Chapter 53 Preparation for Brewing (2)
"Well, let's put it in the hall, and carry the urn in. You go to the firewood shed to find the sealed thing. I'll go see Xiao Si boil the water."

"Okay." The father and daughter have a clear division of labor.

When Miao Da came to the kitchen, he saw that Xiao Si was doing well. The water in the pot was burning, and the firewood was also very strong.He smiled approvingly.

This afternoon is very busy, Miao Da, Xiao Cao, and Xiao Si are all busy.

Miao Da cleared and cleaned the sorghum, put it into urns, and covered them.Before making sorghum wine, it needs to be soaked in cold water for at least one day and one night.There is no need to worry about sorghum.Xiaocao moved the glutinous rice into the hall next to the well. Miao Da measured it with a liter and poured fifteen liters of glutinous rice into the urn.

Xiaosi came and said that the water was boiling, Xiaocao brought in the boiling water together with him, Miao Da held a big wooden stick in his hand, asked Xiaocao and Xiaosi to pour the water into the urn slowly, and he stirred vigorously with the stick After one bucket was emptied, another bucket was brought up, and a large urn was filled with a large pot of water.Seeing that the water was almost there, Miao Da took wheat koji and added it in, let the grass blend evenly, and after blending, covered the mouth of the jar with oilcloth paper, and wrapped the jar with straw and old clothes.

"Little Cao Niang, there are less than four liters left, so I'll keep it for sweet bars." Miao Da brought the glutinous rice washed by Xiao Cao into the kitchen, and said to Xiao Cao Niang who was warming up under the stove.

"Well, it's not bad for Tianliang to make some sweet wine. Do you have any more wine?"

Miao Da scooped some of the remaining boiling water into the pot to soak the glutinous rice, and mixed it with a spatula.

"Yes, I'll keep it, Xiaocao, you can get it, it's in the second compartment of the five-drawer cabinet in my room, it's in a small box." Miao Da said.

"Okay, it's nice to have sweet wine." Xiaocao likes this kind of raw food, without any preservatives, absolutely 100% authentic green food.

This sweet wine is distiller's grains, which are steamed and fermented with glutinous rice.

"Xiao Cao, go and cut some brown leaves, and Xiao Si, put a big firewood in the pot to boil water, and I'll wash the steamer'; steam glutinous rice." Under Miao Da's command, the three of them were busy in an orderly manner.

Miao Da first boiled some water less, and when the water boiled, he put it in a bucket and put it outside to cool.Then fill the pot with water and bring to a boil.Put the green palm leaves into the steamer after the seedlings have been washed, and then put the glutinous rice in it.Put it back in the pot, and the water will cover the bottom of the steamer.

Miao Da and Xiao Cao Niang were steaming rice in the kitchen.

Xiaocao and Xiaosi are collecting things outside to dry.

The family of four was so busy that they were nestled in the kitchen, and there was a burst of aroma from the steamer, including the aroma of brown leaves and glutinous rice.

After steaming, it was about the same time. Miao Da poured cold water around the steamer, put the steamer up again, let it cool for a while, opened the lid of the steamer, the smell of glutinous rice overflowed, and the kitchen was filled with dense mist.

Miao Da made a rice ball for Xiaocao Niang, Xiaocao wanted to make it herself, so she scooped some up with a shovel, put some of the leftovers on the rice ball, made some rice and put it on top, and squeezed it tightly , Only then began to eat with relish.

"Xiao Si, you can do what you want yourself." Miao shouted, and Xiao Si, who was watching from the side, did it himself.Xiaocao thought that Daddy really didn't treat him as an outsider.

Xiao Si just brought a bowl, shoveled some into the bowl with a spatula, and then ate it with chopsticks.

Miao Da pinched a rice ball and ate it with sugar.

"I'm so full." Xiaocao ate a big rice ball and drank another glass of water, so satisfied.

"I'm full too." Xiao Si's appetite seems to have been small all along.

"Father, I don't think we need to cook much tonight, and he and I won't eat any more." Xiaocao glanced at Xiaosi, but couldn't understand his smiling face about everything.
