Chapter 156 Experiment
Haoyue: The wines on the market now are all turbid wines. Doctor Wang likes to have a drink occasionally at night. Meixiang once secretly tasted a sip and never wanted to try it again. Not only is the color turbid, but the taste is also very bland. She can't help but miss the various fine wines she saw in the 21st century.
Meixiang had never actually brewed wine, but she just remembered that she happened to learn about distillation in a modern high school class. Out of curiosity, she found a few books and watched videos. By the way, she also took some general notes. She remembered that the quality of wine was related to the grain, water and koji. It seemed that the longer the fermentation time, the stronger the wine would be.
A few days ago, Liu Xuanyi had sent some food and the existing wine yeast on the market to the empty room specially reserved for Liu Mansion when it was dark and not very conspicuous. This time, the Liu Mansion was renovated and expanded, and the winemaking workshop, pharmacy, conference room, warehouse, and even the smelting room were reserved.
The most thoughtful thing was that he also found a couple, the Zhang couple, who were now doing odd jobs in his shop. After asking around, he learned that their family used to make wine. Later, during the chaotic times, it was difficult to have enough food, let alone enough to make wine. Hearing that Meixiang was adjusting the grain for the purpose of making wine, he brought the couple to Liu's house.
Meixiang was overjoyed. What she lacked most now was manpower. Liu Xuanyi solved her urgent problem and brought her a pillow just when she was sleepy.
Early the next morning, Situ Yidong and his servant and his iron smelting friend Chen Tiesheng used a grain cart to bring the steamer made according to Meixiang's sketch.
"Brother Situ Shi, are you sure you gave the blueprint of my painting to Brother Chen Shi? Did you keep it for yourself?" Meixiang asked Situ Yidong in amazement as she looked at the thing the three men carried in.
"I swear to give him everything, and I explained everything as you said." Upon hearing this, Situ Yidong hurriedly clarified. He always put his utmost care into his sister Xiang'er's affairs, so how could he keep anything to himself?
Uh, Meixiang looked at Situ Yidong and then at Chen Tiesheng, who looked like he was doing what you said, and secretly touched her nose. Is it any wonder that her paintings were so incomprehensible? For the first time, she began to doubt her ability.
Everyone laughed at Meixiang, who was rarely defeated. They didn't expect that the eldest princess, who was always capable and full of ideas, would have something she couldn't show off.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business first. After dinner, come to my study and I'll explain to you exactly what this thing is and how it works. Well, just use this for now. You can think about it carefully later."
Although Meixiang felt a little embarrassed, she did not get angry. She thought she had some tolerance. It was just that he did not understand what she was drawing. She could just draw it a few more times and explain it in detail. It was no big deal.
After figuring it out, Meixiang quickly directed everyone to help put it up and adjust it. The Zhangs put the fermented food into the steamer and started heating it. Because it was the first time, in order to prevent unnecessary waste, the fermented food was not much, but it was enough to make the people who joined the Liu Mansion later feel distressed.
"Miss, can we really make wine by adding this thing? If not, won't the grain be wasted?" Mrs. Zhang asked cautiously. This is the food ration for an ordinary family for ten days.
Meixiang smiled and comforted him: "The process and raw materials are correct. If it still doesn't work, we can try a few more times. It will always work. Experiments always have to pay a price, right? You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb."
"Woo woo..." Fat Tiger and Little Fat, who were rarely seen, came over without knowing it. When they heard the word "wolf", they instinctively felt that it was not a good thing and started to protest.
"Ha, sorry, I'm not talking about you, just an analogy. Hey, when did you two come back?" Meixiang heard the voice and looked down to see the two little ones who had rubbed against her, and exclaimed in surprise.
Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Duzhong glared at Doctor Wang who was standing next to him. The great wine praised so highly in the letter turned out to be just a pie in the sky - something that hadn't even come true.
"Hmph!" Doctor Lonely snorted heavily at him, glared at him again, then turned and left back to his own yard.
Doctor Wang touched his nose knowing that he was in the wrong, and without any arrogance he usually displayed, he went back obediently to help.
The beautiful woman looked at her daughter, who was acting like a tomboy and shouting orders here and there. If the mistress hadn't held her back, she would have rolled up her sleeves and done it herself.
"Oh, oh." The beautiful woman sighed deeply and asked Chen Ma beside her with sorrow: "Li Niang, look at this, how can she look like a girl at all?"
Nanny Chen glanced at the busy and cheerful crowd and gently patted the beautiful woman's hand: "Miss, if I were to say, it's good for you to be like this. Haven't you seen enough of those fake beauties in the capital who have stern faces and put on airs all day long? It's so good to be like this, and live a real and comfortable life. Besides, you're not afraid that no one will want you, right?"
"Just pamper her." The beautiful woman raised her hand and gently hit Nanny Chen's arm. Oh, since everyone pampers her, then just pamper her. Isn't she just a little bit frivolous? Isn't she just a little lacking in the dignity of a lady from a noble family? Oh, let it be. Such a heavy burden is on her. It's rare for her to relax and not spoil her mood. As a girl, she can do whatever she wants in the boudoir for a few years. Oh.
The beautiful lady and Nanny Chen sighed and turned away, leaving the children to do whatever they wanted here.
After some tossing and turning and under the gaze of dozens of eyes, a few drops of water finally rolled out of the bamboo tube connected to the steamer.
"Oh yeah, it's out, it's really out!"
"It looks like there's a chance, there's a chance!"
Everyone cheered in unison, pretending not to care but actually staring at Meixiang in the steamer. At this moment, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even if there were only a few drops, it was good as long as they came out.
The amount of wine produced is a bit small, only enough for a tea bowl in total.
"Come out? Come out?"
"Come on, come on, give it to me to try." Doctor Wang and Gu Duzhong, who had rushed over after hearing the noise, squeezed to the front without caring about their image, and shouted loudly while panting.
There were many people but not enough wine. Everyone wanted to taste what Meixiang's wine tasted like, and they all stared at the bowl of Meixiang's noodles. Xiaosan was smart and brought another bowl.
Meixiang poured one-fifth of the wine in the bowl and handed it to Doctor Wang. "It's a little too little for the first time. If you don't mind, how about everyone taking a sip and seeing how it goes?"
