Chapter 0023: Ping'er's Little Heart
Ping'er didn't jump, but her little heart was pounding. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
How dare this master think of anything?
"Fourth master, I've also seen Ganoderma lucidum, just with this skin jelly, you can grow Ganoderma lucidum?"
"Where have you seen Ganoderma lucidum?"
"When someone honors the second grandmother, they say that it is Ganoderma lucidum."
It's over, this little hoof, has shaken out all the things about the master's bribery.
"Besides, I've seen what you brought back today."
Hey, this little hoof, I went to peek at it.
"This thing is like the land, and the reishi mushroom is like a crop, and when the time comes, it will grow. However, it will take some process and several months before it can finally grow. From tomorrow, I will start teaching you, and in the future, you will also have to be able to plant. ”
"I'll plant too?"
"Yes, you may have to make a fortune from this in the future. Three or five thousand taels of silver a year is no problem. ”
"Me? Three or five thousand taels of silver? ”
Ping'er's little heart thumped again.
"What's wrong? Is three or five thousand taels a lot? ”
There's still a lot, it's just too much, so won't I become an old lady too?
Ping'er was a little afraid to think about it.
"Not only you, Jiao Li and Fenghua will become rich people in the future. When the time comes, donate a fame, and it is not necessary to be an official. ”
Although Jiao Li didn't speak, his heart was already alive.
I went to Qixia Mountain last night, and I was busy tonight, so I had to suspend the class, so I had to do it tomorrow.
In the future, no matter how busy you are, the training of these people must be done.
With the current situation of this team, it will not be able to cope with the big development in the future.
And it's not just training. The process of training is that Jia Min writes teaching materials, explores teaching rules, summarizes experience, and finally comes up with a mature and effective model of procedures.
The training of the team is a small matter, and this model is a big part of making money in the future.
Early the next morning, Jia Min was woken up.
In the past few days, Jia Min's crazy actions have been left and right, and today he is going to dig a well to make money, and people have long been unable to hold their breath.
"Whisper to me, the fourth master sleeps."
Looking through the window, I saw Ping'er standing at the door, reprimanding Nan'er and Ning'er.
This little hoof still seems to feel sorry for me.
After eating, Jiaoli left. Today, I'm going to Chen Hanlin's house to dig a well, this is the first one, and he doesn't want to mess it up.
Subsequently, Nan'er and Ning'er also left, and their task was to post advertisements.
Jia Min was drawing in the study, and Ping'er led Liu Blacksmith here.
Jiao Li had already explained to him about the construction of the blacksmith shop, and it was just a polite thing to come to see Jia Min.
Blacksmith Liu kowtowed, Jia Min explained a few words, and then went to Ping'er to get the silver.
"Girl, is the master dissatisfied with me?"
Blacksmith Liu was apprehensive.
"What do you mean by that?"
Ping'er's statement to Blacksmith Liu was inexplicable.
"If you are not satisfied, why don't you tell me to kowtow to him in the future?"
That's what happened.
"Our lord is like this, we usually don't kowtow to him. He doesn't speak of these rites. In the future, if there is no outsider, you don't have to kowtow to him, he is long-winded. ”
And such a lord?
Blacksmith Liu muttered in his heart and left.
The picture drawn by Jia Min is a steamer used to make sake. This pot is a little different from ordinary pots. The upper half is cylindrical, and the lower half is semi-conical. It's not like a regular pot, it's semi-circular.
In his previous life, it was very simple to make such a pot. The iron plate is processed, and then welded, and the matter is all right.
In this world, there are no iron plates that are so thin and large, and there is no electric welding, so it is much more troublesome to do.
However, now that there is Blacksmith Liu, he can be asked to think slowly after completing the well pipe.
Under normal circumstances, aluminum and stainless steel are used for pot lids, but there is no such thing in this world, so it has to be replaced by wood.
Wood is also exquisite, not all woods are suitable, the best, oak.
Oak is chosen because it has no odor after being heated or soaked. Other woods tend to have an odor.
In the previous life, the corks and barrels were made of oak, and this is the reason.
Another key component is the cooler.
The function of the cooler is that after the raw materials are at high temperature, the alcohol in them evaporates along with the water, and after the cooler cools down, the wine is separated, and the water vapor becomes water after cooling, and flows out of the cooler.
Because the specific gravity of the alcohol is relatively low, it passes through another channel and finally flows out of the outlet.
The material of the cooler should not be iron, nor wood. Normal, it should also be aluminum and stainless steel. The principle is the same as the principle of the pot lid, which is also to prevent odors.
Why can't iron work? The reason is simple, iron is prone to rust.
After thinking about it, Jia Min decided to use ceramics.
In this era, the ceramic industry was relatively developed, and it was already possible to make utensils with very complex structures. As long as there are graphics, if you want to make them, there is no problem at all.
Fortunately, there is no electricity, and the complex mechanical structure is omitted, although it is a little troublesome, it can still be done.
For the rest, it's simpler.
The larger ones are dozens of large vats, which are used for raw material fermentation. In the case of a temperature of 25-35 degrees, ferment for seven or eight days, and it will be fine. It's summer, and it's fine at room temperature. It's cold in winter, so burn the fire to heat it up. Climate change, a little colder, a little hotter, it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of one day earlier and one day later.
