The grape harvest season has finally arrived, and looking up at the bunches of plump and plump purple grapes hanging on the vines is very tempting. When picking grapes, the female monks are the most active!
After picking Cheng Zhong Qing Mo reminded them to pay special attention not to pull with hands or break the peel. If the cleaned Cheng Zhong pulp comes into contact with water, it will affect the quality of the wine!
If there are bad fruits, you should pick them out and throw them away in time. You should also pay special attention to the cleaning process. Don't use too much force. Bai Shuang on the grape skins is the best natural fermentation agent. After washing, put it in a basket and drain it. Moisture will also affect the quality of the wine!
Since these grapes are carefully taken care of by the senior sisters of Qing Mo, they also want to experience the fun of making wine by themselves, so just let Qing Mo take charge and talk on the side!
Feng Cai'er's Azure Cloud Peak also grows a lot of grapes. This time Wen Wan is here to make wine. She brought some female disciples from Azure Cloud Peak to learn from them. After returning to Azure Cloud Peak, they also started making wine!
Drain the water from the grapes and separate the grape pulp and grape stems. Crush the grapes with the stems removed by hand. The ratio of grapes to sugar is ten to one. Here Qing Mo chose to add rock sugar!
If you like your drink to be sweeter, you can choose a ratio of ten to three. Sugar is also an important part of fermentation Cheng Zhong. First put a layer of crushed rock sugar at the bottom of the container used to make wine, and then add the crushed grapes into it!
Rock sugar can be added multiple times in the middle. The fermentation should be placed in a warm place. Do not close the lid and do not fill it full. Leave a third of the space for the fermentation of the grape juice. Do not cover it too tightly, otherwise there is a risk of explosion!
After finishing it, Qing Mo told them to stir it twice a day with a clean wooden spoon starting from the second day of storage. The purpose is to let the grape skins floating on the top return to the bottom and participate in fermentation!
After seven days of fermentation, if you see that the grape pulp has changed color and there are not many small bubbles emerging, you can prepare to remove the residue. Do not soak the grapes in the grape barrel for too long, as this will also affect the quality of the wine!
Everyone listened very carefully. The female disciples of Feng Cai'er all took pens and papers to write down what Qing Mo said verbatim, for fear of missing any detail!
Finally, use a funnel and sieve to filter the wine into a clean container. After it settles, pour it into another container. During this process, be gentle and don't stir the bottom!
The container cannot be made of iron, and the whole process must not be stained with a little oil or water. The temperature must be controlled well. The freshly made wine will be a little turbid, but it will be ready to drink in about 25 days!
The taste is best after half a year to a year. Qing Mo explained that everyone nodded repeatedly at the end. Feng Cai'er watched her female disciple record all the details of making wine. Then she led her disciples to bow to the Supreme Elder and leave, and immediately returned to Azure Cloud Peak!
The grapes on their side have all matured, allowing the disciples to brew their own wine according to the method taught by Qing Mo!
The Supreme Emperor also took Du Shengcai to watch. He also planned to bring this method back to the Qinwu Imperial Dynasty, so that they would also have their own wine to drink!
Qing Mo Here, for the birthday banquet of the Supreme Elder, he was also thinking about what dishes to make to support him. After finalizing it many times, he wrote a menu and gave it to the Supreme Elder!
When he just walked out of the room, he saw the Supreme Elder lying on the deck chair in the courtyard and slowly rocking. The leaves on the vines in the courtyard helped him block most of the sunlight. This old man was living a life of retirement!
The same goes for the Emperor next to him, Bai Ruyi and Wu Menghan. Last time when Bai Ruyi went to pick him up at Qing Mo's restaurant, he found a nice deck chair in his yard and planned to get it when he came back!
Taking an afternoon break under the grapevines in the yard is also a good choice. Finally, Qing Mo decided to change the lounge chair into a rocking chair, which would be more comfortable!
Qing Mo came to the side of the Supreme Elder and said, "The Supreme Elder, I have written out the menu for your birthday banquet. Do you want to take a look?"
Hearing Qing Mo's words, everyone who had their eyes closed instantly opened their eyes. This is also the first time Qing Mo has cooked a banquet. I wonder what kind of delicious dishes he has arranged, which makes everyone very curious!
The Supreme Elder smiled and said, "Old man, let me see what delicious dishes Qing Mo boy has arranged!"
Qing Mo handed the menu to the Supreme Elder, and others quickly gathered in front of the Supreme Elder. They also wanted to take a look at the menu arranged by Qing Mo for this birthday banquet!
Vegetarian cold dishes: hand-beaten cucumbers, cold cloud fungus, cold kelp, crispy radish skin, kidney beans with distiller's grains, and three shredded cold vegetables!
Cold meat dishes: marinated platter, pickled pepper chicken feet, garlic white meat, boiled shrimp, boiled chicken, salted duck!
