Chapter Seventy-Three: Printing

Of course, it is not so easy to make wine, Liu Zhuo's current winemaking is just a one-time purification of the existing wine of the Han Dynasty. The real sake brewing has just begun, and the process is quite complex and takes a long time.

For example, the strong aroma koji liquor is typical of **Laojiao special koji and *grain liquid. The characteristics of the process are: mixed steaming and mixed mess, mud old cellar, 10,000-year-old rot (continued rot) and other three aspects. Because of the beautiful quality of the sake, the high yield of sake, and the relatively low cost of sake, it is the best choice for sake brewers who produce aromatic koji sake. The raw material formula for making liquor is 120~130 kg per retort of sorghum flour, the dosage of mother grains is 500 kg, Daqu is 22.2~26.3 kg, rice husk (filler) is 25~27.5 kg in summer, and 27.5~31.3 kg in winter.

There are nine ways to make it:

1. Raw material processing: sorghum must be crushed, rice husks must be steamed, and cooked bran should be used.

2. Mixed grains: The strong aroma type of Daqu liquor is made by mixing and steaming the lees, and the mother grains in the ingredients can give the finished liquor a special style.

3. Steamed grain and wine: The cellar is 1~2 retort noodles (back to the grains), so the noodles are steamed first.

4. Weigh the water: After the grain grains are steamed, dig out, pile them on the edge of the retort, and immediately inject hot water above 85 °C, which is called measuring water.

5. Spread cooling: The traditional operation method of spreading cool is to pull the fermented grain into the drying hall with a wooden shovel to shake it up and flatten it, with a thickness of about 3~4 cm, and pull it repeatedly with a wooden tooth rake for 3~5 times.

6. Saqu: The mud cellar is generally 10~15 meters 3, and the first meter 3 can hold 800~800 kg of grain grains.

7. Fermentation in the cellar: After spreading the cool and sprinkling koji, you can enter the cellar.

8. Blending of wine steamed from grain grains at different levels has outstanding characteristics such as mellow, fragrant, sweet and aftertaste, and the quality varies greatly. Therefore, it is necessary to blend so that the wine sold can guarantee a consistent quality.

9. Storage: The newly distilled liquor can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, with spicy and brewing taste, and it feels dry but not mellow after drinking, and must be stored for a certain period of time before it can be used as a finished product.

Therefore, it will take more than a year for Liu Zhuo to make his own wine, and even if he needs to cellar for a period of time to make wine, fortunately, he has purchased it in advance, and there are ready-made wines to deal with and supplement, and the first step of making a fortune can be opened.

The second step is the papermaking industry, to the Eastern Han Dynasty since Cai Lun began, can already use some waste to make paper, but because Cai Lun improved papermaking is also a beginning, the development and growth of papermaking is also created by the continuous efforts of later people, although there is a simple papermaking jishu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the paper made is still relatively rough, used as toilet paper is almost the same, it is not good to write, so no one uses it, in the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Gan secretly sneered at Zhou Yu's army for having no paper, all bamboo slips, and sneered at Wu Guo's poverty, Even if you can't write, it can be seen that paper was not cheap at that time.

It doesn't matter if the paper is expensive, the key is to be able to use it, fortunately, Liu Zhuo worked in the wine industry and the paper industry for a period of time during his business period, which just filled the shortcomings of the Three Kingdoms period, and it was best to make a fortune. The papermaking process can be divided into the main steps such as pulping, modulation, copying, and processing:

1. The process of pulpingPulping is the first step in the papermaking step, and there are generally three methods of converting wood into pulp, including mechanical pulping, chemical pulping and semi-chemical pulping.

2. The modulation process of paper material is another key step in papermaking, and the strength, tone, printability and length of the paper shelf life are directly related to it after the paper is completed.

The common modulation process can be roughly divided into the following three steps: a. loose slurry b. beating c. gluing and filling

3. The main work of the papermaking section in the process of copying is to make the thin paper material evenly interwoven and dehydrated, and then dry, calender, roll paper, cut, select, package, etc. The preliminary preparations for the paper industry have been arranged for people to do it again, Liu Zhuo has a large number of slaves in his hands, and the cheap labor cost determines that this thief really wants to make a fortune, in addition, Youzhou has dense forests, there is no shortage of raw materials, and these are their own jurisdiction, Nima, almost no business!

However, Liu Zhuo didn't immediately take out the paper to sell it, this thief has a black heart! The so-called odd goods must be fully utilized and excavated to maximize their value, and his target is the rich people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty rather than the vast number of poor people. This included the strategic issue of finance, and his ultimate goal was to maximize the wealth of the late Han Dynasty and prepare for the next strategy. Therefore, the purpose of papermaking is to print books, and it is a beautiful boutique, it can be imagined that once this kind of exquisite books come out, how attractive it is, coupled with a successful sales method, can yujian, the wealth of the rich in the late Eastern Han Dynasty will continue to flow into Liu Zhuo's pocket. In order to achieve this purpose, the next step must be to have the lead type printing this jishu, the so-called lead movable type printing, is the process of printing with lead movable type into a complete layout. This printing process jishu is made by fusing three metals of lead, antimony, and tin in proportion, and of course, there is also mechanical printing, which is a more advanced printing technique than lead movable type printing, which is called letterpress printing. Jishu to step by step transition, can not be achieved overnight, at present the first use of lead movable type printing, this process is generally: word engraving, casting lead movable type, typesetting, plate binding, printing, etc.

In order to achieve this goal, this product has been planned from the beginning. This is why Weishenme wanted to take prisoners when he exterminated the Yellow Turban Army, on the one hand, to preserve the vitality of the Han nation as much as possible, and on the other hand, to prepare enough labor. You must know that there is no mechanization in this era, everything is done by manpower.

This thief can be said to be deliberate, didn't he see that even one of his future wives, Cai Yan, used it and asked him to compile a dictionary of gods and horses? It is estimated that his father-in-law, the current Confucian Cai Bojiao, will come in the second half of the year, and he will definitely be squeezed by this thief at that time!

After finishing this mess, this thing is still thinking about the things that have been missed, thinking about the pair of plump and beautiful things that have come out of my mind. Although the appearance of the maid is slightly inferior to the Zou family, a pair of beautiful flesh is indeed much more beautiful than other women, which is very attractive to this femininity. Not to mention that this thief is shameless, telling people that the Zhang family has given birth to too many children, and the body is a little bad and needs to be maintained, and the key to paralysis is to have a number of young and beautiful beauties. That Zhang's beauty is beautiful, after all, there are too many births, and things are always a little relaxed, although the things of this thief are huge, how can they be compared with young women? I like the new and hate the old!
