Chapter 81: The Doorway to Winemaking
Sure enough, after the fire boiled him, he continued to steam for half an hour, and when the whole Zhuo vat was steaming, Xu Anguo poured cold water into it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The next thing is to keep the fire in the stove unextinguished.
It took about three hours for a large pot of water to boil.
Seeing this, Xu Anguo hurriedly mixed the slag charcoal that had just arrived with a little yellow mud and sealed the fire.
"Master Xu, that's okay, isn't it?"
"Well, there's nothing going on for the time being. The next thing is the matter of tomorrow in the evening. However, after soaking the corn for a few hours, the water is drained. ”
"Oh!!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming didn't ask any more questions, and he would know when he got up tomorrow morning and looked at it.
At this time, Zhou Chaofeng and Xu Mancang could go home.
Xu Anguo explained that the two came over at two o'clock in the evening, and then the two left.
"Two o'clock in the evening, why are you here so early??"
Hearing this, Xu Anguo looked at Liu Xiaoming with a smile.
"Boss Liu, you haven't made wine, you don't understand. In this brewing, you have to open the sealed stove at one or two o'clock, and then start steaming the corn.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a long time to finish during the day. ”
Liu Xiaoming also smiled awkwardly, and then ignored it.
At this time, the aunt called the two to eat. Xu Anguo first filled a bowl of rice and went back to his wife before returning to the table and starting to eat.
In the afternoon, the two Tan Ming brothers watched the big truck coming.
"Boss Liu, we're here."
"Hahaha, the two Boss Tan are here, welcome."
After speaking, Liu Xiaoming handed over two packs of cigarettes to the two of them. The two of them were not polite, and they opened it and smoked it.
"Two hundred heads today, all of them are good. To be honest, Boss Liu's price this time is that our two brothers have no money to make. ”
"Boss Tan, don't say such things, we are all understanding people."
After speaking, Liu Xiaoming arranged the scales. This time, Liu Xiaoming burned a large iron cage with a steel pipe in his pig farm, and it was tied to the scale.
Just drive the pigs into a specially left passage and let them into the iron cage to pass the scales.
In this way, it is very convenient to save time and effort.
"I didn't expect Boss Liu to build such a large pig farm for only a long time, it's amazing."
"Boss Tan has won the prize, although this time it is to give cash, but it still has to be guaranteed. Pay the bill after seven days, and guarantee it for a week. ”
"No problem, collect the bill in seven days."
Although there are a lot of pigs, it can be done in half an hour.
After finishing it, the two Tan Ming brothers left in a hurry.
There is no need to feed today, so Liu Xiaoming, the worker recruited, did not ask to come over today, but just asked them to come over early tomorrow morning.
When he comes over tomorrow, Liu Xiaoming needs to teach them how to use the automatic mixer, as well as how much feed they need to mix at this stage, and how much feed they need for each pigsty.
Moreover, tomorrow Liu Xiaoming will go to the county seat to pull back the specially contacted sows.
In the middle of the night, Liu Xiaoming was woken up by a burst of sound. When I got up, I saw that the winery below was already brightly lit.
"This Master Xu, it's really early to get up."
With the purpose of learning, Liu Xiaoming did not fall asleep again, and went directly to the winery to have a look. As soon as I entered, I saw thick smoke billowing from the New Year's Eve and water vapor everywhere.
"Master Xu, it's so early. Uncle Zhou, Uncle Mancang, you came early enough. ”
At this moment, the three people inside were working in full swing, and they all stopped what they were doing when they heard Liu Xiaoming's words.
"Boss Liu is here."
"Hey, come and learn from Master Xu."
"That's fine, just ask."
At this moment, Liu Xiaoming saw that most of the corn in the original Zhuo jar was spread out on a large film.
"Master Xu, let's be now..."
Hearing this, Xu Anguo began to explain.
