Chapter 7 Want Me to Protect You?
When the pungent smell came from the brewing vat of the tavern, Du Sansi knew that his liquor had succeeded.
And this took her a month's work.
Glad that no one has troubled her this month, Du San thought.
She originally thought that it would only take one day, but she didn't expect that she underestimated the difficulty of brewing, she used to hear the classmates of the Baijiu College say that the brewing process is only a few steps of material selection, steaming, drying, cultivation and fermentation...... She doesn't remember at all!
However, according to the memory of the original owner, there are also many types of koji, after all, she also heard the students of the Baijiu Academy mention in her previous life that there was already a famous book of winemaking in the Northern Song Dynasty - "Beishan Wine Classic".
There are thirteen categories of koji in the "Beishan Wine Sutra", and it is also rumored that "no medicine can not make koji", so if you want to make koji, you must add Chinese herbal medicine.
However, craftsmen in this era are not highly valued, so those koji recipes are almost the private collections of each family, and it is impossible to circulate them in the market.
And the few recipes in the original owner's mind...... Barren, too barren!
What palace cinnamon, atractylodes, almonds and the like, to peel and grind finely, and into the white noodles, plus half a bucket of rootless water, stir in one place and fuse into a filling, and it can be used immediately.
When Du San thought about this formula, he laughed at that time.
It's that she has never learned to make liquor, but she has heard that friend tinkering with liquor every day, and she has heard of a few general recipes for liquor, that is, the recipes she casually recited have at least ten or twenty Chinese herbs, and the process is complicated.
It's not like the original owner's recipe, and it will be desirable in half an hour, so how much flavor can the koji brew?
No wonder those people stole the wine and returned it, and the wine was so full that she didn't smell much when she fell to the ground and mopped the floor.
But when she thinks about it, she can understand it.
Because in this era, although there is a saying that "alcohol and medicine are of the same origin", after all, many people still think that "it is a medicine that is three parts poison", and most people dare not use too many medicines, and only a very few people can make "strange wine".
First, only professional brewers can study this way, and the good recipe must be for their own use, and second, for others...... They may not be able to buy medicinal herbs to make them.
Du Sansi was excited for a day, and when he returned the umbrella, he went to buy all the medicinal materials that he could remember from his memory.
Fifty catties of white noodles are not less than details, and the original owner's recipe is added to the Taoist head one or two, windproof one or two, grinding fine for the end, and also divided into five places to mix noodles for a while. Then choose five catties of Xanthium to chop and mash, add water to mix, take the juice and mix it......
This is the fragrant cinnamon song in the "Beishan Wine Classic", because the amount of selection is unknown, Du Sansi did a few points before finally making a pot of finished products, this has been three days, and I have to get up early and dark to find a carpenter to build tables and chairs, staring at the construction of the bathroom Don't be lazy.
Du Sansi has strict requirements for daily hygiene, and he doesn't even want to make the indoor color gloomy, so he gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to buy a few pieces of glass that are now used as screens in the bathroom. There is also a glazed tile on it, a candle holder on the wall, and a special wooden barrel for rinsing water.
There is a sinkhole behind the house, which is rarely lived, but it is also convenient. If a farmer wants to buy pickles, he is not afraid of dirtying the ground in the house.
Just for this, I went to ten or two shadows!
Fortunately, the result was still very beautiful and clean, at least the hired staff who helped saw that her eyes had changed, and asked privately if she could tell her if she could tell her about this method, Du Sansi of course nodded.
After these things were done, and after four or five days, those tables and chairs were also delivered, and Du Sansi's dried glutinous rice and wheat grains could finally be used to pile wine and ferment.
Then Du Sansi's motivation was finally slapped in the face in the distillation stage.
The fermented wine jar was divided into five large jars, and the jars were all cleaned, and she chose one of them to ferment for five days and try to distill.
Distillation is actually to boil it, and then condense the mist into a liquid, this process takes time, and Du Sansi also knows that there is not much taste after such a short fermentation.
But...... But it's too bullying to have any taste, right?!
Is it really going to take months for her? Du Sansi clearly remembered that the people in the academy could sometimes make the wine smell in a few days, why couldn't he do it?
She didn't admit defeat either, she was not short of money or food now, and the little villain seemed to have forgotten her, Du Sansi gradually put her mind at ease, and simply plunged into the brewery.
Ten days later, she finally came up with some wine, and the taste was basically not far from the ordinary wine on the market she bought.
Fifteen days later, Du Sansi suddenly had dark circles under his eyes, and the smell of wine was stronger, which was also mixed with this faint medicinal fragrance, the entrance was cool, the stomach had a low fever, and the aftertaste was already more than aftertaste!
This made her very happy, and she happily chose several wine jars and put them in a batch, which was about seven or eight degrees.
Twenty days later, the wine of more than ten degrees also came out, and the strong aroma almost broke through the roof.
Du Sansi's face flushed, and he happily ran out to buy a batch of glutinous rice and wheat grains for later use, and thought about making modern beer as well.
Until a month later, the smell of alcohol at Du Sansi's tavern could even be smelled by passers-by, and the neighbors on both sides were greatly surprised.
They don't know much about wine, but when Du Mu makes wine, the taste has never been so strong and fragrant, and it lasts for a long time.
"Xiao San'er is looking for a new wine recipe, right? It's just too rushed, I don't know what it's like to brew it. ”
"The taste is quite rushing, nowhere else is such a bad nose, I saw her come back with several bags of flour yesterday, where did she get the money?"
"Hey...... Needless to say? ”
They showed a bit of meaning on their faces, but they were all a little envious in their hearts.
