I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 197 God's Alcohol (Two in One)

Inuyang Erlang's complexion changed drastically, he walked a few steps on his knees, buried his head deeply on Quanyang Jingzhai's feet, and cried out in pain: "Master Jingzhai, please!

How are those chefs in the Xiangjiang Food Competition qualified to compete with adults?

My lord is the only master chef in my big island country, they are not worthy at all! "

"The only master chef, I'm afraid not necessarily?

What's more, I have only reached the realm of a master chef in terms of knife skills. To become a real chef, it is not just a matter of strong knife skills. "

Quanyang Jingzhai sighed slightly: "Besides, I went to the Xiangjiang Food Competition just for Zhou Dong. What does it have to do with those contestants?"

"My lord, but according to the competition system"

Inuyang Jiro wanted to persuade again: "The competition organizing committee has given only 43 places to our country, but my big island country has [-] counties with one capital and two prefectures, and hundreds of chefs who are willing to participate.

It is also for this reason that I accepted Jingbian's invitation to go to Huaxia, in order to save a spot.

Otherwise, you will have to compete with the cooking masters in your country. Whether you win or lose, it will damage the glory of my big dog raising family.

Erlang is like this, let alone my lord?

How are those guys qualified to let adults take action! "

A warlike nation like the island country is not like China. As long as the culinary associations of the provinces make a list, few people will challenge it. Such a thing as Quanyang challenging Zhou Dong may only happen once in many years.

The island country decides the number of entries, but there is no culinary association that recognizes this kind of thing, and it is all about "real swords and guns" to compete.

"I read your resume, it's very good, so you can be my assistant"

Inuyang Jingzhai tapped his left foot a few times on the ground in white cotton socks: "It's not worth my effort to fight for the qualification spot in the island country, so I'll let you, my assistant, solve it.

After the matter is completed, you can follow me into the flower field to learn knife skills. If you fail, the family will consider taking back your 'Blue Moon'. "

"Ha Yi!"

Inuyang Jiro was overjoyed, this is the opportunity Master Jingzhai bestowed on him, representing the trust and expectation of Master Jingzhai.

Compared with the island countries that are about to fight duels, Dahuaxia is much more harmonious. After Inuyang Erlang was severely taught, the list of Suzhou Province was basically confirmed. Chefs from more than a dozen star-rated hotels were reported together with Zhou Dong. On the competition organizing committee.

The chefs on this big list will be able to enter the preliminaries in the end. I am afraid that there will be only one or two people. China has a vast land and resources, and there are many provinces. In the end, the chefs who can enter the qualifiers and go to Xiangjiang are about 50 people in China.

Originally, according to Zhu Yanping's idea, a small island country has thirty quotas, and China should at least have one hundred, right?
But even if he was the first sponsor, this proposal was rejected by the organizing committee.

After all, it is an international food competition. Compared with Europe, which has only one or two places in a country, and Africa, which has only three places in the entire continent, the fifty places in China is already an "astronomical figure". If there are more, it may cause criticism from other countries , will say that Xiangjiang deliberately favors the mainland.

Even the island country has been reduced from thirty places to twenty in this year's competition. It is said that the island country's food council has also lodged a serious protest to the competition organizing committee.

Although the protest was ineffective, the culinary circles of the island country were outraged because of this, thinking that a country like Huaxia that does not even have a national dish can have [-] places. This Xiangjiang Food Competition must be manipulated by Chinese people behind the scenes!

Master Inuyang Jingzhai, one of the three great sword masters in the island country, actually surrendered his status to participate in this food competition this time. In the eyes of the island country chefs, it is undoubtedly a powerful response to China.

Even if you have fifty places, the gold award must belong to Lord Jingzhai!
"Inuyang Jingzhai?"

Huai Liang in Paris looked up at the Notre Dame Cathedral shrouded in clouds, with a smile on his lips.

"Interesting, really interesting.

How long has it been since a chef-level figure appeared in the Xiangjiang International Food Competition?

At least 20 years.

Although Inuyang Jingzhai is not a real chef, but his knife skills are legendary, which made me a little interested.

If you add that guy Zhou Dong, the gold medal in this Xiangjiang International Food Competition should be the most gold medal ever, right? "

Thinking of Zhou Dong, Huai Liangren smiled even more happily.

It seems that he should be reminded, otherwise it will be bad if he accidentally loses to that guy who always likes to stay in the flower field and pretend to be X.

