Chapter 155: Brewing
The carriage quickened and galloped towards the Grange.
Jiang Zhixia heard that everyone was washing grapes in the front yard, so she asked Xing Zhuangtou to drive the carriage to the gate of the backyard. She went from the back garden into the main room in the backyard.
After Xing Zhuangtou called Uncle He and Aunt Zhang over, Jiang Zhixia told them about the proportion of frosting to be put in the final brewing.
Originally, Jiang Zhixia only planned to put frosting with Uncle He and Aunt Zhang.
However, what happened today made her also begin to trust Xing Zhuangtou's father and daughter.
This winemaking is just a small business.
Today, if she is taken captive, she will lose not only her money, but also her life.
She can't control others. If it was her, she would definitely not let herself be insulted.
So it's just a sale. If she really looked away, even if this deal was taken away by Xing Zhuang, she wouldn't care.
"The most important step in this wine is the addition of frosting. Frosting can raise the alcohol content and prevent it from becoming sour. Don't tell me about that. For the people in front of me, I just said that I still need to add a secret recipe. They can also make it when they go home. Then we won't be able to sell this for money. ”
The recipe for this wine is so simple, so simple that you can see it at a glance, so you can only make a fool of yourself.
When everyone heard that this wine making was so simple, and saw Jiang Zhixia telling them the secret recipe so casually, they all felt trusted, and they couldn't help but be even happier.
"Sifting and cleaning is exactly what I told you before. After drying, the grapes are broken and placed in jars. Then, we moved all the jars to the room in the small courtyard with a cellar, and we took care of adding sugar to them. After adding the sugar, it is sealed with a cloth. This doesn't have to be sealed with mud and wax like in a sake shop. This is only sealed with a cloth and then covered with a lid. This one needs to be breathable, otherwise it will explode. ”
When Jiang Zhixia was in her previous life, she heard from a friend that she had no experience when she made wine for the first time, not only sealed it with plastic wrap, but also tightened the lid tightly. In the end, it was ---- bottle that blew up.
Everyone stared at her carefully, and listened to her words carefully.
"Once the wines are sealed, they are placed in the cellar that has been dug before. This wine is fermented for a month, and it is almost ready. Once opened, it's ready to be sold. Before selling, you have to buy a coarse cloth, boil it in a pot, dry it, and then use it to filter. After filtering, the wine water is stored in a delicate white porcelain jar. Then you need to sell it as soon as possible. During this whole process, remember not to touch the water, all these utensils need to be steamed and sterilized. ”
Jiang Zhixia talked carefully about the attention of making wine.
This is the first time she has made her own wine, and now it has no preservatives and is not stored in the same conditions as it was in her previous life.
So the wine was stored for too long, and she was also worried that it would spoil.
"Okay. Girl. ”
Everyone responded in unison.
"Well, we started making our first wines. I'm going to teach you how to do it today. Later, it will be up to you to preside over the overall situation. Newly bought people, if you look at the character is really good, you put the frosting and move it to the yard, and let them mix it for you. ”
After Jiang Zhixia finished speaking, he personally demonstrated it.
She first led the people to the small courtyard where the cellar had been dug. Let Xing Zhuangtou go to the front yard and take a bunch of grapes that have been dried.
She confirmed again and again that the last cleaning was washed and dried with a cool white boil.
In fact, today's grapes are not subject to too much air pollution and do not have too many pesticide residues, so it is okay to just wash them with water two or three times.
However, Jiang Zhixia brewed for the first time, so for the sake of insurance, they still let them wash it with a cool white boil for the last time, and then put it on the curtain to dry.
Jiang Zhixia took the grapes that had been dried, she picked and crushed the grapes one by one and put them in the jar, put them in the eight minutes full, then put in the frosting, and stirred a few times with a wooden stick that had been boiled in water and dried.
Finally, wrap the jar in cloth, tie a string, and cover the lid.
"Write the date on the jar, mark it, put it in the cellar and keep it, wait a month and then open it."
Jiang Zhixia stretched his waist.
It's really tiring to do a job...
Everyone carefully watched every step, and then went to the front yard to supervise and guide.
In the front yard, there were already bought subordinates and hired people who were quick with hands and feet doing the work of sorting and cleaning in the early stage.
After Uncle He and Aunt Zhang and Xing Ruolan went to the front yard, they instructed them to crush the grapes and put them in the jar. Then, let the finished jar be moved into the room in the small courtyard in the backyard.
Jiang Zhixia taught Xing Zhuangtou to put frosting in it.
Fortunately, the work of putting frosting is not difficult, and one or two people are completely busy.
And so the crowd began to get busy.
At noon, Aunt Zhang made a simple lunch in the kitchen alone.
After the meal is cooked, let all the people who do the work have lunch, and then go back to work.
The sun slowly went west.
Xing Zhuangtou looked up at the sky. So he said to Jiang Zhixia: "Girl, I'll send you back." In the Zhuangzi, I can take care of it. It's not hard to put frosting. I can do it alone. ”
Jiang Zhixia looked at the sky and it was indeed a little late, and it would take some time to rush back to the capital. It can't be later than the curfew, and then the gates will be closed.
"Okay. Let's go back. I don't need you to send it, you send it and then come back, it's too much of a waste of time. What's more, you still have to watch the things in the Zhuangzi. I heard Uncle He say that he has learned to drive a carriage with you. Just let him rush back. As for the carriage,"
Jiang Zhixia hesitated for a moment.
Because he bought the grange and wanted to make wine, and later in order to buy cotton, he gave Chu Tiankuo all his silver tickets at that time---- although he didn't want it. But I want to buy cotton by myself, and I don't charge money, but I'm embarrassed to ask for something.
So what she has now is only Han Wenxuan's flowing money. Changing to a bigger house is naturally not enough---- not to mention, it also takes time to find a house, and she is busy now.
In addition, it is only for the storage of carriages, which is not the most important thing. So, she let it go.
"Let's put the carriage at my neighbor's house first. His house is relatively large. ”
Jiang Zhixia thought about it for a while, let's put the carriage in Chu Mufeng's house. It should be okay to store it for a while.
"It's just right, let Uncle He bring some frosting tomorrow. There's nothing going on in the capital recently, so let Uncle He help you for a while. When Uncle He goes back, you can send him back to the capital. ”
In the capital, there is nothing that needs manpower recently.
Xing Zhuangtou thought about the past few days, and it is estimated that there will be more grapes sent over. With Uncle He's help, it is indeed faster.
Therefore, it should be done.
Jiang Zhixia asked Xing Zhuangtou to report the account again, and then she thought about it while giving the silver ticket.
Recently, I have invested too much, but it will take some time for the income to come.
Han Wenxuan's flowing money can't be moved too much, and he has to keep his luck to buy books.
It seems that I am going to save money recently.
Xing Zhuangtou went to the front yard and called Uncle He, Aunt Zhang and Xing Ruolan to the backyard.
After listening to Jiang Zhixia's arrangement, a group of several people drove back to the capital in a carriage.
