Liu Yong laughed and said, "That's naturally winemaking." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yu Fu also smiled: "I almost forgot if Childe didn't mention it." It's a great way to do it. ”

Liu Yong said: "Now that the injuries on my body are also good, and there are Brother Dong and Brother Zhou in the army to take care of them, I can be a shopkeeper with peace of mind and concentrate on building a cellar and being a winemaker." There are many types of liquor, and Liu Yong uses the most common aromatic production technology around his hometown. Although modern blended liquor no longer needs any fermentation pools, as long as alcohol, flavor, and water can be blended into good wine, Liu Yong has no such ability, so he can only honestly build cellar pools.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed, and Yu said, "What does the son need the old man to prepare?" ”

Liu Yong muttered: "As the old saying goes, 'good springs produce fine wine', can the county magistrate know where there is good mountain spring water?" ”

Yu said with a smile: "Fuyi does not produce much, but there are a lot of rivers and springs. There is a spring water in Laojun Mountain in the west of the city, which is clear and sweet, it is the top grade of making tea, Liu Gongzi may wish to go and take a look. Then he said to the servants waiting outside the door, "Go and find the old man." He turned his head and said to Liu Yong: "Lao Zhou was the steward of his father, loyal and reliable, and he is also very familiar with the customs of this county. ”

After a while, an old man with gray hair came in, first saluted Yu, and then bowed his hand to Liu Yong and Dong Xi. Yu turned to Lao Zhou and said: "Lao Zhou, you are more familiar with the area of Lao Jun Mountain, so take Liu Gongzi to take it." Lao Zhou nodded yes.

Liu Yong smiled and arched his hand and said, "Under Liu Yong, I'm tired of Zhou Weng." ”

When the old Zhou saw Liu Yong speaking kindly, he was very happy in his heart, and he also arched his hand and said, "Don't dare." Childe, please come with the old decay. Although this person is old, he is in good spirits, and he is full of energy when he speaks, and he walks with his head held high.

Liu Yong said goodbye to Yu Pan and Dong Xi, and there was a car to carry Liu Yong and Lao Zhou to Laojun Mountain. During the chat, Liu Yong learned that this old Zhou Tou had been in the Yu family for more than 50 years, and he was still the housekeeper of the previous generation, and he was extremely familiar with all walks of life and various characters in Fuyi. The two chatted and talked, and after a while, they came to the foot of Laojun Mountain.

Lao Zhou pointed to the small stream flowing on the side, "Childe, this water comes from Laojun Spring." Ordinary people fetch water here, but those who are particular about it go to the upper cave to get it. Childe, please. As he spoke, he led Liu Yong up the mountain. Liu Yong saw that although the Laojun Mountain is not very high, the walls are deep, the trees are dense, and there are also waterfalls, rapids and deep pools, pine waves, birds and flowers, a good place for a fairy. The Laojun Spring is even more magical, a large stream of clear water bubbling out of a deep hole the size of a sea bowl, regardless of the drought and flood outside, this water has not increased or decreased for many years, Liu Yong can't help but admire the magic of nature.

Liu Yong picked up a handful of water, but the water was not biting, slightly warm, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Lao Zhou smiled: "Childe, this water is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very different from other places." ”

Liu Yong smiled, took a sip, tasted the product, and sure enough, the entrance was refreshing and sweet, so he nodded and praised: "It's really good water." Zhou Weng, we chose this water wine. Liu Yong knows that good spring water is rich in minerals, which can play a good catalytic role in the brewing process of wine, showing a unique aroma.

"Childe, what are we going to do next?"

"Zhou Weng, please, let's talk while walking." Liu Yong took a step forward, and Lao Zhou took the lead, and then said, "Let's go to the bottom of the mountain to choose the location of the factory." ”

"Childe......" Old Zhou stopped talking, his face was quite embarrassed, and he said, "Childe, the old man has a reluctant request." ”

"Zhou Weng doesn't have to be polite, please say."

"I wonder how many people are still missing in Childe's brewery?"

