Chapter 67 Making

The light sake at the back is not useless, and after replacing the lees, you can pour it on the new lees to increase the amount and degree of the wine.

Seeing that the workers were already familiar with the operation, Su You took the already drunk foreman into the qufang.

It has been strictly controlled, and there is a sign at the door that says "No entry without permission".

When entering the door, you have to change your clothes and shoes, put on a green linen coat that is boiled and washed every day, a green linen mask, and the wooden bottom of the oil boots are stepped on in the lime water large wooden plate at the door to disinfect for a while before you can enter the room.

The room was also disinfected and sprayed with spirits.

Everything is boiled in boiling water.

At present, the production process of Xiaoqu in the Great Song Dynasty is to use glutinous rice or japonica rice as raw materials, first soak knotweed leaves or hops, and wring the juice. Mix rice flour with juice and knead it into rice balls to naturally grow koji seeds.

However, there are serious drawbacks in this method, and the source of microorganisms in the koji is mainly the water source, the raw materials themselves, or the koji-making place and utensils. As a result, the high-performing cultures cannot be passed down from generation to generation, and the quality of the wine cannot be constant.

Therefore, Su You transformed the potion method into a commonly used medicinal powder method in later generations.

The method is to mix aged koji, water, rice noodles, and spicy knotweed, beat it, cut it into pieces, roll it, and then inoculate.

The inoculation method has also been changed to the "rolling rice balls" method, which is to roll the newly made koji dough on the aged koji powder and let the aged koji powder stick to the surface of the new koji.

There are a large number of rhizopus spores in the end of Chenqu, which can multiply rapidly on the meandering dough and form a growth advantage.

Since it is possible to artificially select the better quality of the Chen qu as the type of koji, it is possible to select the best and eliminate the inferior.

Through artificial breeding year after year, the koji species that are naturally eliminated and of superior quality are actually microbial flora, which can be preserved.

After that, the seed culture is divided into three stages, firstly, the curved dough is kept in the tank for heat preservation culture, and the mycelium is rich and stable; Continue the medium-term culture in the plaque basket, so that the mycelium can be exposed to air as much as possible to promote growth; After the plaque was changed in the middle, and after the plaque was merged, it was then loaded into a basket for later cultivation, and finally dried into small koji pills.

Xiaoqu pills do not require a lot of labor, so Su You took the foreman to operate it himself.

A series of devices, instruments, full of mystery.

A series of operational measures before entering the door are full of rituals.

This made the foreman feel that this was a place full of religious atmosphere, as if it was a place shrouded in Du Kang's divine light, and he trembled and did not even dare to take a breath of air.

Changing out of the sterile suit, ignoring the foreman who was about to collapse at the door, Su You went to the Land Temple to teach again.

The children of the Land Temple are now on the right track of life, getting up at four o'clock every morning, except for the one class that rushes to sell breakfast, and the rest go to morning school.

After learning to eat breakfast, after breakfast, they will do their own thing according to the division of labor.

Come back at noon for a new class and continue to work in the afternoon.

In every type of work, except for girls, everyone has to rotate, panning sand, making pottery, making honeycomb coal, coal stoves, kilns, infrastructure construction, catching fish......

In the afternoon, Su You also taught the girls how to cook.

Come back in the evening, eat, self-study, rest.

The daily income gradually stabilized at the level of 12 guan.

The days are hard, but fulfilling.

After a busy day back in the city, the winery made more than 200 catties of liquor, and more than 10 catties of liquor.

Every seven days, Su You stipulates that he can sleep for a day.

So today, when the sun rises three poles, Su You went to the dock to have a look.

Along the way, many people have seen him nodding and smiling, and he has a small reputation in the market of Meishan City.

When he came to the wharf, Su You stood on the wharf and began his daily routine to watch the ship.

The time has entered autumn, the water potential of the glass river is gradually decreasing, and the countercurrent boats from Jiazhou have obviously begun to increase, and the next autumn will enter the peak season of water transportation.

There were also significantly more people on the dock, and there were people gathered in one place, as if there was something lively to see.

Su You squeezed in, but saw a character like a little green skin in coarse cloth clothes, opening a gambling game there.

