Although among the three girls, Fan Xiaolin's position is now the highest, the level of the big director. And Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui are only at the level of the principal.

But Fan Lao Pimple and his wife feel that no matter how powerful and capable a girl is, she still has to look at the man, and it is obvious that Wang Qiuya, who is with Wei Bao all day long, is more advantageous.

A few people were not particularly outstanding in the crowd, they silently went to the front row, and someone immediately automatically vacated the place.

The president's parents, this is not an ordinary identity, Wei Dakang and Huang Ying are transcendent in Weijiazhuang.

Now Wei Dakang and Huang Ying are also accustomed to not seeing Wei Bao for a while, and they know that if they ask Wei Bao, Wei Bao may not be able to say, so they are simply too lazy to ask.

As long as they know that Wei Bao is in Weijiazhuang, they will be at ease.

The development of ancient and modern textile processes is designed in response to textile raw materials.

Therefore, raw materials have an important place in textile technology.

In ancient times, the fibers used for textiles in various countries around the world were natural fibers, generally wool, linen, and cotton staple fibers.

For example, in the Mediterranean, the only fibers used for textiles were wool and flax; Cotton was used in the Indian Peninsula.

In addition to the use of these three fibers, the Ming Dynasty also made extensive use of long fibers - silk.

Silk is the finest, longest and most delicate textile fiber among all natural fibers, and can weave a variety of complex pattern jacquard fabrics.

The extensive use of silk fiber has greatly promoted the progress of ancient Chinese textile technology and textile machinery, so that silk weaving production technology has become the most distinctive and representative textile technology in ancient China.

But Wei Bao did not plan to go to the south of the Ming Dynasty to travel long distances to buy silk, his procurement principle, the first is the principle of proximity, the principle of cost.

According to the structure, the ancient general spinning wheel can be divided into two types: hand-spinning wheel and pedal spinning wheel.

The power of the hand spinning wheel to drive the spinning wheel comes from the hand, and when operating, it is necessary to shake the spinning wheel with one hand and engage in spinning work with the other.

The force of the pedal spinning wheel to drive the spinning wheel comes from the feet, and when operating, the spinning woman can spin with both hands, which greatly improves the work efficiency.

Since its appearance, the spinning wheel has been the most popular spinning machine, and even in modern times, it is still used as the main spinning tool in some remote areas.

The number of spindles in ancient spinning wheels was generally 2 to 3, with a maximum of 5.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, with the development of social economy, on the basis of various hand-me-down spinning wheel machinery, a large spinning wheel with dozens of spindles was gradually produced.

Unlike the original spinning wheel, the large spinning wheel is characterized by the number of spindles as many as dozens of pieces, and the use of hydraulic drive.

These characteristics make the large spinning wheel have the prototype of modern spinning machinery, and adapt to large-scale specialized production.

Taking hemp spinning as an example, the general spinning wheel spins up to 3 catties of yarn per day, while the large spinning wheel can spin more than 100 catties a day and night.

When spinning, enough hemp needs to be used to meet its production capacity.

The water-powered spinning wheel is an important invention of the ancient Chinese application of natural forces to textile machinery, such as the spinning machinery with water power as the driving force, China is more than four centuries earlier than the West.

The materials used for coloring in ancient China can be divided into mineral pigments and vegetable dyes, of which the latter is the main dye in ancient times.

Mineral pigment coloring is made by adhesive to adhere to the surface of the fabric, but the color is easy to fall off when exposed to water.

Vegetable dyes are different, when dyeing, the pigment molecules are changed by affinity with the fabric fibers, and the color is not easy to fall off or rarely falls off although it is washed by the sun.

There are countless mineral plant dyes commonly used in ancient times, and the dyeing processes created by the ancients according to different dye characteristics are: direct dyeing, mordant dyeing, vat dyeing, anti-dyeing, color dyeing, etc.

The diversity of dye varieties and process methods makes the color spectrum of the ancient printing and dyeing industry very rich, and there are hundreds of kinds of records in ancient books.

In particular, the unambiguous separation of dozens of similar colors in a hue requires a skillful grasp of the combination of various dyes, formulations and changing process conditions.

