Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 28

The old servant turned around and left, Young Master Yan smiled at Su Bai and said, "Brother Su, I will depend on you for the rest, if you have any orders, just say it!"

Su Bai pondered for a moment, and said: "While the equipment problem is solved, we also need to make preparations here, such as making koji. Fortunately, we are also making wine before our workshop. The koji is already there. There is no difference, just use it as usual. .Then there is the preparation of sorghum as the raw material. I plan to use sorghum to make wine, so the raw material must be properly prepared.”

Mr. Yan and Lao Yutou had never heard of using sorghum to make wine before, and they were a little skeptical, but seeing Su Bai's confident appearance, they didn't object. Mr. Yan smiled and said: "No problem, I will let someone prepare it later. good."

Su Bai thought for a while, and said: "Before the equipment is ready, the fermentation process can be carried out first. The sorghum is cooked, made into sorghum rice, mixed with koji, and fermented for about ten days. It's ready, I don't need to go into details about the fermentation, the masters all know, just replace your usual grains with sorghum."

All the workers nodded. Judging from Su Bai's narration, there seems to be no novel brewing method. Could it be that the secret lies in the new equipment mentioned?

In the next few days, Su Bai would run to the brewery at dawn, and only return after dark, and sometimes he would not go back. Mu Zimin looked for him several times, but he never came across him. Knowing that Su Bai didn't know what he was busy with these days, this made Mu Zimin very depressed: This trip is really random enough to be a slave!

Five days later, the old servant finally got the equipment that Su Bai wanted. Su Bai didn't expect the speed to be quite fast. After seeing it, he was generally satisfied. There were still some flaws, Su Bai immediately shook his head, negated the unqualified equipment, and made it again.

Finally, after ten days, Su Bai felt that the equipment could be used. As for the effect, it still needs to look at the quality of the distilled wine to decide.

The fermentation over there was also finished two days later. Under Su Bai's instructions, the workers poured the fermented sorghum rice into the still pot and started distillation.

At this time, Mr. Yan, Lao Yutou and others were all there, and they all looked at the steamer-like thing curiously. There was a bamboo conduit next to it, and a wooden barrel was attached to it. flow from here?"

Su Bai smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Just wait and see."

After waiting for a while, everyone saw a little water dripping out of the bamboo tube, slowly turning into a trickle, accompanied by the strong aroma of wine, the room was filled with the aroma of wine for a while.

"Good wine! It really is good wine!" Old Yutou's eyes were shining, he kept rubbing his rough palms, and watched eagerly. After a lot of wine had accumulated in the barrel, the worker changed a barrel and poured it into the barrel. Bringing the wine, he said with a smile, "Boss, try it first. How is this wine?"

His face was also full of red light. No matter what, he brewed this wine. Although he hadn't drunk it yet, just by smelling it, it was by no means an ordinary wine!
Several people took the porcelain bowl, poured the sorghum wine, and tasted it carefully. Su Bai was actually a little nervous, not knowing how the distilled wine was.

As a result, after entering the mouth, the first thing he felt was a miscellaneous smell of sorghum, which was relatively strong. After entering his throat, it was a spicy stimulus, like a fire, along his throat, across the esophagus, and into his stomach. He felt his entire lower abdomen All hot and spicy.

Old Yutou next to him drank a bowl of wine, let out a long breath, his face flushed instantly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gasped and said, "That's strong! Enough taste! This is definitely the most powerful wine in the world!"

After finishing his drink, Mr. Yan thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "It is absolutely right to say that the world's most strong wine is like swallowing a mouthful of fire, but... the stimulation is stimulating, but such a strong wine also affects people's health. The taste of the wine, unless you are the kind of person who loves spirits, I'm afraid you won't like it too much."

There is one more thing he didn't say, that is, there are a lot of miscellaneous flavors in this wine, which quite affect the taste, but it's hard to tell it directly in front of Su Bai, and he also knows that Su Bai has drunk wine, so it should be I know there is a smell in the wine.

Su Bai nodded, and said: "Young Master Yan is right, but it doesn't have any effect. The wine that comes out first is called the 'wine head', the strongest! The taste is much stronger, and the wine that comes out later It will be better, and the wine that flows out later also needs to be blended with water, which can effectively remove the miscellaneous taste and satisfy different people's tastes."

"In addition to these, the wine obtained by fermenting sorghum rice once is called the 'first wine'. The remaining sorghum rice residue needs to be mixed with distiller's yeast for fermentation. After ten days of fermentation, it is then distilled. Uh... Distillation is the process of producing wine, and the wine that comes out at that time is the wine we really need, no matter in terms of taste or strength, it is not comparable to this 'first wine'."

