Fuso, Shantao County, a small town surrounded by mountains on all sides, is home to dozens of large and small wineries.

Yamamo Prefecture is one of the most important producers of fruits and agricultural products in Fuso, and because of its large number of high mountains, the water is sweet and clear, making it ideal for sake brewing.

However, the largest number of sake breweries in Yamamo Prefecture is not sake, but a variety of fruit breweries, the most of which are wine.

The fact that the White Frost Distillery, which is mainly engaged in sake, is located in such a place and has been able to grow and grow, and Kinuma can be said to have contributed to it.

In fact, Kinuma didn't make wine himself for a long time, and most of the sake he released to the public recently was made by his apprentices.

Today, Kinuma suddenly plans to make sake again, and even gathers his own students back, which makes everyone wonder and overjoyed, which is undoubtedly a grand event for the sake industry in Fuso.

There are many apprentices in Kinuma, the oldest is in his sixties, and the youngest is in his early forties.

They have long been masters of the ruling party, and many of them have even started their own wineries or have been hired by other wineries.

But as soon as Master Kinuma shouted, they put down their work and ran back.

Master Kinuma has an independent brewing studio at the White Frost Distillery, half the size of an ordinary workshop, and at this moment, several students who are over half a hundred years old are sweating and shaking something like a mill.

Sake is actually derived from rice wine in the state, but the biggest difference between sake and rice wine in the state is that sake is made with refined white rice.

The so-called fine white is to grind away all the outer skin of the rice, leaving only the crystal clear rice heart.

Because of this, the sake is very clear, which is different in color from rice wine in the state - and it also loses a lot of flavor.

Normally, sake is made to be about 75% white, and some high-end sake is 35% white, but now Master Kinuma's request is called a pervert, and the rice is 8% white!

And this process is completely done by hand by master winemakers.

The already snow-white rice was so white that there was only a little bit of rice residue left, and then these apprentices, still staring at the faint old eyes, carefully selected it.

Thousands of catties of white rice, in the end, only a few dozen catties remained, which is the raw material for this winemaking.

Before the rice was finished white, someone ran in sweating and reported: "The snow water taken from the top of the mountain has melted and filtered......

While these people were sweating and busy, Takeda was huddled in his office and called Zhuang Buyuan: "Yes, Master Kinuma is brewing wine, do you want to come and see?" But...... Uh, okay, I'll go open the door for you. ”

Takeda came to the gate and instructed one of his companions to talk to the security guard to distract him before he quietly walked to the door.

"No need." On the phone, Zhuang Buyuan said a word, and then Zhutian heard two knocks around him, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, he turned his head to look, and saw three catties and four taels, jumping in from the wall, three catties on the shoulder, there is still a person sitting, not Zhuang Buyuan, who is it?

"Where do they make wine?" The three-catty urn asked angrily.

Every time he saw Sanjin, Takeda trembled with fear in his eyes, and he hurriedly pointed in the direction of the factory.

Four and two grabbed him and carried him towards the factory.

The sake brewing room is similar to the others, with some very high windows, which are ajar at this time, and the sound of Kinuma shouting can be faintly heard from inside.

"Master Kinuma is losing his temper ......" Takeda knew that his role was to translate, and obediently translated.

Zhuang Buyuan sat on the shoulders of three catties, leaned on the window and looked inside, and saw that the apprentices of Mu Nua were taking out dozens of catties of refined white rice from the steamer.

"Master, this is the strain that this is our research institute, according to your instructions, multiplying and isolating, and re-proportioning!" A man who looked like a technician respectfully handed over a sealed bottle.

Kinuma took it cautiously, poured the strain into the cooled rice, and stirred it gently.

He is old, dozens of catties of rice are stirred, it is also a manual work, and it doesn't take long to sweat like rain, but this doesn't need to be stirred for too long, after five minutes, he beckoned his apprentice: "Go, pour it into the heating bottle......"

A heating bottle is a hot bucket that is traditionally stirred and fermented until yeast blooms.

The apprentices looked at each other, this step is a traditional koji-making, which usually takes at least two or three days, and it is only five minutes, is the master old and confused?

"Master......" Several apprentices looked at each other.

Kinuma said proudly, "I have recently invented a new way of making wine, so you can do as I tell you!" ”

"Yes......" Several apprentices didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly acted according to the order.

A few minutes after putting the stirred white rice into the heating bottle, a sweet smell suddenly wafted out.

Clumps of Aspergillus are growing rapidly, covering the entire bucket of rice.

The apprentices were stunned: "Why is it so fast!" ”

"Master, what are you doing here?"

"Master, this is a miracle! How could it be so fast! ”

Kinuma smiled, "This is the skill I have worked on all these years, and you will be able to witness the miracle later." ”

"Don't be ashamed! Die to shame! Zhuang Buyuan pouted, this is taking the rapid fermentation effect of the strain as his own credit?

"Owner, I'll go in and tear him up!" Sanjin looked at Zhuang not far away, and licked his lips.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, he can't succeed this time." Zhuang Buyuan smiled.

Even if you get the strains of the manor, no matter how you copy them and how they reproduce, they can't achieve the magical effect in the manor, and most of their magical effects come from the power of the blood of time.

