaking, how can we forget this stubble. ”

Jieyu instructed several palace maids to carry firewood, and personally helped Li Er put the grains cooked a few days ago into the steamer, and then ordered the palace maids to add water to the pot and light the fire.

Since Li Er didn't count in his heart, he thought that the more grains he cooked, the better, and by the end of the ten days, the grains that had been cooked at first had just been steamed halfway.

Li Er lies on the clay jar every day. Sniff it with your nose to see if it smells of alcohol. Jieyu frowned and asked, "Mr. Li, do you know how to make wine?" If you really don't know how to make wine, pull it down as soon as possible, don't toss around like this every day, and the people who toss are panicked. I don't think you're a layman when it comes to sake brewing. ”

Li Er did not answer Jieyu's question directly, but pulled her to the clay jar and asked rhetorically: "The woman's nose is pointy." Do you smell it? ”

Jieyu looked at Li Er's serious appearance, and felt funny, a bit like a child's naughty and naughty appearance, so she had to lean over and smell it, and said: "I feel that something is wrong, not only does it not smell of wine, but I feel like a sour smell in it." ”

Li Eryi patted his head: "I see, I see." ”

Jieyu looked nervous at him. Hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, what do you understand?" But have you found a knack for making sake? ”

Li Er pulled Jieyu behind the clay jar and said secretly: "Look at it, you also said it just now." This wine is a bit sour, isn't it? I understand what's going on, why is wine sour? Because I forgot to add salt to it. In the past, when I saw my wife cooking at home, she always added salt to it. ”

Jieyu was puzzled and said, "It's not big, is it?" Why haven't I seen an old man who makes sake add salt to the ingredients? Mr. Lee. Are you misremembering, wow. ”

Li Er said affirmatively: "That's right! Cooking at home, I not only saw my wife adding salt, and. I also saw Xiao Taohong with my own eyes, as well as the huge, Liu Xueyin, they all did this. Girl, you don't have to hesitate, hurry up and get salt, add it, mix it evenly, so as not to miss the queen's deadline, time waits for no one, and if you exceed the deadline, you will be killed. ”

Jieyu said: "Today is ten days, and the queen is waiting for me to reply." ”

"Then hurry up and add salt and bottle it, and send it to the queen quickly, so that her old man can enjoy the wine made by my Li Erzao." Li Er smashed the salt brought by the palace maid and added it to the wine he had made, and after a long time of busy work, he finally made two bottles of wine, followed Jieyu with satisfaction, and came to the queen's bedroom.

The queen counted the date with her fingers every day, and finally looked forward to ten days, got up early in the morning, sat on her throne, and looked at the door with two eyes, and finally heard the footsteps, coming, Jieyu in front, Li Er in the back. As soon as the two men entered, the queen stood up and asked cheerfully, "My little girl, have you made the wine?" Hurry up and bring it to me, and let me try it. ”

Li Er stepped forward, knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, held the wine bottle high in both hands, and dedicated his masterpiece to the queen.

The queen was not modest, and reached out to take the bottle, pulled the cork from the mouth, and took a mouthful of it.

Li Er knelt in front of the queen, he saw the queen's face, it changed a lot, before drinking, her face was full of red light, after drinking it, she grinned, and then she took a sip of "wow", spit out the wine she had just drunk, and sprayed it all on Li Er's body, and then after that, it was like thunder, scolding, and then it was ??????

"Pull this chaotic thief out and chop it up for me!"

Li Er shouted: "Why is your temperament impermanent, always killing people and chopping people?" What's wrong? Does the wine taste wrong? ”

The queen stuffed the wine bottle in her hand into Li Er's arms: "You brew your own good wine, taste it yourself, and see if it's good wine!" ”

Li Er tasted it, the roots of his teeth were sour, and he hurriedly said, "You say, this is obviously vinegar, what's the matter?" I'm going to make the sake according to the recipe. ”

"Do you ask me?" The queen pointed to her nose.

"yes, I ask you, what the hell is going on?"

The queen made Li Er so confused that she forgot how to answer for a while.

Li Er pretended to be calm and said, "Queen, don't blame me, do you know why I asked you?" Because you are the queen, the queen is the greatest saint in heaven and earth, the queen knows astronomy, geography, push forward 10,000 years, push back 10,000 years, you know wow. If you have a problem, you will consult the sage, didn't the ancestor say, Xiucai does not go out, he knows the affairs of the world, but women and villains are difficult to raise. ”

"What? You tell me again, what is it difficult to raise a villain? ”

Li Er knew that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly handed over another bottle of wine, and said: "Respected queen, I took the wrong thing just now, I'm really sorry, what about me, I saw the by-products left over from the wine, and I was blind, but it's a pity to be blind, the croppers, I hurt the grain, so I made a few bottles of vinegar by the way, and kept them for myself, I didn't want to leave in a hurry just now, I didn't want to let you enjoy the wine as soon as possible, I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I took the wrong thing, and the vinegar I kept to eat was regarded as wine, which is the real wine." ”

The queen was skeptical of Li Er's words, took the second bottle of wine he handed over, and took a small sip tentatively, this time it was not sour, not salty! She spit out what she drank in the same way, and scolded: "Li Er, is this wine?" It's your soy sauce! How did you do it, let me ask you, did you do a small invention when you were a child? Or did you have an apprenticeship in a brewery? ”

Li Er scratched his scalp and smirked: "Dear Queen, to tell you the truth, I don't know how to make wine at all, you forced me to do it, and turning wine into vinegar and soy sauce is also a great invention." ”

"Didn't you taste the wine you made first?"

"The villain didn't dare to taste it first. You can't break the rules. ”

The queen nodded, "That's pretty much it. As the saying goes, the family has family rules, the country has national laws, and we in Mushroom Mountain also have our own laws. ”

"Why are you still killing?" Li Er shouted loudly.

Two knife and axe men came in, and just about to tie up Li Er, the old man flashed over and said, "Slow, I have something to say." ”

"Prime Minister, when did you come back?" The queen gave a look and ordered the two swords and axes to go down.

He was about to step forward and say, "My father has just come back, and he is in a hurry to see you." ”

The queen understood, it must have been Jieyu who said something in front of her father, right?

The queen asked anxiously, "Prime Minister, how did you go to Tianshan to see?" Where is the right habitat? ”

The prime minister deliberately bowed his head and did not squeak, but the queen understood what he meant, and said: "Prime minister, you can make decisions about your own affairs, just say what you want to do, everything is easy to discuss." ”

The prime minister said: "Queen, my daughter has taken a fancy to this person and wants to recruit him as a son-in-law, and I implore the queen for permission." ”

The queen looked at Li Er, a little reluctant. She only killed Li Er again and again, with only one purpose, that is, to force Li Er to submit. I don't really want to kill Li Er. Now it's okay, the prime minister has a hand, good things are not easy to do, it seems that if he doesn't let go, the prime minister will not give up. Alas! People, fate, accept fate.

The queen reluctantly agreed to the prime minister's so-called request. watched Jieyu lead Li Er away. She felt sad for a while. (To be continued......)
