Chapter 172 Refrigerated Water Cellar Bayberry Wine (Second Update)

"Hehe, don't worry!" Pat the mud mouth off. A rich and sweet fragrance poured out, very fresh wine aroma, I saw that the color of the liquid in the jar was light purple, very bright, only some flesh at the bottom of the jar precipitated, but this is not okay.

Zhang Baoshun took three bowls, Xiaohu was also bright-eyed next to him, swallowing saliva, for him, fruit wine can't be considered wine, it's almost the same.

Of course, if you really drink too much, you will still get drunk.

"Uncle Baoshun, pour me more!" Xiaohu couldn't wait to say. Zhang Baoshun scolded with a smile: "Little slander! I'll make an exception for you to drink some today-" The purple elixir-like liquid was carefully poured into the bowl, this fruity aroma and wine aroma made Zhang Guodong couldn't help but admire, this smell was different from the wine outside the mountain, this fruit wine was brewed, it was really like a jade elixir, and there was a trace of aura inside.

Although there are very few, there is much less in the wine outside the mountain.

"Good wine! Brother Baoshun, I'm blessed today! Zhang Guodong said gratefully. Zhang Baoshun laughed when he heard this, poured the three bowls to the full, and did not spill a drop, and then carefully sealed the mouth of the jar.

"Come, Brother Zhang, do a bowl!" Zhang Baoshun picked up the bowl of wine with both hands and said boldly. Zhang Guodong also rose, touched Zhang Baoshun with Xiaohu, and tasted it carefully with a smile.

A long sweet smell with a faint aroma of wine reverberates between the mouths. As soon as I got out of my stomach, I felt very comfortable, and the sourness of the plum was basically cleaned!

"Brother Baoshun, what is this plum wine made of?" Zhang Guodong tasted it slowly, praised it, and humbly asked.

There are many ways to make fruit wine on the Internet, but they are all very simple, in fact, to make fruit wine, sometimes there are many details to pay attention to in the local methods that have been handed down.

"Tsk, ah!" Zhang Baoshun pursed his lips, squinted his eyes, and enjoyed the plum fruit wine very much.

"If I want to make plum wine, first of all, the plums are plump and beautiful, washed and cleaned, and then mashed into juice and meat in a stone mortar. The finer the better, and then put it in this jar, almost half smaller, dry off most of the water, sometimes you can add fire, the water disperses faster, and so the water is basically three off, the rest is basically dried pulp, and then fill the jar with the brewed rice wine to the full, the jar mouth with a piece of mud, put it for three months, you can basically drink, however, the longer the plum wine is put the better, three months is the minimum time! I've been sitting on this jar for almost four years, and this taste is much better! ”

"This is the basic method, now, with your Moutai, you can mix some Moutai in the rice wine, and the fermentation will be better!" Zhang Guodong listened carefully.

Hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Baoshun, is it true that the better the liquor added, the higher the quality of the fruit wine?" The better? Zhang Baoshun shook his head and said: "It's not this reason, this five-pound jar, generally Moutai wine with a high degree of wine plus three or four taels is enough, more with rice wine, rice wine these are not high degree wine to fill up, more is not good, more, when brewing fruit wine, the jar generally does not leave any gaps, must be filled to brew well!" ”

"In a word, you can't see too much water in making fruit wine, so I fill it with rice wine——"

"Brother Zhang, it's very simple, you come, I'll take you to brew a few jars, you know how to do it, and when you go out of the mountain, you can bring more!" Saying that, Zhang Baoshun pulled Zhang Guodong out of the door, planning to teach and do it himself.

Very anxious temperament! There are still a lot of fruit trees in Shiya Village. After all, this is not outside the mountains, here, everything needs to be self-sufficient, fruits and the like, every family grows, for example, apples, peaches, apricots, pears, bayberry, watermelon, in addition, there are also fruits that are unique to grafting here.

