Phoenix is ​​very hot, how hot is it? The temperature can easily soar to forty degrees in summer.

So how long does it take for summer? Starting from mid-June, many areas are still in spring, and mid-summer has begun here...

Li Du took Ah Miao to walk around the street for only an hour, and she was already sweating profusely.

Ah Miao is even more miserable. The cat's fur does not have strong heat dissipation ability. It sticks out its tongue when it is so hot that it sticks out, just like a dog. It is even unwilling to stroll behind it, climbing up a lush willow tree and hiding in the shade of the tree, refusing to move.

Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "Come on, come down, let's go home."

Ah Miao looked at him suspiciously and continued to learn to stick out his tongue.

"Go back and blow the air conditioner. Look, I can't stand it too hot!" Mr. Li wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, shaking his hands and sweat beads flying around.

Seeing this, Ah Miao trusted him, slipped down from the tree and hurried into the backpack, then opened the backpack with his claws to blow the air.

This weather requires cold drinks, but Li Du has drunk several glasses of iced juice. Although it is delicious, it is too sweet. He doesn't want to take in too much fructose.

On the way back, he passed by a Chinese supermarket. After thinking about it, he went in and bought some soft glutinous rice, koji and yeast powder for winemaking, and planned to make some drinks by himself.

He planned to make sour rice wine. When he was in college, he worked in a Japanese restaurant and learned this craft, which is a light alcoholic beverage that some rural areas in Japan like very much.

The hotel room was not suitable for brewing wine, so he asked the boss to borrow the kitchen. As a result, Biders was not there, and only the little girl dressed in a man was wiping the cup.

Li Du knocked on the table and said, "Hi, Nicole, the cup is already very clean, why do you need to wipe it?"

The weird-tempered little girl gave him a blank look and said, "This is the bartender's rule. The purpose is to relieve the pressure the customers feel. Don't you understand?"

"don't know."

Nicole snorted and said, "When a customer drinks, if the bartender doesn't find something to be busy, the customer will think that the bartender is paying attention to himself and feels stressed. Wearing the wine glass is to solve this problem, do you understand?"

"I understand, thank you, but if you are willing to lend me the kitchen, I will thank you even more." Mr. Li smiled.

Nicole glanced at him and said, "You want to cook?"

“No, brewing.”

The little girl was a little interested: "You can still make beer?"

"No, a rice wine, it takes at least one week to brew beer, and I don't have that much time to spend here," Li Du explained.

The little girl is a half-baked bartender. She is very interested in making wine. She agreed to Li Du's request very happily, but asked to come and have a bartender together.

Li Du said: "This is OK, but don't you have to look at the store?"

The little girl went to the backyard and whistled. A big golden retriever ran over. Nicole handed it a bone and said, "Look at this place, okay?"

The big golden retriever nodded happily with saliva, as if he understood her words.

"This dog trains well," Li Du exclaimed.

The little girl said impatiently: "Of course, Xiaobi is a smart child. Let's go and make wine."

Many Chinese immigrants in the United States come from southern China, and most of the Chinese supermarkets are opened by these people. Their hometowns have the custom of drinking rice wine, so there is also a special soft glutinous rice in supermarkets.

These glutinous rice are soaked and packaged in vacuum. After opening, they can be used to brew rice wine directly.

There is a large pressure cooker in the kitchen. Li Du cleaned the glutinous rice twice and saw that it was very clean. Then he put it in it and started cooking like cooking porridge.

Nicole looked at it seriously and asked, "How much water is added?"

"The rice and water are about 1.5," said Li Du, "Now you have to wait patiently, and you will probably have to stew it for about an hour and a half."

Time needs control, Li Du will open the pot every fifteen minutes to take a look.

Because he used less water, he slowly made it into thick porridge. At this time, he turned off the heat and the porridge was gushes inside, and bubbles of all sizes continued to appear in the porridge.

After about an hour and a half, the porridge was cooked. At this time, the glutinous rice emitted a strong fragrance. If it was served with a plate of pickles, Li Du thought it would be a good breakfast.

Cool, then add koji and yeast to it, stir evenly and add some yogurt.

Seeing this, Nicole curled her lips and said, "It's messy and looks disgusting."

Li Du smiled and said, "If you know the amount of bacteria contained in yeast powder and yogurt, you will feel even more disgusting."

Whether you add yeast powder or yogurt, it is to quickly cultivate a large amount of yeast, which can save fermentation time.

After stirring evenly, he placed the pot in the corner of the kitchen and said, "Tell your brother, don't pour out the things inside. At this time tomorrow, we will have fine wine to drink."

Nicole asked in surprise, "That's all?"

Li Du said: "Of course, do you think the program is complicated?"

Nicole stopped talking and went back to make a sticker and stuck it on the pot with a line of beautiful small words: Whoever touches the pot will move the head with the beer bottle!

Hans got nothing after one day, and set off again early the next morning. Like a professional spy, Mr. Li couldn't help but like him.

In the afternoon, Nicole ran to him and said, "Twenty-four hours are here."

Li Du was reading a book and said casually: "It doesn't matter, it can ferment for another two or three hours."

Nicole said angrily: "You are not serious at all."

Seeing her expectations, Li Du put away the book and said, "It's OK now, I'm just for insurance."

When I opened the pot, it was like beer was opened, and a milky white foam gushed out, bringing out a faint smell of wine.

Nicole looked excited and said, "I smelled the wine, oh yeah, it worked!"

Now the porridge in the pot has become semi-liquid. Li Du filtered the porridge with clean gauze and filtered the milky white wine into a large bottle.

Nicole tried it in a hurry with a spoon, and pursed her mouth and said, "Well, it's not delicious, it only tastes wine."

Li Du smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll say that when it's late."

He put the rice wine in the freezer, which was used to allow the yeast to decompose starch into sugar, increase acidity, and at the same time refrigeration could give the rice wine a better taste.

In the evening, when the sun sets, Hans returns with tired steps, sweating all over.

Li Du asked, "Are you okay? Do you need to be so busy? Be careful of heatstroke!"

Hans waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, give me a cold beer!"

Li Du said: "I will change you a drink, which is more exciting than ice beer!"

There was a pavilion in the backyard garden of the hotel. He took out the rice wine and Hans, and Godzilla went to the pavilion. Soon Nicole brought Biders to the pavilion, waiting to taste the rice wine in anticipation.

Hans handed over the cup and said, "Let me drink first, let the hero drink first."