Wei Bao is divided into cotton spinning processing, hemp spinning and wool spinning according to the processing materials, and also discussed chemical fiber with Deng Erxian.

Through the development of the sealing ring, Deng Erxian already has a certain concept of chemical fiber.

According to the weaving method, it is divided into knitting machine weaving non-woven.

Chemical processing exists in each process, but the chemical fiber industry and dyeing and finishing industry are the most common chemical processing.

In the second half of the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution first began in the textile industry in Western Europe, and machines initially freed workers' hands from processing operations, preparing the conditions for the use of power-driven centralized large-scale industrial production methods.

In the 18th century, the capitalist mode of production in Europe was gradually established, and trade developed greatly. The occupation of the colonies provided a vast raw material base and sales market.

A series of improvements to the working parts of the hand-woven machine made it possible to use a variety of natural forces instead of human-driven centralized production.

In the 70~80s of the 18th century, water power was widely used in Europe to drive cotton spinning machines.

By the end of the 18th century, textile mills began to utilize steam engines.

Since then, cottage industry production has been gradually replaced by centralized large-scale factory production.

The great industrialization of textile production, in turn, has promoted more innovation and creation of textile machines.

In terms of weaving, since the advent of the power loom in 1785, an automatic weaving device was made in 1895 and an automatic shuttle changing device in 1926, and the loom was further automated.

But the weft insertion still uses a shuttle. In order to introduce a very light section of weft, it is a great waste of energy to make a shuttle weighing hundreds to kilograms fly back and forth quickly.

In the first half of the 20th century, projectile looms without tubes, rapier looms inserted into the weft with slender rods, and jet looms with water and air jet methods were introduced, which made it possible to fundamentally eliminate the shuttle, thereby eliminating the weft winding process, and at the same time greatly increasing the speed of the loom and reducing noise.

However, beating the weft is still unavoidable, and it still needs to be manually operated by workers.

Therefore, the loom is still reciprocating, and the limits of noise and speed cannot be broken.

Textile mills are still labor-intensive.

Wei Bao shows you a 20-to-1, large-scale projectile loom.

This kind of large-scale equipment is not physically available on the Zhenyuan ship.

But Wei Bao is sure that the technology now mastered by the Military Industry Agency has been able to turn this large projectile loom into a physical entity and use it with a steam engine.

Huang Ying looked at the model of the large projectile loom and asked Wei Bao beside him: "Son, where have you been these days?" ”

"Mother, I didn't go anywhere, I went around Weijiazhuang." Wei Bao laughed.

"Xiaobao, what kind of weaving factory and dyeing factory, do you really need one or two thousand people?" Wei Dakang is not interested in where Wei Bao goes, but is very interested in factory recruitment.

"You don't need so many people, try it on a small scale first, one or two hundred people is about the same, there are many people coming, but you still have to be assessed." Wei Bao replied with a smile: "The standard of factory employment must be slightly higher than that of your Industrial Bureau. Factory workers also depend on their actual work ability. ”

In fact, the scale of Wei Bao's heart is a medium-sized factory with three or four hundred people, but he recruits people like to be compact, like not enough state, and then recruit people, it will appear that the business is good, and people with a little experience, driving the later people, can also make the development of the enterprise healthier, more rapid, and form a virtuous circle.

When he came up, he got a lot of people, and the situation of the three monks having no water to drink was what Wei Bao hated the most.

Vedacon sighed, "That's pretty and pretty! It's almost ten people, and only one person is hired? ”

Wei Bao smiled and hummed: "Dad, what's wrong?" Do you want to be a factory manager? ”

"That's not it, I get dizzy when I see these machines, I can't be a factory director, I'm thinking, immediately a bunch of people from the original Weijiazhuang local four miles will have to entrust people to me to entrust the relationship." Wei Dakang smiled proudly.

Now he has fully adapted to being a big landlord, or a super big landlord.

Or the identity of the father of a super big landowner.

"What's the matter with you? Xiaobao recruits people below, and he has always had to take exams, and those who can't do it are useless to trust the relationship, they all rely on their own skills, isn't it, Xiaobao? Huang Ying looked at Wei Bao flatteringly.

Wei Bao nodded with a smile and gave Huang Ying a thumbs up: "It's still a mother's concept!" ”

Huang Ying looked at Wei Dakang proudly.

