A cloud floated from the horizon and stayed there, adding a white cloud to the blue sky.
The sun fell on the edge of the well in the backyard, and Yu Sheng was squatting there to rest, with sweat on his face and a bucket of water next to him.
After the mountain paste hit yesterday, I have been busy organizing the wine cellar for the rest of my life. I just finished it this morning, and now I am exchanging the recipe for Shaoxing old wine in the system.
Brewing is the only thing the system does for you. One problem is that all the raw materials must be prepared before the system can start.
Among them, the most important is water.
Water is also different. In my life, I plan to brew the same type of wine but with different tastes, and well water is the inferior one.
It is also the most popular type of wine brewed by Yu Sheng. Among the large wine vats left by Lao Yu, there are three large vats filled with well water, and this barrel is the only one missing from the remaining large vat.
This was exhausting for Yu Sheng, because all the water was carried in by Yu Sheng alone.
Ye Zigao and Fu Nan originally wanted to help, but Yu Sheng refused.
When water enters the vat, it directly turns into wine. If they see this, they will not be able to explain it clearly for the rest of their lives.
In addition to the four large tanks, the wine cellar also has four large tanks, but the water used will be different.
Yu Sheng has already decided. There are three remaining tanks. The two tanks will use half of the water for brewing from the well and half of the water exchanged by the system.
A full tank of water is filled with water redeemed by the system, but it is different because all the wine and rice used in a tank of wine are redeemed by the system.
This last vat can be said to be full of spiritual power and extremely valuable. If I don’t believe it for the rest of my life, I won’t be able to suppress those city lords.
Cao'er passed by with Qiuqiu in his arms and saw that Yu Sheng was resting, "Shopkeeper, you won't be irritated by being in the wine cellar all day, right?"
"How can I be stimulated?" Yu Sheng was confused.
"It's a whole pig feast." Cao'er said, "Don't be discouraged. I think what you made is delicious, although I have never tasted Yangzhou Yizhu's whole pig feast."
Fresh ingredients are the most important, and there was a big harvest of pork yesterday, so Yu Sheng exchanged the recipes and made a few pork dishes, which was barely a pork feast.
Because Pork Nine helped dissect and seal the pig, we had lunch at the inn.
After everyone else tasted the pork feast prepared by Yu Sheng, they all agreed, but the pork Jiu felt that the cooking was still a bit lacking.
He tasted a few mouthfuls at that time and said: "If we say that in Yangzhou, Xiao Yu'er's level is ranked third, and no one dares to be ranked second, but compared to my master, it is still a little behind."
The master of the nine pork dishes is a famous butcher in Yangzhou City. Yangzhou is famous for its pig-killing dishes or pig-killing feasts.
Pork Nine is not just talking nonsense, he also pointed out the shortcomings after tasting each dish.
"My master said that the whole pig feast is very particular." Pork Jiu has a rare opportunity to show off, and he is showing off to the rest of his life.
He told Yu Sheng that as the protagonist of the whole pig feast, the types and ages of the pigs were different, and the cooking was also different.
In addition, different parts, cooking methods, and heat are also different. Only by choosing the most appropriate one can the ultimate deliciousness of the ingredients be brought out.
"For example, this white meat dish with garlic paste uses hind leg meat, but it is still not good. It is best to use the largest piece of lean meat in the hind leg meat." Pork Nine pointed out to Yu Sheng.
As a butcher who kills pigs all year round, he can tell which part of the meat he chooses for Yu Sheng’s garlic white meat dish at a glance.
Not only that, this garlic white meat dish has a step of cooking the meat.
Pork Jiu told Yu Sheng that cooking meat has a lot to do with the age of the pig. Older pigs need to be cooked longer.
"You didn't take this into consideration. The meat was not cooked until it was soft, and the toughness affected the taste of the minced garlic white meat." Pork Jiu said.
This was a waste of time for Yu Sheng. He was already very old at cooking, but the recipes that Yu Sheng redeemed in the system were taken from his previous life, and there was no such thing as sealed pork in his previous life.
Yu Sheng cooked the meat according to the free-range black pigs in his previous life. Even so, the age of the pigs was also very different, so Yu Sheng didn't know how to cook the meat.
At that time, the system issued a task to Yu Sheng - [Recipe: Collect and Improve]
Task content: In view of the differences in ingredients and recipes in Dahuang, the host is asked to collect and improve the redeemed recipes on his own;
Mission rewards: Each recipe rewards demon cards or spell white cards, as well as a large amount of merit points.