Unfortunately, the call was not connected, indicating that the other party was not in the service area.

The signal is so bad?If this guy is not in Chu, he will stay there, where is he going?

Huailiang was very depressed.

The competition is about to start, and this guy didn't say anything about making a phone call to get in touch with him. Thanks to him, he tried his best to recommend him, hoping that he would become a seed player!
***
Fengqi Mountain in August is not only beautiful, but also brings a lot of harvest to the people in the mountain area. Before the season of buying wheat and rice, the full-grained round glutinous rice and spicy Polygonum flowers have already matured.

This is the best season for brewing yellow rice wine. If it is in the south of the Yangtze River, the young daughter-in-law and mother-in-law will start to get busy, first prepare the high-quality wine koji, and then brew a pot of yellow rice wine full of love for the head of the family.

There is a saying that health depends on rice wine, and you can only seek whiteness when you are drunk; although drinking rice wine can also make you drunk, but more is to taste the taste and culture carried by the wine.

Liquor is a distilled product that wastes food, and some simply don’t use food. There are good and bad, and the taste is simpler than rice wine. Zhou Dong actually doesn’t like it very much.

Moreover, as the concept of modern health is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are more and more varieties of rice wine in the alcohol consumption market. The rice wine that has truly dominated the 3000-year history of Chinese wine has regained its vitality.

This time when he came to Fengqi Mountain, Zhou Dong was planning to get the wine koji done first, and at the same time asked Li Xiuchen to help stock up some new rice. When he returned from Xiangjiang, the matter of wine making would be on the agenda.

Li Xiuchen's family also had the habit of brewing wine. He took Zhou Dong down to the field early in the morning. The ears of glutinous rice that had matured were heavy and swayed gently in the wind, as if welcoming Zhou Dong, the bole.

"My field is filled with the best glutinous pearls, Brother Zhou, if you want to make distiller's yeast, you have to choose some good glutinous rice with full grains.

After all, distiller's yeast is directly related to the quality of finished wine, but it can't be sloppy.

How about I help you choose when the first crop of glutinous rice is harvested tomorrow? "

Li Xiuchen knew that Zhou Dong was the chef of Kyushu Dingshi, but when it came to brewing wine, he always thought that Zhou Dong was still a fledgling, so he probably needed his help.

Zhou Dong smiled slightly: "No need bro, I still want to choose by myself.

Twenty catties of glutinous rice is enough for me to make distiller's koji this time, but how is the spicy Polygonum flower blooming?And verbena, weed, hair grass roots, anise leaves, etc., I need them all. "

"Oh, brother Zhou is an expert?
Don't worry, the spicy Polygonum flower in Fengqi Village is a must.When the ideal life program group left, Mr. Huang made a lot of reservations with me, saying that he wanted me to send them to Kyoto.

As for the other ingredients, I have them at home. Brother Zhou and I have a hobby, and we like to brew some wine by ourselves. "

"Well, I have to go to Xiangjiang tomorrow, and I have to ask my brother to help me collect some glutinous rice and high-quality rice, corn and wheat.

The amount is quite a lot, I will write to you later, when I come back from Xiangjiang, we will calculate the money together.

This is a public matter of mine, and the money is not paid by me, brother, you are welcome. "

"Well then, just listen to Brother Zhou."

Li Xiuchen originally wanted to be polite, but after hearing what Zhou Dong said, he didn't say anything. He was thinking of helping Zhou Dong choose the ears of rice for making distiller's yeast, but he saw that Zhou Dong had already walked into the field, stroking it with his hands as he walked. ear of rice.
"Is that how you pick glutinous rice? What is Brother Zhou doing?"

Li Xiuchen looked strange for a while.

Regardless of rice wine and white wine, the raw materials used are important, but the most important thing is the koji.

The quality of distiller's yeast is directly related to the quality and mouthfeel of finished wine.

For rice wine with a rich taste and various auxiliary materials, koji is even more important.

Craftsmanship is one aspect of making koji, and the most important thing is to choose the glutinous rice or rice used for making koji.

The round glutinous rice produced in Fengqi Village is plump and rich, and it is the best raw material for koji making. However, when choosing, it is even more important to abide by the principle of "one slow, two look, three water".

The so-called one-slow means that the threshing must be done by hand, and the threshing must be done carefully so as not to hurt the glutinous rice.

The so-called second look refers to the careful selection of glutinous rice grain by grain, and no more than nine grains per ear.

