Chapter 102 Inadvertently planting willows and willows

It turned out that this is not a mulberry tree, but a plant that is very similar to the mulberry leaves of the mulberry tree, called hops.

Chu Jiu reached out and touched the leaves of the hops, and couldn't help frowning.

Hops are actually a kind of medicinal material, which can mainly strengthen the stomach, relieve cough and calm the nerves.It is also effective for some diseases, such as leprosy, and it can be used together with mulberry leaves to complement each other.

However, the Southern Tang Dynasty has abundant medicinal materials, and this hop is probably not as good as other medicinal materials in terms of medicinal efficacy. If this hop is used, it will cause trouble.

I just glanced at the leaf in the child's hand in a hurry. I was full of confidence, but only now did I realize that I had really missed my sight.

"I picked the whole thing, and the left and right are also medicinal materials, which can cure some rare diseases, which are better than the other ones." Wang Buliuxing took a water hyacinth, took a sip, and poured a sip on each of his hands, Then he wiped it with a clean veil, and went forward to take it off.

Chu Jiu looked at Wang Buliuxing's wine gourd, and suddenly remembered something, isn't this hop just hops?

The alcohol contained in beer is much lower than that of white wine, and it can promote blood circulation and help digestion. Appropriate amount of beer also has a certain therapeutic effect on heart and hypertensive patients, just control the amount.

"Master, let's pick more. Chujiu has another method. If it succeeds, we should not be short of money in a short time." Chujiu and Wang Buliuxing said, and followed suit.

She wants these hops, not because she intends to use beer as medicine, but because she intends to make some beer for the people of Southern Tang to taste. They are stored as medicinal materials, and the left and right hops are picked for nothing, so there is not much loss.

Chu Jiu then explained his thoughts to Wang Buliuxing, and said that it was similar to medicinal wine, but did not really explain the history of beer.

Wang Buliuxing heard that this kind of thing can replace white wine, and even has so many benefits, so he was eager to try it.

The two picked a lot of hops and put them in the medicine basket, and even pressed them to try to put more in.

After that, the two did not seek medical treatment, but went to the rice store.

Chang Qijiu once commented that Chu Jiu was not grounded in anything other than medical treatment. This is wrong. Although Chu Jiu can't cook, she has mastered some things, such as the method of brewing wine. She also really learned from people for a while.

The production of beer is actually not difficult. To put it simply, it is first to crush the rice, paste the starch into gelatinization, then crush the malt, which is saccharification, and then filter the wort, boil the pot, settle, and wait Cool and ferment, add some materials, and finally filter.

After filtering, the beer is ready to drink.

It’s just that a little attention should be paid to the selection of materials, that is, the barley that has just been harvested must be stored. This is because barley has a so-called dormancy period, and it must be stored before it can fully mature.

It is necessary to personally choose the suitable wheat that has been stored, or buy new wheat to store.

After the barley has been screened, it must be soaked in clean water for two days, soaked and washed, and the floating barley removed. After germination, the temperature must be controlled, and then dried before it can be used for brewing beer.

After buying the things they needed, the two went straight back to Yijiang Chunshui Tang. Seeing the two coming back early, Wanniang put down the dustpan she was holding to sieve the seeds, and came over to ask if something happened.

Chu Jiu looked up and saw a fat, white, middle-aged man squatting next to the dustpan. He seemed to be picking something in the dustpan. He was startled and wanted to ask who it was, but when he took a closer look, he saw the fat, white man. There is no shadow of the middle-aged man, so he understands that he is actually a ghost.

Looking at the things in the dustpan, Chu Jiu patted his forehead helplessly. If she guessed correctly, this thing is actually glutinous rice essence. When glutinous rice becomes essence, it is as round as soybeans, which really surprised her.

Moreover, although glutinous rice also has the function of invigorating the middle and nourishing qi, it should be regarded as food, so why does it appear in front of her, or is it that as long as it touches the medicinal properties, it can be seen by her?Thinking of this, Chu Jiu just shivered.

"Chujiu, what's wrong with you, are you sick?"

"Mother, don't worry, the ninth day is fine."

Even though she heard what Chu Jiu said, Wanniang still raised her hand to touch Chu Jiu's forehead, Chu Jiu didn't stop her, and let her touch her forehead to prove that she didn't have a fever, and it wasn't because she felt uncomfortable.

Wanniang went back to continue picking glutinous rice, and the white and fat glutinous rice essence ran up to Chu Jiu with a short body, fawning on Chu Jiu.

"Doctor, I'm Nuomi, and I'm here to pay a visit today."

Chu Jiu didn't speak, but just indicated with his eyes that he understood.

Naturally, Wang Buliuxing and Wanniang couldn't hear what this glutinous rice said, if they answered by themselves, it would be different.

Therefore, Chu Jiu would not have any communication with these spirits at all in front of people.

Nuomi touched the ashes on the nose, thinking that this doctor is as unreasonable as the rumors say.

Then she turned into a grain of glutinous rice and turned into a grain of glutinous rice, and was about to return to the dustpan. Chu Jiu quickly caught it in her hand and put it into the empty little medicine gourd.

She knew that the glutinous rice spirit was looking for her to practice in the illusion, but after the incident with the nasturtium, she dared not trust any medicine spirit easily, so she put the glutinous rice spirit in the gourd alone, planning to wait for the peppermint essence to see See if you can put it in the illusion.

After finishing all this, Chu Jiu put the gourd containing the glutinous rice essence where she could see it. Although she couldn't do anything to these medicinal herb monsters, they didn't dare to touch her because she had a golden light body protection on her body. , can hurt their vitality, as long as she stops in front of those spirits, and those spirits approach, it is not impossible to be seriously injured.

The barley needs to be soaked for two days, so after Chujiu finished soaking the barley, it was convenient for Wang Buliuxing to go out and explain the method of making the beer. Although Chujiu thought it was very simple, it was difficult for Wang Buliuxing to understand those unfamiliar words. After a lot of tossing, by the time Wang Buliuxing understood the method of making it, it was already dark.

Cang Yuhe returned to Yijiang Chunshuitang and told them that the house was found, that is, two tile-roofed houses, which looked a bit dilapidated, and they brought a yard and repaired it, and it should be fine, but the place is a bit remote, out of the city, in the west In the suburbs, Yijiang Chunshuitang is in the east of the city.

The old couple originally lived in the house, and there was a daughter under their knees. The daughter married far away, and the old man left again, so the old woman sold the house cheaply, intending to join her daughter.
