Xu Qing looked at Li Changting suspiciously and heard Fu Xitang laugh twice: "I lost playing mahjong!"
Xu Qing's expression cracked a little. Li Changting comforted her and said, "it's OK. I've earned him several thousand taels of silver."
Xu Qing's instant resurrection is OK, OK.
The fruit wine of qingtingfang is so famous that it's no surprise that Fu Xitang will think about it. There is no fruit in this season. It's the reason why Fu Xitang has a lot of contacts to find these two baskets of grapes in Lanzhou.
He didn't know the grape grower, but the grape grower knew him, so he found a buyer in a word.
Xu Qing twisted a grape, peeled it and tasted it: "Oh, it's very sweet!"
Fu Xitang: "the grapes here ripen early, and it doesn't rain much in summer. The grape growers are careful. Although they don't look good, they taste good."
Xu Qing: "that's it."
It's a bit embarrassing because there's no medicine. There's no pesticide and fertilizer here. It's good that what you grow at home can grow like this.
Fu Xitang said to Li Changting, "I also bought two big wine jars. You can teach me how to brew grapes later. When we get there, we'll have wine to drink."
Xu Qing: "how can it be so fast? It will take at least two months. If you want to brew better, you can drink it half a year or a year later."
Fu Xitang: "the place we are going to is too hot. Maybe it won't last so long. Anyway, you can brew it after a month."
Xu Qing thought, "yes, but the grapes have to be washed. We don't have so much water to waste on board."
Fu Xitang: "I've washed it. I've really washed it. It's just a shame."
Well, Xu Qing touched it, but there was no dust.
Fu Wenhan moved two baskets of grapes to the empty room. Fu Xitang lifted his sleeve and picked up the scissors to cut off the grapes one by one.
Li Changting brought a bucket of water from his house, a wooden basin for washing vegetables, poured out two pots of water, soaked the cut grapes in one of the pots, rubbed them gently, and then changed to another.
The grapes soaked in the second pot of water do not need to be drained. They are directly crushed and thrown into the wine jar where the poison has been eliminated by boiling water. Lingquan water contains Lingqi, which will make the wine taste better. If it is ordinary water, it must be drained.
The jar can't be filled. It can be filled to two-thirds. Finally, add a little rock sugar to promote fermentation. Rock sugar should not be too much, because the grape is very sweet. Finally, seal the jar mouth and wait for it to ferment by itself.
The frost on the surface of grapes contains natural wild yeast. In fact, most fruits can ferment by themselves without adding anything else.
But still need to stir every few days to let it relax, otherwise there will be the danger of explosion altar.
Fu Xitang followed the whole process and was a little confused: "that's it?"
Li Changting: "yes."
Fu Xitang thought about it, but he couldn't say what was wrong. After all, he had never brewed fruit wine.
Fu Wenhan helps to clean up the scene. He is about to take the water from the basin and pour it into the sea outside the window. Xu Qing stops him.
"Don't waste it. Just keep it and wash it." This is Lingquan water. Although there is plenty of it in the space, knowing the value of Lingquan water, Xu Qing is reluctant to waste it.
Fu Wenhan let out a sound and put the wooden basin back. Two pots of water didn't move. He just cleaned up the rest.
Fu Xitang's eyes turned around and said to Li Changting, "you can teach me how to brew rice wine."
Li Changting: "you go outside to find ten people. Nine of them know how to brew. Why ask me."
Xu Qing: "the master of Changting is the Royal winemaker of your restaurant. I don't believe that you don't even know how to brew rice wine."
Fu Xitang: "I will, but it's not necessarily that what I can brew is as good as his."
The reason why Li Changting's rice wine is delicious is that he uses rice and spring water growing in the space. Now, if you want him to brew it, isn't that self defeating?
Xu Qing: "then I can only tell you that you can't learn."
Fu Xitang: "try it. In fact, I don't want to drink it myself. I want to give it to my friends. We don't have the conditions to brew other wine on board. It's easy to operate. Besides, your craft is learned from Ji Lao. If Ji Lao were here, I would ask him directly. "
Li Changting frowned: "it's nothing to teach you, but this kind of condition can't brew any good wine."
It's no secret that small families make their own rice wine, and it's really easy to brew. But Fu Xitang himself knows that it's OK when the weather is good. If the weather is bad and the wine is rickety, Li Changting can't guarantee how good it will be.
Thinking of this, Fu Xitang can only rest his mind.
But Xu Qing thought about it for a while and said, "why don't I have a try? I haven't brewed rice wine yet." Anyway, it's boring to be idle.
Fu Xitang: "no, no, forget it." He added, "don't waste my food."Xu Qing glared at him: "I tell you that you are going to be slapped in the face when you say this!"
Duanmu ring finished eating a bunch of grapes, raised his head and said slowly: "let ah Qing brew. I want to drink everything I said."
Fu Xitang thought about it and nodded: "OK, I don't have much glutinous rice. You'd better save a few kilos for me. My friend likes glutinous rice. I specially bring it to him."
Xu Qing looked at his stingy appearance: "how much rice can a jar of rice wine cost? It's so cheap!"
This friend really made Fu Xitang fall in love with him. He went all the way to see each other and made wine for him. Because each other likes to drink, he has to lift his sleeve to make wine by himself. What is the true love in the world.
Wait a minute. He's not going to meet her, is he?
Fu Xitang is almost three years old. Now he is not in decline. It's not easy to work hard for him.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing secretly decided to help Fu Xitang brew rice wine. The pursuit is not what people like.
Fu Xitang asked someone to move the glutinous rice under the cabin. Seeing that Xu Qing wanted to soak the glutinous rice, "wait a minute, I have mountain spring water specially used for making tea there."
Xu Qing: "I'm also a mountain spring. Would you like to try it?"
Fu Xitang was not at ease, and he really took a cup.
Xu Qing: "sweet?"
Fu Xitang: "the water is too sweet!" He was embarrassed to say that he had never drunk such good water before. He just asked, "where did you find it?"
Xu Qing half true and half false way: "this can't tell you, our family wine depends on it."
Fu Xitang finally knew why the wine in qingtingfang was so good. After struggling for a while, he didn't ask much. No matter how good the water was, it didn't do him much good.
