Winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it is the second semester of the third year of junior high school. Since she passed the final exam of the culinary training course, Saturday is also free. So, the winemaking plan that she had been thinking about for a long time could be put on the agenda. What's more, now that the Internet is developed, a lot of information about the brewing of various fruit wines, flower wines, grain wines, etc., can quickly be collected. Therefore, Xi Yizheng did not consider attending any winemaking training class. She printed out all the materials related to brewing, bound them into a book, numbered them, and put them in Xuanbang's study. When you decide what kind of sake to brew, you just need to take out the relevant information and check it out.

The next step is the preparation of the materials. She wanted to learn how to make fruit wine first.

Because there are a lot of ripe fruits in the bracelet, and the usual food is very limited, most of the fruits are still hanging on the branches when they are ripe. This time, she decided to make several kinds of delicious and healthy fruit wines with abundant reserves: grapes, apples, citrus, lychees, green plums, bayberry, pomegranates, cherries, peaches, and dates. She had drunk a lot of these fruit wines in her previous life. In her previous life, she was busy with her career, and she didn't pay attention to any crafts or interests other than fashion design. When I was 25 years old, I bought a villa with a special wine cellar to store a lot of fine fruit wine from my collection. Now it's cheaper for the man to enjoy. Xi thought bitterly. Strangely, she remembers those treasured fine wines far more than Xia Shijie. It can be said that after the precipitation of this period of time after being reborn, that man has completely turned into nothing in his heart.

In this world, when she was shopping, she found that there were not many types of fruit wine, only grapes, lychees, bayberry and other fruits. Last time I drank red wine, I found it not to be ordinary unpleasant. So, she decided to make it herself. I secretly made up my mind to wait until these fruit wines were made, and I had to brew papaya, persimmon, durian, loquat, grapefruit, dragon fruit, blueberries, longan and other fruits. Anyway, there are many ripe fruits in the bracelet, and I am not afraid of wasting. When the fruit wine is proficient, the flowers in full bloom of the bracelet are also made into various kinds of fine wine to taste. Although the flower brew is famous, I haven't drunk it yet. Hehe. In this life, she decided to try everything she liked. Never waste your life after being born again.

The fruit trees in the bracelet were planted by her in several mountains, so it was easy to put them away, one place a day, and it took five days to finally pick all the fruits that were the first to make wine, and she picked all the ripe fruits with a heart. Now there are only some green fruits left on the branches, which will take some more time to ripen. Due to the constant temperature, the ripening time of the fruit is shorter than that of the outside world, and the general cycle is only 3-6 months. The grapes were placed by her on the low slope not far from Xuanyuan, and the grape trellis built with bamboo was more than 100 square meters, looking from a distance, like a natural green tent. There are two types of grapes, purple red grapes and green milk grapes. Anyway, there are a lot of them, so I'm going to try both of them into fruit sake.

The raw materials of fruit wine are harvested and stacked in the Xuanyuan patio. Seeing that the entire patio was full of all kinds of fruits, I couldn't help but have a headache. At that time, there will be a lot of winemaking tools and auxiliary materials, and where will I put the finished fruit wine?

Relentlessly, she teleported several places within the bracelet in an attempt to find a place where she felt it might be possible to store the wine. Eventually, a naturally formed cave was found in several cols full of precious wood. Hidden among a few tall wild mulberry trees.

She found a night pearl at the bottom of the box from Xuanyuan's bedroom and hung it in the concave and convex place on the roof of the cave. Suddenly, the originally dark cave seemed like daylight. The whole cave is more than 50 meters long and 10 meters wide, winding and undulating, the cave wall is quite smooth, there is no protruding sharp stone, and the stone ground is flat. The temperature inside the cave is a few degrees lower than outside, and Xi Yizheng is slightly cold in the cave wearing spring clothes. Estimated to be no more than 15 degrees Celsius, it is a natural place to store wine! Xi Yizheng was excited. She swept the cave and its vicinity. I'm going to set up the brewing site at the entrance of the cave, well, looking at the sparkling and plump mulberry fruit on the wild mulberry tree, squinting and thinking about a mulberry fruit wine is not bad!

After the discovery of the natural wine cellar and the winemaking studio, the next work was much more interesting. Xi Yizheng smoked for a Saturday and went to the market to buy all kinds of necessary tools and accessories for winemaking. Instead of choosing modern wine-making equipment such as mashers, fermenters, and sterilizers, she was ready to use the traditional wine-making method to make fruit wine, so she chose 10 large wooden barrels to mash the fruit; 50 potbellies can be sealed in jars for fermentation; 10 stainless steel steamers for heating and sterilization; 20 siphons for the use of juice clear; 50 50L pottery wine jars are specially used to store wine; 100 bottles of premium wine with matching cork stoppers are used to hold the wine. There is also a large stack of clean gauze for filtration, in addition, 50 kilograms of koji, 35-degree liquor, earth rock sugar and other accessories were bought, so that the merchants sent them to the side door of the community and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around.

