Chapter 41 Winemaking utensils

"Distilled spirits... In the "Distilled Spirits" secret room, Jiang De kept flipping through the system, looking at the equipment that could make distilled spirits on a large scale.

"Well, that's it. 100 points a set, 7.5 hours a pot, a pot is 1 and a half tons, even if there are three shifts on this day, then it is four and a half tons, I don't know what the degree of ordinary wine at this time is, then again, it's time to prepare to make your own wine. With a wave of Jiang De's hand, several huge barrels and several pipes of wine steaming utensils appeared.

Jiang De knocked and lifted it again, and found that he couldn't lift it at all, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "This thing is good steel, in fact, I should be able to make a lot of money in the steel business... Even the government will probably insist on chasing and killing me for a hundred years. ”

This wine steaming utensils are all 304 stainless steel from later generations, which is the common food-grade stainless steel in later generations, and the system is produced, and the quality is naturally top-notch. After exchanging the utensils, Jiang De began to prepare to exchange for koji again.

Koji, also known as sake kei, is the most important thing in sake brewing and is called sake bones. In fact, grain brewing is divided into two categories, one is to use the enzymes produced when the grain sprouts to saccharify the raw material itself into sugar, and then use yeast to convert the sugar into alcohol; The other is to make koji from moldy grains, and use the enzymes contained in the koji to saccharify and ferment the grain raw materials into liquor. Most Chinese liquor is fermented using the latter type of koji, so there is often a big koji or a small koji in the name of Chinese liquor.

The Song Dynasty's monopoly on liquor, in addition to restricting the people who sell liquor, is actually to control the koji, the Song Dynasty did not allow private buying and selling koji, so that people who want to make wine must go to the government to buy koji, before they can make liquor, and the government will also calculate how much liquor can be brewed from the koji purchased by the merchant to see if the merchant has the possibility of stealing liquor.

"Ahh These are just some microorganisms and enzymes secreted, how can they be so expensive! Jiang De looked at the koji in the system and almost screamed.

"System, system, are you mistaken? A pack of a pound of koji costs 50 points? This is still ordinary koji, what kind of Moutai koji do you want me to give me 300 points for a pound? You really don't want money when I have points! Jiang De looked at this score and almost wanted to spit it out, this catty of koji can only produce 100 kilograms of liquor, so calculated, the ordinary koji will cost five pounds of copper coins, and the best one will cost thirty pounds of copper coins, which is not low.

And Jiang De really knows the price of koji in later generations, several mothers in his family like to make some rice wine or something by themselves when they have nothing to do, and a pack of koji in later generations is only twenty or thirty yuan, and the equipment for steaming wine costs tens of thousands of yuan, so if you calculate it, you can understand how expensive this koji is.

"There is no fault in the system, the koji is a microorganism, it belongs to the third-level prohibited items, and it is normal for the price to be more expensive, haven't you noticed that you can't see the seeds of those grains until now? Those things are more expensive! As if mocking, the system said, "Actually, it's mainly the host, you're too poor." ”

The corners of Jiang De's mouth were crooked, of course he knew that those grain seeds belonged to the first-class embargoed items, and the price was also sky-high, but he didn't expect that the koji would also be an embargoed item, in fact, it was an embargo, but the price would increase many times, it was interesting to say, most of those interstellar weapons were not banned, but these grain seeds were embargoed, Jiang De also asked his father Jiang Cheng why, and the answer he got was very simple, agriculture is developed is the foundation of all development, and only when agriculture is developed will there be a surplus population to engage in industry and tertiary industryThe basis of the great development of later generations is the continuous revolution of agricultural science and technology.

Jiang De thought about it, gritted his teeth and exchanged for three hundred packs of ordinary koji, fifty packs of Moutai and other high-grade koji, and this time he removed 30,000 points, watching the number of points drop like crazy, Jiang Dezhen felt that his heart couldn't stand it, and he could only keep reminding himself that it would all come back.

"After the redemption, there are forty-three thousand six hundred and forty-one points left."

Three hundred and fifty packs of koji were piled up, Jiang Dechang let out a long breath, and finally all the preparations were completed, and he walked out of the secret room, outside Wang Ming was drinking tea and was waiting patiently, seeing the door open, Wang Ming hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Xiao Langjun, how is it?" ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Everything is ready, come in and take a look." Saying that, he got out of the way, Wang Ming and Jiang De walked in, and saw the huge steel tools and bags of materials piled up I don't know what they were, Wang Ming sighed, "Xiao Langjun's immortal skills are really breathtaking every time I look at it, this steel giant is probably a fairy in the sky, right?" ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "This is not an immortal thing, but the steel used in this appliance is indeed not something that can be produced by people now... The koji over there is something to be used for winemaking, and the government's koji is expensive, and the key quality is not good, so I got these koji, a total of three hundred and fifty packs, a pack of about seven or eight taels, you can make a stone of wine, this is three hundred and fifty stones, it should be enough for us to use the first batch, this thing is very expensive, be sure to keep it carefully, and you can't let outsiders know that this is koji, after all, private koji is a strictly forbidden thing. ”

Wang Ming nodded solemnly and said, "I know the power of the koji, please rest assured, Xiao Langjun." ”

The Song Dynasty's blow to private music and moonshine is almost the same as the blow to the factor flower in later generations, the historical records of the Song Dynasty record that the French brewer sat to death with more than three stones, that is, the person who brewed 300 kilograms of moonshine wine would be beheaded, and Jiang De was ready to brew hundreds of stones, which was almost a full house of beheading, of course, after the opening of Jiang De Restaurant, buy the official koji and indicators, you can legally produce wine.

Jiang De believed that Wang Ming, who was a real Song man, understood the power of this better than himself, so he continued, "We now have all the equipment, and now we need to prepare a place for brewing and steaming wine, especially a place for steaming wine, so we need to prepare quickly. In addition, I will choose a master who makes sake and steamed sake, and these people must choose reliable ones, this is not soybean oil, and I am not going to pass on this technique. ”

Wang Ming hummed and said, "I understand, this best thing is still in our own hands, now the business of the IKEA oil mill is getting better and better, many people in the village want to come to work, I think you can choose some people to do this, as for the place where the wine is steamed, it is a cool and dry place to make wine, and there is an emergency place, which is the cellar in the village, but if you do more in the future, the existing cellar in the village can not be placed." ”