Du Sansi was bullied in front of her face more in her previous life, but people in this world pay more attention to morality - at least on the surface, she has never bullied her as an orphan girl in person, and Du Sansi pretends not to feel their blushing and banter.
Besides, there are still legends circulating around Duan Yanei who did justice for her.
Du Sansi's whole mind is on the taste of wine.
Nowadays, everyone likes sweet wine, and the spirits are all loved by military people and wanderers, and this place is full of ordinary people, so I am afraid it will sell very well.
The neighbors were worried, but Du Sansi was not in a hurry at all.
She knows that everyone likes sweet wine, but she understands one more truth - strange goods can live.
Sometimes, you don't need to make your wine how good it is, it may just need to be different to make it memorable and not worry about not selling.
Modern canned herring is a sure thing.
When Du Sansi had no money, he also engaged in eating broadcasts, and he ate that thing, and he ate it directly until he had stomach cramps, but he also earned his own tuition from a generous rich second generation.
A month later, Du Sansi looked at the rows of wine jars on the shelves excitedly, so excited that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he was still bouncing in the room in the middle of the moon.
"Money, it's all money!"
Du Sansi smiled so much that there were tears in his eyes, remembering the hard work he had when he was handing out flyers and doing live broadcasts, and suddenly felt that life was not bad in ancient times.
At least in addition to making wine, she also knows some modern dishes and snacks, such as yuba, spicy strips, crab roe xiaolongbao, bucket chicken......
It's not difficult to live smoothly.
She is a timid and small person, and her biggest dream is to live in peace and not be bullied.
Holding the sleeping little milk dog and sitting on a small stool and smirking for a long time, Du Sansi rubbed his red eyes and prepared to get up and sleep.
I don't want to be happy and sad, and suddenly there was a bang, and the door of the hotel was suddenly hit by something!
Du Sansi was so happy, she almost scared her soul away, and instantly hugged the little milk dog.
The little milk dog is very clingy to her, and she is not afraid to be suddenly woken up, and innocently lies on her arm with a "whining" sound, staring at her with big eyes in confusion.
"There are people outside," Du Sansi put the little milk dog down, picked up the stool next to him, and swallowed his saliva, "Xiaobai, you step back a little." ”
The little milk dog seemed to understand, and obediently leaned his little head and didn't move.
Du Sansi walked to the door, and when he was three steps away from the door, he stiffened his neck and asked: "The tavern hasn't opened yet, and the guests and guests want to drink, so let's come back in two days!" ”
In the middle of the night, the third watch definitely didn't come for drinking, Du San thought about giving the other party a step and letting the other party retreat.
As a result, the person outside the door laughed in a low voice, and his voice was very deep, as if he had seen through her lust and guilt, and he didn't want to taste it: "I don't want wine, open the door!" ”
Du Sansi was about to cry, where did he dare to open the door?
"your grandpa!"
Bah! Mouthful again.
Du Sansi's face faded with joy, and all of them turned into panic, "No...... I mean, I'm here to sell alcohol, you...... If you don't buy alcohol, let's leave, you dare to trespass, I told my brother to beat you! ”
The people outside the door laughed, "You are an orphan girl, and you don't have any relatives to come to the door this month, where is the brother?" Well? ”
The last word "um" is cold and playful, and it is a little ill-intentioned, which makes people's scalps tingle.
Du Sansi felt cold on the soles of his feet.
What does this mean, did someone spy on her for a month?
But she is an orphan girl, and she doesn't have an enmity with others, the mean aunt will definitely not dare to come, and the little villain will ...... her It's quite caring......
Mom, it can't be that she's going in and out to buy things during this time, don't be targeted by some hooligans, right?
In a panic, Du Sansi's eyes turned red.
"Don't come in!" She didn't hesitate to pull a relationship with herself, "You...... You know Duan Saburo, let me tell you, I saved his life, if you dare to break in, he won't let you go! ”
As she spoke, her voice choked, "I finally survived, why are you bullying me......"
The little milk dog "Wang" came over and rubbed her ankle with his head to try to comfort her, but Du Sansi didn't cry.
There was silence outside the door, and there was no movement for a long time.
Du Sansi almost thought that the person was gone, and he was eager to step forward to take a look, but before he could get closer, the window next to him was pushed open.
The young man in black, with red lips and white teeth, turned in, leaned against the window with his hands in his hands, and looked at her playfully, "I don't know...... So you're so important to this office? ”
Du Sansi's mind was empty and confused.
Depend on?
"Silly?"
Duan Sanlang walked over, his eyes were direct, his aura was impressive, his tone was lazy, the dim candle flame failed to illuminate the whole room, his face was only shrouded in a thin halo, Du Sansi only felt more and more that the young man's facial features were exquisite, beautiful and beautiful, and the cinnabar red at the corners of his eyes was sultry......
Like a goblin coming out of the flowers.
"You want me to protect you?"
The male goblin turned his back on his hand, his eyes grabbed her heart, and he hooked his lips slightly, "It's not impossible, it's just that ...... What can you give me? ”
Du Sansi's face turned white and reacted suddenly.
it!
Why did the anti-running little cannon fodder come in? She doesn't want to have anything to do with the protagonist and supporting characters in the book!!
She wanted to roar: You go, you hurry up! Walk hemply!!
But she's cowardly.
"I ...... I don't have any money," she explained, in a good voice, "I just ...... It's just a casual roar, I can't afford you. ”
Duan Saburo's smile stiffened slightly, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze gradually became dangerous.
"Have you ever thought about 'buying' me?"
Should you say you're bold, or are you cowardly?
