Rebirth from Another World: Creating a Happy Life
Volume 2 Imperial Capital Volume A happy life begins with eating and drinking 11
Xu Zheng looked up and saw a young man walking out of the room. He was younger than himself, about twelve or three years old. He was walking towards him and looking at him angrily.
The boy was wearing a gray shirt and had short gray hair. He had a round face and round eyes, with light brown pupils inside. He puffed out his cheeks in an upright manner, making him look even rounder. Although the boy was actually
He was not fat, but because of his appearance, Xu Zheng's first impression was that a plump and plump koala was walking in front of him.
The koala walked up to him and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. My grandfather pioneered the use of citrus to make wine in Zion. Before that, this kind of wine had never been heard of on the mainland. You are a child.
What do you know? Brewing is a profound knowledge."
Winemaking is a profound knowledge, winemaking is a profound knowledge, winemaking is a profound knowledge... I seem to have heard this saying many times. As for what... it is just a method of making drinks.
Xu Zheng looked at the round koala with some depression and said, "Who are you?" [
The young man said in an old-fashioned way: "I am little Banga Rasher. My grandfather is old Banga Rasher. Everyone in the imperial capital of Zion knows about my grandfather. He is a fifth-level brewer."
Is there such a profession as a brewer, and it has different levels? Xu Zheng was dumbfounded for a while.
Thinking in his mind, he actually said it out of his mouth. Koala looked at Xu Zheng with contempt and said: "Ignorant and ignorant. Brewers must be divided into different levels. There are only three fifth-level brewers in the city, and my grandfather is one of them.
No one can make this kind of citrus wine except my grandfather."
Is this the level of a fifth-level brewer? Xu Zheng shook his head. Seeing that the other person was a child, Xu Zheng was too lazy to be polite to him. He always respected the elderly and was not so patient with children. He immediately said: "Hey, Xiaobang
Come on, is there any distiller’s yeast? Sell it to me.”
Little Banga said: "Yes, but we just don't sell them."
Xu Zheng asked curiously: "Why?"
Little Banga said: "You said my grandfather's wine was not good, and I felt unhappy, so I just wouldn't sell it!"
Xu Zheng immediately became happy and said: "Hey, you have quite a temper. Why, I said this wine is not good, you don't accept it?"
The little koala pouted and said, "You don't know how to make wine at all. You just talk nonsense. Of course I don't accept it."
I don’t know how to make wine? According to what I saw, if I don’t know how to make wine, no one in Zion really knows how to make wine. Xu Zheng was even more happy and said with a smile: “Boy, you said I don’t know how to make wine.
Okay, let's have a showdown and see who understands better."
Little Banga cocked his neck like a little rooster and said, "Come on, don't underestimate me."
This kid is quite funny. Xu Zheng wanted to tease him more and more, so he said: "Okay, let me ask you, how do you choose the raw materials for this citrus wine?"
Little Banga said: "Try to choose ripe and plump fruits. Don't use inferior ones."
Xu Zheng smiled and said: "Look, this is what rich people do. In actual selection of fruits, there are only two requirements. The first is that they are ripe, and the second is to choose brightly colored fruits. Ripe fruits determine the quality of the wine.
The quality of the taste and the brightness of the color determine the color of the wine. As long as the fruit meets these two conditions, any fruit will be used. Even fruits with wounds, special fruits, or even fallen fruits can be used as raw materials for brewing."
Xiao Banga made Xu Zheng stunned. What this man said was exactly the same as what his grandfather thought. Grandpa also said this first, because he was making wine that had never been brewed before, so in order to ensure the quality, there would be no surprises.
, and finally chose the best fruit as the raw material for making wine. He looked Xu Zheng up and down suspiciously, does this person really understand? Impossible, looking at his age, he looks like he is at most one or two years older than himself.
Suspicious in his heart, little Bangga said: "Just blow it. Let me ask you, what happens after you select the raw materials?"
Xu Zheng looked at the child's old-fashioned appearance and couldn't help but want to tease him, so he said: "Of course I wash the fruit and squeeze the juice."
Little Banga suddenly became angry and said: "Let's go, let's go, there's no koji, let's go quickly!"
Seeing that the child was angry, Xu Zheng stopped teasing him and said: "No, no, no, listen to me. You also need to prepare sugar for the raw materials. The fruits must be washed, firstly for hygiene, and secondly to remove unnecessary impurities.
Taste. When washing, blanch it in boiling water for half an hour, then remove the skin and seeds inside. The seeds must be cleaned because they have a bitter taste and will directly affect the taste of the wine. As for the skin, here is a
Little secret, do you want to hear it?"[
Little Banga was listening intently, and immediately fell into the trap, saying: "Yes."