Liu Yong was so smart that he immediately understood Lao Zhoutou's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "I'm worried about this matter." Zhou Weng must know that the wine-making process is quite different from that of ordinary workshops, and the wine made has a unique flavor, which will surely sell well all over the world and make a lot of profits. Zhou Weng should have been relaxed, enjoying his old age in peace, and enjoying the joy of family, but he worked tirelessly to run around, Liu Yong was panicked, and he didn't dare to bother Zhou Weng anymore. It's just that Liu Yong is new to Fuyi, and people and places are unfamiliar, and it is extremely inconvenient to do things or find people. Zhou Weng lives in a rich and righteous world, treats people sincerely, has a wide range of knowledge, and is presumptuous, can he bother Zhou Weng to manage everything in the workshop and find all kinds of talents on his behalf? I can't thank you enough. Liu Yong said that these words were quite useful, it was Lao Zhou who asked him for something, but it became Liu Yong to ask Lao Zhou. Such a casual and quiet method of benevolence is more clever, and it is easy to move the other party and make the other party grateful to him.

Sure enough, Lao Zhoutou was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again: "Son's meticulous work, why do you want to let Lao Yu run it?" ”

Liu Yong said: "Zhou Weng must know that there are many affairs involved, and it is difficult to have too much time to ask about this matter. Zhou Weng is shrewd and capable, and he will live up to this trust. ”

Lao Zhou was suspicious: "Lao Yu and Gongzi have never met, why does Gongzi trust Lao Yu so much?" ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Zhou Weng is not only a person recommended by the county magistrate Yu, but also a person trusted by my Liu Yong, and I ask Zhou Weng not to refuse." Liu Yong is like this, anyway, he doesn't have the time or ability to find so many people, so it's better to trust one person, and it is unconditional trust. Of course, it is difficult to say whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage.

Lao Zhoutou couldn't help but be moved when he saw Liu Yong's sincerity, his eyes were filled with tears, and he arched his hand and said: "The son trusts the old man so much, how can the old man afford it." ”

Lao Zhou Tou thought about whether he could have the opportunity to get his two sons to work in the winery, but he didn't expect Liu Yong to hand over the entire workshop to him, and the gratitude in his heart was overwhelming. He secretly speculated that maybe Liu Gongzi was just a kind word, and he couldn't take it seriously. Liu Gongzi treats me like this, I will do my best to help take care of it. After some consideration, Lao Zhou thanked him and said: "Son, rest assured, the old man will live up to his trust." I don't know what Childe's requirements for manpower in each link? ”

Liu Yong said: "It is no different from an ordinary winery, but there are two unique joints, one is the cultivation of cellar mud, and the other is distillation, which are the core secrets of winemaking, and must be in the hands of trustworthy people." ”

Old Zhou nodded and said, "Exactly." Such core secrets should not be known to outsiders. Childe, please relax, no one has come to listen to the old keeping. ”

Liu Yong smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Zhou Weng misunderstood. In the following, I would like to ask Zhou Weng to feature two honest and capable people for me, and I will pass on the key to these two winemaking to them. In my opinion, the closer this person's relationship with Zhou Weng, the better. ”

Lao Zhou was even more surprised, and said: "These are all secrets that the son does not pass on, if they are scattered, what is the profit of the winery?" ”

Liu Yong said: "What Zhou Weng said is extremely true. It's just that he will leave Fuyi in the near future, and this winemaking business will have to be fully revealed. In order to ensure the uniqueness of the quality of the brewery, it is necessary to put the secret craftsmanship in the hands of trusted people. And the most trustworthy person is your own relatives, don't you say? ”

Lao Zhoutou nodded, and said worriedly: "Childe, the old man dares to vouch for himself, but others ...... Even his own son, but he didn't dare to say it. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said: "Everyone has selfishness, this is also common sense. Therefore, these two people have to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the county. Once the secret is leaked or the self-built winery is broken, not only will you lose a lot of money, but you will also face prison. Zhou Weng also has to sign a corresponding management agreement with the county government, let's talk about it first and then not mess up. ”

Old Zhou was stunned, but he also understood in his heart, so he said: "That's how it should be." He knew that the profits of high-grade liquor were huge, and although most of the future profits would go to the county government, the rest could still be enjoyed by the whole family, not to mention that he could master a unique skill.

When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Liu Yong took Lao Zhou to check around, "This place is good." Zhou Weng, you see, the distance from Laojun Spring is relatively close, the terrain is not high and not short, the mountain flood does not pass here, and the water on the flat ground is not flooded. And the environment here is warm and humid, which is suitable for the growth of cellar mud. That's it, how to build it, please ask Zhou Weng to find the manpower and I will tell them one by one. ”

"Good. What else does Childe command? ”

"Don't dare to do it. Zhou Weng knows where there is good yellow mud? ”

"Childe can ask the right person......

