This step of beating Fen should be repeated at least three times.
Every time, you have to shovel up dozens of kilograms of sorghum in the pot, add water, and turn it back and forth.
Xiao Nianzhi said: She really can’t come to this matter!
If she were drinking it at home, she might simply weigh a few dozen kilograms.
However, now this is not to prepare for the subsequent distillation of alcohol, so we can only increase the amount.
However, I haven’t heard yet what the attitude of the DPRK and China towards the northwest is.
Although His Majesty probably wants to fight in his heart, no one is sure what will happen in the end until the real decree comes down.
Xiao Nianzhi was busy here for a while, but His Majesty waved his hand and said: No more fighting, let's make peace.
Then Xiao Nianzhi...well, under the imperial power, it seems that she can't do anything.
In the morning, all the sorghum was put into the pot for steaming.
In order to make wine, they even set up a temporary stove in the open space in the backyard and set up several large pots to start cooking together.
Yan Xingxuan's guards all turned into winemakers and went to work.
Xiao Nianzhi only came over occasionally to provide technical guidance. The rest of the time, she went back to her room to copy scriptures.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of Xiao's mother's death. She can't just go over and listen to the sutras and recite a few words, right?
It is necessary to express some sincerity, and there is also the part of Xiao’s father.
So, copy it!
By the evening, steaming sorghum was finally over.
The next step is to add the koji after cooling.
As for the temperature to be lowered, it depends on the corresponding koji.
Xiao Nianzhi needs to keep an eye on this step. Remote technical guidance can sometimes lead to considerable errors.
Therefore, she personally came to the scene and directed everyone together.
After the steamed sorghum cooled to the appropriate temperature, Xiao Nianzhi motioned to the guards to help him make the wine.
After adding the koji, you don’t just put the sorghum into the vat for fermentation immediately. It needs to be mixed with the koji in a cool place and fermented for twelve hours, then put into the vat and then fermented.
Mixing koji is not an easy task, and you need to pay attention to the temperature of sorghum fermentation afterwards.
All in all, there are a lot of things to worry about.
Fortunately, Xiao Nianzhi copied a lot of scriptures during the day, and took the time to copy some at night, which was almost enough.
Mixing the wine koji required Xiao Nianzhi to follow up from time to time. Yan Changxia and the others were curious and couldn't help but come closer to take a look.
Although she knows that grain can be used to make wine, she has never seen the process and is now very curious.
Ask about this now, ask about that now.
She couldn't understand why the food she usually ate turned into wine. Yan Changxia even sighed in a low voice: "This is really magical. How can it turn into wine? No, how can it become water?" p>
In this regard, Xiao Nianzhi smiled: "Everything in nature is magical to begin with. The food is not bad, but the herbal medicine place is more lively. I once heard my father mention that there is a kind of herbal medicine that can be used to cure diseases."
If you make tea or cook porridge, you can think about it during the day and dream about it at night. My father even joked at the time that this herb should be called 'Wishes Come True' grass. I didn't understand it before, but now that I think about it,
Indeed, if you can let people see what they want to see, it means that their wishes will come true."
Yan Changxia was still sighing at the magic of food.
When he heard this, his beautiful fox eyes suddenly widened: "...Ah? There is also this kind of herbal medicine? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Zheng Qingran and Zhou Libai were still watching the mixing of wine songs. After hearing this, they couldn't help but come closer. The two of them and their four pairs of eyes were all shining with shock and curiosity.
Xiao Nianzhi actually brought the topic to this topic intentionally. Recently, the eldest princess has a good impression of Zhou Libai. She wants to go back to Baima Temple tomorrow. If the eldest princess retains someone, Zhou Libai will stay at Baima Temple and will not follow her down the mountain.
.
If that's the case, then through her, sending some signals or reminders to the eldest princess, maybe there will be different gains.
Xiao Nianzhi has always been suspicious of the reason why the eldest princess came to White Horse Temple in advance by such a coincidence.
In modern times, she also knows that many hallucinogenic drugs can achieve certain indescribable effects.
Xiao Nianzhi guessed that there might be corresponding herbal medicines in ancient times.
So, she was going to try it secretly.
Anyway, it was just daily household chores, and the blame was placed on Father Xiao who was no longer around. Even if everyone was curious, they would not ask too deeply, and Zhou Libai could also tell this as an anecdote to the eldest princess later.
Although I don’t know how likely it is, this is a good idea before I can’t get close to the eldest princess.
You have to give everything a try.
Now seeing that Zhou Libai was indeed interested, Xiao Nianzhi smiled and nodded: "My father told me this before, but unfortunately he didn't want me to study medicine. In addition, my father said that if those herbs were not needed for some necessary formulas,
It’s better not to try it easily, as it won’t do much good for your body.”
Yan Xingxuan was originally watching the mix with curiosity, but when he heard Xiao Nianzhi sharing anecdotes from the past, he quietly came over.
Hearing that that kind of grass can make people think about it during the day and dream about it at night, he was quite curious and wanted to try it.
As a result, after hearing that this thing was harmful to the body, I stopped thinking about it.
He admitted that he was just afraid of death.
He hasn't eaten much of this world's delicacies, so how can he be willing to die?
However, his unwillingness to try it did not affect his curiosity about this kind of thing: "Think about it, what is the name of this herb?"
Regarding this question, Xiao Nianzhi could only shake his head regretfully: "I don't know very well. I can't even recognize the herbs. Even if my father may have mentioned it accidentally, I don't remember it."
Yan Xingxuan couldn't see Xiao Nianzhi's sad expression, so after listening to her words, he waved his hands hurriedly: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember. I'm just curious to ask, by the way, what should I do after finishing the song?"
Changing the topic forcefully, the others also took care of Xiao Nianzhi's emotions and were not too curious about this issue.
However, they couldn't help but remember this herbal medicine.
Several people secretly thought: Maybe they will know about such a magical herbal medicine if they ask the Taiyuan Hospital later?
Xiao Nianzhi accepted the kindness of his friends and turned around to talk to them about the subsequent brewing process.
After mixing the koji, it is fermented.
Light-flavored wine can be fermented in one month, while strong-flavored wine takes about two and a half to three months.
This also has something to do with the external environment, and it will depend on the specific situation.
After listening, several people nodded in understanding.
I still don’t really understand it, but it’s really interesting.
