Chapter 39 Pumpkin Wine

Luo Hui just half pushed, half accepted, half refused and half willing to pick up a cheap apprentice.

Not to mention that this apprentice is really smart. Luo Hui demonstrated the skills while catching eels, and he learned the fish eggs after only two or three times. Luo Hui did not hide the experience he had gained over the past few days.

Taught Yudan. Yudan also quickly mastered everything.

It's just that talent is talent. After all, Yudan is only seven or eight years old. His palm is only so wide and the strength in his hand is limited. When the eel gets to a certain size, it will be difficult for him to do anything. But he also has a way. Once he finds that

It's a big dark hole, so don't catch it but use fishing gear.

After wandering around in the fields for an afternoon, Luo Hui got eleven or twelve kilograms of harvest in his bucket, and he also got six or seven kilograms of fish eggs. This made Luo Hui praise him, and he was very teachable.

It was getting late, so the small team headed back home.

"Yudan, come to my house for dinner tonight." After an afternoon of contact and understanding, Luo Hui fully recognized his cheap apprentice.

"If I can't, Master, I will go back to my home for dinner tonight." Yudan shook his head.

"Isn't it natural for a disciple to have dinner at his master's house? Let's go together."

"If I can't get Master, I still have to go home and help my grandparents feed the pigs and chickens."

"Then after you finish your work, come to Master's house for dinner?"

"Then, okay." Yudan hesitated for a moment, but seeing the sincerity on Luo Hui's face, he finally nodded.

"Is this right?" Luo Hui smiled and patted Yudan's head.

Yudan grinned stupidly, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Luo Hui excitedly and said, "Master, can I treat you to a nice drink?"

"Drink something good? What something good can you drink?" Luo Hui became interested. What kind of good thing can this boy treat him to? Could it be some wild honey or monkey wine that is often written about in rural novels? These are good

It tastes good and is very nutritious.

"You will find out if you follow me." Yudan smiled mysteriously, leading the way through the fields and heading towards the land over there.

The wild peak honey and monkey wine should be in the mountains and forests. How do they get to the crop fields? Luo Hui felt strange. Could it be that he had guessed wrong and they were not these two things? What good things are they?

The fish eggs passed through several corn fields and came to a pumpkin field. It was the season for pumpkins to mature, so the pumpkins in the field were round, big and plump.

"Yudan, why did you bring us to the pumpkin patch?" Niu Niu asked in confusion.

"I won't tell you yet." Yudan's smile was still so mysterious. He stretched out his hand, and as if by magic, three more rice straws made of rice straws appeared in his hand, one for each of Luo Hui and Niu Niu.

He himself lay down in front of a pumpkin that was not too big but very ripe.

"Yudan, are you going to invite us to drink pumpkin wine?" Luo Hui can be considered a person who has gained some experience in rural novels. How can he still not understand it now?

According to descriptions in local novels, pumpkin wine is a very interesting thing, and it is relatively simple to make. Just when the pumpkin is about to mature, poke a hole in it with something, add an appropriate amount of distiller's yeast, and then seal the hole with soil.

It’s done.

There are two things to note here. When choosing pumpkins, choose ones that are eighty or nine degrees ripe. Pumpkins that have already been picked from the vine are not advisable.

The purpose of this is that the half-ripe pumpkin will continue to grow, and it can continue to absorb nutrients before being picked from the vine. This will catalyze the fermentation of the koji in the melon, and at the same time allow the pumpkin wine to

The taste is more fragrant and natural.

As for how it tastes, first of all, it depends on the raw materials, that is to say, the texture of the pumpkin. Of course, the texture of the pumpkin grown by the villagers in Gaojia Village must be excellent. Secondly, it depends on the experience of the person who made the pumpkin wine.

, this is the key among the keys.

"Master, have you ever drank?" Yudan looked at Luo Hui in surprise.

"I've never drunk it, but I've seen introductions to it in books." Luo Hui said and lay down next to the pumpkin.

"Is this pumpkin wine from Yudan delicious? I haven't drunk it either." Niu Niu's bright eyes were sparkling with stars. It seemed that she had also heard of this pumpkin wine.

Yudan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I didn't drink this year's pumpkin wine, and I don't know if it tastes good, but the pumpkin wine I made in the past few years was quite delicious."

"Then let's try it quickly." Luo Hui had some expectations.

Yudan used a small stick to gently poke the pumpkin, but it made a small hole in the pumpkin. Yudan inserted the rice straw in his hand and said, "Master, drink."

Luo Hui was not polite, he held the straw in his mouth and sucked hard, and suddenly a stream of liquid was sucked into his mouth. Luo Hui closed his eyes, smacked his mouth and tasted it for a few times, and couldn't help but nodded secretly. Not to mention that this pumpkin wine was still good.

It’s really interesting. Pumpkin aroma, wine aroma, sweetness, wine flavor, and light sourness. These two aromas and three flavors are entangled together. The taste is very special. It is somewhat similar to the pineapple beer sold on the market. Of course, it is pumpkin wine.

The taste is much more mellow than that.

"Master, does it taste good?" Yudan asked nervously.

"Uncle Xiaohui, does it taste good?" Niuniu swallowed her saliva.

"It tastes good." Luo Hui nodded, squinting his eyes with a look of enjoyment.

After receiving Luo Hui's affirmation, Yudan breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them were just lying around the pumpkin, with their heads one big, two small and three close together, snorting the pumpkin wine. As for Little Black and Little White, Luo Hui had already sent them to the perimeter to guard them, if they were to be seen by others.

This kind of virtue of mine is greatly detrimental to the image of a brilliant and eucalyptus tree facing the wind!

"Ah, it tastes so good." Niu Niu drank a few big gulps in one breath, raised her head and wiped her mouth, then lay back and continued to drink.

The pumpkin wine tasted really good, and soon the three of them drank all the pumpkin. Luo Hui and Niuniu were still a little unfinished, and when they were about to ask if the fish eggs were still there, they raised their fists and punched them.

On the empty pumpkin.

The pumpkin cracked in response to the punch, and the fish egg broke off a small piece and handed it to Luo Hui, saying, "Master, eat it."

"Ha, I forgot that there is something better than this." Luo Hui touched his forehead and took the melon piece with a smile.

This pumpkin weighs about five kilograms, and its flesh is said to be at least four to five centimeters thick, but now after the fermentation and differentiation of the koji, it is less than two centimeters thick.

Luo Hui took a bite of the soft pumpkin flesh. The aroma of pumpkin, wine, sweetness, wine, and sourness were stronger than those of pumpkin wine. It tasted much more enjoyable than drinking pumpkin wine.

The three of them feasted happily, and soon the melon and meat were all consumed.

"Uncle Xiaohui, I'm very full. There's no need to eat tonight." Niu Niu patted her slightly bulging belly, her pink face flushed, and the little girl was a little drunk.

"Master, my stomach is full too. I won't go to your place for dinner tonight." Yudan was also a little drunk and said while stroking his stomach.