Purple longan, in fact, is a grape, however, this is a wild purple grape grafted, after successful grafting, the size of this grape is the size of a pigeon's egg, and it is very sweet, it is purple and bright, the only thing is that there is a little sourness.

In general, this 'purple longan' is relatively delicious, although there are not many fruits a year, but it is better than a large size, so every family is planted.

As soon as Zhang Guodong heard Zhang Baoshun introduce the fruits in the village, he was cheeky and asked for some watermelon seeds, the black watermelon was black and swarthy, and the quality was very good, according to Zhang Baoshun, as long as the watermelon here is ripe, most of them can not be twenty catties, and they can usually go up to thirty catties, and the big ones are sixty or seventy catties or hundreds of catties.

Zhang Guodong estimated. The fact that watermelons can grow so well is related to the good environment here. Then Zhang Baoshun cut a few branches from the self-priced purple grape branches, he said, in the early spring, bury these branches in the ground, usually water a little water, basically survive, but now miss the beginning of spring, in order to be sure, he cut off seven or eight branches, let Zhang Guodong try.

"Enough. Enough, Brother Baoshun, these are enough! Zhang Guodong couldn't cry or laugh. Nowadays, the grapes have palm-sized leaves, and it is the time to hang the green fruits, and if you cut too much, it will affect the hanging fruits.

But Zhang Baoshun didn't care.

"I really can't survive, Brother Zhang, you can only come in the spring of next year!" Zhang Baoshun smiled and said.

Zhang Guodong agreed, but he was full of confidence in his heart. This purple grape is a plant, as long as it is a plant, it can grow well in the peach source, even if the grape branch is only suitable for grafting and transplanting in the early spring.

"Brother Zhang, I also have grapevines at home!" Xiaohu said a little aggressively on the side.

"Hey, you little guy, and Uncle Baoshun are still robbing!" Zhang Baoshun patted Xiaohu's head and laughed.

"Let's go, the bayberry is ripe in April, and I can't see it on the tree, but I hid some in the water cellar!" Zhang Guodong is curious, how to store bayberry in the water cellar?

Zhang Baoshun will reveal the answer to him in a while. Generally, green fresh fruits can not be preserved for a long time, there is no electricity and refrigerators here, so it is best to choose a shady place, but June and July in the north is the beginning of the hot season, the villagers of Shiya Village have thought of a way, usually collect rainwater in the underground water cellar, and the water cellar is built inside and outside two layers, the inner layer is to accommodate rainwater, the outer roadway is dry, plus the inner layer of rainwater cooling, so that the temperature is a lot lower, cool, dry, basically meet the requirements of storing fresh fruits, it is said that the general fruit can be extended to preserve two to three months.

Zhang Baoshun's water cellar is basically the same as the water cellar of most villagers' houses, the outer layer is pressed with a fence gate, and you can see that there are a lot of frames inside, one by one on the horizontal plank, and the advantage of putting it in the air is that it is not easy for rats and other guys to spoil them.

The three of them went in, but Zhang Guodong smelled a smell of realgar powder again.

"This realgar powder is to protect against snakes and scorpions. Snakes prefer to come to shady places, and with this thing, it's much safer inside! Zhang Baoshun introduced.

Zhang Guodong also nodded. Then I saw that on the wooden board in the air, there were seven or eight rattan frames, one of which was estimated to hold forty or fifty catties of bayberry, and there were also some semi-dried vegetables for storage, and then there were more than a dozen jars, which were about the same size as the jar for holding bayberry wine, which should be fruit wine.

In addition, he also found an old urn, a pot-bellied old urn, which can hold at least two or three hundred catties if it is filled with water, and the faint aroma of wine emanates from there, and Zhang Guodong can capture it very sensitively.

"This should be a rice wine vat, here, every family has a big vat, and there are many people who drink rice wine, it seems to have become a big hobby!" Zhang Guodong said in his heart.

However, rice wine is easy to brew, when I was a child in my hometown, I had brewed it at home, it was very sweet and delicious, looking at this big urn, Zhang Guodong was very quiet.

