As soon as Gao Yuan heard that there was wine to drink, he was anxious and immediately asked Zhou Nan to take him to see it, Gao Yun had nothing to do, and he was also worried about how Zhou Nan's steaming wine was going, so he also wanted to see it. Zhou Nan couldn't help it, so he had to take Gao Yuan and Gao Yun to Lao Zhengtou.

The road was uneven, and the three of them walked towards the residence of Lao Zheng Tou in the northwest corner of the cottage. When I walked outside the door, I saw that the firewood in the stone stove in the wine room was bright, and there were still two people in the wine room, Zheng Tou and Shen Ding. The pile of firewood in the courtyard has been moved outside the door of the wine room, and there are still a few pits on the ground where the firewood and grass were originally stacked, and a few jars of wine have been moved out of it, and there are still seven or eight jars of wine left. It seems that Lao Zheng Tou has made up his mind and steamed the dozen jars of wine he hid in one go.

Gao Yuan glanced over, saw the holes on the ground, and shouted to the old Zheng Tou in the wine room: "Last time you hid two jars of wine behind the house, you must have deliberately let me know, right?" No wonder those two jars of wine are not good. ”

Lao Zheng Tou had already seen Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan coming over in the wine room, and at this time, he heard Gao Yuan rummaging through old accounts outside, walked to the door of the wine room, rolled his eyes at Gao Yuan, and said strangely: "If you don't deliberately give you those two altars, can I keep these dozen altars?" ”

Gao Yuan said that although he said this, his mind was on the steaming wine in the wine room. He talked to Lao Zheng Tou, but he squeezed into the wine room, staring at the steamer and the stone stove with bright eyes, and then looked at the bamboo pipe that was dripping wine outward, and he didn't care about talking to Lao Zheng Tou. Although he didn't understand how to steam wine in this steamer, he probably heard Gao Yun talk about steaming wine, and knew that the steamed wine finally flowed out of this bamboo pipe.

Lao Zheng Tou didn't pay attention to Gao Yuan, and only said to Zhou Nan: "After Da Lang left, Shen Zhizhao and I simply moved all the firewood outside the door, and moved the stored wine out of a few jars, which had been poured into the steamer just now, and this pot seemed to be about to come out of the wine." ”

Gao Yun asked on the side, "Doctor Zheng, how many jars of wine have you poured into this pot?" ”

Lao Zheng didn't know why Gao Yun asked like this, but he still replied: "Shicai poured six jars of wine." Gao Yun asked again: "How much can be steamed?" ”

Lao Zheng Tou said without thinking: "Da Lang has already calculated, these six jars of wine can slightly produce two jars of steamed wine." Why, Yun girl is also interested in this wine? ”

Gao Yun said with a smile: "Doctor Zheng doesn't need to guard against me, but he should think about where to steam the wine, but where to hide it so that it won't be stolen and eaten." ”

In a word, the thing that the old Zheng Tou was most worried about was said by Gao Yun, and he couldn't help but be unhappy and lamented again and again. Zhou Nan couldn't help but be amused by Lao Zhengtou.

Gao Yuan was still waiting for the wine to be served in the bamboo pipe in the wine room, and he didn't care about the three of them. Shen Ding saw that the heat was almost over, so he stopped the fire and let the water temperature heat the wine in the steamer by itself. Shen Ding respectfully walked to Gao Yuan's side and said to Gao Yuan: "The second village master can wait a little, this pot of wine is about to come out." ”

Gao Yuan asked strangely, "How do you know that you are about to come out with wine?" ”

Shen Ding pointed to the wooden board around the steamer and said to Gao Yuan: "The little one tried it when he was steaming the first pot just now, and when the wooden board of the steamer is seven points hot, it is time to make wine." ”

Zhou Nan was secretly surprised on the side, to say that people in this era are really not simple, they can be so careful, and they can grasp the key, so they can push the other.

Sure enough, after a while, the bamboo tube began to drip wine dripping into the jar below, as it had just done. As time passes, the speed at which the liquor drips from the bamboo tube begins to increase, and it gradually becomes a slip and flows into the jar.

A rich aroma of wine gradually diffused in the wine room, and even Gao Yun unconsciously smelled it a few more times.