At that time, when Yu Sheng received a sudden mission from the system, he was surprised by the white spell card and asked the system, so he looked dumbfounded.
Zhu Zhujiu thought it was a blow to Yu Sheng, so he waved his hands and said that he was just talking nonsense, took a few mouthfuls of rice and left.
However, Yu Sheng came to his senses after hearing that spell white cards are like simulation cards and can copy other people's spells.
Seeing that Pork Jiu had left, he didn't say much and went to the backyard to continue cleaning up the wine cellar.
This made the people in the inn mistakenly think that Yu Sheng's pride as a cook was shattered, so Cao'er said so.
"Go, am I so easily hit?" Yu Sheng said. Besides, it's not his fault, it's all because of the system's failure.
After resting for a while, Yu Sheng got up, carried the bucket back to the wine cellar, and poured it into the vat.
The rice needed for the four tanks of wine had been placed nearby. Yu Sheng specially asked Fu Nan to drive a thunder truck to Yangzhou to transport it back.
"System, you are the system, sir." Yu Sheng finally bargained with the system, "Your processing fee is too expensive, isn't it?"
The four big vats actually collected 1,200 merit points for Yu Sheng, and it was still the worst wine.
The system said: "In this system, you get what you pay for. If it's cheap, can you rest assured about the wine you brew?"
"Can't we bargain any more?" Yu Sheng said.
"No, even if you call me uncle," the system said.
"Then you call me uncle..."
"Add another 800 merit points." The system interrupted him.
"Hey, your uncle is only worth 800 merit points, tsk tsk." Yu Sheng shook his head.
The system said coldly: "No, there is still the money you squandered."
For the rest of my life, I shouted "Your uncle" every time I called the system, but this was just the abbreviation of one missing verb.
"Thank you for thinking about me." Yu Sheng ended the conversation between the two and chose to pay 1,200 merit points.
In the blink of an eye, the wine and rice disappeared. When the four large vats were opened, the well water turned amber and exuded the aroma of wine.
Yu Sheng took a spoonful of wine and tasted it. Compared with the Huadiao worth a jar of 120 merits that Aunt Qing drank, the taste was a bit stiff and the wine taste was a bit strong.
But it is only a little short of the best wine in Yangzhou, and there is still spiritual power in it, so it can barely be used as a good wine for ordinary guests in Zhaixinglou.
The system's brewing method is quite good. Prepare the raw materials and click Confirm.
Yu Sheng, who started preparing the next two tanks of brewing ingredients, asked the system: "Why can't cooking be so simple?"
The system said: "The system has to do this as a last resort. It is very strict in brewing wine. With your IQ, you are afraid of smashing the evil sign."
"Your uncle." Yu Sheng greeted it, brought in the well water, mixed it with the high-quality water exchanged by the system, and then paid a thousand merit points.
Yes, the system charges more processing fees for these two cylinders of wine than for the four cylinders just now.
After the brewing was completed, Yu Sheng opened the lid of the vat and tasted it. Compared with the previous wine, these two vats had an attractive and fragrant aroma, and the taste was much more elegant, having accumulated over time.
After Yu Sheng sealed it, he decided to give the wine a name. Shaoxing could not be lost. The first four tanks were called Shaoxing Old Wine, and the last two tanks were called Shaoxing Hundred Years Old Wine.
If someone asked about the origin of the name "Shaoxing", Yu Sheng would serve him a plate of pork and ask him about the origin of pigs.
"What's your aunt asking about?" the system asked.
If you ignore it for the rest of your life, your aunt will not be so bored.
Seeing that Yu Sheng ignored it, the system asked again: "What is the name of the last vat of wine? Shaoxing thousand-year-old wine?"
The final use of this vat will use the water exchanged by the system and the rice exchanged by the system for brewing, which will also consume a lot of merit points.
"What a thousand-year-old wine, it's so stupid." Yu Sheng successfully occupied the IQ high ground, "Let's call it Shaoxing 1982, or Shaoxing 2017."
"Others don't believe in a thousand-year-old wine, but when they hear your specific age, they find it credible."
He spent the rest of his life teaching the system how to do business, but he forgot that he was the system's only customer.
"Let me tell you, I have made up all the stories." Yu Sheng said.
Why Shaoxing only chooses wine rice from a certain place? More than 2,000 years ago, there was a drought and then a flood, which greatly reduced grain production, but the mature grain was very suitable for wine making...
