Yuan Zhou, who went to bed at three in the morning, got up at seven in the morning.
"Fortunately, I'm young." Yuan Zhou looked in the mirror and touched his face. He found that there were no dark circles under his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, with such a mature face, he can still boast. It is conceivable that with Yuan Zhou's thick skin, there will be no dark circles under his eyes.
Yuanzhou felt a little sleepy and went directly to wash up. He splashed cold water on his face and washed a lot instantly.
After checking that there was still half an hour left on the constant-temperature fermentation device, Yuanzhou prepared the ingredients for breakfast. Of course, Yuanzhou, who was in a good mood, prepared the ingredients for the xiaolongbao.
Get ready, it's almost time over there.
He immediately took out the unsealed ceramic jar and placed it on the glass table with a soft "bang".
"Wow"
When the lid was opened, a sweet smell of wine slowly wafted out. The rice inside had condensed into a beautiful circle, and the wine seeped out from the dimple in the middle.
The juice in the middle is clear and transparent. As the opening time slowly becomes longer, the aroma of the wine becomes stronger but not intoxicating. This time is just right for girls to drink.
However, Yuanzhou not only made one portion, but also prepared two portions for his own use. After Yuanzhou took out one portion, he directly put the rest inside to continue fermentation, which would help the wine taste more mellow.
Mu Xiaoyun should have arrived at this time, and Yuan Zhou opened the door directly.
"Boss Yuan, you finally opened the door. What were you doing in there just now? The smell is really delicious." A big man who doesn't come here very often said excitedly.
"Rice wine." Yuan Zhou directly said the answer the big man wanted.
This big man with tangled muscles is Chen Wei, a martial arts instructor from a security company next to him. He is very strong and looks like a tiger. He has been brought here to eat twice.
In his words, "It's as little as feeding a cat, and it makes me even hungrier." Therefore, he doesn't come here often, but he likes the claws that melt in his mouth, so he has been coming more frequently recently.
"I knew it was wine. Boss Yuan, you should have produced wine a long time ago. That chicken feet is a perfect match with wine." Chen Wei walked in with a smile.
"If necessary, order it first." Yuan Zhou said directly.
"No problem, but I'm afraid this wine isn't strong. Can I have something stronger?" Chen Wei has long known the rules here in Yuanzhou, and he abides by them. He himself is an extremely rule-abiding person.
"Okay, it will take a little longer." Yuan Zhou nodded, knowing that this guy likes to drink strong liquor. Even if this kind of rice wine is not distilled, it will be stronger if it takes a little longer.
"Boss Yuan, is this made fresh?" Chen Wei reacted immediately.
"Yes, we're making it now." Yuan Zhou said with a serious look on his face.
"This freshly made wine tastes good without those. It's not that I doubt Boss Yuan's skills, but it just takes time. New wine always has a smell." Chen Wei frowned and said directly.
"No, don't worry." Yuan Zhou was very confident. After all, this raw material can completely solve these problems, and there is also a cheating device like the system.
"How about some rice wine? I'll drink it in three days." Chen Wei readily prepared to pay.
"Sorry, we don't sell alcohol in the morning. You can order it after noon." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Didn't you just say you'll drink it in three days?" Chen Wei said in confusion without turning around.
"The boss means that if you order it at noon today, you can drink it at noon three days later." Seeing Yuan Zhou's unwillingness to explain, Mu Xiaoyun at the side obediently stepped forward and explained.
"Then I'll order it now, and it will be the same in three days." Chen Wei said calmly.
"You can't order this in the morning, so the boss won't order it for you. You have to order it at noon or at night." Mu Xiaoyun said with seriousness on his face.
"Boss Yuan's rules really haven't changed. Okay, I'll come again at noon." Chen Wei didn't plan to have breakfast here.
You must know that Chen Wei needs to eat at least ten steamed dumplings to feel full. It would be too expensive to eat ten of these dumplings, so Chen Wei walked out of the Yuanzhou shop directly, preparing to eat something that would fill him up. .
…
The time soon arrived at the time agreed with Manman at noon. Yuanzhou took out the rice wine, carefully handled it, and packed it so that he could take it out directly.
"Boss Yuan, how do you like my rice wine?" Manman said with a proud look on his face.
"Well, please take a seat." Yuan Zhou pointed to the seat in the sky and said calmly.
"Is it really done?" Manman couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw that there was nothing strange on Yuan Zhou's face.
After all, brewing cannot be learned overnight, otherwise why are there so few brewing masters? With the style of Yuanzhou's small shop, they must produce the best rice wine.
Yuanzhou took out the tray, took out the rice wine that had just been filled, placed it on it, and served it directly to Manman.
The stoneware cup has a wide mouth at the top and a thin mouth at the bottom. At first glance, it looks rough and unsightly. When I held it in my hand, I thought it would be a bit tingly, but I didn't expect it. Instead, it was as delicate as purple sand. When I looked closer, the outer cup Beautiful light green patterns are painted on the wall.
This kind of stoneware cup has a light brown top and a milky white bottom, which is particularly beautiful.
"It smells good." He was observing the cup and was attracted by the sweet aroma of rice wine that kept coming over.
When I looked up, I saw that the rice wine inside was white. The slight shaking not only made the wine more fragrant, but also had some small rice grains floating in it.
"Boss Yuan, aren't you worried about drinking?" Manman asked curiously.
"This is just right for you. Do you need to heat it up?" Yuan Zhou is a very qualified chef, and the hot rice wine tastes good.
"No, this is just right. It will definitely taste sour when it's hot." Manman himself still likes rice wine, as long as he adds eggs and sugar.
Otherwise, it always feels a bit sour. In her imagination, the sour taste must be stronger when it is heated.
Yuanzhou nodded with no intention of correcting Manman.
Manman picked up the cup and took a sip, carefully avoiding it, but accidentally drank a grain of rice.
As soon as I took it into my mouth, a smell of alcohol immediately washed away my nose. I felt that my nose felt much better and more sensitive, and a sweet taste immediately evaporated in my mouth, one with the aroma of wine. It's so sweet that you can't help but swallow it directly.
It stands to reason that after fermentation, the rice grains should be completely empty, leaving only the empty shell. They taste like cotton and cannot be chewed. However, the rice grains eaten slowly are like cooked rice, with a texture Soft but not greasy, with a rich flavor.
After swallowing it in one gulp, Manman wanted to imitate those who drink and shout, "Refreshing."
It was still the reserve in my bones that held back such thoughts.
At this moment, Manman couldn't care about anything else. He picked up the ceramic cup and began to sip it nonstop. While drinking, he showed an expression of enjoyment like a cat eating fish. He looked very cute.
Although Yuanzhou was curious about the smell of wine brewed from rice grains, the business started to get busy at noon... (.)
