Chapter 241: Grandpa's Smile
"Grandpa Su, don't be modest, Huatian Town is still so beautiful without your protection!"
Yan Jin was grateful from the bottom of her heart, because this place was the place she was most attached to.
She is always glad that this place will not be like the outside world, with the development of technology and economy, everything will be modernized with progress, and she prays that this place will never change its original state.
"Grandpa, thank you for keeping all the good things for everyone."
"Hey, grandpa, how can I be so great, everything is for the grapes!"
Old Man Su waved his hand, put down the grapes in his hand, turned to look at the sorting table, sighed unconsciously slightly, and changed the topic, "This picking is also to go through strict manual picking, and then carefully select, picking three or four is the basic requirement of Crimson Xuan." β
As he picked out the grapes for them to demonstrate, he said, "It's not just about removing the grapes that are not ripe or rotten, but the grapes that are selected need to be up to standard." β
After taking a few grapes that Mr. Su picked out to meet the standard of color, the two girls took a closer look, although it sounded a little complicated, but it didn't seem to be so difficult to operate in practice.
Then, Old Man Su led them to a large machine that was in operation.
I saw that there were workers in front of the conveyor belt of the machine who kept pouring the sorted grapes, conveying them into the machine, and then conveying them out from another outlet.
The workers put all the grapes that had been pounded by the machine into large wooden barrels, and transported them into the warehouse not far away, and then came out empty barrels to contain the grapes.
Seeing this, Yan Jin asked puzzledly: "Grandpa, what is this for, why do you have to break the grapes that you finally picked up?" β
Old Man Su explained with a smile, "This is a crusher, you have to break the skin of the grapes before cold maceration, this machine crushes gently in place, otherwise the grape seeds will be damaged and bitter oil and tannins will flow, which will destroy the taste." β
"Cold maceration? What is it? β
"The grapes are put into a low-temperature warehouse and soaked for a period of time together with the belt residue and juice to extract the pigments and flavor substances in the grape skins."
Old Man Su explained as he beckoned them into the temperature-controlled warehouse.
"For both red and white wines, it has the benefit of enhancing the fruity aromas, giving the wine a fuller body and a richer mouthfeel."
There were many oversized woods placed in the low-temperature warehouse, and looking at the soaked grapes in the barrels, the two girls nodded clearly, and asked, "Then how long does it take to soak this?" β
"The length of cold maceration depends on the grape variety and the desired result, the maceration extracts the grape pigments, while the red wine soaks for a longer period of time, and the deepening of the color is also part of the quality enhancement. White wine should not be steeped for too long, as long as the flavor compounds and some phenolic substances are extracted, which will help to obtain a full-bodied wine and enhance the ageing potential......"
In this way, Mr. Su personally introduced them step by step, explained them in detail, and let them experience it.
Let's not talk about how much they have learned in practice, but to
I also learned about the process that red wine goes through before it is finished.
Finally, in the wine cellar, they tasted the wine matured in oak barrels, and listened to the deeper description of Old Man Su, and only then did they understand the quality of the so-called good wine.
This good wine is like magic, it will make people addicted after tasting it, and the same is true of the winemaking process, and when you learn more about it, you can't help but get more interested in it.
It made Ji Jin's mood feel better, and she chatted with Guo Liuli endlessly about winemaking.
"However, I didn't expect the wine to be done in this way, and at first I thought that after picking it off and washing it, I would simply soak it in alcohol, haha......" Guo Liuli smiled innocently.
Old Man Su shook the wine in his hand and said, "Where is the good wine without complicated processes?" The small details such as time, temperature, step adjustment, etc., need to be strictly controlled layer by layer. β
Yan Jin tilted his head and touched his chin thoughtfully: "This process sounds quite simple, and it is not so difficult to operate, but it is very complicated to understand deeply, and it does take a long time to be fine." β
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, you have to come often in the future, grandpa will take you to learn, and you will learn the brewing secret of the Su family without worrying about food and clothing!"
"The secret?" Yan Jin looked at everyone in surprise, and then looked at Old Man Su, "Grandpa, are you going to teach me all the secrets of Crimson Xuan's unique brewing?" β
"Or else? Do you think that in this highly competitive wine world, wines made from these basic brewing processes alone will be able to gain a foothold? β
Old Man Su's heroic appearance seemed very indifferent, but it made Yan Jin's mood indescribably complicated.
Indeed, Crimson Xuan can stand out from the fierce competition of so many peers and become a world-famous red wine maker, and it is this brewing process that wins.
This unique brewing secret is also the result of his years of experience research, how many peers are eyeing it, and they all dream of it, right?
But he trusts her so much, and he teaches casually.
"Grandpa, this is your life's work, wouldn't it be a waste to give me such a yellow-haired little girl casually?"
Yan Jin tugged at the corners of her mouth, moved but also ashamed.
"It's not a waste as long as you like it!"
"Grandpa......"
In the face of this unconditional trust and pampering, she didn't know if it was because she was moved, so she was a little nervous and overwhelmed, so that she didn't know what to say at all.