Wei Dakang looked unconvinced, but he didn't say anything.

Huang Ying whispered in Wei Bao's ear: "Xiaobao, I heard that you still let people make wine, and I heard that you want to get a winery?" ”

"Well, I asked Song Yingxing to do it a few days ago, and I'll go over to see it later, what's wrong?" Wei Bao asked with a smile.

"The winery should all want men, right? Originally, there were many men from women's families who had a good relationship with their mothers, and they hated the hard work of the farm and wanted to enter the factory, can you give your mother a few indicators and let some people enter the winery? Huang Ying looked at Wei Bao expectantly.

"Hey, what did you just say about me?" Wei Dakang was immediately unhappy when he heard this, "I want to get a few women into the textile factory, but you are not happy." Now you want to get some men into the winery? ”

"What does it have to do with you whether other women enter the factory or not? Is it your turn? I'm all the men of the old sisters' family, why can't I ask? Huang Ying's voice raised a little.

Wei Bao sweated, and hurriedly said softly: "Pay attention to the impact!" ”

When Huang Ying and Wei Dakang heard this, they immediately shut up and didn't dare to make a mistake.

Now Wei Bao not only has a supreme position in Weijiazhuang, but also Huang Ying and Wei Dakang, who are not only Wei Bao's father and mother, but also Wei Bao's 'subjects'.

"You'd better not get involved in these things, lest people say it's unfair. If you really can't save face, you can get a few people in. However, you check for yourself first to see what is suitable for you, you are really lazy and stupid, and you will be kicked out if you come in. What do you think is suitable for the logistics of the factory, weigh it yourself, and then go to the relevant people, this kind of thing, try to do as little as possible, ten indicators per person per year. When I go back, I will ask Wang Qiuya to open ten blank president's letterheads for each of you and stamp them with my seal. Wei Bao laughed.

Although he is disgusted with such things as going through the back door, he knows Chinese characteristics, these things can never be banned, since they can't be banned, it is better to channel them within the scope. My own parents arrange 20 people every year, which is not a big deal.

Huang Ying and Wei Dakang were very satisfied with what Wei Bao said, knowing that being a worker was easier than being a construction or a farmer, and the salary was also higher, and they felt that they could help people with friendships, which was very face-saving.

"Uncle, aunt, what do you say? So happy? Fan Xiaolin, who was beaming with joy, came over at this time, holding the hands of Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui beside Wei Bao, and smiled at Huang Ying and Wei Dakang.

"Talking about Xiaobao's winery, Xiaolin, why are you so happy?" Huang Ying smiled.

"Don't I do this every day? Now no one is looking for trouble, and the people in Weijiazhuang basically have work to do and food, of course I am happy. Fan Xiaolin replied with a smile.

Fan Lao Pimple and his wife stood behind Wei Dakang, looking at their daughter lovingly, secretly thinking that your position was about to be squeezed out by Wang Qiuya, and you are so stupid, what a stupid girl.

"Here we are preparing to set up a textile factory and a dyeing factory, and we are running a winery over there, Childe, is this group of more than 1,000 people who have just come out of the literacy class enough?" Fan Xiaolin asked Wei Bao.

Wei Bao said: "Yes, we have enough manpower now." ”

"I was about to ask about the winery, we have enough food to eat ourselves, but when we collect food from those rich households, don't we say that we want to help the victims? Aren't we going to do it? Fan Xiaolin said.

"Haven't you already given money? Tens of thousands of people were brought in, and these people didn't want to eat? If all of them are taken out, where will this grain be enough for 40,000 or 50,000 people in Yongping Mansion? Wei Bao said gloomily.

"Then should we open a grain business in Yongping Mansion and Shanhaiguan? Stabilizing local food prices? Fan Xiaolin asked again.

Wei Bao looked up at the sky at an eighty-eight degree angle and said softly: "There are so many hungry people in the world, I can't control it." We don't touch the grain trading, we can only mix it internally, and the extra grain will be used to store it as a spare grain, and if it comes out, it will be taken out to make wine. ”

Fan Xiaolin sighed softly, although she was a little disappointed, she originally thought that Gongzi was really righteous and Bo Yuntian, and wanted to save the victims of the entire Liaoxi from fleeing from famine and starvation, but it turned out that this was not the case? However, she doesn't think that there is any big problem with Gongzi doing this, Weijiazhuang's strength is limited, and it is not affirmed in Liaoxi, why does our family bear the responsibility of so many people?

