Chapter 40: Home-brewed beer
As soon as Chen Fan went out, he saw Davis talking to a few Huaxia employees on the beach. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I know you like beer, but I don't know if you like beer enough to drive you crazy enough to start making your own. The beer you're going to brew is definitely not the kind of beer that is sold on the road and is as light as water. That kind of beer isn't worth the effort you put in. I'm introducing Seiko beer here, which is the kind of beer that has a mellow taste, a fragrant taste and a rich cultural character. ”
Hearing Davis's words, Chen Fan remembered that in the past ten years, the United States, Australia and other countries have been crazy about developing Seiko beer and home-brewed beer, and South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other places are also forming a general climate of Seiko beer. It seems that Davis has a heart for winemaking. Chen Fan patiently found a corner and quietly listened to what Davis was saying.
"Once you've learned how to brew at home, you can brew any beer you like, and you can even create your own beer flavors. It's also one of the great pleasures of brewing your own beer. ”
Li Qing was a little stunned, listening to Davis's words, he said with some disdain: "Beer, I often drink it in Huaxia, it's not as exaggerated as you say, in addition to the bitterness, it's worth drinking a few sips, if I want to say, it's still more manly with liquor." ”
"Oh, Li, I admit that Huaxia's baijiu is very peculiar. But if you say that beer is only bitter, it's because you haven't drunk real beer. A really good beer can make my cold tongue feel a little sweet, my cheeks are filled with an indescribable full fragrance, and further down, I start to feel bubbles tickling in my palate, and the bitterness on the sides of my cheeks makes people feel uplifted; After swallowing, the lips and teeth are fragrant. ”
Bang bang bang, Davis patted the bottles and cans beside him a few times, "Hey, Li and the fifth, I don't usually reveal my winemaking skills to them." In order to mend our previous conflict, I used all my stunts to press the bottom of the box. Let's show you what Australian home brewing is and definitely change your impression of beer. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that he found wild malt in our area, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to show off my winemaking skills."
Speaking of the activity area, Chen Fan deliberately divided a large area for them to use casually in order to make these employees happy on the island, but did not restrict them, and some wild things on it can also be picked. Of course, Chen Fan had also explored that area before, and he didn't find any precious medicinal materials.
Davis craned his neck and cleared his throat, "Ahem, the brewing process of beer is very simple, you don't have to be smart to understand it." First, the barley malt is soaked in hot water to release the maltose and form the wort juice. After the maltose juice is separated from the grain, it is boiled and hops are added to flavor it. After the wort is cooled, it is put in yeast for fermentation. Yeast converts sugar juice into alcohol and carbon dioxide during the fermentation process. After the fermentation is completed, it will be stored at a controlled temperature for half a month to allow the beer to mature. ”
Fifth Mingliang opened his mouth to tease Davis, "I said Davis, don't talk about it, hurry up and make wine." Obviously he is a rough man, how can he make it like an artist. ”
It's okay not to mention it, but the fifth Mingliang mentioned the artist, and Daviston came to the spirit of "Beer is science, but also art." You can use your boundless imagination and creativity to brew the beer of your own mind. This in itself is a wonderful thing. ”
Seeing Davis's fanatical expression, Li Qing and Fifth Mingliang didn't say anything anymore. This guy is a madman when it comes to winemaking.
Looking at Davis's appearance from a distance, Chen Fan didn't know how to say it, looking at Davis's fanaticism, he really looked like a brewmaster. Home brewing is all the rage in Australia, and most people are able to make their own good beer, but very few are truly masters of brewing. Listening to Davis introduce beer there, Chen Fan really looked forward to it, coupled with the unique situation of his island plants, maybe the brewing part can burst out with amazing sparks.
Thinking of the end, Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and it seemed that he was a man destined to become the king of food. Ah, this is a bit ambiguous. Well, or himself destined to become the man who rules the gastronomic world.
However, if you want to enter the high-end alcohol market, the mainstream should still be white wine and red wine. As for the beer, it's better to keep it for yourself.
Thinking about it, Chen Fan unconsciously laughed happily, "Hahaha, I'm so smart." ”
Suddenly, several eyes glanced at Chen Fan.
"Old, boss." "Boss." Several people shouted.
Chen Fan was a little embarrassed by a few people, and hurriedly changed the topic: "What are you guys doing?" ”
As soon as he heard Chen Fan's words, Daviston came to his senses: "Boss, we found a small piece of good malt in the activity area, and we are going to brew a little beer to drink, hehehe." ”
"I can't see that you can make wine, don't forget to bring me a few glasses when the brew comes."
"Of course, of course, the beer is brewed for a banquet."
"Okay, no problem, you can bring out the wine for the banquet, and I'll take care of the rest." Chen Fan said happily, the employees have taken out the beer, and they can't be stingy.
"Hey, hey, that's great." Davis kept raising his eyebrows at Li Qing and Fifth Mingliang, meaning 'Look, buddy, let's persuade the boss to have a banquet'.
Chen Fan found a place to do it, and watched Davis pound bottles and cans there. I found an opportunity to ask a few Huaxia employees next to me.
"Well, you're used to being here, aren't you? In Australia, we are all uprooted from home, since we are on the island, we don't have to be too restricted, in addition to work, we are all friends. When you go out, you are all Chinese people, everyone takes care of each other, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can bring it up with me, and I will try my best to help you solve it. ”
Li Qing patted his chest and said loudly, the voice shook Chen Fan's ears a little, "Boss, it's all good here." We should be satisfied with good food, good housing, and a better salary than before. But as you know, it's so far away from Sydney that we don't usually have any entertainment facilities, it's just a bit boring. ”
Fifth, Mingliang saw Li Qing talking nonsense, and immediately glared, pulled Li Qing and said to Chen Fan carefully: "Boss, Li Qing is just talking about his brain, don't take it seriously, in fact, we are all good here." "Fifth Mingliang is much smarter than Li Qing, although some bosses in Australia want to care, but often in the end, employees let go and say that they are all fired in the end.
Looking at the fifth Mingliang's cautious appearance, Chen Fan smiled unmindfully, "Fifth, don't be nervous, I'll just ask casually." Well, I'll ask Cooper to book some pool tables, and then make a clearing of the beach next to it, and you can have nothing to do. If there's anything else you'd like to play, please let me know and I'll do my best to get it for you. If you want to go to the bars or something, don't worry, in a few months there will be a resort on the beach a little east of the island, and all of this will be available by then. ”
Looking at the sincere look in Chen Fan's eyes, Fifth Mingliang breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he really thought too much. Li Qing next to him was more straightforward and immediately spoke: "Boss, do you mean that we will have a resort on our island?" Will there be a bar? ”
Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "That's right, but it will take a few months." ”
"That's great, and we should be able to make a living with us at the bar." Li Qing thought it was just a small-scale resort, and was afraid that the bar would not be easy to operate by then.
Fifth, Mingliang's eyes rolled a few times, and he asked thoughtlessly, "That bar was invested by the owner?" ”
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, "It does have something to do with me, but how do you know that I invested it?" ”
"Hey, hey, it's not hard to guess, since the boss can know the news in advance, and it's something on the island, it must have something to do with the boss. I'll just guess. Fifth Mingliang knew that he was clever, and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
Chen Fan thought about it for a while, it seemed that the reason was indeed quite simple, but the fifth Mingliang was able to think of it so quickly, and there was indeed something extraordinary.
