Abai specially drank some wine in the evening. The wine here was made from rice chewed by girls.
This kind of wine is the famous kuchizhu. As the name suggests, kuchizhu is a wine made by chewing rice with your mouth, spitting it out, and fermenting it. This kind of wine is called the oldest wine-making method, using the ingredients in saliva.
Amylase acts as a saccharification starter.
The reason why this kind of wine is the oldest wine is because in the era when koji was not invented, using salivary amylase as a fermentation agent was the only option.
The wine that has been chewed by the purest young ladies has a unique body fragrance. Just like a southern girl picking tea leaves in the morning and holding it in her mouth.
Chewing wine has always been an ancient inheritance of the Jurchens.
As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Wuji people, the ancestors of the Jurchens, began to use this method to make wine.
"Wei Shu·Wu Ji Zhuan" records: "Chewing rice to make wine, drinking can make you drunk." This is the earliest written record about "chewing wine". This tradition has been passed down to the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchen wine making method
Still chewing.
Gu Qiyuan of the Ming Dynasty once recorded in the book "Guest Words": "When the barbarians came to the country, they heard about wine making. In North Korea, dung (the feces of four or five-year-old children) was used as wine, and women chewed rice to make wine.
”.
According to ancient recipes passed down from Korea, the raw materials of dung wine are chicken, dog, human excrement and soju, which are fermented underground for 3-4 months.
I heard that the taste of this disgusting thing is sour, and the alcohol content is not as high as that of chewing wine. To this day, although it is banned by the government in South Korea due to hygiene issues, it is still popular in rural areas.
Today, I heard that his Goshiha sneaked out to inquire about the news. The leaders of the 132 Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea have come to 88 one after another. He is already looking forward to it. The Jurchens in the East China Sea will bow down under the banner of Dajin and follow him.
Went south.
He drank up a jar of chewing wine and became very drunk. He hugged two girls from his tribe and fell asleep soundly. When he woke up, he suddenly felt very cold.
He was horrified to find that he was in a dark space, with his hands and feet tied by iron chains. He jumped up with a start. He thought it was a dream, but soon he was sure that it was not a dream.
As soon as he jumped up, he was pulled back and thrown back. Only then did he find that his neck was also stuck in an iron hoop. There was also a rusty iron chain on it, and the other end was connected to the stone of the wall.
Are you being imprisoned? These bastards actually dare to do this to themselves.
"Gule, are you crazy? You dare to imprison me. You have angered Zhushen Khan. When the troops of Dajin come, they will kill you to pieces..."
But no matter how he shouted, no one paid him any attention.
Looking out from a small one-foot-square window near the roof, I realized that this was a dungeon. People outside were busy with their own things. He shouted hoarsely, but no one paid attention to him.
Abai squatted on the ground, with a horrified expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't understand why these East China Sea savages suddenly turned their backs. Yesterday they were treated as honored guests, but in the blink of an eye they became prisoners.
Of course, no one would tell him the news that people from Ming Dynasty were coming.
Yang Fan didn't sleep well at night, because even though there was an iron stove, it was still quite cold in the tent. In the middle of the night, Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru got into his sleeping bag. The three of them crowded together for the night, which made Yang Fan not sleep well.
The little girl's argument was that the master was very powerful and warm, and she could keep him warm by hugging him while sleeping. Lin Yueru nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. When Yang Fan was about to object, the two female bandits immediately proposed a vote. Two votes.
With one vote, Yang Fan was completely defeated.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were holding Yang Fan sideways, each holding one of Yang Fan's legs, and their little heads were resting on his shoulders. The sleeping bag was so packed that it looked like a big fleshy insect.
A single sleeping bag, although looser, would be comfortable if three people were squeezed into it. It was a feeling that Yang Fan never wanted to experience again.
The two of them slept like little pigs, snoring a little. There was still some saliva left on the little girl's skin. As a result, Yang Fan didn't have a good rest all night. He sighed in his heart that he had foresight. Fortunately, he threw Mei Xiang and Chen Xi to Vladivostok to take care of the children.
Otherwise, there won’t be enough space for your own bed.
At dawn, Yang Fan looked at the tent ceiling speechlessly. He was in a daze with two big black circles under his eyes.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru woke up. First they stretched out cutely like lazy cats. Then they coquettishly twisted and twisted in Yang Fan's arms.
An angry Yang Fan put his big hands on their smooth backs and gave each of them a slap.
"Ah, sir, why are you hitting me? You are so bad." Lin Yueru, the goblin, immediately stopped complying.
The little girl lay on Yang Fan's chest and couldn't get up. She always stayed in bed in the morning. Yang Fan's body was hot, like a stove. It wasn't cold at all. She didn't want to get up. The stove was out and the air in the tent was very cold. It felt freezing.
Face.
It takes courage to get out of bed, and the clothes are also cold.
"Sir, madam, are you awake?" Busia asked outside the tent.
"Wake up" Yang Fan said angrily.
"The slave came in, turned on the stove again, warmed the master and his wife's clothes, and helped the master and his wife get up."
"Come in." Yang Fan said weakly.
Busia took two maids, unzipped the tent, and got into the tent. The two little girls behind were holding birch bark and branches. This thing is a magic weapon for igniting in the Northeast, and it ignites super quickly.
Busia quickly took out the burned briquettes. Because it was too cold, in order to burn vigorously, the stove was not sealed last night, so that the briquettes were burned at the maximum air intake, so it was all burned out at night.
Busia tore the birch bark into small strips and spread them on the bottom of the stove. Then she broke off the twigs into small pieces and threw them in randomly, so that the gaps were large and the ventilation was good. Then she took out the fire stick and blew it.
, it immediately ignited the birch bark. This thing started the fire better than pine Akiko, and it didn’t emit black smoke.
The stove immediately started burning. After a while, the branches were ignited, and air was sucked in from the bottom of the stove. Soon it was burning very fiercely. At this time, Busia poured in some wood blocks.
Pine trees are wood strips with pine oil and are easy to ignite. They are generally used to start fires. However, the smoke is very strong and makes the eyes water. It is also not good for the lungs. Birch bark catches fire at once and has no peculiar smell or black color.
Smoke. However, birch bark is not as common as pine trees. After all, the Northeast is full of pine trees.
The fire was burning brightly, and the temperature in the tent rose rapidly.
The three little girls gathered around the fire, first heated their underwear and handed it to Yang Fan and others. They asked them to put it on under the quilt, then the middle coat, and finally the down pants and down jacket. The woolen socks and snow boots were also toasted.
, especially the insoles made of felt must be dried, otherwise your feet will be cold and wet along the way, and you will get sick.
The room is getting warmer, and the clothes are also warm. I put on my underwear under the quilt. It's so comfortable that I don't need it.
"Get up, we'll be on our way soon." Yang Fan managed to coax the two of them up.
When Yang Fan and the two ladies came out of the tent warmly, there was a lot of people outside and dinner had already started. He and the two ladies drank millet porridge, ate steamed buns made by the cooking team in the middle of the night, and roasted venison.
Busia and her maids put away the tent and bedding.
Half an hour later, the team set off again.
It was a good day today, with clear skies and no wind. This time we walked very fast. Dogs all know that they have to hurry up when the weather is good, so they barked and pulled the sledge very fast.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Fan finally saw a city wall surrounded by giant trees outside the car window.
The central city of this colony, Shuangchengzi, has finally arrived.