Move the Demon Martial God Ding in the refining room to the open space outside the cave, because if you want to heat it, you must use fire, and the Demon Martial God Ding itself has its own fire, which will not be extinguished for ten thousand years. Nowadays, there is not much chance of refining, and it can only be used for brewing. Xi Yizheng sighed secretly, it's a pity. If the old immortal alchemy originators of the Demon Martial Star knew that they actually used the Demon Martial God Ding, which they regarded as an artifact, as a brewing tool, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood and die on the spot. Xi Yizheng thought evilly.

The preparations are basically completed, and the time is also in late June, and the high school entrance examination, which represents the end of the junior high school career, is also approaching. Xi Yizheng thought about it for a while, but decided to deal with the high school entrance examination first. Let's do it during the summer vacation.

After a week of sprints, in the high school entrance examination of the third year of junior high school, she was directly admitted to the key high school affiliated to China University with the first overall score in the city. Xi Yidi also did well in the exam, with the second overall score of Yinglai Junior High School and the fifth in the city, and was successfully promoted to Huada High School; Fan Youmin and Fang Zhe also entered the high school attached to BGI. A group of friends congratulated each other and smiled: the next three years will still be together.

Xi's parents who learned the good news couldn't close their mouths for several days. As soon as the admission letter was received, a group of relatives and friends were invited to celebrate in the most upscale restaurant in the city center. Although Xi Yizheng and Xi Yidi were tired of coping with the congratulations of relatives and friends from all walks of life, they gained a lot of money. Old Man Xi gave Xi Yizheng and Xi Yidi the latest mobile phones in Xi Yiqing's jealous gaze. This is an extremely rare gift among 14-year-old peers. And Xi Yiqing is now in her third year of high school, and she doesn't have her own mobile phone.

Mr. and Mrs. Fang still gave each brother and sister a red envelope, letting them buy whatever they liked. Xi's father and mother also gave their children a big reward this time: they signed up for the brother and sister to participate in the 10-day five-star tour of Yunnan, and the travel time was set for August 5. Xi Yizheng and Xi Yidi were excited. Xi Yizheng has not been out of Beijing since he came to this world, oh, going to Baoding's grandfather's house for the New Year is not counted. And Xi Yidi has not had the opportunity to go far since he was selected by the special team and asked for special training twice a month. Xi Yixiao gave the brothers and sisters a special gift: a high-end mountain bike each. Because high school is far away from home, it takes more than half an hour to walk. It's about 10 minutes by bike. Xi Yizheng is goose yellow, and Xi Yidi is black. Both said they liked it.

After the excitement, the next summer vacation is finally clear. Xi Yidi went to special training again, considering that he was going to travel in August, so he was ready to spend time in the special operations group training during this time. Xi's parents also went to work, and she could finally start the long-planned brewing business. Xi Yizheng thought excitedly.

The process of making each fruit wine is similar, and there are mainly cold and hot operations. Cold operation, i.e. the brewing of the wine does not need to go through a heating procedure. Thermal operation, as the name suggests, is heated. Among the ten kinds of fruits selected by Xi Yizheng this time, grapes, green plums, bayberry, cherries, and jujubes can be directly selected by the cold operation brewing process. Apples, citrus, lychees, pomegranates, and peaches are brewed because the fruits are large and cannot be fermented by themselves.

The cold operation process is relatively simple: select fresh fruits without any damage or stains, wash them, drain them, put them in jars with good sealing potbelly, put an appropriate amount of rock sugar at intervals, and add an appropriate amount of liquor according to personal taste; Seal and store ready. Generally, the ripening time of fruit wine is 1-6 months. The longer it is stored, the more mellow it becomes. But winemaking does not require the addition of liquor, only rock sugar. Because the grapes themselves are fermentable.

The hot operation winemaking process is relatively complicated: select the fruit with good appearance, no damage, juicy and thin skin, and remove the dead leaves, fruit stalks, wash and drain the water, put the fruit into a large wooden barrel and mash it with gauze to wring out the juice, pour the juice into the stainless steel steamer and put it on the Shending to heat for 15-20 minutes, after cooling the juice, use a siphon to suck the clear liquid on the upper layer of the juice into the potbelly jar, add the koji and stir well, cover the sealed lid for fermentation, and after about 3 days, the fermented wine will be sucked into the pottery wine jar with a siphon. Add an appropriate amount of liquor and rock sugar according to personal taste, stir well, and seal the wine jar. Store for 2 months and then change the jar for storage. When drinking, strain it with gauze and put it in a wine bottle.

