Rebirth from Another World: Creating a Happy Life

Volume 2 Imperial Capital Volume A happy life begins with eating and drinking 29

In the next two days, Bobo Chicken and Teppanyaki skewers continued to sell well, and the reputation of Yuanye Tavern spread like wildfire. Starting every afternoon, there was always an endless stream of customers in front of the door, and many residents of Xiacheng District came here for the delicious food. Cheap Bobo Chicken and Teppanyaki Skewers. Xu Zheng’s name was widely spread as the creator of these two new things. For a while, no one in Xiacheng District didn’t know that there was such a magical black-haired boy in the wilderness. .

Two days later, Xu Zheng and Xiao Bangjia went to Sharp Blade again to pick up the custom-made steamer. This time, it was Hughes who set up the steamer. He was waiting outside the gate of the wilderness early as if he had a tacit understanding. He only said one sentence. There was no need to spend money, so Xu Zheng happily climbed onto the carriage without caring about how badly it was shaking. He shouted excitedly and directed the two wildebeests to open the way.

After arriving at Sharp Blade, after receiving the steamer and paying the reward, little Banga couldn't bear it anymore and started to make some insinuations to find out the whereabouts of the two dwarves. Xu Zheng stopped him and calmly led little Banga away from Sharp Blade's blacksmith shop.

After returning to the wilderness, little Banga asked anxiously: "Why didn't you let me inquire? Who knows whether they have escaped or not."

Xu Zheng said: "We were the ones who came into contact with them in the end. If you ask like this, others will become suspicious. No one is a fool." [

Little Banga said: "But I want to know if they escaped. I quite like those two dwarfs. Looking back now, if I didn't help you, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life."

Xu Zheng looked at little Banga for a long time, chuckled because of his kindness and innocence, and said: "Dwarves are straightforward and enthusiastic in nature, unlike humans who always have such twists and turns. This does not mean that they are fools. If they escape, , will definitely find a way to report to us." After a pause, he said to little Banga: "Go and invite your grandpa and grandpa Barlow to come over, we are going to start selling the first batch of wine."

Old Banga and Barlow had been guarding the field almost all this time. When little Banga said that Xu Zheng wanted to steam wine, they all came over. They saw Hughes half dragging and half hugging a strange man from the carriage. Barlow was stunned for a while and said, "Use this thing to press wine?"

Xu Zheng smiled and said: "It's not (Computer Novel Site: Fastest Updated) pressing, it's steaming."

Steamed? Barlow asked puzzledly: "Didn't all the wine run away after steaming?"

Xu Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, you will definitely not escape. The brewing process in the Imperial Capital has always been to press the juice after fermentation to obtain the wine, right? What standards do you generally use to measure the concentration of wine?"

Old Banga said a quantifier.

Xu Zheng felt that it was hard to pronounce, so he said: "In my hometown, the concentration of wine is measured by degree. It means how much pure wine is contained in a certain amount of wine. As you all know, wine Most of the ingredients in the liquid are water, and what really determines the taste is the part other than the water." He explained the concept of alcohol concentration to the two old men in detail. After seeing that both of them nodded in understanding, Xu Zheng said: "In this way For example, the alcohol content of the two wines sold by Aunt Lucina is about 6 to 7 degrees. The alcohol content is really low. This is the shortcoming of the pressing process. Generally speaking, if the wine contains too much water, it will taste watery. It will be too heavy and greatly reduce the aroma and purity of the wine. Unless it is a fruit-flavored wine, the fruity flavor and sugar of the fruit juice can be used to adjust the taste of the wine, otherwise the taste will not be very good. Through distillation, the wine can be greatly removed The water content in the liquid increases the alcohol content. Today I will use this steamer to show you a brand new process, which is steaming wine."

When they heard that it was a brand new brewing process, Lao Bangga and Barlow were extremely excited. Regardless of their old arms and legs, they came up to help Xu Zheng.

With the combined efforts of everyone, they pulled out four tanks of the mixture of peak honey and wheat bran that had been fermented nine days ago. Xu Zheng opened the lid and looked inside. The fermentation material had condensed into lumps, indicating that the fermentation process was going well and there was no need for it.