Gao Yuanjian came out of the wine, hurriedly took a bowl, took a little first, Gao Yuan had secretly drunk, knowing that this steamed wine was not as good as the usual wine, so he didn't take it much, held the bowl to his mouth, took a sip first, smacked it in his mouth, took another sip, and said: "It's really happy!" ”

Shen Ding took three more bowls on the side, took a few from each, and handed them to Zhou Nan, Lao Zheng Tou and Gao Yun respectively, Gao Yun hesitated, took it, sniffed it first, frowned, didn't drink, just looked at Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan saw Gao Yun's expression and asked, "Hasn't Sister Yun'er ever drunk?" Gao Yun nodded and said, "I haven't drunk it, but I saw that my brother was like a cow drink, and even the house smelled bad after drinking." That's why I never drink. ”

Zhou Nan smiled: "It's okay to drink less, it's just that this wine is strong, you can taste it." As he spoke, Zhou Nan took a sip of the wine in his bowl and motioned for Gao Yun to take a sip. Seeing this, Gao Yun was also like Zhou Nan, took a sip, and then in his mouth, he suddenly felt extremely spicy, and when he swallowed it, he barely got better, and then tasted it carefully, and there was a fragrance of flowers and fruits, as the spicy feeling gradually faded, there was only a soft and fragrant taste between the remaining mouths.

Zhou Nan just now was originally to give Gao Yun a demonstration, so he took a small sip, and when he drank it, it was different from Gao Yun's first drink, Zhou Nan only felt that this wine was different from the first pot of wine just now. The first pot of sake has only a spicy feel. This time, the wine is mellow and refreshing in the mouth, but not spicy, and the aftertaste is soft after swallowing, and there is a natural fruity aroma when you taste it. Just like the good old white dry wine that Zhou Nan often drank before crossing, it added a fruity taste.

This time, even Zhou Nan couldn't help but admire, and asked Lao Zheng Tou: "Why is this so mellow?" ”

Lao Zheng Tou was still slowly tasting with his eyes closed, and when he heard Zhou Nan also say yes, Lao Zheng Tou said strangely: "Little Lao'er also thinks that this time is better than last time." I just can't say what's good. Tell me, what's so good about this time? ”

Zhou Nan took another sip before saying: "This time the wine seems to be more mellow, not spicy, and has a fruity aroma in it." ”

Lao Zheng patted his thigh, and suddenly came to his senses: "Yes." Xiao Lao'er, this time, in order to save trouble, he poured several jars of wine at once, including a jar of fruit wine. Da Lang said that there is a fruity aroma, it should be this fruit wine fragrance. ”

Zhou Nan nodded, it should be it, and asked Lao Zheng Tou again: "What kind of wine was steamed just now?" ”

Old Zheng Tou raised his head and was thinking about it, and Shen Dingdai Old Zheng Tou next to him replied: "Master of the village, when the right doctor Zheng poured the wine, the small one had already asked, and Dr. Zheng used two jars of sorghum wine, three jars of rice wine, and one jar of fruit wine to steam. ”

Lao Zheng Tou heard Shen Dingyi say, and hurriedly said: "Exactly, exactly." ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said to Shen Ding: "At the moment, you don't have any work in your hands, so you can help Dr. Zheng steam wine." Write down what kind of sake you use, how much you use, and what it tastes like when you steam it. ”

Shen Ding bowed his head and responded: "What the master of Dazhai taught. When my master teaches, I always have to look carefully and don't say anything. ”

Zhou Nan saw this Shen Ding's intentions, so he reminded: "The wood of this steamer can be replaced with a wood with a flower and fruit aroma, and the aroma of the steamed wine is not the same with different materials." ”

Shen Ding hurriedly said: "The small one will definitely find a few more kinds of wood, steam it a few more times, and ask the master of Dazhai to evaluate." ”

Zhou Nan said: "This steamed wine should also be stored in a cool and closed place, and the storage days are different, and the wine will become more mellow and fragrant." ”

Shen Ding hurriedly wrote it down. Lao Zheng Tou asked on the side: "According to Da Lang's statement, the fermented wine will be put into the steamer together, and the taste will be stronger?" ”

Zhou Nan said vaguely: "It should be." Try it yourself. ”

Lao Zheng nodded thoughtfully, suddenly smiled again, and said: "This wine is not only steamed, but also the pure yang in the wine, presumably like this crude medicine, pay attention to a gentleman and minister, wait for me to finish steaming this wine first, and try it back." Get some medicinal wine to nourish your body and bones, and give Dalang a daily supplement. Hahaha. ”
