Chapter 146: Dao Law and Nature, Great River Wine Manor Makeover!
"This was originally a warehouse for crops, and the five elements were short of water, but now it has been converted into a winery, and water is indispensable, so the fermentation tank was changed to gold, which means gold produces water, and the white waves are naturally water lines. ”
But Wang Zhong's transformation is far from over, and he shows everyone a dense network of groundwater with drawings!
The whole network is designed according to metaphysical ideas!
For the first time, everyone appreciated the beauty of oriental design!
Good as water!
The main theme of the design is to be as good as water!
As soon as you enter the workshop, there is a trickle of water curtain, and then as the waterway leads to all directions of the workshop, the clean water continues to flow in and circulate inside, not only as a sewer, but also to take away dust and bacteria all the time, bringing oxygen and the sound of gurgling water.
The ground is covered with waterways, which run from the outside to the inside, and the sewers are necessary in the fermentation room, as large quantities of water are required to clean the fermentation tanks and to make wine. All workshops require a sewer system.
It was the first time that all the workers, Mary and the others, had seen such a poetic sewer system!
The flow of water, colliding and intermingling, emits a little notes, and converges into a moving poem. It's like a cheerful elf, singing to their heart's content!
Standing here, it is like being in a secluded spring valley, full of vitality and the fragrance of Lanzhi!
More environmentally friendly and practical than electronic air conditioning units, it is not so much metaphysics as it is deeply rooted in Lao Tzu's "Taoism and Nature", and incorporates the most advanced environmental design and concept.
"It's so beautiful!"
I don't know who was the first to praise it.
All the French employees showed admiration, joy and joy!
They can imagine how comfortable it would be to work in such an environment. Pleasure!
If you go downstairs along the flowing water, you will find another world, the winery's wine storage place. The wine needs to be kept away from light and temperature, whether it is bottled or still in oak barrels, it needs to be kept in a place with a humidity of more than 65%. So three meters below the ground is where the storage is located. The summer in Fronsac is very hot and dry, which enhances the sweetness of the grapes, but it is also a challenge for wine storage, and the flow system is drained from the fermentation room above to ensure the stability of the aged wines. As soon as I entered the wine cellar, I saw a wooden carving of Du Kang, the god of wine, more than one person high, standing in front of him, and the light hit it. Shocking beautiful picture. Hundreds of oak barrels around the god of wine, Du Kang, display the aging wine.
"It's!"
Everyone who has seen the design has their eyes wide open!
"This is Du Kang, our oriental god, who is in charge of making fine wine, and he can make it more mellow!"
Wang Zhong explained in English.
A line of small print written in English under Wang Zhong. It makes everyone's hearts excited!
Oriental Taoist music is played 24 hours a day in the cellar every day, and music is used to wake up the fermenting wine!
In order to improve the cultivation of the staff, every other week, the castle invites a well-known symphony orchestra to perform!
Since Japanese Kobe beef listens to music and gets a massage every day, it has the same effect on wine. Wang Zhong chose Taoist music that was calming, hoping that people would inspire their souls while drinking. And the frequency of this music constantly vibrates the wine 24 hours a day, which can play a role in improving the quality.
The main thing is that only when the employee is in a good mood. Only then are you allowed to work. When you are sad and unhappy, you are not allowed to brew anything!
Before each brewing, you must sincerely recite the Tao Te Ching or the Bible, and pray sincerely. When you are completely relaxed, you will be allowed to enter the brewery!
This almost demanding requirement makes every employee's eyes wide!
How can there be a profit in doing so?
Wang Zhong obviously thinks that unlike his staff, he wants to create the highest quality wines, and his goal is to surpass Lafite!
Water for brewing. It's all about the quality of your wine!
Good wine is mostly brewed with natural mineral water, for example, Tsingtao beer is made from Laoshan water!
Grand River Manor is located on a hilly hill. But there is no natural spring water flowing down!
This is also one of the reasons why the Grand River Dry Red has not been able to rank among the top red wines in France!
Wang Zhong has carefully examined the 50 hectares of land at Dahong Winery, and has not found any natural spring water!
But this did not bother Wang Zhong. Because he decided to use the Wuji water used in Taoist alchemy to make wine!
Wuji water, taken from the deep water below 850 meters, is warm, clear, has a high content of beneficial trace elements, and the water quality is clear and refreshing.
