Chapter 732 Learning to Brew
Yuan Bao told Xu Liudi his thoughts. Xu Liudi absolutely supported her daughter in doing what she wanted to do. She was so happy that Yuan Bao didn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, she took Qingyuan to the Changgong dormitory.

"Shitou, you go to the warehouse and get me two hundred kilograms of barley. Qingyuan goes to prepare water, and we're going to make wine."

Yuanbao is eager to try.Although I don’t know if I can brew fine wine according to the method in the space book, but how will I know if I don’t try it?
Soon, Shitou and Qingyuan brought everything Yuanbao wanted.

"Miss, this barley is hard to dry in the sun, why did you soak it in water again?" Qingyuan asked confused.

"You don't understand. To make this wine, we need to soak the wheat first, let it germinate, and then dry it. Then we can start making wine! Don't be stunned, come and wash the wheat with me." Yuan Bao's hand When you put it in the water, it turned red from the cold the moment you took it out.

Qingyuan felt distressed, and immediately lifted the hem of her skirt up to her waist, squatted down and began to scrub the wheat hard, and then put it into the clean water on the other side.

Waiting for it to germinate in a few days, the master and the servant were busy all morning, playing with stones. After spending a whole morning, the two hundred kilograms of barley were finally processed.

"Miss, what should we do next?" Qingyuan's nose was red from the cold.

Yuan Bao said: "Go back and wait, we will come back tomorrow morning."

"Is it okay tomorrow morning?"

"Uh-huh!"

Yuan Bao read the details written in the Cangshuge classics. After the malt is obtained, the malt particles should be ground and the malt should be completely crushed...

In the cold weather now, it is actually quite difficult to germinate crops in the water, but fortunately, Yuanbao has space. In the space, it not only has double speed, but also has spring-like weather all year round, which is very convenient for malt growth.

Yuan Bao asked Shi Shi to take the malt soaked in water back home. After nightfall, he immediately took the malt into the space and allowed it to germinate before slowly falling asleep.When she got up the next day, she took out the malt again, but now the malt was as long as her arm.

Qingyuan was frightened when she saw it, "Miss, it's only been one night and the wheat germ has grown?"

"Uh, uh uh! The quality of the wheat should be good, haha..." Yuan Bao wiped his cold sweat and quickly changed the subject, "Let's get started. With so much malt, we have to work on it all day."

Yuanbao asked Qingyuan to bring over the stone jar and wooden pestle used to make rice cakes at home, shake off the soaked malt and throw it in, grinding it bit by bit.Wait until the evening when the malt is ground.

Following the steps described in the book, Yuanbao poured hot water into the vat and soaked it overnight to release the sugar in the malt, forming the Raoshizi maltose juice mentioned in the book. Then he and Qingyuan started using a mosquito net-like cloth. , filter out several tanks full of maltose juice.

"Next, the juice needs to be boiled, and aromatic hops must be added to adjust the taste of the juice..."

Yuan Bao studied with an ancient book. Not to mention, the job of making wine is not something that ordinary people can do. The steps are complicated and there are many details. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted. Fortunately, she is more careful in her business, otherwise she would have given up her job. Maybe.

Qingyuan squatted in front of the stove to add firewood, "What is fragrant hops? Miss, I have never heard of it."

"You don't like Chinese medicine, so naturally you don't know what it is.
Humulus lupulus is an immature fruit with flowers, distributed in northern Xinjiang and other places. It has the functions of strengthening the stomach, digestion, diuresis and calming the nerves.

It's not hard to find. There's a bunch of it in the master's medicine house later. You boil the sugar juice first, and I'll go to the master and ask for the fragrant hops. "

After saying that, Yuan Bao took a basket from the kitchen and went to the medicine house without saying a word. He searched the medicine cabinet for the traditional Chinese medicine of hops and hemp, leaving no trace of it for Hua Weiwei.
