Chapter 40 Start

"From the fourth family, what is this?" Zhou Dashan looked at the thermometer in Xiao Baoer's hand in surprise.

"Father, look at this! This is called a thermometer, here is zero, and the numbers on the Internet are from ten to one hundred. The small scales in the middle represent one. For example, now, when the black line reaches here, it is seventeen. This means The temperature in this room. Well, to put it simply, it means that the weather is hot and cold!" Xiao Baoer explained briefly, and then taught Zhou Dashan how to recognize it.

Anyway, there are only 0, 10, 20, ..., 100, so there is no need to teach Zhou Dashan the Arabic numerals, just count up.

"What are these used for?" Zhou Dashan took it curiously, and then counted it carefully, feeling surprised after counting.

"In a while, we have to control the temperature when brewing wine." Xiao Baoer said.

"Oh, are you using this to determine?" Zhou Dashan asked.

"Yeah, that's it. It's like making our own liqueur, doesn't it need to be covered with more layers of cloth?" Xiao Baoer said.

"With this, we can directly determine how many layers of cloth to cover? Even people who have never brewed sweet wine, as long as they know how to do it, can they do it?" Zhou Dashan understood immediately.

"That's right, father!" Xiao Bao'er nodded, as expected of a scholar's father, he knew everything.

She began to tell Zhou Dashan about the process again.

"Fourth brother and sister, the barrels are all cleaned up!"

"Sister, the water is boiling!"

"Fourth sibling, it's over!"

Everyone else finished their work.

"Okay, the next process, we need everyone to cheer up and watch. Third brother, you first scoop out some water and put it in the wooden barrel. Mier, turn off the fire in the stove, honey. Son, you add cold water to the pot, and you can add as much as I ask you to. Dad, come and watch, we must maintain this temperature." Xiao Baoer walked to the stove and ordered.

"Okay, okay, sister Yao, don't add any more water, Mi'er, just keep the fire going, and don't add more firewood. Big brother, pour all the ground mince into the pot." Xiao Baoer was a little nervous and a little excited.

To be honest, except for painting, she is relatively weak in other aspects.

Others also felt a little nervous and novel.

In half an hour, Xiao Baoer taught everyone present to read the thermometer, and asked everyone to remember which temperature should be maintained in the first step.

When half an hour was up, Xiao Baoer asked Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang to start filtering.

The filtered sugar juice is in the pot, and another pot is used to heat hot water. After washing the filter residue twice with hot water, mix the filter residue into the sugar juice in the pot.

Add fire to bring the syrup to a boil.

After three quarters of an hour, add hops and cook for half an hour, then add hops and cook for half an hour.

Then pour the hopped solution in the pot into the wooden barrel, put it in the water tank, and stir it rapidly.

After reaching a suitable temperature, put it in the cellar, and use leaves, rotten quilts and other things to maintain a temperature.

"Father, I'll leave this thermometer to you first. You come here every other hour to check the temperature. It must be kept at 23. After ten days, we can proceed to the second process." Xiao Baoer held the thermometer Gave it to Zhou Dashan.

She is very lazy, she is not willing to ask her to come to the ancestral house every other hour every day.

"Okay!" Zhou Dashan said solemnly.

He suddenly felt confident because he smelled some wine just now.
