Looking at the ancient koji, Lao Can raised his fingers and counted them one by one.

"Japonica rice is a type of rice, a common staple food. Japonica rice is the seed kernel of japonica rice, which is milled from japonica non-glutinous rice. Its taste is sweet and light, its nature is peaceful, and it is a nourishing thing to eat every day. It is cultivated in all parts of Datang, with a planting history of hundreds of thousands of years, and is one of the specialties of Datang food culture, mainly produced in Northeast China.

"Japonica rice grains are generally oval or round, the rice grains are plump and fat, the cross-section is nearly round, the ratio of length and width is less than two, the color is waxy white, transparent or translucent, the texture is hard and tough, the viscous oiliness is large after cooking, soft and delicious, but the rice yield is low. However, it is the best rice for making koji. ”

"Japonica rice is divided into early japonica rice and late japonica rice according to the harvest season. Early japonica rice is translucent, with a large white abdomen, few hard plasmids, and poor rice quality. Late japonica rice is white or waxy white, with a small white belly, many hard plasmids, and excellent quality. ”

Judging from this group of ancient koji, this should be late japonica rice, because this rice is small, has many hard plasmids, and does not deteriorate after 5,000 years. This is not only that the koji is an old antique, but also that this japonica rice itself is this pearl rice in Zhudan County. Congratulations to the young proprietor for getting the thousand-year-old treasure and the thousand-year-old pearl rice, and the road of winemaking in the future is a thousand miles and thriving. ”

Lao Can immediately took two handfuls of rice, one was the black glutinous rice of Zhudan County, which was used to make black beauty wine, and the other was the pearl rice of Zhudan County, which was usually used to make koji. He thought about it for a moment, and then took a small ball of koji that he usually brewed spirit wine.

If you don't compare, you don't have the right to speak.

Dongfang Qiuqiu and Poison Eryi look at it, it is really very similar, not only the shape and texture are the same, but the taste is the same, but the current koji is fragrant, not as fragrant as the ancient koji, especially the nose of the ancient koji does not need to be close, and you can still feel the vitality of the aura.

"Even if the rice is now similar or even the same as the rice of 5,000 years ago, the efficacy and spiritual power are less than one percent of what it used to be. ”

Lao Can took a sip of wine, touched his chin and sighed.

What is the difference between today's rice and 5,000 years ago?

"Shao Dongjia, you still have that old hometown "Brewing Secrets" on you, you might as well take it out, let me open it for you to see, and you will know the difference. ”

Lao Can said lightly.

When Lao Can sold all the Lao Ji Liquor Workshop to Dongfang Undefeated that day, he also transferred his hometown's "Brewing Secrets" to him, but except for the temporary explanation of borrowing from the "Brewing Secrets", the others were handed over to Lao Can for safekeeping. Of course, "The Legend of Brewing Secrets" is on the body of the East seeking defeat.

As soon as he heard this, Dongfang immediately took out the "Secret Book of Brewing".

Lao Can memorized all the contents of "The Secret Book of Winemaking", and soon turned to a certain page, but the title reads "A Little Sustenance for Posterity":

"Before the end of the Dharma era, about 5,000 years ago, the aura between heaven and earth was even stronger than it is now, and people who cultivated the truth could be seen at any time, even in every household, and the superiority of the spiritual root at that time was a hundred times higher than today. I hope that one day, my children and grandchildren will be able to find the rice or koji of 5,000 years ago, and recreate the sake brewing techniques and techniques of that time.

"One generation can't find it, the next generation continues, the next generation can't find it, and the next generation continues to work hard. If you find rice or koji from 5,000 years ago, you can hope to recreate the glory days of the old family's sake brewing. Remember!

The payer is a certain generation of old people.

Seeing the text on this page, Dongfang Qiu Defeat and Poison II fully understood the importance of stalk rice or koji five thousand years ago.

For Lao Can, he was the happiest that his ancestor's last will had finally come true.

And in his lifetime, it came true.

"By the way, is the rice of 5,000 years ago really different from now, except for the aura?"

After Dongfang Qiu lost to Lao Can and poured wine, he asked again.

"Young owner, please look at this page. ”

Lao Can didn't say much, so he typed another page, writing: "The first choice for brewing is the rice of Zhudan County, whether it is black glutinous rice, or dragon tooth rice, pearl rice, one is not only the strong aura of the county, but also the excellent result of rice, dragon tooth rice is more than 60 meters high, each plant can produce 100,000 catties of rice, pearl rice is more than 20 meters high, each plant can produce more than 30,000 catties of rice." This is the grand view of the world, unprecedented. ”

Moreover, there is a painting on the page, which depicts a crop of rice as tall as a tree, and the branches are covered with a lot of rice, each bunch is bigger and longer than a banana, and a grain of rice is five to ten catties. Among them, the highest-quality dragon tooth rice actually weighed 100 catties, nearly three meters long, and the length was basically more than a spear.

Oh my!

It turns out that Lingmi used to look like this.

If this is the case, the effect and spiritual power of the Lingmi in ancient times are indeed many times better than that of the Lingmi.

Thinking about it, Dongfang Qiu Defeat and Poison Er couldn't help but look at each other, because the Linghe in the small space is growing well now, and now the height is seven or eight meters high, and it is still growing.

"Old shopkeeper, do you want to take a look at the real dragon tooth rice and black glutinous rice?"

After thinking for a while, touching his chin, Dongfang looked at Lao Can with a finger.

Lao Can was stunned, he had seen dragon tooth rice and black glutinous rice when brewing, but he had never seen real dragon tooth rice and black glutinous rice.

"Why, why didn't you think about it? I thought about it in my dreams. I just want to see the real dragon tooth rice and black glutinous rice, and see those Linghe that are taller than the tree. ”

He took a sip of wine, looked at Dongfang and said seriously.

"If you work for me, you have to make a spiritual contract with me, life and death are my people, and you have to keep all the secrets for me, can you do it?"

The East seeks defeat and is serious and authentic.

"I can do it, as long as you don't dislike old age, as long as you are willing to let me make wine with you. I was born to make wine, and the others will not, cultivate the truth, my spiritual root is low, it is basically equal to waste, and I can't cultivate the truth at all. I don't know anything but winemaking. ”

Lao Can was emotional.

He is also showing his sincerity and determination.

So, under the guidance of Dongfang's quest for defeat, the two soon concluded a spiritual contract.

"Lao Can, you wait a moment. Poison two, you take a moment and take all the rice and brewing equipment away. ”

appeased Lao Can, drank wine and ate meat with him, and Dongfang begged for defeat while explaining the poison two.

As a master at the peak of the middle stage of the foundation building realm, cleaning up the miscellaneous is simply overkill, and in less than two teas, he packed all the classifications and included them in his space ring.

Now, in the entire wine shop, except for the tables and chairs where Dongfang Qiu Defeat and Lao Can drank, even the trees and flowers in the courtyard have been taken away.

"Lao Can, let's go, let's see our future world. ”

After being full of wine and meat, Dongfang Qiu defeated Lao Can's hand and entered the small space with Poison Er.
