The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 30 "The Three Divine Comedies"

Ge Qiao was frightened by him and said: "I have never heard of 'glutinous rice', but there are some 'glutinous rice', and there are some 'big bean'..." Guyi was a little crazy, what this kid said What are they?You asked him to use these unheard of things to make distiller's yeast, it would be strange if he could make it!

"How about...how about you go to the warehouse with me to have a look?" Ge Qiao blinked pitifully, shocked by Gu Yi's "Expert Fan".

Gu Yi thinks about it, it's better than talking with a duck now. After making sure that they will not be killed by the mysterious Tai Bokui when they enter the iron courtyard, the three of them followed Ge Qiao into the granary in the iron courtyard. Under Ge Qiao's identification, Guyi recognized all kinds of "millet, millet, valley, 穄, millet, millet, 秬, 秠, Liang, 粢, 穧, 秫..." and couldn't help admiring, and raised his posture. This shit is called "miscellaneous grains"!

Since Guyi intends to make sweet wine koji that can be made quickly and produced early, he asked two extremely strong boys to move three dendrobiums [sticky rice] and two dendrobiums [big bean]. Some familiar crops, and then I moved a pile of tripods, cauldrons, baskets, scorpions, pots, dishes, bowls, mills, pestles, poundes, mortars... plus large and small altars and jars that can be found in the iron courtyard warehouse, It was like moving back to the wooden shed outside the iron courtyard.

It’s not that Guyi doesn’t know the formula of better wine koji. He knows no less than a hundred kinds of formulas for Daqu, Xiaoqu, Benqu, Heiqu, Baiqu, Huangqu, Hongqu… After all, in the era of his world, there were “ The magic weapon of "Internet" and those popular "ancient secret recipes" have long been unveiled.

He even knows more than a dozen formulas for the "Three Divine Comedies", which are said to be passed on to males but not females, and "The Upper Divine Comedy, the Middle Divine Comedy, and the Lower Divine Comedy".

Before coming to this world, as a foodie with ideals and goals, he often went to the ancestral house next door to the small wine workshop known as "300-year-old wine" to drink wine, even the "300-year-old wine" "Ointment" has been secretly dug and tasted, and the 92-year-old old father who made the wine was so distressed, he jumped up and down and scolded him that the embryo was broken since his grandpa's generation, since his grandpa was running around in crotch pants When he was stealing wine and drinking, he knew that the kid from the old Gu family didn't have a good thing...

As the only closed-door grandson of the father of the wine shop who passed on the "Three Divine Comedies", although he has never done it himself, he almost learned the recipe at the cost of marrying his father's 46-year-old unmarried granddaughter Yunying. He still remembers it clearly Yes, but the problem is that none of the current materials, tools, utensils, venues, and environments meet the requirements.

The earth leopards in this world regard old rice wine as a treasure after it has been aged for a while, and they even named it "酸醸", even if Guyi wanted to make some "San Shen Niang" to let them see what "wine" is. With that condition, he can only settle for the next best thing and make some sweet rice wine to deal with the errands. It is said that his life is still hanging in the balance, so how can he have the time to do these trivial matters.

While complaining about his miserable experience, he turned around the three commanders and asked them to wash the three dendrobiums [sticky rice] and two dendrobiums [big bean] in the small river, and use the "pestle" and "mortar" to clean them up. "Pound to remove the bran, then grind the mill into fine powder, put it in a large cauldron, stir-fry it over high heat until it turns yellow, and then invite out the mysterious wine and medicine that he brought with his second brother to prepare all morning: spicy Polygonum and hops !
When he went out in the morning, Gu Yi did not expect to find these two plants in the [Sinking Valley]. Although it is possible to make distiller's yeast without these two plants, it would take much more time and energy. It is also more complicated and troublesome.

The reason why "Spicy Polygonum" is said to be the mother of koji is mainly because adding its juice can promote the growth of microorganisms in koji and wine, and "hop flower" is actually hops, so its effect is naturally unnecessary. Say.

Just because he found these two plants, Gu Yi has a lot of confidence to speak. Although he is only a theoretical school, he just fooled the earth leopards in this world. I feel a bit like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

Apart from anything else, wash it and mash it into slag, squeeze out the juice for later use, and then pour it into the big cauldron together with a full three or four hundred kilograms of steamed Shun powder. Pour in the distiller's koji together, stir and knead it well, and then knead it into balls with your hands. This is the koji embryo of distiller's yeast.

Because there is no certainty, and in order to pursue the speed of ripening, Gu Yi made the koji into egg-sized balls instead of large koji cakes, and pricked small eyes on them with straw sticks.

Guyi went to the cellar specially dug in the iron courtyard as a wine cellar, selected some empty wine urns that had been covered with white velvet fungus due to being left in the wine cellar for too long, and spread them inside. Put a layer of millet bran on it, place a layer of bent germ, sprinkle a little water, then spread a layer of millet bran, another layer of bent germ, and sprinkle a little water, so that the millet bran is moistened and filled into the urn, ready to be put into the cellar The culture is ripe.

Gu Yi was busy, and what San Xiao looked at was a dazzled head. Ge Qiao saw that Guyi carefully put egg-sized rice balls into the wine jar, and picked up one in confusion. Looking left and right, some doubted in disbelief: "This can make Lijiu?"

"How can it be so fast! Come early! Do you know what this is? This is the legendary 'Qu Bo Dan'!"

He snatched the dumpling from his hand and threw it into the wine jar. Gu Yi gave him an angry look. This kid dared to question the "professionalism" of the brick family, and casually made a nonsense to Jiu Qu that sounded very bluffing. Name, humming: "Or you can call it 'Jiu Dan, Li Dan, Jiu Mu, Jiu Mu' or something, it's very mysterious!"

After putting all the bent embryos into the urn, a piece of dry bedding grass was firmly stuffed on the mouth of the urn to seal the altar. Then Gu Yi explained: "The 'Qu Bo Dan' can only be used when the 'Qu Bo Dan' is ready." If you want to make wine and wine, you won’t be able to finish it in ten days and half a month... Anyway, you don’t understand! It’s stupid! Hurry up and find a warm place to hide these big wine jars, and just wait.”

Seeing that Guyi wasted a lot of materials, he thought he could make Liji in one go, but who knew that a lot of things were wasted, but he didn't see Liji being made. The little boy Ge Qiao was in a hurry, and he shouted angrily: "Haven't you started refining the wine with this co-author?"

Gu Yi glared, deliberately scaring the child: "Are you an expert, or am I an expert!? If you delay any longer, these 'Qu Bi Dan' will be destroyed in your hands. You can figure it out yourself!"
