251 The Water in the World

Did this kid give birth to a dog's nose?

The old man surnamed Cai was panicked and quickly covered himself with a wine gourd, as if Zhou Dong sniffed a few more sips of the wine, and he would suffer a great loss.

"For all the water that brews wine, river water is the best. Next is the Gan Well near the river, and mountain spring water is the next.

"Qimin Yaoshu" records: "The so-called method of collecting water is the best way to collect river water. Make koji, soak koji, cook, and brew, and use all river water. If you have no hands, use Ganjing water.'"

Zhou Dong glanced at the old man surnamed Cai: "Old Cai, if I had not made a mistake in my judgment, this gourd 'Shangyaoguang' should be brewed with the heart of the Yellow River, right?"

Before the old man surnamed Cai could reply, Lu Luxin could not help but interrupt and said, "Zhou Dong, please think clearly before you talk about it. "Qimin Yaoshu" was a book from more than a thousand years ago. Is it still appropriate?

Maybe it was difficult to get mountain springs at that time, but it was easy to get river water, so I said this.

There is no reason why the sweet and clear mountain spring water is not as good as the Yellow River water?"

After all, she is just a chef, not a winemaker, and she is also a girl who loves to hold a wombat and eats snacks on the sofa with her wombat behind closed doors.

All the girls in the world are afraid that when they talk about the Yellow River, they will think of the rolling yellow soup covered with mud and sand. When they talk about the mountain spring, they will think of fish swimming in the clear spring water, and they will be thrilled and romanced.

It is indeed a bit difficult to let girls accept the statement that river water is better than mountain spring water.

The old man surnamed Cai smiled and looked at Zhou Dong, clearly listening to his explanation.

He studied "drinking" and "food" in his life, and his preference for wine even exceeded that of various delicacies.

It would be fine if the title of "Zhou Face King" was very upset, but the title of "Zhou Jiu Shen" made him very upset.

Otherwise, I would not have been reluctant to give up my love and took out the "Shang Yaoguang" like a treasure to test Zhou Dong to see if he, the "Dixin God", was exaggerated!

Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "Lu Jintou doesn't know anything.

Not only "Qimin Yaoshu", but Ma Shiqing, the master of the imperial wine in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote "Water Talk", and the manuscript is in my hands.

"Water Talk" also provides a detailed explanation of famous water in the world, and clearly states that river water has been the best water for brewing wine since ancient times, far exceeding the nearby river Ganjing water and various mountain spring waters...

Think about it, where do all kinds of famous wines in our country come from?"

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "The most famous top brands are 80% of them from the Huanghuai Wine Belt and the Chishui River near Zunyi, the Yangtze River.

The Huanghuai white wine belt includes Songhe, Kouzi, Yanghe Sanlan...

The Chishui tributaries of the Yangtze River have several famous "golden flowers", Wuliangye, Luzhou, Langjiu, Mianzhu, Jiannanchun, Maotai, Dongjiu...

All these famous wines cannot circumvent the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. When did you hear that Moutai was brewed by a certain mountain spring? Which 'Yuanjing' is supported by Wuliangye?"

Lu Luxin was a little dissatisfied: "I don't want to believe in famous wines that are not brewed with well water and mountain spring water."

“Yes, of course…”

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Langjiu, Gujinggong, Jiannanchun, Yanghe...

In fact, many brands are using spring water or well water.

However, these spring water and well water are not truly independent mountain springs and underground water wells.

But the near rivers, the near rivers and the near rivers, these springs and wells are actually transformed from rivers or rivers. To put it bluntly, what they use is actually rivers and rivers!

Although it has been filtered through strata, its quality is better than that of the riverside water. The riverside water is far inferior to the "Hexin" and "River Heart" water."

The old man surnamed Cai smiled and said, "What do you think is the reason?"

From the beginning of the King of Zhou, the God of Baccarat Zhou to the Boy Zhou, now they have called him "Little Friend".

Zhu Yanping quietly glanced at the old man surnamed Cai and smiled in his heart. Before he knew it, this senior diligently put Zhou Dong at the same position as himself. Brother Zhou is amazing.

"Haha, is Mr. Cai trying to test me? Then I'll talk about it...

The first way to make wine is wine koji. With wine koji, it becomes very important to use water in the fermentation process.

The various ingredients contained in the brewing water are closely related to the growth of microorganisms, the formation and action of enzymes, and the fermentation of mash or mash until the quality of the finished wine.

If the water quality is poor, the various ingredients contained in the water are not rich enough, or too rich, it will cause the fermentation of the burger lees, the growth of Aspergillus is slow, the rise of the koji temperature is slow, and the growth of yeast is poor, which will affect the formation of aroma-producing substances, and may even cause bitter taste, abnormal odor, discoloration, precipitation and other phenomena.

The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are two long-standing mother rivers in China.

Through various terrain and landforms along the way, it not only integrates snow-capped mountains and clean water, but also integrates countless spring veins along the way. These spring veins are hard or soft and contain various elemental components.

So we need to compare whether the components in the water quality are rich. How can those independent mountain springs or independent underground wells compare to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River?

This is why those independent springs and independent underground wells cannot support a famous wine brand!”

"Old Zhou is really awesome. When it comes to water making wine, I am really inferior to him..."

When Huai Liang heard this, he felt a little grateful. Fortunately, the Xiangjiang Food Competition is not as good as teaching students or making wine. Otherwise, wouldn’t he lose?

But the girl was careful, and Lu Luxin quickly caught the point: "No, according to you, the ingredients contained in the water are too rich and not good. Is there no problem with the Yellow River and the Yangtze River?"

"Precisely because of the need to consider this issue, some wine brewing masters and wine-making companies from ancient times have gone through countless attempts to find the most suitable waters for wine-making.

The Yangtze River runs across the east and west of China, but why are several famous wines in Chishui and Zunyi areas?

This is because if you don’t have the area, the ingredients in the water are not enough! After you pass this area, the ingredients in the water are too rich. Only such a section of the river can make you famous wine!”

Zhou Dong thought for a while and said, "And for this section of the river, the best thing is to be said to be 'River'.

However, it is difficult to obtain river water. Not only does it require experienced masters, but also a set of ancient water intake tools. It is not only troublesome to operate, but also very expensive. Therefore, even for old-fashioned enterprises like Moutai and Wuliangye, only a very small number of wines are brewed with real "jiangxin water", which is a treasure that may not be bought with money.

The wine they mass-produced was only taken from the water from the "Origami Spring" or the "Origami Well". As recorded in "Qimin Yaoshu": "A family without hand strength uses Ganjing water ears."

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Cai couldn't help but applaud and laugh: "Well said it! My friend is indeed one of us!

But my old man also wants to ask my friend, may you judge which section of the water of this gourd ‘Shangyaoguang’ comes from?”

Zhou Dong looked at him: "Old Cai, you have no reason,

It is very difficult to judge based on the aroma of the wine that the gourd is brewed with the Yellow River water. Do you also want me to tell which section of water it is?

Then I have to take a sip first, otherwise I can’t do anything!”
