Chen Liang explained: "Young master, the characteristics of the sauce-flavored wine are that the sauce fragrance is prominent, elegant and delicate, the wine is rich and mellow, the aftertaste is long, the fragrance is not gaudy, the low is not light, the empty cup fragrance still exists after drinking, even if it is left overnight, it will not affect the taste, this kind of wine has no local restrictions, and the people of the north and south of the river like to drink it." ”

This coincides with Zheng Peng's point of view, Zheng Peng said happily: "Yes, the two of you think, what is the biggest problem in winemaking now?" ”

"Lao Ping, you are more professional in this, you can tell me." Chen Liang said to Lu Ping.

Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, and said: "Back to the young master's words, now the wine, the main thing is to put more materials, resulting in food waste, if you put less materials, the purity and aroma are not enough, and if you don't pay attention to alcohol, it will become moldy and smelly." ”

"In fact, the main flavor of the wine escapes too quickly, and it tastes good when it is fermented, but the taste becomes lighter when it is made into wine." Chen Liang added.

"Oh, haven't you thought of a way to improve it?"

"I've thought of a lot of ways" Lu Ping said with a wry smile: "Young master, I won't tell you, the old slave used a lot of spices, such as cinnamon, cloves, and tangerine peel, but the wine that was brewed either deteriorated or tasted a little weird, so he had to give up in the end." ”

Zheng Peng thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me about the process of winemaking." ”

Chen Liang and Lu Ping glanced at each other, and then explained how they chose materials, how to make wine tanks, and how to ferment and make wine.

There is nothing to hide, the emperor rewarded himself to the new master, and when he left the palace, no one said anything to keep it secret, so 1510 explained the process in detail.

After they said, Zheng Peng understood that they made wine, and they were very particular about the selection of materials and fermentation, but there were no processes such as extraction, high wine roasting, and aging, and I remember that I had seen the introduction of the national liquor Moutai, a bottle of good wine, after picking just high temperature accumulation, one cycle a year, two feeding, eight times fermentation, and the brewing process of raising lees with wine, seven times of high-temperature roasting wine, many times of wine, and long-term aging.

There are multiple steps missing in between, and there is definitely a big difference in quality.

The Tang Dynasty wine culture is prosperous, and there are more than 100 kinds of famous wines, in addition to the national peace and security, good food and abundant food, there is also a characteristic is the lack of strong appeal of wine, which makes so many wines have room to survive.

Zheng Peng began to say step by step: "Two, the aroma of the wine is not enough, the taste of the wine is insufficient, the material is not enough once, you can cast it twice, once the fermentation is not enough, just ferment a few more times, pay attention to the temperature during fermentation, if the temperature is not enough, think of more ways, like those masters who make pasta, they will leave a piece of old noodles and knead them into new noodles, and the kneaded noodles will be more fragrant and smooth, and work hard in those wine tanks." ”

Chen Liang hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Young Master, you mean, you want to make a new wine?" ”

Finally understood, Zheng Peng nodded and said: "That's right, Young Master Ben either doesn't do it, and as soon as he does, he will do his best, and he invited the two of them here to use the influence of the two of them to develop a new wine." ”

"Young Master" Chen Liang said with some concern: "It takes a lot of money and time to develop new wine, and the developed wine may not be popular. ”

"It's okay, what Young Master Ben has is patience, don't worry about money, you just have to study hard, I will give you what you want, there is no upper limit." Zheng Peng said with a bold face.

I can't bear the children and can't bear the wolf, now these two brewing masters don't have to spend money, and the food is very cheap, these are small money, and when the good wine comes out, it is ten, a hundred times or even a thousand times the profit.

The most important thing is that Zheng Peng knows the general process, and the wine produced is not as good as the level of later generations, and it is definitely better than the current wine, because it has been ahead of the curve for more than a thousand years in the winemaking process.

It's an absolute crush.

Chen Liang said cautiously: "Young master, the two old slaves are very old, and they are a little unable to do heavy work, only the two old slaves, I'm afraid it is..."

"Simple" Zheng Peng snapped his fingers and said: "Don't worry, I will find a group of people with experience in brewing wine to help you, obey your command, you don't have to touch the heavy work, and arrange two maids to take care of your daily life, what's the problem?" ”

"It's gone, it's gone." Chen Liang and Lu Ping were so excited that their faces were flushed and they shook their heads again and again.