Huang Ying, Wei Dakang and others were very happy when they heard Wei Bao say this.

"Xiaobao is right, eat behind closed doors, let's eat ourselves first, and then if we have the spare energy, we will give a little bit to go out, which is already very good." Fan Lao pimple said.

"The key is that our grain is not very abundant, 180 tens of thousands of stone grain, which is enough for two or three years of local use, and we have to look forward to the grain sown now, and when it comes to the summer harvest and autumn harvest, we can have a good harvest, otherwise we will have to be sad. After all, we now have more than 20,000 people. Wang Zhihui also agreed.

"It's not that you don't care about the price of grain in Liaoxi forever, but you can't manage it for the time being! After the autumn harvest, to ensure that our grain is worry-free, we will open a grain business in Yongping Mansion and Shanhaiguan. It is not easy for grain from other places to enter western Liaoning. Wei Bao said: "During this time, I mainly want to have a population replacement, we have absorbed so many people in at once, and those big families have no one to plant their fields, so they must give up their wealth to recruit people from other places to work!" At that time, the population of this part of western Liaoning will further increase, and there will be a market. ”

"It's still thoughtful Xiaobao, so wow." Fan Lao pimple hurriedly raised his thumb and praised.

Wang Zhihui, Fan Lao's pimple's wife, Wang Zhihui's wife and others also hurriedly praised Wei Bao's active brain.

Wei Bao had no intention of chatting with a few elders, and said to Wei Dakang: "Dad, you are planning a large area of vineyards on the edge of the ranch on the periphery of Warship Bay, and you want to plant a large area. The distillery will not only have a distillery, but also a brewery and a winery. ”

"That's no problem, our Bohai Sea is very suitable for growing grapes, any grape can be planted, grapes can't be eaten as food, otherwise we used to be able to eat raisins just by eating them." Vedakon agreed.

"Xiaobao, don't worry, we are the most suitable place to grow grapes, harvest as much as you want! How big is it? Fan Lao Pimple asked.

"Let's get 500 acres of land first, your Agricultural Bureau has to plant trees, open up wasteland, and grab seeds, which is also busy. Well, it's all gone. Wei Bao said.

When several people saw Wei Bao rushing people, they knew that Wei Bao was in a hurry, so they dispersed.

In fact, several of them have long since left their jobs and become stewards, so why do they have to work in person?

Agricultural officials are the most easy to do, in this era are all good at farming, assign tasks, negotiate the price of the field, contract out, whoever grows, calculate the price, just do it.

They are just moving their mouths, but they are actually very idle every day.

In the past, there was nothing to be idle, but now they are all 'officials', and they feel a little more leisurely, and they will feel embarrassed when they are discovered by Wei Bao.

Because Wei Bao was out of Warship Bay, he talked about the winery just now, so he wanted to see how Song Yingxing and his people were doing.

Because of his erudition, Wei Bao asked Song Yingxing to do everything, a bit like Luo San's assistant.

But Wei Bao found that Song Yingxing was not a scientist, he knew a little bit of everything, but he was not good at a certain item, at least at this stage, Song Yingxing, who was still obsessed with scientific research, was definitely not a scientist.

"Childe, where are you going?" Fan Xiaolin asked.

"Go to the distillery and see, what's wrong?" Wei Bao looked at Fan Xiaolin in surprise: "Are you done?" ”

"Where do I get my daily work done? However, when something comes to me, my assistant will come and tell me. Fan Xiaolin smiled: "Someone has come to find Gongzi." ”

Wei Bao was stunned, and the first thought that came to mind was that Zhao Jinfeng was here, "Where is it?" ”

"Shouldn't Childe first ask who is looking for Childe?" Fan Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Who?"

