I dug a good hole in my previous life

In the days that followed, Lin Chuan often took the little Jiupai dog to Grandpa Wu's house to chat with him and help him with some work.When you go, bring some sauerkraut, salted duck eggs and so on.

Lin Chuan is pretty, has a sweet mouth, and is diligent. He can always make the old man smile.And the old man was very happy to see that the child always came to chat with him.When people get old, they are most afraid of being alone. When a child comes to play, the house is much more lively, so he likes Lin Chuan more and more.Every time Lin Chuan went, he entertained Lin Chuan with all kinds of delicious food sent by his son and girl, and brought him a lot of things when he left, treating him like his own grandson.

During the chat, the old man was very emotional: "The most proud thing in my life is to support my two children to finish college. How many people can support my children to finish college these days? Either the family is poor and cannot afford it. Either the children are not up to date. My wife didn’t live up to it. I am both a father and a mother, and the children are sensible. I rely on the secret recipe of wine making from my ancestors, and I sell wine while farming, so that the two children do not drop out of school. "

The old man was quite proud when he said this, "Now they all eat at the public house, got married, bought a house in the city, and they are living well, and now they send me money every month. No one in the village I'm envious of my good sons and daughters. It's just that the craft of brewing wine is about to be lost, and none of my sons and daughters are willing to learn it." After speaking, he sighed heavily.

As soon as Lin Chuan heard that there was a door, he hurriedly followed the old man and said, "Wouldn't it be a pity if such a good wine-making technique is lost, and no one will be able to drink such delicious wine again. Alas! If I were your grandson How great it would be to be able to learn this craft from you, carry it forward, and let everyone know that this is a good wine made by Grandpa Wu, and I will always remember you." After speaking, he imitated the old man and sighed heavily, as if It is a pity that this skill is lost.

The old man thought about it, although this child is not his own grandson, but recently he comes here often, brings him food and eggs, and often chats with him, just like his own grandson.The child looks good, looks real, sensible, and has no bad intentions.Besides, the child doesn't even have a family member, so life must be difficult.And his own craftsmanship, is it really going to be brought into the coffin?Might as well pass it on to him.

These thoughts turned in my mind for a few times before I said: "I think you are a good kid, but you are also pitiful. You have no relatives at such a young age. If you really want to learn this wine-making technique, grandpa can pass it on to you, and you can do it in the future." a trade for a living so that you will not starve.”

When he heard that the old man was willing to pass on his craft, Lin Chuan was overjoyed, "That's great! Thank you, Grandpa! I'm willing to learn from you."

In this way, Lin Chuan went to the old man's house to learn wine making from him during school and weekends.

Xiaguo is the birthplace of wine culture and has a long history.There are two types of ancient wine: one is the wine made from fruits and grains, and the other is distilled wine.Colored wine originated in ancient times. According to "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", wine originated in ancient times and the Shennong era. "Shiben Eight Kinds" (updated version) Chen Qirong said: "Yidi started to make, wine mash, changed to five flavors, Shaokang (one is Dukang) made fodder wine." Both Yidi and Shaokang were from the Xia Dynasty, that is, wine began to exist in the Xia Dynasty.

Since Xia, in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, through the Qin and Han Dynasties, and even in the Tang and Song Dynasties, they all use fruit and grain to cook, add koji to ferment, squeeze and then make wine. Gang, drink is fruit wine or rice wine.

Slowly, the brewing process has also been further improved, changing from the original cooking, koji fermentation, and pressing to steaming, koji fermentation, and distillation. The biggest breakthrough is the purification of alcohol.For thousands of years, the wine-making culture of Xia State has branched and diverged in the historical changes, so that many famous wines with more local characteristics and better reflection of local customs have been brewed. The wine rituals and customs of different regions and nationalities , all without exception have constructed a broad and deep ancient country of famous wine.

Before learning, Grandpa Wu first gave Lin Chuan a general knowledge about wine and its classification, but the old man’s ancestral wine-making technology is not that complicated. Simply put, he can only make white wine, rice wine, rice wine, and wine. only these.

Lin Chuan learned wine making purely because he developed a habit: he grows everything he can grow, such as various grains, fruits and vegetables; he raises everything he can raise, such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep; Just make it yourself, such as fried peanuts and sunflower seeds that I usually make for Xiaojiu.But I became interested in learning and learning, which definitely originated from a martial arts novel.

