Chapter 180: Distillery Diversification

Now that the company's trivial matters are in charge, Liu Xiaoming set his sights on the winery. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After making sake with spring water, the taste of the sake brewed by the brewery changes dramatically.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoming was not willing to sell the newly brewed wine. All of them were cellared, and wine jars were specially made in the porcelain factory.

In the early hours of summer, it was still relatively cool.

However, by noon, the hot people can't stand it.

It was still dark outside, but the lights were already bright in Liu Xiaoming's winery. The white mist rising from the brewery looks fairy under the illumination of energy-saving lamps.

At this time, there were four people inside, in addition to Xu Anguo and the three, Liu Xiaoming was also inside.

took off his clothes, and was carrying a handful of hot corn in his bare arms.

The aroma of corn has been permeating, and the 4 people are in full swing.

"Hey, I'm still tired from doing some work in this cold. The year before last, I carried thousands of catties or tens of thousands of catties of corn by myself. ”

Liu Xiaoming put down the dustpan and touched the big sweat on his head.

"Boss Liu, you haven't worked for a long time, so you feel tired from working coldly."

Zhou Chaofeng looked at Liu Xiaoming and said with a smile. By the way, pour the corn in your hand into the dustpan on the ground.

"That's right, it's easy to be lazy, but it's hard to be diligent. In the past few days, I have been working in the distillery and learning the art of sake brewing. ”

"Okay, welcome boss."

Xu Anguo, who had just come from the stove, heard the words and immediately said with a smile.

Master Xu, the next step is to sprinkle koji medicine. ”

Liu Xiaoming looked at the fact that there was no corn in the vat where the grain was boiled, and Xu Mancang was pouring the fermented corn in the jar into it.

"Yes, since Boss Liu wants to learn, then I'll teach you. Today, you learn how to sprinkle koji medicine. ”

"Okay, I've wanted to try it for a long time."

Hear the words. Liu Xiaoming immediately brought over a pot of koji medicine that had been weighed on a scale a long time ago. The thin koji medicine also exudes a slight fragrance, and it feels good in the hand.

"Boss Liu, let's sprinkle koji medicine, focusing on three aspects: fast, even, and quantity. Look at it......"

After speaking, Xu Anguo grabbed a handful of koji medicine in his hand, and then touched the temperature of the corn with his hand.

"At this point, the corn is no longer hot. You can sprinkle koji medicine,......"

After speaking, Xu Anguo pointed the koji medicine in his hand to the corn below. Then, leak a thin slit out of your finger.

"We are artificial, so we pay special attention to the uniformity and quantity control of koji medicine. Slip your fingers out of the slit and quickly draw circles on top with your whole hand. In this case, the koji medicine will be sprinkled evenly. ”

As he spoke, Xu Anguo's hand spun in circles quickly. After only a few laps, the surface of the corn in the basket below has been covered with an even layer of koji medicine.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoming gave it a try. In the same way, grab a handful of koji medicine and start sprinkling it.

However, Liu Xiaoming is a novice after all, and the gap between his fingers is too big.

The koji medicine was quickly finished, and there was still a lot of corn below that had not been sprinkled.

"Haha...... It seems like practice makes perfect. ”

Seeing this, Xu Anguo took the koji medicine and sprinkled it on it again.

"That's right, you can't do it evenly without long hours of practice. There is also the amount, 1,000 catties of corn, which is basically a catty of koji medicine.

However, these koji medicines can only be used up after three times of sprinkling koji medicine. It can't be used all at once, in that case, let alone the yield, whether there is wine or not is still a problem. ”

Looking at Xu Anguo, who was the head of the introduction, Liu Xiaoming was once again surprised by the cumbersome process. Xu Anguo began to continue to sprinkle the medicine. After doing this three times, the process of sprinkling the koji medicine is completed.

Next, it's time to make the box.

It's simple, just take out the model and pour the corn into it. At the same time, the inside of the table tank was already bubbling at this time.

"Now it's just a matter of closing the lid and connecting it to the inside of the condenser."

Liu Xiaoming knows these processes, so he doesn't need Xu Anguo to say what to do next. After a while, the four people in the winery were busy sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoming suddenly thought of something.

"Master Xu, in the newly built winery, how about we install air conditioning."

Hearing this, Xu Anguo's face was overjoyed. After all, everyone wants to work in a comfortable environment, and winemaking is a morning job. In the summer and winter, the workers are not comfortable working, and it is also a test for the production of sake.

"That's a good feeling, so I can guarantee that this summer's yield will be higher than last year's."

This is what I want, as long as the output can be guaranteed, any investment is worth it. Moreover, Liu Xiaoming does not plan to go to the low-end of the wine brewed now, what he plans is to go to the high-end brand wine. It's a shame to sell such a delicious wine at a low price.

"That's okay, it's good to have Master Xu's words. When the time comes, I'll arrange it. Master Xu, I am going to diversify the winery next, and I am going to make a few more wines. ”

Hearing this, Xu Anguo looked at Liu Xiaoming suspiciously.

"That's right, our distillery can't make corn wine in its entirety, but also sorghum wine and other varieties. In this way, it can meet the needs of people with different preferences. ”

Xu Anguo suddenly realized, and then frowned.

"It's not easy to do, Boss Liu, I'm a wine master, I can't do so much!"

"So I have something to ask you, when you used to make wine, you must have known a lot of winemakers, so you can help introduce one."

"That's it! That's fine, there are a lot of old guys who make wine. But, boss, what are you going to do. ”

After speaking, Xu Anguo looked at the winery. Liu Xiaoming understood what Xu Anguo meant, which was nothing more than how to arrange it.

"That's right, I'm going to leave this winery untouched now. When the time comes, we use it to make kudzu liquor. I have inquired, this wine is suitable for health, and there is no need to worry about the market at that time.

However, after all, it is not as big as the market for soy sauce wine. So, at the new brewery, I prepared two large stoves. They are all 5,000 catties of large stoves, which will be used to make sorghum wine and corn wine when the time comes. How do you think ......?"

After listening to Liu Xiaoming's words, Xu Anguo fell into thought.

"That's okay, you need at least five masters and a dozen guys. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep busy. By the way, our spring water is so suitable for brewing, the boss will use the ancient method of brewing, not high-tech machines.

After all, using those machines still affects the taste. ”

This is indeed a fact, machine brewing, that is, assembly line production, it is impossible to have the taste of artificial brewing.

"In this case, it won't be a dozen guys who can come over, and the winery needs to recruit dozens of guys."

"Hmmm......"

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming did not hesitate.

"Alright, let's settle it. Master Xu, during this time, you will help me contact the brewing master, and after the winery is built in the second half of this year, I will be able to start brewing. ”

After speaking, Liu Xiaoming was ready to leave.

"No problem, huh...... Boss, where are you going, don't learn to make wine."

"Oops......"

Stretching his waist, Liu Xiaoming said as he walked: "I'm tired, we young people are drowsy and sleepy, now go back and make up for sleep." ”

After speaking, Liu Xiaoming left.

Xu Anguo: "......"

"I said why he was so diligent today, and he actually came to the winery to help with the work, and he was waiting here. Routine...."