In vain of his patience, he let them ferment for two more days. If this kind of fermentation product is made with high-efficiency distiller's yeast, 3 to 4 days will actually be enough. In the winter when the temperature in the central star is relatively low, it only takes about 6 days, but considering

The koji brought from Laobangjia could not be as efficient as the koji from his previous life, so Xu Zheng patiently waited for them to ferment for two more days.

Take out the fermentation that has condensed into lumps. Uncle Carlo is not here today, so Hughes takes the lead and everyone works together to smash it and put it into the steamer.

The moment Xu Zheng opened the lid of the steamer, Xu Zheng's sharp eyes saw two shallow patterns engraved on the lid. If he didn't look carefully, he thought they were the patterns on the lid material itself. After a closer look, he saw that they were two pictures.

The first picture shows two stout short men wearing shackles sitting on the ground. The second picture has two moons. Under the moon, one of the two short men in the previous picture is opening the door, and the other one is opening the door.

Following closely behind, he holds an open lock in his hand. The lines of the two pictures are rough and appear to have been drawn in a hurry, but the content expressed is very expressive.

Xu Zheng smiled slightly, feeling relieved. He called Little Banga over and quietly pointed out the two pictures to him. Little Banga understood it at a glance and exclaimed in surprise: "Yeah, I escaped!"

Xu Zheng quickly covered his mouth, put the fermentation into the pot, and closed the lid.

Knowing that the two dwarves had successfully escaped, little Banga was jumping up and down with excitement, but he didn't dare to say anything, as if he was full of leaks and couldn't find a place to vent. Xu Zheng saw that this kid was too excited, so he had to

He pushed it away, and together with Hughes, he poured water into the steamer and carried it to the kitchen to steam it.

Due to the double-insulated structure, Xu Zheng didn't worry about the temperature being too high. He just turned on the fire hard and let the steamer heat up quickly.

As the steamer began to be heated, a strong aroma of wine soon floated out. Old Banga inhaled hard with his red nose and praised: "What a strong aroma! As soon as I smelled it, it was better than me.

Any kind of wine I’ve ever made is good!”

Barlow didn't speak, and kept watching all Xu Zheng's movements attentively. He took a breath until the aroma of wine overflowed, and a moved expression appeared on his face.

When the mixed fermentation product of honey and wheat bran was taken out and crushed in the wine vat, the wine smell was not strong yet, and only a faint aroma of wine could be smelled. Lao Banga and Barlow were worried that the fermentation would fail. Because honey and wheat bran were mixed

The two of them had never seen fermentation before, so they stayed by the wine vat and guarded the whole process. They couldn't smell enough wine for nine days in a row. Although the two knew that Xu Zheng would not talk in vain, they still had some doubts in their hearts.

Who knew that after Xu Zheng built a weird steamer and steamed this thing, the situation completely changed. When the aroma of the wine floated out, it was so rich that it seemed to be condensed and lingering on the tip of the nose, lingering.

, I couldn’t drive away, I just felt a sense of drunkenness pressing into my heart just from the smell.[

Little Bonga was still very excited about the two dwarves. After smelling the aroma of wine, he ran over and imitated his grandfather and sniffed his nose. Suddenly he felt dizzy. He pinched his nose with two fingers and ran away.

He ran and shouted: "Wow, it's so strong! Grandpa, didn't you say you can't make strong liquor? I think this liquor is very strong. Brother Xu Zheng is stronger."

Seeing that Xu Zheng was in a hurry and couldn't control the heat, Hughes had already taken over Xu Zheng's work and asked Xu Zheng to concentrate on checking the condition of the steamer. At this time, he smelled the aroma of wine and couldn't help but look at Xu Zheng with strange eyes. This

The boy not only has a weird talent as an animal trainer, but also has weird skills. If he hadn't seen him come back with a strange thing today, and decided to stop business for a day and come to the wilderness to have a look, he wouldn't have been able to see him.

This is a skill.

It was almost time for the wine to come out, and the aroma of the wine was almost at its peak. Even Lucina couldn't help but come in from the outside and praised: "It smells so good! This is the first time I have smelled this much after selling wine for so many years."

Fragrant wine." Seeing several people standing guard in front of the weird thing that Xu Zheng called the steamer, Lucina said happily: "Will there be new wine for sale soon? I've been waiting for many days."

Xu Zheng said: "It should be ready." Seeing that it seemed almost done, he unscrewed the angle valve and saw the wine began to drip out, so he shouted: "Quick, quick, quick! The wine is out!"

