Ning Xiyue returned to the Youth League Home and found that the three people who had been practicing boxing were still practicing there, as if they were all waiting for her to come back.
When Chen Yuechu saw her walk in with a jar of wine, he immediately stopped what he was doing and ran over happily.
"How is it, is it finished?"
The other two, Ning Qingyuan and Yu Zhiyu, also stopped what they were doing and gathered around her, very curious about the jar of wine in her hand.
Ning Qingyuan reached out to help hold the wine jar, and patted it curiously, "Little sister, is there wine in this jar?"
Ning Xiyue looked at the three people, all of whom were curious and concerned. She smiled and nodded under their gaze, and invited:
"Yes, it's wine. This jar of wine is my apprentice wine. The masters tasted this wine and then recognized me as an apprentice. Do you want to taste it?"
"good."
The three of them looked at each other with anticipation and nodded vigorously.
Ning Qingyuan rushed to the kitchen holding the wine jar: "Come on, come sit inside."
The three of them sat at the table, their eyes fixed on Ning Qingyuan as he poured the wine.
Smelling the wine, Chen Yechu exclaimed, "What a nice smell."
Chen Yechu's exclusive response was to Zhiyu: "It is indeed fragrant."
Before they drank, the self-aware Ning Xiyue gave them a heads-up to lower their expectations.
"Let me be clear, the taste isn't as good as you might imagine, but it's my first creation."
The passion of the other few people did not subside, and they still picked up the wine glasses with great interest and tasted the wine in the glasses.
Chen Yechu took a sip and found it didn't sting his throat. His eyes lit up immediately and he gave a thumbs up and praised:
"Well, it's quite good, Xiyue, you are being too modest. Although I don't know whether wine is good or bad, I don't think that unpalatable wine is good."
"That's good." Ning Xiyue saw Chen Yechu still drinking and quickly reminded him, "Don't drink anymore. This sorghum wine has a very high alcohol content, over 50 degrees. It's not comparable to the alcohol content of glutinous rice wine. It's easy to get drunk."
"Okay, I won't drink anymore. Glutinous rice wine with low alcohol content is more suitable for me." Chen Yechu put down his wine glass and rubbed his temples. When he mentioned glutinous rice wine, he stood up and ran out of the kitchen quickly: "Xiyue, wait for a moment, I'll go back and get some rice."
"Slow down, there's no rush, you can brew it anytime." Ning Xiyue shouted at her.
Yu Zhiyu followed over to help get it.
"Little sister, you can send this wine to dad. He will be so happy when he gets the wine." Ning Qingyuan put down the wine glass and held the wine jar and looked at it again and again.
"Then send this, and make some glutinous rice wine for mom and dad to send back. This wine is easy to make, has a low alcohol content, and is good for your health."
Ning Xiyue planned to help Chen Yechu make glutinous rice wine while she took out some rice to make some for herself, and also make some fermented glutinous rice wine, which she would use to feed the pigs in the space.
"Xiyue, I'm here." Chen Yetu rushed in.
Yu Zhiyu helped her carry a bucket of glutinous rice.
Chen Yechu pointed to the bucket of glutinous rice and said, "Here are five pounds of glutinous rice. Is that okay?"
"Okay, is there a requirement for the degree?"
"Just the alcohol content you brewed last time, as long as it's equal to or less than that."
"Okay, thankfully you're only making glutinous rice wine. I can only make simpler wines like rice wine right now. I don't have the systematic distillation tools for sorghum wine, which has a slightly more complicated distillation process. If I want to make it again, I'll have to borrow tools from Zhang Jianguo. I don't want to bother anyone, so I won't do it. You can come to me if you want to make rice wine later. It's just for the two of you, don't steal my master's business."
Ning Xiyue explained the situation to them while chatting and laughing.
She learned to brew wine not to make money from others, nor to brew wine for others, but to brew wine for herself, and also to make medicinal wine more conveniently for herself.
"I understand. I also only like to drink glutinous rice wine. From now on, I will stick with you."
Chen Yechu took out the processing fee from his bag, but Ning Xiyue refused.
"I'm brewing this as a gift of friendship. I don't take on commissions. I just told you that. What do you think you understand?"
"Yes, yes, look, I took it out with the wrong hand." Chen Yechu took out a net bag of dried bean curd sticks from his bag: "You liked it last time, I saved some for you."
"Good sisters."
Ning Xiyue took the bean curd sheets without hesitation and patted Chen Yechu's shoulder with a touched look on her face.
"Just wait, you can get your wine in four days."
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." After drinking the sorghum wine, Chen Yechu had blind faith in Ning Xiyue's skills.
Ning Qingyuan and Yu Zhiyu both praised the wine.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for mastering his winemaking skills and gaining recognition from his companions. If the host brews a jar of sorghum wine in the winery in this space, he will be able to exchange it for a super mysterious gift package. Please keep up the good work, host."
Ning Xiyue smiled even more when she heard Tongzi's notice in her mind. She looked at the three people and thanked them sincerely: "Thank you all for your love, thank you."
After finishing today's learning tasks in the evening, Ning Xiyue entered the winery in the space to brew sorghum wine.
She was still very curious about the mysterious gift package after brewing the wine. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and she couldn't miss any gift.
Gao Liang has it in her space, so she can just take it out and use it.
Brewing sorghum wine takes a long time compared to making rice wine. Ning Xiyue has completed all the previous steps in the winery, and now it comes to the longest stage, fermentation.
This gift is not so easy to get.
Ning Xiyue took one last look at the sorghum mixed with yeast in the wooden barrel, sealed it with preservative wax and plastic cloth, patted it, and stood up to look at the sorghum waiting to ferment.
"Now all we can do is wait."
Forty-five days passed in this wait.
The weather outside has reached the hottest month of August.
Ning Xiyue counted the days and found that today was the forty-sixth day of fermentation. It was time to uncover the distilled liquor.
