Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 5 Brewing and Noodles

Since Wang Pingan bluffed in Juxianglou, saying that he wants to make wine, which is better than Juxianglou, so today there are many more winemaking tools and several generations of sorghum.

Looking at these things, Wang Pingan began to use the knowledge he had learned in the 21st century. There are seven steps in winemaking: raw material crushing, batching, cooking and gelatinization, cooling, mixing grains, cellar fermentation, and wine steaming.

"Uncle Liu, I can't do it alone, so I need a few people to help." Wang Pingan asked Liu Tie for help because of the shortage of manpower.

"I'm going to ask the owner and Liu Han to come and help."

"Ah, let the owner come here, will he make a fuss out of a molehill." Wang Pingan was shocked by Liu Tie's fuss.

Soon Liu Tie brought Liu Honglei and Liu Han to Liu Tie's house.

"Ping An, I heard that you need help, we are here to help you." Liu Honglei said.

"Thank you, owner." Wang Pingan said flattered.

"If you have anything, just tell me. Haha." Liu Honglei smiled boldly.

"Then I'm not polite, owner, Uncle Liu, Uncle Han. Let's put the materials in the yard first."

"Okay." The three said in unison.

Wang Pingan washed the sorghum first, soaked it in cold water for about an hour, asked Liu Tie to light a fire in the backyard, and then asked Liu Han to put a big pot on the fire, put a cage on the big pot, and put a clean drawer on the pot. cloth, let the owner Liu Honglei steam the sorghum directly on the drawer cloth, put the steamed sorghum in a clean tank, wait for cooling down, and then put the koji in proportion.

This is the most critical step in the whole brewing process. The amount of koji is directly related to the taste of the wine. While making it, Wang Pingan explained to the three people in detail. You can also open a wine production line, and the whole Tang Dynasty will share our wine, and it will be impossible not to release it.

Liu Tie was the person who treated him the best when he came to Datang. He had already regarded Liu Tie as his relative, so there was nothing he couldn't say, as long as Liu Tie needed it, he could go up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire.

The sorghum added with distiller's yeast should be stirred continuously until it is evenly mixed, then pressed firmly, and a hole is dug in the middle so that it is easier to see when the wine is released, and finally put into the cellar

When the work was done, it was already dark. Looking at the sky outside, Wang Pingan excitedly said to Liu Tie and the others: "Uncle Liu, the owner of the estate, and Uncle Han, the wine needs to be distilled to drink after five days. Wait five days."

"This is the end. Brewing wine is so simple, and we can make wine in the future." Liu Han said excitedly.

"Uncle Han, this is just sorghum wine. There are also rice wine, wine, and many other wines that can be brewed. They are all similar. The last distillation is the key. I will finish this device tomorrow." Wang Pingan said.

"Gollum..."

The sound of drumming in the stomach made everyone laugh, and Wang Ping'an lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"My nephew sees that it's getting late, why don't some boys finish the pasta for all the uncles."

"It's better, it's better to only beggar chicken." Liu Han said, but he never forgot the beggar chicken.

"No problem, I'll go and see what materials are in the kitchen first." Wang Pingan went to the kitchen after speaking, followed by three foodies.

In the kitchen, Wang Pingan found shallots, minced garlic, vinegar, and a red sauce that smelled so fragrant, it should be bean paste, and there were fresh noodles. It was a coincidence that there was no need to knead noodles.

"Uncle Han, there are no chickens in this kitchen. Help me kill a chicken, and find a few lotus leaves and a little wet soil. Otherwise, there is no way to make a beggar's chicken, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice." Wang Pingan said to Liu Han.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

"Owner, Uncle Liu, let me make noodles for you first. Even if you start cooking Beggar Chicken, it will take some time to wait."

"Okay, we're waiting."

What Wang Pingan wants to do is actually the simplest noodles, mainly to save time and trouble, who makes himself hungry.

Wang Ping'an put the live noodles in hot water for a few times, took them out and poured them in cold water, and put them in a big bowl, which was about the size of a small washbasin.Wang Pingan took 4 small bowls, picked up chopsticks, and fished the bowls from the big basin into the small bowls.Then sprinkle chopped green onion, mashed garlic, pour in vinegar and bean paste, stir evenly, and a bowl of fragrant noodles comes out of the oven.

"Uncle, I don't know how it tastes, so I'll try it first, and I'll tell you if it's delicious." After speaking, he stuffed the noodles into his mouth, because they had been in cold water, so they weren't hot at all, and they were sour. Can't stop mouthing after eating.

