Chapter 11 The Secret Recipe for Brewing (2)

"Okay, Mr. Ge, I know, don't you just wait a little longer, it's no problem. Ren Zhengzhou listened to Ge Zhanxiong's explanation, and his brows suddenly relaxed. /p

"Well, it turns out that this koji is so time-consuming to make. Ren Zhengzhou sighed as he listened. /p

"The koji used in this sake brewing is not a hassle to make. Grind some rice and put it on a plate, choose a damp place, spread the ground with straw, put it and cover it with straw, if you want to make koji, half a month is enough. Ge Zhanxiong gestured with his hand and explained endlessly. /p

"You need a big pot to make wine, and your steamed bun is a little smaller, but the one that boils the pig food is barely usable. Brewing also requires a brewing tool, to use a long wooden barrel connected on both sides, layered up and down, the bottom should be larger, to cover the cauldron but smaller than the pot, so as not to leak air. ”/p

After a pause, he looked at Ren Zhengzhou opposite, and made sure that he listened carefully before continuing: "The waist of the barrel should be small, there should be a groove in the waist, and there should be a bamboo hole in the waist for drinking. Finally, put a pot with a round bottom on top, and put that one on top to hold the water, so that the wine will condense and drip. Remember to change the water regularly when the pot on the top comes, and keep the water warm, preferably cold, so that the wine can be produced. Ge Zhanxiong drank a glass of water and continued. /p

"You have to pay attention to it after drinking, and the wine from the bamboo mouth should go to the wine tank. Oh, this wine jar you have here to wash the rice jar and put it in, and the mouth of the jar should be blocked with a cloth, so as not to leak the wine. Ren Zhengzhou was full of energy, and after pouring a glass of water with both hands, he nodded to indicate that he understood the steps just said. /p

"At the beginning, you should prepare enough firewood, control the heat, and pay attention to brewing. That is, at the beginning, the first four hours should be fiercely fired, the second three hours should be reduced to a half-fire, and the last two hours should be finished. ”/p

Ge Zhanxiong spoke for a long morning, but the more Ren Zhengzhou listened, the more excited he became, and he couldn't do it immediately, but he listened patiently to the following words. /p

"The mountain spring in the early morning is the best, and it is used when soaking grain and making wine. I'll be there to assist you when it's all ready, and now I'm going to prepare koji and barrels, so I'll go further when this is ready. ”/p

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Zhengzhou sighed: "Brewing turns out to require so much knowledge, and Mr. is really knowledgeable." ”/p

Ge Zhanxiong listened to Ren Zhengzhou's praise, and immediately became overjoyed: "I just understand a little, my father used to be a wine-making expert, and I only learned a few points from him, so I can't talk about being knowledgeable." ”/p

"Sir is humble. Ren Zhengzhou looked at it, and when he saw that it was already noon, he said: "Why don't you eat first, and we'll get this koji out in the afternoon." ”/p

Ge Zhanxiong has been focusing on explaining to Ren Zhengzhou, forgetting that so much time has passed, and now listening to Ren Zhengzhou say that, his stomach growled: "Okay, we are planning after dinner, it is estimated that Xiaoya is also hungry." ”/p

"Mother-in-law, is the meal ready?" Ren Zhengzhou dragged his numb knees to stand up, just about to go to Sun Sanniang. /p

"Here, the meals are on the table, ready for you. Seeing that you are all chatting, we will eat first when the doll is hungry, you look at it. Sun Sanniang was walking home just after feeding the piglets, and when she saw her husband's question, she answered. /p

"Daddy, bag. At this time, a little girl came out of the kitchen, took two big steamed buns in both hands, and was about to say to Ge Zhanxiong, who was about to serve to eat. /p

"Can you finish eating so much?" Ge Zhanxiong saw the little girl coming over and was about to reproach, when another little boy came out of the kitchen. /p

I saw two big steamed buns in the boy's left hand, two steamed buns in his right hand, and a steamed bun in his mouth. I couldn't see half of the face, and I could barely see that it was Ren Xiaoqian. When Ren Xiaoqian saw Ge Zhanxiong looking over, he thought that he was looking at himself, so he politely said to Ge Zhanxiong: "Shushu, eat bags." I could only see that such a sentence was leaking from Baozi's mouth. /p

Ge Zhanxiong looked at Ren Xiaoqian behind Ge Xiaoya, and froze for a moment, just when he wanted to blame the little girl, he didn't squeeze out the words again. /p

"Xiao Qian, take so many steamed buns for your grandfather, then send them to him quickly. "Ren Zhengzhou is not much better when he sees this scene, the guests are still there, how good you have to behave." /p

Ren Xiaoqian shook his head, and thought, I have given it to my grandfather, haven't my grandfather eaten enough? Well, it must be the case, after I send two to my grandfather, I will go to the kitchen to get two back. /p

Ren Xiaoqian figured it out, nodded and said vague words: "Okay, I'll send it to grandpa." ”/p

Ge Zhanxiong lost his mind for a moment and finally came up with it: "Hehe, eat, I am a little hungry when I see the steamed buns." ”/p

"Well, I'm a little hungry too. Ren Zhengzhou echoed with an embarrassed face. /p

After a full meal, Ren Zhengzhou and Ge Zhanxiong went outside the door to grind rice and make koji. /p

After a while, Ren Xiaoqian ran to the kitchen and said, "Grandma, I'm asking for two." ”/p

Sun Sanniang was very entangled, so I went to feed the pigs, and told them to wait for the buns to cool down and eat them themselves, but I didn't expect the pigs to come back and find that the family was ready to raise themselves into pigs Ren Xiaoqian. /p

"Go out, eat the food in your mouth before you can come back and get it. As he spoke, he took back the only remaining bun in Ren Xiaoqian's hand and put it back in the steamer. /p

"Oh. Ren Xiaoqian was in a low mood because the last two buns were gone. /p

Ren Xiaoqian walked out of the kitchen with his head down. /p

"What's wrong with you?" Ge Xiaoya was in the living room pinching and playing with the rag doll that Ren Xiaoqian gave her in the morning. /p

"Grandma took my bun away, I don't have you anymore. Ren Xiaoqian looked at the half of the steamed bun in his hand, endured his grievances, and spoke to Ge Xiaoya with difficulty. /p

"It's okay, I've got two here, hey, I'll give you one. Ge Xiaoya took out one of the steamed buns in her two pockets and stuffed it into Ren Xiaoqian's arms to comfort her. It would be comforting to say that girls are more precocious than boys. /p

"I don't want it, this one is yours. Ren Xiaoqian almost turned on a little white face, but fortunately he knew that this steamed bun belonged to a little girl. /p

The little girl touched the rag doll in her arms and said, "If you give me a rag doll, then I will also give you steamed buns." ”/p

In this way, Ren Xiaoqian got a gift from someone else for the first time, although it was a bun, but he was very happy. /p

"Wait for half a month later, you can soak the grain for brewing, and I'll be here then!"

"Okay, I'll also find a big wood to make a barrel in the next few days, and then I won't lack anything. In Ren's view, winemaking has begun to get on the right track. /p

"This is a steamed bun, come, Xiaoya will take it and give it to her mother to taste it. Sun Sanniang handed it to Ge Xiaoya and Ge Zhanxiong, who were about to walk back to the school. /p

"Thank you, grandma!" Ge Xiaoya took a pack of steamed buns and hugged the steamed buns and rag dolls to her chest as she spoke. /p