Sure enough, after the first wave of sweet fragrance wafted out, there was no movement for a long time, Mu Zao frowned and walked to the wooden barrel, looked inside, and saw that there were large black and cyan spots in the white Aspergillus oryzae just now.

Other molds have also begun to multiply in the wine.

"Big ...... Master, what can I do? Several apprentices were the first to see the black mildew, and they immediately became anxious.

What about a miracle witness?

When Mu Nua saw the black mold, he immediately became angry, kicked it over, kicked the hot bucket directly, and said angrily: "A bunch of fools, it must have been when you steamed rice before, and you mixed the mold into it!" Bastard! Bastard! ”

In the face of the furious Kinuma, the apprentices didn't dare to say a word, just knelt on the ground and cleaned up the raw materials all over the ground.

Outside the window, Zhuang Buyuan almost burst out laughing, what about the confident appearance just now?

However, Kinuma is not a person who gives up easily, and next, he prepared again, and let the apprentices sweat and re-refine the white rice, steam the rice, and after a round, several hours passed.

Zhuang was so impatient that he almost fell asleep when he saw Kinuma bring another jar and pour the strains into it.

After a few seconds, the sweet smell returned, but before I thought about it, in less than ten minutes, large black mold spots appeared inside.

"Bastard! Darn! Kinuma angrily kicked over the rice, then stomped on it a few times, almost slipping, and the technician who bred the strain next to him hurriedly supported him, but was slapped by his backhand: "Bastard! What have you bred my strain into! ”

The technician hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, and almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

"You fools, you're not even of any use! I'll do it myself this time! Kinuma shouted angrily.

The apprentices all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, for fear of angering Kinuma.

Mu Nug snorted and prepared a small portion of rice for himself, at most two kilograms of rice, and several apprentices tried to help, but he stubbornly and angrily drove them away.

Then, not far away, Zhuang saw Kinuma quietly take out a bag of strains from his pocket and spill it into the rice without anyone noticing.

After less than ten minutes, the snow-white strain began to grow unchecked.

Kinuma rejoiced: "It's done!" It's finally done! ”

His apprentices stared in amazement at Kinuma, and the small container he held in his hand, in which the refined white rice had turned into a liquid almost visibly with the naked eye, and the sweet aroma was so sweet that it almost made your nose suck in.

Over time, instead of dissipating, the scent became more and more intense, and after a long time, it turned into a brief rotten egg smell, and then a richer aroma spread.

"It's done! It's done! ”

"It's really done!"

"Master! Guru! ”

"What a miracle! What a miracle! ”

The apprentices of Kinuma were all stunned, could everything in front of them really be a miracle?

One by one, they burst into tears, and even prostrate themselves on the ground, chanting "Bacchus" in their mouths.

And Kinuma, who was also possessed by the spirit, raised the container in his hand with both hands, and said loudly: "Thank you to the god of winemaking, and thank God for your favor for allowing me to make such a peerless wine!" With this jar of wine in life, I have died without regrets! ”

And his apprentices were even more fanatical, shouting wildly that the god of wine had come to the world, and the appearance of God's protection was like a group of old gods.

Looking at Kinuma's tearful appearance, Zhuang Buyuan deeply felt what "art" is!

It turns out that this is the art of brewing!

Zhuang Buyuan really understands what a routine is this time!

Kinuma summoned his apprentices back, in fact, he just let them be a witness, but he didn't want them to share the slightest honor with him, the first two failures, he did it on purpose, and it wasn't until the last time that he did it himself.

Moreover, in front of everyone, such a miraculous success!

And at this moment, he is the living Bacchus descending!

Fuso Bacchus!

In the factory, several apprentices came to Fusang on their knees, and said enthusiastically: "Master, this kind of wine can be called a treasure of the town, we should build a museum......

"No, no, how can there be enough museums, we should build a temple of Dionysus, and offer this wine for people to admire."

"The master is simply the god of wine in the world!"

"Master, being your disciple is the greatest honor in my life!"

"......No," Kinuma shook his head, "no matter how good the wine is, it is also for people to drink, and I have already won the sky to brew this kind of wine, and from today, I will officially wash my hands in the golden basin, and you will bring this jar of wine to the tasting meeting in three days on my behalf, and drink it with all the distinguished guests." ”

"Master!"

"Don't persuade me, I've made up my mind!"

Zhuang Buyuan was shocked when he heard it, damn it, this routine is too deep.

Not only did he use Daddy's strain to make this wine, but he also had to invite guests and friends as soon as possible to take ownership of this wine.

If he really succeeded, wouldn't Daddy Zhuang make the same type of wine in the future?

Perhaps, he will take this opportunity to push himself to the throne of the so-called "Fuso Bacchus".

"Damn, I'm going to tear him!" Three catties of teeth clucked, in this world, there is someone more shameless than us fallen dragons?

Zhuang Buyuan also wanted to tear him up.

But just tearing him up, isn't it too cheap for him?

This kind of person, if you don't let him be ruined and stink for 10,000 years, you can't calm the hatred in Zhuang Buyuan's heart!

Kill him? Zhuang is not far from a hundred ways.

But Zhuang Buyuan wants to kill his people and his reputation!

Zhuang Buyuan's brows gradually furrowed, and then gradually relaxed.

Don't you want to be famous, and you want to be famous for eternity?

I will fulfill you!