The throats of Liu Tie and Liu Honglei kept throbbing, and their eyes were fixed on Wang Pingan holding a small bowl to eat. Hearing the sound of Wang Pingan sucking noodles, his hands were eager to grab the small bowl and eat it himself.

Regardless of Sanqi 21, Liu Tie and Liu Honglei picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and put the noodles into the bowl like Wang Ping'an, then added chopped green onion, chopped green onion, garlic paste, vinegar and bean paste, and started to eat after a few stirs.

Putting a chopstick of noodles into his mouth, his eyes brightened up instantly. The wind and clouds cannot describe the speed with which the two ate noodles. A small bowl of noodles was finished in two mouthfuls, and then they were scooped up from the big bowl.After two more bites, I repeated it almost five times, and finally put down the bowl and chopsticks in satisfaction.

Wang Pingan held the noodles with the chopsticks, put the chopsticks in his mouth, and kept his mouth open. He stared blankly at the expressions of the two eating the noodles, already stunned, and only reacted when they were relieved of the bowl and chopsticks.

"Uncle Liu, owner, there are eight catties of noodles. That's all I can eat. What if Uncle Han doesn't have enough to eat later?" Wang Pingan looked at the noodles in the big bowl with a wry smile on his face.

Hearing Wang Ping'an's words, Liu Honglei and Liu Tie smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.

"I lost my composure, I lost my composure for a bowl of noodles. It's all your fault, Ping An." Liu Honglei shamelessly shifted the responsibility to Wang Pingan.

"Me?" Wang Pingan pointed at himself, annoyed and funny, he ate so happily, and even blamed himself.

"That's right, I never knew. Pasta can still be eaten like this. After one bite, it's sour and appetizing. The more you eat, the more you want to eat it, and you can't stop eating." Liu Tie said.

"Thank you Uncle Liu for your compliment. This is just a simple mixing of the seasonings. If you want to eat it next time, you can add some meat. It will be more delicious."

"What's going on. Owner, big brother, you've already finished eating. Do you have any for me?" Liu Han returned to the kitchen and had already shaved and washed the chicken: "Here, safe, this is what you want."

After giving the things to Wang Ping'an.Liu Han picked up the last bowl of noodles on the table.It was the last noodle that Wang Pingan took out of the big bowl, and the seasoning had already been put in, so Liu Han picked it up and ate it.

Once in the mouth, Liu Han couldn't stop his chopsticks, and finished eating in two bites: "Ping An, do you have any more noodles, I'm not full enough."

Wang Pingan pointed to Liu Tie and Liu Honglei with his fingers, and then spread his hands.It means that they have eaten all of them, and there is nothing left.

Looking at Liu Tie and Liu Honglei who looked satisfied, with intense anger in their eyes, they could only sigh impatiently and said: "Cook it for me next time, and help me make Beggar Chicken now."

"Ah."

Wang Ping'an looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, there were some congregation and sauce, and a little cooking wine, and mixed the ingredients well to coat the inside and outside of the chicken.Let Liu Han wash the lotus leaves.Take a piece of fresh lotus leaf and wrap the chicken and ingredients together.After the chicken is wrapped in lotus leaves, wet mud is attached, and the lotus leaf chicken is wrapped in it, and finally the mud is put on the fire to roast.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the two finally passed the beggar chicken test.Knock the mud open, open the lotus leaf, and the fragrant beggar chicken will be exposed, even more fragrant than the last time.

When the two were about to start eating, they were both slapped in the back at the same time, and they heard Liu Tie and Liu Honglei say at the same time: "If there is something delicious, don't call me, just ask for a slap."

"No, it's not that you two are already full." Liu Han said with a bit of resentment.

"Who said, I'm only half full, and I can eat a whole chicken," Liu Tie said.

Come on, listening to this, Beggar Chicken is thinking about it again, no matter what, let's grab a leg first.

Wang Pingan didn't care whether it was dirty or not, wrapped his hands in his clothes, tore off a chicken leg and said, "One chicken leg is enough for me, and you have three points left." After speaking, he took the chicken leg and walked to the side.

Liu Han saw that Tianci tore a chicken leg and walked away from him, and he also wanted to tear a chicken leg and walk away.But it was too late, and Liu Tie took it away.

"It's enough for you to eat one wing, and the rest will belong to us." After speaking, Liu Tie tore a chicken wing for Liu Han, and a chicken leg for Liu Honglei: "Master, I'll give you the chicken leg."

After giving the chicken wings and drumsticks, no matter how fast others were, he just took a bite and took the rest for himself.

Under Wang Ping'an's ignorance, Liu Han's resentment, Liu Honglei's bold laughter, and Liu Tie's satisfaction, a beggar's chicken feast is over
