Chapter Eighty-Five: Brewing (Seeking Collections and Recommendations)

Over there in Tiejiabao.

At this moment, Shi Wen and Iron Horse were glaring at each other.

It's not because the two have any contradictions, but at the beginning of the business, both of them realized a problem at the same time: there is no wine now, and how should wine be made?

Now the most common wine on the market is rice wine and some fruit wine, rice wine is naturally made from grain, and fruit wine must be made from a variety of fruits, there are many types of fruit wine, such as mulberry wine, plum wine, apricot wine, hawthorn wine, and peach blossom wine, but wine? It seems that I only hear its name, but I don't hear its brewing method.

Then it's embarrassing.

"Is this wine the same way as other fruit wines?" Iron Horse asked.

"It should be different." Shi Wen said weakly.

"Otherwise, Xiaoshi, will you buy some grapes and go back?"

Shi Wen was a little speechless, although these grapes are indeed delicious, but he is a wine seller, could he change his career to sell fruits?

"Little rock." Tie Ma said earnestly: "We all know that wine is a thing, it is not a matter of one or two days to brew it, even if it is brewed now, it will take at least a few months, so you get some grapes and sell them back, sell them first, of course, we will also prepare for winemaking, and when the wine is brewed, you will come and transport it, how about it?" ”

Shi Wen really didn't want to sell grapes, but he had to think that if he didn't do anything this time, he would probably hurt Tiejiabao, and after a few months, when the wine was really brewed, would Tiejiabao still sell him the wine?

Shi Wen didn't dare to guarantee it, so in the last thought, sell grapes, sell grapes, although grapes are not as precious as wine, but they are also a rare fruit, and there should be no worries that no one will buy them.

"Okay, then I'll ship some grapes back, Tie Lizheng, what about the price of these grapes?"

The iron horse had already received the signal from the dragon king, and immediately said: "This grape is not sold for money, only for things." ”

"What is Tetsuri trying to change?"

"Except for money, everything else is fine, especially livestock and farm tools, does the stone shopkeeper have a way in this regard?"

When Shi Wen heard this, he immediately bared his teeth, good guy, as soon as he sells wine, he will change to selling grapes in the future, and now he has to help Tiejiabao get livestock and farm tools? Shi Wen felt that he had gone further and further on the path of a wine merchant.

Shi Wen still agreed: "Yes, but what should I do this time?" ”

"The stone shopkeeper is so atmospheric, we can't be stingy in Tiejiabao, so let's pick a few baskets of grapes first, and wait for the next time the stone shopkeeper comes over, and transport the things we want together, so what does the stone shopkeeper think?"

"Okay." Shi Wen wished that this was the case, otherwise he would have to return empty-handed this time, so he could get something to go back.

At that moment, the iron horse commanded the people to pick the grapes, picking them in bunches, and putting them in wooden barrels, in which a thick layer of green leaves was placed, then a layer of grapes, and then another layer of leaves, and so on, and each barrel did not dare to put too much, for fear of crushing the grapes.

In the end, there were only four barrels of grapes on the carriage, which was about 200 catties.

Iron Horse is very generous, in Shi Wen's walk, Iron Horse told Shi Wen that these grapes let him sell them casually, and let Shi Wen set his own price, as long as he can sell them, he can come to Tiejiabao at any time to transport them after they are sold.

Sending Shi Wen away, turning around, Iron Horse found the Dragon King and told the Dragon King the details of his deal with Shi Wen: "Dragon King, it's okay to say this, right?" ”

Liu Dalu nodded and said that there was no problem, because for him, these grapes were originally to expand the influence of the Dragon King, and the price did not matter at all, as long as those who had eaten grapes could know Qingping County and the Dragon King, they would be earned.

And don't look at the grapes just planted this year, but according to his estimates, this year's grapes will definitely have a bumper harvest, more than 100,000 catties, so many grapes, if you don't send some out, are you waiting for them to spoil.

Iron Horse asked again, "Dragon King, what about this wine, and how should it be made?" ”

Iron Horse asked the wrong person this time, although Liu Dalu had drunk wine, he really didn't pay attention to how to make wine, he wouldn't use creation because of this.

"Just make it the same way you usually make fruit wine."

"Dragon King, there are many ways to make fruit wine, which one does Dragon King want to use?" Iron Horse asked in a whisper.

"Well, try either one and see which one can be made, anyway, there are so many grapes, don't be afraid to waste them."

"Okay, I'll have someone try it then."

............

There are a lot of people in Tiejiabao.

As mentioned earlier, the ancient people were very powerful, they can be called all-rounders, they can do almost anything, in addition to their own farming, what repairs houses and burns tiles, weaves carpentry, digs ditches and repairs roads, all come at hand, although winemaking is also a craft, but Tiejiabao will make wine.

After the iron horse gathered the winemakers, after some summary and discussion, he had roughly figured out how to make wine, because the brewing method of fruit wine is really simple, there are no more than two.

Really, there are only two brewing methods for fruit wine, one is soaking, the other is slag removal, the so-called soaking type is suitable for those fruit wine that does not have much pulp, such as the most famous plum wine, the core of the green plum is very large, the flesh is very small, and the juice is not much.

With the exception of plum wine, most fruit wines are made using the slag-removing method.

The slag-removing brewing method requires that the fruit is full and has a lot of juice, and the fruit is crushed, slag removed, sealed, kiln and other steps to form fruit wine.

This slag-removing winemaking method is too widely applicable, such as mulberry wine, hawthorn wine, peach wine, loquat wine, etc., can be used in this way, Tiejiabao people believe that wine can also be made in this way.

If you find the way, then brew, anyway, the Dragon King has already said that there are so many grapes, and you are not afraid of waste.

Liu Dalu didn't know if these people were right, but he was tossed by them, and he believed that even if he couldn't make wine in the first few times, he would definitely be able to make it in the future, and the people of Yanhuang were no worse than those in the Western Regions.

When making wine in Tiejiabao, the Dragon King deliberately went to the county seat, called Zhao Bao over, affirmed and praised his work, with the praise of the Dragon King, Zhao Bao was like playing chicken blood, rested at home for a day, and went out again, this time he went to Qing'an County, ready to bring back a few businessmen in Qing'an County.

"This Zhao Bao is definitely a good employee." Hearing Zhao Bao's whereabouts, the Dragon King was amazed, how many bosses would not like such active employees?

As Shi Wen returned to Mingfeng County with the grapes, Liu Dalu began to look forward to it, and he also asked the fort team to pay more attention to the situation in Mingfeng County.
