After pacifying Gaochang, the Tang army had no more war, just waiting for the next order from the imperial court, and all the generals were bored waiting for the new order to come.

"By the way, why don't you see Mo Jiazi, what is Mo Jiazi doing?" Hou Junji frowned and asked, Recently, they and the generals have often met and met, but only the Mojiazi Shenlong has not seen the end.

"General Qiyu, I heard that the Mo family is recruiting the craftsmen of Gaochang to go to the Tang Dynasty, everything was going extremely smoothly, and those craftsmen were extremely cooperative, but the wine workshop encountered a problem, and those stubborn winemakers did not hand over the secret recipe, nor did they want to go to the Tang Dynasty, thinking that the Mo family was solving the matter." Xin Fang'er gloated.

Anyone knows that once the Mo family obtains these two secret skills, they will definitely be rich, and now that the Mo family is frustrated, and it is the most valuable wine secret skill, Xin Fang'er can't help but feel a little gloating.

"A woman's kindness." Hou Junji snorted coldly, they are now the victors and conquerors, as long as an order is given, who in Gaochang dares to refuse their plan, and those who do not accept it can be killed, he does not believe that those workshops dare to resist.

Xin Fang'er said: "I want to come to the Mo family to cherish feathers, it is said that the condition of the winemaking workshop is that if the Mo family wants to move the winemaking workshop to Datang, it must find another livelihood for a group of grape and fruit farmers." ”

"Another livelihood!"

Hou Junji's heart moved, and he waved his hand and said, "Go and investigate, what is the Mo family doing?" ”

"Yes!" Xin Fang'er left reluctantly, now it is noon, the climate in Gaochang is extremely hot, and it is not a good errand to go out in the sun in this weather.

Gaochang City is located in the famous Turpan Basin in later generations, it is known as the three major furnaces, and the famous Flame Mountain in later generations is here every summer, and the high temperature can reach the daytime.

Fortunately, because Mo Jiazi broke the city with gunpowder, the battle of Gaochang ended ahead of schedule, otherwise it would have dragged on to the hot summer, and I am afraid that I would have suffered some crimes.

"It's still comfortable in Chang'an City."

Merton looked up at the scorching sun, only to feel that a wave of heat was coming, although the summer in Chang'an City was very hot, but it could still be bearable, not to mention the popularization of ice-making technology, which could make it easy for people to spend the summer.

Of course, such a hot weather brings not all the heat to Gaochang, but also sweet and juicy melons and fruits, and Gaochang's grapes are the best among them, so that every business traveler passing by Gaochang is full of praise.

"Young Master! The grapes have arrived. Zhang Mu hurried in the scorching heat, and behind him was a group of Gaochang fruit growers pulling a cart of freshly picked grapes.

"Sure enough!" Merton stepped forward to pick up a bunch of grapes, tasted it, and it was really sweet and delicious.

"Thank you Mohou for the exaggeration." The old winemaker said proudly.

"Let's get started"

Merton touched a handful of sweat and waved his big hand.

Suddenly, one by one, Gaochang fruit farmers pushed the grapes that had just been picked and put them into a strange house in front of them, ordinary houses only left doors and windows, and this house was surrounded by many dense holes, and it could even be said that it was ventilated on all sides, and it was covered with ropes, and the fruit farmers hung the picked bunches of grapes densely on the ropes.

"This batch is the first ripening grapes." The old winemaker was a little reluctant to say that the first batch and the best grapes in the past were exclusively used by the wine workshop to make wine, but now they were hung by Mohou in such a room full of pores to dry, if the grapes were broken, it would be a terrible thing.

Merton looked at the old winemaker's expression, he didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the climate of Gaochang is unique, the summer is hot, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large, the sugar content of melons and fruits is extremely high, and the grapes are put into the shade, which will only quickly evaporate the grape water, leaving sugar, as if it is preserved?" ”

The old winemaker couldn't help but light up his eyes, he naturally knew that if he could make preserved fruits, he could store and transport them for a long time, but the grapes were too much water, and once the preserved grapes were generally cut, they would soon spoil, but he never thought that Mo Jiazi would have a whimsical idea to hang the grapes in bunches, and specially invented a house to dry the grapes.

In this way, the grapes are protected by the peel and will not spoil, and the water can also evaporate in a short period of time and retain the sugar, which will not spoil, and even the sweetness can be even higher, just like frosted honey, which will not spoil.

Other winemakers were also skeptical, but thinking of Mo Jiazi's legendary experience, everyone was a little relieved, after all, what Mo Jiazi said had a certain truth.

Once the raisins mentioned by Mo Jiazi are successfully made, it is not only convenient to preserve, but also convenient to transport, and can be popularized by every household, which is much better than the income from making wine.

"The old man naturally believes in Mohou, but those fruit farmers have never seen this method, I'm afraid they will question Mohou?" The old winemaker hesitated and said that after all, Merton's method was the first time it had appeared, and these growers would definitely be suspicious, after all, this was the result of a year's hard work, and in previous years, they were purchased by wineries for money, but now they were allowed to stay in the shade to dry, if it didn't work, then they would probably lose all their money.

Merton spread his hands and said: "How could the first winemaker know the recipe of the wine, and it must have been questioned, until the sweet and delicious grape wine was made, which caused everyone to follow suit." The same goes for raisins! ”

The old winemaker couldn't help but be silent, and then Gaochang has been passed down from generation to generation, and the first person to make wine was accidentally discovered, and how similar is the situation today, but now Gaochang has just been defeated, and the livelihood of fruit farmers for a year is on the grapes, so they naturally suffer from gains and losses.

Merton waved his hand and said: "What's so difficult about this, you go and tell those fruit farmers that this year's Gaochang grapes will be fully collected according to last year's price, so that they can transport them with confidence." ”

"Thank you, Mohou!"

The old winemaker couldn't help but be happy, it is worthy of the dignified Mo family's generosity, so that those fruit farmers have no worries.

Soon, with a cart of raisins pulled into the shade to dry, Mo Jiazi's generosity spread throughout Gaochang City, and everyone knew that Mo Jiazi was not letting the workshop make wine, but preparing to dry raisins.

"Raisins!" Hearing Xin Fang'er's report, Hou Junji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Not bad! At present, the Mo family has requisitioned the wine workshop, changed to drying raisins, and even spent money to buy all the grapes, which have now spread throughout Gaochang City. Xin Fang'er frowned.

"Raisins! Forget it, let the Mo family toss! Hou Junji waved his hand and said, the last time he went west to Tuguhun, Mo Jiazi made a green storage fodder, and this time in the west to Gaochang, it is not surprising that Mo Jiazi made raisins again.

And the thing that really makes Hou Junji concerned is another thing, that is, the good news of the Western Expedition army should also arrive in Chang'an City.