The so-called three choices of water mean that water with high mineral content is required for making distiller's yeast, and mountain spring water is the best.

Zhou Dong chose the water for brewing before, and he was not too satisfied with the water in Fengqi Mountain, but if it is used to make koji, the natural spring water in Ajie Valley is the most suitable.

Choosing glutinous rice is a technical job, how can there be someone like Zhou Dong?Without waiting for threshing, like a big girl looking at flowers, just walk all the way, brushing gently with your fingers, occasionally stopping, and breaking off the ears of rice you like?

Moreover, Li Xiuchen could see clearly that not all the ears of rice Zhou Dong selected were the thickest, and some of them even looked shriveled and yellow. Can such ears of rice produce good glutinous rice?

He wanted to remind him, but he was afraid of losing face to Zhou Dong.

I thought to myself, let’s forget it, and when I get rid of the grains later, if the glutinous rice is not usable, I will help him re-select it.
Zhou Dong had already seen what Li Xiuchen was thinking, but he didn't explain it.

The "divine koji" in the legendary brewing skills is said to be able to produce top-level koji that cannot be found anywhere in the world. How can the method of selecting raw materials for koji be known to ordinary people?
The so-called 1.1 meters of millet are all the essence of earth power; to put it a little more mysteriously, it means that the aura of heaven and earth is contained in it, otherwise how can it nourish the human body?

The plump and round glutinous rice generally contains more essence of earth power, but there are no exceptions; just as people generally have strength only when they are big, but Li Yuanba, who is as thin as a monkey, was the number one hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

This glutinous rice is just like human beings. In every mu of land, there must be dozens of "rice kings".It may not look the roundest and fullest, but in fact the essence of earth power contained in it is far more than ordinary rice.

What Zhou Dong has to do is to pick out these "rice kings" and a batch of glutinous rice with the best quality.

After all, it was his first time brewing wine, and he didn't want to shock the world too much, otherwise he would go all over Fengqi Mountain and pick out the king rice from every mu of land to make wine koji. Live up to his title of Chinese Dionysus.

But this is just thinking about it, there are many glutinous rice fields in Fengqi Mountain, but other farmers will not let him go to the fields to pick rice ears like Li Xiuchen.

The crop is the life of the farmer. No matter how much money you have, you can’t ruin other people’s fields like this. You might be beaten.
While Li Xiuchen squatted by the field and smoked two bags of cigarettes, Zhou Dong picked a pile of rice ears like a hill, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It should be enough. Get the koji out."

Glancing at the ears of rice Zhou Dong selected, Li Xiuchen shook his head secretly. It was probably not bad at all, and the other [-]% must have been paid for in his opinion. He couldn't help but said, "Enough is enough, but Brother Zhou you It's not a good choice, how about I help you change some?
Also, it takes a lot of effort to thresh these rice ears by hand. I'm afraid you'll have to work till night, and you may not be able to make distiller's yeast today.You said just now, what kind of competition are you going to Xiangjiang to participate in tomorrow?It's too late. "

"If you change it, you don't need to change it. I'm sure it will be fine. Threshing is also simple. I don't have to work until night. I can get it out today."

Li Xiuchen smiled, and said to himself that you are stubborn, you have never done farm work in vain, do you think it is easy to make koji and thresh?

Let's do it, let your boy toss about it first.
If you want to thresh by hand, you have to use a threshing bucket. The Li family has used a thresher all these years, that is, they occasionally use it when making wine; after Li Xiuchen found someone to bring the glutinous rice home, he asked his wife to get the threshing bucket out. Wash it clean, but Zhou Dong waved his hand and said no.

"You don't need a threshing bucket? Brother Zhou, are you kidding me? Can you know how to threshing? What are you doing?"

Li Xiuchen and his wife were dumbfounded.

Zhou Dong grabbed the ears of rice with one hand, stuffed them into the other hand, stroked them lightly, then clenched his fists a few times, and blew with his mouth, and snow-white round glutinous rice appeared in his palm.

This is so special!
Li Xiuchen walked over with straight eyes, staring at Zhou Dong firmly.In such a short period of time, less than half a catty of glutinous rice has been threshed, which is like a myth.

"Are all the chefs at Kyushu Dingshi so awesome, all of them are small threshing experts?"

Li Xiuchen, who has been thrown in the crops for half his life, is an expert. Like Zhou Dong, he threshed empty-handed without even using a threshing bucket. How strong is his hand?Single youths really can't be bothered.
