Chapter 423: Brewing Begins

"Grandpa Tang, don't underestimate this bottle of water, this is my special water, as long as it drinks fish bait and stirs it together, it is definitely very popular with fish."

Lin Shan said, this water is not ordinary water, it is Lin Shan's special nutrient solution, the effect is very powerful, with fish bait, it has a fatal temptation for fish.

"Does it really work?" Jing Lao asked with some suspicion.

"Really, Grandpa Jing, Grandpa Tang, if you try it, you will know if it will work." Lin Shan said after stirring the bait.

"Hehe, then I'm going to try it, whether it's as good as you say." Donald replaced the bait on the hook with a special bait made by Lin Shan.

Tang Long put the hook into the water, and it was not ten seconds left.

"Old Don, hurry, there's a fish on the hook!" Jing Lao shouted nervously, this movement is too big, and the entire float was directly pulled to the bottom of the water.

"Hehe, I know it." Donald happily pulled up the fishing rod.

"What a big fish!" Donald said that the fish was too big, and the rod was bent down, and there was no way to pull the fish up.

"This fish weighs at least three pounds." Jing Lao also said excitedly.

"Quick, bring me the fish net, and get me the fish." Donald said to Lin Shan.

Lin Shan hurriedly brought over the fish net bag that was placed on the side and caught the fish.

"Ah......, it's a black fish?"

Tang Lao said in surprise, you must know that the black fish is notoriously cunning, and it is a carnivorous fish, I didn't expect it to be able to catch it......

"What a big black fish, this black fish is more than four pounds." Jing Lao looked at a big black fish on the net bag and said.

"Yes, it's rare to see such a big black fish. I didn't expect to catch it as soon as I caught it. Donald said happily. I feel a sense of accomplishment in particular.

"Grandpa Tang. You're so good at catching such a big black fish. Lin Shan passed with a sycophant.

"Hehe, luck, luck!" Donald smiled happily.

"I'll try!" Jing Lao also excitedly used the new jade bait.

"Ah~~, here comes the fish, here the fish!" It hadn't been more than ten seconds before the hook went down, and Jing Lao also shouted excitedly.

Lin Shan hurriedly took the net bag and went up, but Lin Shan was very clear. Although these fish have not been raised for a long time, they are full of nutrition, and now they are all very fat.

"It's a grass carp, and this grass carp weighs at least five pounds." After Lin Shan fished up the big grass carp, he said excitedly.

"Hehe, I said, why are these fish so difficult to catch, they are all big guys who have become fine!" Donald said with a smile.

"It's still Xiao Tao's special bait!"

Jing Lao said that his grandson-in-law is really powerful. It's so powerful at everything, with a fish bait. The effect is so powerful.

"Grandpa, this bait has a time limit, and after one or two hours, the effect will be gone, and the bait will be rematched." Lin Shan said.

"Old Tang, let's compete to see who catches the most fish and the bigger fish." Jing Lao said.

"Okay, it will be compared, who is afraid of whom!" Donald said.

……

Time passed like this, Zeng Yue and Zeng Ya slowly integrated into Lin Shan's big family, and accepted the fact that Lin Shan's brother-in-law had so many women.

And Jing Lao also forgave the fact that Lin Shan has so many women, and it won't work if he doesn't forgive, his precious granddaughter has to be Lin Shan.

These days, Tang Lao and Jing Lao also lived here in Linshan, no way, the scenery here is really good, early in the morning, the old people in the village came to pull Tang Lao and Jing Lao to play chess, Lin Shan can even often see them under the old tree at the entrance of the village, and the villagers have a lot of fun, and now they have forgotten to go back.

Maybe Jing Lao has been retired for too long, and now he is dressed as a peasant, and the people in the village are stunned that he is the former No. 1 leader of the country.

In the past few days, Lin Shan has basically nothing to do except mess around with his own woman, after all, the factory is still under construction, it has not been built yet, and everyone can't get involved.

In the past few days, the two old men have lived here with themselves, and they have to drink a few glasses of wine at every meal, and the special Wuliangye is a little unaccustomed to Lin Shan after drinking it for two days.

As a master of winemaking, Lin Shan decided to make his own wine, after all, only the wine he brewed was in line with his own taste. In fact, this idea has taken root in his mind for a long time, whether it is the medicinal wine in traditional Chinese medicine or the fine wine in cooking, these are clearly in Lin Shan's mind, but he has been busy recently, so it has been delayed.

Now that he has obtained the brewing master, then Lin Shan can start the plan in his heart, however, among them, there was also a little accident, originally, Lin Shan was going to brew a little medicinal wine, but after becoming a brewing master, countless recipes suddenly rose in Lin Shan's mind, what ten thousand carry a bucket, and send the old people of Xiaoxiang far away. The drunken man is in the mulberry wine, and the mulberry wine that teaches people to be helpless to part.

