The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 407 Wine acidification

At the entrance of the wine kiln, Su Yunduo realized that he had left Su Jieting and his party far behind.

Seeing that Su Jieting and his party were still walking slowly tens of feet away, Su Yunduo couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling, and decided not to wait for Su Jieting, but to go into the wine cellar to see the situation, and to find out the reason earlier can also be at ease earlier.

"Duoduo, you have said so much, is there a way to save the wine from being sour?" Ning Zhongping, who followed all the way, asked.

"It depends on the degree of sourness of the wine and the reason for the sourness. If it is only slightly sour, there is a way to relieve it. Saved." Su Yunduo thought for a while and smiled at Ning Zhongping.

"Ah, then, wouldn't that be a waste?" Ning Zhongping felt distressed, Zhang Pingan was even more guilty and disturbed, and they both said in unison.

The wine stored in the wine kiln ranges from ten catties to hundreds of catties.

Although the wine from the wine shop has just been launched, it already has a pretty good reputation among the nobles in the capital because of its small quantity and excellent taste. What a waste.

"That's not necessarily the case." Su Yunduo only said this, but didn't continue to speak, but asked Zhang Pingan to open the wine jars he picked out one by one to check the sourness of the wine.

After some inspection, Su Yunduo knew quite well that the situation was not serious, and only one jar of it could be directly used as grape vinegar, and the others could be remedied.

Of course, for the sake of prudence, except for the jars selected by Zhang Pingan, other wines have to be sampled. However, it is too late today, and the random inspection will naturally be carried out tomorrow. Naturally, the wines that have become sour should be processed as soon as possible. appropriate.

When Su Yunduo found out that the wine was sour, he had already used his brains to figure out a solution. On this solution, he discussed with Zhang Ping'an and Ning Zhongping for about half an hour, and decided on the division of labor between them. .

When Zi Su came to invite them to have dinner in the big courtyard in front, Su Yunduo knew that the time was close to Youzheng, and the sky outside had already darkened.

After entering the wine kiln, Su Yunduo plunged into the processing of the wine, only then did she think of Su Jieting, and hurriedly looked around, but she didn't even see Su Jieting's maid.

This person won't run away angrily because he didn't wait for her.

"The girl is looking for my aunt, she saw that you were busy, so she went back to rest in the front yard early." Seeing Su Yunduo looking around, Zisu guessed that she was looking for Su Jieting and hurriedly said.

"Go to the front by yourself?" Su Yunduo was very surprised, remembering the old lady Lu and Shi's previous warning and asked again: "Did you bring wine?"

Zisu nodded and then shook her head: "I didn't see the wine, but my aunt's face looks like she just drank."

Well, this alcoholic is very restrained when she sees the wine but doesn't take it away. Can she really stop drinking when she comes to the wine cellar?
"During the girl's inspection just now, my aunt asked the slave to taste some wine for her." Seeing that Su Yunduo finally asked about Su Jieting, the young servant who followed Zhang Pingan hurried over to report.

It's okay, it's fine, as long as Su Jieting doesn't drink from the wine jar secretly, lest she have to be a detective to find out which jar of wine Su Jieting secretly drank.

When the group returned to the resting yard in front, they saw Su Jieting's face was glowing red. They didn't know whether it was because she was still drinking too little or just had a drink. Anyway, it seemed that she had drunk a little too much.

Fortunately, it was only a little higher, and it was still able to hold it at this moment, and there was no gaffe. Seeing Su Yunduo coming over, he asked carefully about the condition of the wine.

Su Yunduo would not go into details with her, but only said that the problem was not serious, and it could be dealt with around noon tomorrow, and she could return to the city the day after tomorrow at the latest.

"Don't rush, don't rush, work slowly and carefully. This Zhuangzi has a beautiful scenery, and you can't defend yourself if you stay for two more days." Su Jieting looked at Su Yunduo with a smile, as if she was very satisfied with Su Yunduo.

What kind of scenery can there be in Zhuangzi in late autumn? The rice in the field has been harvested and put into storage, and the field has just been plowed, revealing the dark soil. What kind of scenery is this?
Su Yunduo knew that she was drinking a little too much, so she would not argue with her, but followed her and said: "My aunt likes this place, and I can live here for a few more days. It's just that the conditions in the village are rough, and my niece and daughter are afraid I wronged my aunt."

Su Jieting burped, as if she was startled by the belch, she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "No wrong, no wrong, as long as my niece can give me an extra glass of wine, I will be happy Like a fairy."

Well, this man really drank a little too much.

After finally coaxing Su Jieting to eat some dinner, and then coaxing her to rest, Su Yunduo came to the winery.

At this time, Zhang Ping'an and Ning Zhongping, who split up after a hasty dinner, had already set up a few large stoves near the water diversion pool outside the warehouse of the winery. pot.

"So the acid can be removed by boiling water?" Ning Zhongping looked at the water in the big iron pot with some concern and asked.

Su Yunduo kept an eye on the temperature in the iron, and instructed Zisu and Zhang Pingan to increase or decrease the firewood, while explaining to everyone: "As long as the wine is heated to a slightly hot level, you can kill those who make the wine rancid. Microscopic organisms, thereby prolonging the storage period of wine.

Of course, it is necessary to add snowflake sugar appropriately according to the acidity of the wine, and the temperature should not be high.

Another advantage of this steamed wine is that it will become more mellow and more intoxicating. "

After the iron pot is set up, only a few people Su Yunduo trusts stay here, such as Zhang Ping'an, such as Zisu, Su Yunduo will never hide anything.

The wine acidification method used by Su Yunduo is pasteurization.

The so-called pasteurization method is low temperature sterilization without destroying the substance.

"What do you need to pay attention to after cooking the wine?" Today's experience touched Zhang Pingan very much. Although Su Yunduo was younger than him, he knew more and handled things more calmly, which made him even more Hungry to learn more.

"After the wine cools down, it can be sealed and refrigerated like ordinary wine." Su Yunduo slightly nodded at Zhang Ping'an.

Zhang Pingan also asked Su Yunduo some questions about wine making, storage and usage, and Su Yunduo thought he could explain clearly and answered them one by one.

For some questions that even she herself feels uncertain, several people are talking here and discussing them in full swing.

Although they were very involved in the discussion, their voices were kept very low. At the same time, they had to pay attention to the heat of the cooking, but they didn't find Lu Jinkang's master and servant who came from the city in time.
