Chapter 351 Making Bamboo Wine
In addition to the bamboo house, preparations for the bamboo wine also began.
After all, Lao Daitou is old, and he is mainly responsible for directing and supervising the construction of the bamboo house, while the heavy physical work is done by Lao Daitou's eldest son and the villagers!
Lao Daitou devoted most of his energy to his favorite business of brewing bamboo wine.
After following Lao Daitou and observing for several days, Gu Chang deeply realized that the production process of bamboo wine was so difficult!
The authentic method of making bamboo tube wine is quite complicated and takes a lot of time.
In the process of being busy, Lao Daitou did not forget to explain in detail to Gu Chang beside him: "This bamboo wine has to go through four important stages: first, it is the original wine, then the seed wine, then the growing wine, and finally it can be brewed into the finished wine."
"The so-called raw liquor is actually brewed according to the conventional method."
"The key to the unique aroma of the wine in the bamboo tube lies in the main raw materials used - high-quality corn and sorghum puree."
“After careful selection and processing, these two materials are skillfully blended together and transformed into a base wine with a mellow taste and rich aroma through a specific brewing process.”
“The next step is to enter the crucial phase – growing wine.”
"So-called planting wine is not simply pouring base wine into bamboo, but it is necessary to drill a small hole precisely at the bamboo joint when the bamboo is still in the seedling stage. Then, use a syringe to carefully inject the base wine into it. After the wine is injected, it is necessary to seal the hole with special items to ensure that the wine does not leak."
The old man continued: "During the operation, we need to pay special attention to some details. For example, we can only inject wine once every three to four months, and a bamboo can only hold three sections of wine. If too much is injected, the bamboo will easily get "drunk" or even die!"
Gu Chang couldn't help but joked: "Haha, I didn't expect this bamboo to have such a low alcohol tolerance!"
"The fusion of wine and bamboo allows the wine to fully absorb the rich nutrients contained in the bamboo. Bamboo, as a gift from nature, absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and gathers the essence of the sun and the moon. Through the natural purification effect of the bamboo, the harmful ingredients in the base wine are greatly reduced."
"When the lid of the finished bamboo wine is opened, a rich aroma hits you, making you intoxicated, as if you are in a fairyland. Before you even taste the wine, you are already intoxicated by it."
Gu Chang couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "So, how long does it take to complete such a winemaking process?"
The old man smiled and replied: "There is no doubt that this process does require enough patience and time. Usually, it takes at least 2-4 years, and the longer the time, the more mellow and fragrant the taste of the wine will be, which will make people linger!"
"It takes so long?" Gu Chang said in shock.
Gu Chang had always believed that this task would only take a few months at most!
"Therefore, if production is carried out in this way, its speed and output are actually extremely limited. Only through large-scale planting and production can we ensure a certain amount of output." The old man couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Gu Chang was puzzled: "But why are there so many bamboo wines on the market? How are they made?"
The old man replied angrily: "Of course it's fake! Just mix it with some dyes and add a little flavoring, as long as it can be guaranteed not to kill people after drinking it."
Gu Chang thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case.
"The brewing process of bamboo tube wine, which is made in full compliance with standard processes, is undoubtedly more complicated than other types of liquor, so the price of this type of liquor is bound to be higher than that of ordinary alcoholic products."
The old man nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, the real bamboo wine must be very expensive!"
"The finished wine is amber in color, crystal clear, golden green in color, with a rich and mellow aroma, soft and refreshing taste, dense, sweet and refreshing..."
"It contains extremely high nutritional value, rich in various vitamins, dietary fiber, and trace elements necessary for the human body. After drinking bamboo wine, women will become more youthful and beautiful, and men will become stronger and stronger..."
The old man started bragging again.
After hearing this, Gu Chang always felt that something was not right!
It’s just like the slogan, women can’t stand it when men eat it, and men can’t stand it when women eat it!