Song people are good at gambling, this is also a major feature of this era, in the vegetable market, a certain little lady today wears what color belly pocket to buy, small traders can use the vegetables in the burden to gamble, it can be described as addictive.

Among the onlookers were several young men in draped shirts, a middle-aged man with a gauze hat and flippers. It's this middle-aged man who is in full swing with Xiao Qingpi regardless of his identity.

In front of the green skin was a cloth with three small bowls and a pom-pom on it.

Common scams too.

However, now the two of them didn't bet on that, only to see Qingpi holding two wooden sticks in his hand, a green head and a red head, the two sticks were together, wrapped around a soft rope, Qingpi asked triumphantly: "Outside, do you guess the rope is wrapped around the red head or the green head this time?" ”

The man took fifty wen out of charge and pointed his finger at the green-headed stick: "Green-headed, this time it is true, it won't be wrong!" ”

The rope is slowly straightened, the two sticks slowly tumble, the loops around the sticks become fewer and fewer, and finally, the rope is set on the red-headed sticks.

The eyes of the staff were straight, and the surrounding crowd exclaimed, and everyone could see clearly that the rope was put on the green head before winding the rope.

Su You felt funny and said, "I'll also participate in the gamble, but I want to sit in the village and bet against you!" ”

The green skin looked impatient: "Go, go, don't make trouble, children!" ”

Now the audience stopped doing it first: "How can you talk to the little master?!" ”

"Be polite!"

"Stick rope to the little master! Otherwise, the stall will be closed! ”

The green skin didn't know what the young master was about, there were so many people speaking for him, and several young men in shirts also looked at him with some surprise, as well as the outsider.

The crowd was angry, and Qingpi had no choice but to hand over the gambling equipment to Su You: "Come on, come on, give it to you, do you bring money?" ”

Su You really didn't have any money, so one of the young people took out fifty yuan: "Little friend, here you go." ”

Su You looked at the man, his forehead was high, his body was slightly fat, and he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was not polite, and arched his hand: "Thank you, I will return you in a while." ”

Xiao Qingpi sneered on the side.

Su You put the rope on one stick at random, and then the other stick went up and wrapped it together: "Guess! ”

Xiao Qingpi pointed to the red stick: "Red." ”

Su You let go of the hand that was pulling the rope, and the end of the rope drooped: "Really? ”

The sweat on Xiao Qingpi's forehead suddenly appeared: "This ...... This ......"

Su You smiled meaningfully: "Are you sure it's red?" ”

Xiao Qingpi squatted down and quickly put away the stall, and then bowed to Su You: "I don't know that there are still masters in Meishan, how much offended, the villain will leave." ”

After saying that, he ignored the crowd and ran away.

Su You didn't think much of it, returned the fifty yuan to the chubby young man with a high forehead, wrapped the rope around the stick, and said to the crowd: "Ten gambles and nine frauds, everyone have more eyes and disperse." ”

After saying that, I rushed towards the Land Temple, there was still a mess over there.

The crowd began to talk.

"What's the situation? Why didn't I get it? ”

"Don't you understand? That green skin is cheating! The little master is so smart, he can see that the way is coming at a glance! ”

"How? I don't see it......"

"Huh?! Are you trying to be smarter than the little master? I ate too much stilted beef, and the oil blinded my heart, right? ”

"You dare to say you can see it?! You came before me, and you blocked two rounds! Hehehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat the braised pork tonight......"

"Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, isn't it? It's a big deal, I'll spend the money for tomorrow morning's bean soup and rice first, and I'll be hungry until the evening tomorrow......"

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the middle-aged man looked at Su You's departing figure: "I don't care about Meishan, there are still such characters......"

A young man in his twenties bowed down and said, "Father, hurry up and go home, just get on the dock and gamble, and you don't care about your identity so much, I'm afraid that Weng Weng will be angry." ”

The man glared: "What's the matter?" How dare you sue me? ”

The young man said, "Do you still use me to sue?" At this moment, Weng Weng is afraid that he already knows. ”

Only then did the officer react: "Ouch, then hurry back!" ”
