Chapter 40 Green Bamboo Wine

Tao Jin was stunned by this sudden inspiration. He walked to the front of the pot with his bowl, looked around and said to Yuanbao: "If Yuanbao made a wine to commemorate your mother?"

"Is it the Zhuyeqing the young master mentioned?" Yuanbao was suddenly asked by Tao Jin, and he was a little dazed and asked hurriedly.

Tao Jin shook his head and said, "That is someone else's wine. I will not brew other people's wine in the future, I will only brew my own! What do you want this wine to be called?"

"My mother always says that she likes the green bamboo in that mountain the most, so it's better to call it Qingzhu Bar! But Young Master, how to brew this wine!" Yuanbao thought for a moment and said a name in his mouth.

In fact, Tao Jin originally wanted to call him Zhuyeqing, but after working on it for a long time, modern people always think about something like infringing on trademarks. In addition, this wine was inspired by the ingot, so he simply gave him a name. However, Tao Jin thought this name was really good and very distinctive.

Tao Jin put down the bowl in his hand, took a white cloth and put it out and spread it on the white cloth like last night. Because I saw Tao Jin make it last night, Yuanbao also put down the bowl to help.

Tao Jin was very excited at this time, because once this succeeded, it means that he might have better attainments in brewing wine.

After doing everything in turn, mixing the koji, Tao Jin and Yuanbao started a long wait. The glutinous rice wine there was already lined up. Tao Jin carefully covered the filled jar with the bought oil cloth, and then carefully applied the oil cloth with wax and sealed the mouth. After the wax dried, he carefully applied the mud mixed with the bottom of the pot.

"Young Master, what are you doing?" Yuanbao asked again like a curious big baby.

"This wine should be delicious. It is not a big deal. The process is important. The sealing is also important! Only by sealing the wine and fermenting it can it become a good wine!" Tao Jin was quite excited because of the new wine, and his voice trembled a little.

"Only the wine sealed like this can be sealed well. Did you see the wine just now? It is also a trick to fill it up, because only in this way can there be less air in the jar and ferment better. If there is too much air in the jar, the wine will be impure!" Tao Jin was like a teacher, carefully talking about his steps.

Yuanbao thoughtfully and said, "Young Master, if this wine is sealed, how should it be stored?"

"Overyone likes to put wine in the cellar, and thinks that the effect will be better because the temperature in the cellar is lower!" Tao Jin saw that the mud on the mud-sealed wine jar had dried and slowly shook the wine jar. Seeing that there was no wine exposed, he said.

"What about you, Young Master?" Yuan Bao also learned a lot of cleverness. Seeing Tao Jin say this, he knew that his young master's method must be different from those of those people, so he asked.

"I, I like to seal this jar of wine to the edge of a tree where there is no spring water!" Tao Jin said with a smile, but Yuanbao knew that Tao Jin was not telling jokes, because when he told jokes, he always smiled first.

"Why?" Yuanbao continued to ask. Tao Jin beat a kiss, rubbed his eyes and said, "Help me dig a hole by the pear tree nearby, I will tell you!"

I am not afraid of this work ingot. Although it was dark, the two of them still carried the lights out of the yard. The spring water was only a few steps away from the yard. Usually, the water that Old Man Tan and his family ate was this spring water, and the well in the yard was just used for washing vegetables and laundry.

I don’t know if the spring water is well raised or the fertilizer near the pear tree is good. The pear trees beside the spring water grow very well, with lush branches and leaves. As the season is now, there are even more flowers. The pear blossoms float down with the breeze of the night, reflecting the bright moon, which is more poetic.

Yuanbao didn't have the heart to appreciate the scenery of this pear tree. He just dug a hole next to this pear tree to know the reason Tao Jin said.

Although Tao Jin asked Yuanbao to dig a hole here, he still had a choice. Tao Jin gestured in the direction of the sun during the day, held the lamp and looked at the branches and leaves of the pear tree before specifying a direction.

It was already late at night, and Old Man Tan and his wife had already gone to bed. Tao Jin and the others were not worried about waking up others, so they let go of digging.

Yuanbao was a child after all, he was a little weak person and could not dig it for a while. Tao Jin handed the lamp to Yuanbao, took the hoe and dug it deeply, and stopped until he saw the roots of the pear tree.

Tao Jin and Yuanbao worked together to lift the jar of wine. It was not that one person couldn't handle it, but it was because the jar was so round that it was hard to handle.

