Chapter 185: Du Hachilang's connections
Although there are trees growing on this mountain, most of them are stones, which are not worth anything at all, that is, Du Dashan's family wants to open a workshop, and he can use the cave, and the others give it away for nothing, and no one wants it.
In order to clean the cave thoroughly, fires were lit in a few corners, and the medicine powder to repel insects and snakes was added, and soon there were no more small insects in it.
Not only on the ground, but also on the ground, they also carried torches and burned the top of the cave again. Du Dashan found a few stonemasons in Yangjia Village and asked them to make the cave more flat and polish some sharp edges and corners inside!
After half a month, the house outside was almost built, and the renovation inside the cave was successfully completed. Because of the size of the room, it is divided into ten rooms of about eighty or ninety square meters, and the wine of different vintages is stored in the cellar.
The house outside only needs to be built sturdy and spacious, with high courtyard walls, and a well dug for easy access to water.
Yang took his mother's two sisters-in-law, as well as the women of the village, to cook a big dish and invited the people in the village and the people who helped to eat.
Ten tables were set up, but Yang and the others were tired. Even Du Qimei and Du Jiumei were busy going around, and there was no time to rest.
But the hard work was worth it, and the workshop was finally built, ten days ahead of schedule. The people who came to help in the village, one person and a half taels of silver, finished building Du Dashan here, and then began to work with the farm.
During the construction of the workshop, even when the family was busy, Togoro insisted on making wine every day, although the amount of sake brewing each time was not much, but it was also expensive. Didn't miss a good time.
"Hachiro, the house at home has been built, go to the school tomorrow and tell your classmate surnamed Liu that I will send the vat over quickly." Du Dashan instructed and said, saving the following brothers a special trip.
"Got it, Dad, I'll tell Liu Silang tomorrow." Du Balang assured that Liu Silang's kid should not be too good to him now, and often said in front of Du Balang, thanks to Du Balang. He made a big deal himself. Sake brewing requires more than just a large vat for fermenting raw meal. A lot of wine jars are also needed. These things are all fired in the kiln factory of Liu Silang's house.
Early the next morning, when he went to the school, Du Balang told Liu Silang that he wanted to deliver the goods.
Liu Silang's small chest was banging. "Don't worry. This time. My grandfather, daddy, and uncles are all busy with your family's big orders. It will all be delivered to your home tomorrow. ”
Three hundred large vats, one large vat and one tael of silver, is larger and higher than the original six large vats that Du Wulang bought, and the price is much higher than before.
Liu Silang's standard vat was originally sold for one or two dollars, but the Du family's order was very large, and they directly ordered one or two pieces of silver. Three hundred, three hundred taels of silver.
The vats are all made of clay, and when the cost of materials and labor is all taken into account, they can still earn one-third of the profit, which is a full hundred taels of silver.
The eldest grandson of the Liu family, who has always been favored at home, is even happier to bring such a big business to the family, who in Liujia Village does not praise Liu Silang for his good looks. I felt that reading was useful, and I thought about sending my children to Lijia Village to study!
"That's good, thank you." Du Hachiro thanked.
Li Rui turned his head sideways and asked, "Hachiro, when will your winery open?" "The two families have already met, and in ten days, it will be the day when he and Du Qimei will get married. In the future, his father-in-law's family opened a workshop, of course he wanted to congratulate him.
Liu Silang on the side heard it, yes, Hachiro's house opened, how could he, as a friend, not congratulate him. The grandfather and father of the family all told her to get along with Du Balang well.
"yes, Hachiro, I'll go too." Liu Silang echoed, unwilling to be left behind.
Du Balang scratched his head and said, "I don't know, when I go back in the evening, I'll ask, and I'll tell you." ”
"Alright, we'll hear from you." Li Rui said briskly, thinking about what to give to his future father-in-law!
After returning in the evening, Du Balang asked his father: "Dad, Si Lang said that he would ask the family to send the vat over tomorrow, and he also asked our workshop when it will open, and his family will come to congratulate him." ”
"Eleven days later!" Du Dashan calculated and said in a deep voice, the sorghum flour, rice flour and other materials at home have been prepared, and when the big vat is transported, the raw material can be prepared for fermentation. At the current temperature, the number of sake fruits is not large, and it takes about 10 days of fermentation to use cellar mud before steaming. On the day of steaming, it is just used to open the business, and it can also let everyone smell the wine, so that the opening is auspicious.
Du Wulang was very excited on the side, and their family soon had a very large brewing workshop.
Du Jiumei calculated, hey, there are only more than 100 wine fruits, and at least one wine fruit is used in a large vat. If you want to reduce the amount of wine fruit, you must use a little more cellar mud. More microorganisms are obtained from the pit mud to speed up fermentation.
Du Wulang also calculated in his heart that the amount of wine fruit would take about ten days to ferment well.
In the evening, Du Jiumei found her father and took out a lot of cellar mud from the space and put it in six large vats. Ten catties are placed in a large vat, and you can't put too much, otherwise you will be discovered by the fifth brother.
Early the next morning, before Du Jiumei got up, there was the jingling of bells and the sound of mules and horses outside. Everyone got up and looked, and it turned out that they had sent the vat back.
Liu Silang's father, Liu Dazhuang, was about forty years old, a middle-aged man who was not tall but very strong, saw Du Dashan come out, and hurriedly said: "Brother Du, I will send you fifty first, and I will go back and continue to pull when I unload them." ”
These vats were so large that they could only pull two large vats in a mule cart or ox cart. He called all the mule carts in the village, and when they were all delivered, it was estimated that it would take a day.
"It's hard work, I haven't had breakfast yet, let's eat together later." Du Dashan greeted everyone and sent hot water.
Liu Dazhuang drank a bowl of water and said, "Don't eat, rush back after unloading, just in time for breakfast at home, save some time, just in time to send the second trip." ”
Since this is the case, Du Dashan did not keep it, and said: "That's okay, forget about being busy today, wait for the opening to be auspicious, and have a few more drinks with Brother Liu." ”
"Okay, I'll come then." Liu Dazhuang said with a smile, his son's vision is good, it is useful to study in a private school, not only is he literate, but he can also make a lot of good friends, such as the son of the big landlord Li in Lijia Village, the newly moved Ruan family boy, the grandson of the patriarch of Dujia Village, and now there is a Du Balang, the boy of Du Dayong's family is also good at fist and foot kung fu, and they are all decent people.
After unloading the goods, Liu Dazhuang did not stay, so he took people home quickly. (To be continued......)
