In the courtyard of his home.
Second Uncle was holding a small knife and peeling the sheep skin off the slaughtered lamb.
There was also a large basin of clean water beside him for washing.
Da da--
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Jiang Yuan and Lin Ziqi riding their horses and running into the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
"Phew!"
"Second Uncle, are you busy?"
Jiang Yuan shouted heroically.
"Yes, I'm almost done peeling the sheepskin. I just need to process the internal organs and marinate them…Did you bring the horse milk wine?”Second Uncle raised his head and asked.
"They're all here! Aunt Yang Jin has given us a lot!”
Lin Ziqi got off the horse and pointed at the dozen leather bags hanging on the saddle.
"That's good. Let me have a taste first!”
Second Uncle grinned and said with an honest smile.
"Here!"
Jiang Yuan took out a leather bag filled with horse milk and handed it to his second uncle.
After eagerly taking a sip, Second Uncle's tanned face was filled with satisfaction.
"I haven't had any horse milk for months. It's really delicious!”Second Uncle laughed heartily, as if he had swept away his previous fatigue.
"Is it really that good?"
Jiang Yuan opened the lid curiously and took a sip.
"How is it?" Second Uncle asked,
"How fragrant!"
Jiang Yuan praised sincerely.
As soon as he opened the lid, a special milk fragrance assailed his nose.
When it entered his stomach, not only was it rich in milk fragrance, but it was also delicious and sweet. There was also a feeling of floating.
The aftertaste was endless!
"Although this horse milk is good, the alcohol content is too low. It's still not strong enough!”
Second Uncle took another big gulp of the horse milk and smacked his lips.
Horse milk wine is warm in nature, has the effect of dispelling cold, relaxing muscles, promoting blood circulation, strengthening stomach and so on. It is praised as Yuan Jade Pulp.
However, it was made from fresh horse milk that had been fermented and turned sour. The alcohol content was only 1.5 to 3 degrees, which was no different from drinking a beverage.
"We can distill it, so the alcohol content will increase by a lot!”Lin Ziqi suggested.
"That's great. After the horse milk is distilled, our sheep will be almost cooked. We can eat it together!”Second Uncle was overjoyed.
"I'll get the pot and wooden bucket. Let's start now!”
Jiang Yuan had always been swift and decisive. After saying this, he quickly walked into the house.
Soon, he took out the iron pot, wooden barrel, earthen jar, and other tools needed for the extraction.
The method to distill the horse milk wine was actually very simple.
First, he poured the brewed horse milk wine into the pot and placed a bottomless wooden bucket on top.
There were a few iron hooks on the top of the inner side of the wooden barrel. The earthen jar was hung on top of the iron hooks to make it hang in the barrel.
An iron pot with cooling water was placed at the mouth of the wooden barrel, and then the fire was used to boil the milk. The steam continuously rose to the bottom of the iron pot, and when it cooled, it would condense into a liquid that was as clear as water.
This was the first pot of milk wine. The alcohol content was about 10 degrees.
If it was distilled many times, the alcohol content of the wine would gradually increase. Only when it reached six times of steaming and six times of brewing would it be a high-grade milk wine!
After Jiang Yuan put the iron pot back in place, he poured the dozens of leather bags containing the horse milk wine into the pot one by one.
After lighting the firewood and covering the lid, the horse milk wine began to be distilled for the first time.
"Seven, I've already taken care of this sheep. Do you want to marinate it first?”
Second Uncle washed his hands in the basin, then carried the whole lamb and shouted.
"Give it to me, Second Uncle. Little Qi still has other things to do!”
Jiang Yuan took the mutton and looked at Lin Ziqi, who was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden. His eyes revealed a hint of warmth.
She was preparing to pick vegetables to make dumplings.
At night, the horse milk wine was distilled six times, and then it was accompanied by a secret roasted whole lamb to eat with dumplings. This day was simply too satisfying!
