The sweet wine in hand, the sweet and sour taste I have never tasted


"Come down and get something." After receiving the message, he hurriedly changed into his coat and ran downstairs to get the meal.


He's not the delivery man, nor the other half, but my father. Every time I see him, he always carries a cold bag like a treasure bag, which contains pre-cooked dishes. Take the heavy treasure bag in your hand, sometimes a cup of hot beef noodles, sometimes refreshing pineapple syrup and rice moss, and you can also eat ecstasy claypot rice during the New Year, or make it with honey red beans. of rice cakes.


First taste of sweet wine


I received a glass jar that day, filled with thick rice dew that looked like white porridge, my father said, this is sweet wine, which is very good for girls.


Holding the glass jar carefully, I walked up the stairs, and when I got home, I couldn't wait to open it. When I tasted the taste of wine for the first time, I scooped it into a bowl with a dry spoon and took a sip. The next second, the strong aroma of wine poured into my nostrils. What remained in my mouth was the sweet and sour fermented glutinous rice. The strange smell stimulated my taste buds. It is completely inconsistent with the taste of food I have tasted in the past, and it is difficult to adapt to such a taste for a while. However, sweet sake has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is a taste with a sense of age.


The next morning, I opened the glass jar again and tried the flavor of mulled wine for the second time. This time, in addition to the sweet wine, I also added some sweet soup ingredients, such as red beans and mung beans. I mixed it in the bowl, and then put it into my mouth. The magic is that the sweetness of the wine itself is ingeniously matched with the sweetness of the red and mung beans. It blends together, dilutes the original strong alcohol smell, and matches just right, which is completely different from the feeling of the previous day.



The secret in sweet wine


I found the production method of sweet wine brewing on the Internet. It seems that the sweet wine brewing with simple ingredients is actually a complicated process, from the selection of the container, the quality of the raw rice, the climate of the environment, to the fermentation time and temperature. Links can not be easily sloppy.


Looking back on my childhood, my father likes to prepare a table of delicious dishes on weekend nights, so that the whole family can gather together to enjoy delicious food and cherish the time of chatting. A few years ago, my father moved out alone, and he didn't understand him for a while. The estrangement made the two become strangers and alienated. It was not until later that I gradually understood that each person has many roles, and how to switch between roles is a lifelong necessity. The subject of study, perhaps in this process, we can not be perfect.


It took a lot of time and effort to ferment glutinous rice into sweet and sour wine. It turns out that the father's love for his children has never diminished. He just put it into every dish silently in another form.
