"It's as simple as that?"

Liu Yifei looked at the retort bucket and the heavenly pot, very curious.

When she listened to Li Yi's description before, she had imagined this kind of equipment.

She thought it would be complicated, but she didn't expect that the structure of this equipment was only one large and one small, two pots, and a wooden barrel.

"It's not that complicated."

Li Yi said with a smile: "Although the materials of the steaming equipment in the distillery are different, the principle is exactly the same as this set of equipment, but it is magnified many times. ”

"Is this thing any good?"

Wu Lei looked at the slightly rough parts of the equipment and was a little skeptical.

"I've been using it for hundreds of years, and of course it's easy to use."

Li Yi said, suddenly thought of something, and walked towards the storage room.

Those cans of peach blossom brew had been brewed for five days, and he had to go and see how it went.

When I came to the pantry, the glass jar with peach blossom brew was placed in the corner of the wall, the same as before leaving.

Li Yi picked up a can and looked at the sunlight carefully.

The peach petals in the glass jar have been mixed with the glutinous rice, and the originally clear and transparent water has also been muddy, which is the rice milk mixed with the starch that has fallen off the glutinous rice.

On the inside of the jar are fine bubbles, which are used by yeast to multiply and break down the carbon dioxide produced by glucose.

Seeing these bubbles, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction.

The brewing effect of these peach blossoms was much better than he expected, and although it was not yet seven days old, the alcohol content was almost more than 3%, and it was ready to drink.

So, Li Yi took the glass jar and returned to the kitchen.

Seeing the glass jar that Li Yi took out, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai both came over curiously and asked, "Is the peach blossom brewed ready?" ”

"Almost, it's ready to drink."

Li Yi put the glass jar on the operating desk and motioned for them to step back: "Get out of the way, don't scare you." ”

After a few days of reproduction, the yeast excretes a lot of carbon dioxide, and the pressure in the glass jar at this time is very high, and there will be a certain danger when the lid is opened.

After letting them retreat, Li Yi opened the sealing buckle on the glass jar and gently lifted it.

Boom!

Like a beer bottle, the glass jar made a muffled sound, and then a large number of bubbles gushed out of the can.

As the bubbles burst, a unique smell of rice milk mixed with the smell of alcohol, mixed with a hint of peach blossoms, spread.

"Wow!"

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai looked at it in amazement, and exclaimed: "Has it really become wine?" ”

These peach blossom brews were made by Li Yi with their own eyes.

Just a few days ago, there were only some peach petals and glutinous rice in the jar.

But now, there is actually wine in the jar.

The bubbles didn't gush out too much, but after a while after the can was opened, the speed of the bubbles gushing out was greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Li Yi instructed Wu Lei: "Bring a soup basin, take a colander again, and continue it in the basin." ”

After Wu Lei took what he wanted, he picked up the glass jar and poured out the liquor puree in the jar.

Wu Lei used a colander to follow, and the glutinous rice and peach petals mixed in it were filtered out, and only the pale white rice milk wine fell into the soup pot, stirring up a layer of fine foam.

Pouring out a whole jar of puree, Li Yi put the glass jar back, then took a soup spoon, took out a bowl of wine puree from the soup basin, and took a sip.

Seeing Li Yi directly pick up the bowl and drink it, Zhao Jinmai's eyes widened: "Just drink it directly?" ”

"Of course I drank it directly, or else?"

Li Yi smiled: "Do you want to cook a bowl of rice balls for you?" ”

As he spoke, he beckoned, "Taste it too, it's delicious." ”

Liu Yifei had already taken the bowl and filled herself with a bowl.

Taking a careful sip, she pursed her lips and savored the taste.

Zhao Jinmai looked at her expression and asked curiously, "Is it delicious?" ”

"It's delicious."

Liu Yifei smiled: "It's sweet, it's a bit like drinking mash sugar water." ”

"Morom? I don't really like to drink mash. ”

Zhao Jinmai hesitated.

"It's different from the usual mash, just taste it."

Liu Yifei persuaded her and took another sip.

Hearing her say this, Zhao Jinmai put his mind at ease and reached out to scoop a bowl for himself.

Squeezing her eyebrows and taking a careful sip, her eyebrows immediately stretched.

"Wow! It's delicious! ”

Zhao Jinmai looked at the wine in the bowl in surprise, a little surprised.

She thought that the rice wine would taste the same as unboiled mash, but when she actually drank it, it had a sweet aroma and the aroma of peach blossoms.

"This is the practice of Hakka rice wine, the degree is not high, this kind of brewing is only brewed for a few days, the degree is even lower, and it is similar to beer, and the entrance will not be irritating."

Li Yi said with a smile: "The Hakka people in the Hakka area, every household will have a vat of rice wine, and they will drink it as water when they do farm work to quench their thirst and fatigue." ”

"It's really like drinking a drink, it's the first time I've drunk this kind of rice wine!"

Zhao Jinmai took another sip, tasting the sweetness in the mouth and the unique aroma of rice wine, feeling very fresh.

"If you go to the Hakka people as a guest, you will usually pour a bowl of rice wine to entertain you when you enter the door."

Li Yi also took a sip of rice wine, and then pointed to the wine in the bowl and said: "During the Long March, this is the kind of wine that Zhuangxing drank. ”

While speaking, Liu Yifei had already finished drinking a bowl, and picked up a spoon to serve the second bowl.

"Sister Yifei is so drinkable!"

Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai joked with a smile.

Liu Yifei usually doesn't drink much, and when the program team eats together, she occasionally drinks some red wine, but if she drinks a little, it will be on her face.

Hearing Zhao Jinmai's ridicule, Liu Yifei didn't care, and after giving herself another bowl, she drank it in small sips, and said with a smile: "If only the wine was so delicious." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Jinmai agreed: "I hate drinking very much, the liquor is so spicy, the beer is bitter, I can't figure out what to drink."

If all wine were as good as this one, I would like to drink it every day! ”

After drinking the wine in the bowl, Li Yi put the bowl aside, and then said with a smile: "This kind of sweet rice wine is more suitable for the taste of our people.

In ancient times, liquor meant to be a night's worth of wine, that is, wine made overnight.

The brewing time of this wine is short, so the glucose content is relatively high, the alcohol content is relatively low, and the taste is better, which is more suitable for girls' taste. ”

"Haha! Brother Yi, brew more! I'll drink this wine from now on. ”

Zhao Jinmai drank the wine in the bowl, scooped another bowl, and said with a smile: "I don't have any pressure at all to drink this kind of wine at the party in the future." ”

"Don't underestimate this sweet wine, although it doesn't have a high degree, it has a lot of stamina after drinking too much."

Li Yi pointed to the wine in the bowl and explained: "This jar is not completely brewed, and the rice wine after it is fully brewed is the same pale yellow as honey, if it is aged for enough time, it will turn dark red and taste sweet, but before you know it, it will come to the top." ”