There are kilns in the imperial capital, and there are official kilns and private kilns.
Jia Min decided that after receiving the seeds for Ganoderma lucidum today, he would go to the kiln.
One is to solve the problem of the cooler, and the other is to customize the wine bottle.
There are no glass wine bottles yet, but ceramic ones are a good option.
Now there is wine sold on the market, and the common one is bulk wine, which can be filled in a large vat, and whoever buys it will take it back with his own money.
Then there are some clay pots with the word "wine" pasted on them. The packaging is very simple, let alone a brand.
Customized fine porcelain wine bottles, small packaging, patterns, brands or something, directly burned on the bottle. Fill it with high-quality liquor, and you can take the high-end route.
Relative to the cost, the price can be increased by several times, more than ten times or even dozens of times.
In his previous life, Jia Min scoffed at those who liked to show off high-end liquor.
A bottle of wine for 10 yuan and a bottle of wine for 1,000 yuan are not fundamentally different in quality. The raw materials are alcohol and water, and the difference is the taste.
The adjustment of the taste, one is cellaring, the so-called vintage wine, playing with this concept. After a long time, the taste of the koji in the wine will be reduced, and the taste will be good.
Another way to adjust the taste is additives.
As for what nutrients are in the wine, it's basically nonsense.
Jia Min's advantage now is that his wine is high-quality. This is something that no one else can do.
If you want to reduce the alcohol content of high alcohol, it's very simple, just add water to it. Add distilled water, there are few impurities in the water, and the wine will appear clear.
Add ordinary water, there are many impurities in it, and the wine will appear turbid.
It is very difficult for a low-alcohol sake to become a high-alcohol sake. Some people say, can't you do it by distillation?
Theoretically, yes. However, there is a prerequisite that there must be a reliable collection device to collect the alcohol.
Otherwise, after heating, the alcohol evaporates and in the end only water remains. Not only did the degree not go up, but it got lower and lower.
The fundamental reason is that alcohol is more volatile than water.
Therefore, at this point, Jia Min is still not worried, at least in a short period of time, others will not be able to make high-grade wine.
Even if someone else makes it, it doesn't matter, Jia Min has other ways to deal with it.
Equipping a belt, developing a generation, and pre-researching a generation, this weapon development idea is also applicable to business.
Now, Jia Min is ready to inoculate Ganoderma lucidum.
The water in the pot had been scooped out an hour ago, and the dry pot had been boiling for two hours, and even the pot was red.
At this point, the inoculation room is like a stove.
The reason why dry burning is necessary is not only for sterilization, but also to reduce the humidity in the room.
The jars filled with agar were ready, and Jia Min took out a few small hooks and knives that he had made in the blacksmith shop, and burned them on the oil lamp for a while, which naturally sterilized them.
Then take out the reishi mushroom that I picked back yesterday. Cut it into small pieces the size of a fingernail with a knife and put it on top of the agar in a jar. Then, seal it with a pre-cut tung oil cloth and tie it tightly with thread, and this completes one.
It took nearly an hour to get 120 cans.
After ten days or so, white cotton-like hyphae appeared in the jar, and the inoculation was considered successful.
120 cans are not guaranteed to be successful, but as long as 20 cans are successful, it is enough.
In this process, in the previous life, no jars were used, test tubes were used, and then the mouth of the test tube was plugged with cotton wool. In this case, it is easy to prevent the invasion of miscellaneous bacteria and to make it easier to observe. It's just that because there are no test tubes, small jars are used instead.
No way, that's it.
The strains that come out of this way are called the original species, also called the first-class species.
When he was done, Jia Min opened the window to ventilate and let the temperature in the house cool down.
Next, it's just a matter of waiting.
Of course, proper management is still necessary, mainly for temperature, humidity, light and ventilation.
The temperature, now the room temperature is above 20 degrees, it is really cold, you can burn the fire to heat.
Humidity, there is no hygrometer here, it can only be relied on experience and feeling. It's dry, sprinkle some water in the house. If it's too humid, open more windows for ventilation.
The light depends on the sun. There is no need for additional lighting. Ganoderma itself does not like light, and some faint light is fine. Ping'er had prepared the curtains in advance and hung them up.
Ventilation means opening the windows properly.
Ping'er also knows that this vaccination is a big deal. Although Jia Min said that he didn't need her help, he still waited quietly at the door of the vaccination room.
Even though the door was tightly closed, you could still feel the heat inside. So I can't help but be a little worried.
Now that Jia Min came out safely, his heart is a lot more relaxed.
It's just that seeing Jia Min's face covered with sweat and his clothes soaking wet, he can't help but feel a little distressed.
Jia Min went back to the house, took a shower with cold water, changed his clothes, and explained to Ping'er that he would not come back for dinner at noon, so he got on his horse and left.
Looking at Jia Min's back, Ping'er couldn't help but think of the other masters in the house.
Those old men are eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, blindly having fun, only this one, who has been working in vain and night.
I couldn't help but feel unfair for Jia Min, and my heart warmed, and I actually shed tears.
