【Chapter 150】 Expansion of the winery

On November 18 of the year of Gengchen, the imperial calendar said that it was advisable to move the ground, relocate, etc., and after the selection of Luli Daxian, it was determined that today it became a good day for the Liu family to dismantle the pigsty. So, early this morning, a group of people came to the Liu family's compound, ready to unload the pigsty in the backyard and raze it to the ground.

Although Liu Rui was not so impressed with Luli Daxian's suggestion, at the request of his parents and other elders, Liu Rui had no choice but to let Luli Daxian become a consultant and select various names for construction.

Demolishing the house, laying the foundation, putting on the beams and completing it, every day requires Luli Daxian to analyze and carefully select according to the situation of the Liu family.

In fact, sometimes life is carried out in constant compromise and tolerance, and how to achieve a harmonious balance between the ideas of all parties requires a certain amount of art and mind.

Today is the demolition of the house selected by Luli Daxian, and it happens to be sunny in rainy weather for several days, which is just right for construction, and it seems that it is really beautiful. The workers of the engineering team rushed to the Liu family's compound early in the morning, and many of them had long heard of this courtyard, but they had never had the opportunity to observe it. This time there was just such an opportunity, and everyone rushed here early to see it.

What's the difference between this yard and other people's yards?

Of course, just by looking at it, they can see that the whole yard is full of life, and the reason for this is not very clear.

Unlike the use of large machinery and advanced technologies such as directional blasting in the city to carry out demolition, the demolition of houses in rural areas has its own characteristics, and most of them are purely manual work.

Take Liu's pigsty as an example, in order to be able to preserve the roof tiles, the workers had to carefully put away the tiles and pass them to the ground one by one to arrange them neatly. It's not that Liu Rui is stingy, these tiles have to be wasted, but now you can't buy tiles even if you have money, and Liu Rui has to keep them carefully.

In order to preserve these quaint tiles, the engineering team used most of the workers and worked hard to clean up all the tiles. In addition, after the cedar beams and green bricks were also cleaned, the intact ones were selected and stacked in the yard.

The reason why it is so difficult is because of the special situation of the brewery.

When brewing wine, because a large amount of water vapor is generated, if the ventilation and heat dissipation are not good, it is easy to cause smoke and affect the vision. In the original brewery, with its brick structure and good ventilation and heat dissipation facilities, when the steamed rice was opened to cool, it was still full of smoke and no one could be seen.

Originally, Liu Rui also wanted to build the new winery into a modern reinforced concrete structure, but considering the exhaust ventilation and the future brand building of the winery, Liu Rui still decided to use a retro way to build a winery full of ancient charm.

However, it is not easy to build an ancient building out of thin air. Because whether it is modeling, design and material application, there are corresponding attention, once the mistake is made, the tiger will not look like an anti-dog.

To this end, Liu Rui also went to the county library, consulted a large number of relevant materials, and discussed with the technicians of Feng Jian Company before finally determining the final design plan. In retro design solutions, a lot of bricks and tiles are used, which are not so easy to find. Fortunately, the Liu family's pigsty and the old winery were built with these materials, and as long as you pay attention when dismantling, most of the materials can be preserved intact.

In addition, a little money from a nearby village is enough for the construction of a new brewery.

In order to better preserve the materials, Liu Rui had to spend a lot of money and let the demolition team slowly work by hand, keeping all the intact bricks and tiles and piling them up on the edge of the construction site.

In the vicinity of Qingyun, there is a special engineering team, which often undertakes projects with high technical and physical requirements such as demolishing houses and digging foundations, and has gradually become a pivotal force in the nearby construction market. Even Feng Jian's company, when encountering such a project, is outsourced to a professional engineering team to speed up the progress of the project.

For example, if you want to demolish a house, violent demolition is always simple, but if you want to preserve the materials intact, you need a certain amount of skill and experience. Only a professional engineering team can carefully preserve most of the materials according to the owner's requirements.

Liu Rui, who spent the money, naturally didn't have to worry too much, and the pigsty in the backyard was quickly dismantled and turned into a pile of tiles and green bricks, and dozens of beams were stacked in the open space in the backyard. Next, the engineering team began to dig the foundation according to the construction drawings provided by Liu Rui, and the entire backyard of Liu's house became a noisy construction site.

These workers who demolished houses and dug foundations were all men who ate meat and drank wine in large bowls near Qingyun, so they were naturally not gentle and elegant scholars. In between labor, they will always joke loudly and say some jokes with meat, showing the roughness of the market culture.