"Come, Xiaohu, help Uncle carry a basket of bayberry out!" Just when Zhang Guodong was observing the storeroom, Zhang Baoshun had already started and beckoned the calf-like little tiger to carry a box of bayberry down.

Zhang Guodong wanted to help, but Xiaohu stubbornly carried himself out immediately, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile helplessly.

Half-sized, unwilling to show weakness in front of others.

"Brother Baoshun, this jar was fired by the village itself?" Zhang Guodong asked as he walked out.

"Yes, the things outside the mountain are too expensive, and it is inconvenient to bring them in, so I have to burn them myself, there is an earthen kiln in front of the village, and a fire is opened once a year to burn some tiles and pottery!" Zhang Baoshun said.

Zhang Guodong wanted to say that I would buy some, but then I thought about it, this is unrealistic. He went out of the mountain with dozens of jars, so how many people must not arouse suspicion?

Can you bring it? In the afternoon, Zhang Baoshun taught Zhang Guodong to brew bayberry wine, with the guidance of Zhang Baoshun, a great expert, Zhang Guodong successfully brewed two jars of bayberry fruit wine, and then sealed it with red clay and oil paper.

In the end, Zhang Baoshun was afraid that the jar would be broken in the bag, so he made a net pocket with a straw rope and wrapped the jar, so that he was not afraid of breaking it when he went out of the mountain.

In the evening, Zhang Guodong went to Taoyuan and planted grape branches, watermelon seeds, and bayberry seeds according to the planned land.

He also put these two jars of bayberry wine in the medicinal herb garden in the hundredfold area. Putting it outside, it always feels like it's not your own.

"Whoa!" As soon as the wine jar was placed, Zhang Guodong heard some impact, turned around and saw that it was the tender roe deer that hit the barbed wire.

This guy has been locked up in barbed wire for a few days, probably because Guan is irritated? Every day, Zhang Guodong only picks some grass and throws it in, but he is not hungry for it.

Zhang Guodong walked over. Within this 100-meter range, Zhang Guodong surrounded it and divided it into ten circles.

The two-meter-high barbed wire fence is enough to trap these animals in and out of it, and they are not afraid that they will run out and spoil the medicinal herbs.

This tender roe deer saw Zhang Guodong coming over, but he didn't retreat, he just leaned in front of the barbed wire and looked at Zhang Guodong, as if he was very curious.

"Silly roe deer!" Zhang Guodong shook his head. He reached out and tried to touch it, but the young roe deer began to retreat, and after running a few steps, he turned around again.

It was supposed to be a male roe deer with a protrusion on its head, which seemed to be the prototype of a long horn. After a few teases, Zhang Guodong finally determined that there is a big gap between the roe deer and the dog, wolf, and Dasha husband and wife.

Not to mention wolves and dogs, it is a bear, he has seen wild puppies and bears get along with people happily, and they are very affectionate and very smart, but it is impossible for this roe deer to be kept as a pet.

After a leisurely day, Zhang Guodong stayed at Yi's house for two more days, and Yilao's body finally healed completely, and he went to the ground neatly.

This surprised everyone, he was so seriously injured, and in his head, he would be fine in a few days, and he vaguely looked as if he was a few years younger.

I also walked a lot faster. As much as the surprise was, no one thought otherwise. On this day, Zhang Guodong was a little impatient, found Yi Lao, and said: "Yi Lao, I'm idle, I want to go to the place where you dug up the Bacchus grass to have a look, I don't know-" PS: The two watches are over.

Today is also two shifts. In fact, if you calculate it, six or seven thousand a day, and almost 200,000 updates in a month, it's actually quite a lot, heh.

Don't dare to show merit, Tiandao's attitude towards this work is to strive for stability, and it can be successfully completed by then. In addition, the deputy Banzhu in the book review area continues to recruit, and those who have time and responsibility can sign up, and the group in the advanced content introduction is looking for the way of heaven.

It's easy, don't scare away! Thank you!
