Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 191 The Strange Way of Brewing!

Chapter 191 The Strange Way of Brewing!

"What kind of iron lump is this? Why does it look so strange?"

"I don't know about this thing. It seems that His Royal Highness King Liang sent someone to build it. I don't know what it is for. Could it be used to make wine?"

"Are you kidding? This thing looks weird. How could it be used to make wine?"

"Then what else could it be doing? After all, this is a brewery."

"This, we don't know. It's really hard to say what it is used for."

Everyone was talking about it, looking at the still in front of them, as if they saw something huge, and they started talking about it.

Soon, Li Yin came to the winery, everyone saw Li Yin and saluted, Li Yin waved his hand, and immediately said to everyone:

"The reason why I invited you here today is self-evident. It is naturally made of wine. Today's wine is very cloudy and tastes bad. This king has made a bet with Cheng Chumo, the son of General Cheng's mansion, that he will definitely make wine. A wine of unrivaled taste."

"So this time I came here to brew the best wine in Datang. I heard from the steward that you are one of the best winemakers in Datang. Your craftsmanship and technology must not be underestimated."

"If you can brew Datang's unique wine this time, your reputation will go further, and at the same time, you will earn more money."

"This time, the king's ugly words are at the forefront. Since you have entered this winery, you must obey the orders of the king. Throw away all the knowledge you have learned before and start from the beginning. If you think this condition is a bit harsh, then you You can go now."

After saying this, Li Yin stopped talking. These brewers were still complacent when they heard Li Yin's praise one second ago, but when they heard Li Yin's words the next second, their faces became ugly and they looked at each other.

"Let me go, His Highness Prince Liang is too loud. He actually wants to brew the best wine."

"Isn't it? I'll give you a high hat first, and then I'll give you a slap."

"Good guy, I call it good guy, His Royal Highness Liang Wang is only a nine-year-old child, can he brew fine nectar and jade dew?"

.........

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but still no one proposed to leave, because the reward Li Yin offered was too attractive, and some people wanted to see how capable Li Yin was to say such arrogant words.

After waiting for a while, Li Yin watched no one stand up, and then said again:

"Since you all don't want to leave, then do it well. Don't worry, this king will definitely reward you well after it's done."

"The housekeeper took out the rice paper and showed them one by one."

Li Yin said to the housekeeper behind him, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel happy. Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around. As long as you have more money, these people will follow you wholeheartedly.

Hearing this, the butler nodded immediately, and immediately took out a few pieces of rice paper from his pocket, on which was written the process of brewing wine, and even the amount of water and sorghum put in was clearly written, which can be described as meticulous.

On the other piece of rice paper is a brief introduction to the distiller and how to use it.

Everyone looked at the sheets of rice paper in front of them, and couldn't help being shocked. At the same time, the expressions on their faces became extraordinarily surprised, because they had never seen this method of making wine.

At this moment, someone couldn't help asking a question: "His Royal Highness Liang, we have never seen this method of brewing wine, if we make wine according to your method."

"It's tantamount to abandoning the knowledge we have learned before, but this brewing is related to our reputation. It is impossible for a rat droppings to spoil a pot of porridge, right?"

"In addition to this method of brewing wine, I have never heard of it, so how do I know it can work?"

"His Royal Highness Liang, this method is really weird and completely different from what I have learned before. Could it be that you were fooled?"

……

Everyone looked at the rice paper in their hands and couldn't help asking. At the same time, they were deeply puzzled and suspicious about the brewing method in Shi's hand.

Regarding what everyone said, Li Yin did not change at all, as if all this was within his expectations.

"Don't worry, just brew according to the king's instructions. If the brewed wine is not good for you, then the king assures you that it will never be sold, so you don't have to worry so much."

Li Yin's words, like a tranquilizer, instantly made everyone present shut up.

His Royal Highness Liang Wang has said so, so they naturally have no opinion.

At the same time, they couldn't help being amazed. Sure enough, being rich is self-willed. With so much rice and sorghum, if you can say no, you don't want it.

Instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, Li Yin paid enough, and everyone didn't have any struggles. They directly agreed to make it according to the method Li Ying wrote above.

Soon the brewing was on the right track, and everyone started brewing according to the above steps.

First, choose better glutinous rice or rice, soak it in ordinary cold water for eight to ten hours after washing, and drain it for later use.

Then put the drained rice in the pot and steam it until it is nine times cooked and remove from the fire. It is required that the rice is steamed until it is hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Take it out of the pot when it's cool, break it up after taking it out of the pot, spread it out on a plate to dry until it's below 28 degrees, and put it in a vat.

Then pour the prepared water, cultured yeast and wine medicine into the vat and mix evenly with the steamed rice. Cover the lid and place it on the heater or in front of the stove. After about three days, the rice will become soft and sweet. Use chopsticks to cook the rice. Stir, and when you see wine oozing out, you can stop the early fermentation...

After a short operation, everyone did a good job, but the number of fermentations was relatively high, which also made the brewers have deep self-doubt.

Under normal circumstances, one fermentation is enough, but they didn't expect Li Yin to let them ferment it several times, which was unacceptable to them, but seeing how much money Li Yin gave, they didn't say much.

In the last step, Li Min personally supervised them. Since these people didn't know how to use a distiller, he naturally had to provide guidance.

Finally, under Li Min's guidance, the fermented koji was finally put into the still.

Distilled wine is mainly through the three elements of firepower, cooling water temperature, and steam temperature to stabilize the state of the wine in this range: the steam temperature is about 45 to [-] degrees, and the cold water must be changed in time.

This step requires a lot of care, otherwise you won't be able to do it.

Finally, accompanied by bursts of fragrance, the whole winery was filled with fragrance instantly. Those brewers who were waiting to watch the excitement, after smelling the fragrance, were addicted to it one by one, unable to extricate themselves.
