Return to the era of passion

Chen Xiuli deliberately waited for a moment before saying, "Okay, I will reluctantly accept you as a stupid apprentice."

Wang Bin followed behind, and Chen Xiuli introduced the process of making distilled liquor. This is very simple. Rice, wheat, glutinous rice, millet, and barley can be used.

Steam them first, then break them up. When they cool to more than 30 degrees, add the koji and stir evenly, add a certain amount of water, and finally put it into a clean container.

There should be a small hole in the middle of the grain. After sealing it, add some water to it after two or three days. After leaving it for a period of time, a simple distilled wine is ready.

In summer it only takes 5 to 7 days, while in winter it takes 7 to 10 days.

This kind of wine has a low alcohol content, and most people are not used to drinking this kind of low-alcohol wine.

The most important thing is to disinfect the utensils. If bacteria remain on the utensils, it will affect the fermentation of the koji.

There are also other brewing techniques, which Chen Xiuli explained one by one.

What Wang Bin wanted was the brewing method of Erguotou. After hearing this, he asked with some persistence: "Old classmate, what conditions do you have for you to tell me the method of Erguotou?"

Chen Xiuli looked at Wang Bin carefully. Wang Tiezhu was a bit thin when he was in junior high school. She didn't expect that he would not grow up very tall and powerful in two or three years. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and looked loyal.

He even said that he wanted to get married for the second time, so it would be nice to marry Wang Tiezhu.

He said generously: "Unless you marry me."

Wang Bin was sweating profusely. He would definitely not agree to this condition. Chen Xiuli was quite good-looking and had a good figure, but she was a divorced woman after all. If she married someone else, she would criticize her all her life.

Besides, how could I give up a large forest for a tree?

"Old classmate, stop joking. Is there any other way?"

In fact, the craftsmanship of Erguotou is not an exclusive secret recipe. Before liberation, there were dozens of wineries in the entire capital using the craftsmanship of Erguotou.

But later those big wineries were all integrated together and became Niulanshan Erguotou.

Although decades have passed, there should still be many people who know how to do charity work in Erguotou. It should be possible to find a master who knows this craft and give him some gifts.

"I know you don't like me either." Chen Xiuli was a little sad. She had already been married once, and it was not easy to find someone she liked.

You can like the other person, but the other person doesn't like you.

Chen Xiuli said: "Actually, there is another way, but it is the same as what is not said."

Wang Bin said: "No, just tell me first, maybe I can do it?"

Wang Bin disliked people who were hiding things. He just said what he wanted to say without hesitation. He had to be asked for a long time before he said it.

Chen Xiuli said: "Right now, there is a shortage of food. We have no raw materials. If you can get hundreds or thousands of catties of food, my father will definitely be willing to teach you."

"So much?" Wang Bin was a little surprised.

This problem is simply unsolvable for others. This year's grain production is insufficient, and there is not enough food to eat. How can there be excess grain to make wine.

However, this problem is extremely difficult for others, but for me it is just as easy as waving my hand.

I borrowed grains a few days ago and planted five kinds of grains: corn, sorghum, soybeans, mung beans, and millet, one acre each, and half an acre of wheat, which will be harvested soon.

Wang Bin still has to wait for this batch of goods to be received before planting all the space. The remaining grain can be used to make wine.

After all, it only takes a week for the second crop of grain to be harvested. By then, more than 40 acres of land will be enough to harvest tens of thousands of kilograms of grain.

Then food freedom will be achieved.

Wang Bin asked: "If I can get you 1000 kilograms of sorghum and sweet potatoes, are you really willing to teach me the Erguotou method?"

"Of course." Chen Xiuli said, "Do you think what we sell is from the brigade?"

Then he felt that he had let something slip, so he warned, "Don't go around making noises."

Wang Bin smiled and nodded, then promised not to talk nonsense.

As the saying goes, people who rely on mountains and rivers rely on water to survive. Chen Xiuli's family relied on the craft of brewing wine to make a living.

Normally, the production team should give some grain, make wine, and then sell the wine, and the money should be handed over to the production team.

During this process, if Chen Xiuli's family could get some food, the extra wine would be theirs after it was sold through that stall.

This part of the money does not need to be handed over, which is equivalent to doing business in a hidden way.

This kind of thing is actually very common. I guess everyone in the brigade knew about it, but they just turned a blind eye and didn't ask anything.

After all, as long as the grain given by the brigade is brewed, the money can be collected smoothly.

Chen Xiuli's family is capable of making multiple wines, and it does not affect the team's income.

Wang Bin said: "I will send you a batch of grain in half a month, and then you will teach me how to make wine."

"Can you really get food?" Chen Xiuli didn't believe it.

"There should be no problem."

The second planting can be harvested in half a month. By then there will be enough grain for wine making, and of course some sorghum can be given to Chen Xiuli.

Chen Xiuli smiled and said: "Then I will wait for your good news, even if it is only a few hundred kilograms."

Just now I said that I wanted a thousand kilograms of grain, which was an outrage. As long as it is more than 500 kilograms of grain, it will be fine.

100 kilograms of sorghum can produce more than 60 kilograms of wine. Even if there are more than 500 kilograms of sorghum, more than 300 kilograms of wine can be brewed.

This batch is enough for my family to sell for a long time.

To be honest, the craft is not complicated, and it is easy to find someone to teach it. It just has to pay a certain price.

Wang Bin asked for a few more jars, and Chen Xiuli didn't ask for money. She just told him not to forget to send food. When the time comes, he will pay according to the market price, and there will be no shortage.

Seeing Wang Bin riding a tricycle, Chen Xiuli closed the door and sighed: "Chen Xiuli, Chen Xiuli, no one is willing to marry you anymore."

Wang Bin came to the street again and spoke to Master Chen before continuing to the market.

When Wang Bin came to the market this time, the first thing he did was to sell some radishes, and then he asked Zhang Lin whether his purchase of a house was true.

If it were true that Wang Bin would have the idea of ​​buying a house in the commune.

The Wangjiagou Brigade went out on a dirt road. It was a good winter right now, but it was already freezing. The roads were higher and lower. Although it was inconvenient to walk, we could still walk.

If it rains after it thaws, the road will be full of mud, and every household will have pigsties and huts, emitting a strange smell.

Wang Bin really wants to move out. At least the street in the commune has been paved with asphalt. It will be convenient to do business after living in the commune.

Wang Bin came quickly pushing a tricycle. When he arrived in front of the barber shop, he could see a man and a woman cutting someone's hair.

Wang Bin pushed open the door and walked in. Zhang Lin didn't even raise his head and said, "If I want my hair cut, sit aside and wait."

Wang Bin said: "Brother Dalin, look at what the house you bought looks like."

With a "bang" sound, the clipper in Zhang Lin's hand fell directly to the cement floor. Zhang Lin quickly bent down to pick it up, and then said sarcastically: "Tiezhu, you are here."
