MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 266 steamed wine

  Chapter 266 Steaming Wine

  Watching the people in front of the camera drinking peach blossom wine one after another, the audience in the live broadcast chatted a lot.

   "Brother Yi, is there anything else you don't know?"

   "Is it okay to make some rice wine? Every household here can make it."

   "It's not fun to drink homemade wine!"

   "See if the needle doesn't poke, if only I could taste it."

   "Have any Hakka people tell me, is Hakka rice wine really so delicious? If it is really delicious, I can place an order."

   "I am a Hakka! I have been drinking Tumijiu since I was a child, and I never get tired of drinking it. It is also very good for the body.

But what we drink is homemade rice wine, and we rarely buy rice wine sold outside, but you can try Xiaogan’s Shenglong rice wine, which produces rice wine that is close to the taste of drinks, even if you don’t drink it people can accept. "

Liu Yifei could also see the barrage in the live broadcast room. When someone mentioned Shenglong rice wine, she nodded and said, "Shenglong rice wine is really delicious. I also drank a bite of rice brew from it. It's sweet and delicious. Appetizing."

  Hearing her words, Zhao Jinmai glanced at her, then suddenly pointed at her and asked, "Sister Yifei, why is your face so red?"

  Liu Yifei was drinking rice wine, she was taken aback when she heard this: "Is there any?"

   "Yes! Are you drunk? It seems that you are lying on your face."

  Zhao Jinmai took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera as a mirror, and took a picture of her.

  Liu Yifei looked at herself in the mirror, and found that her cheeks were really flushed, as if she had drunk too much wine.

   "Huh? I didn't drink much either?"

   She was a little puzzled.

   "How many bowls have you had?" Li Yi asked her.

   "This is the third bowl."

  Liu Yifei picked up the bowl in her hand as a gesture.

  Looking at Li Yi, there was only one bottom left in the bowl.

   "You drink too fast, stop drinking."

  Li Yi took her bowl and explained: "Three bowls are already equivalent to a bottle of beer. If you drink so fast, of course you will get drunk soon."

   "I don't feel it."

  Liu Yifei glanced at the bottom of the bowl, it was the first time that she felt unfinished about drinking.

   "Hic!"

   Wu Lei burped.

  He kept silent, but drank four bowls in one go.

   "Stop drinking too, what if you get drunk for a while?"

  Li Yi took the steamer and the heaven and earth pot from the side, handed them to him and said: "You wash them all, let's try to steam some wine."

  Following that, he went to the storage room and took out another can of peach blossom wine. With the assistance of Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, he poured out the puree of the wine.

   After refilling a basin full of wine, Wu Lei also washed the steamer and the heaven and earth pot.

   Taking the ground pot from his hand, Li Yi put the ground pot on the stove, and then poured the wine from the basin into the ground pot.

   Afterwards, he buckled the retort up, with the small end facing up, and then inserted the lower wine outlet pipe into the hole left on the side of the retort, and the gaskets on both sides were tightly seamed.

   There is a funnel for receiving wine on the inside of the wine outlet pipe. Li Yi adjusted it to the center of the retort, and then put the Tianguo on it.

   "Go get some ice from the freezer."

  Li Yi turned on the stove and gave Wu Lei instructions.

   Soon, Wu Lei brought a whole bag of frozen ice cubes.

  Li Yi had already filled half a pan of cold water into the Tianguo, seeing Wu Lei brought ice cubes, Li Yi asked him to put the ice cubes into the Tianguo.

  Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai watched curiously. They really wanted to know how to use such a simple tool to steam high-quality wine.

  After setting up the Tianguo, Li Yi brought some gauze, soaked it in water, and stuffed it in the contact between the steamer and the Tianguo, blocking all the gaps and keeping it sealed.

  Following, he took several prepared glass beakers, placed them next to the wine outlet, and waited quietly.

  In the live broadcast room, it was the first time for many viewers to see someone using this traditional tool to steam wine, and they were curiously discussing in the barrage area.

   "Can it work? This tool looks rough?"

   "Why does it feel like steamed buns?"

   "Isn't this the rice steamer from my hometown? Can it be used to steam wine?"

   "I'm a professional in wine making. Although this set looks a bit old, it can really steam wine."

  Because of the curiosity of the audience, the flame on the stove was steaming, the temperature in the ground pot began to rise gradually, and the puree of wine inside was also heated up little by little.

  As the temperature of the wine in the ground pot increased, it gradually exceeded 78.3°C, and drops of transparent wine began to drip out of the wine outlet pipe.

   Seeing wine dripping out, Wu Lei couldn't help exclaiming: "There's wine!"

   "Don't be surprised."

  Li Yi complained, and aimed the beaker at the spout.

   Soon, the original drop by drop of wine gradually began to increase, and after a while it converged into a trickle.

  The smell of wine with the fragrance of peach blossoms began to permeate, Zhao Jinmai leaned closer to smell it curiously, and immediately retreated, covering his nose.

   "It's baijiu!"

  She looked disgusted.

   "This is soju."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Baijiu refers to white rice wine in ancient times. This kind of distilled liquor appeared in the Han Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was called Liujiu. After the Song Dynasty, it was called Shaojiu. In modern times, it was changed to Baijiu. "

  Hearing what he said, Wu Lei asked with some doubts: "I seem to have heard that distilled liquor was introduced into China in the Yuan Dynasty? Why did it exist in the Han Dynasty?"

   "This statement was recorded by the Qing people, but whether it is true or not is still unclear."

  Li Yi looked at the wine flowing out of the wine outlet, and explained: "It is recorded in "Dianhai Yuheng Zhi" written by Tan Cui in the Qing Dynasty that the famous wine dew covered with shochu was introduced to China in the early Yuan Dynasty, and Chinese people drank shochu everywhere.

   Zhang Mu’s "Food and Drink Distinction" also mentioned that shochu is also called fire wine, and this wine is not an ancient method. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people from Siam and the Netherlands began to spread the method in China.

  This is the evidence studied by scholars in the Qing Dynasty, but modern scholars have found through a lot of textual research that there were already distillers in the Song Dynasty to distill flower dew.

  The term shochu appeared for the first time in the Tang Dynasty. In Bai Juyi's poem, he wrote the phrase that the lychee is newly ripened, and the shochu is just amber.

  Among the famous wines listed by Li Zhao in "Guo Shi Bu", there is a famous wine called Jiannan Zhishaochun, which is the predecessor of Jiannanchun, a famous wine in Sichuan Province. "

   "Huh? I thought Jiannanchun was a modern brand, so it existed in the Tang Dynasty?"

  Zhao Jinmai was surprised.

  Li Yi smiled and explained: "In fact, the modern winery found a famous wine brand from an ancient book, borrowed the name, and created a new modern brand.

  The taste and brewing method actually have nothing to do with Jiannan Shaochun in the Tang Dynasty. The brand operates! "

"I knew it."

  Zhao Jinmai laughed and teased: "Brother Yi, you have exposed the old man! Don't accept the lawyer's letter."

   "Not so much."

  Li Yi didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "It's not like this family does it, doesn't it all play like this?

  Everyone is for publicity. When it comes to the taste and craftsmanship of wine, modern times have already surpassed ancient wine by thousands of miles.

  The reason why the name of ancient wine is called is to sell more money! "