"What's wrong? You're not happy anymore? Old Man Su lowered his head and looked at her.
"No, no!" Yan Jin shook his head violently and hurriedly explained, "To be able to become your personal disciple of Grandpa, I am simply fortunate to have three lives and seven lives to benefit the little girl!" β
Old Man Su couldn't help but be happy, scratched her nose and said, "Look at your clever little mouth, the beautiful words are really satisfying!" β
"Grandpa, that's the truth! Crimson Xuanye! The founder of the world-famous Crimson Xuan is you, grandfather, you are
What a treasure in the industry! β
"Haha...... You girl! β
Looking at Yan Jin's exaggerated expression, not to mention Old Man Su, Su Mofeng was about to be slapped by her sycophancy.
"I'm a nobody, if I can learn from a great thief like you, it's really the shit luck that I've accumulated for eight lifetimes and made a lot of money, this is a winner in life, right?! How could it not be pleased! β
Old Man Su put his hands behind his back, looked at Su Mofeng thoughtfully and nodded, "You are a target shooter in this life, you hit this bull's-eye with one arrow, and you won a big victory!" β
"What?"
"Hahaha......"
Old Man Su laughed again, and Yan Jin confusedly shifted her gaze to Su Mofeng and Guo Liuli for answers, but judging from their meaningful smiles, she seemed to be even more confused.
What is a target shooter? What does that mean exactly?
Could it be a bystander? Even Guoguo seems to understand, why doesn't she understand?!
Patting Su Mofeng's shoulder, Old Man Su looked at his watch, then looked at Yan Jin and said, "Okay, okay, let's learn this today!" It's not too early, Aunt Yang is almost ready for lunch at this point, you hurry back to eat and have a good rest! β
Yan Jin turned his head and asked, "Grandpa, aren't you going back?" β
"Don't go back, I'll eat here with everyone in a while, and I have to continue to be busy here, so I don't have to run back and forth again!"
"Oh, well. But grandpa, you still have to pay attention to rest, don't work too hard! β
"Okay, I know, don't worry, I still want to live a few more years and wait for my great-grandson to be born!"
Old Man Su waved his hand, turned around and walked into the work area.
Guo Liuli really couldn't hold back this time, accidentally laughed, and immediately covered her mouth, and glanced at Yan Jin, who was instantly shy from time to time.
And Su Dashen, if there is a smile on her face, can she understand it as pride?
It wasn't until he left the winery, on the way back, that Su Mofeng told Yan Jin that the reason why his grandfather bought the entire manor without hesitation was just because of his grandmother's emotional words back then.
"It's so beautiful, you can see the whole town from here, it's so picturesque, it would be nice to wake up every day and look at it!"
In Grandpa's heart, the real founder of Scarlet Xuan should be grandma, because the unique brewing process of Crimson Xuan is discovered and innovated by grandma from the traditional red wine brewing process.
She and her grandfather are childhood sweethearts, and the two have been learning red wine brewing from their grandmother's father since they were children, but she has a higher understanding, has traveled more places, has a wider range of knowledge, and has more experience.
left everything he saw, learned, and heard in this life to his grandfather.
And Crimson is also taken from her grandmother's name.
The smile on Yan Jin's face suddenly dimmed, because she finally understood why her grandfather's smile at that time made her feel a trace of sadness and bitterness.
β¦β¦
After lunch, Guo Liuli mentioned that she wanted to go to the coffee house to have a look, and planned to return to her post tomorrow.
"From the beginning of the summer vacation to the present, it has been full almost every day
, Their limb systems are almost paralyzed, and they just sent me a message urging me, if you don't go, they will come to arrest people! β
"I don't even look at my phone much...... Okay, okay, I'll accompany you to the rescue in a while! Yan Jin waved his hand funny.
"Forget it, you can stay here and intern well, it's enough for me to go alone!" Guo Liuli patted her on the shoulder, revealing a teasing smile.
Yan Jin glanced at her with a smile, poked her waist and said, "Come less, if you don't talk about me for three meals now, you will have itchy skin, right?" β
"I don't know what's going on, since you've been in love, I've been suffering from masochism, and in order to see your shy happiness, I always want to lift your dog food in a way that destroys my own soul!"
"Can I ask you to block Sakura and Slimy?"
"Huh? How do you know it's themβ"
Seeing that it was recognized, Guo Liuli blurted out, and subconsciously covered her mouth.
"Who else but the two of them would teach you these things so shamelessly?"
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Yan Jin glanced at her speechlessly, then changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's get down to business!" Huaxixi didn't come back again, just you went to help, it is estimated that it can only improve the efficiency of issuing orders a little, and you will still be tired like dogs! β
Guo Liuli sighed, smoothed her braids, and muttered, "I'm afraid that I will get you to do hard work, and your great god Su may step on the entire coffee house!" β
Yan Jin straightened up her waist and slapped her arm angrily, "It's over!" β
"Hey......
"Go, I'll be with you."
Su Mofeng appeared again unconsciously and walked to Yan Jin's side.