Jia Sixian's "Qi Min Yao Shu" and Cao Cao's "Shangjiu Drinking Method" are both recorded in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Wang Zhong decided to dig a deep well with a depth of more than 850 meters at Dahe Manor and brew with deep water!
Everyone was shocked by Wang Zhong's thoughts!
You must know that the river manor is located in the hills, the water line is much deeper than the plain area, 850 meters is just a general concept, the geographical location of the river manor, if you want to take the purest deep water, the drilling depth may exceed 1000 meters, which is a lot of money!
Wang Zhong dispelled everyone's concerns with his practical actions, and a check for 100,000 US dollars was lying quietly in Wang Zhong's palm!
If this qiē inspires everyone's body and mind, Wang Zhong's next resolution makes everyone feel that the new boss has a problem with his head!
Production!
That's right!
The first thing Wang Zhong did when he took over the winery was not to find a way to increase production, but to reduce production!
Reduced from 56,000 bottles to 12,000 bottles per year!
Cut production by a full four-fifths!
Not to mention the surprise of the brewing workers, even Wang Siku and Mary looked incredulous!
12,000 bottles may seem like a lot, but for the wine market, production is very scarce!
"I don't know how you used to make red wine! Now, starting today, you have to make sure that you can only make one bottle of red wine from two grapes!"
Wang Zhong stood in front of everyone, waving his fists.
"If we want to make the best wine in the world!"
"Fronsac in Bordeaux also has one of the best châteaux in the world!"
"Fronsac's top red wines have only one name. That's the big river!"
"I hope that when people think of the best wines, the first thing that comes to mind is not Lafite, but the river!"
"In order to achieve this goal, I can provide you with the best qiē!"
"Believe in yourselves. You guys are no worse than the wine makers in Bordeaux!"
Wang Zhong's words are very encouraging, and their input makes everyone see hope!
The most advanced pressing equipment, the most advanced raw materials, the most skilled technology, and a group of brewers who are full of hope for the future!
These are best mixed together and the most wonderful chemistry happens!
Wang Zhong saw that everyone agreed and accepted his new plan. He slowly pulled out the second drawing!
The castle Qinglong Fangwang Zhong has designed a European-style domed high-rise building, which will be used as a tasting area, where customers can not only taste the freshest red wine, but also hang a lot of calligraphy and paintings with oriental characteristics, and place a lot of oriental culture books. And oriental music is played every day.
Due to the addition of new buildings, the L-shaped castle has been changed to a concave shape!
The white tiger corpse has also become a typical Chinese Taishi chair structure, and the feng shui pattern has also changed from prosperous and not prosperous to prosperous and prosperous!
Wang Zhong's third drawing is a temple!
Different from the grandeur of the True Martial Arts Palace!
This drawing says that it is a temple, but it is more like an ancestral hall!
Wang Zhong decided to build a temple at the outlet of the Dordogne River to close the air and gather energy!
Because of the special situation of Dahe Winery, Wang Zhong did not hesitate to choose Du Kang, the god of wine, as the object of sacrifice!
Among the ancient Chinese gods, the god of tea and the god of wine were worshipped. The god of tea worships Lu Yu, and the god of wine worships Du Kang. According to the "Great Yuan Great Unification Chronicles, Volume 383": "Du Kang Temple, thirty miles southeast of Yique Old County". "Yiyang County Chronicles" contains: "Du Kang Temple is in the north of the city fifty miles Du Kang Xianzhuang. It was built in Wei, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and was robbed at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Kangxi 50 years rebuilt, the 21st day of the first month of the year temple worship cooking, incense constant, popular.
Wang Zhong built a temple full of oriental classical charm in the form of the Du Kang Temple at the outlet of the Dordogne River!
Inside is the worship of Du Kang, who is holding a bronze wine bottle in his right hand and pressing the wine jar with his left hand, with a drunken face!
The walls of the temple are frescoed with frescoes that tell the story of Dionysus' sake making!
Underneath the mural is an introduction written in French!
It's not just the Chinese who can understand it. Even locals who have never been to the Orient can learn about Du Kang's exploits in French!
In front of the main hall is a huge bronze incense burner!
The incense burner was filled with yellow incense. Green smoke rose and the entire temple was covered in fireworks. Unspeakably ethereal!
Wang Zhong was dressed in a formal suit and stood in front of the statue of Du Kang with a stern face!
