Early the next morning, Xu Ping and Li Zhang had just washed the clothes and saw Xiuxiu come back hurriedly from outside. The little girl's face was flushed, she looked very energetic, and her face had not yet passed.

After the ceremony, Xiuxiu seemed to have something to say to Xu Ping. Seeing that Li Zhang was here, she forced herself to hold it back.

After breakfast, Xu Ping said to Xiuxiu: "Today I want to go steam wine with everyone. You don't have to have a day off. You can rest in the yard. If you have time, cook some mung bean soup for everyone to drink."

Xiuxiu agreed, and Xu Ping took Li Zhang out.

Seeing Xu Ping reaching the door, Xiuxiu could no longer help and shouted from behind: "Please wait a moment, I have something to say to you!"

Xu Ping turned around and Li Zhang was about to follow him. He happened to see Xiuxiu looking at him with a vigilant look on her face. He realized that this little girl was not familiar with him, but was afraid that she would stand in place with scruples.

Seeing Xu Ping coming, Xiuxiu approached him, carefully took out a small box, and opened it for him to show it excitedly, with uncontrollable joy in his words: "Official, I've got a chance!"

Xu Ping looked at the box with a little spider, which made a web inside, which was very delicate. He knew that this was a girl's thing, and he didn't know what it meant, but seeing Xiuxiu was so excited, it seemed to be a very important thing on "Daughter's Day". He said in his mouth: "My Xiuxiu is the most skillful, so naturally she can get it as soon as she asks."

After hearing Xu Ping's words, Xiuxiu's face turned red, and she thought she was very excited. She told Xu Ping that she shared her joy. Xiuxiu felt a little calmer and said embarrassedly: "Officials, go and do it."

After saying that, he turned around and ran into his room.

Xu Pingzhi shook his head, unable to understand what was so excited about, so he left the yard with Li Zhang.

When they arrived at the brewing venue, Xu Chang had already gathered the people and was waiting for him.

After many days of hard work, all of them are today. Xu Ping was also a little nervous, not knowing what result would be in the end, or whether it would be in line with his own wishes.

Standing in front of everyone, Xu Ping cleared his throat, and couldn't remember what to say for a moment. He didn't know if the steamed wine was the one he wanted in his heart. After a while, he tried to calm down and said to everyone: "I have said what I should say long ago. Everyone knows what I know. I won't talk about it anymore today. We have spent countless thoughts on these bottles of wine. The success or failure is all about today. You must be careful!"

After saying that, he asked a few shopkeepers to wash the wine jars for the wine, and the others went to pick up the ingredients together.

When the wine was buried in the ground, a strong aroma of wine spread. When everyone smelled it, they were shocked. If there was this smell, there was wine.

Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang took a few shopkeepers to carefully dig out the jar from the ground, shouted together, and carried it to the prepared steamer.

Gao Daquan stood on the stool and was still responsible for loading the materials. Sun Qilang stood aside and helped him.

The chaff used for the mixing material had been steamed and dried, and placed aside. Sun Qilang used a winnowing basket to serve Gao Daquan. Gao Daquan took it and stared at the steamer.

The shopkeeper has already set off a fire under the pot. All the coals are used here. After a long time, the fire becomes extremely strong and makes a beeping sound.

Li Zhang stood beside Xu Ping and watched all this curiously. Although he had drunk a terrible liquor last time, he had never seen how it was steamed. This time he had the chance, of course he had to feast his eyes.

After boiling for a while, the water in the pot finally boiled, and a faint water vapor filled the steamer.

Gao Daquan dared not neglect and evenly sprinkled the chaff he was holding on the bottom of the steamer.

With just one breath, the water vapor in the steamer becomes abundant.

Gao Daquan said: "Brother Qi, you have to care. I don't want to be too anxious or too slow!"

Sun Qilang responded and handed the first dustpan over.

Two shopkeepers helped Sun Qilang again by the side of the tank, took the empty dustpan and filled it with the materials inside.

Gao Daquan sprinkled a layer of material in the steamer, and then ordered to stop and sprinkle another layer of chaff. This is because the material has too much viscosity and sticks to the steamer and cannot steam out the wine.

This large steamer has a diameter of about five feet and a height of about five feet. If everything goes well, the steamer will have to steam about a thousand kilograms of wine.

It took more than half an hour to fill the material. Gao Daquan breathed a sigh of relief, took the steamer cover from Sun Qilang and covered it on it.

This time the steamer cover is specially made for steaming wine. It has a conical shape on it, leaving enough space for the steam to steam inside, which is not comparable to the last time I made it to the point.

Next to him, Xu Chang had already arranged the wine-receiving utensils and handed them over the bamboo tube for Gao Daquan to connect.

At the place where I received this time, Xu Ping specially made a tin condenser, which cooled the steam from the coming with cold well water. The reason for making it is that tin is softer and easier to process, and the other is that the tin has good thermal conductivity. Even in Xu Ping's previous life, tin condensers were also standard for brewing white wine.

Of course, you can also pick up wine without a condenser. But in that case, a lot of wine will be emitted in the air, reducing the rate of wine production, which is less economical.

