Chapter 209: Winemaking
What Lin Musen wants to make is the Xinfeng wine, as for the green tube wine and flax wine, it is not something that can be drunk if you want to, and you can't wait until midsummer, so he plans to do it in the future.
Back in Da'ao Village, Lin Musen first found his second uncle and asked him about some winemaking skills or something.
Some rice wine will be brewed in the countryside more or less, especially when it is close to winter, after all, winter is the best season for making rice wine, and when the rice wine is brewed, it is just the New Year, so that the guests who come in the New Year can drink the mellow rice wine.
Of course, it can be brewed in normal times, Lin Musen thinks that winemaking has some things in common, and it doesn't hurt to ask more, and the second uncle is a good wine person, so it's good to ask him this question.
When it comes to wine, the second uncle is talking endlessly, spitting everywhere, but fortunately what he said is some useful experience, otherwise Lin Musen would not be too lazy to listen to him, and Rory will be chattering.
Lin Musen's winemaking is naturally for the boss, the fat man, Cui Jiaming, and a few of them, they are all good wine people, especially the boss Zhao Yuan, a northeastern man, peach blossom wine may not be suitable for them to drink.
Thinking about it, a group of grandfathers drank peach blossom wine, and there was indeed a mismatch, so he remembered some of the methods of making wine in the book.
The famous wines of ancient China include: Xinfeng wine in the Han Dynasty, Sangluo wine in the Six Dynasties, Lanling wine in the Tang Dynasty, Fenjiu in Xinghua Village in Shanxi, and Xifeng wine in Shaanxi.
Xinfeng wine came from the Han Dynasty, but it was the most famous in the Tang and Song dynasties, and its wine was known to the world for its rich and mellow taste, delicious and intoxicating, and was also sought after by celebrities such as Li Bai, Wang Wei, Li Shangyin, and Lu You.
For example, the poet Wang Wei has a cloud in one of the poems of "Four Songs of Youth": "Xinfeng wine fights ten thousand, how many years have Xianyang rangers; ”
There is also a poet immortal Li Bai also said in one of the poems of "Two Songs of the Ancient Imitation": "Qing songs and ancient songs, fine wine and new abundance; It can be seen that Xinfeng wine was a high-quality and expensive wine at that time.
In the Song Dynasty, Lin Hong went to Xinfeng to inspect and understand the production and sales there, so he knew the details and wrote the "Xinfeng Liquor Law" in the "Shanjia Qing Offering", and what Lin Musen wanted to brew was Xinfeng Liquor.
He thought that this wine must be good, so he planned to make it, just in time for the boss to taste what it means to be a fine wine.
Lin Musen looked at the book, used the materials, thought about some of the experiences that his second uncle told him, and started his first winemaking, and the previous peach blossom wine could only be regarded as blending, not brewing.
There are detailed steps and requirements in the book, but when he really did it, he found that it was actually quite complicated, so he slowly groped and tinkered, so Lin Musen devoted himself to his winemaking business............
............
More than 1,000 kilometers away in Yangcheng, in Lin Musen's house, Hua Qiang summoned the eldest Zhao Yuan and the fourth Cui Jiaming, who had just returned from Kyoto, to hold a meeting about going to Lin Musen's hometown.
"Fat man, are you serious, Mu Tou promised us to go see him?" Cui Jiaming asked, looking a little excited, but he was already convinced in his heart, although the fat man was usually oily and smooth, he was still very serious about Lin Musen, but there should be some reason.
"Yes, you want us to be together. The fat man nodded proudly, looking proud, as if he had accomplished something terrible.
"If you don't call us together, it's hard to call you alone, really. Zhao Yuan's thick eyebrows moved, his eyes glanced at him, and he said with some taste, he thought to himself, Mu didn't tell him such important news, he was the boss.
"We've been asking to see the wood before, hasn't he always agreed, why let us go now, fatty, you can tell me why. Cui Jiaming continued to ask, he felt that there must be a reason for this.
Lin Musen left Yangcheng to go to his hometown, Cui Jiaming and they sometimes wanted to go to see him, but Lin Musen never agreed, so they rarely asked, as long as Lin Musen was doing well.
Hua Qiang thought for a while: "I said I wanted some pine pollen, said I wanted a ten catties, a hundred catties, and the wood said yes, and then I said that we missed him, so I wanted to get it ourselves, and then the wood let us all go to him, no why, that didn't make him have any aftermath to explain." ”
"Crow's mouth, what are you talking about, explain your size, you actually carried us behind our backs to ask for pine pollen from wood, and so much, you are bold enough. After Cui Jiaming heard the explanation, he picked up the pillow and hit the fat man in a bit of anger.
This fat man is becoming more and more dishonest, pine pollen he deliberately found someone in Kyoto to identify it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a panacea, it must be good for the condition of wood, this dead fat man is going to be ten pounds and a hundred pounds, is such a good thing to get casually.
"Uh, my pine pollen was taken away by my parents, isn't it just with the wood, just joking to say that I want so much, the wood said yes, why are you beating me, and I said to take it myself, the wood agreed that we went to see him, isn't it a good thing?" Hua Qiang felt that he had a credit.
"Well, it seems to make some sense, but you dare to ask for good things alone, me and the boss. Cui Jiaming continued to accuse, he thinks, if Lin Musen has it, then say it separately, good things are naturally to be shared, and his pine pollen was also taken away by the grandfather at home, eh~
"Ah, aren't we talking about going to him together, and you'll be indispensable when the time comes. Hua Qiang said as a matter of course, he should not be less vocal when he listens to Lin Musen.
"Yes, but let's set a time, arrange the affairs of our own department, and then go. Zhao Yuan didn't bother anymore and said today's business.
"Everything in my department has been explained. "The fat man was the first to return.
"I have my sister in my department. Cui Jiaming is even more direct, with his sister Cui Qian here, he can go at any time no matter what.
"Then I have to explain, let's go together in two days, I'll take Xiaojiao and Guangguang with me, let's take a vacation for ourselves." Zhao Yuan thought about it after hearing it, and then felt settled. Xiaojiao is Cheng Meijiao and Zhao Yuan's wife, and Zhao Guangguang is his son who is not yet two years old.
"Agreed. "Yes. ”
Hua Qiang and Cui Jiaming responded together and agreed together, I haven't seen Lin Musen for two months, and I'm a little excited to think about it.
So, the time for Zhao Yuan and them to go to see Lin Musen was set.
