The Vicious Fat Wife Dressed as a Disabled General

Chapter 273 Brewing Fruit Wine and Rice Wine

Jiang Zhinuan didn't care. After all, her dressing style before time travel was much more open than now. Although she is wearing underwear now, it is also long clothes and trousers, similar to home clothes, and there is nothing shameful about it.

On the contrary, I was sweating all over this trip, and my body was very sticky and uncomfortable. I couldn't wait to take a hot bath.

By the time Jiang Zhinuan took a good hot bath and changed his clothes, it was almost evening.

Zhang Shuangzhu also came down from the mountain. He was sitting and eating mulberries in the yard with An Bao and Ning Bao. The corners of the mouths of the two babies were stained with a layer of purple red on their teeth. They stuck out their tongues when they laughed, even the tongues were purple.

Jiang Zhinuan saw that the bowl next to them was empty, so Zhang Shuangzhu got up and brought another bowl.

"Eat less, mother will pick some up tomorrow."

She will use those mulberries to make fruit wine for a while, and the children want to eat them, so they can pick them tomorrow, but Zhang Shuangzhu smiled at her: "If the children want to eat, eat more, these mulberries are sour and sweet, very appetizing .”

"I'm still planning to make fruit wine."

Zhang Shuangzhu pointed to the kitchen, and when Jiang Zhinuan got closer, he saw another pot of mulberries growing on the ground.

"Brother Shuangzhu, have you found the mulberry tree?"

"Yeah, I found a few, and I've written down the location. I can pick as many as you want!"

Jiang Zhinuan immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Amazing!"

Right now, these are probably enough to make three jars of fruit wine. Jiang Zhinuan made some more and put them in a bamboo basket, took them under the spring water, and let the cold spring water wash them directly. If you eat them later, they will be ice-cold and taste will be better.

For the remaining mulberries, after Jiang Zhinuan washed them directly with spring water, he spread a layer in the jar, then added a layer of sugar, then spread mulberries, then sugar, and repeated until the entire jar was covered.

To make mulberry wine, Jiang Zhinuan thought it would be more appropriate to use rock sugar, but there was no rock sugar here, so she could only use white sugar instead to prevent the wine from being too sweet and greasy. The amount of white sugar was about one-third of the mulberries.

In another jar, Jiang Zhinuan used honey.

After all, she was trying, and she wanted to try, whether sugar tastes better or honey tastes better.

When the warming banquet was held last time, there were still several jars of wine in the basement that the owner of the winery gave. Jiang Zhinuan picked out the jar with the strongest smell and poured it into the mulberry jar.

Then seal the mulberry jar, move it directly to the basement, and put it in a cool place.

"That's it?" Everyone looked at Jiang Zhinuan curiously.

Jiang Zhinuan shook his head: "You can drink it after seven days. Of course, the longer you soak it, the better the taste."

When she came up, she was still holding the glutinous rice soaked yesterday afternoon, which had been refrigerated by her in the small freezer she made for more than ten hours.

"Sanggong, I'll leave the dinner to you, and I'll make rice wine."

Di Qing nodded: "No problem."

Uncle Zhang patted his son on the shoulder and asked Zhang Shuangzhu to help Di Qing in the kitchen. He moved to Jiang Zhinuan's side and looked at the half bowl of rice in her hand: "Rice wine?"

"Yes, rice wine!"

Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up: "Fat girl, what else do you not know?"

This is a compliment to her, Jiang Zhinuan chuckled: "There are many people who don't know how to do it, such as smoking your dry tobacco pot, I don't know how to do it."

"Okay, you have learned to tease me."

Jiang Zhinuan smiled as she walked towards the spring water. She picked up the mulberry soaked in spring water and handed it to Uncle Zhang: "It's colder and tastes better. Take it for everyone to eat."

Uncle Zhang nodded: "Sure, I'll take Anbao and Ningbao there, so I won't bother you to make rice wine. I can't wait to try your fruit wine and rice wine."

"When it's brewed, I'll let you take the first sip."

Uncle Zhang laughed and left with the bamboo basket, and Jiang Zhinuan squatted down to wash half a bowl of soaked glutinous rice.

The glutinous rice should be cleaned and drained, and then placed in a steamer to poke a few holes through gauze and steamed for 10 minutes, and then cooled to [-] to [-] degrees, and the koji and spring water can be added to the degree that it is not hot to the touch.

As for the amount of spring water, you can control it by yourself, as long as the glutinous rice is moist and does not occupy a lump.

Then put it in a jar, dig a hole in the middle, cover it and put it in a cool place to let it ferment naturally.

It is much shorter than the time for making fruit wine. Generally, it takes 36 hours, that is, one and a half days. The rice wine is ready to drink. Of course, if the taste is not sweet enough after tasting, you can continue to ferment it.

This thoroughly fermented rice wine has a refreshing and transparent body, sweet and mellow in the mouth, and after a few days of storage, the aroma of the wine will become more intense, take a sip, and the fragrance will linger on your lips and tongue!

When Jiang Zhinuan climbed up from the basement, the food was already on the table.

Uncle Zhang took the water and asked her to wash her hands and eat. Jiang Zhinuan was in a good mood, so he went to the basement again and scooped up a jug of beer to drink.

This big jar of beer was originally intended to be drunk during the housewarming banquet, but it was brewed a bit late. During the housewarming banquet, the beer was not ready yet, so it was leftover.

It just entered summer, and the heat started to heat up during the day. After sweating, I felt thirsty. Drinking such a large bowl was very satisfying to quench my thirst.

"Come, come, drink our beer!"

The two children looked at the yellow liquid and licked their mouths greedily. After Jiang Zhinuan took a big gulp, he scratched their little noses: "You guys can't taste this, you'll get drunk when you drink it. Well, I can give you a small taste."

The two babies were obedient, eating the greens with big mouthfuls.

Jiang Zhinuan carried the meat over, shaking his two little heads desperately: "Daddy said, we have eaten too much meat these days, and we can't digest it. We need to eat more vegetables at night to supplement our nutrition."

Makes sense.

However, Jiang Zhinuan still insisted on adding a few pieces of meat to the two children's bowls: "The combination of meat and vegetables, balanced nutrition, listen to my mother, I will eat this meat and vegetables in the future, okay?"

The two children quietly raised their eyes to look at Di Qing. After seeing Di Qing nodded, they dared to nod their heads: "Okay, listen to mother!"

Seeing that Jiang Zhinuan was in a good mood, Di Qing also felt better.

Even if the embankment had to be repaired by three meters, he still wanted to keep Jiang Zhinuan's reeds. After Jiang Zhinuan went up the mountain at noon, Di Qing looked at the riverside in a wheelchair for a long time, and discussed with Uncle Zhang for a long time.

The reeds must be protected, and the dams must be closed!

Although it was a big project, it was a matter of human effort. Even in a wheelchair, Di Qing could build up the embankment bit by bit.

However, time waits for no one.

The flood season is only two or three months away, and there is more rain in summer. It may be raining for several days in a row, and the water level will rise.

Di Qing took out a jade tablet from the deepest part of his luggage, and he handed the jade tablet to Uncle Zhang, saying that the jade tablet could be pawned at least a hundred taels of silver, and that with the silver, he could hire someone to repair the embankment.

Uncle Zhang was very surprised when he saw Di Qing's jade token. Why didn't he pawn the jade token when they were almost starving to death?

But Di Qing refused to talk about the origin of the jade plaque, only said that if someone asked, he would say that he had picked it up, and he could not disclose any information about him.

Seeing that Di Qing was serious, Uncle Zhang could only nod his head in agreement.