That day when he went to deliver food to Zhou Qi's grandfather, he accidentally found a martial arts novel lying in a corner of his house.It is "Swordsman" written by Mr. Jin Yong.He also has too much time to do nothing. After all, there is more time in the shadow than in the outside world, and a child is not likely to be long-term. It is impossible to expect him to study and practice all the time.He greeted Grandpa Zhou and took the book home to read.

It's easy to talk about other things, when you read the paragraph: Linghu Chong is good at wine, Zu Qianqiu discussed with him about drinking in order to trick him into drinking the tonic, only that "drinking must pay attention to wine utensils, what kind of wine you drink What kind of wine glass to use" made him feel that he had benefited a lot and enjoyed it, and there was a kind of heroism in the true nature of a man who is just like this!He also read and read this description of wine utensils, and even remembered clearly: Jade cups should be used when drinking Fen wine. Li Bai has a poem: "A jade bowl brings amber light." It can be seen that jade bowls and jade cups can enhance the color of wine.

Drinking white wine outside the customs is served in a rhinoceros horn cup, and drinking it is extremely mellow. It should be noted that a rhinoceros horn cup can increase the aroma of the wine.

When drinking wine, you should use a luminous cup. The ancients said in a poem: "Grape wine is luminous cup, and if you want to drink the pipa, immediately call it." Grape wine is bright red. .Yue Wumu's words say: "The ambition eats the meat of the barbarians hungry, and laughs and talks about drinking the blood of the Huns thirsty." Magnificent!nice!

Fine sorghum wine is the oldest wine, and it must be drunk with a bronze wine bar before it has an ancient flavor.

Although the taste of rice wine is delicious, it loses its sweetness and is a little weak. When drinking it with a big bucket, it will show its spirit.

Baicao wine is collected from hundreds of herbs and soaked in fine wine, so the wine smells fragrant, like walking in the suburbs of spring, making people drunk before drinking.To drink Baicao wine, you must use an ancient rattan cup, which is carved from a hundred-year-old rattan. Drinking Baicao wine will greatly increase the aroma.

Shaoxing number one scholar red beard with ancient porcelain cup.The best ones are Northern Song porcelain cups. The Southern Song porcelain cups are barely usable, but they are already in decline. As for Yuan porcelain, they are unavoidably vulgar.

When drinking pear blossom wine, you should use an emerald cup. Bai Letian's Hangzhou Chunwang poem says: "Red sleeves weave silk to praise persimmon leaves, and green flags sell wine to take advantage of pear blossoms." The pear blossom wine is extraordinarily energetic, and it is natural to drink pear blossom wine with an emerald cup.

Yulu wine should be used in glass cups. The jade dew wine has fine bubbles like pearls. Only when drinking in transparent glass cups can you see its beauty.

Lin Chuan watched it over and over again, wishing to discuss it with others immediately, so as to show his unrestrained and domineering, in other words: man is a real man!

In the end, I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I went to Zhou Qi's house in the city. Using the topic that I was learning how to brew wine with Grandpa Wu, I brought out the need to pay attention to drinking utensils, and then I really showed off what I knew and learned.Zhou Qi was dumbfounded when he heard it, and gave Lin Chuan one look after another with envious eyes of "you are so talented".This satisfied his vanity unprecedentedly. He went to the bookstore when he went out, and bought some books such as Tang Poetry and Song Ci and came back. Good company to return home. (Wen Guanjun received Henan and Hebei)

Tonight, enjoy less pleasure, sit up and open your respect.Raise the cup and drink the wine first, and drive away my worries. (drinking)

The two of them are talking about each other, cup after cup.I'm drunk and sleepy and go, go to your mother (Huh, it seems that something strange has mixed in?). (Drinking with Youren in the mountains)

To be happy in life is to be happy, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon.I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone.Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. (will be drinking)

Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Immortals in Peach Blossom Temple.The Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money.If you are sober, you only sit in front of the flowers; when you are drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers.Half drunk and half awake day after day, flowers bloom year after year.I hope that I will die of old age in the wine room, and I don't want to bow before the chariots and horses.The car dust and horses are enough to show people's affairs, and the wine deciduous flower branches are destined for hermits.If you compare the obvious to the hermit, one is on the ground and the other is on the sky.If flowers and wine are compared to chariots and horses, why should we be idle?Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through.There are no tombs of heroes in the five tombs, no flowers and no wine to hoe the fields. (Peach Blossom Poem)

……

Because of these foreshadowing, he also worked very hard in learning wine making. Not only did he choose good grain and grapes, but he also used well water mixed with spiritual spring water. He kept every step in mind, so he was afraid of making mistakes. At 01:30, the taste of the wine was slightly worse.Coupled with Grandpa Wu's experience, it is difficult for Lin Chuan to think about success.

