I was a village chief in a primitive society

Chapter 411: The perfect substitute. (1 more request for customization)

Yuying blinked her pink eyes, and a soft and cute voice sounded,"Is it a new food?"

"Well, the kind I told you about before, you can taste it at night."Su Bai nodded lightly.

He told the fox-eared girls before when they planted the wheat, and also roughly talked about the appearance of the wheat.

"Great, I can finally eat wheat."Yu Ying is both looking forward to it and a little curious. What will the wheat taste like? What will the taste be like?

"You pick it up and remove the impurities from the wheat, and then I start brewing wine."Su Bai ordered

"good."Yu Ying nodded, squatted down and began to clean the wheat.

Su Bai took a cleaned porcelain jar, and then disinfected it with the alcohol spray prescribed by the system before.

Then he began to prepare the steps for making wine. There is not much to prepare, that is, wheat and water, and then the distiller’s yeast.

Originally, there is no distiller’s yeast, because making distiller’s yeast requires the use of raw materials such as rice, spicy polygonum, cinnamon leaves, and orange leaves.

Then put these The raw materials are mixed, and finally water is added to knead into a dough, etc. to make it.

But Subai doesn’t have much rice now, let alone other raw materials.

But fortunately, there is something in the wine-making book that can replace the koji. , which is a kind of wild fruit in the tribe.

That book is about how the primitive tribes make wine, and the raw materials in it, except wheat, can be found in the primitive tribes. The koji in it is just a little bit. A relatively rare wild fruit juice can be substituted

"The first step is to soak the wheat."Su Bai murmured to himself and began to prepare.

He took out a basin, put part of the wheat in it, and filled the basin with water.

The reason for doing this is to allow the wheat to fully absorb the water, and then It swelled up.

After soaking in water, Su Bai began to wash the wheat again, in order to prevent some wheat from incomplete peeling.

After washing the wheat, he also inspected it and set it aside to wait for it to drain.

"Wu, is this okay?"Yu Ying squatted aside and looked at the pot of wheat and said doubtfully.

"Not yet, this is just the beginning."Su Bai said with a smile, winemaking is a subject of a major.

Yuying swung her pink fox tail. Anyway, she didn't know much about it, so she had to continue to work with the wheat that had not been separated.

Su Bai waited until the wheat was drained and prepared to proceed. The next step is to cook the grain.

This step is also more important and an indispensable step for making wine. If it is not cooked, there is no way to make wine.

Su Bai added water to the iron pot and put the drained wheat in the iron pot. put on the plate.

Then put a wooden board in the iron pot to separate it, and then put the plate with wheat in the iron pot.

"Wu, do you need me to light the fire?"Yu Ying ran in excitedly.

"Well, don't add too much firewood, just wait for the water to boil and steam over low heat for thirty minutes."Su Bai warned.

Since the invention of the sundial and the funnel for water droplets at night, the tribe has had the concept of time.

But it is not very complicated, just some easy to remember things like ten minutes, twenty minutes, one hour and so on. period

"OK, I'll do it right away."Yu Ying immediately responded, twitching her pink fox ears and starting to light the fire.

"crackling......"

Forty minutes later, the wheat had been completely steamed, and Su Bai took out the steamed wheat.

Take out a clean piece of animal skin, spread all the steamed wheat on it and let it cool.

"Wu, is it good to make wine like this?"Yu Ying still couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Not yet, wait for them to cool before proceeding to the next step, it's not enough if they are a little hot now."Su Bai said softly.

While the wheat was still cooling, he began to sterilize some utensils, which were used for making wine.

Su Bai picked up the porcelain jar, poured the cooled wheat grains into it, and continued. Stir, and then squeeze a little wild fruit juice into it.

This wild fruit juice is used to replace distiller's yeast, so it must be put in.

The reason why the wheat grains must be left to cool is because there will be yeast when the time comes. If it is still very hot, the yeast will be burned to death.

After the wheat grains are put in, the surface is flattened, a hole is dug in the middle, and then a layer of slippery lizard skin is covered to seal it.

"Wu, it should be fine now, right?"Yu Ying couldn't help but ask at the side. She saw that everything was put into a jar.

"That's almost it, just wait for it to ferment and you can drink wine after a while."Su Bai said with a smile.

One of the last two steps in brewing wheat wine is to preserve and ferment. It should be fermented in a warm place.

Depending on the temperature, it usually takes about 36 to 48 hours for fermentation to mature. In winter, wrap a towel or blanket to keep warm. , and appropriately extend the fermentation time

"Wu, how can it be considered as brewing?"Yu Ying asked, tilting her head.

"When you open it and see wine coming out of the small pit in the middle, it will be considered a success." Su Bai explained.

Yu Ying flicked her pink fox tail and asked,"Can we drink it directly?"

"Not yet, the last step still needs to be distillation. After the fermented grains are fermented, they can be distilled. What is distilled is wheat liquor."Su Bai said professionally.

If it weren't for the detailed descriptions in the wine-making book, I might have missed some.

After reading the wine-making book, I realized that wine-making is not an easy task. There are still many things to pay attention to. Follow him My impression is a bit different.

However, there are many ways to make wine in the wine-making book, such as wine, orange wine, white wine, wheat beer and many other methods.

And Su Bai chose wheat to make wine, distillation What you get later will be white wine

"Distillation? Wu, what does this mean?"Yuying heard unfamiliar words

"It comes from a kind of craftsmanship, you will know when the time comes."Su Bai wanted to show them how to operate it himself, but if he talked too much

, they would still have a little understanding. That's how primitive tribes are. If you talk too much, it's better to do it once and show it to them. They will understand more thoroughly.

Just like the blond girl Same, now I have been hiding in my room studying the chemical experiments I wrote two days ago.

Those chemical experiments are very simple, such as experiments on what will happen when soda ash meets white vinegar.

Soda ash and white vinegar are also It was created by the system. This little experiment is not difficult. Many primary school students on the earth can learn it.

"good."Yu Ying nodded heavily and said.........................................
