"Boss, you're here...."

Master Xu and Master Wu saw Liu Xiaoming and hurriedly greeted him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well, come and see the two masters, tomorrow the winery will reopen, no problem!"

"No problem, I'm brewing corn wine here, it's ready, just look at Lao Wu."

Xu Anguo said that there is no problem, then there is no problem. Master Wu makes sorghum wine, and the tools he uses are very different from those I have here.

Sorghum, not as big as corn kernels. Therefore, the steamer needs to be specially customized.

After all, the leaky hole of the steamer of the corn wine is too large. If the sorghum goes down, it will leak into the pot below. Also, sorghum, unlike corn, needs to be steamed for a long time.

To brew sorghum, you only need to boil the water, then pour the sorghum into it, soak it for a while, and steam it directly the next morning.

In this way, sorghum wine may be simpler than corn wine.

In fact, otherwise, the brewing of sorghum wine is much more troublesome. Among them, the control of time is not something that ordinary people can do.

After all, it's not just about the taste, but also about the yield. In terms of timing, if there is a slight mistake, the yield will be greatly reduced, and the taste will be reduced.

Liu Xiaoming uses spring water to brew corn wine, which tastes amazing.

However, I haven't tried the taste of sorghum liquor until now. Sorghum wine tastes better than corn wine.

So, Liu Xiaoming's winery's best wine may not have been brewed yet. You don't know what it tastes like until it's brewed.

Come to the big brewery next door. As soon as you enter, there is a wide floor.

The distillery is 80 meters wide and about 300 meters long. In the innermost, there is the big boiler. At this time, inside the boiler, a pure white grate is being placed inside.

Dense with small holes, most of which are only larger than the eye of the needle. However, in other places, it is not much different from the way corn wine is made.

"Master Wu, how is it, are there any other questions?"

Hearing this, Master Wu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly replied.

"There is no other problem, now it is the problem of the workers. They're fine, everything else is fine. ”

"Master Wu rest assured, the workers are absolutely fine. By the way, the first row of wine, when the time comes, stay, I will put it in the store to sell, after all, the first row of wine has a bad taste. ”

Hearing this, Master Wu nodded in agreement.

"That's right, boss......"

At this time, Xu Anguo, who was beside him, spoke.

"What's the matter, Master Xu, do you have anything else?"

"Boss, yes. After all, the taste of sorghum wine and corn wine is different, and the price will be different at that time. Boss, you'd better keep the wine jars separate. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Xu, I have already instructed Pearl to contact the ceramic factory." ”

Hearing that Liu Xiaoming had already arranged it, Xu Anguo was relieved.

"Tomorrow, let's start work early and let the workers go to work early."

"No problem......"

"Can ......"

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming was relieved. After all, it depends on the time of the master chef.

When the first pot is opened, it is necessary to worship.

The god of wine, in fact, is Du Kang. This is a ritual that many veteran craftsmen must perform, and it is inevitable and unavoidable.

So, early the next morning, Liu Xiaoming got up. At the same time, Master Wu and Master Xu got up early.

A large handful of incense, lit, is inserted in various parts of the distillery.

Then, three bowls of wine were poured at the door of the stove. Next, light a small handful of firecrackers. These rituals are called toasting to the gods. After that, it is time to worship the god of the stove. After a lap, half an hour passed.

Then comes the main topic, opening the furnace to make wine.

The first step is to light the fire and then wash the pot. Among them, washing the pot is very troublesome, and it is necessary to clean all the cylinders. Liu Xiaoming was in the winery where sorghum wine was brewed at this time, after all, he had not seen sorghum wine brewed, and those who had not seen it would be full of curiosity.

In the winery, more than a dozen workers are waiting for them. After all, 5,000 catties of sorghum is not a small amount. Especially after steaming, the weight increases several times. There aren't so many people, so I can't keep myself busy.

"Master Wu, isn't the brewing process of sorghum wine similar to corn wine?"

Master Wu, who was cleaning the bottom of the pot, raised his head when he heard this.

"It's very similar, but there are differences. Corn wine, which is relatively simple to brew. After all, this corn is not as fragile as sorghum. Sorghum wine, you must control the time.

Every time the koji medicine, waterproofing, steaming, and making the box are different. ”

After speaking, Master Wu handed over the broom in his hand to the worker.

"For example, if you steam corn, you need to steam it over high heat for at least an hour. However, sorghum is not the same. If the sorghum is steamed for an hour, it will already be steamed, and when the time comes, let alone brewing, there will be nothing. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming nodded cooperatively.

"And boss, look, steamer, this thing is very different. After we boil the water, the sorghum has been soaked in it for more than an hour, and then the water is released. ”

These crafts, in fact, are not introduced, and you can never understand them.

After getting started, everything that seems simple to you is often the most important.

An oversight causes a loss. Liu Xiaoming is very studious now, and he wants to learn anything. That's what it takes to be a boss. You don't need to be very good at what you know, after all, there are workers to do it for you.

But you have to know more than something, or rather know something. After all, only in this way can you ensure that you will not be cheated.

When the morning sun comes out, the wineries on both sides are in full swing.

This time, the sorghum wine side needs to use the corn side of the dregs, and it has been prepared in advance. Looking at the boiling water that began to boil, Master Wu hurriedly asked the workers to seal the fire. Then, pour the sorghum into it, and the day's business is over.

Overall, the first day was the most relaxing. At the same time, it is also the easiest. A week later, it's the busiest time.

Compared to this, Xu Anguo is obviously much busier. There is a saying that the fire cooks the grain violently, and the guy steams the wine.

At this time, the sake that had been left over from the past had slowly come out. Looking at the time, Liu Xiaoming was about to urge his aunt to make breakfast. However, something suddenly came to mind, and Liu Xiaoming hurriedly found Master Xu and Master Wu.

"Boss, what's the matter...."

Xu Anguo looked at Liu Xiaoming suspiciously, not understanding why he was looking for the two of them.

"Two masters, I want to give a special explanation here, you two must take it to heart."

"You say...."

"Workers must not be allowed to drink, they must be remembered."

Hearing this, both of them knew what the reason was. It's not that the wine is too good for them to drink. Rather, once you drink it, you will find a problem. Liu Xiaoming's promotion to the outside is that his brewmaster's exclusive secret recipe and the reason for cellaring. That's when he hid the matter of the spring.

However, this should not be hidden for a long time, but it can be as long as it can.

"Okay, boss, you can rest assured...."

"That's good...."

After all, for such an important matter, Liu Xiaoming didn't personally tell it, and he was always not at ease.

"Okay, two masters, you're busy, I'll go see if the meal is ready..."

After speaking, Liu Xiaoming left here.