"Now, the corn has just been steamed, and most of the water in it has been steamed. Now, it's time to get out of the retort. At this time, all the corn is taken out, and then the koji is sprinkled with koji and the ground is made into a box waiting to be fermented. ”
Liu Xiaoming was also confused when he listened, but he didn't ask deeply. “
Then you guys get busy first, and I'll just watch. ”
Hearing this, Xu Anguo hurriedly greeted Zhou Chaofeng and Xu Mancang and started their work. I have to say that Xu Mancang and Zhou Chaofeng are really good at work.
The distillery built by Liu Xiaoming is still built with old craftsmanship, and it does not use the current high technology.
Everything needs to be done by hand.
The two of them used a big dustpan to get out all the corn in the Zhuo jar in a short time. Next, it's time for Xu Anguo's operation.
I saw him bring up the koji medicine that he had weighed earlier, and then began to swing flexibly on the paved corn.
This koji medicine is evenly sprinkled on top of the corn as if it had been calculated.
After sprinkling it all over again, Xu Anguo hurriedly used his hands to test the internal temperature of the corn.
"Master Xu, what is this doing."
After feeling it carefully, Xu Anguo came over to answer Liu Xiaoming's words.
"When you sprinkle koji medicine, you must sprinkle it on both sides, otherwise there will be corn that will not be able to touch the koji medicine. In this case, it will also affect the output.
However, there are still things to pay attention to. The temperature of the corn should not be too high, as it will burn the koji.
Moreover, it should not be too low. If the corn is too cold, it will be more troublesome to take out of the box after the koji is sprinkled, and the temperature that cannot be fermented will also affect the yield. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming was secretly speechless, he didn't expect that winemaking would be so troublesome.
"So what kind of temperature does it need to be?"
"Generally speaking, about 40 degrees is more appropriate, that is, the hand is not hot when you put it in. At this time, you can sprinkle the koji medicine a second time. ”
After speaking, Xu Anguo touched it with his hand again.
"Alright, the wind is full, now turn the corn over."
After the order, the two of them began to turn over under Xu Anguo's knowledge. After turning it over, Xu Anguo once again picked up the koji medicine in the plastic basin on the side and began to sprinkle it.
"This hand, don't think about it if you don't have time."
Liu Xiaoming looked at the extremely skilled Xu Anguo and sighed.
At this time, Liu Xiaoming felt the heat after staying in it for a long time.
After the second time the pill was sprinkled, after waiting for a while, Xu Anguo asked Xu Mancang and the two of them to lift out a large square box that had been made long ago.
Liu Xiaoming knew this, and he still specially asked Zhou Dalin from Zhoujiawan to make it. It's just that he never knew what this thing was for.
After setting up an open space in the distillery, Xu Anguo beckoned the other two to pour the corn sprinkled with koji medicine into it.
Subsequently, there are climbing plows on which to level out.
Next, take the square box out of the way.
Then, a square of corn piled up appeared in the same place, which looked particularly good.
"I'm afraid Boss Liu doesn't understand."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming said calmly: "This needs to be explained by Master Xu." ”
"This is called making a box, which is to pile the corn neatly. When it's time to ferment, it comes evenly.
Later, sprinkle a layer of coarse chaff on top. Originally, there was still a bad match, but Boss Liu, you are now the first box, so there is no bad match, and it can only be matched in the box seven days later. ”
"Bad??"
Liu Xiaoming really has six of the seven tricks at the moment, and there is still one trick left.
"It is equivalent to human clothes, which has a thermal insulation effect. In this way, the fermentation is good. However, there is no choice but to sprinkle the coarse chaff a little thicker.
So, the first few Zhuo of the winery are the worst. That's the reason, the poor yield is the bad taste. ”
Seven days, this is a necessary reincarnation. Once the corn is cooked, it needs to be fermented in the fermentation vat for seven days after being unpacked.
That's why the yeast tank needs seven, and seven is just right to produce wine every day.
So, anyone who hasn't entered the doorway in any industry doesn't know how deep the water is.
This is especially true of something that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The hard work of generations and the gradual exploration of generations.
