196 God's Wine Song (2 in 1)(1/2)
Inuyasujiro's expression changed drastically. He walked a few steps on his knees, buried his head deeply on Inuyasu Jingzhai's feet, and cried out in pain: "Sir Jingzhai, you can't!
How do those chefs at the Xiangjiang Food Competition be qualified to compete with adults?
Lord, they are the only chefs in my big island country, and they are not worthy at all!"
"I'm afraid the only chef may not be?
Besides, I have only reached the level of a master chef in terms of sword skills. To become a real chef, it is not just about being strong in sword skills.”
Inukai Jingzhai sighed slightly, "Besides, I went to the Xiangjiang Food Competition just for Zhou Dong. What does it have to do with those contestants?"
"Sir, but according to the competition system..."
Inukai Jiro also wanted to persuade: "The competition organizing committee has only given my country 30 places, but our island country has one capital, two prefectures and forty-three counties, and hundreds of chefs who are interested in participating in the competition.
It is also because of this reason that I accepted the invitation from Jingbian to go to China, in order to save a quota.
Otherwise, you will have to compete with your own chef masters. No matter what you win or lose, it will damage the glory of our big dog-raising family.
Even Erlang is like this, let alone adults?
How can those guys be qualified to let adults take action!"
A warlike nation like the island country is not like China. As long as the cooking associations of various provinces set a list, few people will challenge it. Things like Inukai challenge Zhou Dong are afraid that they will only happen once every few years.
The island country decided to participate, but no Cooking Association determined that such things were all to compete with "real swords and guns".
"I read your resume, it's very good, so you can be my assistant..."
Inuyashi Jingsai's left foot, wearing white cotton socks, gently tapped the ground a few times: "It's not worth my personal effort to win the island country's qualifying place, so it's up to you, the assistant to solve it.
After the event is completed, you can follow me to learn sword skills. If you fail, the family will consider taking back your 'blue moon'."
"Ha Yi!"
Inukai Jiro was overjoyed. This was the opportunity given to him by Lord Jingzhai, which represented his trust and expectations.
Compared to the island country that has to duel if it is not moving, Great China is much more harmonious. After Inukai Jiro was taught a lesson, the list of Soviet provinces was basically confirmed. Chefs from more than a dozen star hotels and Zhou Dong were reported to the competition organizing committee together.
The chefs on this big list are probably only one or two people who can enter the preliminaries. China has a vast land and many provinces. In the end, the chefs can enter the qualifiers and go to Xiangjiang, there are only about fifty people in China.
According to Zhu Yanping's idea, a mere island country had thirty places, and China had at least 100, right?
But even if he was the number one sponsor, this proposal was rejected by the organizing committee.
After all, it is an international food competition. Compared with Europe where there are only one or two places in a country and Africa where there are only three places in the entire continent, the fifty places in China are already "astronomical". If there are more, it may cause criticism from other countries. It will say that Xiangjiang intends to favor the mainland.
Even the island country has been reduced from thirty places to twenty in this competition. It is said that the Island Country Food Council has also filed a solemn protest to the competition organizing committee.
Although the protests were ineffective, the island kitchen community was angry because of this, thinking that China, a country without even national cuisine, could have fifty places. This Xiangjiang Food Competition must be manipulated by the Chinese people behind the scenes!
Master Inoya Jingzhai, one of the three masters of sword skills in the island country, actually lowered his status to participate in this food competition. In the eyes of the chefs in the island country, it is undoubtedly a strong response to China.
Even if you have fifty places, the gold medal must belong to Lord Jingzhai!
"Is Inukai Jingzhai?"
The man in Paris, Liu Liang looked up at Notre Dame, which was shrouded in dark clouds, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Interesting, really interesting.
How long has it been since the God-Cook-level figure appeared in the Xiangjiang International Food Competition?
It's been at least twenty years.
Although Inuyashi Jingzhai is not a real chef, his sword skills are so amazing that this genius became a little interested.
If you add that guy Zhou Dong, the gold medal in this Xiangjiang International Food Competition should be the most valuable in all previous sessions, right?”
Thinking of Zhou Dong, Huailiang smiled even more happily.
It seems that he should be reminded, otherwise it would be bad if he accidentally loses to the guy who always likes to stay in the flower field to pretend to be x.
Unfortunately, the phone was not connected, and the other party was not in the service area.
The signal is so bad? Chu stays well if he is not here. Where are you going to wander again?
Huailiangren was very depressed.
The competition is about to begin, and this guy doesn’t say he calls me to contact him or something. He also recommends him hard, hoping that he will become a seed player!
A person who is unscrupulous, how long has it been since he left Chu Du before he left his good friend behind?
***
Fengqi Mountain in August is not only beautiful, but also brings a lot of harvest to the people of the mountainous areas. Before the time to purchase wheat and rice, the plump round glutinous rice and hot bean curd flowers have already matured.
This is the best season for brewing rice wine. If it is in Jiangnan, the young wife and mother-in-law at home will start to get busy and prepare high-quality wine choruses to brew jars of yellow wine full of love for the head of the family.
It is said that health care depends on rice wine, and only when you get drunk is the result of your life; although you can also get drunk when you drink rice wine, you are more about savoring the taste and culture that is carried by the wine.
Not only does the distilled products of liquor waste food, but some of them simply do not use food... The quality is uneven, and the taste is more single than that of yellow wine. Zhou Dong actually doesn't like it very much.
