After the whole network was hacked, she traveled through the small fishing village of Datang

The day after Lan Fenghuang left, Zheng Tian came to the door again.

This time he brought Datang's wine koji here to make corn cob wine with Su Qingqing.

China is the first country in the world to be able to make wine. The reason is that we invented the fermentation wine making technology, and this technology relies on the invention of distiller's yeast.

The origin of distiller's yeast is unknown. The earliest record known so far is in the Zhou Dynasty's "Shu Jing Shuo Ming Pian".

Because the distillation process of the Tang Dynasty was not perfect enough, the alcohol produced by the Tang Dynasty had a very low alcohol content. It is said that the highest alcohol content was no more than a dozen degrees, which was similar to modern beer.

This may be the reason why Li Bai and other literati never got drunk after a thousand cups!

The information Su Qingqing gave Zheng Tian stated that the finished corn cob wine has an alcohol content of forty to fifty degrees.

At first he had no idea what alcoholic content was.

But as smart as he was, he quickly figured it out under Su Qingqing's inaccurate explanation. In addition, Su Qingqing also copied the distillation technology to him.

According to Su Qingqing, the corn cob wine they will brew will be stronger and deeper than any wine brewed by any winery on the market today, which she is very much looking forward to.

The first step in making corn cob wine is to sun-dry or dry the corn cobs.

Su Qingqing has already completed this step. After all, she has been harvesting corn for almost a month.

In addition to keeping dozens of kilograms of fresh corn for daily consumption, she peeled the husks, dried them, dried them and peeled the kernels for storage.

Now they have to do the second step, grind these sun-dried corn cobs into powder and sift out the residue.

Zheng Tian brought a lot of grinding tools, and Su Qingqing already had a stone grinder at home, so they started working together, and the efficiency was very fast.

Then add water to the corncob powder and stir until it feels moist in your hands, but the corncob powder will not clump together.

The next step is to steam the ingredients. Put the mixed corncob powder in a vat and steam it over high heat. Steam for about two hours before it is cooked.

After steaming, pour it on a clean mat and let it cool down to a temperature similar to that of the human body. Then start adding the koji.

For every 100 kilograms of raw materials, 1.75 kilograms of koji are used.

Stir the steamed ingredients and koji evenly, then put them into the prepared wine vat.Because there is no thermometer, the material temperature is also based on the body temperature, which can be controlled to be slightly lower than human body temperature.

Then let it saccharify, which takes a long time, taking nine to ten hours, and a sweet syrup will appear.

After saccharification, you need to wait patiently for the raw materials to ferment, which takes longer, nearly a week.

It was already evening when Zheng Tian and Su Qingqing completed the saccharification step of the raw materials.He did not return to the city, and of course he could not stay overnight. Instead, he went to the nearby Yaliu Villa and stayed at the Chen family.

At noon the next day, after Zheng Tian had snacks at Yaliu Villa, he took the escort maid to the small fishing village to ride horses.

At this time, Su Qingqing happened to be practicing the Dunhuang Feitian Dance. Zheng Tian finished admiring it silently before stepping forward to greet Su Qingqing.

"Qingqing is in such a good mood." It was not too hot at noon, so she danced and played in the flower hall.

Su Qingqing smiled, changed the subject and said, "It's almost time, shall we go to the next song together now?"

Zheng Tian agreed happily: "Okay, please."

Within a month of receiving the corn cob brewing recipe from Su Qingqing, Zheng Tian took advantage of his status as the governor of the governor's office to go to the winery in the county to see how others made wine.

Therefore, he was mainly responsible for the final fermentation step, with Su Qingqing helping from the side. "Brother Taiwen, do you think that if our corn cob wine is successful, then would the people in the small fishing village using this wine and selling it be considered doing business?" Su Qingqing had no idea about the scale of this place.

Zheng Tian replied: "Whether it counts as doing business depends mainly on the volume. Every year during the corn harvest season, we just make a wave of seasonal corn cob wine and sell it for money. This is not doing business and will not be classified as a merchant."

Just like some people in your village will make some straw sandals and bamboo products to sell in the market during the off-season. They are all self-produced agricultural and sideline products. "

Su Qingqing suddenly said: "The goods that farmers produce and sell themselves are not considered commodities. Those who buy and sell them to earn the price difference are considered doing business, right?"

Zheng Tian affirmed: "Yes, it can be understood that way."

Su Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel relieved now."

Zheng Tian looked at her with a faint smile and continued what he was doing.

After filling the jar, Su Qingqing led Zheng Tian to wash his hands.Sui Feng broke away from the reins again and appeared in front of the two of them in a cunning manner.

Zheng Tian could not help but point at it and smile: "It seems that Sui Feng can't wait to ride. How about it? Now that we have finished the wine, it's still early. Would you like Qingqing to learn how to ride a horse? I think you can go to the small fishing village." I go to school on that mountain road, so no one will come here."

Su Qingqing pondered for a moment and then smiled and said: "Okay, let's go and learn! Thank you, Mr. Zheng!"

After saying that, he stretched out his finger and hooked Suifeng, and said: "Since you can't stay idle and refuse to stay in a good stable, and insist on going out to wander around, then come and practice equestrianism with me!"

Sui Feng obviously understood what Su Qingqing said. After hearing this, he raised his head and walked over with a lively look on his face.

As you get closer, you can see a lynx squatting on the horse. It is Banban!
Zheng Tian was surprised and said: "Hey, I didn't expect Suifeng and your lynx to get along so harmoniously."

Su Qingqing laughed loudly: "Yes, they are from the same country."

"Okay, Banban, you come down first and go play by yourself." Su Qingqing grabbed Banban from the horse. The little guy was very unhappy and held on to Su Qingqing's arm.

Su Qingqing said "hmm", raised her eyebrows and said, "If you don't obey me, I'll deduct your dinner!"

Banban was immediately frightened. He let go of his paws dejectedly and looked at Su Qingqing with innocent eyes.

Zheng Tian laughed and helped Su Qingqing lead the horse out of the house, followed by their respective maids and guards.

In fact, this is not a particularly good place for horse training. It would be better if there was an open horse farm. The mountain roads are still too rugged after all.

But the conditions are limited, so let’s make do with it first.

Su Qingqing is also quite talented in horseback riding - the main reason is that Sui Feng on her crotch is willing to cooperate.

With the combination of man and horse, you can learn natural riding skills quickly!
After running back and forth for a few times, Su Qingqing said to Zheng Tian: "Brother Taiwen, let me try it myself. I think it's OK."

Zheng Tian was a little hesitant: "Are you sure you can do it?"

Falling off a horse is no joke. Zheng Tian is not so relieved about Sui Feng's temper.

Su Qingqing said confidently: "Don't worry, I can do it."

After saying that, he patted Sui Feng's horse's head, leaned close to its ear and whispered: "Sui Feng, don't you think so?"

Suifeng naturally gave her a confident snort, and Su Qingqing also said in time: "If you behave well, I will feed you delicious water."