When Liu Rui first went home, he was still a little uncomfortable with this heavy style, and felt a little vulgar and difficult to fit in. However, as time went by, Liu Rui came into contact with more and realized that this is a group of very lovely people, they are enthusiastic, bold, and full of vitality.

After having more contact with them, Liu Rui felt that his petty family spirit was gradually dissipating, and his words and things were gradually becoming more and more relaxed.

Slowly, Liu Rui accepted such a group, and he could talk and laugh with them, discuss engineering problems together, and solve the problems encountered in construction. Liu Rui is like a sponge, absorbing the beneficial elements around him, gradually strengthening himself, and integrating into this bizarre world.

Soon, in less than three days, the horizontal and vertical foundation of Liu's backyard has been excavated, and the construction project has been on track in a short time.

In the next time, as long as the foundation is filled in the good name selected by the Luli Daxian method, it can be quickly built and put into use as soon as possible.

Compared with asking relatives for help, this method is a bit too expensive, but it only needs to prepare lunch for the engineering team at noon every day, which saves a lot of trouble. If you ask relatives to help, although it doesn't cost money, you need to prepare lunch and dinner, which is quite troublesome.

In the past few years, with the changes of the times, some customs and habits in Liangcun have gradually undergone subtle changes, and people are moving closer to a more efficient and trouble-free lifestyle. In the past, when people built houses, they would not hire a construction team, and from demolishing the old house to completing the new house, almost all the work was done by themselves. Only on some important occasions will relatives and friends be invited to help.

In this way, a lot of construction funds can be saved, but the construction period is very long, and there are many troubles. Over the years, the villagers' attitudes have gradually changed, and they have slowly abandoned the traditional way and switched to a more professional engineering team for construction.

In the three days after the autumn rain stopped, the pigsty in the backyard of the Liu family had been razed to the ground, and the high efficiency of the engineering team made Liu Rui quite satisfied, after all, the new winery was already completed and put into use, which will be an important opportunity for the Liujia winery to take off.

As the weather gradually cooled, Qingshan people were more keen to drink some millet wine to warm up, and the rice wine market began to show a rapid growth trend. In addition, in the traditional customs of Qingshan, after entering the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, it is the concentrated season of marriage. Take Liangcun as an example, in the recent period, you can hear the high-pitched and loud voice of suona every now and then, which means that someone has entered the palace of marriage again.

In the rural wine banquets, there are few high-end liquors such as beer and bottled wine, and most of them are rice wine, which occupies the most important position. Every time there is a happy event, the host must use rice wine to get the male guests drunk, so that the reception is in place. Every time the wedding banquet is held, it is a large-scale wine fighting competition, the scene is extremely lively, and it is quite popular with the masses.

Generally speaking, the rice wine needed for a wedding banquet is about three to five hundred catties, which is basically the current daily output of the Liu family. Now, Liujia Distillery is already struggling to supply the food stalls in the city and the grocery stores in nearby villages and towns, and if it doesn't expand production, it can only watch the orders from the wedding market slip away from the eyes.

Liu Rui knows that in the future, the winery will still have to go to the high-end market, but he does not want to miss the opportunity to expand the popularity and influence of the winery, as long as the market share of the winery is expanded as much as possible, and he will have more confidence when planning high-end products in the future.

These things were all learned by Liu Rui when he was reading books, as for whether they have any effect? He doesn't know yet, but he has to try everything to get the real out of practice.

At the same time as the expansion of the winery, the original winery winemaking equipment is still running normally to ensure the supply of customers' orders, and at the same time, Liu Rui also began to order larger specifications of winemaking equipment from the manufacturer. In the future, after the completion of the new brewery, the equipment will be installed, commissioned, and trial production will be carried out immediately to achieve a seamless connection.

Although he no longer goes to school, it doesn't mean that he has stopped learning, he is still hungry and thirsty, and he reads books whenever he has the opportunity to enrich himself.

Of course, unlike the previous situation of studying for exams when he was in school, Liu Rui now reads and learns more from a practical point of view, and only the knowledge he needs in life is what he is willing to dabble in and devote energy to pondering.

Since the establishment of Shennong Space, Liu Rui's attitude towards life is more calm, his position is higher, and his perspective on problems will be more comprehensive. Under such circumstances, Liu Rui is no longer ignorant when he reads books, not only knowing what it is, but also knowing why it is.

Perhaps, the trials of life can always make people grow up quickly!