"Sister Fang, she said that she wanted to go to Yongping Mansion to do business, so she came to us for a turn. Although she said that she was coming to me and Qiuya and Rui'er, I knew as soon as I heard that she wanted to see her son, and she was in the living room of the State Guest House. ”

Wei Bao is now in the State Guest House, and only then did he know that Sister Fang was close at hand.

Although he was slightly disappointed, it was not Zhao Jinfeng who came, but he also had a good impression of Sister Fang, Sister Fang was plump and moving, she was also beautiful, and she had helped herself.

"Let's go, let's see." Wei Bao said neatly and walked to the living room of the State Guest House. Now I realize that I haven't been to Shanhaiguan for a while, and I'm afraid I haven't seen Sister Fang for more than a month.

Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui also followed.

Sister Fang stood next to the wall of the large living room of the State Guest House, admiring the ink paintings on the wall, which were painted by Xu Rui, painting the scenery everywhere before Weijiazhuang was developed.

This was all requested by Wei Bao, and Wei Bao saw that Xu Rui liked to paint, so he asked her to record all the changes in Weijiazhuang in a realistic painting method.

Although there are mobile phones that can take pictures, there are also scanners on warships that can be printed out of colored paper.

But after all, it is beyond the technology of this era, it is difficult to explain, and it will be scary to come up with such a painting.

"Sister Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Wei Bao took the lead in greeting sincerely.

Sister Fang twisted her slender waist, turned her plump and moving body, her face was red, but she looked at Wei Bao generously, and said with a smile: "I have grown a little taller, and I am a little stronger." ”

Wei Bao smiled: "You are not a little older than me, you don't have to use this tone of many years different every time, right?" ”

"But you're not as tall as I am, and you're not as old as me." Sister Fang proudly clasped her arms with her hands: "On a big day, it has to be a sister, and the elders and young are respectful and orderly." ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded: "Hello sister." ”

"I want to congratulate our Wei Gongzi, who won Wu Sangui and won a lot of silver, right? Also, Wei Gongzi was admitted to Xiucai, and I never had a chance to congratulate him. Sister Fang said with a smile.

"Isn't this all commonplace? I won Wu Sangui, but I didn't get any silver, and I returned it to those big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and the gold and silver of the Wu family and the ancestral family were also returned. Wei Bao's tone was tight.

"Hmph, you're still pretending with me." Sister Fang looked at Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui, and said nothing more.

Wei Bao's heart bulged, and he immediately understood that Sister Fang knew everything, and secretly thought that there was no impermeable wall in this world, so many big family owners, and suffered such a big loss, they must say it at ordinary times, where can they really be kept secret? I just hope that no one will go to Beijing to report to Tu Wenfu and other big eunuchs.

Wei Bao thought that those big families should not report it, in that case, it would be tantamount to lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot. reported him, he didn't know if he would break the net, make waves again, and attract a bunch of big eunuchs, and then these big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong would not be able to please him.

"I made a little bit of silver, but it wasn't enough." Wei Bao blushed in defense.

Sister Fang sneered: "I don't mean anything else, I shouldn't mention this stubble, Wei Gongzi did a very beautiful job, he not only won the competition, but also earned silver, and he also knew that he would leave half a way out for the other party, and everyone would not fight for their lives when they met in the future." ”

"It's okay." Wei Bao smiled: "Since Sister Fang is here in our poor country, this trip will play for a few more days before leaving, and let Xiaolin accompany you around." ”

"Yes, Sister Fang, we all miss you." Fan Xiaolin heard her son call her, and knew that it was time to speak by herself, so she went over affectionately and held Sister Fang'er's arm.

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya also greeted Sister Fang warmly.

Although the three daughters are a little wary of Sister Fang'er and worried about another 'opponent', no one wants to appear petty in terms of face.

They are all very good at being people.

"I can't compare to the good fortune of Wei Gongzi, we do a small business, and we are busy every day, where is there so much leisure." Sister Fang said with a smile: "I went to the Wu family's wine shop in Yongping Mansion to see the wine, we want a large amount of wine, I have to go on my own every month, I am afraid that there is a problem with the wine they give." ”

Wei Bao sighed, only then did he know that the Wu family's hands were so wide that they even monopolized wine? "Well, I'm going to visit my winery, will you come with me? Give us pointers, too. ”

"Okay." Sister Fang smiled: "I happened to have a long experience, but I didn't expect Weijiazhuang to start making its own wine?" Also, Wei Gongzi got so much food, and now there are so many people in Weijiazhuang, everything should be made by himself, and they all go to the outside world to buy it, which is very troublesome. ”

"Great, let's go, I haven't been to our winery yet." Fan Xiaolin is an enthusiastic and unrestrained personality, and when she heard the words, she pulled Sister Fang away.