Winemaking is the biggest preference of the two, Zheng Peng spared no expense to develop new wine, for Chen Liang and Lu Ping, it is simply a great thing, to be able to do what they like, and also arrange for the maid to take care of the daily life, which is something that the two of them dare not think of.

Zheng Peng showed a smile on his lips, turned his head and said to Cui Er: "Steward Cui, did you hear what you said just now?" ”

"Back to my uncle's words, the old slave heard clearly."

"Arrange the two of you immediately, remember to be polite, and then rent a suitable place, the house should be big and secluded, let's go."

Cui Er responded, and immediately took Chen Liang and Lu Ping to arrange.

After everyone left, Zheng Peng sharpened a charcoal pen, took a piece of paper and began to draw.

Good wine has to be studied, but money can't be unearned, Zheng Peng made second-hand preparations, Chen Liang and Lu Ping led a group of people to engage in research and development to create a classic famous wine, and Zheng Peng got out the distilled liquor with low technical content, and first circled a wave of money.

Research this kind of thing, not only rely on investment, sometimes also need luck, a year and a half can be done, that is to go out to let the gold ingots fall from the sky hit the head, when bad luck, three or five years is not long, ten years and eight years are very common, that is, Zheng Peng can afford to wait, but I am afraid that Gao Lishi will not have patience, while making money while research and development, to business research is the most suitable.

To make distilled spirits, you first have to get the stills out, Zheng Peng first designed a set of distillation designs, and then disassembled the equipment and found someone to build it.

While painting and changing, halfway through the painting, Cui Er suddenly hurriedly said, "Uncle, Lang Jun and Miss are back." ”

"Who? You said that Lu Shu and her eldest father are here? Zheng Peng said with some surprise.

"Yes, there are also Miss Lin and the county lord, they have already arrived at the door."

Didn't you say you'd come back tomorrow? And Cui Yuan, what is the old boy doing here?

Zheng Peng walked out while thinking, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Cui Yuan walking in with his hands behind his back, Lu Shu, Lin Xun'er, Lan Duo and Cardinal followed him, and the group walked back with a smile and a smile.

"I don't know if my father is coming, and I won't welcome you from afar." Zheng Peng walked up and saluted.

I don't have a good impression of this old boy, but I have to give him face in public, if there is a word of disrespect for the elderly, it is estimated that everyone in the world will have to denounce him.

"Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty" Cui Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's all Shu'er, they always quarrel to come back, and the old man's head is so noisy that it hurts, forget it, the daughter who married out is like water poured out of the door, and she can't take it back, so I will accompany her." ”

Zheng Peng immediately said: "Where is it, the family doesn't talk about the two families, anyway, they live close, and they can visit the door at any time, Father, it's cold outside, it's better to sit down inside and drink a pot of wine." ”

"Okay, drink." Cui Yuan said with a smile.

Old and young suddenly become so easy to talk?

Zheng Peng was a little surprised, turned his head to look at Lu Shu, Lu Shu saw Zheng Peng looking at herself, a little shy, she looked at the meaning of inquiry in Zheng Peng's eyes, and shook her head gently, indicating that she didn't know what was going on.

In fact, Lu Shu didn't know that her eldest father Cui Yuan suddenly wanted to come over to see.

Lan Duo was not lonely, pulling Lin Xun'er to whisper, laughing while talking, and I didn't know what she was laughing at.

Lu Shu moved back to live, followed by a lot of slaves, carrying large bags and small bags, and moved back from her mother's house, the problem is that the new house is not good, how to settle so much.

As if seeing Zheng Peng's embarrassment, Cui Er whispered: "Uncle, Miss has sent someone to rent the house next door in advance, and accommodation is not a problem." ”

"Isn't that a family with the surname Xie living there? How to rent? ”

Cui Er said disappreciably: "Arrange a better place for them to live, and give them double the rent, and agreed on the spot." ”

It turned out to be smashed with money, which was a difficult thing for others, but in Cui Er's eyes, such a trivial matter was not worth mentioning.

It's okay, if they are all in Cui's Mansion for the New Year, it is deserted here, and Zheng Peng doesn't like it, he was most afraid that Lin Xun'er and Lu Shu would have a conflict, and the door would catch fire after the New Year, but he didn't expect both of them to show great tolerance and humility, which made Zheng Peng breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to enter the door, Ah Cai, who was guarding the door, suddenly hurriedly ran to report: "Young master, there is a Huang Gonggong outside the door, saying that he has something important to look for you." ”
