I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 252
This kid, did he have a dog's nose?

The old man surnamed Cai panicked and quickly covered the wine gourd, as if if Zhou Dong smelled the wine a few more times, he would suffer a big loss.

"Where the water for wine making is, river water is the best, followed by Ganjing near the river, and mountain spring water is the second best.

"Qi Min Yao Shu" records: "The so-called water harvesting method, the river water is the best, and the river water is used for making koji, soaking koji, cooking, and brewing.Houses without hands use Ganjing water ears. '"

Zhou Dong glanced at the old man surnamed Cai: "Old Cai, if I am not wrong in my judgment, this gourd 'cup shake light' should be brewed with the river water from the Yellow River, right?"

Before the old man surnamed Cai answered, Lu Luxin couldn't help but interjected: "Zhou Dong, think it over before you say it, "Qi Min Yao Shu" is a book written more than 1000 years ago after all, is it still inappropriate?
Perhaps at that time, it was difficult to obtain mountain springs and easy to obtain river water.

There is no reason why the sweet and clear mountain spring water is not as good as the Yellow River water? "

After all, she is just a cook, not a winemaker, and she is also a girl who loves to hug a wombat and eat snacks on the sofa behind closed doors.

All girls in the world are afraid that when they talk about the Yellow River, they will think of the rolling yellow soup full of mud and sand. ,
It is indeed difficult for girls to accept the saying that river water is better than mountain spring water.

The old man surnamed Cai chuckled and looked at Zhou Dong, clearly wanting to hear his explanation.

He has intensively studied 'drinking' and 'food' throughout his life, and his preference for wine even exceeds that of various delicacies.

'Zhou Mian Wang' is fine, but the name 'Zhou Dionysus' makes him very brooding.

Otherwise, he would not bear the pain to give up his love, and take out the "cup shaker" like a sweetheart to test Zhou Dong, to see if his "Bacchus" is exaggerating!
Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "Lu Zhentou doesn't know something.

Not only "Qi Min Yao Shu", Ma Shiqing, a wine master in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote "Shui Shuo", the original manuscript is in my hand,

"Shui Shuo" also has a detailed explanation of the world's famous water, clearly stating that river water has been the best water for winemaking since ancient times, far surpassing the water from Ganjing near the river and various mountain springs.
Think about it, Lu Zhentou, where do all the famous wines in our country come from? "

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Among them, the most famous and top brands are likely to be produced near the Huanghuai wine belt and Chishui ZY on the Yangtze River.

The Huanghuai baijiu belt includes Songhe, Kouzi and Yanghe three blues.
The Chishui tributary of the Yangtze River has several famous "golden flowers", Wuliangye, Luzhou, Langjiu, Mianzhu, Jiannanchun, Maotai, Dongjiu.
None of these famous wines can get around the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. When did you hear that Moutai was brewed by a certain mountain spring?Wuliangye is supported by which eye 'Royal well'? "

Lu Luxin was a little dissatisfied: "I don't want to believe in famous wines that are not brewed with well water and mountain spring water."

"Yes, of course."

Zhou Dong laughed and said, "Langjiu, Gujing Gong, Jiannanchun, Yanghe...
In fact, many brands are using spring water or well water.
However, these springs and wells are not really independent mountain springs and groundwater wells.
It's the "springs" and "wells" near the river and near the river. These springs and wells are actually made of river water or river water. To put it bluntly, they use river water!

Although it has been filtered by the strata, the quality exceeds that of riverside water and riverside water, but it is far inferior to that of 'Hexin' and 'Jiangxin' water. "

The old man surnamed Cai said with a smile: "What do you think makes sense?"

From Zhou Mianwang, Zhou Dionysus to Zhou Boy at the beginning, they are all called "Little Friends" now,

Zhu Yanping quietly glanced at the old man surnamed Cai, and smiled secretly in his heart, this old Qinxing had unknowingly put Zhou Dong on an equal position with himself, Brother Zhou is amazing.

"Hehe, Mr. Cai is trying to test me? Then I'll talk about it.
The way to make wine starts with koji. After having koji, where the water is used in the fermentation process of wine becomes very important.

The various components contained in the brewing water are closely related to the growth of beneficial microorganisms, the formation and action of enzymes, and the fermentation of grains or mash until the quality of finished wine.

If the water quality is poor, the various components contained in the water are not rich enough or too rich, it will cause slow fermentation of distiller's grains, slow growth of aspergillus, slow rise of koji temperature, poor growth of yeast, and affect the formation of aroma-producing substances. It will cause astringent and bitter taste, abnormal odor, discoloration, precipitation and other phenomena.

The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are the two mother rivers with a long history in China.
Passing through various terrains and landforms along the way, it not only integrates snow-capped mountains and clean water, but also integrates countless spring veins along the way. These spring veins are hard or soft and contain various elements.

So to compare whether the water quality is rich in ingredients, how can those independent mountain springs or independent groundwater wells compare with the Yellow River and the Yangtze River?

This is why those independent springs and independent groundwater wells cannot support a famous wine brand! "

"Old Zhou is really awesome. When it comes to distinguishing water and brewing wine, I'm really not as good as him."

Mr. Huailiang felt emotional when he heard it, and suddenly he was a little rejoicing. Fortunately, the Xiangjiang food competition is not more than teaching students, nor is it more than brewing wine, otherwise, wouldn't he be a loser?
But the girl is careful, and Lu Luxin quickly grasped the point: "No, according to you, it is not good to have too many ingredients in the water. Doesn't the Yellow River and Yangtze River have this problem?"

"It is precisely because of this issue that some brewing masters and brewing companies throughout the ages have gone through countless attempts to find the most suitable waters for wine making.

The Yangtze River runs through China from east to west, but why are several famous wines produced in Chishui and ZY regions?

This is because the ingredients in the water are not enough if you don't reach this area!After passing this area, the ingredients in the water are too rich. Only such a section of the river can be famous for wine! "

Zhou Dong thought for a while and said, "And as far as this section of the river is concerned, the best thing is 'Jiangxin Water'.

However, it is very difficult to obtain water from the heart of the river. It not only requires experienced masters, but also a set of ancient water fetching equipment. The wine is brewed with real 'Jiangxin water', which is a treasure that money may not be able to buy.

And the wine they mass-produce is only taken from the water in the "near river spring" or "near the river well", as recorded in "Qi Min Yao Shu": "A home without hands uses Ganjing water ears." '

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Cai couldn't help applauding and laughing: "Well said! My little friend is indeed a member of my generation!

But my old man still wants to ask my little friend, can you tell which section of the Yellow River this gourd 'cup shake light' came from? "

Zhou Dong looked at him: "Old Cai, you are making no sense,
It is not easy to judge that this gourd 'cup shake light' is brewed with the water of the Yellow River based on the aroma of the wine. You want me to tell you which water area it is?
Then let me take a sip first, otherwise I will be in trouble! "
