Chapter 80: Brewing the Wine

"Hey, Boss Liu, right? Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"That's right."

"My side is from the county, and the large feed mixer you bought on our side some time ago has been sent to Tuxiang Town, where are you, come and collect it."

"Oh, that's it, I'll come right over."

Hang up the phone, and the phone rings again.

"Boss Liu, it's me Xiang Ergou."

"Oh, Master Xiang."

"Well, if you want coal, I've already loaded the car, and today it's eight tons of carbon, and the price is one thousand and fifty-one tons."

"Okay, trouble Master Xiang, call me when you arrive."

"Good...."

Early in the morning, two phone calls came, and Liu Xiaoming had no thoughts about eating breakfast.

"Auntie, I can't finish breakfast, I'll go to town right now. Later, there is a Master Xu who wants to bring his mother over, and when the time comes, you can help me arrange that their room will be in the vacant room on the first floor. ”

"Xiao Ming, no matter how much you want to eat, why are you in such a hurry."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming smiled bitterly.

"I can't eat it, others are still waiting."

"Alright then, you go and buy something to eat in the town yourself."

"Okay...."

After an explanation, Liu Xiaoming left.

The feed mixer was purchased by Liu Xiaoming from the county seat.

It took six thousand five to bring a grinder, a mixer, and a one-stop mixing for feeding. The price is not expensive, but it is far away and a bit troublesome.

For such a large pig farm, a mixer is indispensable.

When I came to town, I called the other party's car at the station. Liu Xiaoming hurried over and saw a Chang'an truck with some machines strapped to it.

"This is Boss Shi's car??"

The voice fell, and the glass on the car opened.

"You are Liu Xiaoming."

"Yes, I am."

"Why is it so long, where is the place, hurry up and take us there, and hurry back after helping you install it."

The other party's tone was a little rushed, probably just waiting for half an hour, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Come with me, I'll lead the way."

Liu Xiaoming also faced this person neatly. As soon as the words fell, Liu Xiaoming turned the head of the car, honked the horn and ignited it and left. The other party also responded to the horn.

"Boss Liu, why is it so far, why didn't you say it earlier."

Back at the farm, as soon as he got out of the car, the man began to complain. Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming was also a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"You don't ask me what to say, do you want me to take the initiative to say it."

Hearing this, this man also stopped talking.

This person should be from the store where Liu Xiaoming bought the mixer, and he doesn't seem to be very old.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and find someone to unload it, I still have something."

At this time, hearing the sound of the car, Liu Ying came out. Xu Anguo, who had just settled down, also walked out and looked smiling.

"Xiao Ming, I'm back. This is what I bought...."

"Feed mixer, ouch, Master Xu is here to help with the handle, let's unload the things."

"Okay."

The thing looks quite big, but except for the part with the motor, which is heavier, the rest of the place is relatively light, and the three of them are completely fine.

After unloading, I saw this man tinkering on the ground for half an hour. Then, a huge iron shell stood in the ingredient room.

"Boss Liu, this is already installed, you can open it and try it."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming turned on the switch, and suddenly a roar came. Hurriedly turned it off and looked at this big guy with satisfaction.

"Boss Liu, since it has been installed, please give me the rest of the final payment."

Liu Xiaoming didn't make things difficult for the other party, took out his wallet from his body, counted thirty sheets, and handed them to the other party.

After taking the money, the man left in a hurry, as if there was really something urgent.

Not long after he left, Xiang Ergou also came, a large cart of black coal, all of which was lumpy carbon. Commanding Xiang Ergou to pour coal at the door of the distillery's stove, he then paid the other party's money.

"Master Xiang, the remaining truckloads of slag carbon are also pulled over in the past few days, my winery is about to start."

"No problem, I can pull two cars for you tomorrow, but today I can't help it. There are so many people over there, I can only go and line up for you tonight. ”

"Okay, then it's troublesome to the master."

"Don't bother, don't bother, Boss Liu will take care of my business more in the future."

Xiang Ergou is a lot more polite this time, and there are still few fools.

Liu Xiaoming sent Xiang Ergou away, and then returned to the office below and thought slowly.

"Now, the preparation is almost complete, and tomorrow the slag will come and you can start brewing. Moreover, tomorrow's first pigs should be coming as well. It seems that they can be notified tonight. ”

Winemaking, for the brewmaster, the first day of the furnace is incomparably sacred. Early in the morning, Xu Anguo and Liu Xiaoming got up early.

Zhou Chaofeng and Xu Mancang also came over early, and the four of them were standing outside the winery.

"Boss Liu, although it's about science now. However, we winemakers have had rituals for a long time, and you can not believe this thing, but we as juniors must respect it. ”

Indeed, we can not believe in the culture of many ancestors, but we cannot disrespect them. Sacrificing wine is not a tedious matter.

First of all, Xu Anguo took Liu Xiaoming to the place of the stove.

After the three sticks of incense were inserted, Xu Anguo chattered for a while.

Then, it was to the place where the Zhuo jar was placed, and the three sticks of incense were inserted again.

After that, the furnace is ignited.

ignition needs Liu Xiaoming, the boss. After grabbing a match and lighting it, Liu Xiaoming threw it into the stove.

The next thing was Xu Anguo's business, and I saw him throw large wooden sticks into the specially built stove.

Subsequently, close the lid. Suddenly, a puff of smoke came out of the chimney.

When the fire inside was blazing, he hurriedly threw the large carbon piled aside into it

。 After closing the lid again, Xu Anguo left the stove.

When I came to the distillery, I saw that after the fire just now, the huge Zhuo vat had begun to heat up.

Subsequently, Xu Anguo commanded Zhou Chaofeng and Xu Mancang to put on a specially customized retort. The retort is made of aluminum skin, and it is one meter and six fast and even semi-circular.

On the top, there are many small round holes, all of which are about the size of chopstick heads. This is used to isolate the corn and prevent it from falling into the pot below, which will be difficult to clean up at that time.

There is also a function, that is, in the last process, the aroma of fermented wine cannot be exposed to water.

After putting it away, make sure that there are no gaps around, and then pour the 1,200 catties of corn into it. After pouring, Xu Anguo used a climbing plow to smooth it out. This is the first time Liu Xiaoming has seen the process of winemaking, so he naturally followed the whole process.

"Master Xu, what should you do next?"

Master Xu didn't hide his secrets, and Liu Xiaoming explained everything carefully.

"Now, just wait for the water under the corn to boil."

"Why, don't you need to add more water?"

"Of course, you also need to add water, which is to steam the corn together, and then the corn will bloom in the process of boiling water."

"Blossom..."

Seeing Liu Xiaoming, who was puzzled, Xu Anguo explained with a smile.

"Flowering is the process of popping corn with the tip of a boiling bubble, just like popcorn, but not as much as popcorn.

When the time comes, the yield will be better. If it doesn't bloom, the koji medicine won't be able to get in at that time. The flowering was too ruthless, and the starch in the corn was drained again.

These are all affecting the output. Therefore, winemaking is a process that cannot be faulted. ”

"Oh...."

Listening to Xu Anguo's explanation, Liu Xiaoming was also vague.

"Mancang, go and see how the fire in the stove is, don't put it out. At this point, a fire needs to be burned. ”

Hearing this, Xu Mancang and Zhou Chaofeng, who were chatting on the side, hurriedly went down to watch the fire.