Although Wei Bao's winery is known as a winery, compared to the Wu family's workshop, it is not even one-tenth of the others.

In ancient times, grain was big business, and wine was big business.

The Wu family actually does all kinds of business.

Song Yingxing was discussing things with a few masters who knew how to make wine, and when he saw Gongzi coming, he also brought a few girls who were like flowers and jade, so he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and rushed over to greet him: "Gongzi Wei." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "You are busy with yours, don't worry about us, let's take a look." ”

"I'm not busy, I'm waiting for this pot to start." Song Yingxing said: "The son came just in time, and he was able to drink the first pot of wine from the Wei family distillery. ”

Wei Bao sighed, "Do you have any name for our wine?" ”

Wei Bao actually asked this on purpose, he knew that what Song Yingxing made was actually the four special wine from their hometown.

Four special liquor is a famous liquor in Jiangxi, the process of four special liquor has been leading the Chinese wine civilization, there is a "four special soil burning" process in the Tang Dynasty, and Song Yingxing, a great scientist in Jiangxi in the Ming Dynasty, will also write the process of four special soil burning into the "Heavenly Creation".

An article "Qu Tiler" influenced the standardized brewing and large-scale brewing of Chinese baijiu in the future.

Before Wei Bao set up a winery, he had read some manuscripts of Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations", and only then did he think of asking Song Yingxing to take the lead in running the winery.

The 5,000-year-old history of Si Tejiu has absorbed the essence of Chinese civilization and confirmed every footprint of the development of Chinese wine civilization.

Site Liquor has always stood in the forest of famous wines with the attitude of "the wine of the royal road".

After the Western Zhou Dynasty, Site formed an indissoluble bond with the literati and inkmen.

In history, I don't know how many literati and writers drank and wrote poems on the land of Jiangxi, leaving behind masterpieces.

Among them, the most famous is Bai Juyi's invitation to Liu Shijiu when he was appointed as Sima of Jiangzhou, "Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove." If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? ”

and the direct praise of Lu You in the Song Dynasty, "Famous wine comes to Qingjiang, and the tender color is like a new goose." ”

Bright as a diamond, transparent as crystal, fragrant and charming, soft and mellow without miscellaneous taste, nourishing the body and refreshing Ganoderma lucidum, these four characteristics have lit up the name of the four special wines.

"It's called Wei's Bar?" Song Yingxing said with a smile: "The name is not important, the key is that the wine is good, if there are more people who drink it and have a good reputation, you can become famous." ”

"No, it's still called Si Tejiu, and the place of origin is indicated on the package as Jiangxi, and we are just Weijiazhuang Si Tejiu." Wei Bao said: "We must respect culture and history. It's intellectual property! ”

Song Yingxing has heard Wei Gongzi say the term intellectual property many times, and agrees with Wei Gongzi's idea.

In this era, there is no such concept, the competition steals the teacher, and stealing is the level.

Although Song Yingxing did not enter Wei Bao's inner circle and was still only a guest, the relationship between the two was very good.

After Wei Bao waited for Song Yingxing to hit a wall in the scientific expedition, he tried to keep Song Yingxing by his side, let him take his family over, and then let him enter the inner circle of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Song Yingxing is still full of confidence in Zhongjinshi.

"The color and fragrance are very good, I don't know how it tastes?" Sister Fang praised: "However, looking at this color and smelling this taste, it should be much stronger than the wine produced by the Wu family's winery." ”

"That's right, we are pure grain brewing, after more than 50 processes, don't look at it here for the time being, it's still very simple, but there is no sloppiness at all." Song Yingxing replied: "Miss seems to be a person who understands wine, so you can taste it now." ”

Sister Fang tapped a little with her little finger, put it in her mouth, and smashed it: "Well, the wine just came out is mellow and soft, it's not easy, it's a good wine!" ”

"What? Is Sister Fang interested in our wine? Do you want to pull some back and sell them too? Wei Bao laughed.

