Chapter 620: Winemaking

() Murong Hui got up and walked over to carefully observe these wine-making utensils.

Seeing that they all came over, the surrounding palace maids and grandmothers also came forward to watch the excitement.

After Murong Hui looked at it for a while, she said to Mama Zhang: "Hurry up and move this thing to the side hall, and then move the sorghum over." ”

Murong Hui wanted to make a kind of sorghum wine this time, so he specially ordered someone to prepare a lot of sorghum.

After Mama Zhang heard this, she hurriedly asked people to move it, and Murong Hui ordered someone to prepare tea and taste it carefully.

Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing were outside the palace on weekdays, and it was difficult to drink such expensive tea, so they were quiet and didn't make any noise to see the wine-making utensils.

After everything was packed up, Mama Zhang came over, saluted Murong Hui respectfully, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, everything is arranged." ”

"The cellar is ready, too?"

Murong Hui lowered the teacup and confirmed again.

"It's all prepared according to your arrangement."

After hearing this, Mama Zhang hurriedly answered.

After Murong Hui heard this, she got up and ordered Mama Zhang to take out the jar she brought from the palace.

Mama Zhang didn't know what was inside, but seeing that Murong Hui was so cautious, she nodded respectfully, and then went to find out the jar and put it on the table.

"What is this?"

Gao Ziyue's eyes flashed and she asked with some curiosity.

"It's the koji I made in advance in the palace."

Murong Hui looked at her with a blank look, obviously knowing very little about such a thing.

Murong Hui didn't explain much, but asked people to cook the grain first and use it to make wine later.

Mama Zhang also knows a little about winemaking, so she knows that Murong Hui plans to make wine according to the traditional method.

"Yes, the old slave has stepped back."

After Mama Huang left, Murong Hui shook her head helplessly.

This man had always pretended to be very low-key.

But now that her identity is clear, it has been proved that she is the grandmother next to Lin Yingxue, but she let it go.

often refuted Murong Hui a few words, and sometimes he would have some thoughts about Murong Hui.

Probably in her eyes, many of the things Murong Hui did were just children's nonsense.

Murong

Hui was too lazy to say that after Mama Feng Huang left, she took care of the two of them to play chess pieces together.

The three of them played two games before Mama Huang came over and said, "The princess sorghum has been cooked, what will you do next?" ”

"Spread the sorghum rice to cool first, and then cook it again."

Murong Hui was holding a chess piece in his hand with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After Mama Huang heard this, she continued to work, until she cooked the sorghum rice again, and Murong Hui ordered someone to take the jar of wine koji and walk towards the side hall.

"Put the koji in later, and remember to stir it as you go."

Murong Hui took a look at the sorghum rice cooking situation and found that it was cooked according to the steps she said, so she ordered someone to add the koji.

"Princess, why do you have to steam it twice?"

Gao Ziyue wanted to be a curious baby, approached the sorghum rice, and looked inside.

Then she looked at Murong Hui with a puzzled expression, obviously waiting for Murong Hui to answer.

"The most important thing in this sake is the configuration of the koji, and everything else is basically the same, and the steps of this sake brewing have always been the same."

Murong Hui really didn't know why the grain had to be steamed for cooking, and she just followed the recipe step by step.

It took half an hour for them to add the koji to the sorghum rice.

Murong Hui always felt that the stirring was not uniform enough, so he asked people to stir it for a while, and then ordered someone to put these sorghum rice mixed with koji in a wooden barrel prepared in advance to ferment.

Murong Hui cooked a lot of sorghum this time, so he filled more than ten barrels of sorghum rice.

Murong Hui, Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing all came over to help, and when they were done, Murong Hui ordered someone to seal these moving jars and place them in a corner of the side hall.

She only then talked to everyone about the several aspects to pay attention to in winemaking, and then did not let people move the altar, and had already beckoned two to leave.

Gao Ziyue hadn't seen enough just now, and now she couldn't help but be reluctant: "I really don't know what this sorghum wine tastes like." ”

Murong Hui agreed: "In another seven to ten days, this wine will be brewed, and then we will taste it." ”

When Gao Ziyue heard this, her face couldn't help but show a little helpless dark color.

Apparently she was a little disappointed that she couldn't stay and wait until the wine had finished fermenting.

"I've counted the time, and after nine days, it's Mu Xiu, so I'll order someone to send some wine to the house of the two of you, and the rest to the palace."

Murong Hui had already calculated everything before entering the palace.

Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing couldn't help laughing, when they were loading the wine just now, they had done their best, although they were basically doing a favor.

Therefore, both of them are looking forward to drinking the sake brewed this time.

Soon Murong Hui led the topic to the imperial wine, the three of them were very familiar with the imperial wine, although some of them had not tasted it personally, but after all, they understood the characteristics of none of them.

A few people unconsciously chatted until nightfall, and they were still unsatisfied.

Gao Ziyue held her little face and said with a smile: "Why did it get dark so quickly, as if after arriving in Zhuangzi, time would be faster for a long time." ”

"I don't think it's that time is fast, but in Zhuangzi, you don't have to follow red tape, let alone go to the study to study, once you relax, you will feel that time is faster."

Xu Qing gently scratched Gao Ziyue's nose with her fingers, and teased with a smile.

But even Murong Hui felt that what Xu Qing said made sense, although it was better not to go to the palace on the conditions of Zhuangzi, she did prefer to stay in Zhuangzi.

"Your Highness, it's better to ......"

Gao Ziyue has never cared much about the courses in the study, in her opinion, those courses are very boring, if it is not for the better marriage in the future, who is willing to stay in the palace and take those boring classes?

"Five days is the limit, it can't be more, it's the first time I've been away from the palace for so long since I was a child."

Murong Hui didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and then opened her mouth to refuse.

Gao Ziyue was a little disappointed, but she originally wanted to test Murong Hui for a few words.

Since she didn't succeed, she simply enjoyed these rare days of vacation.

After dinner, the three of them sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the fireflies flickering outside the window, and chatted quietly.

In Murong Hui's short life experience, this is definitely a rare warm memory.

The three of them chatted until late at night, and were urged by their grandmother to go back to their respective rooms to rest.

The next morning, Murong Hui immediately ordered someone to find Erya and continue to show them the way to Zhuangzi.

They changed directions this time, but this time they didn't see much workmanship.
