【Chapter 165】 Equipment Handling

After the new liquor shop of the Liu family was ignited and opened, it could not produce wine for a while and a half, and the old liquor workshop would naturally not be abandoned so quickly, and the Liu family would have to rely on the production of the old liquor workshop to withstand the sales of the last month.

For the past month, the brewery has steamed rice every day, cooled it, mixed it with koji, and put it in a prepared jar for fermentation. According to some ancestral secret recipes, Liu Rui prepared to ferment all the steamed rice in a jar for a month, and then take it out for distillation. With the ancestral secret recipe and the cheating method such as space spring water, Liu Rui is naturally confident in brewing a mellow wine.

At the same time that the Liu family was preparing to expand the winery, many people came to the Liu family and asked if the old equipment should be sold at a discount? For a time, Liu's family was like a city, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

Some villagers are to inquire about the processing of wine-making equipment, and some are purely to open their eyes, after all, the wine-making equipment that Liujiaxin Distillery can handle hundreds of catties of rice every time is already a giant in the hearts of many villagers.

In the past two years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the market of rice wine sales and pig breeding has continued to heat up, and many farmers have begun to put the direction of getting rich on the integration of wine and pig breeding. Especially after the Liu family expanded the wine workshop and the Zhang family set up a large-scale pig farm, the stimulation brought to the villagers of Liang Village was even greater.

The villagers all feel that brewing and raising pigs is actually a good development direction, although it may not be able to have great development, but it is better to be stable and slow down, which is very in line with the judgment of the farmers. Looking at the past, the wine-making families in Liangcun and Qingyun Town have basically become solid homes, which makes many people feel a little hot.

In Liang Village, not every household has a large number of fields and orchards, and due to various historical reasons, some farmers only have a few acres of thin fields on hand, barely enough for food rations. There are not many such families in Liang Village, and if they don't go out to work, it is indeed a bit difficult to support their families by digging in the fields.

Life is forced out!

In Liu Rui's impression, there are not a few families like Liang Village, but they often become the first people in the village to get rich. Without enough land, they can only dig out their minds to start a small business, carry out large-scale farming, etc., to increase their income.

Qian Dabiao, the richest man in the village, is actually from such a family, because there are no fields and forests at home, and Qian Dabiao, who is so poor that he started to buy mountain goods more than ten years ago, and then gradually has his current belongings.

This time, the Liu family expanded the new winery, and many farmers who were interested in brewing and raising pigs thought that the Liu family would let go of the old winemaking equipment, and they came to buy it. After all, a new set of brewing equipment with a boiler costs at least 10,000 yuan, which not everyone can afford. If you buy a set of second-hand ones, it costs two or three thousand, and you can use it for at least ten or eight years, and no matter who can calculate such an economic account.

However, Liu Rui faced many seekers, and he hadn't made up his mind for a while, after all, everyone was a villager, and many words were not easy to speak.

At noon that day, after sending a few visitors away, Liu Rui was finally able to take a breath and lay down on the lazy chair in the courtyard for a while. Ever since the new brewery started steaming rice, Liu Rui has become like a spinning top, and he has been busy.

Every day, he and Liu Jiahong have to brew the rice wine they need today in the old winery, and then enter the new winery to steam hundreds of catties of rice. Of course, this kind of talk will not last long, and after a month, the Liu family will be able to concentrate all their energy on the new winery.

Liu Rui lay on the chair, looking at the golden sunlight transmitted through the gaps in the leaves of the osmanthus tree, and felt a trace of warmth. After the time entered January, the temperature in Liangcun dropped sharply, and it was only about ten degrees in the morning and evening, but the bright sunshine during the day still made the winter in Liangcun not cold.

Just when Liu Rui was enjoying the warm winter sun, another guest came.

"Uncle Hua Qiang, what's the matter with a phone call, and you still need to come up in person?" Liu Rui made a cup of tea for Wang Huaqiang and Wang Shaozhang, and said with a smile.

Since the last time Zeng Ying and others came to the house, the Liu family has also developed the habit of making tea for important guests. Even an old farmer like Wang Huaqiang feels that the Liu family's chrysanthemum tea is a bit different.

Through the rising smoke, Wang Huaqiang's expression was constantly changing, and he seemed to be careful about his choice of words and sentences in his heart.

"Xiao Rui, do you want to deal with the old boiler at home, if that's the case, just dispose of it to us." Liu Rui's first sentence made Liu Rui feel surprised, he didn't expect Wang Huaqiang to have such an idea at all.

"Uncle Huaqiang, there are so many fields and mountains and forests at home, why do you think of making wine now?" In Liu Rui's impression, only families with little land will set their sights on winemaking and doing small business. Wang Huaqiang's family has more than ten acres of fertile land, and there are hundreds of acres of fruit forests in the mountains, can they still have the heart to make wine and raise pigs?

