I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Yin Xuan returned to his seat and looked at the pulley set handed to him by the four little girls.

Um.
how to say.

It's good, at least it's not a blank paper, even Jiu'er has drawn something.

these things are drawn
Jiu'er drew a bunch of grapes, and it was obvious that she wanted to eat grapes.

Li Lizhi and Yin Lulu had to be more disciplined, at least they could see the appearance of the pulley block, but it didn't conform to the basic knowledge taught by Yin Xuan to them at all.

Only Li Shu's painting is more decent, but it is also a wrong answer.

The requirements for them should not be too strict, after all, counting yesterday afternoon, they only studied for one day, counted as class hours, at most two classes.

Moreover, they do not have a complete learning and thinking thinking, which is the biggest flaw in them.

Take it easy, what else can I do.

Yin Xuan called back and asked them to rethink.

Before the new guests came, a group of people suddenly came outside the door, and a young man poked his head in: "Brother Zhengyang, what you want has been typed out."

After hearing this, Yin Xuan quickly stood up and waved to them: "Quick, move in quickly."

The boy outside greeted him, and he and a man walked in from the outside carrying a weird wooden utensil.

A sealed vat is connected to another sealed vat by a long tube.

Yin Xuan arranged for them to put the things in the backyard, and took out a sling of money and handed them over to them—this was the thing he had entrusted to the carpenter early in the morning, and it was a device for distilling wine.

He originally planned to make this thing out of copper—not to mention whether he had enough money, but the blacksmith shook his head and refused when he heard his words.

This is the same as later generations holding specific data and asking people to help them punch such an iron pipe.

In desperation, I can only make a wooden one, which does not mean that it cannot be used.

Wait for the man and the boy to leave.

Cheng Yaojin asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, what are you getting here?"

He had never seen such a big guy before.

"Utensils for brewing wine." Yin Xuan replied succinctly.

Brewing?

This answer was somewhat unexpected to Cheng Yaojin: "This is something for wine making? Shopkeeper, don't lie to me, it's not that I don't know how to make wine."

This kind of thing is not available in wine making.

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows, and asked with great interest: "Oh? Do you know how to make wine? Why, is it possible that Mr. Cheng still makes wine in private?"

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, wine making was strictly controlled.

During the reign of Wude, alcohol was banned. After all, the war had just ended, and wine production required a lot of food. Why drink when people can't eat enough?
In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin had the idea of ​​relaxing the prohibition on wine making, but a locust plague knocked him back to his original form, and it was not until recent years that he gradually let go of this gap.

During this period of time, the only one capable of brewing wine was the Liang Brewing Department, the official brewing agency.The brewed wine is also mostly used for sacrifices and banquets for foreign guests.

Of course, the ban is just a ban, and those who secretly make wine in private have repeatedly banned it.

Yin Xuan's words struck Cheng Yaojin's mind, and made him cough a few times in embarrassment.

Cheng Yaojin was the one who didn't obey the ban.

In fact, Cheng Yaojin will always find some strange reasons to violate these innocuous prohibitions.It's like winemaking - the grain sits in the cellar for so long that it ferments itself.

Of course, sneaky things are not easy to put on the bright side.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened: "How can you be so innocent? I'm only a young soldier, how dare I make wine! Me, I'm because I've seen wine brewing at home when I was a child, in the former Sui Dynasty. "

"Oh." Yin Xuan dragged out his tone with disbelief on his face.

Cheng Yaojin was a little ashamed, feeling that Yin Xuan seemed to have seen through him, so he quickly changed the topic: "Then the store you brew is that kind of fine wine?"

Yin Xuan shook his head: "It's not as good as that kind of wine, but the taste will be better than those on the market."

Cheng Yaojin's eyes were full of anticipation: "How long will it take?"

Yin Xuan thought for a while, pondering for a while: "Slightly inferior wine, probably more than a month, but better wine, I'm afraid we will have to wait until winter at the earliest."

Brewing is also quite a hassle.

The culinary proficiency given to him by the system only taught him how to cook, but did not teach him how to make wine.

but
You must know that a person always has several ex-girlfriends who can do everything. Yin Xuan once had a girlfriend who was from the Institute of Biotechnology and Food Science. Yin Xuan learned some wine making methods from her.

Now Yin Xuan is going to make two kinds of wine.

One is of course baijiu.

The key to this kind of wine is the koji.

Yin Xuan didn't plan to buy distiller's koji from outside—even if he wanted to, he couldn't buy it. There was no distiller's koji in circulation, so he had to start from scratch to make wine.

Think of wine koji.

Yin Xuan unconsciously looked at Li Lizhi, Li Shu and the others.

It is said that stepping on the koji with the feet of a girl will promote the fermentation of the koji, which will give birth to a better flavor. I don't know if it is true or not.

Do you want to persuade Li Lizhi and Li Shu to try?
Anyway, Li Shimin and the others will be drinking at that time, and they are not greedy for this glass of wine.

This kind of brewing is Daqu Liquor.

He told Cheng Yaojin that at least the wine that had to wait until winter was this kind of wine.

The other is wine that does not require koji.

That is wine. Compared with white wine, the brewing process of wine is much simpler-washing, pressing out the juice, and waiting for fermentation.

The materials needed are also very simple, only grapes are needed.

Of course. The wine brewed in this way is no different from the common wine in Datangfang City.

That's why Yin Xuan waited until the distillation vessel was made before starting to make wine.

Wine can also be distilled - this kind of distilled wine is called "brandy". Although there is a white letter on it, the color of the wine is not white.

There are many ways to make wine, but Yin Xuan knows very little.

But he knows that although wine is the father of brandy, two completely different grapes are needed to make wine and brandy.

Wine needs to be sweet, while brandy needs to be low in sugar and sour.

Generally speaking, the first fermentation can be completed in about ten days.

At that time, it will be directly on the shelf for distillation.

Although it is said that the wine that has not undergone secondary fermentation and cooking process is more or less inferior in flavor, but it is a crash after all, and it is still a spirit after distillation.

Take it here and use it for a while, and then slowly improve the flavor when the craft and process of winemaking are mature.

In addition to technology and materials.

There is one more important thing about winemaking.
