Steaming this job, to be honest, really not done by people. It can be said that it is very difficult to get so much grain out by manpower, such hot water vapor and bending over to work all the time.

But fortunately, Liu Ming doesn't need to do this work himself.

I found three employees, what do you think they are doing?

That's what I'm here to do.

"My mother, Boss Liu, this is too hot, isn't it?"

Liu Ming clasped his hands in front of his chest expressionlessly, watching them work on the side.

"What do you think? The main reason why I work so early is to avoid the weather.

If it's noon, I'm afraid it's going to be even hotter. Hurry up, hurry up, the later the time drags on, and you will be the one who suffers in the end. ”

Hearing Liu Ming say this, everyone immediately became energetic. Just kidding, it's seven o'clock now, and if it drags on until noon, it's just deadly!

While they were working, Liu Ming came to the locked warehouse at the back, using a porcelain basin of the old-fashioned kind.

There are also two goldfish patterns at the bottom of the pot, which is very practical. Liu Ming used this basin to fill three catties of koji and came out.

There are also quantitative requirements for koji, like now, basically three catties of koji are enough.

After it was brought out, Zhou Wenchun and the three of them were still busy.

At this moment, they have basically stripped off their shirts and are working bare-chested.

After cooking, the grain is more than 1,000 catties. At this moment, a layer of corn has been spread on top of the plastic bag on the ground in the house.

Liu Ming put down the koji in his hand and looked at the inside of the pot, which had just been about half done.

Seeing this, Liu Ming shook his head and went to pack a bag of fruit again.

Apples, pears, etc., anyway, I weighed it, fifty catties.

These 50 catties of fruit will be broken into pieces by a machine and then placed on the grain and sprinkled with koji, and then fermented together.

Fruit can't be boiled in water. Once cooked, then it will spoil very quickly and will not be fermented at all.

Speaking of which, the cost of Liu Ming's wine is relatively high.

First of all, there are 700 catties of corn in 1,000 catties of grain, which is about 500 catties. Coupled with 200 catties of sorghum, the cost should be more than 300, and finally add 100 catties of rice, the cost is more than 100 catties and the last dozens of catties of fruit are also more than 100.

So add up, the total cost should be around one thousand and one.

Add coal, labor and the like, and the cost should be around one thousand four to one thousand five.

And what about the wine that comes out?

To tell the truth, according to the system, it looks like about five hundred and eighty pounds.

Speaking of which, in a few days, Liu Ming will have to think about the pricing of his lotus white.

It must not be too low, otherwise he really won't have much profit.

Of course, for the time being, he doesn't need to think about it that way. After all, this price needs to wait for the wine to come out before the price can be discussed.

……

Sprinkle koji, this is a stage with great attention to detail and control of details.

If Liu Ming didn't have a system, to be honest, he really didn't know how to do it.

Because when sprinkling koji, you should first pay attention to time, temperature, and uniformity.

When the temperature drops to about 50 degrees Celsius, the steamed grain will quickly start sprinkling koji.

And at this moment, Liu Guangdou and Liu Jianguo are helping Liu Ming do this.

As for Zhou Wenchun, he has been staring at Zhuo Jar at this moment. Because at this moment, it's time to start cooking corn for the second time.

The fire can't be stopped, so hurry up.

The koji has some fragrance, which makes Liu Guangdou very surprised. He also knew something, and it was the first time he knew that koji was so fragrant.

Liu Ming was dressed in blue overalls, similar to the hospital uniform. At this moment, he is sweating profusely.

"Flatten the corn for me, and put a thermometer in the corn for me. ”

"Look, take this colander and sprinkle the koji evenly over the grain. ”

Holding a colander in his hand, Liu Ming said to Liu Guangdou and the two while demonstrating. They also took a colander and began to do what Liu Ming said.

Soon, all the grains had a thin layer of koji on top of them.

Koji is not done all at once, it is done three times. So, after the first time, wait about 20 minutes and start the second koji.

Soon, all the corn was turned over, and then the second sprinkling of koji began.

And so it was, and soon the third time began.

The third time it was done, several people came over with a large bucket of fruit slices. This thing is just right to put in it at this moment.

After pouring all the fruit in, a few people began to spread the fruit evenly.

After doing this, sprinkle some koji on top.

After doing it, Liu Guangdou and the two of them carried a boxy thing made of wooden planks.

When they brought it over, they put it on top of the chaff.

Then, several people quickly poured all the corn into the compartment.

This step is called making a box. It means that the corn is piled up into such a boxy thing.

It's simple and it's quick. After doing this, Liu Ming sprinkled a thick layer of coarse chaff on it.

No way, this is the first time to make wine, all the stuff that is not mixed with this stuff is covered with it to keep the temperature.

But it's also easy to do, just cover it with a large plastic bag, and then find a quilt to put on it.

By the time it was eleven o'clock.

Liu Ming quietly scanned it, and the function of the system gave a qualified evaluation for the first time he did Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

And at this moment, inside the Zhuo tank, the main food is today.

The fire kept cooking, and it should take a few more hours to turn on.

At this time, the winery can be considered to take a break.

By noon, the water was boiling. At this time, it is time to seal the fire.

Then there is all kinds of waiting. It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that all the grain was brought in.

At this moment, it is time to rest.

Liu Ming also knows that don't look at the beginning, it's easy to do today.

But when it's time to start making wine, it's going to be a lot busier. Liu Ming hadn't been so tired for a long time, and while being unaccustomed to telling the truth, he seemed to be a little happy.

Sitting by the river, he smoked a cigarette to dispel his exhaustion.

Zhou Wenchun and the three of them also came to rest at this time.

"Come on, come on, come and smoke. ”

Pointing to the stool made of long stones next to him, Liu Ming threw the pack of Zhenglong cigarettes in his hand on the stool.

Seeing this, several of them were not polite, and walked over and took one and smoked it. Not to mention, it's really tiring. The main thing is that when it is steamed and fragrant.

"Boss Liu, what are we going to do next?"

Liu Jianguo looks honest, but he is also the smartest. Through the past two days, he can be regarded as seeing Liu Ming.

To be honest, he is really afraid of Liu Ming a lot of the time.

As for why......
