“Zixi Yuye” is a brewing recipe and traditional craftsmanship of Pengxi County Qingquan Liquor Co., Ltd., which has been inherited for hundreds of years. It uses pure grain such as sorghum, corn, wheat and rice as the main raw materials, and is fermented and saccharified by solid state fermentation. , "alcoholic" white wine carefully brewed by alcoholization, distillation and aging.

In the 1970s, as long as the “Zhixi Yuye” liquor of the Pengxi County Winery was mentioned, it was said that there was no one in Sichuan. However, due to the lack of attention to the protection of the brand, a trademark was rushed by a foreign company. In the 1980s, in order to allow the county winery to survive, the person in charge of the winery renamed the “Zhixi Yuye” liquor as “Pengshan Special Song” and it has been used ever since. At that time, Yang Chaohui was only a teenager. He was only an employee of the Pengxi Winery. Two years later, he came out of the winery, worked in coal construction, engaged in real estate, and also conducted marketing and management. Although the work is not bad, but he has a strong feeling of hometown flowing in his heart, always remembering the development of the old winery in his hometown. In 2008, he spent 180,000 yuan to acquire two small workshops and started brewing himself. In 2010, after learning that the company that had previously grabbed the trademark had not continued, he immediately established Pengxi County Qingquan Liquor Co., Ltd. and restored the old brand of “Zhixi Yuye”. Because he understands: "Zhixi Yuye" is a local liquor brand owned by 800,000 Pengxi people, and it is the brand of 3.8 million people in the city. It is the responsibility and obligation of their generation to restore and build this brand. .

Steamed food: The steamed food is divided into three steps: initial steaming, simmering water and steaming. First, the bubbled food is poured into the crucible for initial steaming; the second is from bottom to top, and the suffocating water of 40 to 45 °C is quickly added to the crucible; the third is to put the suffocating water and increase the firepower to start re-steaming. 3. 甑 甑 晾 : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : 4. Lower chord: Saccharification is made by small saccharification, the temperature of the product is lowered by 35°C~45°C for the first time, and the temperature is up to 30°C~35°C for the second time. After the second koji is finished, adjust the drying bed. Temperature, 24 ° C ~ 26 ° C in summer, 28 ° C ~ 32 ° C in winter, the drying operation must be completed within 60 min. The amount of small songs: 0.4% to 0.5% in summer and 0.5% to 0.6% in winter. 5. Receiving the box: When the temperature of the product drops to 24°C~26°C in summer, the thickness is kept at 12cm~18cm; in winter, when the temperature drops to 28°C~32°C, the thickness is kept at 18cm~22. Cm, and the thickness of the surrounding flat is even to ensure that the temperature inside the box is basically the same. 6. Bacterial saccharification: After the container is collected, the temperature inside the box is checked regularly to make the mold and yeast grow normally, and the bacteria are few. The temperature of the culture is not more than 38 °C, and the cultivation time is 22 to 28 hours (winter and long summer). . 7. Matching the bad: Before the fermentation, spread the prepared grains and flatten them, and dry them to the specified temperature. The sterilized bacteria are spread on the matching slag, the thickness is even and the plough is in a row, and the ratio of grain to mating is controlled at 1: (3~4) ), the temperature of the miscellaneous grains is generally 24 to 25 ° C in winter and room temperature in summer. 8. Fermentation: The mating waste is placed in a fermentation vessel, and the rice husk is sown, and then the mixture is mixed, and the ferment is fermented. The fermentation temperature should be raised first and then stabilized, and the fermentation cycle is controlled for 7 to 15 days. 9.
