Yan family strong girl

Chapter 181 Wine Tasting
As soon as Lin Laifu lowered his head, he smelled the aroma of sweet fruit wine, and his eyes lit up like bright lights at night.

He couldn't wait to come over to look at it. The fragrant fruit wine aroma shocked him, and he couldn't help saying: "Xiao Wan, this pear can really make wine. I thought..." You are fooling me.

Yan Xiaowan heard the unfinished meaning in his words, secretly rolled her eyes a few times, and hummed very arrogantly: "Fourth Uncle, you pretend that I don't know that you treat me like a child. Look, is this pear wine real?" It's done, do you believe it now?"

Lin Laifu smiled foolishly, seeing her smug face, he raised his hand to mess up her hair mischievously: "Yes, yes, Xiaowan is the smartest. Then can I drink this pear wine directly?"

In order to allow the grapes to ferment more fully, Yan Xiaowan restrained her temper and waited for ten more days. The rich and mellow wine smell wafted from the jar, making Lin Laifu's throat slip.

Seeing his expectant expression, Yan Xiaowan smiled and took a clean spoon and bowl over to Lin Laifu, and poured out some wine for Lin Laifu: "Yes, I can, but it smells too sour, I guess this pear wine doesn't taste good enough. Why don't you taste it for yourself, fourth uncle?"

Lin Laifu grinned, and said in a cheerful tone, "That's good, I'll try it."

He held the bowl and looked at the pale yellow wine very intently. It was clear and transparent. When he sniffed it closely, he could smell the unique, elegant and pleasant aroma of pears.

Before Lin Laifu drank, he looked at Yan Xiaowan deliberately, and he lowered his head and took a sip with her encouraging eyes, his pupils widened suddenly, and his face wrinkled slightly.

At this time, the pear wine hadn't been fully fermented, nor had it been filtered and blended with sugar, wine, acid and other ingredients in the later stage.

He bitterly said to the little girl who was obviously enjoying the show: "Xiao Wan, this pear wine is so sour..."

A flash of understanding flashed in Yan Xiaowan's eyes, and she said with a smile: "I just said, this pear wine has not been fermented yet, and the sour taste is obvious."

Seeing her gloating appearance, Lin Laifu shook his head helplessly and amusedly, "You little girl deliberately read your fourth uncle's jokes, didn't you?"

Yan Xiaowan saw that the time was almost up, and reminded: "Fourth Uncle, don't talk, just feel how you feel after the sour smell disappears."

Lin Laifu nodded with a smile, and seriously felt the unique flavor of pear wine. At first, Lin Laifu felt a little weird when he first tasted the wine, but the strange feeling disappeared after a while.

The pear wine in the mouth is mellow and soft, with a mellow aroma and a little sourness. It tastes different from rice wine. It has a different taste and tastes very good.

He took another sip, his tongue had adapted to the special taste of perry wine, and he said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Wan, this perry wine tastes good."

Yan Xiaowan said in a good mood: "That's not bad? Fourth uncle, you are too easy to be satisfied. This pear wine tastes sour, and a man like you who doesn't like sour taste doesn't like it. After a few days, let's filter it Add sugar, wine, etc. into the blend, and then the taste will be applauded."

The brewing of pear wine has completed the first major step, after which the liquor has to be filtered for the second time, and then it is put into a jar boiled at high temperature, and high-grade liquor is added for the second fermentation.

She was thinking about letting Lin Laicai and Lin Shi also taste this pear wine, so that they would know what to expect, especially Lin Laicai, Yan Xiaowan had already made up her mind, and in the future the main job of selling wine would be entrusted to her who is eloquent, smart and wise. My third uncle is in charge.

The work of brewing wine is cumbersome and time-consuming. Large-scale wine making requires a lot of manpower. Fortunately, there are so many brothers in the Lin family that there is no shortage of manpower.

Lin Laifu didn't understand that within a short period of time, Yan Xiaowan had already made plans for the future. He drank all the remaining wine in the bowl, and boldly wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "Xiaowan, why are you so smart? ?”

Yan Xiaowan acted as if she couldn't hear any of his puns, and said with a cheerful smile: "Fourth Uncle, what's the matter? If the wine is sour, add sugar to it. It's so simple. Fourth Uncle, there is still some pomace in this wine. We have to filter out the pomace, and then put the wine into clean jars to continue fermentation."

Lin Laifu nodded and asked: "Is that jar boiled in boiling water like last time?"

Yan Xiaowan gave a very common example, not wanting to trigger Lin Laifu's thinking: "Well, it's like pickling sauerkraut, you can't let the jar get oily or something like that, otherwise the wine will go bad."

Lin Laifu asked by inference: "If you don't tell me, I didn't notice this detail. By the way, Xiaowan, since pears can make wine, can apples also make wine?"

He remembered that Yan Xiaowan specifically asked him to pick those big, sweet and juicy pears, so apples should be fine too, right?

Yan Xiaowan naturally knew that apples can be made into wine, but she didn't finish her words, but deliberately left Lin Laifu room to think, "I think it's okay, fourth uncle, when this place is finished, you can go to the street to buy some apples and come back. Find the method from last time and try it. If pears and apples can be made, then other fruits can also be made. After all, monkey wine is also called fruit wine, and it is made from a lot of fresh fruits."

Now Lin Laifu no longer regards "monkey wine" as a legend that a beard fooled Yan Xiaowan. He brewed pear wine by himself. That kind of fruit wine must exist, but the chance is not something ordinary people are lucky enough to come across.

He had ten taels of silver in his pocket, and the fruits were not worth much. Most of them were picked out and sold by farmers who couldn’t eat them all. Ten taels of silver was enough for him to buy a lot of fruit: “I’ll go to the street to see if there are any and Fruits that are similar to apples, buy some and come back to try.”

After weaving the cloth for a long time, Lin stopped to rest and went to the kitchen to drink water. As soon as she entered the room, she could smell the mellow and fruity wine, and she couldn't help speeding up: "Fourth, Xiao Wan, what are you doing? "

Yan Xiaowan turned her head when she heard the sound, Liu Mei crookedly smiled and said: "Mother, the pear wine is brewed, I specially poured some for you and put it in a bowl. Would you like to try it?"

Lin was dubious in her heart, she only thought that the fourth child did it to coax her daughter, but she did not expect to brew the wine.She has lived for so long and only heard about rice wine, so what kind of pear wine does it taste like?

Curious in her heart, she came to Yan Xiaowan in a few steps: "Pear wine is really brewed? Where is it? Show me."

Yan Xiaowan picked up the bowl on the stove and handed it to Mrs. Lin: "Mother, it's here. The fourth uncle tasted the first bite and said it was sour, but the second tasted it was quite good."

Seeing the clear and translucent light blue wine, Mrs. Lin couldn't help being a little surprised and sniffed it closer, and commented while tasting: "Hey, this really smells like wine. Oh, it's really sour. The smell of wine is quite strong, but It doesn’t have the spicy taste of rice wine, and it doesn’t feel so sour after a few more sips. The taste is not bad.”