Sister Fang'er's beautiful eyes rolled: "Wei Gongzi has spoken, isn't this a trivial matter?" Just don't know the price. ”

"It's the same as the Wu family, our wine is of better quality than theirs, and the price doesn't exceed theirs, how about it? I don't spoil the market! Wei Bao said with confidence.

"Are you really? You guys are such a small workshop, you can't drink enough by yourself, right? Sister Fang changed her tone again.

Wei Bao saw that Sister Fang didn't take what she just said seriously, so she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but she didn't show it, just smiled and didn't take the topic again.

"Do you really want to sell the wine to Weijiazhuang? Wine is no better than others, only people with silver can afford to drink it, don't think about this piece of Liaoxi and Liaodong. Sister Fang saw that Wei Bao was a little unhappy, but still reminded.

"I understand what you mean, I offended the ancestral Wu family, as well as all the Liaodong scholar class in Liaoxi! Wine is a high-end commodity, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people, so you will think that I can't sell it. Wei Bao smiled: "Don't take it to heart, I'm joking with you, I didn't force you Shanhailou to buy our wine." ”

Sister Fang snorted, and also felt a little awkward, so she didn't continue the topic.

It's not that she doesn't want to use Wei Bao's wine, with the business volume of Shanhailou, and the quality of Wei Bao's wine is obviously higher than that of the Wu family's wine, there must be no problem, but in that case, their Shanhailou will be involved in the rights and wrongs between Wei Bao and the big households in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and her father will definitely not agree.

Although Wei Bao did not ask for a specific amount of output, he only asked to make the best use of it and not to waste food.

In fact, if you don't make wine, Weijiazhuang's food will not be wasted, more than 20,000 people, the consumption is very large, not to mention that there is now its own pasture, breeding farm, no matter how much grain can be stored and digested.

"Get a batch of wine, seal it in a glass bottle, and in two days Fan will go to Beijing and let him take it to give it away." Wei Bao instructed: "Also, we will also store a batch of our own as a souvenir." ”

"It's the rule, I know it. If it's bottled in glass, it's high-end. Song Yingxing said.

"Do you want to put it in a glass bottle? The cost is too high, right? Fan Xiaolin asked puzzled.

Wei Bao knew what Fan Xiaolin meant, although Weijiazhuang can produce glass, but the product and quality have not improved much, it was originally a little glass specially made for kerosene lamps, and now it is necessary to make window glass, Fan Xiaolin feels that it is too wasteful to use it to hold wine.

"It's okay, it can be recycled, and our glass production can go up. Also, where is the cost? In addition to labor, there is basically no cost. Wei Bao laughed.

"But there is no outside world, only our Weijiazhuang has the ability to make glass, if this wine is packed in a glass bottle, how much silver will it have to sell?" Fan Xiaolin asked: "If it is expensive, no one is willing to buy it." If it is sold cheaply, will it seem that our glass is worthless? ”

"Then agree on a price that is not expensive or cheap, and besides, our four special wines are originally taking the high-end route." Wei Bao replied with a smile.

Fan Xiaolin sighed, and knew in her heart: "How to seal the glass bottle?" Is it the same as a jar? ”

"Don't bother, you don't have to worry about it, I'll make it special. The thin iron sheet at the mouth of the bottle is added with a thin rubber pad sealed, and then stamped, and it will not run out of gas for a long time. Wei Bao replied.

Fan Xiaolin, Song Yingxing and the others nodded ignorantly when they heard this, since Gongzi said that he would do it, there was no need to ask.

"How's the beer and wine I let you get?" Wei Bao asked Song Yingxing.

"According to the recipe given by Childe, the beer has been made." Song Yingxing replied: "It's easier to make beer than liquor. The grapes are not yet in season, but the preparations have already begun and there are no problems. ”

Wei Bao nodded, and went back to check out the beer and wine workshop.

Beer is the oldest alcoholic beverage of mankind and is the third most consumed beverage in the world after water and tea.

Beer was introduced to China in the early 20th century and is a foreign liquor.

