Chapter 163: Several Old Apprentices

"Yun Yu is looking for you like this, and sooner or later the palace will have to be hollowed out by you."

Lu Ming's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't know if he had done something wrong by getting Yun Yu to the capital in the first place, who could hold up this sheep who picked up himself.

"Don't worry, your royal family has a big business, and this little thing can't be emptied."

Yun Yu patted him on the shoulder, with an expression on his face that you don't care if you have money.

"That's true, but what do you want these winemakers to do? There are no royal masters sent by my uncle in the winery, but they are much more capable than my family. ”

"I don't care how they make wine, but I learned how to make danko, and then it's different."

Yun Yu thinks about it in the long run, Danqu is a natural preservative, and he will definitely use a lot of places in the future, and the Qi Wangfu will use this time to waste talents, if he follows himself, he can reflect the role of these people.

Three days later, everyone gathered here.

Yun Yu commanded a few people to open the vat, and in an instant, a smell of stench permeated the entire mountain villa, and the grass next to it instantly turned yellow, comparable to the smell of chemical weapons, and almost didn't send them away.

"Gnea~ Yunyu, what are you doing? Gott ~ this vomit ~ "

Lu Ming felt that the smell rushed straight to the Tianling Gai as soon as he took a mouthful, and the whole person was about to suffocate and faint, no matter how the things here were made, he quickly moved away from this place.

Yun Yu's face was also a little pale, he could know that this thing was very stinky when fermented, but he didn't expect it to stink to this extent.

Fortunately, it was not made in the capital, otherwise the forbidden army would have evacuated all the people within a radius of ten miles as soon as possible.

Several winemakers looked relaxed, although the taste was a bit comparative, it also showed that Yun Yu had completely failed, if such a stinky thing could make a good koji, they would give Yun Yu a knock on the spot.

"I'll just say it's a waste of food, and the world doesn't believe me."

The winemaker who had persuaded Lu Ming before looked proud, and this matter would definitely not be on his head.

"Who said that this is a failure, this just shows that we are doing it right, and the early fermentation is to smell before it is hot."

"I'd like to see how hard you can get."

The winemaker was not in a hurry, and stood aside quietly watching how Yun Yu was going to make these stinky things into koji.

"Then you can see!"

Yun Yu didn't say much, everything spoke with strength.

The fermented rice was first rinsed with live water in the stream next to the courtyard, and even though the rice looked white after washing, the smell still lingered on the tip of everyone's noses.

"Don't waste your efforts, this thing already stinks, no matter how you make it, it won't become fragrant, admit defeat as soon as possible, let us make it, save time."

The winemakers laughed, and this boy who didn't have any hair wanted to compare with himself, which was a big joke in the world.

Yun Yu ignored them and asked them to put the washed rice on the steamer and start steaming.

Steamed until it is half-cooked, then taken out and cooled with stream water, and then put it in and steamed until it is fully cooked.

After continuous steaming, the stench finally dissipated, and the fragrance of rice in the courtyard overflowed.

Several winemakers were full of disbelief, if they hadn't been watching here all along, they all wondered if Yun Yu had changed the rice halfway.

How can the kind of rice that has been fermented in place and stinks to the extreme, exude such a fragrance, and it is even sweeter than when it is not fermented.

This is a bit beyond their comprehension, and everything after fermentation should not lose its original flavor, how can this be!

They were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Yun Yu took out the red wine lees prepared in advance, added three liters of horsetail juice to each bucket of lees, and then mixed them evenly with alum water to make koji seeds.

Add two catties of koji seeds to each stone of cooked rice, stir quickly and mix well while the cooked rice is hot, until the cooked rice becomes cold.

Then pour the cooked rice with koji seeds into a basket, pour it again with alum water, and then put it separately into a plate and put it on a rack for ventilation.

This kind of koji is stirred three times every hour, and then from white to black, from black to brown, then from brown to ochre, then to red, from red to light yellow, called "leftover koji", in which black turns brown, ochre turns red need to be drenched with water, other times do not need to add water, stirring can be.

Yun Yu breathed a long sigh of relief after speaking, it is not easy to make Danqu, the process is complicated, the materials are varied, and it takes a lot of effort.

"You~ What did you do?"

Several winemakers stepped forward to look through it, put the koji seed in front of their noses and sniffed it again, it was indeed koji, although it was still some distance from the finished product, but there was no longer the smelly shadow that had just been opened.

It's just two things, or there doesn't seem to be any connection between them.

"Just do it, don't you all see the process, and the follow-up process is also told to you, what else can be done?"

Yun Yu suddenly remembered the students he taught in Mangshan, these winemakers shouldn't be as stupid as those people, they can't teach anything!

Then this time it will be a big loss, if you really want to make so many Danqu by yourself, you have to be tired to death.

"But, but this, can ...... This. ”

What else did the winemaker want to ask, but for a while the language could not be organized.

They know what smells bad and delicious, but what they eat is the smell, but they really don't see it from the process of smelling to fragrant.

"Okay, if you go and do it yourself a few times, you'll understand, everything that should be taught has been handed over to you, and the rest depends on your own comprehension ability."

Yun Yu can't wait to go back to the capital now, although there is no more, but the smell almost made him vomit all the overnight meal, anyway, he won't make it again, everything that should be taught has been taught, and it's time to leave here.

"Bang~Bang~Bang!"

Several winemakers knelt on the ground at the same time and kowtowed to Yun Yu a few times.

"What are you doing here?"

Yun Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help these people up, and was kneeling by a group of people who were much older than him, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Since you taught us this secret recipe, you can be regarded as our master, and this apprenticeship is indispensable."

Yun Yu was a little speechless, he had never planned to hide his secrets, if he really wanted to count it like this, that Zhang Laosan, Zhao Er, Wu Laoba, Lu Erniang, Ergou, Qi Kong, Liu Xu'er...... Even Lu Ming can be regarded as his own apprentice.

This kind of gateway view is unacceptable.

"You can study carefully, these false etiquette will be exempted, you can have this heart, you will be a family in the future, there is no need for this."