Xu Zheng stretched out a finger: "A wine koji."
Little Bangjia glared at Xu Zheng, and saw that Xu Zheng only stretched out one finger and waved it in front of his eyes, with a non-smiling expression on his face. He couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "Just one! Remember first!"
, you continue."
Xu Zheng then smiled proudly and said: "Your grandfather must think that it is best to brew with pure fruit juice, right?"
Seeing Xiao Bang nodding, Xu Zheng added: "Actually, the peel contains an oily substance. A large part of the reason why citrus is so fragrant is because of it. Therefore, after peeling off the skin, part of the skin can be left.
Squeeze out the oil for later use. You can also leave a little skin and squeeze it together with the fruit. The amount should not be too much, as it will cover up the taste of the juice and also make the juice taste bitter."
Seeing Xiao Bangjia looking at him doubtfully, Xu Zheng added: "Then comes the formal brewing process. This step is collectively called fermentation. Uh? Do you know the meaning of fermentation?" Xu Zheng was afraid that like Xiaoban, he didn't even know the koji.
I don’t know what it is. Who knows that the names of these things in the past life and this life are different, so I’ll ask first.
Seeing Xiao Bangjia nodding, Xu Zheng also nodded with satisfaction. It's good to know. It will make communication much easier. Then he continued: "The first step is to become a wine mother. This step goes without saying. I guess your grandfather definitely doesn't know."
Little Bangjia stared at Xu Zheng in dissatisfaction. It is true that grandpa did not go through any steps to prepare the wine mother, but who knows if that boy is just talking nonsense?
Seeing that he was dissatisfied, Xu Zheng refused to argue with him and said: "Since there is no wine mother, your grandfather must have directly put the juice into the wine vat, and then added the koji to ferment directly. Generally speaking, this process takes about 7 to 15 days.
Your grandfather doesn’t have a wine mother, so I estimate...well, the time should be about 25 days, right?"
Little Bangjia looked at Xu Zheng in surprise. Grandpa had indeed fermented it for 27 days in total.
Seeing the expression on Xiao Banga's face, Xu Zheng knew that he had guessed it right, and he continued to talk: "The fermentation process of up to 15 days has been extended to 27 days. Although the fermentation is completed, there will definitely be problems due to the extension of the fermentation time.
Other miscellaneous smells are produced, which is the main reason why I say the fermentation is overdone. Your grandfather must judge whether the fermentation is complete based on the smell of wine. When he feels that the fermentation is complete, he finds that the sweetness is not ideal, and adds sugar for seasoning.
.But after adding sugar, a new problem appeared, that is, the taste of wine and grain were not uniform and could not be mixed together well. In order to improve this, it was placed again for secondary fermentation to allow the sweetness and wine flavor to blend.
When it was finally completed, due to various reasons, there were many impurities and sediments in the wine, and it had to be clarified again, which resulted in the third fermentation. This second fermentation and third fermentation are the reasons why I
Let’s talk about the secondary reasons for over-fermentation. After these processes, the final wine will look like this. Most of the citrus flavor has been lost, the taste is bland, the sweetness is not enough, the acidity is excessive, the color is gray, the wine is turbid, and there is something at the bottom.
Impurities and contaminants are very difficult to remove. Am I right?”
Xiao Bangjia stared at Xu Zheng dumbfounded. He was amazed that he was completely fooled.
The junior class and senior class also stared at Xu Zheng, as if they had gotten to know this person again. Even Lu Qi couldn't help but ask: "Xu Zheng, you know so much. Do you really know how to make wine?"
Little Bangjia gradually began to believe what Xu Zheng said so clearly, and couldn't help blurting out: "Then do you have any solution? Grandpa has a hard time brewing."
Xu Zheng said: "I really have no way to solve the problem of over-fermentation. But I have a way to improve the taste of grandpa's wine when he makes it."
Xiao Bangjia said impatiently: "Tell me and listen."
Xu Zheng remained silent, with that half-smiling look on his face again. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and spread his ten fingers before saying: "10 jiuqu."
"You...you...you you you!" Little Banga suddenly became annoyed and angry, shouting: "Go away! Go away! I don't believe you. This wine was invented by my grandfather. I'm listening to you talking nonsense here and lying to me."
." He stretched out his hand to chase Xu Zheng away.
Xu Zheng was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this child would be so ungrateful. He was really angry. It was neither wrong to leave now nor wrong to leave. He stood there awkwardly.
At this time, I suddenly heard an old man's voice shouting at the entrance of the yard: "100 wine yeast, plus 100 gold coins! As long as your method works!"!~!
