Chapter 70 Lime makes good wine

"Brother, what are you buying these burnt lime for? Is my brother going to build a house? Shi Jin asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hey, Dalang, you watch." Zheng Zhi said while pouring the purchased sorghum wine into a large vat.

It has been several days since everyone returned to Weizhou. This time I went to Bianliang, although everything went smoothly, but it was still dangerous all the way. Fortunately, everything to be done was done, and Lin Chong was brought back.

Zheng Zhi has been in a particularly good mood in the past two days, that is, he has slept a lot more steadily.

instructed Li Er to buy a lot of burnt lime and a few barrels of sorghum wine, and Zheng Zhi was about to start his own experiment.

Pour all the sorghum wine into a large vat, then knock several large pieces of quicklime into small pieces, and take a piece of fine silk cloth and wrap it. Then put it in the wine.

"Tsk... Shi Jin shook his head again and again, and couldn't help but feel a secret pain in his heart, it would be a waste of a good bottle of wine, such a good silk cloth was so wasted, although Shi Jin didn't speak, he still felt a pity.

Why use such a good cloth, Zheng Zhi also has considerations, the gaps of the linen cloth are too sparse, only the silk cloth woven in the south of the Yangtze River is so tight, and it can also greatly reduce the lime residue in the wine.

Then the heat churned, and the vat was filled with a sizzling sound. For a while, the movement in the yard was really not small.

Xu also rushed out with Jin Cuilian, Xu was a standard good wife, what does her husband do, generally Xu will not ask, I roughly know in my heart that what the official wants to say to him, he will naturally say, but there is no need to ask.

At this time, I was watching the scene, and I also came out to watch.

Zheng Zhi saw that everyone was around, and even Jin Laohan came over, and laughed: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, wait until I conjure up something good for you to see." ”

After speaking, Zheng Zhi kept stirring the red sorghum wine in the jar, and when the heat slowly dissipated, Zheng Zhi took the gourd scoop, scooped a little bit, and put it in the air to taste it.

Sure enough, the alcohol content increased, and the effect was remarkable. Take out the cloth wrap, pour out the lime that has been reacted inside, then put in some broken lime to wrap it, and then put it in the wine.

After finishing it, Zheng Zhi also took the charcoal and wrote down the amount of wine and lime on the paper. Zheng Zhi does not put much lime in each time, so that the specific ratio can be calculated more accurately, and it will be simple in the future. Of course, it is also to avoid putting too much lime in one go, which will cause the wine to boil directly.

And so it came again. Zheng Zhi turned his head to look at Shi Jin, smiled, scooped out a little bit, tasted it shallowly, and shouted in his mouth: "Haha, good wine!" ”

I'm afraid that the reading of this wine is already above thirty-eight degrees, which is enough.

Zheng Zhi motioned for Shi to come in and taste it again.

Shi Jin's face was full of suspicion, and he reluctantly said: "Brother, are you sure you won't drink the dead?" ”

"Haha. You can't die if you eat a little lime, at most you will get a stone or something. Dalang, you taste. Zheng Zhi said with a smile, but this smile seemed to have a bad taste.

Zheng Zhi scooped up a big sip and handed it to Shi Jin, who took it and looked embarrassed: "Brother, do you really want to drink?" ”

Xu, who was watching from the sidelines, was also worried in his heart, this lime is not a good thing, lime hurts people, I have heard of it, and now I want to eat lime, and I feel that it is inappropriate in my heart, and Xu, who wants to speak and stop, finally spoke: "Official... You can't hurt Dalang. ”

"Haha... Nothing happened, I didn't drink it, I wasn't good yet. Zheng Zhi smiled and gave Shi Jin some confidence.

"Brother, you are an extraordinary person, it's okay to drink it, maybe I'll die if I drink it." Shi Jin didn't know if he was playing a trick or really thinking so.

However, after Shi Jin said this, he still handed the collected gourd scoop to his mouth and drank it forcefully.

"Ahem." After drinking this, Shi Jin seemed to be choked, but Shi Jin was not prepared, this wine of about 38 degrees is not as good as the wine of more than ten degrees before, the entrance is spicy, and there is no seasoning in this era, this spicy taste is even more full.

"Haha... Zheng Zhi laughed when he saw it, and waited for this. No one in the Great Song Dynasty seems to have drunk such a strong liquor.

Xu Shi was even more anxious, this Shi Jin coughed like he looked like he was poisoned, Xu took two steps forward in a hurry and said, "Official, how is this good, Da Lang won't... ”

"Sister-in-law, ahem. I'm fine. It's okay... It's a strong wine, I'll try it again. Shi Jin stopped coughing, his face flushed and took another sip.

This time, Shi Jin really enjoyed it, smashing his mouth, taking another sip, and then going to the vat to scoop it again.

"Da Lang, you can't drink more, just taste it, my brother has to process it again." Zheng Zhi stopped Shi Jin's action of drinking again, it was really too poorly processed, and it was not good to eat too much lime. It is also filtered with multiple layers of silk cloth again.

Then put it in the cold weather of late autumn in the northwest to precipitate it, so that the sodium hydroxide in the wine can precipitate more.

If you pay a little more attention, put in some charcoal to absorb the miscellaneous colors in the wine, and filter it, then it will be crystal clear.

"Brother, this wine tastes really good." Shi Jin watched Zheng Zhi take out a few more silk cloths, and he didn't feel a pity at this time, but looked forward to it.

"Da Lang, you go and call Ruda first." Zheng Zhi commanded, and after making this good wine today, several people will inevitably drink it.

"Haole, I'm going to look for Brother Ruda, if he tastes it, it will be the first delicacy in heaven and on earth." Shi Jin walked out of the courtyard in three steps and went straight to Luda's residence in Jingluo Mansion.

Not long after, Luda came, tasted it, and watched Zheng Zhi's movements all the time, filtering and filtering.

Then put it in the yard and wait for it to cool, wait until the temperature has been lowered, let it sit for a long time, and then filter out some particles.

Jin Laohan has been beside him but he can't intervene, and slowly cleans up the used lime and other things on the side, and listens to Zheng Zhi's instructions not to touch it directly with his hands.

Jin Cuilian was also washing the silk cloth on the side.

Xu cooked some meat, cut it and brought it up.

The three of them took the bowl and scooped the liquor out of the jar and drank it like that.

"Brother, good wine and good wine, the gods in the sky can't drink it, and the Sprinkle family has become a god today." Ruda drank a bowl of spirits dry in one gulp, his mouth was about to burst into flames, he spat out a few mouthfuls of air, and roared, full of excitement.

"Haha... Our brother is going to make a lot of money from this. Zheng Zhi also took a sip with the joy of success. Of course, it's not like Ruda who did a bowl in one bite.

Luda drank like this, Zheng Zhi didn't stop it, and he also wanted to see how much of Luda's wine he could drink.

Ruda didn't care whether he made money or not, and drank another bowl.

Shi Jin replied: "Brother, such a good wine, I'm afraid that everyone in the world wants to drink a bowl, and my brother is going to get rich." ”

"I'm going to find a place to open the restaurant tomorrow." Zheng Zhi said again.
