"No problem, my wife's suggestions are adopted."

Xu Ming nodded. Now in his head, he was the biggest of his two wives. No matter what request he made, he would definitely do what he could do.

Even if he picks the moon, he will promise to be able to pick it absolutely.

After all, he is a responsible and good man.

What's more, he just made a little wine, and he didn't find this little thing trouble at all.

So for the next period of time.

All the tasks of raising chickens were handed over to Aunt He, and Xu Ming's main energy was focused on brewing wine.

As for how to make wine, after jointly studying some relevant materials, it is mainly divided into four steps:

The first step: preparation work is mainly to process and manufacture wine barrels.

Generally, the wine barrels used by Westerners to make wine are mainly oak. This wood is characterized by its difficulty in drying, toughness and texture, can be bent into various shapes, not leaking easily, and has a low cost. It is an excellent wine barrel making material.

However, Xu Ming did not use oak, but directly used dried mahogany as the raw material for making wine barrels.

And in two days, more than 500 mahogany wine barrels were made, enough for use.

Step 2: Pick and process fruits for winemaking.

The first wine-making material Xu Ming chose is naturally the crystal red extract with a very high sweetness... The production of alcohol is mainly related to sugar (or starch substance). The sweeter the fruit, the higher the alcohol content it produces, the more like wine.

Crystal Red Tape is undoubtedly the first choice for brewing wine.

Even the name of the brewed wine was considered in advance and called it "Red Crystal Wine".

So it took two days to come to the crystal red timber forest and picked a total of 15,000 kilograms of crystal red timber, which could be said to have hollowed out hundreds of fruit trees.

After obtaining a large amount of crystal red fruit, deep processing is required.

That is, crush the fruits, squeeze out the flesh and juice as much as possible, and then pass through a filter device to remove excess impurities and obtain a very sticky juice.

Depending on the situation, add a certain amount of water to it. Add more to low-alcohol wine, and add less water to medium-alcohol wine.

Step 3: Pour the juice into the wine barrel, then add the wine koji and seal it.

The so-called koji, the main ingredient is Aspergillus, and the spores of yeast. There are several types. In an aerobic environment, sugars can be decomposed into alcohol. It can be said that because of these magical anaerobic bacteria, drinks like wine are available.

Xu Ming bought four different wine koji in the past two days, but I don’t know if there will be any difference in the wine brewed.

Step 4: Store the sealed wine barrel in a cool underground wine cellar, ferment and wait for it to become wine.

This fermentation process usually takes only one or two weeks to make most of the sugar in the juice decompose into alcohol by anaerobic bacteria. If it is some private rice wine brewing workshops, it is estimated that the rice wine will be brewed in one week.

But if the time is so short, a small amount of sugar will not be decomposed, and there will be some particulate residues, and the fermentation will not be thorough enough.

If you want to pursue pure taste, clear color and very little residue, the longer the brewing time, the better!

Take red wine as an example.

Half a year is the bottom line.

It's barely available in a year.

Three years or five years are excellent quality products.

Ten years or more than twenty years, it is the best among the best products and can sell higher value.

This is a drink that can add value over time. Even if the year is longer, the marginal effect will decrease, and the quality of the wine will be limited.

But "the longer the time, the better the quality" is the truth.

This time, Xu Ming picked more than 15,000 kilograms of crystal red pickles. After pressing and filtering, the juice obtained was still more than 10,000 kilograms, and then added wine koji and water, and the total weight was still about 12,000 kilograms.

The volume is more than 600 liters.

It can fill about 200 30-liter mahogany wine barrels.

However, in order to test that "crystal red wine" would taste better under those conditions, Xu Ming created 4 large control groups and 20 small control groups.

The four large control groups correspond to four different wine choruses. Looking at the differences in wine choruses, will they bring obvious differences in taste and taste.

Then, under each large control group, five different groups were divided into five different groups, using high-concentration juice, original juice, 10% fruit juice, 20% fruit juice, and 30% fruit juice... Each group made ten barrels.

The other three large control groups are also arranged.

In this way, a total of 20 different "red crystal wines" were obtained.

After getting the first batch of wine, they were all placed in a honeycomb-like wine nest, and the utilization rate of a single wall was less than one-fifth.

The entire underground wine cellar still looks empty.

Xu Ming, who has a somewhat obsessive-compulsive personality, thinks it is not very good-looking, and at least he has to fill one wall of the underground wine cellar.

As for the wall opposite, it will be used as a wine cabinet to store a large amount of glass bottled wine in the future.

"Still work hard and make some more wine!"

Xu Ming started to think about it and asked Lan Mengxin, Li Yiqing and others to discuss what else can be made into wine?

Fruits with high sugar content can be made into fruit wine.

Three other ideal fruits were soon found: red dates, peaches and purple-skinned sugarcane.

There are red dates on the grassy hills, and there are a lot of them, but picking them one by one is troublesome and less efficient.

Xu Ming asked Aunt He to help, Lan Mengxin and Li Yiqing, and also helped some small things within their ability, such as using a Douwang to help with Douguo, and cleaning them.

It took two days to get 5,000 kilograms of red dates.

After removing the seeds, the seeds were made into puree with a machine, and stirred into a paste with water. It was also divided into four large control groups, and 16 small control groups with low, medium and high concentrations, and a total of 160 barrels were brewed.

The peaches are larger in size and use small peaches on the periphery. Each one has a big fist and the flesh is extremely sweet.

It took two days to pick up more than 10,000 kilograms of peaches on dozens of trees.

However, the medium-sized peaches containing spiritual energy located in the middle of the Peach Forest also picked 5,000 kilograms.

Carry out some processing.

It was then divided into four large control groups, 20 groups, and a total of 200 barrels were brewed.

As for the final purple-skinned sugarcane, it is the most suitable material for brewing wine.

The adult's arms are thick and five or six meters long. Each purple-skinned sugarcane is placed in a press from beginning to end. It can squeeze out a large amount of sugarcane juice. After a layer of filtering, the color is still quite clear.

Xu Ming used purple-skinned sugarcane and divided it into four large groups of 30 groups, making a total of 300 barrels of "sugarcane wine". Oh, this type of wine, also known as rum, is very popular among Pirates of the Caribbean.

Finally, I made some statistics:

200 barrels of red crystal wine, 160 barrels of red date wine, 200 barrels of peach wine, and 300 barrels of sugarcane wine.

Total total is 860 barrels.

Not only did the wine nest not fill a wall, but even a thousand barrels were not reached.

This made Xu Ming very uncomfortable. He had to admit that he had become a little addicted to brewing wine recently. Even in order to achieve the goal of 1,000 barrels, he had to continue working and achieve the goal that was about to reach.

His eyes were placed on a material that was also extremely suitable for brewing wine but was quite luxurious.

Pearl rice!

Pearl rice containing a lot of spiritual energy can be used to make some rice wine.

"No, the pearl rice containing spiritual energy, combined with the ten thousand-year-old spiritual marrow that also contains a lot of spiritual energy, can the wine brewed with its abundant spiritual energy content be called 'spiritual wine'?"

"In addition, there are a large number of medicinal materials such as Polygonum multiflorum, Green Dragon Ginseng, and Purple Ganoderma lucidum in the fog area. Will these medicinal materials be added to the 'ling wine' cause to make people feel nosebleed?"

Xu Ming's heart moved and a lot of new ideas emerged in his mind.
