Chapter 108: The Secret of Baijiu

"Taste this batch of base wine."

Li Jinfu scooped out half a spoonful from a wooden barrel and handed it to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang took the wooden spoon and lowered his head to smell it.

A mellow grain aroma came to the nose, and the faint purity made people intoxicated.

Wine!

Jiang Yang was secretly happy in his heart and took a sip.

The liquor passed through the throat like a flame swallowing, burning from the mouth all the way down until it disappeared twenty centimeters below the chest.

Further on, it is replaced by an endless aftertaste on the tip of the tongue.

Under the tasting, there is a hint of sweetness.

"That's not right."

Jiang Yang shook his head slightly.

Li Jinfu had a smile in the corner of his eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Yang put down the spoon and said, "This base wine didn't come out of here, right?" ”

Li Jinfu looked surprised: "You can drink this?" ”

"Judging from the climatic conditions of our Shishan County, the temperature and humidity here are not suitable for making such a base wine. In addition, I drank a little sweetness of glutinous rice in this wine, and the aftertaste was at the base of the tongue, indicating that you used sorghum wine with a little black glutinous rice wine to flavor it. The degree is fifty-three, and it won't exceed half a scale up and down, and judging by the heaviness of the taste, you barely add distilled water. ”

After that, Jiang Yang circled around the wooden barrel, gently tapped the wall of the barrel with his fingers and said: "Use our self-brewed sorghum wine as the base wine, three years of black glutinous rice and more than six years of soy sauce wine as seasoning, to achieve the effect of spicy first and then sweet, and the effect of relaxation." So I'm guessing this barrel should be the finished product you want to give me a taste. ”

After saying it in one breath, Li Jinfu and Xu Zhigao were dumbfounded.

"You...... Is this a product? ”

Li Jinfu couldn't believe his ears.

He has been making wine for so many years, and it can be said that he is no longer familiar with this industry. Even he couldn't just take a sip to get the ingredients to this point.

Jiang Yang was very satisfied with the reaction of the two.

Although he said that he did not know how to make wine and bartend, the experience of his previous life gave him a tongue that could do anything.

What kind of wine, what is the vintage, what is the composition, what is the quality.

He knew it as soon as he tasted it.

Xu Zhigao picked up the spoon in disbelief, scooped up a little and put it in the cup, and then put it in his mouth and took a sip.

Hot.

He drank nothing but the spicy taste.

"Isn't this liquor? What are you talking about? Also, you've been talking about base wine, what is this base wine? ”

Xu Zhigao put down the cup and asked.

Li Jinfu looked at Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang smiled slightly and said, "This is our own person, so I'll bother Director Li to explain it to him." ”

Li Jinfu cleared his throat and said: "This base wine, as the name suggests, is the base wine used to make wine, and some people call it the bottom wine." Generally speaking, a liquor that has just been distilled and has not been blended and flavored in any way is called a base liquor. ”

Xu Zhigao suddenly realized: "Isn't that the original puree wine?" ”

Li Jinfu smacked his lips and said, "You can say that, but it's not entirely true." The puree is a type of base liquor, but the base liquor is not equal to the so-called puree. ”

After that, Li Jinfu pointed to the boiler room not far away and said: "Look over there, after the grain has been fermented and processed by a special process, it is distilled and flowed out through that pipe, which is our own sorghum wine. Those are our own base wines. ”

Xu Zhigao nodded: "It seems to understand." But you just said blending and seasoning, why did I hear others say that blended wine is fake wine? ”

After hearing this, Li Jinfu waved his hand and said: "It's just nonsense, it's just nonsense from people who don't understand." ”

Xu Zhigao was taken aback by Li Jinfu's sudden reaction.

Jiang Yang said with a smile: "Director Li is right, blending is actually a technical term, which contains the content of the bartender to use different years of base wine and flavored wine to mix the appropriate proportion, so as to achieve the desired degree and taste. However, today's liquor market is too bad, and many black-hearted manufacturers use some chemical elements and water to blend, that is, fake wine, which leads to the common people mistakenly thinking that liquor cannot be blended, and even think that blended wine is fake. ”

After hearing this, Li Jinfu touched his beard comfortably: "Yes, the boss is still doing something, and what he says is on the point." ”

"I see." Only then did Xu Zhigao understand: "That seasoned wine is also wine?" I see that the base wine in our factory is more than 70 degrees, so don't you have to add a lot of water to dilute it? ”

Li Jinfu shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said impatiently: "So you laymen don't inquire about some technical issues, we are responsible for making wine, and you are responsible for selling wine." The division of labor is clear, isn't it! ”

Xu Zhigao touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Li Jinfu's temper to be so strange.

Jiang Yang was not surprised, but understood Li Jinfu's reaction very well.

Li Jinfu came out of the old Jinli Distillery.

In the state-owned enterprises of this era, the involution is not ordinarily serious, especially the mutual displeasure between factions.

Those who do sales look down on dry production, and think that they are all hard laborers and inferior people.

The workers in the workshop also look down on these salesmen, thinking that they have no real skills except for smiling faces and flamboyant tongues.

Li Jinfu has been a workshop director at Jinli Distillery for nearly 20 years, and his hostility to other departments is not ordinary.

Especially those guys who wear suits and ties, they don't have a good thing in Li Jinfu's heart.

Jiang Yang put his right hand on Li Jinfu's shoulder and said, "Director Li, I have a different opinion from you on this point. Whether it is sales or production, it is a family. ”

Xu Zhigao took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Li Jinfu.

said with a smile: "Yes, Director Li, we are all a family." ”

Li Jinfu stretched out his hand and pushed the cigarette back: "This can't be smoking." ”

Xu Zhigao then remembered that he was standing in the pile of liquor, and quickly put the cigarette back.

Li Jinfu said angrily: "Even if it is a family, the workers in our workshop are also raised by their stepmothers, and no one hurts." ”

With that, he squatted on the ground and began to check the fermentation of the grain.

Jiang Yang joked with a smile: "Some stepmothers also know that it hurts, but the key is that this child is worth hurting." ”

Li Jinfu was stunned and stopped talking.

After a while, Li Jinfu, who was still complaining one second, stood up and said excitedly the next second: "Boss Jiang, look, the color of this fermented tooth has come up, if you get a few more greenhouses to assist, I think the wine cooked in our boiler can be more than three percent!" ”

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "Then hurry up and get it, and I'll ask the construction team to transfer some people over and build two factories here for you." As for how to plan, you decide. ”

"Gotcha."

Li Jinfu grinned, and then said hesitantly: "That, Mr. Jiang, the 50,000 yuan given by Accountant Li last time has been spent, see if you can give a little more approval." ”

Jiang Yang frowned slightly: "Lao Li, I really want to criticize you for this." ”