Hot dishes: Di Sanxian, braised pork with taro, braised beef with soy sauce, roasted sea cucumber with green onion, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, cumin lamb chops, steamed fish, boiled cabbage heart!
Soup: Fungus-flavored pigeon soup!
Staple food: Pan-fried buns, milk-flavored steamed buns!
Seeing the dishes on the menu, from the cold dishes at the beginning to the staple food at the end, the Supreme Elder and the others couldn't help but nod their heads. They could imagine that on the day of the birthday banquet, the people at the banquet would definitely show surprised expressions. This time they would definitely give Morning Cloud Sect a good face!
After reading the menu, the Supreme Elder smiled and said, "Okay, just follow the menu on that day! Let Bai Yatou and Wu Yatou help you prepare anything you need!
If you need manpower, go to Wen Yatou and ask for manpower. If you need anything else, boldly ask, and the old man will satisfy you!"
The Supreme Emperor looked at Qing Mo with eyes full of longing. If the Supreme Elder hadn't been here, and if Morning Cloud Sect and Qinwu Imperial Dynasty had been friends for generations, he would have wanted to take Qing Mo directly back to the Qinwu Imperial Dynasty!
The elder Taishang noticed that the old guy next door was looking at Qing Mo in a wrong way again, and quietly pulled Qing Mo behind him. Now he must always be on guard against Qing Mo being kidnapped by him!
Seeing Qing Mo being pulled behind the old guy, the Supreme Emperor rolled his eyes and said, "How about I ask the royal chefs in the palace to come over and help? They all have some cooking skills!
Although I can't compete with that kid Qing Mo, I can at least compete with you, Morning Cloud Sect, the disciple who just brought me here without any foundation!"
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder immediately said, "You can bring people over to help, but as many people come back as they come back, don't even think about sneaking away Qing Mo boy!"
Hearing what the Supreme Elder said, the Supreme Emperor quickly said, "Old man! Don't talk nonsense! Old man, I walk and sit upright, how could I do such a thing!
Stop slandering my innocence! Humph~"
Seeing that there was something wrong with the Emperor's facial expression, and that he lacked the confidence to speak, everyone could only hold back their laughter but did not dare to laugh!
Compared with the cheerful kitchen courtyard under the Morning Cloud Sect Purple Cloud Peak, the two people in the cellar of Qing Mo Restaurant are more than a little miserable. As long as Chu Yun'er and Cang Lanyue have time, they will go in and torture them!
For Qu Yangwei and Wang Jianren, now they can neither survive nor die. In order to prevent them from being unable to withstand such torture, Mo Wangshu also made each of them take a pill to keep them alive!
Chu Yun'er and Cang Lanyue used all the criminal laws of the United Moon Sect on them more than once. Anyway, as long as they control the intensity and do not kill them directly!
The power of the elixir will make them grow new flesh again, restore their vitality, and then accept the inhumane torture again!
Time passed in a hurry, and when the wine was ready to drink, the Supreme Elder, Wen Wan and Feng Cai'er gathered in the small courtyard, preparing to take the lead in tasting the wine Morning Cloud Sect brewed for the first time!
Looking at the deep purple wine in the glass, a wine aroma with a light fruity aroma floated in the small courtyard. Taking a sip, the wine slowly entered the stomach along the throat. The smooth taste and elegant wine aroma made their eyes light up!
Wen Wan slowly opened her eyes from the intoxication. Because this is wine made from the grapes in Immortal Cultivation World, the beauty and beauty effect was immediate and it soon took effect on her face!
It made her already smooth face even more charming, which made her even more ecstatic. After all, a lot of wine was brewed this time. She could drink it whenever she wanted without having to eat pig trotters made by Qing Mo to achieve this effect like before!
The elder Taishang slowly said, "It tastes good, but the old man still likes those Yuehuaxueyue wines brewed by Qing Mo boy. This wine doesn't feel very strong!"
Qing Mo smiled and said, "Actually, it is normal that women like wine more. Men prefer those strong wines. After all, those wines are enjoyable to drink!
But wine needs to be tasted slowly to taste. If you drink it in one sip, it will no longer be the way to drink wine!"
Feng Cai'er held the mirror in her hand and looked at the changes in her face after drinking wine. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect the effect to be so good. From now on, I will only drink wine!"
From now on, we will plant grapes every year to make wine, and if we can't finish the wine, we can give it away to others, which is great!"
Qing Mo looked at the wine in his hand and said casually, "Glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine. If you want to drink, Pipa will remind you immediately!"
When the Supreme Emperor heard the two lines of poetry recited by Qing Mo, he immediately looked over and said, "I didn't expect that boy Qing Mo not only cooks well, but even the poems he recited are quite artistic! But why does it sound incomplete?"
Others also looked at Qing Mo, guessing what the second half of the poem was about. At this time, Qing Mo spoke again, "Jun Moxiao, who is lying drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times!"
The Supreme Emperor immediately shouted, "The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink, play the pipa immediately. Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times! Well, what a poem!"
