Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 369 Vinegar Workshop
Su Ziling contacted a well-known local vinegar workshop. The owner of the workshop greeted him at the door early when he heard that it was God of Cooking.

After getting out of the carriage, I saw the owner of the workshop looking at Su Ziling with a smile: "It's a great honor for the Master Chef to be here."

"Boss Jin is polite." Su Ziling said, "Today I want to visit your workshop and see if there is any good vinegar that can be supplied to Yunlaiju."

When Boss Jin heard that he could supply the famous Yunlaiju, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Su, please come in, please come in." Boss Jin said with a smile.

Boss Jin welcomed everyone into the main hall. After drinking a few sips of tea, Su Ziling proposed to visit the workshop, and Boss Jin was overjoyed.

"It's really flattering for Master Chef to visit my workshop!" Boss Jin said.

Before entering the workshop, Mi Xiaoye smelled a faint smell of vinegar at the door.The closer you go, the more intense it becomes.

Li Yu was a little uncomfortable with the sour smell and kept sneezing.

"Li Yu, you'd better not go in, go to the front hall to have tea and snacks." Mi Xiaoye said.

Li Yu sniffed, and originally wanted to go in with her, but she really couldn't bear the pungent acetic acid smell.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you, take your time." Li Yu said.

The three of them followed Boss Jin into the workshop, and as soon as they entered, a strong smell hit their nostrils.Mi Xiaoye also felt that her nose was itchy, so she kept sucking.

"This is our vinegar workshop, what do you think?" Boss Jin smiled.

Although Mi Xiaoye knows about vinegar, this is the first time she has come to the workshop to see how vinegar is made.

Mi Xiaoye asked: "Boss Jin, what do we usually use to make vinegar at home?"

Boss Jin said with a smile: "The north and the south are also different. The north mainly uses sorghum and millet, the central plains mainly uses wheat, and here we mainly use glutinous rice and rice."

"Actually, those fruits can also be made into vinegar, isn't it fruit vinegar?" Mi Xiaoye said.

Boss Jin was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Young lady, you mean to use fruit to make vinegar?"

Mi Xiaoye nodded and said, "Since fruits can be made into wine, such as wine, they can also be made into vinegar. Like the above, Ringo, pears, peaches, and persimmons can all be used."

Boss Jin smiled and said, "Young lady's words are really insightful."

Su Ziling asked: "My apprentice said that some vinegar can be sour but not astringent, fragrant and slightly sweet. I wonder if there is such a thing here, Boss Jin?"

Boss Jin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is really not there. In fact, the procedures for making vinegar are roughly the same. In addition to glutinous rice, add sorghum, dried sweet potato, rice bran, etc., then crush and steam, and mix in koji and yeast. Just like the altar, it will be fermented. It’s just that the vinegar produced will inevitably have a bit of astringency, and if it’s like the lady said, it’s still a little sweet, which I’ve never seen before.”

Mi Xiaoye thought for a while and asked, "What if we only use glutinous rice?"

"Only sticky rice, nothing else?" Boss Jin asked.

Mi Xiaoye nodded: "Could it be that Boss Jin used too many miscellaneous grains when making vinegar, so the taste of the brewed vinegar would be impure. Also, if high-quality koji is used for fermentation, will it be better?" Woolen cloth?"

"This..." Boss Jin hesitated.

Mi Xiaoye said: "If the production process can be more refined, will it be different?"

Boss Jin thought for a while and said: "According to what the girl said, it's not impossible to improve. The raw materials and process of making vinegar can be adjusted, but..."