Moreover, as modern health concepts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are more and more varieties of rice wine in the wine consumption market. The rice wine, which truly dominated the history of three thousand years of Chinese wine, has once again revitalized.
This time when he came to Fengqi Mountain, Zhou Dong was preparing to get the wine chorus first, and at the same time asked Li Xiuchen to help stock up on the new rice. When he returned from Xiangjiang, the winemaking matter would be put on the agenda.
Li Xiuchen also had the habit of brewing wine at home. He took Zhou Dong down the field early in the morning. The ripe glutinous rice ears were heavy and swayed gently in the wind, as if we were welcoming Zhou Dong, the mentor.
"My fields are full of the best pearl glutinous rice. If you want to make wine koji, you have to choose some good glutinous rice with full grains.
After all, wine koji is directly related to the quality of the wine, but it is impossible to be careless.
Otherwise, when the first crop of glutinous rice is harvested tomorrow, I will help you choose?"
Li Xiuchen knew that Zhou Dong was the chef of Jiuzhou Dingshi, but when it comes to brewing wine, he always thought that Zhou Dong was still a young man, so he probably had to help him.
Zhou Dong smiled slightly: "No, brother, I still want to choose by myself.
This time I made wine chorus, and it was enough to have twenty kilograms of glutinous rice. But I don’t know how the hot Polygonum flowers bloomed? There are also verbena, vegetarian grass, grass roots, anise leaves, etc., I need all these.”
"Ha, Brother Zhou is an expert?
Don't worry, the hot pot flowers in Fengqi Village are awesome. When the ideal life program team left, Teacher Huang also booked a lot with me and said that I would send them to Kyoto.
As for other ingredients, I have them at home. Brother Zhou and I have the same hobby, so I like to make some wine by myself.”
"That's it. I have to go to Xiangjiang tomorrow. I have to ask my brother to help me harvest some glutinous rice, high-quality rice, corn and wheat.
I have to ask for a lot of things. I will write it to you later. When I come back from Xiangjiang, we will calculate the money together.
I'm doing this for a business, and I don't pay the money. You're welcome, brother."
"Then let it go, just listen to Brother Zhou."
Li Xiuchen originally wanted to be polite, but after Zhou Dong said this, he stopped talking. He was about to help Zhou Dong choose rice ears for making wine rosary, but he saw Zhou Dong had walked into the field. While walking, he gently brushed the rice ears with his hands...
"Is this how I choose to pick glutinous rice? What is Brother Zhou doing?"
Li Xiuchen looked at it strangely.
Whether it is yellow wine or white wine, the raw materials used are of course important, but the most important thing is wine koji.
The quality of the wine koji is directly related to the quality and taste of the wine.
For rice wine with rich taste and can add various auxiliary ingredients, wine koji is even more important.
When making wine koji, the most important thing is to choose glutinous rice or rice used to make koji.
The round glutinous rice produced in Fengqi Village is full and plump, which is the best raw material for making chorus. However, when choosing, you must adhere to the principle of "one slow, two slow, three water selection".
The so-called slowness means that you should use manual threshing when threshing, and you should be careful to threshing so that you cannot damage glutinous rice.
The so-called second-view means carefully selecting glutinous rice grains, and picking up one ear of grains is only nine.
The so-called three-choice water means that water with high mineral content is required to make wine koji, and mountain spring water is the best.
Zhou Dong chose the water for brewing wine before, and was not very satisfied with the water in Fengqi Mountain. However, if it was used to make chorus, the natural spring water in Ajie Valley was the most suitable.
Choosing glutinous rice is a technical job, so how can you be like Zhou Dong? Without waiting for the threshing, it is like a big girl watching flowers. She just walked along the way, gently brushed by her fingers, occasionally stopping, and folding the ears of rice that she likes directly?
Moreover, Li Xiuchen could see clearly that the rice ears selected by Zhou Dong were not all the thickest, some of which looked even a little shriveled and yellow. Can such rice ears produce good glutinous rice?
I wanted to remind me, but I was afraid of losing Zhou Dong's face.
I thought I'd better forget it. When I turn back and take off the grains, if these glutinous rice are not available, I will help him choose again...
Zhou Dong had long seen Li Xiuchen’s thoughts, but he didn’t explain.
The legendary winemaking skills of "Divine Wine Song" is known to be able to produce top-notch wine songs that are nowhere to be found in the world. How can ordinary people know the method of choosing the raw materials for making chorus?
The so-called "one meter and one millet" are all the essence of earth's power; to put it more fantastic, that is, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is contained in it, otherwise how can we nourish the human body?
The plump and round glutinous rice generally contains more ground energy, but it is not without exception; just as people are usually big and have strength, but Li Yuanba, who is as thin as a monkey, was the number one hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
This glutinous rice is like a human. There must be dozens of plants in each acre of land that are "Rice Kings". Perhaps it does not look the most round and full, but in fact it contains much more magnificent ground energy than ordinary rice.
What Zhou Dong had to do was to pick out these "rice kings" and the best batch of glutinous rice.
After all, it was his first time brewing wine, so he didn't want to be too shocking. Otherwise, he would have traveled all over Fengqi Mountain and picked out the rice king in every acre of land to make wine choruses. Only then could the wine brewed can be called "Shenjiu" and live up to his title of Chinese God of Baccarat.
But this is just thinking about it. There are many glutinous rice fields in Fengqi Mountain, but other farmers will not let him go to the fields to pick rice ears like Li Xiuchen.
Crops are the lives of farmers. You can’t waste other people’s fields like this, maybe you will be beaten...
To be continued...
