Chapter 469 469. Soybean straw and winemaking
As for the dried soybean straw...
Song Sancheng raised his voice: "Tan Tan, there are quite a lot of bean straw here. How about that?" Ask Old Man Li if he can eat his cows.”
If you want to eat them, you can bring him two baskets in two days, but they taste hard and he has to find a way to break them at home. Then feed the cows.
Now there is only one cow in the village, and it is very old. Song Tan responded directly:
"No need to ask, when the beans are harvested, the rest will be given to him."
This stuff is very nutritious, so it is no problem to feed cattle through the winter. Besides, that’s it, how much fertilizer can be prepared? Some can be used as fertilizer.
Just give it all to the old scalpers.
After all, the temperature here starts to drop in November, and the temperature slowly starts to rise until March of next year. In the middle of winter, there are no grass leaves to eat.
…
When the soybeans were almost processed, the seventh cousin estimated the time and called Qiaoqiao again:
"The brewing will start again later, will you still broadcast live?"
Qiao Qiao looked at him warily: "Can the brewing be finished today?"
"Yes."
Cousin Seven can still guarantee this.
Qiaoqiao finally felt relieved, and then started the live broadcast again without saying a word——
[What did I see? The anchor has been on a tear these past two days! 】
【That is to say, I am too diligent, which makes me a little uncomfortable. 】
【Can the brewing be finished today? I can't stand it if this is divided into more segments. 】
【Coming, coming, such a high live broadcast frequency! 】
…
At this time, Qiaoqiao was already standing in front of yesterday’s vat, with a serious face:
“Okay, our sorghum has been soaked——”
He looked at the time: "It has been soaking for 20 hours. The seventh cousin said that the weather is hot, so you don't need to soak for so long. Now let's open the lid -"
It took some effort to fully open the sealed lid. , a stream of wet water vapor hit my face. The seventh cousin reached in and fished out a handful of sorghum. When he saw the sorghum was cooked and blooming, he asked Qiao Qiao to pinch it with his fingers:
"Do you feel it? It's broken as soon as you pinch it. You can soak it now. If it doesn't work, you have to continue soaking."
"In winter, the temperature is low and it cools down quickly, so you have to soak it for 24 hours. ——Come on, boil the water!”
Qiao Qiao quickly put the phone aside and entered the Wangzai state again. At this moment, she put the huge steamer on the stove and fished out the soaked sorghum. Come out and put them all in.
"Wait until the water reaches the atmosphere..."
The seventh cousin suddenly got stuck.
After a while, he added: "It was difficult for us to buy a watch before. We all relied on estimates. Before, I told you about the water temperature based on my guess... This time, when will I say it, I will tell you. Just look at the time and write it down."
Qiaoqiao nodded, and the live broadcast room became lively again:
[Understood. From the experience of the old master]
[I will tell you why the old master was so rigorous last time, and he would take a thermometer to check it from time to time...]
[Technology has affected the use of experience! 】
[The matter of brewing wine is really a matter of a hair's breadth, a thousand miles of error. 】
【In ancient times, there were no such things, and people could still make very good wine. 】
[I dare not deny that the wine is good, but the alcohol content is definitely not high. After all, distillation is still a big problem...]
The barrage chat was in full swing.
At this time, Qiao Qiao had been staring at the watch for a while, until the seventh cousin thought: "Okay." Then he looked at the time, and then announced with a serious face: "Children , are you optimistic about the time? It needs to be steamed for 30 minutes after the air is released.”
"By the way," the seventh cousin added: "We can steam a lot this time and the pot is big, so it only takes half an hour. If you just have fun at home and cook a little, it will take about 15 minutes." It's almost ready - come, take down the sorghum, blow the water in the steamer with a fan to cool it down, and then measure it when I say it's almost done..."
This process is extremely cumbersome. But Qiao Qiao learned very carefully and didn't feel impatient at all.
When the seventh cousin said yes, he looked at the thermometer: "Kids, remember, the water temperature is 85 degrees!"
Then he poured the water back into the sorghum and stirred evenly. Replace lid and seal for 15 minutes.
The next step is to re-steam and let cool...
In the meantime, the seventh cousin said: "Qiao Qiao, bring that rice husk over in a basin and wash it clean - 370 kilograms of sorghum, you can make it 37 pounds of rice husks.”
Then, mix the koji, mix the koji again, collect and saccharify, and cover with rice husks...
Wait until the two people finish the work dripping with sweat. The seventh cousin then sighed with conviction:
“Okay, wait for most of a day, until you smell the sweet smell and grow white hair-like fungi, you can take it out and put it into the cellar.”
At this time, the barrages in the live broadcast room were much less visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Yanping took the opportunity to take a look and was startled, thinking that Qiao Qiao didn’t retain any fans this time?
But look at the number of viewers again - that’s not right, why is it increasing instead of decreasing?
After a long time, a barrage finally came out:
[Are all the anchors finished? (⊙o⊙)Wow, I actually fell asleep! 】
[Ah, I slept so well! 】
【Hey, it’s over when you wake up? 】
[If the friction sound of the last stirring was not too loud, I would not wake up...]
[This is so good for sleeping, I want to save this, I have insomnia. Play it back when the time comes. 】
Zhang Yanping:......
Just... how should I put it, the process may be different from what I imagined, but the result seems to be very different.
When the live broadcast room was closed, he came over curiously:
"Seventh cousin, can we drink this tomorrow?"
"What a nice thing to think about. "The seventh cousin smiled and said: "The aroma will be released tomorrow, and then the lees will be mixed well. Later, you can see if you can put it in a barrel or just dig a cellar and ferment it for twenty or thirty days."
Song Tan also walked over and looked at the pile of rice husks and sorghum in front of him curiously, and then without hesitation:
"We've made wine using local methods, so naturally we have to dig a cellar - haven't we bought the pottery jar? We'll clean it up tomorrow and bury it directly in the ditch in the back garden to use as a cellar."
"Okay. The seventh cousin looked at the pile of lees and said, "We'll see what happens tomorrow. If it smells sweet, it means the wine is ready. If it tastes like alcohol, it's overdone. It probably won't taste good, so there's no need." I've taken the trouble to clean up the cellar."
Song Tan glanced at him and thought that if you always say this, don't act so confident, and don't put 300 in one breath so calmly. All the kilograms of sorghum have been completely processed... This statement is more credible.
I am really not sure. All the sorghum is here this year, and they are the only ones drinking at home. Can the seventh cousin be willing to cook it all in one go?
At this time, the seventh cousin was walking in the yard with his hands behind his back. He walked around twice despite the scorching sun. He still couldn't hold back the expectation and joy in his heart. He quickly asked: "Qiao Qiao, do you want to eat tender corn?" ? If you want to eat, let’s take a basket back.”
The mind is exhausted from being tormented by the cat. I only slept for two hours last night.
Today I went to a different hospital for a re-examination, and the items of the examination were also changed... Still nothing was found.
But it has not eaten or drank for two days, and has vomited several times.
