I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 309 Three Bowls But Gang (22)

Walking into the room where Qu Wo was placed, Zhou Dong was very satisfied.

Li Xiuchen cleaned the room very clean, and there were even traces of wet marks on the floor, which seemed to be cleaned just before he came.

Once the koji is in the dimples, it has high requirements on the storage environment. If the environment is unhygienic, mold may grow, which will definitely affect the taste of the finished wine.

When the Quwo was opened, a faint aroma of wine came to the face.

"what?"

Lingyin Temple is not Luzong, even the monk disciples in the temple do not abstain from vegetarian wine, but they are not allowed to get drunk, so the old abbot occasionally brews some wine to store in the cellar. When it comes to understanding wine, Yan Yi is still thinking about it. above the beloved.

"Is this koji made from glutinous rice?
It's a good thing. This kind of distiller's yeast can be paired with different grains in the future to produce various rice wines with different flavors.

When I was in the temple, I also saw the master making koji, but I had never seen the koji with a faint aroma of wine. How did Zhou Mianwang do it? "

Don’t look at Zhoudong Lane’s koji, which has a faint aroma of wine. In fact, in the normal process of brewing, if the koji is not mixed with soaked wine rice and fermented for a period of time, it is impossible to have the aroma of wine. Yes, if even raw koji can have the aroma of wine, how good is this wine?

Yan saw that Zhou Dong's gaze was full of surprise, this King Zhou Mian really had too many secrets hidden in him, and he was amazed every time.

"What's so strange about this? Anything unusual can happen to this guy. You'll know it after you've been with him for a long time."

"Amitabha, what Chef Huai said is very true."

Yan Yi now understands, the master said that his chance is not in the temple, it really is a prophecy, his chance seems to be in the young master in front of him!

Zhou Dong flipped through the wine koji a few times, and immediately appeared in his mind how to mix the ingredients, how to soak the wine rice, and the method of stepping on the koji, and who to use, etc., because the "wine in the system" must be matched. Cited to use, his brewing method is somewhat different from ordinary rice wine brewing, and I am afraid that some of his actions will be difficult for people to understand.

However, it is also owned by ancient methods, and those who are truly knowledgeable will not make a fuss.

"Brother Li, after the location of the winery is selected, I will have Kyushu Dingshi build it within three days, and at the same time, the 'wine rice' and water used for wine making will be transported to Fengqi Mountain in the shortest possible time.

In addition, the rice wine I want to brew is a little different from the general process. There will be a stepping procedure similar to that of brewing white wine. I need some "stepping" people. I want to find people nearby. The folks who can use Fengqi Mountain are the best."

"Haha, it's nice to be brave,
It’s not the busy season yet, and when I go out to work, I’m often in arrears of wages, so the most indispensable thing in the mountains is strong laborers.

Don’t dare to say too much, your brother Zhou wants to employ people, as long as I say hello, dozens of strong male laborers can be gathered in a few nearby villages. "

Li Xiuchen was very happy when he heard that, this brother Zhou is simply a nobleman of Fengqi Mountain. Not only has he brought countless benefits to Fengqi Village, but now even the nearby villages are also benefiting. This is due to his connections. In the future, he will be the most prestigious person in the entire Fengqi Mountain area.

"Brother, let's talk as we walk."

Li Xiuchen happily pulled Zhou Dong, and secretly decided that the land of Ajie Valley must be 'rented' to Brother Zhou at the cheapest price. Even if Kyushu Dingshi paid for it, it would be for Brother Zhou's face.

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Speaking of Ajiegu, what I'm going to use this time is not the male labor in the village, but the sisters here."

"You mean?"

After all, Li Xiuchen was a layman. I heard that Zhou Dong was looking for the sisters in the village. Although I believed in his character, I still looked at him strangely.

"Hehe, King Zhou Mian is indeed an expert."

Yan Yi smiled, and took the initiative to take over the words: "I know this, the procedure of stepping on music that is necessary for brewing liquor is all done by young women,

This is because the brewing of good wine has high requirements on the strength and density of the koji. It must be elastic and crushable to facilitate fermentation.

Because men are generally heavier, stepping on the koji too hard can easily cause the koji to be stepped on too tightly, which is not conducive to brewing good wine with a strong sauce and mellow flavor.

As far as I know, in Moutai and Wuliangye's Ququ workshops, there are only young and light girls, and even fat aunts are not suitable, let alone men. "

Li Xiuchen was stunned: "There is such a saying?"

"Hehe, Master Yan is right, but he hasn't said the whole thing yet."

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "Another reason is that the temperature of the workshop where the music is stepped on is relatively high, and women are more resistant to heat than men, and are more able to accept the high temperature environment.
Moreover, there will be less bacteria and secretions on women's feet, which will not deteriorate the koji or affect the pH.Only in this way can the original taste of the wine be guaranteed. "

Yan Yi gave Zhou Dong a thumbs-up: "Amazing, it seems that I can't call you Zhou Mian Wang anymore, you are even an expert in brewing wine, you are simply omnipotent!

But my all-round chef Zhou, I have seen the master brewing wine anyway, and I am not an amateur in rice wine brewing.

As far as I know, rice wine is at best a 'mixed koji', and it seems that the process of stepping on koji is not used.

It's not Wuliangye, which uses a variety of grains with different softness and hardness, so it needs a more refined 'stepping' process? "

Zhou Dong smiled slightly, and glanced at the three curious guys: "I'm actually not really stepping on music. Stepping on music is stepping on bricks. Strictly speaking, it's the process of making music.

And I have already made the wine koji in advance, the so-called stepping on the koji is actually just a process of 'mixing koji', but I need to use this method to complete the brewing is special this time.

Do you know the name of the rice wine I want to brew? "

Huai Liang shook his head: "It's weird that no one can guess what people like you do, tell me quickly!"

"Three bowls are no more than Gang!"

Three bowls but Gang?
The three of them stared wide-eyed. No matter what, they never expected that Zhou Dong would give such a name to the first brewed rice wine.

Isn't this too ridiculous?In today's era where high-grade liquor is rampant, what kind of rice wine dares to use this name, have you asked the 65-degree burning knife whether you agree or not?
Huai Liang immediately snorted: "Are you kidding? Is there a hill in front of Kyushu Dingshi? The name doesn't match the reality!"

Zhou Dong laughed loudly: "Did you forget that this wine also has a name, called going out?"

"It's even more nonsense. If it's rice wine, don't say three bowls, five or six bowls won't overwhelm me!"

Naturally, Huai Liang couldn't compare to Zhou Dong's miraculous drinking capacity, but a few bowls of rice wine still wouldn't make him, a Michelin chef, drunk. After all, when he was in France, he often drank top-quality red wine as water.

"Not five or six bowls, but three bowls!

Guaranteed to make you drunk before you go out, if you don't believe me, let's make a bet,

If you lose, teach my three students your skills in Cantonese cuisine, and strictly supervise them for me.

If you win, I will take care of your meals for free for a month, three meals a day, and I will cook for you myself! "

Zhou Dong throws out a fatal temptation.

Huai Liangren's eyes lit up immediately: "Haha, Lao Zhou, this is your offer to come to be my private cook, how can I have the nerve to refuse?

I bet! "

While speaking, the four of them walked into Ajie Valley unconsciously.