After carefully burying the wine jar, Tao Jin raised his head and breathed heavily. The wine had already achieved this, and he was just waiting to see the aging.

In fact, when making wine, especially in the Tang Dynasty, half of it depends on manpower and the other half of it depends on the sky. Unlike modern times, it can control greenhouses and control humidity and temperature, which can be done by the Tang Dynasty.

Tao Jin buried the wine here, because the humidity can be maintained here. There are trees there, and he is not worried that water will affect the wine.

Yuanbao was holding a problem in his heart. Until the two of them entered the room, Tao Jin washed his face, packed up and prepared to go to bed, he pouted and said, "Young Master, what you said, if I dig a hole for you, you will tell me what's going on!"

Tao Jin patted the bed and smiled and said, "You go and wash up. I'll tell you after getting on your own bed!" In fact, Tao Jin was so busy that he forgot about it just now, but he didn't expect that the ingot was still thinking about it.

Yuanbao quickly washed up and went to his bed. Then he looked at Tao Jin on the bedside and reminded him again: "Young Master, you can say it!"

After all, he was a child and was still worried. Tao Jin lay on the bed, stretched his waist and said, "Do you know that the tree can fix the wind, sand, water and soil?

Yuanbao sat on his bed. After hearing Tao Jin's words, he shook his head and said, "I have never heard of fixed wind, sand, water and soil?"

Tao Jin slapped his head again, this era that made him helpless! The wind and sand-fixing that Tao Jin talked about were all modern concepts! At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty knew about those, and they didn’t need so many trees to do anything. The soil and water conservation was quite good, so naturally no one studied these, so of course they didn’t know.

Thinking of this, Tao Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know that where there are trees, the flood will be less?" Tao Jin could only explain step by step.

"I know this. Those who build river embankments on the river embankments always find ways to plant some trees, saying that this can stop the river god from getting angry!" Yuanbao thought about Tao Jin's words and said for a long time.

Tao Jin understood that the Tang Dynasty people didn't know how to prevent wind and sand, but just explained the role of this tree.

"Since you know this, that's fine! The place where this wine is stored has temperature requirements. The temperature here is fine all seasons, but it's a bit hot. If this wine wants to ferment well, the temperature cannot be high. Although the cellar is cool, it still needs to be hot with the weather, so the temperature is not sure!" Tao Jin said halfway, and then he decided to continue to say that there was no problem with Yuanbao.

"This place with spring water is different. Because spring water means that there are water veins at the bottom, and the water veins should not be deep, not as deep as the water wells! The temperature in places with water can generally be lower, so the wine can be buried beside the spring water, so the temperature can naturally be guaranteed. As for why you have to be by the tree, it is because the roots of this tree can absorb water. If it happens even in rainy days, the wine will not be soaked! The wine ran away!" Tao Jin continued to explain, explaining while beating, and kissing. After all, he has been busy for a day and is very tired.

Yuanbao felt a little embarrassed when he saw Tao Jin like this, and he stopped asking anything else, just said, "Young Master is tired, so let's have a good rest!" In fact, Yuanbao still had many questions in his mind, such as why Tao Jin had to find a direction when digging a hole under the tree, and why?

However, he didn't rush to ask about these things, and Tao Jin wouldn't leave anyway. Yuan Baolin looked at Tao Jin again before lying, and he felt that this young master was different from the previous one. There were many things that made him admire!

Tao Jin and Yuanbao both entered their dreams, and the night became deeper and deeper. However, not everyone could fall asleep in such a late night, such as King Qi.

Li Yuanji looked at Wei Han standing aside, and his sinister eyes were full of anger. Wei Han looked at Li Yuanji with some fear and said, "Prince, I have photographed and investigated all these important things, and I don't even have a picture!"

"Can't find someone? Can he still fly? Let me tell you, you'd better find him, otherwise if he falls into the hands of my second brother or elder brother, I want you to look good!" Li Yuanji's face was full of resentment, and he scolded Wei Han.

Wei Han lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Li Yuanji sat on the chair to relieve his emotions before saying, "What news is there for them?"

"By the prince, this time Yuchi Gong is back, he is highly valued by the Second Prince. He sees that even those of us can't move him!" Wei Han said cautiously.

"All these are expected, and I told them not to act rashly, otherwise we can't sing any drama if we are discovered by my smart second brother!" Li Yuanji seemed tired, and after hearing Wei Han's words, he just raised his eyebrows and said, not getting angry like he had just now.