"So that's how it is. The method of making wine is called distillation? Sure enough, it's unheard of. Brother Su opened my eyes today! It's just that after drinking this 'first wine', I thought that there are better wines waiting for me. In a hurry, I still have to wait for more than ten days, brother Su, is there any quick way?"

Old Yutou shook his head, and said, "My boss is a meticulous person. For ordinary people like us, this 'first wine' is enough!"

Su Bai also shook his head and said: "If you want to get good things, there is a necessary process. Haste makes waste! Moreover, even if it is re-distilled wine, if you really want to drink a mellow taste, you need at least Stored in the wine cellar for six months, this is also a wine that needs to be aged, the longer the time, the more mellow the taste!"

Old Yutou was stunned to himself, he also made wine, but he didn't expect that wine making would need to be so complicated and troublesome?Still need so long?

Mr. Yan is thinking seriously. He has already understood that the complexity of the brewing and the length of storage later can separate wines of different standards. Naturally, the different standards cannot be used at the same price. For example, Lao Yutou, if the wine is too good, he might not be able to drink it. This "first wine" is already good enough, as long as the price is a little cheaper, it is the best choice.

And like what Su Bai said, the wine that needs to be stored in the cellar for more than six months is definitely much more expensive. This kind of wine needs to be sold to the rich and powerful families, and only people like them buy it. If you can afford this kind of wine, how to price it requires a professional person to evaluate it. He is not a professional...

These thoughts quickly turned in Mr. Yan's mind, he said with a smile: "Brother Su, this wine has been brewed, and our business has really started! But this wine can't have a name, right?"

Su Bai wasn't very good at naming names, so he touched his nose and said, "What do you guys think is a good name for this wine?"

Young Master Yan raised his eyebrows, although he thought it was better to be named Su Baiqi, but Su Bai had already said that, so he couldn't say much.

Old Yu bowed his head and frowned, thinking hard, but as an ordinary person, he didn't know many words, so he could come up with a good name, and he said after a long time: "This wine is so strong, why not call it 'Old Liquor'?"

The corners of Su Bai's mouth twitched slightly. What's the name... Mr. Yan didn't speak, obviously disapproving, and those workers were not good at naming names, besides, they knew which round they would get to speak!

Seeing this, Su Bai knew that he had to do it by himself in the end. He thought about it, but he really didn't have any talent, and suddenly he had an idea, why did he put so much effort into it? Isn't there something ready-made!
Su Bai said: "Then I think this wine should be called 'burning knife'!"

"Shaodaozi" is originally a strong sorghum liquor, and even has the title of China's No. [-] liquor, so it is appropriate to use it here.

Young Master Yan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he couldn't help nodding and said: "Yes, this name is very appropriate. When I was drinking just now, it was as if what I drank was not wine, but a red-hot knife. Isn't it the feeling of 'burning a knife'!"

Young Master Yan looked at Su Bai amusedly, as if to say, you have already thought of a name, why are you asking us?
Old Yutou said the name "Shaodaozi" twice, and he also thought it was good, and agreed: "It is indeed a good name. Although it is simple, it fully expresses the characteristics of our wine. Su Dong's family has a good name Well!"

Su Bai touched his nose with some embarrassment, and smiled noncommittally. Can he say that he plagiarized...

The wine has been brewed, and the rest is business. Su Bai has left it to Mr. Yan to do it. As for the brewing and distillation process, he is not yet proficient. He will discuss it with the workers. Improvements, etc., can be changed little by little in the subsequent brewing process. After all, the principle of distillation is very simple. Workers may not understand the technical terms such as vaporization, liquefaction, and boiling point, but as long as they have a general understanding of what is going on, they can OK.

The most important thing is that Su Bai finally doesn't have to worry about the wine he used to practice!If you don't care about the quality of the taste, this "first wine" is enough, and the alcohol content is high enough, but it may be too high, Su Bai thinks it may be more than [-]%!For his own health, Su Bai thinks it is better not to drink such strong alcohol.

Finally, Su Bai said: "Young Master Yan, I will leave the rest to you. I will not worry about what to do with the 'first wine', but...you know that we are all good wine People, look..."

Young Master Yan laughed: "Brother Su, don't worry, even if there is not enough to sell, we must have enough to drink ourselves!"

Su Bai nodded in satisfaction, and left with a jar of wine.
