Chapter 169 Brewing Tips

How to brew, I am definitely an expert. At present, only my family can brew shochu in the Song Dynasty. How to write, I have read and learned calligraphy in Tongjiang Academy, so I wrote down the entire process of making shochu truthfully.

There is absolutely no difficulty, but does this count as writing a book? Looking at what I studied in the academy before, they were all poems or articles that were full of literary brilliance.

"The articles of the predecessors are not all famous for their literary brilliance, but there are also simple and unpretentious ones, such as "Kaogong Ji", "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", etc. It only needs to state the production, application and identification methods, with pictures and texts in the middle.

The shopkeeper's wine-making techniques can be imitated by them." Dean Fang said as he led him to the library, opened the cabinet, took out a long-dusted "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and handed it to Wang Wen.

Wang Wen had been exposed to similar medicinal books with pictures and texts when he was studying at Tongjiang Academy. They mainly described the actual production, followed by the literary style, and it did not seem to be very difficult to copy and compile. After looking at it,

, began to write the "Wine Brewing Classic". After thinking for a long time, Wang Wen wrote the general outline of the Brewing Classic.

"Water is the blood of wine: the way to make wine is to choose water first. Different water will have different taste of wine. If the water quality is poor, the wine will taste astringent and bitter, and it is easy to have odor, discoloration and sedimentation. If the water quality is good, the wine will be wine.

It has a sweet taste. What is good water? It should feel refreshing when you taste it. If it tastes salty or bitter, it should not be used; if it smells like mud, iron, fart, etc., it should not be used. Take the water into the pot

, heat it until it feels hot to the touch, and smell it with your nose. If there is a rotten smell, a burnt smell, etc., it is bad water.

There are clouds, river water, well water, and spring water. Most of the water comes from the ground and passes through the mountain soil. The impurities in the soil melt into the water. It should be placed in a bowl and looked at after a day. If there is no debris at the bottom of the bowl, it is

good.

Qu is the soul of wine: different kojis will have obviously different flavors of wine. The koji comes from heaven and earth, is influenced by nature, and conforms to the four solar terms. When the dryness and wetness are suitable, it is put into a bent mold and pressed into a brick shape.

, and then placed in the koji room, controlling the appropriate temperature and moisture. It usually takes 30 to 45 days, after mold growth, cool mold, damp fire, dry fire and koji cultivation. The prepared koji can be stored for later use.

Grain is the meat of wine: the texture of rice determines the origin of wine. When it is moistened and soaked, it is steamed and gelatinized. After steaming and heating, it is placed on the field, water and koji are added, and it is fermented in the cellar.

The bones of wine: when entering the cellar, the wine must be compacted and the top of the cellar tightly sealed. After 8 times of curing and 8 times of fermentation, each fermentation period is one month. The fermentation process is like a cocoon turning into a butterfly, reborn, and matures.

It is later turned into wine. The fermentation period is long, which can enhance the aroma of the wine.

Steaming is the quality of wine: people learn the classics and their knowledge improves, and the quality of wine improves after steaming. When steaming, the classics looks at the flowers, picks the wine, and divides the wine into categories. For example, people who study the classics will be selected as Jinshi through the imperial examination, and they will be promoted.

The virtue is hidden in wine: learning lasts for a while, and cultivating virtue lasts a lifetime. The longer the wine is kept in the kiln, the better it tastes. Just like a Confucian scholar studying in a library all day long, his virtue will become deeper and deeper."

After seeing the general outline, my wife He Qingsheng, who was writing ink next to it, took a deep breath and praised: "I never thought that my husband's talent and learning are not inferior to those of well-educated Confucian scholars. His literary brilliance is brilliant and everyone can understand it at a glance.

"

Wang Wen hugged her and turned around with emotion and said: "It is a blessing in life to have a wife like this. The book on winemaking is not the work of one person. It must be signed by my wife and I as co-authors."

She blushed, shook him off and said, "I'm a girl's house, what kind of book do you want?"

