God of Cookery Live Room

Chapter 95
There is a long stone road paved in the village.

It has spread deep into the village.

The village is very quiet, and there are not many tourists. They are scattered in twos and threes, taking pictures or watching the scenery.

People in the village always get up early, some are on their way to the fields, and some have just returned from picking vegetables.

The villagers who picked vegetables hung a bamboo basket full of fresh vegetables, and the leaves were still stained with crystal dew.

Chen Er went to say hello and asked about the location of Longevity Spring.

Walking along the direction of the other party's finger, the houses that I saw along the way were filled with smoke, emitting the aroma of breakfast.

Footsteps made a slight sound on the stone pavement.

Chen Er stretched out his hand to push aside a cluster of peach tree branches protruding from the yard of a nearby house, and finally saw the cliff at the end of the village.

After walking a few steps forward, I heard the sound of running water.

At the same time, several large characters also came into view.

"Longevity Spring".

Chen Er took a closer look and saw a clear and transparent spring gushing out from the crevice in the rock.

A Wang Qingquan gathered there.

The water vapor around the spring water is transpiring, and the early morning sun shines down, refracting colorful rays of light in the misty water vapor.

Shine brightly on the entire rock wall.

Chen Er took off a small bamboo tube hanging on his backpack and scooped out half of the tube to drink.

"The spring water is clear and sweet, worthy of being good water."

"The water in the early morning is slightly cold, and the entrance is chilly."

"This spring water gushes out of the rocks, and there should be many rhizomes of plants on the mountain flowing along the way, so the spring water has its own fragrance of plants, with a light and fragrant taste."

Chen Er drank another half of the can, and then patted his stomach.

"Wait and find the villagers to borrow a big wooden bucket to scoop up some water."

Chen Er found a villager, rented a house to live in temporarily, and borrowed a big wooden barrel.

When the head of the household learned that Chen Er was going to scoop up spring water, he wanted to go with him.

"It's such a big bucket, and the road is so far away, how can you carry it!"

Then I told Chen Er that a tourist who came before insisted on taking a bucket of spring water, but couldn't walk after half a way, and then turned back to the village to ask for help.

Chen Er thanked him for his kindness.

Not to mention one bucket, even two buckets can be carried by him.

After a while, Chen Er came back with a bucket full of spring water.

Then I asked the owner to bring an earthen jar for pickling vegetables.

Start preparing the first ingredients in the yard.

The head of the household took his family to work in the fields.

Chen Er took out the items in the backpack one by one.

While taking the cake, he said, "This is millet and this is distiller's yeast."

As soon as they saw the koji and millet, everyone almost guessed that Chen Er wanted to brew rice wine.

Chen Er arranged the things, washed the earthen pot and put it aside.

"Today the anchor is going to prepare the first ingredient for 'Little Pig'."

"Brewing sake."

Chen Er explained, "Don't misunderstand that sake is from an island country when you hear the name."

This is actually a kind of helplessness. Many cultures of the island country are deeply influenced by China, and many places are "similar".

"Sake has existed in China since ancient times. When the term "sake" first appeared, it was pushed back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Zhou Li · Tianguan Jiuzheng" said: To distinguish the three types of wine, one is about wine, the other is about past wine, The third is sake."

"Sake was a high-grade wine used in rituals at that time."

"We use ancient methods to brew this famous wine that has been passed down for thousands of years."

Chen Er began to deal with the koji.

Pour the vacuum-packed koji into a large porcelain bowl.

Then scoop out an appropriate amount of spring water to soak the koji.

After processing the koji, Chen Er washed the millet and steamed it in a steamer.

"The use of koji for wine making in ancient times is a major feature of my country's wine making industry."

"The "Qi Min Yao Shu" written by Jia Sixie in the Northern Wei Dynasty has eight examples of koji making methods and more than forty examples of wine making methods. The method used by the anchor today comes from this book."

"There are two main methods of making wine with koji in ancient times. One is the method of soaking koji, and the other is the method of mixing koji."

"The dipping method was the most commonly used method in the Han Dynasty and even during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. So the anchor chose the dipping method."

Chen Er explained how to make wine while waiting for the millet to be steamed and the koji to activate.

Everyone listened carefully, and few people sent barrage.

"The process of soaking koji is not complicated. It is to soak the koji in water first. After the koji starts, that is, after the enzyme preparation in the koji is dissolved and activated, the koji juice is filtered and steamed. The millet starts to ferment, which is called the dipping method."

The time to wait for the koji to start is not too long.

Chen Er filtered the koji juice, mixed the koji juice with steamed millet and sealed it in a jar for fermentation.

"The fermentation time will be relatively long, so during the waiting time for fermentation. The anchor will have to look for another ingredient."

Chen Er reorganized the backpack, leaving only some emergency items, put on hiking shoes, and went into battle lightly.

Drive to Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon.

There is the Taihang Mountain Scenic Area closest to Changshou Village.

Chen Er got out of the car and talked to everyone while walking.

"There is a national forest park in the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon."

"The uplift and depression of the bottom crust of the Grand Canyon caused huge dislocations of the Taihang Mountain piedmont faults, forming an intricate distribution pattern of the majestic Taihang Mountains and canyons."

"As you can see, the mountains here are steep, the terrain is high, and the green plants are rich."

There are many tourists in the Grand Canyon, much more than those in Changshou Village.

Chen Er climbed up a small mountain peak along a path.

Don't dare to talk too much during the process, lest you make a mistake and regret it forever.

After climbing to a flat place, Chen Er took a breath.

Leaning on a big rock and looking down.

The sun above our heads has risen very high. It is almost June now, and the sunshine is blazing and dazzling.

Chen Er narrowed his eyes slightly, facing the sun and the mountain wind.

He reached out and picked a piece of dogtail grass from the grass beside him, put it in his mouth, and pinched his feet comfortably.

Most tourists climb the mountain to rest at a relatively high position to see the scenery at the high place. If they can't climb, they will turn back down the mountain.

Chen Er leaned against the big rock alone, he didn't intend to continue to climb up, nor did he intend to go down the mountain after resting enough.

The green smell of dogtail grass spread in his mouth. Chen Er opened his mouth, and the cool mountain breeze poured in, and the smell slowly hit his nose.

Chen Er patted the ashes on his hands, searched in the nearby grass for a while, then grabbed a blade of grass and uprooted it.

Lift it up for everyone to see.

"Look what this is."

I saw Chen Er holding a plant very similar to the dogtail grass in his hand.

The only difference is that its tassels are larger, the leaves are longer and wider, and it resembles a dog's tail more than the dog's tail.

The tassels are white and big, fluffy like an animal's tail.

Chen Er held the dog's tail in his mouth and said hastily, "This thing is called Imperata chinensis, and the root can be used as medicine."

"Hmm..." Chen Er thought for a while, and added, "It's the big cousin of the dog's tail grass."

　Thank you for the reward of [Doujiu Wangyou]! (*^__^*)