Sacrificing Dionysian women cannot be present, and both Mary and Wang Siku are shunned!
And the brewing workers stood behind Wang Zhong in turn, and no matter what their beliefs were, they maintained enough reverence for the god of wine.
More than others, the winemaking industry believes in the existence of the gods, because even if you brew sake for a lifetime, you can't guarantee that every year's sake will be successful!
The same cellar, the same fruit, the same temperature, the same technique, but it is possible to make two very different wines!
Nature and time give the wine a different flavor!
And the one who wields this magic is the god of wine!
Whether it is Europe, Asia, ancient Rome, or the mysterious African continent, there are legends of the god of wine, the most famous of which are the ten god of wine!
The European Dionysian Hulk, who was regarded by the people as a symbol of rebirth and a messenger of spring. At the same time, he also represents the good fortune of raising a glass to celebrate.
Mubaba Mwana Walsa is the goddess of the Zulu people in South Africa, the hope of good weather and a good harvest, and she is said to be the inventor of beer. The Zulu people who were engaged in agriculture generally worshipped her.
Yi Di once invented rice wine to the Chinese emperor, the emperor was overjoyed, Yi Di was also worshiped as the Chinese god of wine for the earliest invention of rice wine.
Suselus was the god of wine worshipped by the Gauls and the Portuguese, who was in charge of the forest, agriculture and beer brewing. He always had a mallet and a wine cup in his hand to keep him safe, and to prepare food and wine for the feasts of the underworld.
Tekazons Tecato is the god of tequila wine in the hearts of the Mexican Aztecs.
Nikas was a Sumerian goddess whose age was the oldest of these Dionysians. She is said to be the preeminent brewer of the gods and taught humans the art of beer brewing. To this day, the "Ode to Nikas" is still popular in Sumer, which not only expresses people's praise for Nikas, but also serves as a secret ingredient for brewing beer.
The Pantheon of the Julians enshrines more than 1,000 deities. Among them, the god of wine, Teshub, is the most important one. As the son of Kumarbi, the king of the gods, he eventually removed his father from his position and became the lord of the gods himself. As a result, the special divination became the master of all things in the universe. As can be seen from the relief, he holds the grapes in one hand and the thunder and lightning in the other.
Osiris, the Greek Hades, is one of the greatest gods and rules the Nile. His skin is green, symbolizing rebirth. In addition, Osiris also taught humans to brew beer, so Osiris is also known as the god of wine.
Jan Bo was the god of waves, but he and her daughter were famous for brewing beer. The vessels they use to make their wine are amazing – no force can empty the beer in the vessel.
Dionysus is the same god as the Romans believed in Bacchus, he was the god of wine believed by the Thracians in ancient Greece, not only possessing the intoxicating power of wine, but also becoming a very charismatic god at that time with his charity and mercy.
China naturally has a god of wine, and that is Du Kang!
But unfortunately, the image of China's Bacchus is not plump, which is one of the reasons why it cannot be ranked among the top ten Bacchus gods in the world!
But this did not prevent Wang Zhong from worshipping Du Kang!
The offering table was filled with all kinds of utensils, and the utensils were filled with wine, and the best wines of each vintage were placed on a whole table!
Wang Zhong presided over the sacrifice, because considering the receptivity of Westerners, the sacrifice was solemn and simple!
Wang Zhong was alone in front of him reciting the sacrifice in Chinese!
And the other French winemakers chanted Dionysian praise in French!
Bacchus praise is a kind of song that Europeans improvised to worship the god of wine!
Just as the ceremony was about to end, a white light fell from the sky, and the statue of Du Kang faintly revealed a porcelain white brilliance!
But this brilliance came suddenly, and it went quickly!
It's so fast that everyone thinks it's the eyes of the flowers!
But the smell of wine that no one else had ever smelled wafted out of the idol!
This aroma is like fruit wine, but not like fruit wine!
It's like grain wine, but it's not grain wine!
Everyone swears that it's the best wine they've ever smelled!
Because of the addition of this aroma, the wine chemistry in the cellar becomes more cheerful, and every barrel of wine exudes a happy atmosphere!
"Bacchus is coming!"
This time, without Wang Zhong's guidance, all the brewers knelt down and lowered their proud heads.
"We must make the best red wine this year!"
Every brewer's heart is secretly encouraging. (To be continued)