During the summer vacation, Lin Chuan finally brewed the first barrel of rice wine in his life.He poured a bowl of brewed wine to Grandpa Wu, then looked at him nervously.

The old man took a sip, smashed his mouth, nodded and said: "That's right, the rice wine you brew is actually better than mine. You little brat is a little bit good, and you are a good seed to learn how to make wine."

Lin Chuan knew that this had a lot to do with the grain and well water he used to make wine. If he said that his level was definitely not as good as Grandpa Wu, after all, his wine making experience was still relatively inexperienced.

"From then on, grandpa will drink the wine I brew, and I will brew wine for grandpa for the rest of his life." Lin Chuan said sincerely.

"You little monkey, you will please grandpa!" The old man laughed after he finished speaking.

Lin Chuan did what he said, and the old man really drank the wine he brewed all his life, but later Lin Chuan learned to brew medicinal wine, and added precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum to the old man.Because of this, the old man lived for more than 100 years without disease and disaster before he died.

After that, Lin Chuan brewed wine, rice wine, and white wine one after another. The taste was very good, and the old man was full of praise.But he is still young now, so he doesn't drink much by himself, at most, he will drink half a bowl of rice wine or half a glass of wine with Xiao Jiu when he encounters a major festival.Anyway, those alcohol content is low, not intoxicating.

Too much wine has become a problem. Lin Chuan went to the porcelain factory in the city to order some large and small wine jars, and even bought a few wine tanks.After that, I packed a few jars of wine, sealed them with mud, and buried them under the fruit trees behind the house. I wanted to dig them out and drink them after a few years to see if they would taste better.

The author has something to say:

Come on, let me popularize the types of wine for everyone. Those who are interested can take a look, and those who are not interested can skip it.

Divided into three categories according to raw materials:

Grain wine: wine produced with grain as the main raw material.For example, sorghum wine, glutinous rice wine, grain wine, etc.; fruit wine: wine produced with fruits as raw materials, such as wine, cider, pear wine, etc.; food substitute wine: raw materials other than grain and fruit, such as wild plant starch raw materials Or the wine produced from sugar-containing raw materials is customarily called grain substitute wine.For example, wine produced from dried potatoes, cassava, banana taro, and molasses.

According to the characteristics of the production process, it is also divided into three categories:

Fermented wine: an alcoholic beverage produced by fermenting grains, fruit juice, etc., and storing in a container for a certain period of time.The alcohol content of this kind of wine is generally not high, generally no more than ten percent.This type of wine mainly includes beer, wine and rice wine.

Distilled wine: highly distilled liquor obtained by distillation of original wine or fermented mash and fermented grains.Such as liquor, as well as brandy, whiskey, vodka, rum, etc.; formulated wine: it is based on brewed wine, distilled wine or edible alcohol, added various natural or artificial raw materials, and processed by a specific process. Color, aroma and taste type blended wine.Such as champagne, sparkling wine and medicinal wine, tonic wine, etc.

According to the characteristics of the product, it can be divided into six categories: liquor, rice wine, fruit wine, beer, medicinal wine and mixed wine.

Liquor: Liquor is generally made of wheat, sorghum, corn and other raw materials through four processes of crushing, fermentation, distillation and aging. This type of wine has a higher alcohol content because it has been purified through distillation.

Yellow rice wine: It is made from glutinous rice, millet and rice, fermented and pressed through wine medicine and koji.The wine is mellow, suitable for long-term storage, and has the characteristics of getting better and better with age. It is a low-level fermented original juice wine.The alcohol content is generally between 8 and 20 degrees.

Rice wine: It is mainly made of rice and glutinous rice, which are mixed and fermented with koji.Rice wine uses sweet wine fermented koji, which contains less alcohol.

Wine: choose white grapes or wine grapes with light red skins, separate the juice from the skins, and ferment the juices to make white wine; or choose wine grapes with red skins and white or red skins, and use skin juices to mix and ferment. It is then separated to make red wine.
