Chapter 181, Wine Brewing
Don't book yet, wake up and watch again, Carvin.
Perhaps it was the birthday cake made for the victory Hou Qingsheng that day that played a great role, and in the next few days, Liu Ruyue received orders from several prefectures.
There were even appointments to invite her to a birthday party.
Liu Ruyue made her situation clear, only she can cook these dishes, and she can't contract all the banquets in the house.
When the time comes to cook at home, it depends on the date.
If you set a date in advance, you can only make a maximum of 10 tables on the day.
If you order food temporarily, even if you can do it, you can only go to the house to make one table.
Moreover, each table charges 20 taels more than in the shop.
For her request, everyone also felt that it was reasonable, so it was decided.
Things were all scheduled, and there was one more thing she had to go to herself, and that was winemaking.
The new wine pond on the Zhuangzi has not yet been built, but the fermentation pond dug in the old house on the former Zhuangzi has been dug up, and Cui Rong has started to make wine in the way she taught these days.
It's just that there are more theories taught in Yunyingfang, teaching Cuirong how to make koji and how to ferment sorghum, but the actual operation cannot be carried out in large quantities.
So at this time, Liu Ruyue still has to go over and take a look.
When Liu Ruyue arrived at Zhuangzi, she broke the seal of a cellar, and a rushing smell came to her face, but fortunately she was mentally prepared and was not too uncomfortable to be smoked.
In the fermentation tank, the sorghum that has been fermented for ten days has sunk to the bottom of the tank, and the liquid is also clear, not turbid, and there is no longer a bubbling sound in the fermentation tank.
Stir with a mixing stick inserted into the fermentation tank, and there are no bubbles, which means that the fermentation has been done.
After the stimulation of the opening mouth, the smell is much more normal now, and the smell in the fermentation tank is soft, and the spicy, nasal and eye-smoky feeling has also weakened a lot.
I dipped the liquid with chopsticks and tasted it, it was sour but not sweet, and it already had the aroma of wine.
Although it can't compare to the taste of what she makes, she has to come over often, and Cui Rong has done a lot of work.
And a big reason why the fermentation broth tastes worse is that the fermentation tank is too new, and in the future, if the wine is brewed for two more years, the new fermentation tank will become a slightly older fermentation tank, and the taste will be better.
Subsequently, Liu Ruyue personally took Cui Rong to personally operate how to steam wine and extract purer wine.
Although Cui Rong is not a person who can learn as soon as she learns, she is willing to learn and patient, and Liu Ruyue also tirelessly taught, and she finally mastered it.
taught her to distill liquor, and Liu Ruyue personally demonstrated how to make koji.
The two were making wine in the courtyard, and the female dart master Lu Jiu, who was sent to Zhuangzi, was patrolling with other dart masters.
"Cui Rong, you can't be in a hurry about winemaking, you are already doing a good job now, just follow the method I taught, just take your time." After working for most of the day, Liu Ruyue was also busy sweating.
Cui Rong's body can't be seen at all, and she looks like an ordinary beauty in the countryside when she is dressed in plain clothes.
Seeing her cautious, it was as if she had seen herself who wanted to learn the craft in her previous life and was afraid of not doing well, although she had met a lot of bad people and wicked people, but the owner of the Drunken Immortal Building was very good, and Liu Ruyue also took out 120,000 points of patience to teach Cui Rong at this moment.
Even the wine brewed by Cuirong's current technology is much better than those light water wines.
Feeling Liu Ruyue's comfort, Cui Rong's tense nerves also relaxed a lot, "Thank you Shi Niang for your teaching, it's just that I'm too stupid." ”
There is no need to be stupid in making wine, and what you need is patience and a character that can endure loneliness.
Especially in Zhuangzi, where she can't come often, what she needs is a reliable and honest person, and Cuirong is very suitable.
"Take your time."
"You continue to guard the steam bar, and I'll go to the mountains to have a look."
"Okay."
When Liu Ruyue went out, she carried a basket on her back and picked up two barrels of newly made original puree-based wine up the mountain.
Refusing to be followed by the crowd, he went to the back mountain alone.
Yingge acted quickly, and the things she should do had been done, and the bamboo that people planted had been planted, but it would take some time for them to grow into a bamboo forest.
What Liu Ruyue needs is not a bamboo, this kind of growing bamboo is the best.
She selected the growing bamboo, made small holes, and inserted a special slender iron funnel prepared in the basket into the hole, and poured the liquor into the bamboo.
Since those people don't do it, she doesn't have the connections to check anything, so she just quietly does her own business.
These days, there are 86 tables of reservations one after another, and from the fifth day of the next month, they can be scheduled until the New Year.
The days are relatively scattered, even if there are less than ten tables a day in the future, Liu Ruyue will not lose.
The ten tables in the restaurant were not satisfied, so she went to Yunyingfang to cook, and earned more money from the diners there.
Yun Yingfang's side is not based on the table, but there is a bid for a single dish.
However, for the sake of strange goods, Liu Ruyue will not do too much, hanging those people's appetites, the more they can't eat, the more they want to eat, and the more willing they are to pay for bidding.
In front of the women in Hualou, the men's desire to win and lose is unprecedentedly high, who wants to lose face in front of their friends?
In addition, after taking the silver given by Liu Ruyue, Yingge also went to more than a dozen private houses that raised thin horses in Yangzhou one after another and bought two Chun Er who could support the table a little and came back.
At this time, it cost 2,800 taels of silver.
This expense is not small, but she is not a peerless girl, she can only be regarded as an ordinary Yangzhou thin horse, which is better than the girl that ordinary Hualou bought and cultivated by herself.
It's not easy to meet the kind of Oiran that has to wait until the peerless Fanghua.
Yingge was afraid that Liu Ruyue would think that these two people would not be cost-effective to buy, so she said about the flower building in Qinhuai, "Every year on February 22, the flower dynasty festival, the birthday of the god of flowers in the sky, the flower buildings in the world are also busy, and all the flower buildings in Tianfu will hold an Oiran competition, and choose a Qinhuai Oiran to come out to celebrate the flower dynasty festival." ”
"Qinhuai has all the flower buildings, as long as he has self-confidence, he can send his own 'Oiran' to compete for the title of Qinhuai Oiran.
If you can compete for the title of Qinhuai Oiran, the flower building will be able to rise in the next year, and the girls in the building will increase in value. ”
In fact, Liu Ruyue still knows a little about this.
The focus of Yingge is not the above sentences, "During this time, there will be more and more bustards who go to the private house to see the thin horse, and the steward on the side of the private house also watches the people cook, and they are familiar with the situation of the flower building." ”
"For our newly opened Yunyingfang, they can't see the foundation of our family for the time being, and their attitude towards me is quite neutral, at least not like the boss of Xiaoqinglou who has no money to blossom in Flower Street.
If we want to see their best-bred and tightest 'daughter', I can only spend it first and let them see my financial resources. ”
"So I originally wanted to save money, and when the time comes, I can only buy a stunning thin horse to come back, so I can only waste it, Shi Niang won't blame me."
