Getting rich peasant women will turn the world upside down

Chapter 297
If you want to make good wine, koji is very critical and important.

Yueying said, whether the wine is good or not, the koji is the first and most important step. If the koji is not made well, the next steps will be useless no matter how perfect they are.

The production of distiller's yeast is not very complicated, but it is not very simple either.

According to her, her mother taught her how Moon Shadow made distiller's koji, and said that she needed the spicy Polygonum weed from the mountain.

There are a lot of spicy Polygonum grass on the mountain, and it grows at the foot of the mountain, so it is very convenient to collect.When Lin Wan'er went with Yue Ying and Xiao Qi, they picked a lot in one trip.

After the spicy Polygonum grass is harvested, it needs to be sweated, and then the wheat is beaten into small grains, soaked in water for several hours, then boiled, and then placed until it cools down.Afterwards, paste it together with the water of the spicy Polygonum grass, make the paste evenly, cover it with pine needles and put it in a cool place, about half a month or so will be enough.

Afterwards, Lin Wan'er and Yue Ying were busy steaming the sorghum together with wheat, etc. After steaming, they were cooled with cold water, then poured into a large vat, and finally poured the prepared distiller's koji into it.This completes the initial winemaking process.

After finishing all this work, Lin Wan'er was so tired that she couldn't straighten up.She didn't expect that brewing wine by herself would be so troublesome and tiring, but this is not over, and she still needs to get grapes later.

In fact, there is no need to use sorghum and wheat to make pure wine, but Lin Wan'er is worried that people here are not used to drinking pure wine, so she plans to try the combination of wine and ordinary rice wine first.

After processing all the grapes and starting to make wine, Lin Wan'er and Yue Ying could finally take a break.

Like Lin Wan'er, Yueying hasn't had a good rest in the past two days.

Yueying didn't know what the wine tasted like, but Lin Wan'er seemed to think it tasted delicious, so she expressed her expectation.

After more than half a month, Lin Wan'er and Yueying went to see rice wine first.

The rice wine was well brewed, with a strong aroma. Yueying tasted it a little and found that the taste was very good, and it was even better than the ones she drank in the capital.

"Miss, it's delicious." Moon Shadow said with a smile.

"Really?" Lin Wan'er also tasted it, and found that it didn't have the dry, bitter and spicy taste that she disliked very much. Instead, it was very mellow and tasted very good. "Well, it really tastes good." She thought, probably because of the space water used when steaming the sorghum, the taste is several grades higher than those sold outside.

Then came the wine.

The grapes are really grown from the space, so the taste of the wine surprised Moon Shadow even more.She never thought that grapes could actually make wine, and the taste of this wine was very good, which she had never tasted before.

"How is it, Yue Ying?" Lin Wan'er waited for Yue Ying's evaluation.

Yue Ying was a little excited, her eyes lit up when she looked at Lin Wan'er, "Miss, you are so amazing, you actually know how to make wine from grapes, and it's delicious, very suitable for a girl's family to drink."

The taste of the wine is sweeter and the alcohol content is lower. It is really suitable for girls who don't know much about drinking and drink it at home.

Lin Wan'er has also drank modern wines a few times, but she feels that the wines they make are better than the ones she has drunk before.
