Chapter 118 Quangong Toad (1) Niujia Winery

Along the way, Niu Chu kept introducing the cultural history of Niujia Winery.

However, the supplement introduced by Su Wei is clearer than Niu Chu.

Seeing this, Niu Chu also changed the topic to introduce others, and muttered in his heart: "If you don't know, you still think that you are the owner of the Niu Family Winery!" ”

The car drove into Shaanxi, and it is a good place to say that Shaanxi.

Shaanxi is one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese nation, 2.12 million years ago Xi'an Lantian Shangchen site, is the earliest human activity site in Northeast Asia, 420,000 years earlier than the earliest primitive human "Yuanmou Man" in China, rewriting history textbooks.

The Weinan Dali people 260,000 years ago were the origin of the direct ancestors of the Chinese, breaking the perception that modern humans are all descendants of African ancestors.

More than 8,000 years ago, Hua Xu, the first grandmother of the Chinese nation, the distant ancestor of Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor, the mother of Fuxi and Nuwa, and the female leader of Huaxu State, created China's fishing, hunting, and farming culture, and created the history of Chinese civilization for 8,000 years.

More than 6,000 years ago, the site of Banpo in Xi'an is a famous matriarchal clan village site of Yangshao culture in the Yellow River Basin.

More than 5,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor tribe and the Yandi tribe living in the Jishui Basin of Shaanxi Province and the Yandi tribe in the Jiangshui Basin merged in the conflict, and gradually formed the earliest ethnic community in Chinese history - the Huaxia tribe, which opened the 5,000-year history of civilization of the Chinese nation.

Niu Chu wanted to take Su Wei and the three of them to eat and drink, but Su Wei refused. Just ate some specialty snacks.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Wei, today I will entertain you to rest and relax, and tomorrow I will take you to Niujia Winery!" Niu Chu said.

Su Wei also felt that it was better to rest first after being tired for a few days, so he nodded in agreement.

Niu Chu was also arranged, and after a while of relaxation, he arranged a good room for the three of them.

Su Wei lay in the bedroom, took out the wine mother toad and stared at it, and at the same time took out the things given by Sima Tong to feed the wine mother toad.

The wine mother toad screamed a few times, watched Su Wei move, and then screamed again.

Su Wei didn't understand and called the mocking thrush again.

"Hello, Yaya Detective Agency!" It's that thick manly voice again.

"Mocking thrush, you're looking for you!" Su Wei said.

"Su Wei? What's going on? The thrush asked, confused.

"Who's around you?" Su Wei asked.

"Yaya, Korean, bald people are here!" The thrush replied.

"In this way, you tell them, and then you fly to Shaanxi! The specific location is the Niujia Winery! I'll pick you up there tomorrow! Su Wei said.

"What should I do? Shaanxi? Big brother, it's a little difficult for you to get this distance! The thrush exclaimed.

"You are a mocking thrush, more than 2,000 kilometers is also a matter for you?" Su Wei touted.

"Don't say it, I'm not going, I'm a meat wing, not a machine, I'm tired when I get there!" The thrush said unfooledly.

"Then forget it, there was still some good things for you, if you don't come, forget it!" Su Wei said.

"Don't try to lie to me, how can there be so many good things for you to find!" The mocking thrush was slightly moved, but still said unconvinced.

"If you don't believe it, forget it, I still have something to do here, hang up the phone first!" Su Wei was about to hang up the phone as he spoke.

"Su Wei, what are you there?" The mocking thrush asked anxiously.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a green olive!" Su Wei said.

"Green olives! Really fake! The thrush asked excitedly.

"What I harvested at Sima's house, you really fake!" Su Wei said slowly.

"You wait for me!" The thrush hung up directly.

"Hehe, the sample can't get you anymore!" Su Wei said with a smile after hearing it.

Su Wei took out the green olives wrapped in a sealed bag, this green olives only taste unpalatable to people, and there are hangover things, but it is a rare delicacy for poultry, the reason why there are few green olives is because the taste of ripe attracts birds to eat, and they eat more, and the harvest is not good, so no one grows them, and only some large winemaking families have some inventory, and they have to beware of birds to steal food.

After everything was done, Su Wei fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Niu Chu took Su Wei and the three of them to visit the Niujia Winery.

Su Wei and the three of them were stunned, this is a winery, it is simply a small palace.

I saw neatly dressed workers lining up to welcome them.

Su Wei and the others walked in a little embarrassed.

Everyone only heard that a few distinguished guests had come, and they were new tasters who were shining at the wine tasting, and they were not young, and one of them also pointed out the small tricks of the rich winery.

However, when he saw Su Wei and the others, he was still stunned. This is too young, and for those who have been in contact with winemakers for many years, the youngest needs to be about thirty-five years old to be called a wine taster. But the three people in front of them don't seem to have any!

Not only did the two have some immaturity on their faces as college students who had just left school, but they looked at their early twenties, and the oldest one was about thirty.