When Old Banga saw this, he jumped up as if his butt was on fire, rushed to the courtyard, dragged an empty wine jar, and stuffed it under the wine outlet.

I saw the wine condensing like white dew at the point where the wine came out, and then dripping down. At first, it just dripped down drop by drop, but then the wine began to come out faster, and finally formed a thin line, and dropped into the vat with a crisp sound.

inside.

The whole process lasted for about an hour. When the wine no longer dripped from the wine outlet, Xu Zheng turned off the angle valve and moved the steamer away. The wine tank that received the wine was already nearly half full of wine.

Lao Bangga and Barlow couldn't suppress their excitement and got closer to take a closer look at the wine produced by the new process. They saw that the wine in a vat was as clear as a vat of liquid amber. When it swayed slightly, the water reflected the light, making everything clear.

The low light refraction is indescribably beautiful. When it is not shaking, the liquid surface is as bright as a mirror, so clear that a person's face can be reflected.

Old Banga sighed: "Just by looking at the wine, I already knew it was the best. I just feel that I am short of words and can't find the right words or sentences to describe its appearance. Little Banga, bring me a bowl for grandpa."

Little Banga pinched his nose and brought a bowl. Old Banga bent down and scooped out a bowl. After the wine reached the bowl, it became clearer and more transparent, just like a transparent aurora crystal.

There is no impurity in it. Shake the bowl in your hand slightly, and the wine comes to life, flowing along the wall of the bowl, sparkling and crystal clear, which is extremely moving.

Xu Zheng smiled and said: "This is another benefit of distilled wine. It is not pressed and there is no impurity precipitated. The shape and color of the wine are natural, and it is already top quality."

Old Banga and Barlow nodded. Seeing the appearance of the liquor, they already deeply understood the benefits of distilled liquor.

Bahuo took the bowl from Old Banga's hand, lowered his head and looked at it for a while, and then smelled the aroma of the wine carefully. All the wrinkles on his old face could not help but spread out comfortably. He lowered his head and planned to take a sip.

Xu Zheng quickly shouted: "Wait!"

Barlow looked at Xu Zheng puzzled.

Xu Zheng laughed and said: "I suggest you let Uncle Xius try it first. Uncle Xius, do you have a good drinking capacity?"

Hughes nodded in confusion and said, "It's not bad. Drinking more than ten kilograms is not a problem."

"Ten pounds is not a problem, huh?" Xu Zheng snickered and said, "Okay, you try this. Make sure you don't vomit."

Not understanding the strange expression on Xu Zheng's face, Hughes took the bowl, brought it to his mouth, and habitually raised his head and took a big mouthful.

This drink is incredible. As soon as the wine enters the mouth, it is like swallowing a big fire, burning all the way in. Hughes never thought that the wine would be so strong, his face turned red, and he swallowed a big mouthful of wine without spitting it out.

no.

"Don't vomit!" Xu Zheng laughed.

Hughes' heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed the wine with all his strength. The flame immediately moved from his mouth, displaying the glory of the flames of passion, ravaging all the senses, and igniting everything he passed until it fell.

When it reaches the stomach, it is even more angry. After a moment of madness, it turns soft. A warm and comfortable feeling radiates from the chest and spreads throughout the body, creating an indescribable pleasure. [

Hughes raised his head, first hissed loudly, then screamed loudly, and finally clenched his fist and punched the wall hard, shouting: "It's so strong! It's so refreshing! This is what men drink! Drink."

After drinking this wine, everything else is just fucking water!" I couldn't help but take another sip. As soon as this sip entered my mouth, I felt like I could spit out fire when I opened my mouth, but there was a sense of pleasure growing in my heart.

I just felt like I couldn't stop. Hughes praised it again and again, forming one sentence over and over again: "Except for this, I will never drink any other wine from now on!"

Seeing Xius's appearance, Lao Banga and Barlow were overjoyed. Barlow took the bowl and raised his head to drink. Xu Zheng said hurriedly: "Take your time, take your time, your body can't bear it."

Barlow took a sip of doubt. As soon as the wine entered his mouth, he immediately had the same reaction as Hughes. His face turned red, his neck became thicker, and sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. But he was different from Hughes. The former had no idea.

I took a big sip and found that the latter was just a little bit empty. So once the power of the wine passed, the taste of poverty was revealed. Barlow tasted it carefully in his mouth and felt that the wine was rich in aroma, sweet and mellow, and far-reaching.

