Chapter 186 Learning to Brew

Niangzi Ao was stunned by Su Qin's shout.

Why did she seem to hear Madam Su’s voice just now?

Su Qin grinned at her, "Namniang Ao, it's me, Tinglan's mother."

Niangzi Ao stared at her eyes and looked Su Qin from the head in surprise, saying in disbelief: "You are Tinglan's mother?! Then why are you dressing up?"

Su Qin smiled and said, "The child's father is gone. I dressed like this to facilitate walking outside, otherwise, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid someone will gossip."

Niangzi Ao understood immediately and couldn't help but show a sympathy look, "It's not easy for you, you're raising your two children."

Su Qin smiled and said, "It's nothing. They are all good kids. With some savings at home, they don't have a hard time. However, they haven't told you before, which makes you misunderstand. I'm so embarrassed."

Ao Niangzi felt really embarrassed, "Shocked, what's the matter? Your idea is right. The world is not fair. It's really unsafe for you to walk outside as a woman. It's good to dress like this. You don't have to worry about anything else. Everyone is a woman and can understand your difficulties."

Su Qin had a good impression of this chubby Niangzi Ao. After talking to her, she was not worried about anything else.

She didn't have to explain to others. I think Niangzi Ao would definitely let those women who want to protect the media know the truth.

After delivering Zhouzhou, Su Qin bought some snacks in the county, drove a carriage to Huaishu Village, and found Old Man Guan.

He took the snacks out of the car, then carried Yueyue out of the car, held the child in one hand and nodded in the other, and knocked on the door that closed the old man.

Old Man Guan didn't recognize her in a men's outfit and asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Su Qin smiled and said, "Uncle Guan, I came to buy wine a few days ago and said I would introduce you to the one who is the master of the winery."

Old Man Guan looked at her up and down several times before asking, "Are you here today to pick me up and go to work?"

Su Qin shook her head: "It's not that fast. The winery has just started construction and it will take some days. I'm here today to ask how to make wine."

When Old Man Guan heard this, he shook his head: "The girl can't learn winemaking, it's too hard for her to learn it. And I don't plan to accept an apprentice."

Su Qin smiled and stuffed the snacks into his arms, "If you don't teach me, how can you know I can't learn? If you don't plan to accept an apprentice, then don't accept it. Just give me some advice, how about it?"

Old Man Guan frowned, "You don't want to invite me if you want to learn how to make wine by yourself, right?"

Su Qin was amused and crying, "Am I the kind of person who is untrustworthy? Besides, you just said that brewing wine is too hard and I can't do that job? I am just interested in brewing wine and want to learn the basics. I want to really make good wine, but I don't become an apprentice for ten or eight years, and I can become a teacher? When I can brew good wine, my winery will probably collapse."

When Old Man Guan thought about it, he was indeed so reasonable.

Brewing wine is not a job, it is accumulated through years of experience. Take his craftsmanship for example, there is no better thing in Qifu County than him, but he did not have such a good craftsmanship before, and he has not yet figured out it out year by year.

So Old Man Guan gave up the road, let them mother and daughter come in, and then led them to the backyard to see his wine-making guys.

Although Old Man Guan closed his winery, the brewing tools he had used for half his life were carefully placed. For these tools, he made a special room.

After opening the door, the old man Guan pointed to the tools and introduced them one by one, "Look, this is a soaking bucket, that is a hand knife, this is a cube, a mash bucket..."

He carefully explained the purpose of each tool.

Su Qin listened with relish. It turned out that there were so many tools alone in brewing wine!

Old Man Guan finished talking about the tools, turned around and got some glutinous rice over, "Come here, wash the rice."

Old Man Guan rudely asked Su Qin to go over and work.

Su Qin was not vague, so she asked Yueyue to squat on the side and play, went forward to take the corn, dug the well water, and washed the rice.

After washing, Su Qin followed Old Man Guan’s instructions and soaked the rice in water. As it was hot today, it only took a short while for soaking the glutinous rice and it was completely opened.

Old man Guan instructed Su Qin to pour the rice into a container specially used for steaming rice, and asked her to burn the fire.

Su Qin looked embarrassed: "Uncle Guan, I'm afraid I'll order your house in a while."

Old Man Guan looked at her in disbelief: "You can't even burn a fire?"

Su Qin laughed awkwardly, "I really can't do this."

Old Man Guan was speechless, "You get up."

Originally he wanted her to learn, but he thought that his house was worth a few dollars. If he was really ordered, it would be a big loss. So he decided to burn the fire by himself.

It takes a long time to steam the wine, but this time I don’t prepare much ingredients, so it will take one and a half hours to steam it.

Pour the steamed glutinous rice out and spread it cool. Old Man Guan went back to the house and took out a piece of rosy brick, and then said to Su Qin proudly: "Do you know why the wine I brew better than others? The reason is in this wine. Qu is the soul of wine. If Qu is not good, no matter how much you brew this wine, it will be useless."

After bragging about his own chorus, Old Man Guan took some wine chorus from the chorus bricks, rolled it finely with a clean rolling pin, and then mixed it evenly in the wine.

Then fill the mixed wine with a large tank and compact it, take out a nest in the middle, seal the hole, and place it in the right place.

"Next, wait for it to ferment. Now it's hot, it's enough for four or five days a day. Wait for four or five days and you come back again in four or five days, and I'll teach you how to steam wine."

The freshly brewed wine has very low purity and must be steamed to obtain a higher concentration of wine.

Su Qin blinked, "It's that simple? You guys are useless."

Old Man Guan snorted and said, "It's not enough to use those guys to just use wine. The method I'm going to show you is naturally simple. When you really make wine, you will know what craftsmanship is."

Su Qin hissed: "Uncle Guan, you are so confident that you can hide your personal information."

Old Man Guan smiled proudly, "Have you heard that before? The master was starved to death by the teacher. If I didn't hide my personal life, my winery would not be able to be opened for eight hundred years."

Su Qin didn't say much. Why should she give the experience accumulated by others without reservation? Today's method is enough for her. When she goes back to learn how to do it, she will definitely be able to make wine.

But there is one thing she doesn't have.

"Uncle Guan, I'll just make your wine and music even more."

Old Man Guan guessed that she might want to go home and make trouble, so she was not stingy. She got a piece from Qu brick for her, "This is a good thing, don't throw money on me."
