Chapter 82 082 Eat Chicken
The harvesting was gradually completed as time passed day by day.

Half of Lin's time was harvesting wheat, and half of the time was harvesting rice in the rice fields.

Of course, when there is something in the shop, it will also deal with it, and the operation of the wine room will not be affected by the harvest.

Ten days later, all the grain was received in the warehouse, and five days later, all the grain was received in the warehouse, and the tax was paid, and the rice was replaced with wheat, and some grain was bought from the market and put in the warehouse. In the village and in the granary at home.

Because the wheat was harvested, Jiang Wenzhu spent the next time making wine with all his heart.

Because I have made wheat wine before, I am very familiar with the steps of wine.

First, prepare the raw materials: wheat, koji, water;

Then, after the wheat is sun-dried or dried on a kang, it is ground into fine powder with water or stone mill, and the dross is sieved.

Spread the sieved wheat core powder on the drying mat, add warm water and stir, the water consumption is controlled at 50-90 kg for every 100 kg of raw materials, and after stirring well, it will feel moist but not agglomerated by hand.

Put the stirred material into the cooking pot, but before loading the cooking pot, steam the empty cooking pot for a while, and put the material into the cooking pot to steam after the steam flow rises for 5 minutes.During operation, one layer of air should be added, one layer of ingredients should be added, and the ingredients should be added to the upper end of the cooking pot in sequence. After steaming until the sweat is loosened, it can be steamed within four hours.

Add water to the steamer, put the wheat on a plate, or put a steamer cloth on it, after the water boils, steam it on low heat for three to 10 minutes, until it is thoroughly steamed;
Take out the wheat and spread it out, let it dissipate heat, reach the normal temperature, and keep it below [-] degrees.The water for steaming wheat can be used to scald the container while it is hot, and then prepare a spoon to scald it to remove the bacteria.

Weigh the koji, dissolve it with pure water in the container that was scalded in the previous step, and use a scalded spoon to prevent contamination by bacteria.

When the temperature of the wheat grains cools down and the bottom of the plate is not hot to the touch, add the koji and stir well.The surface is pressed flat and sealed.

Then, put it in a warm place to ferment. Depending on the temperature, it generally takes more than 8 to 12 days for the fermentation to mature.Wrap towels or blankets to keep warm in winter, and prolong the fermentation time appropriately.

Final distillation: The fermented grains are well fermented, measured with an alcohol meter, the degree can be distilled at 8-10 degrees, and the distilled is wheat liquor, just get the degree you want.

The finished wine has a degree of 40-80 degrees, white color, aroma and mellow taste.

Jiang Wenzhu was so familiar with this set of procedures that he couldn't be more familiar with it, so it actually took a little time to do it, it didn't take much effort, and it wasn't difficult.

Jiang Wenzhu made several large wine jars, each jar can hold 30-50 catties, and eight jars were made.

It took two days to complete the merits and virtues, and you only need to wait for 20 days to get the barley wine.

"Little sister, is the wine ready? When can I drink it?" Jiang Wenshan asked.

"About half a month." Jiang Wenzhu said, "Actually, I don't know whether the brew is good or not. I will send a few jars to the border."

Speaking of which, she can brew many kinds of wine, but she doesn't like to drink. Jiang Wenshan often drinks the wine she brews.

Jiang Wenshan's capacity for alcohol is not good, but over the years, his capacity for alcohol has also been practiced, but when he drinks it is only for judging, it is enough to know roughly the strength and quality of the wine, and he does not want the kind of alcohol capacity that will not get drunk after a thousand glasses.

As for Jiang Wenzhu, basically except for cooking with some shochu, she never drinks alcohol at other times.

Jiang Wenshan nodded: "Okay, I'll taste the brew when it's ready, and if it's good, I'll send it to General Wei."

"I just don't know how much the production of this wine is? For fruit wine, just add water and use more koji, but the barley wine is not sure, the most important thing is to spend wheat." Jiang Wenhu said.

Jiang Wenbao said: "Not necessarily. Some fruits are quite expensive. In fact, the cost is higher than that of wheat. For example, cherries, red bayberries... If they really taste good, let's make a few more wines."

"No." Jiang Wenzhu categorically denied, "These fruits are more expensive than wheat, and we can only make these fruit wines for sale."

Fruits are not enough after all. The fruits in farmers' homes are basically seasonal fruits, and these fruits are at most satisfying hunger and cannot replace food.

And those expensive fruits, who is willing to eat them?Basically exchange it for money.

For those who can afford these fruits, who lacks so much food?
Therefore, using ordinary fruits to make wine can make a lot of profit when sold.

Wines made from precious fruits are sold at a higher price than ordinary fruits, and some make a profit, at least not with a lot of grain added in. In this case, the poor can eat less food, although without them The life of the poor who make wine may not necessarily become more difficult, but they pay more taxes.

The effect can be achieved by using fruit, why use food?Even if she wants to use grain, she will not use a large amount of grain to make wine and sell it, and solve the problem from the root cause. This is the ideological awareness she should have as a modern person.

Unless she can find high-yielding grain seeds, grain will no longer be a condition for wine making. At that time, there will be no hungry people in the world, so it doesn't matter.

Lin said: "Yes, your little sister is right, you must not make a large amount of wheat wine."

"Okay, if you don't want to brew it, don't brew it. Let's make some at home and use it." Jiang Wenbao said.

She just thought that the price of wheat was lower than that of those fruits, and the family might be able to earn a little more. She didn't think about other problems, in fact, she had no other thoughts.

"Then what shall we have for dinner?" Jiang Wenyan said, "How about eating duck?"

Compared with chicken, Jiang Wenyan prefers to eat duck.

"Ducks are cold, you have called it the third time this month. If we continue to eat it, you will eat it four times a month. Can you eat it again, or don't you want to eat it?" Jiang Wenzhu said.

It is also the poultry raised at home. In her opinion, there is no difference between ducks and chickens. However, her younger brother likes to eat ducks very much, so she won't listen to them.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the smile on Jiang Wenyan's face disappeared, but he didn't say anything against it, and nodded reluctantly.

He also knew that it was not good for him to be like this, but he just couldn't help it. However, his education at home had taught him that any unreasonable request would not be agreed to.

He has done this before, but as long as it is unreasonable, everyone will explain it to him, until he understands it, and then no matter if he plays around, or acts like a baby, or uses other methods, in short, it is all right. He will not agree to his unreasonable demands, and he is very principled.