This poem makes me feel like I have returned to my youth, when scenes of defending my family and country and fighting on the battlefield came to mind one by one!"
The Emperor took a sip of the wine in his hand, closed his eyes again and recalled the glorious years of his youth. Others were greatly impressed when they heard that Qing Mo casually composed such a good poem!
Du Shengcai returned to the Qinwu Imperial Dynasty with the emperor's order. After explaining the situation to the emperor, he came to the Morning Cloud Sect with hundreds of royal chefs!
Du Shengcai came to Qing Mo, pointed at the crowd behind him and said, "Brother Qing Mo, these are the royal chefs in the palace. They all have some basic skills. You can use them as you like!"
Originally they were a little dissatisfied, why should they come here to listen to a mortal when they are all royal chefs, but when Du Shengcai explained the situation to them!
And after cooking two delicious dishes in front of them in the palace, everyone knew that this was a good opportunity for them to improve their cooking skills. Everyone cooperated with Qing Mo's instructions and did whatever they were asked to do without any complaints!
The Supreme Elder nodded when he saw that these people were very obedient to Qing Mo's orders. Originally, he was worried that these accomplished royal chefs would not look down on Qing Mo, a mortal, but he didn't expect to settle them with just two dishes!
Seeing that the royal chefs in the palace were working hard, Qing Mo didn't mind teaching them two tricks. When I was originally thinking about what to eat tonight, Qing Mo remembered that there seemed to be fish in the small stream in the back mountain, so let's get some grilled fish to try!
Qing Mo looked at Du Shengcai and Bai Ruyi and said, "Master Du, let's get some grilled fish to try today. Could you please go get some fish from the stream in the back mountain?
Senior Sister Bai, I will draw some things needed for grilled fish later. Please try to get some back later. Let's eat grilled fish tonight!"
After Qing Mo finished speaking, he picked up the pen and paper and started drawing. Bai Ruyi was waiting on the side. Du Shengcai quickly flew to the back mountain of Purple Cloud Peak. After the Supreme Elder and Supreme Emperor heard that there were new dishes tonight, the two old children ran over again!
As soon as the Supreme Emperor entered the small courtyard, he said loudly, "Qing Mo, how are you guys? Are the chefs I called here okay? They don't dare to show off to you, do they?
Whoever dares to show off to me and tell me, I will deal with him personally!"
"Meet the Supreme Emperor!"✘N
Seeing the Emperor's attitude towards Qing Mo, all the royal chefs were thankful that they had not given him a handsome look before, otherwise their lives might have been in danger!
Qing Mo said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, these royal chefs are all talented and well-spoken! They all work hard and without complaint, and they don't give me any shame!"
Hearing Qing Mo's words, the Supreme Emperor nodded with confidence, and then said, "Just now I and this old guy heard that you were going to bake fish. Can fish be grilled? Is it delicious?"
Qing Mo replied, "It must be delicious. You still don't believe in my craftsmanship? I guarantee you will drink two more glasses of wine later!"
It didn't take long for Du Shengcai to get some plump river fish. Qing Mo immediately killed them, cut them with knives, and prepared the ingredients!
Qing Mo said while cooking, "This grilled fish is grilled first and then stewed. The skin is crispy and the fish is tender and tender. It is especially delicious. It is also a good delicacy when paired with the cooked sauce and side dishes!"
When the royal chefs heard what Qing Mo said, they all had a new understanding of grilled fish. After all, they basically steamed fish!
Even when grilling fish, you kill the fish, insert a wooden stick into the fish body, and grill the whole fish directly on the charcoal fire until the fish is cooked. However, they found that when Qing Mo changed the knife, the cut was very deep, and then the whole fish became very flat when pressed hard!
While Qing Mo was marinating the fish, Bai Ruyi also brought back the grilled fish clips, grilled fish plates and matching stove that Qing Mo needed. Qing Mo immediately lit the fire and burned the charcoal. When the charcoal burned red, he put the fish on the grilled fish clips and grilled it!
Everyone is looking intently at Qing Mo's method of grilling fish. First dry the surface of the fish, then brush it with oil continuously, and constantly turn the fish body over the charcoal fire to ensure that both sides are evenly heated!
When you smell the aroma of the grilled fish, and the fish skin and meat are slowly browned, Qing Mo sprinkles salt, chili powder and a little cumin powder, and then the green Mo Rang Du Shengcai continues grilling!
He went into the kitchen to make the sauce needed for grilled fish, and many royal chefs also followed him to learn. After the sauce is cooked, the fish can be removed from the fire!
First put the leek and bean sprouts on the bottom of the baking pan, then put the grilled fish on top. Place fried peanuts, cucumbers, soft tofu, enoki mushrooms and other side dishes on the four corners of the baking pan!
Pour the sauce over the fish, then sprinkle dried chili pepper and green garlic on top, then pour it with hot oil, and the aroma will come out instantly!