There are Qing songs, strings and ancient songs, and fine wine sells Xinfeng. Xinfeng has wine for me to drink, eliminate the sadness of the hometown, Xinfeng wine fight ten thousand, Xianyang Ranger how many years. Xinfeng wine.

There are also chrysanthemum wine, bamboo leaf green, bluetail wine, daughter red, and evergreen ...... Countless fine wines from the past and present in China, as for Wuliangye and Moutai, Lin Shan didn't even look at it.

Even the legendary originator of Chinese medicine brewing has Du Kang wine.

It is precisely because of this that after two days of thinking, Lin Shan did not intend to brew the historical wine in his mind, but relied on his cooking, Chinese medicine, and winemaking skills, which had reached the grandmaster's level, and slowly thought about it and created several kinds of wine.

These kinds of liquor created by Lin Shan have different tastes and different aromas, but one thing is the same, that is, it has the effect of medicinal wine, the taste of fine wine, and even contains the mellow flavor of fine wine, three-in-one, and the taste is absolutely wonderful.

Since it has been decided, on the morning of the third day, seeing that Jing Lao and Tang Lao have left one by one and gone out to do their own things, Lin Shan also decided to work hard today.

The traditional method of brewing liquor is to soak the raw materials →→ first steam→ stewed grain→ re-steamed→ spread and cool→ add koji → to pack and culture→ with tanks→ barrels to ferment→ distilled → finished liquor, although it seems to be extremely simple, and if you use a machine, the speed is even faster.

However, if you continue to use the ancient methods that have been handed down from ancient times to the present, it will be very time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, the first two steps Lin Shan did not have the slightest worry, the grain grown by himself in this countryside is of good quality, even as Lin Shan's various grandmasters, he can't jump out of the slightest fault, and it is really a good material for making wine.

And Lin Shan, after making a decision, immediately bought good glutinous rice from the village, which had been soaked, as long as Lin Shan took out the tools, he could immediately take it out and brew it.

The tool for making wine, the big Bo Yun Changde family has one, and the materials are exquisite, it looks like an old object, and even the faint aroma of wine can be smelled on the side, you can imagine how much wine it has made, it is really a rare and excellent tool.

Soon, Lin Shan borrowed the historical brewing tools and put them in a vacant lot on the edge of the reservoir.

Then, there is the first step: distillation, this stage must first steam the glutinous rice that has been drained, and the glutinous rice is ready to be cooked, and one person will complete all this.

In fact, there is another reason, that is, Zeng Quan took a group of college beauties to the town to buy things, and the two old men also went to the village to play chess with others, and Lin Shan couldn't find anyone to help.

Of course, a few little guys came over enthusiastically, but they were driven away by Lin Shan, they are making wine, what are a group of fluffy guys coming to do, if Mao falls into the wine, who would dare to drink this wine.

After waiting for an hour boringly, with the sensitivity of the grandmaster brewer, Lin Shan took out the ripe glutinous rice in a timely manner.

Even, seeing this glutinous rice, Lin Shan had an urge to eat it, but this was just a thought, but it was enough to prove that the quality of this glutinous rice was excellent.

At this moment, what needs to be carried out is the next step, cooling, if it is mechanical, then it may only take a while, but Lin Shan pays attention to pure nature, so he wants to cool it naturally, however, it is not impossible, Lin Shan put this hot glutinous rice into the house, and beat the temperature of the air conditioner to a minimum, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the glutinous rice to be completely cooled.

It took Lin Shan a full two and a half hours to finish these tedious things, but he was not impatient at all, because only the most serious and attentive manufacturing can make a peerless wine, otherwise, even if your skills are amazing and peerless, there will be no great achievements, just like a singer, if you sing without emotion, no matter how sweet the voice is, there will not be too many people like it.

And last night, Lin Shan had already finished grinding the glutinous rice and the century-old koji, and Lin Shan also came up with his own secret recipe in a timely manner, plus the location here is strange, so in just one night, it took ten days to ferment elsewhere, so the next step is to carry out the next step of distillation.

After all the other preparations were made, Lin Shan began to move on to the next step. Distillation, in the process of winemaking, is a very important relief, and it can even be said that the quality of the wine is directly related to the operation in distillation.

Even Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, also recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "The method is to use strong wine and dregs to steam into the retort, so that the gas is up, and the drip dew is taken with a vessel." All sour wine can be steamed. In recent times, only glutinous rice or japonica rice, or millet or rice or barley are steamed, and koji is brewed in an urn, seven days, steamed with retorts, it is as clear as water, the taste is very strong, and the wine is covered with dew. ”

This shows the importance of distillation in the winemaking process. (To be continued......)