He hugged her tightly again, smelled the fragrance and said: "Madam, her talent in tasting wine and making wine is no less than that of her husband. It is precisely because there has never been a woman in the world who has written a book, so we have to set a precedent for this."

.To establish virtue, meritorious service and words, there is no distinction between men and women."

"It's not formal, it's enough for you to have this heart." She struggled to free herself a few times, but couldn't. She half pushed and half leaned against him. The two of them tasted the wine together and continued to write the wine-making guide.

At this moment, there was a noise outside. Several servants came back from outside, lowering their heads and whispering in low voices with the servants working in the yard. After a while, several servants working also left.

He unloaded his tools and walked quickly to the door.

What big thing happened that caused them to put down their tools and run out one by one? He Qingsheng hurriedly left him and went to the yard to ask what happened. A maid replied in a panic: "We didn't see clearly either. It seems that Mrs. Ren and Ren

The young lady has been sent to Chunhuayuan again."

I received a letter from Miss Ren just half a month ago, saying that his father's term was about to expire and he might be promoted to Bianjing. My husband and I were happy for their family and sent someone to send letters and gifts. When I came back a few days ago, they were full of words.

Good news, everything has changed in just half a month? He Qingsheng hurriedly returned to the room and told Wang Wen, and the two of them hurried to the Chunhua Courtyard.

When they arrived at the Chunhua Courtyard, the shopkeeper had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Please forgive me, Shopkeeper Wang, for going to the Chunhua Courtyard to have fun and welcome me. Just like last time, I want to welcome Mrs. Ren and Miss Ren to the house. It is governed by the laws of the imperial court. Please

I’m sorry that it’s hard for me to obey.”

Now Wang Wen is not only the richest man in Changtan, but also ranks among the top in wealth in the country. Having money but not making money has his own difficulties. After Wang Wen met with Mrs. Ren, she and Ren Yuheng cried and talked about it

What happened: "The master resigned and handed over to the next one. Yu Heng and I were packing our luggage. Suddenly, an imperial edict came, saying that someone had found out that he had embezzled more than 200,000 taels of official silver during his three years in office. The investigation was immediately carried out.

Our family sent the master to Hainan, and we sent him here."

The transshipment envoy was originally a fat man. Judging from my correspondence with him in the past few years, the corruption was not groundless. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was suppressed by political opponents. If it was a loss of 200,000 taels, I could take it.

The money was filled in, and more than 200,000 yuan was embezzled. The evidence was conclusive, but there was nothing that could be done. Besides, my parents had always taught me that I must be innocent. If I used money to save a corrupt official, my parents would not approve even though they knew that he was a corrupt official.

He is the father of his god-sister. However, the law of the court is that if he cannot be saved, he cannot save Mrs. Ren and his god-sister Ren Yuheng.

It's true that unpredictable events happen from the sky, and people are blessed with such things. Two girls were sitting at home, and misfortune fell from the sky, and they couldn't control it at all. Jin Huabin was filled with emotions, closed the computer and went to work to do some transfers.

Transfer. Seeing that there was no hope of compiling the curve here, the two interns from the related households had already written their resignation reports and handed them to him as soon as they saw him come in. Be polite and save them for future encounters. He was at the farmhouse where Xiao Xiang Haixing was staying.

I booked a private room to see them off.

I haven't met Xiang Haixing in a few days. It looks like he has a hard life. His waistline is thicker and his face is bigger. He drinks all the time. There is no way. When guests come, he has to fuck at every table.

One cup, more than ten tables for each meal, and the monkeys were fed into fat pigs. Seeing Jin Huabin and others coming in, he was even more happy to greet him and said: "I am going to open a B&B in the White Tower. I will borrow the theme of your forum when the time comes.

Some."

"Okay, take it if you want. If you want to promote it, I'll give you a 50% discount." Jin Huabin replied with a smile.

"I just want to borrow your Wang Wen story. Where is it?" He leaned over and looked at Jin Huabin's laptop.

Because he was waiting for the food, he opened his handbag and put it on the table.
