Afterwards, everyone craned their necks to look out the door and windows.

But I didn’t see it.

Li You smiled and said: "They are in the orchard. You can't see them from your seats for the time being. However, they should be back soon."

Hearing what Li You said, everyone's faces showed joy.

Then continue eating and wait.

Such delicious noodles and dishes must be tasted slowly.

So, it makes sense to eat slower, right?

Soon after, two very beautiful figures walked in from the door.

Everyone's eyes were brightened.

Are these two girls?

It is indeed very beautiful.

Moreover, my whole body is full of youthful atmosphere.

There is no mistake, it must be these two girls.

She is really young and beautiful!

Girls like this often come to dinner. I heard that sometimes there are always a group of girls when they come. The boss is too happy, right?

Everyone is super envious!

It turns out that it can be so enjoyable to have top-notch cooking skills.

Magan, I should have known they would also learn to cook.

What a pity!

Everyone is shaking their heads with regret.

The two figures who came in were indeed Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye.

After playing in the orchard for a while, they also wanted to have dinner.

"Boss, we want two large bowls of beef noodles and one boiled cabbage." Xia Xiaoyue said.

I haven’t eaten beef noodles and boiled cabbage at noon, so I’ll eat them tonight.

Li You nodded, "Okay. I'll do it for you."

"Thank you, boss."

After a while, the people in black T-shirts, white shirts and others finally finished eating.

Fortunately, we have already waited for the two girls to come back, so we can pay and leave with satisfaction.

After scanning the QR code to pay.

"Boss, let's leave first."

"Okay, welcome to come again next time."

"Haha! I will definitely come again."

Several people went out rather reluctantly.

After a while.

In the kitchen, two large bowls of beef noodles and a portion of boiled cabbage are ready.

Serve it to Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye.

Not surprisingly, Mu Qingye was once again excited about beef noodles and boiled cabbage.

It’s hard to believe that the beef noodles I often eat can be so delicious.

After eating slowly, it was half past six in the evening.

I wonder if the glutinous rice is ready to soak?

Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye walked to the basin where the glutinous rice was soaked.

Mu Qingye picked up a grain of rice and crushed it with two fingers, basically crushing it.

Does this mean it’s ready to soak?

Mu Qingye was very pleasantly surprised and quickly said to Li You: "Boss, come and see. Is your hair already soaked?"

Li You responded: "Okay, let me take a look."

Then, he came over, twisted a grain of rice and gave it a try, and said with a smile: "It's almost ready. Then, let's officially start."

"Great!" Mu Qingye was very excited and couldn't wait to say, "What's the next step? How to do it?"

"Cook these glutinous rice. It can also be steamed. It can be boiled or steamed. But the cooked glutinous rice seems to produce more alcohol. So, we use boiled rice." Li You said.

"The second step is to cook the soaked glutinous rice? Okay, I've written it down." Mu Qingye said.

Xia Xiaoyue asked: "Boss, is there a difference in the amount of alcohol produced when glutinous rice is cooked and steamed?"

Li You said: "I heard this from others. I haven't verified it specifically. But I think it should be so."

Xia Xiaoyue nodded. She had never heard of it before.

However, it should indeed be possible.

Before cooking, wash the soaked glutinous rice.

This is very simple. Mu Qingye volunteered and said she would clean it.

Li You is naturally happy.

After Mu Qingye washed the glutinous rice, Li You poured it into a pot and added water to boil.

You can add more water appropriately.

During the cooking process, Mu Qingye always looked forward to it.

Soon, it’s cooked.

Then proceed to the next step.

Drain the glutinous rice.

Here we use a tool called Shao Kei to operate.

This is a tool made of bamboo strips.

In rural areas, it is a necessary tool for almost every household.

It is most convenient and easy to use for draining water.

Li You started operating.

Mu Qingye stared at it with wide eyes.

Of course, if it is steamed, there is no need to drain it because it is already dry.

Soon, all the glutinous rice was drained.

At this time, the temperature of the glutinous rice is still very high, and you need to wait for it to cool down.

It needs to be cooled to about 30 degrees.

Because it is too hot or too cold, it will affect the fermentation of koji.

If you have a thermometer, you can use it to measure.

Li You doesn't have a thermometer, so he can only feel it with his hands.

As long as the error is not too big, it will be fine.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li You took out the container that had been prepared.

Containers made of earthenware jars, glass, stainless steel, etc. are all acceptable, but they must be washed and free of water and oil.

Soon after, Li You felt that the temperature of the glutinous rice had dropped to about 30 degrees.

Then, you can proceed to the last step.

Pour the glutinous rice into the container.

During the pouring process, sprinkle the koji into the glutinous rice.

Finally, add an appropriate amount of cooled boiled water and mix well.

Be sure to use cooled boiled water here.

After mixing well, compact the glutinous rice.

Then, you can use your finger to poke a small hole in the middle to make it easier to observe the condition of the wine.

In this way, the last step is completed.

Of course, there is one more step to be precise, and it is the most critical step, which is to seal the container well.
To be continued...
