Chapter 111: Hidden Wine

"Come, pull over here. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hey, Lao Zhou, you bring the cement from outside."

"Okay, okay."

"Smash these rocks, and the hole will be widened a little bit."

"Iron gates are to be installed here, and the stones on both sides should be repaired and leveled."

Today, the inside of the cave is being repaired.

I found two master bricklayers, and five or six small workers.

The cave (coal mine cave) of the dam is located halfway up the hill opposite Liu Xiaoming's pig farm, and the entrance is not large enough for two people to pass through.

However, there's a lot of space inside. The ground is five or six meters from the top of the cave, and the cave is flanked by strange rocks of various shapes.

The reason why the villagers who built the dam did not continue to dig into it, in addition to the cold inside, is that the cave is naturally generated.

The stones inside are hard and the layers are thick. Even if I found coal in the future, it was time-consuming and laborious, so I didn't dig in it anymore.

As soon as Liu Xiaoming entered the cave, a chill hit him.

"It's really cold in this hole, it's only a few degrees above zero at most! It seems that the place recommended by Master Xu is indeed okay. ”

As Liu Xiaoming walked inside, the space inside became larger and larger. On the walls of the cave on both sides, there are traces of water.

"Masters, don't destroy the stones in the cave, especially the stalactites on both sides of the cave, and don't knock them down for me."

"Okay, Boss Liu, tell me about your construction plan."

"A flat path was carved out of the middle of the cave and a layer of concrete was covered. Then, don't use cement on the stones on both sides, just smooth the stones.

When the time comes, I'm going to put the wine. Also, the innermost cave that was dug before, and everyone paved the ground with yellow mud for me. ”

"Okay, Boss Liu, don't leave, tell us if you have any requirements."

"Good..."

The reason for this is that Liu Xiaoming also has his own considerations. The yellow mud paved ground can ensure the taste of the wine.

Moreover, the stalactites on the outside are the best decorations.

The cave is very large, and there are thousands of square meters of natural caves outside, not counting the caves dug inside.

So, this cave is really good for cellar wine.

According to estimates, not to mention hundreds of thousands of catties of wine, even millions of catties of wine have a place to put it.

"Ouch, don't smash these stones."

"Good...."

Outside the cave, a yellow mud road winds its way to the front of the pig farm at the foot of the mountain.

"This road will not work, and it will have to be built anew. It takes money, and I don't have much money left. Fortunately, there is still more than a month before the sow's subsidy should come down. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoming found a bricklayer who was still planning how to construct in the cave.

"Master Hong, can you help me estimate how much it will cost to repair this road to the bottom of the mountain."

After speaking, Liu Xiaoming pointed to the yellow mud road in front of him.

"Well, this road is about a mile, but fortunately it's not too wide. You can do without concrete, which is too costly. It is good to directly use stones to lay a layer on the surface of the road, which saves time and money. It is only more than three meters wide, and it costs almost 20,000 yuan. ”

"That's it...."

This amount of money is still within the acceptable range of Liu Xiaoming, and 20,000 yuan is no pressure on him.

"Okay, Master Hong, go get busy."

In two days, the cave was completed. At this time, the originally deserted cave actually had the feeling of a mansion. There was electricity and lights inside. Two huge iron doors were installed at the entrance of the cave.

Inside the cave, a cement-paved path can pass two people side by side until it reaches the innermost part of the cave.

The stones on both sides are polished and look beautiful.

However, people can't stay in it for a long time, they can't stand it for a long time, it's too cold.

"Master Zheng, it looks like I'm going to trouble you again."

"It's okay, what to do Boss Liu, you say."

"We first send these jars to the cave above, and then we come down to pull the wine. Once inside, turn the wine into the jar. ”

"Okay...."

One cart could only pull 300 jars, and it took a total of three carts to transport all the jars into the cave. After the wine jar is transported, the next step is to transport the wine up.

Transporting wine is not as convenient as transporting wine jars.

It's too cumbersome to use a wine barrel, and it's not easy to hold wine after going up. There was no other way but to tie the large wine storage tank to the top of the car securely.

Then, the wine is pumped in with a filtered water pump.

10,000 catties at a time, transported and then pumped into the wine jar using the old method.

After doing it, it was already the middle of the moon.

The few people who were tired didn't want to move, and so did Liu Xiaoming. Looking at the inside of the cave, there were more than 1,000 neat wine jars, Liu Xiaoming was extremely satisfied.

"Although my business is still a seedling now, it will grow into a towering tree one day."

"Boss Liu, you're busy next."

Xu Anguo's words woke Liu Xiaoming up, and then looked at him suspiciously.

"How do you say...."

"Next, we have to leave the tail water every day and bring it up by car. When the time comes, sprinkle the tail water on the ground where the liquor is kept. Only in this way will there be a gradual change in the future. Only in this way will the wine taste better and better in the future. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming was surprised.

"Master Xu, what is this statement, you can explain it to me."

"The place where the wine is stored is called the cellar. This place, if you sprinkle tail water every day, over the years, the land here will change. This is required for general cellar wines.

Don't underestimate this, it's these places where the taste of wine gets better. Cellaring is not just about putting it in the cellar and hiding it. This needs to be carefully cultivated. ”

"Well, it looks like I've learned again."

"Haha, take your time, don't be in a hurry. In the future, as time goes on, the sake here will get better and better.

Also, for the next wine, I persuaded Boss Liu to pinch off the wine at both ends and leave only the middle part.

In this way, this wine is the best. When the time comes, it can also be sold a little more expensive. ”

"This method is good, it is to divide it into three, six, nine and so on. Otherwise, if others want to be good, it will be bad if I don't have it. ”

Hearing this, Xu Anguo sat on the stone on the side and said: "Also, there is no wine at both ends, which means that there are no impurities in the wine, and this is the better wine the more you put it."

If this kind of wine is left for three or five years, the taste will be fascinated by then..."

"Okay, that's it, I'm looking forward to that day. The next wine is according to what Master Xu said. Let's go, hurry home and eat. ”

After saying that, several people came out of the cave. Liu Xiaoming closed the two gates, and then locked them with a large lock.

"Master Xu, do you want to find someone to watch here in the future?"

"Looking at this?"

"Yes, if you hide wine in the future, you naturally need someone to watch it. Otherwise, what should I do if someone steals it at night? ”

"Hehe, I haven't heard of anyone stealing alcohol"

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming also let go of the thoughts in his heart.

"Alright, let's go."