Of course, the flavor of the fruit wine produced by the two processes has its own merits. Of course, fruits such as apples, peaches, and lychees can also be brewed cold. These fruits can be peeled, pitted, cut into small pieces, added with rock sugar and white wine, and sealed and stored for 1-6 months.

It took half a month, Xi Yizheng compared the method explained in the data, and finished brewing ten kinds of fruits in two processes, and used all the jars and wine jars he bought. She moved the bottles and jars to the cave and arranged them in order, and labeled them, indicating the brewing time, brewing ingredients and process. The next time you drink it, you will know which fruit wine is more popular.

Seeing that there is still more than half a month before the Yunnan tour, I simply struck while the iron was hot, brewed the long-rumored Baihua wine, and drank it during the New Year, which must taste very good.

So, she went to the material market again, bought 50 jars and 50 jars, and then supplemented the auxiliary materials and tools needed for flower brewing, such as koji, liquor, earth rock sugar, gauze, and large sieve trays. I returned home in a hurry to find out the process information of brewing Baihua Liquor, and learned that in addition to various flower petals, the brewing of top Baihua Liquor also requires ingredients such as red dates, longan meat, and white ginseng. Red dates and longan have already been collected, and white ginseng still needs to be collected in the valley where medicinal herbs are specially grown. Xi Yizheng teleported to the Medicine Valley, she had never been here since planting these medicinal herbs, and her head was big looking at the various medicinal herbs in the valley. Although the cultivation range of various medicinal materials was divided at the beginning, after so many years of growth and reproduction, there is no boundary at all. I finally found a medicinal herb garden where ginseng was planted and dug up a white ginseng. I'll have to take some time to take care of the Medicine Valley. Xi patted his head with a zite and decided.

Later, when she came to the Hundred Gardens and looked at the flowers blooming all over the hillside, she had a delicious variety of flower brews in her mind. In addition to Baihua wine, I also want to make some rose wine, chrysanthemum wine, peach blossom wine, and osmanthus wine separately. After all, these are the essence of flower brewing. Next, she spent two whole days collecting enough petals to make dozens of jars of Baihua wine. It took another week to finally complete the brewing of Baihua wine, rose wine, osmanthus wine, peach blossom wine and chrysanthemum wine. The brewing process of flower brewing is relatively simple, that is, the washed and air-dried petals are put into a jar, an appropriate amount of rock sugar is added to ferment, and then an appropriate amount of liquor is added and sealed in a jar for at least 1 year. The 5-year-old flower brew is already considered superb. Of course, the longer the vintage, the more mellow the taste, the better the taste. When Xi Yizheng brewed Baihua wine, in addition to putting various petals, he also added white ginseng, longan meat, and red dates, so that if the Baihua wine was put for more than 5 years, it could be called the supreme flower brewing. Xi Yizheng decided to save the Baihua wine until she reached adulthood at the age of 18 and gave it to herself as a coming-of-age gift. At that time, the Baihua wine must have tasted beautiful.

This time, there are few pottery wine jars left. I'm going to keep it for a while, and then I'll think of something and add it to it.

However, the family knew that they were learning to make wine during this time. So I picked a large bottle of red grapes, cherries, green plums, jujubes, bayberry and other fruit wines made by cold technology, and spent a day making a large bottle of sweet wine and put it in my kitchen for my family to enjoy. Yes, the original cold-operated fruit wine is already drinkable, but due to the short time, the fruit wine is not strong enough. However, after being refrigerated, it has a unique flavor and is a good product for summer drinks. And the sweet wine brew that he tried casually became Xi's father's favorite. Xi's father is not good at drinking, and usually only drinks some low-alcohol beer, red wine and the like. This time, after tasting all the fruit wine and sweet wine brewed by Xi Yizheng, he found that his favorite was still sweet wine. So, next,

Xi Yizheng has to make a sweet wine brew for the family every now and then to satisfy his father. And Xi's mother fell in love with the cherry wine she made. Xi Yixiao prefers plum wine, and Xi Yidi's favorite is wine. The Xi family has personal preferences, Xi Yizheng covered his mouth and secretly snickered, if they knew that they still had a lot of fruit wine and flower brew, wouldn't they rebel!
