The wine workshop has been trying to make wine for some time.

So far, the masters in the workshop have taken small workers, under the instructions of Haixi Cliff, to use different varieties of grapes to try several different recipes of wine, a total of three batches of wine, all of which have been stored in the cellar, and it is said that it will take some days to open the bottle and taste the wine.

There is no exact recipe for making wine, but based on years of observation, several possible recipes have been deduced, and a few of the simplest and easiest ones have been selected as the first time to make wine. In fact, he is not very confident in his heart. However, in order to increase the chances of success, he carefully watched from beginning to end, making sure that the people in the workshop were following his instructions, that all the known details were not wrong, and finally, just in case, he made a glass jar and brewed it alone.

Whether it can be done in the end depends on the will of God.

When Haixi Cliff was at home, she would talk about it from time to time. Xie Wenzai occasionally raised his concerns in front of two old friends. Everyone thought that the wine that was tried would have to be cellared for at least a year and a half before it was taken out for tasting, but I didn't expect to be able to taste it today.

Haitang curiously approached the side of the kang, obediently greeted the three elders, and then kept staring at the small white porcelain bottles on the kang table. There are also three small wine glasses on the side of the small porcelain bottle, two of which are empty, and one of them still has a small half glass of wine, which is dark red and exudes a faint aroma of wine.

Smelling the aroma of wine, Begonia couldn't help but be secretly happy. It seems that the winery that grandpa specially made up is indeed a finished product.

Xie Wenzai saw that she was very interested in those bottles of wine, so he smiled and said: "Today, the workshop opened a few jars of the first batch of wine for the trial, divided them into small bottles, and sent them to several adults for them to taste. Because I've been contributing a lot to the guard recently, I've also got a share. Your grandfather still has a copy there, and I guess I'll let your grandmother and second uncle try it at night. But forget about you and your brother, it's better not to drink at the children's house. ”

Cao Gengyun smiled and said, "What's this? This wine is sweet, like sherbet, not intoxicating, and it is not a big deal for them to taste it, just don't drink more. ”

Lu Bainian felt that there was no need to take this risk: "No matter how intoxicating it is, it is wine, and there is a smell of wine in the mouth." How old are their siblings? It's better not to touch it. Tang Tang is upside down, and after two years, Baoshun will be bigger, but you can taste it. ”

He turned his head and asked Xie Wenzai: "I see that the four bottles of wine you brought back, each taste is a little different, this kind of entrance is a little strange, the taste is not like wine, that one is too sour, the remaining two are the most likely, sweet and sour, with a faint astringency, a little aftertaste, and when we were in Guazhou, the production of the winery on the corner of the street is a little similar, but one is lighter, and the other is more astringent." Is it because of the different recipes that the four wines are so different? Also, I see that the color of these bottles of wine is cloudy, and it is not as bright and red as the wine I drink every day. ”

Xie Wenzai said with a smile: "It's not clear at the moment, the sweetness and sourness of the wine should also be related to the amount of rock sugar put in it." However, the master in the workshop felt that it was more likely that it was due to the different types of grapes sent from below. Some grapes are good for fruit, but not for winemaking; Some grapes can produce fine wines, but they are not delicious when eaten as fruits. The people at the bottom only know that grapes can be sold at a good price, but they don't know that grapes are not the same as grapes. Some of them can't make wine, and they can still eat the fruit, and some can't even eat the fruit, so they can only make inauthentic drinks and give them away or drink them indiscriminately. We need to learn a lesson, we can try any grape variety during the wine-making process, and when we find the most suitable grapes, we can collect the seedlings and open up the vineyard. ”

As for the cloudy color of the wine, it is estimated that the altar was opened too early, right? The rest of the wine will be stored for a few more days.

Both Cao Lu were quite convinced by Xie Wenzai's inference. Cao Gengyun picked up another bottle of wine and poured most of the glass into the small wine glass in front of him: "I think this taste is the best, and it is the most similar to the wine from those Huren wineries." Brother Hai must have made people remember the recipe clearly, right? Let's make more brew according to this recipe, right? Take a jar out to try it during the Chinese New Year, and the rest can be stored in the cellar for two more years. ”

Xie Wenzai said: "My cousin mentioned that in the Hu people's winery, some good wines have to be cellared for three or five years, but unfortunately Suzhou Wei may not be able to wait. Therefore...... Every time you make wine, you only need to pick a part of the best wine cellar, and the rest is still sold out as usual. ”

Lu Bainian smiled: "This is a good idea. Actually, I think this first wine tastes pretty good. I drank it very smoothly. When you don't have wine to drink, even if it has shortcomings, you can drink it as it is. ”

Cao Gengyun gave him a blank look: "Don't point fingers." You know what kind of wine? Drink a yellow rice wine and you can get drunk for a day. If it's a little stronger, you won't be able to eat it. When you are in Guazhou, you only recognize the wine produced by the winery at the end of the street, and you can't stand it if you change to a stronger wine. How much wine have you ever drunk? I'm sorry to be an expert here! ”

Lu Bainian didn't care about his friends laughing at him, he just laughed it off.

Xie Wenzai smiled and looked at the two old friends arguing, and when he looked back at Haitang staring at the bottles of wine, he asked with a smile: "What is Tangtang looking at?" ”

Haitang looked up and asked him: "Uncle Cousin, although this porcelain bottle is very beautiful, at first glance, you can't see that it contains wine." I've heard that wine should be paired with glow-in-the-dark glasses, right? ”

This is all the saying of the ancients, where to find so many luminous cups now? It is customary to use a small white porcelain jar to enjoy the deep red wine by the way, but I have heard that some people use glassware to hold wine.

It's a pity that the glass workshop in Suzhou City has only produced two batches of glassware so far, and the finished product rate is not high, but it is not bad. Although the great food craftsmen have tried their best to make the utensils and the styles are simple, they are better because the shape of the utensils is good-looking, and the workmanship is also good, but the color is greener. According to the great food craftsmen, the glass they burned in the past was not so green, and it is estimated that it is a problem with the material. And the materials were all purchased locally by Haixi Ya's orders.

The color of the glassware is greenish, which cannot achieve the effect of being colorless and flawless, and when it is used to hold wine, it cannot highlight the red brightness of the wine, and the beauty is reduced.

Xie Wenzai felt that it was a pity. He originally gave his cousin Haixi Cliff an idea, saying that if the glassware from Suzhou City could not be compared with the products produced in the Western Regions and could not be sold at a high price, it could be sold with wine, one jar of wine with a glass wine glass, and ten jars of wine with a complete set of glass wine vessels, I don't believe that those caravans who were used to walking in the Western Regions in the past and may not be able to leave Jiayuguan in the future are not moved!

If Suzhou Weizhen can sell hundreds of wines, the cost of dozens of sets of glass wine vessels is not worth mentioning.

Xie Wenzai, Cao and Lu lamented the shortcomings of the glass workshop's products, and the regret that the good strategy of selling wine can only be greatly discounted, and the begonias on the side were stunned.

She actually approved of her cousin's idea. What's wrong with a little greener? Can it be greener than a glow-in-the-dark cup? Glow-in-the-dark glasses go well with wine, and so do glasses.

However, the glass will turn green, as if it is a problem with ferrous ions, right? To remove this green color, you must first remove the iron impurities in the raw material...... Forget it, although she has heard of the principle, but she doesn't know how to solve it, so it's better to leave it to the professionals to figure it out.

Begonia raised a new question: "Did the glass workshop only fire wine vessels?" Didn't plan to burn something else? ”
