Chapter 207: Winemaking
The night is like a hook, the willow tops on the moon, everything is silent, and the rain is full of dew!
At this time, on the slope of Xilijiazhuang, a person suddenly flashed, and it was our Song Zihang by the moonlight, Song Zihang came to Xilijiazhuang in the middle of the night for a purpose, and he was going to make sixteen spices of imperial wine tonight.
Imperial wine, a sixteen-spice wine, is rare in the world, it is the top wine, and it is also the most authentic wine that Song Zihang has ever drunk.
There is a recipe for making royal wine, and the recipe is just in Song Zihang's mind, according to Song Zihang's mental memory, making royal wine is a lot of exquisite, and it needs to be done three steaming, three brewing and three fermentation, a total of three years, three spring and autumn to make it.
And in addition to these three steaming, three brewing and three fermentation, the most important thing to make royal wine is grapes, grapes must be found the sweetest, grapes that are not sweet enough can not make good wine, but the grapes of Xilijiazhuang are the best, the taste is sweet enough, can be used as top wine raw materials.
At this time, Song Zihang came to Xilijiazhuang and stood on the hillside, looked around, followed by Xilijiazhuang, and then entered Xilijiazhuang, and Song Zihang looked for it in Xilijiazhuang, and found that a well was good, so Song Zihang dived into the well, drilled a special channel in the well with true qi, and then used a water avoidance trick to make the water of the well not enter this channel, and at the same time, Song Zihang also used true qi to build a large enough space in the channel, which is the wine cellar prepared by Song Zihang.
Song Zihang made the wine cellar, followed by the flying body out of the well, and the next moment came to the courtyard of Li Laojiao, and found a few large vats, Song Zihang first washed the vats a few times with true qi, followed by a hand pointing to the sky, and read in his mouth: "Come back, rain and dew gather!" ”
After reading it, followed by the trees on the surrounding hillside, the dew on the flowers and plants was all collected by Song Zihang into the tank, and the reason why Song Zihang came in the middle of the night was actually convenient to prepare to collect the dew.
Dew is a scarce thing, a flower, a grass may only have one drop, two drops of dew, but you can't stand the accumulation of a lot, when the dew all over the mountains and fields are collected, Song Zihang directly collected the dew of the three tanks.
Dew is naturally filtered clear water, and washing grapes with this water can absorb all the impurities on the appearance of the grapes, which can avoid affecting the taste of the grapes.
Song Zihang saw that the dew was ready, followed by another pinching of the law, pointed to the sky and said, "Come to the tank." ”
Song Zihang said that the next moment, the big tanks in the uninhabited village all flew up into the sky and arrived in Song Zihang's yard, Song Zihang pointed to the well, followed by a water dragon flew out, and cleaned these big tanks for a while, and washed these big tanks spotlessly.
At this time, Song Zihang stretched out his hand and pointed to the surrounding hillside, and you read in your mouth: "Grapes are coming!" ”
A roar came out, followed by a sudden movement on the surrounding hillside, and the next moment I saw that the grapes on the surrounding hillside were lined up, and a group of three slowly floated over, followed by one by one into the vat, washing themselves with dew.
However, these grapes were not washed too much, and Song Zihang always paid attention to the spirit in the process of cleaning, and only washed off the pesticide residues and dust on the grapes when it was clear, but did not destroy the wild yeast group on the grapes, you must know that these yeast groups are the main elements of wine fermentation, and there is no need to drink this wine without them!
The grapes here were washed, and then Song Zihang waved his hand and said, "The wind is coming." ”
Followed by a strong wind blowing directly on the grapes, followed by the dew on the grapes instantly dried without a drop left, this step is very important, many people do not drain the water when making wine, which directly causes the wine he makes to be sour, unpleasant, this is because the water has deteriorated in the grape fermentation, resulting in the wine is sour and can not be drunk.
So after the grapes are washed, they must be drained, and after the water is drained, Song Zihang put the grapes into the vat with a wave of his hand, and at the same time, Song Zihang took the true qi as the driving force and directly began to wash the grapes, put them in the jar, and the true qi vibrated to wash the dust. Soon the grapes in the mountains were all washed, and a total of eighteen vats were placed.
After the grapes were washed, Song Zihang picked all the grapes from the grape stalk with true qi, followed by a shock of true qi, and shattered the grapes, the purpose of which was to facilitate the fermentation of grapes, and ordinary people made them when they were put into containers, pinch the grapes, Song Zihang didn't have to be so troublesome if he had true qi, and he could shatter all the grapes with one shock.
Convenient and fast, one person tops a group of people, when Song Zihang finished this step, he began to add sugar to the eighteen cylinders, adding sugar This step is very important, because he can adjust the taste, if he likes sweet, add more, if he doesn't like it, add a little, but can't not add it, because sugar is an important factor in wine fermentation.
After adding sugar, at this time Song Zihang began to seal the eighteen vats, sealed with yellow mud, and at this point, the general wine only needs to wait for the grapes in this vat to ferment and become wine, but the royal wine is different, and the royal wine needs to start steaming.
At this time, I saw Song Zihang snap his fingers, followed by eighteen vats from the ground, and at the same time, a bunch of flames appeared under the vat, and the flames directly began to heat the vat, and began to steam, about half an hour of steaming, and the grapes in the pot were steamed.
Time is the most mysterious power in the world, even Song Zihang didn't have much to grasp, but Song Zihang saw a fragment of a time circle on an ancient secret book, which was already very broken, and the arranged circle had only one function, that is, to accelerate the time of inanimate objects.
Song Zihang carved the time circle, and then entered thirty percent of the mana into the circle, but in an instant, the time of the time circle passed for a year, which means that the wine in the circle has been fermented for a year.
At this time, Song Zihang opened the lid of the eighteen vats, fished out the grape skins floating on them, and then sealed the vats again, then steamed them again, and then urged the time circle again.
Immediately followed by Song Zihang opened the lid of the wine vat again, and then removed the residue in the wine vat with true qi, and then steamed it again to complete the third steaming, at this time Song Zihang sealed the wine again and began to urge the time circle for the third time.
