Chapter 64: The Beginning of the Wine Workshop

The store was closed in the evening, and everyone sat around for a meeting. Aoeda wanted to say something like "Let the South Gate rise again" with high morale, but everyone only listened to Ritsukogawa.

So in the end, it was just that Ritsu Zichuan calmly said that Dong Zhan was willing to take out barley seeds to cooperate with the winery to make wine, and bought the brewing technology at a high price and was willing to teach it to Qingzhi, and asked everyone if they would like to help in the winery in the future?

Su Da and they have just experienced a lot of ups and downs, relying on this store to recover a little, and they are a little hesitant when they hear that they are going to change careers.

Aunt Li's son is still promising, don't worry about it in her old age, she made the fastest decision: "Okay! I'm not doing things to make money anyway, I'm just trying to get closer to you! ”

Wu Dalang did not get married, and the whole family was not hungry when he fed himself, and he also said: "I'll go!" I've long heard that the brewery makes a lot of money! ”

The Su family, who has a wife and children, is more cautious and asks, "Have you obtained the liquor license?" ”

After getting an affirmative answer, Su Da bowed his head for a long time and said firmly: "I'll go!" However, we haven't been in this industry before, and I want Zichuan and Qingzhi to mention more, and I will learn more by heart. ”

smiled and said to Song Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, you have finally found a way to make a fortune!" ”

This matter was settled, the restaurant was still open for the time being, but the products were reduced, and everyone was running at both ends of the wine shop for a while, taking turns to take care of it.

At the sake brewery, Qingzhi personally went to find a carpenter, made all kinds of utensils, and found a mason to make a oven, and she was very satisfied after making it: I have to say that the ancient craftsmen had the ability, and with the pile of paper she wrote and painted, the craftsmen were able to make such decent equipment.

Not long after, Dong Zhan personally brought people to bring ripe barley, and took advantage of Lu Zichuan's inattention, pulled the green branch aside and said: "This time only the amount of samples was planted, if the samples can, expand the planting area, the maturity period should not be so fast, it is estimated that it will take about three months to add spiritual water, too fast The villagers will also be suspicious." ”

Qingzhi was about to say that then you can decide, but Ritsukogawa walked over, and the two of them stopped.

The first step is to soak the barley to allow it to sprout, which is used to make wine.

In ancient times, the temperature and humidity were not easy to control, so Qingzhi could only replay the strategy in his brain, and patiently taught Ritsu Zichuan, Su Da and others to turn the wheat manually, and everyone turned the wheat grains over and over again in the winery to ensure that the germination progress of each wheat grain was consistent.

Song Qingzhi: I miss the thermometer and hygrometer so much.

Three days later, the first batch of germinated wheat grains began to be baked in the oven, and because Qingzhi was not sure for the first time, he made several different attempts, all of which were recorded in detail by Ritsukogawa.

Su Da and the others also studied attentively, and they were careful every step.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the ale has reached the fermentation stage, because the temperature is difficult to control, everyone has taken turns to keep vigil these nights, and master the heat of the oven with the experience of the previous failures.

Because of the consideration that Qingzhi is not married, Chen has always only let her guard with himself or Aunt Li, and this night was supposed to be a vigil with Aunt Li, but Qingzhi has failed four or five times due to fermentation, and he is in a hurry, so he still rushed over.

Chen knew that Aunt Li was an old man, so he didn't stop Qingzhi, and let her stay in the winery, after all, the winemaking was unsuccessful several times, and everyone was a little bottomless.

It was already deep at night, and in the warm fermentation room, Aoeda sat on the soft futon that Ritsukogawa had brought to stay overnight, and felt very peaceful when she heard the soft sound of the wood burning in the oven and the bubbles bursting from the fermentation vat.

Aunt Li is very old, and she has fallen asleep on the bamboo couch next to the oven, snoring slightly.

Ritsukogawa sat on a small stool by the wall, too tired to fall asleep, and he kept the most vigils this time.

A few strands of black hair were scattered on his forehead, his skin was even paler, his eyelashes cast a deep shadow, the bridge of his nose was straight, and his thin lips were pursed, adding a bit of stubborn childishness.

Song Qingzhi stared at him with his cheeks raised, he usually looks like a fairy, but why did he suddenly become a super innocent cutie when he fell asleep?

She walked up to him and brushed the hair from his forehead.

His cheeks looked soft and soft, as soft as a baby's face, and the green branch ghost kissed it on the cheek.

After kissing, he opened his eyes, and he happened to meet a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, there was red mist in those eyes, and there was also dense water vapor, and then Ritsu Zichuan put his hand against the back of Qingzhi's head and kissed it back.

I'm sorry for the trust of the party and the people in the middle of the night to arch Ritsu Zichuan, a juvenile cabbage!

Ahh It's just a mess! It's so angry!

Song Qingzhi jumped up, pushed away Ritsu Zichuan, and was about to run out, when the bamboo couch creaked, and Aunt Li said vaguely: "Do you want to add some firewood?" Can't do a bar when it's cold? ”

Aoeda cleared his throat, remembering the sound of bubbles gently bursting in the fermentation vat before, and said, "I don't think so, this night is just right." ”

Ritsu Zichuan smiled at her, very abrasive goblin posture.

Qingzhi quickly turned his face and ran away, and Ritsu Zichuan came over and was about to say something, when Aunt Li's voice came from behind: "Qingzhi, my head hurts a little, can you help me pour some warm tea?" ”

Qingzhi heard that Aunt Li's nasal voice was very strong, so she quickly poured the tea over, and said, "Is it a cold?" When the pharmacy opens at dawn, I'll buy some pills to dispel the wind and cold, and you can lie down. ”

Fortunately, it was dawn soon, Chen sent food over, and found that Aunt Li was infected with the cold, so he hurriedly sent her home first, Ritsu Zichuan went to buy pills, Wu Dalang looked at the store, and Su Da and Qingzhi were busy in the wine shop.

Ritsu Zichuan bought medicine and sent it to Aunt Li's house to come back, and wanted to find Qingzhi to say something, Qingzhi shook his head and motioned for him to turn around and say, everyone was busy boiling water and disinfecting utensils.

Qingzhi has been busy all day, and he didn't have a chance to talk to Ritsu Zichuan about last night's events, but he didn't pretend, he was really busy.

In the evening of that day, the first batch of finished ale came out, and Qingzhi tried it, and felt that it seemed to be somewhat similar to the beer he had drunk before the crossing, but the taste was lighter, and there was no bitter aroma of beer, but a faint aroma of wheat.

She happily nodded to Ritsu Zichuan and Su Da and said, "It's brewed!" ”

Both of them also tasted it, Ritsu Zichuan said it was good, and Su Da also said: "This wine tastes good!" ”

Early the next morning, she went to Dong Zhan with the sample.

Dong Zhan was also very satisfied with the finished product, and the two discussed the details of the drying and storage of the winery, and said that they would plant barley in Lujia Village, where Dongjia had more fields, and Dong Zhan and the villagers of Lujia Village would try to strictly prevent the spread of this kind of rotten wheat suitable for winemaking, and when a large number of wheat matured after three months, Dong Zhan would personally escort it to the winery.

Qingzhi returned to the winery with brisk steps, and told everyone the news, Su Da was rigorous, and after listening to it, he urged: "There is still a lot of barley left in the sample sent by Young Master Dong before, why don't we take advantage of these three months to explore more, don't catch blind when the time comes!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.
