Chapter 262 The Way of Winemaking Without Thresholds

“In fact, it is really not difficult to make koji, as long as you mix flour with these herbal juices and knead it.”

“Flour is… a medium, and the bacteria in the air will naturally fall on it and multiply.”

“With Polygonum vulgare, it can be ensured that the roots used to make wine are reproduced on it: molds and yeasts.”

Wu Tianyi was really curious to see them, and explained to them.

“It turns out that it’s that simple to make a koji, isn’t it that an individual can make wine”

Teacher He was surprised.

The threshold for winemaking is too low.

“Theoretically, as long as you have food, you can make wine.”

“But it tastes good, it’s… another matter.”

Wu Tianyi said lightly.

There is really no threshold for making koji, and all alcohol is considered to be alcohol, but the taste is very different.

“When you say that, I am more interested.”

Huang Lei said excitedly.

I have painstakingly researched and created a very good winemaking recipe.

“Don’t be idle, just knead this dough into glutinous rice balls-sized noodles.”

While talking, Wu Tianyi had kneaded the flour in the bowl into a suitable dry and wet dough, and gave up the position to the two.

“Okay, this job is simple.”

Huang Lei and Teacher He started to work enthusiastically.

And Wu Tianyi is not idle either.

He opened the basket he was about to come and put a layer of dry straw under it.

“You just put the dough you kneaded directly into this basket.”

Wu Tianyi pointed to the arranged basket and said.

“What’s the way here?”

Huang Lei asked while putting the dough.

He felt that the specially arranged basket must have something special.

“This is to provide conditions for the growth and reproduction of bacteria.”

“The growth and reproduction of bacterial species requires a dark, windy and humid environment and a certain temperature to promote their rapid reproduction.”

“And the dry straw in the basket satisfies this condition.”

“Just put it next to the dried rice, and the temperature conditions are also met.”

Wu Tianyi explained to them again.

Huang Lei and Teacher He nodded as they listened, wishing to take out a pen and paper to take notes.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Haha, the two teachers look like us when they are in class.”

“Isn’t Brother Bing giving a lecture? I was stunned when I heard it. I didn’t expect to watch a live broadcast and learn a skill.”

“These are all knowledge points, classmates!”

“Still: I miss the class a bit during the holidays.”

“Di, your vacation balance is insufficient, please recharge in time!”

“Fuck, why do you want to report the worst news!”

……”I have a question.”

Huang Lei raised his hand and said.

“Say it.”

Wu Tianyi gestured.

“How can it meet the temperature requirements when placed next to the rice”

Huang Lei asked.

“Because the rice has to breathe, it will naturally generate heat. If it is placed in a confined place, it can increase the local temperature.”

Wu Tianyi answered directly.

He didn’t even need to think about such small problems.

“Then it’s done now”

Teacher He is a little unbelievable.

In just a few minutes, the koji is ready to be completed, and there is no difficulty at all.

“Now just wait for it to grow with hyphae.”

Wu Tianyi nodded and said.

In fact, if you want to get the koji faster, you need a step of dipping the old koji, so that the root: mold and yeast can be quickly inoculated to the new koji.

But he doesn’t have the old koji now, so he can only wait for the bacteria in the air to naturally fall on it.

Although this method is slower, the effect is no different.

“Then let’s just wait for the koji to make wine and drink it. How long will we have to wait?”

Huang Lei rubbed his hands in excitement, as if he could drink alcohol soon.

“Two or three days, it doesn’t take too long.”

Wu Tianyi replied.

“Great, we can still afford this time.”

Huang Lei and Teacher He said excitedly.

The two of them held the covered bamboo basket and hurriedly ran to place it.

Wu Tianyi saw that the two were excited like children, jumping and jumping when they ran, and shook his head amusedly.

“Great God Tianyi, I will knead this side for you, what do you think?”

When Wu Tianyi walked to the place where he kneaded the noodles, Xiao Yueyue excitedly presented him with treasures.

Wu Tianyi stretched out his hand and pressed it.The rice noodles feel very soft and smooth, but not as elastic as dough. One press is… a pit, without rebound at all.

“Not bad. Go and find a bamboo tube with a big mouth.”

He nodded, affirming the fruits of Xiao Yueyue’s labor.

It is no longer easy to grind rice noodles like this.

“okay.”

The happy soul of Xiao Yueyue who was praised was about to float to the sky, and excitedly went to find what Wu Tianyi asked for.

“You go and boil a pot of boiling water, and then prepare a big bucket of cold water.”

Wu Tianyi said to Peng Peng who had nothing to do next to him.

“Got it.”

Peng Peng, who got the task, immediately began to get busy.

“Bamboo tubes are here.”

Xiao Yueyue returned with a bamboo tube, followed by several curious female stars.

Looking at their excitement, you know that Xiao Yueyue ran to them to show off, and then attracted them.

“Brother Tianyi, do you want to make rice noodles”

Xiao Ju excitedly said.

Just like noodles are popular in the north, noodles are also popular in the south.

Xiaoju is a native of Xichuan, and he still likes to talk to fans.

“Yes, wait: it will be done.”

Wu Tianyi took the bamboo tube in Xiao Yueyue’s hand and nodded.