The reason why Wei Bao wants to make beer is that the production cycle is short, the consumption is large, and it is more suitable for local digestion.

Beer is a low-alcohol liquor full of carbon dioxide made from barley malt, hops, and water as the main raw materials, and fermented by yeast.

The harvest date is based on the ripeness of the grape seeds. The acidity of the grape decreases as it matures, while maintaining its increase in sugar and tannins. The right balance of acidity and alcohol reflects the character of the wine, and before picking the grapes that are fully ripe, one runs the risk of getting good quality and rotting the grapes in bad weather. When you want to control the quality of the harvest, or for a special vinification result, you need to pick the grapes by hand.

In order to increase the sugar content of the grapes themselves, they are sometimes dried, which reduces their alcohol content but increases their shelf life.

In general, red wine is made in a similar way to white wine, except that the skin, pulp and pit are fermented together.

The continuous fermentation lasts from a few days to three weeks, resulting in the wine, its aromas and its deep red colour.

The skins are separated and the fermentation continues in the vats. The wine matures in oak barrels and vats until bottling.

"Childe, this is our new beer, look at it, is it this kind of taste, I drink weird." Song Yingxing scooped a spoonful from a large vat and handed it to Wei Bao: "There is no problem with drinking, we have already tried it yesterday, and we won't have diarrhea." ”

Wei Bao felt a little funny, how many kinds of wine can you have diarrhea after drinking? You are not poisoned.

Wei Bao took a small sip and pursed his lips, it was bitter and astringent, it was indeed a little unpleasant, but it was not unacceptable.

"Not yet, it should have a sweet taste, and it needs to be improved." Wei Bao Road.

"Childe, is it really necessary to make this kind of wine? People here don't drink rice wine very much. Song Yingxing was suspicious.

"It's not rice wine, it's too different from the production process of rice wine, right? It's called beer. Wei Bao said: "You haven't gotten used to drinking yet, in fact, ordinary beer is more suitable for ordinary people than liquor." This kind of wine, even if you don't have food, you can drink a bottle, it's very good to quench your thirst, you can go to a high-end banquet, and you can also drink it on the roadside. The price of bulk is only one or two percent of that of liquor. ”

Wei Bao asked people to make beer, not to satisfy his own needs, although he also drank a little alcohol, but he did not have an alcohol addiction, he did not drink all year round, and he did not necessarily think of drinking it.

However, it has not been long since I came to this era, and I am almost catching up with the total amount of alcohol drunk in modern times.

The main purpose of making beer is to establish consumption habits, after all, in the future of the alcohol pattern, beer and red wine can be three-legged with liquor. In addition, Wei Bao also allows ordinary people to taste the taste of wine.

For example, the people of Weijiazhuang must live better than the outside world, but they are still working hard in the direction of food and clothing, how many people can drink liquor? After having beer, isn't it enjoyable to drink a bottle every once in a while?

"Understood." Song Yingxing nodded.

"The taste is one, and the shelf life should be long, at least five or six months without being bad, and in the case of sealing, the shelf life of half a year." Wei Bao further instructed.

"Got it, Childe." Song Yingxing nodded.

Sister Fang, Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya, Xu Rui and others couldn't help but taste this kind of wine that they had never seen before, and the bubbles kept rising.

"It's okay, it's not hard to drink, it's just a little bitter." Fan Xiaolin said.

"Well, it's a little bit." Wei Bao said: "It's almost the same as solving the taste problem. ”

Sister Fang looked at Wei Bao strangely, she couldn't understand how Wei Bao came up with so many tricks? She asked herself if she had seen and heard well, although she was not very old, but Shanhaiguan was a guest who traveled south and north every day, and she could be sure that Daming would never have such wine.

"In the initial stage, you must be prepared to do big in the future, I want the output of liquor can reach tens of millions of catties, beer can reach hundreds of millions of catties, and red wine can also reach tens of millions of catties." Wei Bao reminded.

"Tens of millions of pounds?" Sister Fang, who was beside Wei Bao, was startled and took off. She originally thought that Wei Bao was just supplying local needs, but looking at it this way, Wei Bao obviously had a need to sell to the outside world. Who will sell such a large amount to?
