Chapter 0170 - Lack of Secretaries Around the Leader
The soap workshop is about to bring good profits.
The peanut processing workshop is also about to bring good income. Among the newly bought serfs, several cooks were arranged to study delicious peanuts, and peanut butter, peanut crisp, salt and pepper peanuts, and fried peanuts have been developed and handed over to the Thorn Caravan in small batches for sale.
The response was very good, and many nobles tasted these delicious peanuts and said that they would buy them in large quantities next time.
The peanut production in Flower Town is insufficient, and there are not enough workers, so Lucas, the chef in charge of the peanut processing workshop, has commissioned the Thorn Caravan to purchase peeled peanuts from Northvalley City.
"Well done. Liszt only gave him a verbal compliment, and then left. The whole peanut processing workshop is his idea, these people are just executors, no creativity.
He liked to use gold coins, silver coins, and copper plates to encourage creativity, discovery, and modeling, rather than to encourage serious work, because serfs were supposed to work hard.
The last stop is the winery.
Frank Distiller's Lees makes fruit wine, Bertin makes rice wine, and Huntea makes beer, and now they are all hurrying to brew wine and try to brew it sooner and earn income for the workshop. However, no one in the workshop can make liquor, and no one can make wine.
Ordinary wine, no different from fruit wine.
However, the craft of craft wine is very demanding, and the selection of grapes is also very delicate, and the techniques of dry, semi-dry, sweet and semi-sweet varieties of wine are all different.
On Coral Island, only Château Tulip has mastered the art of making sweet wines, and the crescent wines, which are sweet and clear, are famous in the Grand Duchy.
Liszt's Lazi Lodge Cellar Red Wine, which Liszt drank at the Château of Long Taro, is the best of dry wines.
These techniques are all secret skills that are not passed down, and they are mastered by the great nobles.
It's the same with liquor.
As a distilled spirit, the brewing process of baijiu is more complex and monopolized by the big nobles, and baijiu such as juniper liquor is not necessarily available in ordinary times.
Therefore, the winemaking workshop in Flower Town can only make some simple fermented wine.
After inspecting the workshop, Liszt began to ponder: "If I am not mistaken, distilled spirits have more distillation than fermented spirits...... It seems that alcohol is purified by using the different vaporization temperatures of alcohol and water, and it is possible to obtain a highly strong liquor by distilling it repeatedly. ”
Because he doesn't like to drink, he has done little research on alcohol.
I've read a lot of novels before, and most of them have a reference to distilling liquor, which seems quite simple, so I have a vague impression.
"Perhaps, I can let the brewery research and research the distilled liquor technology, maybe I can brew baijiu and increase the specialties of Flower Town. ”
Rice wine is a liquor fermented with grains.
Baijiu is also essentially made from grains.
Liszt thought that if the rice wine was further distilled, would it be possible to get baijiu?
So he called out to the three winemakers: "I have given you a task, remember, this task is highly confidential, but anyone who leaks it will be whipped to death!"
The three winemakers tightened their buttocks and replied, "Swear to keep the secret of the mission!"
"Very good, I got a recipe that says that baijiu is obtained by distilling rice wine, heating the rice wine to turn it into steam, and then introducing the steam into other places to cool it down into water, you can remove the water from the rice wine, and finally what is left is baijiu...... You grope a few more times and strive to brew the liquor from Flower Town!"
The three winemakers listened in a daze.
However, he simply replied: "Please rest assured, Lord Lord, we will definitely brew liquor as soon as possible." ”
The task continues.
Liszt felt that another specialty of Flower Town was beckoning to him, and he even thought of the name at this moment: "It's called Flower Stuff, well, score grade." The low degree of flower brewing is called five-year aging, and the high degree can be claimed to be ten years old, twenty years old, or even a hundred years of cellar aging, or five hundred years ......"
It suddenly occurred to me that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire had only a history of more than 150 years of founding, and before that, there were only monkeys on the island.
"Forget about 500 years of aging, just come to a wine that is the same age as the country, let's say that in the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a winemaker came to Coral Island and brewed a vat of wine with his own hands...... There is only one tank, but you can get one every year, just like the 82-year-old Lafite, who has not finished drinking for many years. ”
When he thinks of alcohol sales, many classic cases immediately pop up in his mind.
But it also found risks: "The profiteering industry of liquor is difficult to guarantee without strong strength, and it must cooperate with Tulip Castle." ”
Pulling the banner of Tulip Castle, business is easy to do, as the earl of the Grand Duchy, William Li Tulip, in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, is definitely one of the high-level figures.
Moreover, he is also the groom of the Grand Duke, and he will have close contact with the Grand Duke every year.
If you want to pull the banner, you must share the profits to the Tulip Castle, and Liszt doesn't mind - the more he integrates into the world, the more he understands the importance of noble connections.
Levi, Livia, and even Lytton, no matter how intrigued, are relatives. It is a presence that can help in times of crisis.
The little Viscount of Papa Island was destroyed, and the Viscount of the Great Papa Island, who had split up, is still running to investigate and urge the Grand Duke to find the murderer.
Liszt, of course, hoped that the tulip family would grow and become a towering tree that sheltered from the wind and rain.
The Lilong horse walks smoothly and barely feels the undulations.
Liszt could think about problems very well on horseback, and his mind jumped back and forth before he thought of the distribution of benefits, and then jumped to another thought: "Speaking of monkeys, maybe I can hype up monkey wine?"
Aristocrats love extravagance the most.
Extravagance includes not only wearing gold and silver, precious stones, and famous horses, but also art, and the pursuit of rare things. Monkey wine is obviously a rarity.
However, after all, there are too few nobles with rich backgrounds, and they are all nouveau riche who have been rich for no more than three or four generations, including the Tulip family, which has only developed in recent generations. They don't necessarily have much preference for things like monkey wine, they should prefer gems and gold coins. ”
In any case, when selling fruit wine, you can start with a wave of hype.
......
Liszt then inspected several other shops and workshops.
At present, there are only three shops in the commercial area of Flower Town: bakery, grocery store, and barber shop, and there are only blacksmith shops, tanners' shops, locksmiths' shops, tailor shops, as well as hoop barrel shops and newly built brewing workshops, soap making workshops, and peanut processing workshops.
Many of the wooden houses that were built were empty.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still many serfs paving roads, building houses, and planting grass, Flower Town would look like a ghost village.
Four hundred and seventy-six serfs joined and were assigned to each tun to farm, without making a few waves. Most of the more than 100 craftsmen who have high hopes are workers who do not have the ability to support shops and workshops independently, so they can only follow the farming for the time being, wasting their craftsmanship and skills.
"For a short time, the business district could only be used as a trading market, receiving the occasional caravans. He looked at the empty house and sighed very emotionally, "We must first vigorously develop the workshop area and become a production and processing center before we can drive the development of the commercial area." ”
Fingered at the business district.
I wanted to compare "how this is built" and "how is this built", but when I turned my head, I saw that there were only the valet Thomas and a few servant knights behind him.
They are all vulgar people.
The ambition to show his ambition for a moment was held back.
"Leaders inspect, not to mention grassroots cadres and the masses of the people, at least two secretaries must follow, holding a small notebook, at any time to record what I say......
