After Li Yang had breakfast, he began to work on his wine-making business.
At this time, Li Xiaoniu and Li Caiting, who had agreed to come to help yesterday, also rushed over early.
"Brother, we are here, what should we do next?" Li Xiaoniu, who was full of energy, asked eagerly as soon as he walked into the yard.
Li Yang pointed at the wooden steamer that had regained its firmness after being soaked overnight, and said with a smile:
"There are a lot of things to do today! I'll make sweet wine in the morning. Now you can help me steam the glutinous rice!"
The glutinous rice was soaked by Li Yang when he got up in the morning. It had been soaked for about three hours at this time. When he crushed it with his hands, the glutinous rice could be crushed into pieces. It was a good time to put it in the pot for steaming.
People in Taojiu Village have been doing this job since they were young, and they are very good at steaming glutinous rice.
Li Xiaoniu lit the fire, and Li Caiting washed the rice. Soon, the glutinous rice was on the pot.
Li Yang came to the low house, took out a sealed clay jar from the cupboard in the corner and opened it.
The jar was filled with red rice grains, and a strong aroma of wine hit the face the moment the jar was opened.
This is red wine yeast made by fermenting spicy rice and glutinous rice. It is also a must-have for brewing rice wine or sweet wine.
Looking at these red wine yeasts, a trace of reminiscence flashed across Li Yang's face.
This is a red wine koji made by his parents when they were still alive. Now three years have passed, although everything has changed, but this wine koji has not deteriorated at all.
His parents made these koji in order to brew more wine and sell it so that they could make money for Li Yang to go to college.
Nowadays, Jiuqu is still there, but he and his parents are separated by yin and yang, and he has not entered the university class after all.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold on to the jar with his hand, and the hatred that had been suppressed for three years suddenly surged in his heart.
It's just that hate returns hate, but the three years without seeing the light of day made Li Yang calmer than anyone else.
He knew very well that with his current ability, let alone revenge, he couldn't even find out who stole his college entrance examination results.
There is no rush!
There is absolutely no rush!
Now that I have the inheritance of "Qinglian Drunken Immortal Art", as long as I keep my feet on the ground and develop step by step, I will have my revenge one day.
Li Yang kept comforting himself in his heart until his mood completely returned to calm, then he hugged the red wine yeast and walked back to the yard step by step.
At this time, Li Xiaoniu and the others had already steamed the glutinous rice. The rich aroma of rice wafted in the yard, making people salivate.
However, the three of them, Li Yang, all grew up eating glutinous rice and had no idea about eating this stuff.
However, thinking of Su Qianying, Li Yang still took a bowl and put a large bowl of glutinous rice aside so that he could taste it when she came back.
The remaining glutinous rice is poured into a bamboo dustpan to cool, and then an appropriate amount of red wine yeast is evenly mixed in.
Making sweet rice wine is actually very simple. Let the glutinous rice cool, mix in red wine yeast, then pour it into a wine jar, add cold boiled water, and let it ferment for a while.
When the weather is warm in spring and summer, basically one or two days will be enough. In winter when the weather is cold, fermentation will take a few more days.
Of course, if you want the alcohol content to be higher, you can also add more red wine yeast. Anyway, there is really no technical content in making sweet rice wine.
Naturally, the price of sweet rice wine is not high, and many times it is even sold as a drink.
However, of course, Li Yang couldn't put in the effort to make unprofitable wine. When Li Xiaoniu was loading the glutinous rice mixed with distiller's yeast into a jar and preparing to put it in cold boiled water, he reached out to stop him.
He returned to the house, used the medicinal materials he bought yesterday, prepared them in a certain proportion, and ordered to Li Caiting:
"Tingting, boil these medicinal materials. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Then mix them into boiled water and pour them into a wine jar to ferment."
Li Caiting, who grew up in Peach Wine Village, naturally couldn't know how to make wine. When she heard this, she was stunned and said:
"Brother, it's just sweet rice wine, no need to add any medicinal ingredients, right?"
"Just do as you are told. My mother's wine is not an ordinary sweet rice wine. You will know how to make it." Li Yang replied with a smile and said no more.
In his inheritance, there are various brewing recipes, and a large part of them are for brewing medicinal wine. These medicinal wines have various effects.
The sweet rice wine he is going to brew today is one of the entry-level medicinal wines. It has a very poetic name, called "Ziyan Tianqing Yong".
The effect is also very simple, nourishing yin and nourishing the skin, moisturizing the skin and improving color.
Li Yang believes that once this sweet and refreshing brew is successfully brewed, it will definitely win the favor of beauty-loving women.
Although Li Caiting was confused, she could be said to obey Li Yang's words now, so she immediately went to boil the medicine.
By the time the medicinal soup is boiled, mixed with cold boiled water and poured into a wine jar, it is already noon.
Li Xiaoniu and Li Caiting were not blind. They knew that Su Qianying was still at home in Li Yang, so they went home without hesitation.
Su Qianying also came back soon, but she did not come back alone.
Behind her, followed a thin woman with yellow hair.
The woman lowered her head deeply, and Li Yang couldn't see her face clearly, so he asked pretending to be confused:
"Who's coming?"
Su Qianying pulled the woman next to her and said softly:
"This is Sun Xiaoxue, Jin Gencai's daughter-in-law. She is sick. She is a little serious. I am going to send her to the hospital in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Li Yang's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have anything to say.
But Jin Gencai is a bit special. He used to be a famous old bachelor in the village.
Because I'm too lazy to eat, and because I'm not good-looking, I won't be able to find a wife even when I'm in my forties.
But two years ago, he suddenly married a daughter-in-law, Sun Xiaoxue. Logically speaking, after finally marrying her, he must love her dearly.
But the Jin Gencai family beat and scolded Sun Xiaoxue because she could not give birth to a child.
But if that's all it is, it doesn't matter, but Jin Gencai's family is a little weird. Sun Xiaoxue can't give birth to a child, so she should go to the hospital for a checkup, and then prescribe the right medicine to treat it.
But their family did not allow Sun Xiaoxue to go for a check-up, or even to the hospital. Instead, they looked for folk remedies everywhere for her to take. Unfortunately, after two years of taking them, there was still no movement.
Now, Su Qianying actually wants to take Sun Xiaoxue to see a doctor. If Jin Gen only knew about it, there would probably be a fuss.
However, he couldn't stop her, but he didn't want Su Qianying to get into trouble, so he said:
"My grandfather used to be an old Chinese medicine doctor in the village. I also learned a little from my grandfather, so why don't I help her take a look first?"
"Even if the problem is not serious, it saves you the trouble of going to the hospital, not to mention the trouble, and the expense!"
While speaking, he reached out and grabbed Sun Xiaoxue's wrist to check for pulse. When he saw the pulse, his expression suddenly became weird.
Because Sun Xiaoxue's pulse showed that she was actually a young girl.