The next day, Lao Zhou gathered the manpower, most of them were his own people, and the two sons were arranged in the two most important processes, which was really a "family mobilization". Liu Yong saw that Lao Zhou was quite uncomfortable, so he comforted: "Zhou Weng doesn't have to mind, the so-called 'internal move does not avoid relatives', I won't mind." Liu Yong also knows that as an ancient person, the only person who trusted him the most was his son, which is also human nature.

Liu Yong took out a set of sketches drawn by himself, explained them to the construction workers, and then started construction. Then Lao Zhou was left here to supervise the work, and he took his two sons back to the city to explain the cultivation of cellar mud to the eldest and the distillation process of liquor to the younger. Liu Yong is taught separately, only one person masters one of them, although these two are siblings, and people always have a little selfishness, they will guard against each other and hide, so that they can prevent the two from colluding with each other to a greater extent.

There are two keys to the production of aromatic wine, one is water, and the other is cellar mud. The pit mud looks like ordinary soil on the surface, but in fact it is inhabited by hundreds of millions of microorganisms. How does the aroma come about? In fact, these microorganisms that cannot be seen by the naked eye use the starch, protein and other components in the grain to ferment and produce various fragrant and flavorful substances. The older the cellar, the more microorganisms there are, the more mellow the wine will be, and the more intense the flavor will be, so there is a proverb in the winemaking industry, "A thousand-year-old cellar is ten thousand years old, and the wine is good because of the cellar age." Therefore, good cellar ponds and high-quality cellar mud are important prerequisites for the production of high-quality aromatic liquor. So, how can you cultivate a good cellar? In the past, after the cellar was built, it relied on a long-term natural aging process of "raising the dregs with the cellar and raising the mud with the dregs", which took several years or even decades of long process, and it was said that "the thousand-year-old cellar was ten thousand years old". Fortunately, Liu Yong, a modern person, has his own shortcut, that is, to artificially provide the nutrient base required by microorganisms, so that various microorganisms that are beneficial to winemaking can be quickly enriched and establish an "artificial old cellar".

Liu Yong didn't talk about the principle here, and he didn't necessarily understand it if he did. Liu Yong just told Zhou Da how to cultivate it, and to choose the best lotus pond mud, which is rich in humus and can provide natural nutrients for the reproduction of microorganisms. Then take Daqu powder, soybean cake powder and the bottom dregs purchased at a high price from other breweries, mix the three in equal proportions, add hot water, turn it over while stepping on it, until it is mixed well, go to the pool, and then seal it with oil paper for anaerobic fermentation for about a month. This kind of fermented cellar mud is called "fragrant mud", coated on the wall of the pond and the bottom of the pool, generally the thickness of the pool wall is more than 10 cm, the thickness of the bottom of the pool is more than 15 cm, and the tail of the wine is smoothed with a trowel, sprinkled with Daqu powder, it can be put into use. After the cellar is built, it is necessary to do a good job in the maintenance of the cellar in order to make the cellar embark on a virtuous cycle and truly become an "old cellar". If not properly maintained, the microorganisms in the mud will also decay or die, and the pit will be discarded. These concepts and technologies were unknown to people at that time, and they were also obtained by Liu Yong, who was not afraid of others stealing and copying.

Here, Liu Yong is meticulously training Zhou Dahe on Tuesday, and the infrastructure over there is also in full swing. In a short time, a tall wall encloses a large courtyard, which is divided into several areas, including raw material warehouse, water storage tank, drying field, koji-making room, cellar pool, distillation room, storage room, finished product warehouse, and supporting kitchen, rest room, bathroom and so on. The cellar pond is dug in the ground, about 2 meters in length, width and depth, and is built with sticky yellow mud from the mountains. These yellow muds contain a variety of elements such as nickel that plays a role in solidification and cobalt that plays a catalytic role, and play an extremely important role in enhancing the flavor and flavor of the wine. The water is connected and led down by the bamboo section by section, so as to ensure that the water that is brought to the workshop is basically the same as the water quality in the cave.

Taking advantage of the gap in the fermentation of the cellar mud, Liu Yong returned to the barracks to supervise the construction of the football field and guide the manufacture of football. Liu Yong can't wait to be able to separate a few, hey, isn't he really good, this earth can't turn without me? At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said to Liu Yong: "Regiment Commander, Deputy Regiment Commander Dong has something urgent to look for you." ”