"Is this a distinguished guest, or is it that no one has yet arrived?"

"How do I know! I just heard from the owner that there were a few distinguished guests! I haven't seen anything like that. ”

"It's also that we just got out of distillation, and we haven't had time to watch the wine tasting broadcast yet."

"As soon as you said that, I remembered, who are the top three, in front of us, in addition to Sima Jia and Du Kang, where is the other!"

"I heard that it's a rich winery, but the third place can't recover the person they lost!"

"What's going on?"

"You don't even know that...... I don't know if you've just come out of the cellar! ”

…………

There were a lot of people talking in small voices, which made Niu Chu very embarrassed.

However, Su Wei and the three of them didn't care, it is true that other people's tasters are all fifty or sixty-year-old old men, and now they bring two hairy boys and say that they are wine tasters, and they also point out problems that other tasters have not found, which makes no one believe it immediately.

Su Wei smiled at Niu Chu and said, "Master Niu Zhuang, will we give a speech first, or will we visit your brewing process first?" ”

Niu Chu thought for a while and said, "Why don't you visit the brewing process of our Niujia Winery first, and if there is anything wrong, you can correct us." ”

Su Wei listened and nodded. However, I also know that this Niu Chu is just polite, how can there be a problem with the wine made by the Niu family winery, and with a strictly forbidden drinking party chairman like Niu Toyota, how can he allow his own wine to have problems.

Su Wei and Wei Tong followed Niu Chu to visit the winery, while Tang Dongming made an excuse to stay in the car and wait to pick up the thrush.

Sure enough, when Su Wei and Wei Tong came out, they saw Tang Dongming standing panting mocking thrush on his shoulder.

The mocking thrush was about to speak, but someone next to him quickly shut up.

"Brother Niu, it's almost noon, let's eat something and take a rest, and talk about other things in the afternoon!" Su Wei asked inquiringly.

"Okay, after a morning visit, I'll take you to a nice restaurant nearby to have something to eat, and the food is very good!" Niu Chu said.

"Isn't this too much trouble for you, there are still so many things in the winery!" Su Weichi asked. At the same time, he glanced at the thrush.

"No trouble!" Niu Chu said with a smile.

As soon as Niu Chu's words fell, he heard a woman screaming.

"Oh no, the cellar temperature is wrong!"

The smile on Niu Chu's face froze suddenly, and was replaced by a panic.

"I'll take a look, so Mr. Su, Mr. Wei, you two are at your own convenience, you go first if you want to eat, and I'll go over later!" Niu Chu said.

"Go, go! This temperature is a big deal, don't go wrong! Su Wei hurriedly said.

Niu Chu quickly turned around and ran back when he heard this, not at all having the same stable image as before.

In fact, it is no wonder, because the brewing process is complicated and cumbersome, probably including raw material selection, raw material crushing, batching, cooking and gelatinization, cooling, mixing and fermentation in the cellar.

The first few are okay, because if you find a problem, you can change the variety of wine at any time to reduce losses.

For example, shochu is a high-concentration alcoholic beverage, generally 50~65 degrees. According to the different saccharification, fermentation strains and brewing processes used, it can be divided into three categories: large koji liquor, small koji liquor, and bran koji liquor.

Bran koji wine can be divided into two types: solid fermented wine and liquid fermented wine.

The raw materials of these three types of sake are the same, but because of the different processes, the different amounts of additives, the different brewing time, and the different amounts of microbial fermentation, the taste of the brewing is different, the names are different, and the method of drinking wine is also different.

Fermentation in the cellar is different, it is the most important step.

When entering the cellar, the temperature of the fermented material should be 18~20 °C (not more than 26 °C in summer), and the fermented material in the cellar can neither be pressed tightly nor too loose, and it is generally appropriate to fill the fermented material about 630~640 kg per cubic meter volume. After loading, cover the sauce with a layer of bran, seal it with pit mud, and add a layer of bran.

The fermentation process is mainly to grasp the temperature and analyze the changes in the moisture, acidity, wine amount and starch residue of the mash at any time. The length of fermentation time is determined by various factors, ranging from 3 days to 4~5 days. Generally, when the temperature in the cellar rises to 36~37 °C, it can be ended

If there is a problem with the temperature during the fermentation in the cellar, it will be a big problem, the wine will be over-fermented by microorganisms due to temperature changes, which will change the taste of the wine, if it can be released from the cellar in advance, it will only be a lighter taste of the wine, if all the previous efforts are in vain, it will be a fatal loss for any winery.

"Well done!" Su Wei praised the mocking thrush.

"Small!" The thrush said triumphantly.

"Mockingthrush, why are you here?" Wei Tong asked happily.

"It's not your evil team leader Su Wei who asked me to come, but I flew more than 2,000 kilometers to get here, and I didn't have any rest in between! The wings are about to break! The mocking thrush grumbled.

Su Wei listened to it and took out the green olive without ambiguity, and shook it in front of the mocking thrush.
