Chapter 31: A Jar of Good Wine
Walking into the wine workshop, in a room, a figure flickered and moved with the moonlight. Take a closer look, it turned out to be Shaokang. This wine shop is called Miao Shop. It is Yu Si, given to Shaokang. Yu Si heard that Shaokang was in Longqi City, and to practice kung fu, he needed to use wine as a guide. After the discussion, he found Phoenix, an old man's surname was Miao, and he was called Miao Lao Drunkard. This person not only loves wine, but also makes wine. He drank all the world's famous wines. For example, daughter red, bamboo leaf green, Moutai, Wuliangye and so on.
After drinking, he was drunk and warm, sneered, and said arrogantly: "I have drunk all the best wines in the world, but that's it." Today's old seedlings want to make wine by themselves. "Decades later, in Phoenix, a wine workshop was built. Twenty workers were collected, and wine was made.
The moonlight flowed, Shaokang took a bamboo pole, mixed the grains, mixed rice beans, began to stir, and after a while, put it in the wine jar and sealed the lid. The action is repeated, hundreds of times. A voice came, "Shaokang, work so hard? Still making sake? ”。
Hearing this, Shaokang raised his head, smiled innocently, and replied: "The night is quiet and sparsely populated. It is possible to make sake with heart. ”
The figure followed the moonlight and came to Shaokang. I saw the old man, his eyebrows were white, and he was too old. But the body is tough, the bones are amazing, and you only look at the back, but you can't see that it is ancient. Uncle Miao said: "Young people work hard, it's always a good thing, they are humble and studious, and they are terrible in later life." Winemaking doesn't happen overnight, it can be successful. ”
"Uncle Miao, you're right." Shaokang stopped, put down his half-sleeved sleeves, and said, "It's been more than three months since I came down here." What you have learned has not yet been fully practiced. ”
"Look at the jar of wine next to you," Uncle Miao said: "That's a jar of Daqu wine!" The spring wine is still green. ”
Shao Kang stared at it and said, "Uncle, you made this jar of wine?" Uncle Miao said: "Yes." I use high-quality sorghum and glutinous rice as raw materials, Daqu made from high-quality wheat and barley as saccharification starter agent, and the old cellar is used as a fermentation tank. Make a jar. I made it two years ago, I put it under the moonlight, and after fermentation, it is quite fragrant now. The cellar is fragrant, clear and sweet, soft and mellow, and the tail is long. ”
Fang Cai Shaokang was puzzled, how could the whole yard have the strongest aroma, it was this Daqu wine, and when he heard about its production process, he immediately understood. He said: "I heard that the drinking friends on the street said, Uncle Miao, when he was young, he drank all the fine wine in the world, and when he smelled the wine, he knew what kind of wine it was. ”
Haha, Uncle Miao's beard trembled, and said: "The old man has tasted all the wine, whether it is inferior or high-grade." There are thousands of kinds of wine, and I have drunk a thousand kinds of wine, and I have made as many wines as there are ingredients! The so-called wine, whether good or bad, as long as it is drunk in the stomach, it is all good wine. Everyone has taste, and everyone is different. What kind of wine, as long as it suits his taste, is considered a good wine! ”
Shaokang nodded thoughtfully. The moonlight shines on the wine jar, the red paper, shining, like a bride, the name of the wine written on it, like a hijab, as soon as you open it, what kind of wine will appear, what kind of bride will appear, drunkenness after drinking, the flying red of the face, isn't it the bride's shyness?
"Here, open it! Taste it together! ”
Shaokang's face was happy, and he said: "Uncle Miao, so generous, junior, it's better to be respectful!" Uncle Miao said: "There are thousands of cups of wine for confidants!" "Yi Chuan" said: The crane is in the yin, and its son is with it; I have a good lord, and I am with you. Wine and food, Deze is also called. Bottle wine is two, rigid and soft. ”