"No, the eldest of our family has already married, and now he is ready to split up, don't you have to find some belongings for Brother Shaozhang, so that a bowl of water can be flattened." Wang Huaqiang pointed to Wang Shaozhang, who was sitting next to him, and said.

At this time, Liu Rui suddenly remembered some of Qingyun's customs.

In Qingyun, generally families with brothers in the family, after getting married and having children, they have to separate, and then the big family and the small family begin to live separately. Dividing the family is the top priority for the villagers, and they must be cautious, and they must not be sloppy.

Often, many family conflicts and sibling rivalries occur when families are separated, and there are countless examples of this kind in rural areas. In view of this, Wang Huaqiang is also extremely concerned about the matter of dividing Wang Shaojun's family this time, for fear of making a mistake.

Wang Shaojun disliked that it was too hard to take care of the mountains and forests at home, and he was not very willing to take over the mountains and forests at home, but wanted Wang Huaqiang to pay for him to buy a diesel thresher. Seeing that his brother was not willing to work in the mountains, Wang Shaozhang naturally felt a little resigned, and also proposed not to work in the mountains, and wanted to find something else to make a living at home.

After thinking about it, Wang Shaozhang fell in love with the industry of winemaking and pig raising.

First of all, winemaking and pig raising is not a strange business in Wang Shaozhang's eyes, after all, he grew up with Liu Rui since he was a child, and he has been in and out together for several years, and what he has seen and heard is enough for Wang Shaozhang to have a general understanding of the entire process of winemaking. Secondly, the good relationship between the Wang family and the Liu family can ensure that the Liu family will not be stingy with the teaching of wine-making techniques, and ensure that after taking over, they can brew rice wine suitable for the taste of the villagers.

Finally, it is also determined by the current market situation, which makes Wang Shaozhang and others feel that brewing and raising pigs is promising.

The combination of various reasons made Wang Huaqiang take Wang Shaozhang to Liu's house today and propose to buy wine-making equipment.

"If Brother Shaozhang wants to make wine, there is no problem, anyway, I have to dispose of these equipment." Liu Rui nodded, and then explained: "However, you still have to wait for a month, after all, it will take a month for the new equipment to produce rice wine, and we will have to rely on the old equipment during this time." ”

"This is natural, anyway, you can leave the equipment to us when the time comes!" Hearing such a reply, Wang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

If you want to make wine and raise pigs, you have to build a winery and a pig house at home, which requires a lot of investment, plus the money for Wang Shaojun to buy a diesel engine thresher, Wang Huaqiang feels a little stretched. Otherwise, he would not have targeted Liu Rui's second-hand goods, after all, compared to the new equipment, the old equipment is at least five or six thousand cheaper.

Now that he heard Liu Rui's promise, the stone in Wang Huaqiang's heart naturally landed steadily.

"When the time comes, I will explain all the precautions for winemaking to Brother Shaozhang, and introduce some customers to you, so that you can get on the right track as soon as possible." After Liu Rui knew that Wang Shaozhang was going to make wine, he quickly made such a decision.

Wang Shaozhang is his own hair, Wang Huaqiang is a good partner of his father, and their family has helped the Liu family a lot, and it is reasonable for Liu Rui to do this. In addition, the main market targets of Liujia Distillery are food stalls, small restaurants, etc. in the county, and now the grocery stores in some villages and towns are naturally a little scattered. If Wang Shaozhang can take over the past, it will be a good thing, and I won't feel a pity.

The most important thing is that Liu Rui can only teach Wang Shaozhang the brewing recipe of low-grade rice wine that is drunk in large quantities in the countryside, and there will be no conflict with Liu Rui's main product in the future.

Liu Rui's statement made the Wang family father and son even happier, which meant that Wang Shaozhang could easily accept Liu Rui's equipment, technology and customers, which was almost equivalent to taking over a hen that would lay golden eggs. Wang Huaqiang was secretly glad that if it was a little later, Liu Rui would order this set of equipment to others, and he would only stare dryly.

After the transfer of equipment was done in a few words, everyone put down their worries and chatted happily.

For Liu Rui, the old equipment has found the most suitable home, and he no longer has to talk to those villagers who come to buy it. After all, emotionally speaking, Liu Rui and Wang Shaozhang have a good relationship, and such a result is exactly what he is happy to see.

For the Wang family father and son, they have found another way to get rich, as long as they stick to it, not to mention making a fortune, but there will not be much problem in becoming well-off. In addition, the matter of the separation is basically settled, and there should be no problems.

The warm sunlight pours down from the treetops, and everyone's heart is warm!
