Raise a House of Obsession - Chapter 170
After returning to the Xisuo, Zhou Yi resumed his usual life. There are also several mental patients with split personality in the West Institute, and he is quite interested in this disease.
On the other hand, Zhou Yi is preparing materials to brew the first cylinder of liquor in life. According to the book’s records, its name is “Like the Dead”.
As the name suggests, time is like this rushing river, constantly passing by, and time is gone forever.
Drinking this kind of wine can make people feel the passage of time.
It is a supernatural wonder.
Of course, this type of liquor requires different materials. In addition to a special type of yeast, it also needs centenarian hair as a “primer.”
The life experience of this centenarian, the richer the better, the more bumpy the better, but he must retain a heart of innocence.
A hundred years old, bumpy, innocent heart, these requirements added together, is a very rare thing, the entire Daxia Alliance can not find a few.
The old lady Sun Lihan happened to be one of them.
A 103-year-old girl.
A handful of her hair was obtained by Zhou Yi and counted, twelve in total.
“You want to make wine…your kid knows how to make wine? Tsk tsk, so will my old Li!” Old comrade Li Xianfeng hurried over after learning the news.
It is unprecedented that there is no ridicule, but most of them are curious. Winemaking is a kind of belief.
“I got a secret recipe. I’m still idle anyway. I might as well try it. Maybe this recipe works.” Zhou Yi smiled.
“What’s the secret recipe?”
“The deceased is like a spouse, not giving up day and night!” Zhou Yi said shook his head, “This is the feeling of the saint.”
“Welcome… let me join hands too!” After drinking for so long, Lao Li has naturally brewed it himself and has a wealth of experience in the industry.
Zhou Yi did not object, and agreed with a smile.
After all, the most important thing about the “deceased” is Jiuqu and Jiu Yin. The yeast in Jiu Koji comes from the booklet given by Shiban, and Jiu Yin has a centenarian’s hair that meets the standard.
No one else has these two things at all. It is even more impossible to steal the teacher.
The first is the production of distiller’s yeast, rice, polygonum sylvestris, lentil leaves, bamboo leaves, field grass, orange leaves, cinnamon leaves… These materials are chopped and mixed together to form small **** the size of pebbles.
Each small ball is coated with a special yeast solution, and then placed in a place with a suitable temperature, covered with rice bran or dried straw, and the small **** are evenly placed on the rice bran or straw, and they are slowly fermented.
After two days of fermentation, the koji is finished.
“Well… the season is just right now, and the temperature is right.”
Although it was the first time to make koji, Zhou Yi knew that the koji was completed and its quality was quite high when he saw the white silk on the small balls.
“It’s so fragrant… the taste of rice wine.” Li Xianfeng, a person who knows the goods, opened his eyes and said, “You have a mediocre production method and no special materials, but why is it so fragrant? I see, you Yeast powder is not ordinary, can you even mix this distiller’s yeast for me?”
“No!” Zhou Yi said: “But for the brewed wine, I can ask you to have a drink. For the sake of your help, it is fine to give you another one or two catties.”
Li Xianfeng grinned, don’t give it if you don’t give it. After all, the production of Jiuqu is a secret recipe passed down by many brewers. It’s good to drink with wine. “Is one or two catties too little?”
“A lot, a lot!”
There are just a few merchants in the town that sell family liquor. Li Xianfeng is a regular customer, and everyone knows each other.
Zhou Yi discussed with the middle-aged man for a while and spent three hundred yuan to rent a full set of production tools for a few days.
Then, Fu Lintao and Wu Zhenyu were also called in, and they were responsible for the strikes.
The brewing materials are actually quite ordinary, and they can be bought in towns. The sorghum with full and large grains is preferred, and the sorghum should be crushed with 6~8 petals. This is done to facilitate the steaming.
Add some rice husks to the sorghum, add a proper 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 it on high heat for more than an hour. The steamed material should be cooked, just twist it with your hands without pinching it.
Finally, the steamed sorghum is mixed with the koji in proportion, and a certain amount of water is added. After mixing, it is put into the wine cellar for fermentation. The indoor temperature for fermentation should be about 20 degrees.
The fermentation time is about 10 days.
At this time, the fragrance is almost absent, but “the dead like this” has already demonstrated its extraordinary power.
Comrade Fu Lintao, who was responsible for stirring the fermentation liquid, suddenly had a mental breakdown, crying and wanted to go to his grandma’s grave to worship.
“My grandma, why did you go…” Fu Lintao cried bitterly, claiming to think of grandma.
It made Li Xianfeng look dumbfounded. This guy’s grandmother has been dead for more than ten years, right?
What’s going crazy suddenly?
Wu Zhenyu was also scratching his scalp, thinking of his dead grandfather, tears streaming down.
Only Zhou Yi faintly guessed what happened. He sighed. It seems that if he has his own home in the future, he still has to buy a full set of wine-making tools and do all the work by himself. Problems may arise when renting other people’s equipment.
After the fermentation was completed, one step after 10 days was distillation. As 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 like Li Xianfeng, which was not impossible.
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-notch wine. But in general, I don’t dare to drink it.”
“I’ll give you two pounds, is that enough?”
“Enough is enough~www.mtlnovel.com~ Definitely enough.”
The last step is cellaring. The brewed liquor has to go through cellaring to have a full-bodied taste. The taste of the new wine is really washed out.
“The dead 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 encapsulated them into many jars. There was no place to store wine in Xisuo, so he rented a truck and transported them to the master’s house, where they were hidden in the cellar. In the foreseeable future, the master should live in seclusion in the small town.
Ye Tiansheng is also a good wine person, especially Li Xianfeng said, this is a good wine, and there will be no objections.
“An old wine of a hundred years… I don’t know if I can drink it.” Zhou Yi sighed. After a hundred years, he was 121 years old. He may have become a loess, and may still be alive, but most of the people are still alive. It must be gone.
This is exactly the true meaning of “the dead like this”.
