Chapter 265 Peach Blossom Brew

Author: Round head and round belly

"It's that simple?"

Liu Yifei looked at the steamer and the sky pot, and was very curious.

She had imagined this kind of device when she heard Li Yi's description before.

She thought it would be very complicated, but she didn't expect that the structure of this equipment was only one big and one small, two pots and one wooden barrel.

“It’s not that complicated.”

Li Yi smiled and said, "Although the wine steaming equipment in the winery is of different materials, the principle is exactly the same as this equipment, but it is only magnified many times."

“Is this thing useful?”

Wu Lei looked at the slightly rough equipment parts and was a little suspicious.

"It's been used for hundreds of years, and of course it's easy to use."

Li Yi said, suddenly thought of something and walked towards the storage room.

Those cans of peach blossom wine have been brewing for five days, so he has to go and see how it is brewing.

When I came to the storage room, I put the glass jar containing peach blossoms in the corner of the wall, just like before leaving.

Li Yi picked up a can and looked at the sunlight carefully.

The peach petals in the glass jar have been mixed with the glutinous rice, and the originally clear and transparent water has become a little muddy. It is the rice paste mixed with starch falling off the glutinous rice.

There are some fine bubbles hanging on the inner wall of the jar, which are the carbon dioxide produced by yeasts that reproduce in the jar and decompose glucose.

Seeing these bubbles, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction.

The brewing effect of these peach blossom brews is much better than he expected. Although it has not been seven days, the alcohol content is almost 3% and it is ready to drink it.

So Li Yi took the glass jar and returned to the kitchen.

Seeing the glass jar that Li Yi brought out, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai surrounded him curiously and asked, "Is the peach blossom brew ready?"

"It's almost done, it's ready to drink."

Li Yi placed the glass jar on the operating table and signaled them to retreat: "Do a little bit, don't scare you."

After several days of reproduction, the yeast excretes a lot of carbon dioxide. At this time, the pressure in the glass jar is very high, and there will be certain dangers when opening the lid.

After asking them to retreat, Li Yi opened the sealing buckle on the glass jar and then gently lifted it up.

Bang!

Just like opening a bottle of beer, the glass jar made a muffled sound, and then a large number of bubbles surged out of the jar.

As the bubbles burst, a unique smell of rice pulp mixed with the smell of alcohol and a hint of peach blossom fragrance spread.

"Wow!"

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai looked at each other in surprise and exclaimed: "Has it really turned into wine?"

These peach blossom wines were made by them watching Li Yi with their own eyes.

Just a few days ago, there were only some peach petals and glutinous rice in the jar.

But now, wine actually appeared in the jar.

The bubbles did not flow out too many times, but the speed of the bubbles gushing out was greatly reduced after opening the can.

Seeing this, Li Yi ordered Wu Lei: "Get a soup basin, then a colander, and continue in the basin."

After Wu Lei took what he wanted, he picked up the glass jar and poured out the wine and slurry in the jar.

Wu Lei used a colander to continue, and the glutinous rice and peach petals mixed in it were filtered out, and only the light white rice mud and wine fell into the soup basin, stirring up a layer of fine foam.

After pouring out a whole can of raw slurry, Li Yi put the glass jar back, then took a spoon, put a bowl of raw slurry from the soup bowl, and took a sip.

Seeing Li Yi picking up the bowl and drinking it, Zhao Jinmai widened his eyes: "Do you just drink it like this?"

"Of course I just drank it, otherwise?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Do you still cook a bowl of dumplings?"

As he said that, he greeted him: "You guys try it too, it's delicious."

Liu Yifei had already brought the bowl and served herself a bowl.

After taking a sip carefully, she pursed her lips and tasted the taste.

Zhao Jinmai looked at her expression and asked curiously: "Is it delicious?"

“Good.”

Liu Yifei smiled: "It's sweet, a bit like drinking fermented glutinous rice glutinous rice."

"Sherb glutinous rice? I don't like drinking fermented rice very much."

Zhao Jinmai hesitated a little.

"This is different from the fermented rice glutinous rice I usually drink. Just try it."

Liu Yifei persuaded her and took another sip.

After hearing what she said, Zhao Jinmai felt relieved and reached out to scoop a bowl for himself.

She squeezed her eyebrows and took a sip carefully, and her eyebrows immediately stretched out.

"Wow! It's delicious!"

Zhao Jinmai looked at the wine in the bowl in surprise, a little surprised.

She thought the rice wine would taste the same as the uncooked fermented rice glutinous rice, but in fact, it had a sweet fragrance and a peach blossom aroma.

"This is the recipe for Hakka rice wine. The degree is not high. This one has only been brewed for a few days and has a lower degree. It is similar to beer and will not be irritating when you enter it."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Every household in Hakka area has a jar of rice wine. When doing farm work, they will drink it as water to quench thirst and fatigue."

"It's really like drinking a drink. This is the first time I've drunk this rice wine!"

Zhao Jinmai took another sip and tasted the sweetness and unique aroma of rice wine. It felt very fresh.

"If you go to Hakka people to visit, you usually pour a bowl of rice wine to enter the door."

Li Yi also took a sip of rice wine before pointing at the wine in the bowl and said, "That was the wine Zhuangxing that year."

While talking, Liu Yifei had finished drinking a bowl and picked up a spoon to serve the second bowl.

"Sister Yifei is so drunk!"

Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai smiled and joked.

Liu Yifei doesn’t drink much. When the program team eats together, they occasionally drink some red wine, but it will make you feel good about it.

Hearing Zhao Jinmai’s joke, Liu Yifei didn’t care. After serving another bowl for herself, she drank it in small sips, and smiled and said, “It would be great if the wine was so delicious.”

"yes!"

Zhao Jinmai agreed very much: "I hate drinking. The white wine is so spicy and the beer is bitter. I can't figure out what is good to drink.

If all the wine is as good as this kind of wine, I would like to drink it every day!”

After drinking the wine in the bowl, Li Yi put the bowl aside and smiled and said, "This kind of sweet rice wine is more suitable for the taste of our Chinese people. In ancient times, this sweet rice wine was called li, which was sweet like li.

In ancient times, li means wine for a night, which is wine made from wine that is made overnight.

This wine has a short brewing time, so the glucose content is relatively high, the alcohol content is relatively low, and the taste is better, which is more suitable for girls' tastes."

"Haha! Brother Yi, please brew more! I'll drink this kind of wine from now on."

Zhao Jinmai finished drinking the wine in the bowl, scooped another bowl, and smiled and said, "I will not have any pressure to drink this kind of wine at a party in the future."

"Don't underestimate this kind of sweet wine. Although it is not of high degree, it has a lot of potential after drinking too much."

Li Yi pointed to the wine in the bowl and explained: "This can is not completely brewed. After the rice wine is completely brewed, it is as yellow as honey. If it is aged for enough time, it will turn dark red and taste sweet, but it will be overwhelmed without realizing it."
