Raised a house of obsession

Chapter 162 Time Wine

After returning to the West Institute, Zhou Yi resumed his usual life.There are also several mental patients with split personality in the West Institute, and he is very interested in this kind of illness.

On the other hand, Zhou Yi is preparing materials to brew the first vat of liquor in his life. According to the records in the book, its name is "The Passing One".

As the name suggests, time is like this rushing river, passing by constantly, and time is gone like flowing water and will never return.

Drinking this wine can make people feel the passage of time.

It is a supernatural wonder.

Of course, this type of baijiu requires different materials. In addition to a special type of yeast, it also needs the hair of a centenarian as an "introduction".

The richer the life experience of this centenarian, the better, and the more bumpy the better, but he must retain his innocent heart.

A hundred years old, a rough life, and a pure heart, these requirements together are a very rare thing, and there are not many in the entire Daxia Alliance.

The old lady Sun Lihan happened to be one of them.

103 year old girl.

A handful of her hair was obtained by Zhou Yi, and counted, there are twelve in total.

"You want to make wine...You know how to make wine, kid? Tsk tsk, I, Old Li, can do it too!" Comrade Li Xianfeng hurried over after hearing the news.

Unprecedentedly, there is no sarcasm, but curiosity is the majority. Wine making is a kind of belief.

"I got a secret recipe. Anyway, I'm just idle. Why don't you try it, maybe this secret recipe will work." Zhou Yi laughed.

"What secret recipe?"

"The dead are like husbands, never giving up day and night!" Zhou Yi said shaking his head, "This is the emotion of a saint."

"Gentleman... let me help too!" Lao Li had drunk wine for so long, so naturally he had brewed it himself and has rich experience in the industry.

Zhou Yi didn't object either, and agreed with a smile.

After all, the most important thing in "the dead are like this" is the koji and Jiuyin. The yeast in the distiller's yeast comes with the booklet given by the slate, and the Jiuyin has a centenarian's hair that meets the standard.

Others don't have these two things at all, and it is even more impossible to steal a teacher.

The first is the production of distiller's yeast, rice, spicy Polygonum grass, lentil leaves, bamboo leaves, tianbian grass, orange tree leaves, osmanthus leaves...these materials are chopped and mixed together, and kneaded into small balls the size of pebbles.

Each small ball is coated with a special yeast liquid, and then placed in a place with a suitable temperature, covered with rice bran or dry straw, and the small balls are evenly placed on the rice bran or straw to let them ferment slowly.

After two days of fermentation, the koji is finished.

"Well... the season is just right now, the temperature is just right."

Although it was the first time to make distiller's koji, Zhou Yi knew that the distiller's koji was finished when he saw the white silk on those small balls, and the quality was quite high.

"It's so fragrant...the taste of rice wine." Li Xianfeng is a person who knows the goods, and said with wide eyes, "Your distiller's koji is made in an ordinary way, and the material is nothing special, but why is it so fragrant? I understand, you The yeast powder is not ordinary, can you give me some distiller's yeast?"

"No!" Zhou Yi said: "But I can treat you to a drink of the brewed wine. For your help, I can give you another catty or two, which is fine."

Li Xianfeng grinned. If you don't give it, then don't give it. After all, the production of distiller's yeast is a secret recipe handed down by many brewers.

"A lot, a lot!"

There happened to be a few businesses in the town that sold house liquor, and Li Xianfeng was a regular customer, and everyone knew each other.

Zhou Yi discussed with the middle-aged man for a while, and spent 300 yuan to rent a complete set of production tools for a few days.

Then Fu Lintao and Wu Zhenyu were also called in, and they were responsible for beating up.

The wine-making materials are actually quite common, and can be bought in the town. The sorghum with large grains is preferred, and the sorghum needs to be crushed with a roller, with 6 to 8 petals. This is done for the convenience of steaming.

Add some rice husks to the sorghum, add an appropriate amount of water and mix thoroughly, and leave it for about two hours to make the material absorb enough water.

Then put it in a steamer and steam over high heat for more than an hour. The steamed ingredients should be cooked. Just twist them with your hands and there will be no uncooked ingredients.

Finally, mix the steamed sorghum with the koji in proportion, add a certain amount of water, and put it into the wine cellar for fermentation after mixing. The indoor temperature for fermentation should be around 20 degrees.

The fermentation time is about 10 days.

But at this time, there is almost no fragrance, but "the dead are like this" has already shown its extraordinary power.

Comrade Fu Lintao, who was in charge of stirring the fermentation liquid, suddenly had a mental breakdown, crying and wanting to go to his grandmother's grave to worship.

"My grandma, why did you go..." Fu Lintao cried bitterly, claiming that he remembered his grandma.

This made Li Xianfeng look confused. This guy's grandma has been dead for more than ten years, right?

What are you going crazy all of a sudden?

Wu Zhenyu was also scratching his scalp, thinking of his dead grandfather, tears streaming down his face.

Only Zhou Yi vaguely guessed what happened. He sighed. It seems that when he has his own home, he still has to buy a complete set of wine making tools and do all the work by himself.Problems can arise when renting someone else's equipment.

After the fermentation was completed, the next step after 10 days was distillation. Since Fu Lintao showed signs of mental breakdown, Zhou Yi did not dare to let ordinary people participate, so he could only play by himself. Fortunately, there was a skilled worker, Li Xianfeng, who was not unable to do it.

It's just that after all the wine was distilled, both of them were affected to a certain extent
Li Xianfeng's expression changed, and he sighed: "Your wine is definitely a good wine. It can seduce people's emotions. It is a top quality wine. But under normal circumstances, I don't dare to drink it."

"I'll give you two catties, isn't that enough?"

"Enough is enough, absolutely enough."

The last step is cellaring. The brewed baijiu must be cellared in order to have a mellow taste. The taste of new wine is really washed out.

"The dead are like this" is divided into 4 levels in total, one month, one year, ten years, and one hundred years. The strength of each level is different.

So Zhou Yi packaged them into many jars. There was no place to store the wine in Xisuo, so he simply rented a truck, transported them to the master's house, and put them in the cellar for storage.In the foreseeable future, the master should live in seclusion in the small town.

Ye Tiansheng is also a good wine person, especially after hearing Li Xianfeng say that this is good wine, and there will be no objections.

"Century-year-old wine... I don't know if I can drink it." Zhou Yi sighed. After a hundred years, he would be 120 years old. He might have become a handful of loess, and he might still be alive, but most of the people would no longer be there. up.

This is the true meaning of "the dead are like this".
