Chapter 28 Wang Kang Brewing

When Du Yuanqiao heard Wang Kang say this, his face looked even more ugly. Du's wine is a good wine passed down by his Du family for generations. Only after repeated improvements can he have a great reputation.

Wang Kang now casually said that he could brew better wine than his Du family, and he was so confident.

How is this possible? Can a prodigal son still be a wine-making master?

He originally thought that Wang Kang was just simply curious to tell him those private matters, but now it seems that his purpose is also impure.

He actually coveted his first-grade pavilion, but Liu Shan wanted to make a fortune, and Wang Kang might have just started his mind and wanted to make a fortune!

Thinking of this, Du Yuanqiao said directly: "I don't know how Mr. Kang is preparing to make wine. I have complete brewing utensils here..."

Wang Kang looked at Du Yuanqiao and understood the latter's meaning, which was nothing more than letting him brew it now, so that there would be no chance of fraud.

It's really interesting. This guy was originally quite kind, but he changed his face as soon as he picked up wine.

The reputation of being framed and destroyed, and the family suffered great troubles. I believe Du's wine is the only pillar in his heart.

But this is also good. Only by defeating the opponent in the field that he is best at will he be completely convinced.

In Wang Kang's vision, Du Yuanqiao is a very important part and must be accepted. Du Yuanqiao came from the Du family. Even if his winemaking skills are not as good as his father, he must be a master-level figure.

With him, Wang Kang can be the boss with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Wang Kang said directly: "Just do what you said. Now I will brew it in your winery, so that you can convince you!"

Both of them were dissatisfied with each other and wanted to prove themselves that their efficiency was naturally extremely high. Under the guidance of Du Yuanqiao, they came to the backyard of Yipin Pavilion.

It turns out that the Du family’s winery is here, and the area is not very large, but it has a complete range of utensils, including pottery cauldrons for cooking, big mouths for fermentation, leaky jars for filtering wine, wine storing wine, etc.

Seeing that Wang Kang looked at him and looked serious, Du Yuanqiao said disdainfully: "Young Master Kang, can you recognize these tools?"

"Of course I met!" Wang Kang naturally responded. Even if he saw these things for the first time, as long as he knew the roughly brewing process, he could correspond to the name.

"Can you use it?" Du Yuanqiao asked again.

"This... doesn't happen!" Wang Kang said truthfully. Knowing it does not mean you can use it. And from his modern perspective, these tools are too backward and bulky.

Moreover, Wang Kang also found that there was no distillation equipment here, which means that they did not have the distillation step at all.

No wonder the wine he drank before was so light, which should be because it was not distilled.

"Is Young Master Kang joking with me?" After hearing what Wang Kang said, Du Yuanqiao said in a bad mood, he felt that this prodigal son was clearly playing with him.

Wang Kang ignored Du Yuanqiao. He knew that no matter how much he said, it was true that he could only do it with his own hands.

Fortunately, although this winery is no longer used frequently, it has complete storage materials.

Wang Kang took some grains of peas, wheat and barley at a certain proportion and moisturized water and washed them first...

He wants to make wine koji, which is the essence of wine making, and the quality of wine koji can directly determine the quality of wine.

According to Wang Kang's observation, winemakers in this era were still relatively backward in making koji, using naturally moldy grains to make koji.

Such wine koji is not bad, but there are too many uncertain factors. The essence of wine koji is actually an enzyme that has a biological catalytic effect.

It can accelerate the conversion of starch, protein, etc. in the grain into sugars, amino acids, and sugars are decomposed into ethanol, that is, alcohol under the action of yeast enzymes.

This is the principle of winemaking. For Wang Kang, who has the entire library in his mind, as long as he thinks, related books will appear. So as long as he understands the principle, winemaking is not complicated for him.

"What are you doing?" Du Yuanqiao asked when he saw Wang Kang washing some grains.

"Make a song!" Wang Kang said without raising his head.

"Making songs?" Du Yuanqiao frowned slightly. When he heard this, he knew that Wang Kang was not a slight understanding of brewing wine, but his method of making songs was unheard of.

As Wang Kang thought, the koji they used to make wine was naturally moldy from the grains, but experienced brewers would choose koji with appropriate moldy time. I have never heard of it, and koji can be made by home.

Wang Kang ignored Du Yuanqiao and devoted himself to the production, moistening water, piled up, grinding, adding water and mixing... and following the procedures step by step.

What he was going to make was Daqu, a maiquette specially used for distilled wine brewing. This kind of koji is many times better than the naturally moldy koji of grains, and is also more advanced.

Different white wines can be brewed by controlling different temperatures during the culture period.

The koji production cannot be completed in a short time, and it is not a day or night. This is Wang Kang's first time brewing wine. He thought that he could directly suppress Du Yuanqiao, so he also worked very hard.

In the next few days, Wang Kang spent most of his time in this winery. Because the equipment was incomplete, he needed to control many things himself...

During this period, Du Yuanqiao, who had been by Wang Kang, gradually became solemn from the initial disdain.

He is a child of the Du family and is naturally a master of winemaking. Although he is not as good as his father, he still has eyesight. It is naturally obvious that Wang Kang is indeed brewing wine, and it is a method he has never seen before.

The fermentation of the wine has begun, and even the smell of wine has begun to spread, and Du Yuanqiao's shock has become bigger and bigger.

Looking at the two jars of wine in front of him, Wang Kang also felt a sense of accomplishment. This was his hard work for several days.

One jar contains a fresh fragrance type, and the other jar contains a strong fragrance type. Two completely different aromas of wine are lingering. Wang Kang sniffs it gently, and that's right, it's this familiar smell.

"Young Master Kang...this?"

Du Yuanqiao looked at Wang Kang in disbelief. This prodigal son really knows how to make wine, and it is this kind of wine he has never seen before.

Although I haven't tasted it, just by smelling it, his wine is hidden...

Not OK yet, this is not the final product, it is still the last step away, and it is also a relatively troublesome step, distillation! Wang Kang pondered.

It was not that this step was troublesome, but that there were no suitable utensils and glass tubes. In the end, Wang Kang used bamboo instead.

The distillation equipment is not professional,

The temperature is difficult to control, and the efficiency is even lower. It took another two days before Wang Kang finally completed it.

Yipin Pavilion lobby.

Wang Kang called Du Yuanqiao over, poured a bowl of them respectively, and said with a smile: "Master Du, you can taste it!"

Du Yuanqiao couldn't move his eyes as soon as he saw that the wine in the bowl was pure and transparent, mellow and mellow... He was shocked.

"There is such a good wine in this world?"