After finishing everything, Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang were already sweating, as if they had just been fished out of the water. Especially Gao Daquan, one was tired, and the other was steamed by the heat, falling off the stool, almost exhausted.

Xu Ping came up and patted his shoulder: "Today you have the hardest time, I will give you the first bowl of wine. In the evening, a pig and a bite of sheep are killed in the farm. Have a good meal!"

Gao Daquan was so tired that he couldn't speak, he just nodded.

Sun Qilang said weakly on the side: "The second bowl is mine!"

Everyone laughed together.

The shopkeeper drew a well water to wash Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang's faces, and everyone focused on looking at the place where the wine was coming.

Xu Chang was responsible for the reception of the wine. There was a wine jar below. Xu Chang, who was standing aside, was holding a small jar in his hand, staring at the mouth of the wine with a serious face.

After a long time, wine finally drizzled out of the exit. Xu Ping let out a long breath, and the tourists from all over the village also cheered.

Xu Chang did not dare to neglect, so he put the small jar in his hand to the wine outlet and continued carefully.

This is a wine head, which usually has about 75 degrees, which is the essence of the wine. Normally, the wine head is not suitable for direct drinking. One is that the degree is too high, and the other is that it is too volatile, which makes it easy to get over. It is best to be aged for a period of time to blend other wines.

But at this time, there were several alcoholics in Xuping Village who were addicted to alcohol, so how could they care about these things. Especially Xu Chang and Gao Daquan, they could even drink alcohol without any taste, let alone the fragrant wine head. You should know that alcohol and sweat were steamed directly when frying wine. Although it is also considered a high-quality distilled wine, the taste was worse than that of the vodka in Xu Ping's previous life. How many Chinese people would like it?

Seeing that Xu Chang had picked up almost one liter, Xu Ping shouted: "Everything is all right, it's almost done, stop."

Xu Chang carefully took back the wine jar. Seeing the wine coming out of the wine mouth flowing into the wine jar below, he felt relieved. He put the small wine jar in his hand under his nose and smelled it. The smell of wine came to his nose, and his face was filled with scent.

Gao Daquan was already jealous of the eyes on that side. Seeing Xu Chang's appearance, he couldn't help but shout: "Everyone cares, the first bowl of wine has been promised to me!"

Xu Chang raised his head, smiled reluctantly, took the wine jar to Gao Daquan, and said, "Of course it should be yours, so how could I grab it!"

But that expression is unwilling no matter how you look at it.

A shopkeeper brought the bowl, and Xu Chang poured it on Gao Daquan.

Xu Ping said: "This wine is more powerful than before. One bowl is equivalent to the original one and a half. Don't fill it up, otherwise you will pick Gao Daquan down at once!"

Gao Daquan said: "The little official is reluctant to let me go again, so I'm scared by this!"

Xu Ping smiled and scolded: "I have a kind heart, and I am always thinking about it by you! This is yours after all. What's the difference between getting into your stomach one moment earlier or one moment later?"

Sun Qilang next to him said, "How come there is no difference? I feel at ease as soon as possible! I had agreed that the second bowl is mine!"

Xu Chang was impatient and poured it on Sun Qilang again.

Gao Daquan took a deep breath on the bowl, raised his head, and drank it in one gulp.

This wine is not as spicy as before. As soon as I finished my mouth, I felt it was easy to drink. When I reached my stomach, a heat surged from my stomach to my head.

Gao Daquan was hot and tired, and was already exhausted. After being rushed by the alcohol, he felt dizzy and sat on the ground.

He shouted, "Oh! This wine is so amazing, I'm ready to go!"

Sun Qilang next to him was about to stumble, but was startled by Gao Daquan's appearance. His alcohol tolerance was much worse than Gao Daquan. After reading Gao Daquan, he didn't dare to be reckless, but just drank it slowly.

Xu Ping laughed and scolded: "I don't listen to you, I deserve this fall!"

When Xu Chang saw this, he became cautious and just poured half a bowl for himself.

The three of them have the most alcohol content and the highest status among the shopkeepers, so no one competed with them.

When Li Zhang saw the three of them, he licked his lips and said to Xu Ping: "Brother, this wine is so amazing? I'll try it even if I come!"

Xu Ping shook his head: "You are a child, you can't drink that kind of wine. Just taste a little in the wine jar."

Li Zhang's eyes were full of disdain.

At this time, a lot of wine was also received in the wine tank. If we wait until we steamed all the steamer, it would take almost an hour. Xu Ping saw the shopkeeper looking at him, and said, "You can drink less, just try it less. Today we have to do a lot of work. Whoever gets drunk now, don't eat at night!"

The tourists from all the villages applauded and rushed to serve the wine together.

Xu Chang brought two bowls to Xu Ping, handed them to him and Li Zhang, and said, "Da Lang, you can try it too. This wine is indeed much better than before!"

Li Zhang had to wait anxiously, so he took the bowl in his hand, then took a big sip, swallowed it and savored it, and said in his mouth: "Oh, I feel a little dizzy! This wine is so strong and fragrant!"
