Chapter 5 You Haven't Heard of Potatoes?
The white millet that was idle and sore began sake brewing the following year.
Sake brewing requires the use of sake stalks.
The sake rice bowl is the bone of the wine!
Without sake skewers, it is impossible to make sake with a mellow taste.
Sake rice bowl is simple.
White grass is made by simply fermenting rice and mixing it with bamboo leaves, field edge grass, and spicy knotweed.
Spicy knotweed, also known as water knotweed, willow leaf knotweed.
This is a very common grass.
It mainly grows in grasslands, ditches, or damp places.
At that time, what Bai Ji wanted was actually to look around.
Haven't read a fantasy novel?
As the protagonist, you can encounter any natural treasures wherever you go.
It's like a hundred-year-old vermilion fruit or something.
Outcome...... No fart.
Except that peaches are peaches!
There is also a bamboo forest, and there are only bamboo shoots in it.
Bai Ji, who was thinking about life by the river, stumbled upon spicy knotweed.
According to the system.
There is a systematic prohibition in the Peach Blossom Garden.
For him, it is similar to the role of the novice village.
Therefore, the fierce monsters outside can't enter.
Beasts don't count.
Naturally, don't think about anything good here.
It would be nice to let him survive.
Oh?
So that's it!
It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, Bai Ji believes it anyway.
After all, in the past six years, there have indeed been no demon beasts breaking in.
That's really thanks to the system!!
……
This home-made sake is still alive and can still be used.
After more than ten processes, it can be regarded as a reluctant success.
The main ingredient for sake brewing, white grass, is potatoes.
The reason is simple.
The yield of potatoes per mu is high, and there is no fear of failure.
That's right, potatoes can make wine.
For example, the ingredient of vodka is actually made from potatoes.
Aquavit is a Norwegian two-pot wine.
In fact, it is a strong liquor made from potatoes, and the degree is about 45 degrees.
Alcohol at this level is already a strong spirit.
Bai Ji felt that the taste was almost meaningful, so he specially distilled and purified it.
He's a monk anyway.
Distillation and purification is a piece of cake for him!
With the help of Reiki, the liquor brewed is quite good.
The wine is pure and fragrant.
In Bai Ji's opinion, the taste is definitely more fragrant than foreign vodka.
As for the degree, it is estimated that it should be about 50 degrees.
However, it is useless for white grass.
Don't take Bigu as a monk!
No matter how you say it, he is also in the valley realm.
Alcohol was largely ineffective for him.
……
In addition to wine, there is also vinegar.
As the saying goes, wine turns into vinegar.
The traditional method is to ferment the grain into ethanol, and then ferment the acetic acid under the action of acetic acid bacteria, and oxidize the ethanol to produce acetic acid.
So if the brewed sake is not good, it can be further made into vinegar.
White millet is made directly from rice to make rice vinegar.
The method is very simple, after cooking, gelatinization, liquefaction and saccharification fermentation.
Otherwise, where did this sour and hot shredded potato come from?
……
"Erguotou?"
Qin Dada was a little confused.
Looking at Bai Ji, he was also extremely surprised in his heart.
He had never heard of these new terms of white millet.
But the more this is the case, the more convinced he is of Bai Ji's identity.
Yes!
That's right!
This is the Immortals!
A real immortal!
If it weren't for immortals, how could it be so peculiar?
"Taste it."
Bai Ji is still quite confident in the second pot head.
The taste is a little worse than that of later generations, but there must be no problem in fooling these few uninformed mortals.
Qin Dada picked up the bamboo tube.
White millet is made with a bamboo tube as a cup.
Convenient, practical and simple.
Looking at the clear liquid inside, I smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.
It's full-bodied!
Spicy with a unique aroma.
Regarding wine, the earliest dates can be traced back to the Neolithic period.
Most of the liquor during this period was made from glutinous rice, sorghum, and rice, and generally speaking, the alcohol content was not high.
Among them, Zhao wine is the strongest, Yan wine is softer, and Qin wine is more bitter.
In ancient times, wine was not something that anyone could drink if they wanted to.
For the emperor Qin Dada, it is naturally useless.
If you are not used to drinking liquor, you will still be a little uncomfortable at the beginning.
Qin Dada had chili peppers first, so he just took a small sip.
The dried bamboo shoots on the tongue coating explode!
The spicy Qin couldn't help but stick out his tongue.
"It's spicy!"
"Spicier than chili!"
Bai Ji couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the fat man's funny appearance.
Therefore, what the ancients said about a thousand cups not to get drunk is basically blowing.
At present, the degree of alcohol is estimated to be stronger than beer.
Li Xin said he was not convinced.
A cup went down and squirted on the spot.
"Poisoned wine!"
"It's poisoned wine!"
Get lost!
Get out of here!
Let's go while you're cool.
I don't know what to do!
Meng Yi is still a person.
When I drank it, my eyes almost popped out.
Choking and coughing.
His face turned the color of pork liver.
Even so, Meng Yi still didn't spit it out.
That's it for liquor.
I can't bear it even if I change to a modern person who hasn't drunk much.
"Is this a sako?"
Qin Dada's face was full of curiosity.
Watching Bai Jimei take a small sip of it, it was very weird.
He has drunk all the wine of the Six Nations.
None of them choked like this.
I really couldn't accept it at first.
When you drink it, you feel like a flame tumbling in your stomach.
After the aftertaste, it has a slight sweetness.
It has a unique aroma.
Very peculiar feeling.
"Erguotou."
Bai Ji will take a random name.
Anyway, in the Xianxia world, can this wine still be sold for money?
Looking at the Daqin trio, it was full of pity.
These three people probably don't have much knowledge.
Like some legendary elixir, they can't taste it.
It's miserable!
It is estimated that life is also tight.
Alas!
Understandable!
"Two pots...... Head? ”
"What a weird name."
"It must be immortal wine!"
Immortal wine?!
Phoenix!
Qin Dada's eyes suddenly lit up.
Raise your glass.
Tons and tons and tons of tons!
"Ahem!"
"Enjoyable!"
White Grass: ......
This fat man, crazy?
"I don't know how this immortal wine is refined by the immortals?"
"With potatoes."
Bai Ji opened his mouth as a matter of course.
Serve yourself a bowl full of tomato and bird egg soup.
Tasted.
Not bad!
The taste is just right, sour and appetizing.
"By the way, you don't even have potatoes?"
This Xianxia world is too miserable!
"Potatoes...... What is it? ”
"Rice sorghum is used in winemaking, and I have never heard of potatoes."
Meng Yi is as sure as he wants!
Want potatoes now?
Yes, go to the Andean highlands of South America to dig!
Of course, the cultivation of white millet is cultivated by artificial grafting over thousands of years.
Even if you really dig it now, the starch content of the taste yield cannot be compared with that of white millet.
So, don't say that Qin Da and the three of them haven't heard of it.
Even in front of those natives of South America, they probably don't know each other.