It's long. After swallowing it, a warmth immediately arose and spread to the limbs and bones, making me feel lazy and indescribably comfortable.

Barlow held the bowl, closed his eyes and thought about it. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes and sighed: "After drinking this wine, I feel that my life was in vain, and the wine I made is also in vain. This wine is about the shape and color of the wine.

, the aroma and taste of the wine are not the best. If you put it outside, I think someone would fight for it for 100 gold coins a cup."

Seeing that the two people who were trying the drink had such comments, Old Banga eagerly grabbed it and took a sip. After a long conversation, he only asked: "What's your name?"

Xu Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Yu Bing Shao Jiu." The full name is Yu Bing Shao Jiu. He removed the word "jiu" to make it sound more catchy.

"Is this Jade Bingshao?" Lao Bangga murmured: "It's as pure as jade, as transparent as ice, and as alcoholic as fire. It deserves its name." Suddenly he lowered his head and a tear fell into his eyes.

In the bowl, he sighed again: "It is true that as Barlow said, after tasting this wine, I felt that the previous wine was made in vain. It turns out that the wine in the world can be so strong and fragrant."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sad, Xu Zheng hurriedly said: "What does white wine mean? Don't say such depressing words, grandfathers. I am just relying on the brewing technology in my hometown to be more developed to make good wine. I am here

There are so many ways to do it, I’ll write them down some other time. With your decades of brewing experience and exposure to new brewing techniques, you will definitely be able to follow the same example and brew unparalleled wine!”

Lao Bangjiang smiled to himself and said, "Yes. I won't let you go until you write it down. When I learn your new techniques, I will definitely be better than you."

Xu Zheng smiled quickly and said: "That's right, that's right!"

Seeing his old friend's sadness, Barlow also smiled and changed the subject, saying: "Old friend, live and learn, didn't you have an eye-opener today? Mr. Xu is still here. We two old men can't make fun of the younger generation.

He is the one who learns more. Aren't we looking for self-breakthrough? Opportunities are right in front of us."

Lao Bangjia laughed and said: "Yes. I haven't convinced anyone yet. I am convinced by Xu Xiaozi now, but not with my mouth. Hahaha. Boy, is this wine considered good?"

Seeing Lao Bangjia smiling, Xu Zheng also smiled and said: "No. This wine is indeed drinkable now. But the taste is not mellow and long-lasting enough."

Hughes was shocked: "Isn't it enough? I think it's already great!"

Xu Zheng opened the steamer again, put in the raw materials to steam the second batch, and said: "This wine needs to be steamed three times and brewed three times. The steamed mixture is added with koji for the second time, and after fermentation again, the wine is steamed. The same method

Do it for the third time, and finally mix the three liquors together to get the final Yuhyo-yaki. The final Yuhyo-yaki is truly mellow and long-lasting, with a rich artistic conception. The taste of Yuhyo-yaki is better after just one steaming.

It's strong and a bit stiff, but it's suitable for Uncle Hughes' bold drinking style."

"Really?" Hughes was overjoyed and said, "Then can you leave some of this steamed Yubingshao for me?" He hesitated and then said, "I know this wine is good, but it is probably very expensive. I want it.

If not, you can ride in my carriage for free anytime and anywhere from now on. The two wildebeests are at your disposal!"

Xu Zheng was very happy and said with a smile: "Uncle Xius said this and said it. I like you quite a lot. Hey, you can take all the half of the steamed vat. It's free of charge. But I'll come to Lucina later.

You have to pay for drinking in Auntie’s shop.”

Hughes was overjoyed and went to find a bottle to put the wine in, and said with a smile: "You are such a lovable guy. No wonder everyone sees you as if they are seeing a treasure. I heard that you also have Bobo Chicken and Teppanyaki Skewers,

I must try it today. Can I pay for it?"

Everyone was happy, talking and laughing, and steamed the remaining wine ingredients one by one to get a steamed jade ice and burned it in 4 tanks, and then sent the steamed ingredients to fermentation to prepare for the second steaming.

By the time all the work was done, it was getting late, and everyone was so tired that their backs ached, so they had no choice but to give up on the idea of ​​eating Xu Zheng's craftsmanship. Old Banga took little Banga, Barlow, Hughes and others and left happily.
