The big island of Liuqiu is a big island of fruits, not to mention how many coconuts there are in the south, and even how many wild bananas there are in the mountains. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At that time, Tranquility was first made from coconut, and this resource was too abundant.

To this end, she specially sought out indigenous children and taught them how to operate, regardless of gender.

Quiet first let them climb up and tie the coconut buds with a rope so that they are facing down, which will help them to cut open to extract the juice after a few days.

It is a fresh liquid with the scent of young bamboo, containing 15 to 18 percent sugar.

For extraction, each container of bamboo tubes is suspended under the coconut buds, which ooze about 50 to 70 milliliters of sap per hour.

After the juice is dripped into the bamboo tube, it is naturally fermented directly in the bamboo tube. In order to inhibit the proliferation of miscellaneous bacteria, you can also add a piece of old pine bark to help the yeast ferment.

This bamboo tube is replaced twice a day in the morning and evening, and the amount of liquid taken at a time is about 700 ml.

Each time it is replaced, the flower buds are cut off with a thin blade, and the resulting sake can be poured out of the bamboo tube and poured into a large clay pot, where it is supplemented with a little sugar and Saccharomyces cerevisiae before fermentation

In this way, they make a liquor with an alcohol concentration of about 10%, which is then distilled repeatedly to obtain a high degree of alcohol.

There is also a way, they take the ripe coconut fruit, cut the coconut to take the flesh to get water, and the coconut water and coconut meat are broken together to make a pulp and fermented into wine, so that the alcohol concentration of 15% can be directly obtained.

The history of coconut wine production can be traced back to before the Song Dynasty.

Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, entered the coconut grove to drink coconut wine when he lived in Hainan, and wrote the poem "The wine is born in the forest, not waiting for the ceremony", praising the coconut wine as better than the wine made by the ancient wine-making ancestor.

However, the second type of coconut wine is highly demanding in terms of production process, and it is by no means easy to make coconut wine.

Because coconut water is sweet and delicious when taken out of the coconut fruit, it becomes cloudy and bitter after being left for a while.

Therefore, the coconut water and coconut milk used to make coconut wine should be processed in a timely manner and with high technology. in order to get a better finished product.

That's where Quiet's basic biology comes into play, because she had brought different species of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with her, and because Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a simple single-celled eukaryotic organism that is easy to cultivate and grows quickly.

The yeast morphology is simple though. But the physiology is more complex and diverse.

Yeast inhale monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, and mannose into cells, and under oxygen-free conditions, through the action of internal enzymes, the monosaccharides are decomposed into carbon dioxide and alcohol, which is fermentation.

Where do the people of this time and space know this reason, and their best winemakers can only know what it is, but not why it's so, so they always see this craft as mysterious.

Due to the high pertinence of the problem of quiet treatment. The fermentation rate is fast, so the second method is a bit more productive.

Of course, the first approach is biased and cost-free, and is still a work in progress.

At the same time, she used diatomaceous earth, a common thing on the big island, to clarify, and after filtering, the coconut wine was crystal clear and transparent, and its fragrance was elegant. Its taste is mellow and sweet.

At this time, the wine is quite like coconut water and better than coconut water, and it is said to be wine. But there is no stimulus of alcohol.

Pour a cup of color and smell the fragrance, take a sip and savor it, only to feel a fragrance refreshing people's hearts, a faint sweetness to moisten the heart, refreshing, fluttering aftertaste reverie.

There are often women who secretly drink sake when they want to make it. It's hard to take care of.

Therefore, Quiet supervised them to distill quickly and repeatedly, and when the alcohol could reach 70 degrees, she was not in a hurry, and no woman dared to drink it.

As for banana wine, it's simpler. Say a few words.

First of all, the wild bananas picked in the mountains are buried in the ground and covered for three or four days, and after taking them out, they may smell a little alcohol, and the bananas are also soft.

At this time, I picked up the banana peel, put it into a wooden box five meters long, two meters wide, and half a meter deep, added some hay, and then added it to ten centimeters of water, and then let little girls like Shen Qianqian step on the banana and hay repeatedly until the banana and the water in the wooden box are completely integrated, and then throw away the hay.

At the beginning, the little girls carried the Yindian-style dress designed for her by Quiet, and stepped happily on the big box, stepping on it in various ways.

Jing Jing heard their laughter in the distance, and thought to himself, if the women who went out here could learn a few survival skills, would they still be able to go on the road of selling their freedom in the future?

A woman who can be financially independent is a truly independent woman!

When the bananas in that wooden box are completely mixed with water, they are poured into several large clay jars, sprinkled with special Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and sealed, for a maximum of four days, you can make banana wine with an alcohol content of about 10 degrees.

The wine is still a bit cloudy, so it can be filtered through charcoal powder, then clarified with diatomaceous earth and finally filtered.

The fruity banana wine comes out.

Quietly and happily, the women stopped drinking this wine, even if they let them drink it, they also laughed and covered their mouths.

However, the distillery located in the breeding and seedling breeding base always emitted the aroma of distilled liquor, which made the men of the Great Song Dynasty unbearable.

There is also a way to go up the mountain to pick wild bananas for wine, and it is best to move the wild banana trees together well, which is conducive to future variety improvement.

At this time, there are many wild bananas, but they are too small.

Sometimes, when the men of the Great Song Dynasty eat dinner, they will get a bamboo cup of banana wine, and Captain Bao Wei, who knows the bottom line, resolutely refuses to drink it, and can't lose other people's money, and drink other people's foot washing bars, this person is too unsuccessful.

But Deputy Captain Guo Beyu was not afraid, so he drank his share, which was really delicious.

Needless to say, other wild mountain fruits.

Finally, by borrowing distillation and quicklime, you can basically get a high concentration of alcohol.

The next day, Zhang Guoan went to the cabin again with a carefully prepared alcohol ether solution and camphor, and an arquebus.

(Don't dare to write B fans anymore, it turns out to be definitely a sensitive word.) ）

Zhang Guoan took out the three kinds of nitrocellulose prepared yesterday, felt a little damp, and dried it for a while, and when it was dry, he put it in a jar with alcohol ether solution and gently began to shake it.

Previously, he had put camphor in a copper pot, added water, and put it on a charcoal stove to dissolve it.

After he had been shaking for about twenty minutes, he opened it and saw that most of it had turned flocculent, but some of it was not good.

He knew that this was the reason why the alcohol ether solution was not of high purity, and it took another ten minutes of shaking to complete the dissolution.

He then evaporated the alcohol ether solution to obtain a colloid.

He gently rolled it into long strips and cut them into cylinders of about a gram.

Finally the camphor had dissolved, and he threw the cylinders into it, looked at the watch, boiled for nearly thirty seconds, and then took it out.

In this way, he gelatinized the three types of nitrocellulose one by one, and after being treated with camphor solution, he was ready to test the gun. (To be continued.) )
