Soon, the production line of the winery was set up.

I have to say that the efficiency of the public-private partnership is still very high, and Xi Zhong came forward to quickly get the production plant, which is in a dock fort outside the city, because it belongs to the government industry and involves confidential technology, so the surrounding area must be guarded.

The workshop is divided into three parts, the alcoholic fermentation workshop, the purification workshop and the filling workshop, and the production personnel are recruited by the Zhongshan County Shouxin Evaluation, and some loyal and honest Yunzhou locals are looking for them to do it.

Once everything is ready, the brewery begins to make wine.

The cycle of traditional grain liquor is very long and needs to be cellared, but the cycle of liquor brewed by blending method is more, and various auxiliary materials can be added according to actual needs.

Ten days later, when the first cellar was opened, Guo Jia and other high-level officials of Yunzhou appeared on the scene.

This pit was built by Guo Jia according to the standards of later generations, and it is much more advanced than the traditional pit pond.

It's open!

A worker shouted, and more than a dozen people worked together to lift the lid of the cellar, and a rich aroma of wine came to the face.

It smells so good!

Everyone couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

It was also the first time for them to see sake brewing.

Several workers scraped the liquid floating in the pit into the kegs, then filtered it a little more and delivered it to the crowd.

This procedure is the head of the wine, which has a small yield and a very high degree.

Wine!

The officials who had tasted the wine couldn't help but get excited.

The traditional wine-making technology is low, and the liquor produced is very low, so they are shocked when they taste Guo Jia's purified liquor.

But except for Hua Tuo, no one knows how Guo Jia brewed it, and now he has seen it with his own eyes and tasted it with his own eyes, which is amazing.

This wine is fifty or sixty degrees, to say the least, and it is the strongest wine they have ever drunk.

"The lord is really knowledgeable, and he is also proficient in winemaking."

Xi Zhong said sincerely.

Guo Jia shook his head.

Generally, the head of a good wine should be at least 70 degrees or more, and the degree of the head of this cellar is far from enough.

It is not enough that the raw materials and technology are not mature, and the new cellar can still produce 50 or 60 degree wines, which is also very good.

Guo Jia suddenly beckoned to the master who made the wine.

"What are your brewing materials?"

The master immediately took a basket containing crops such as sorghum grains, which are the raw materials for traditional winemaking.

The variety is too single!

Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "The main problem now is to increase the production of alcohol, and to put more raw materials that can be fermented, such as sweet things such as sugar cane and seasonal fruits. ”

This......

Several winemakers looked at each other.

The reason why Xin Ping found them is precisely because they are traditional winemakers with certain winemaking skills.

After a long time, one of the masters smiled bitterly and said: "General, although the sugarcane fruit produces a large amount of wine, the quality is not good, there is a miscellaneous taste, and it is not as delicious as the wine brewed from grain." ”

Not bad!

Everyone nodded.

In these years, the raw materials for sake brewing are very simple.

Hehe!

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "What is brewed now is not considered wine, and it will be the finished product we need after the final filling." You just have to do what I say, increase the raw materials for brewing, try to make more raw liquid, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Guo Jia is the lord of Yunzhou, and they have to do whatever they are asked to do.

After seeing the production workshop, Guo Jia took people into the distillation workshop, which is the core area of alcohol purification, so only a few high-level executives such as Xi Zhongxin Ping came in.

Lord!

Seeing the cumbersome pottery pipes in the distillation workshop, everyone couldn't help but feel a little stupid.

It was the first time they had seen these things.

Hehe!

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and ordered someone to start heating the puree to store the alcohol.

Here, Guo Jia uses the distillation method.

The distillation method can extract 95% of the alcohol, but the current equipment is relatively rudimentary, and it can be stored up to about 80% at most.

Although it can't achieve high purity, it is just winemaking, not chemical industry, and Guo Jia is already satisfied.

Soon a barrel of puree passed through storage, and only a small half barrel of colorless liquid came out.

This is......

The crowd hesitated.

"This is a high-strength liquor!"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, took out a small cup, scooped a small cup, and handed it to the people around him.

A high-strength liquor?

Looking at the colorless liquid in the cup, Xi Zhong couldn't help but sniff it.

It smells like a lot of alcohol!

This is beyond the scope of the wine.

Xi Zhong hesitated for a moment and took a small sip, but immediately sprayed it.

It's so strong, it's so strong!

Xi Zhong couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and he couldn't care about Lord Shi's appearance.

All he felt was a fire in his mouth.

Seeing Xi Zhong's appearance, everyone couldn't help but take a step back, saying that they didn't dare to taste anything.

Give it a try!

At this time, a big man stepped forward, it was Guan Yu.

After being transferred back to Yunzhou from Biansai, Guo Jia did not arrange other jobs for Guan Yu for a while, but only sealed a general's idle errand.

Guan Erhao wine, I heard that Guo Jia was going to the winemaking workshop, and I also came with him.

Xi Zhong was choked by the high-purity liquor, and Guan Yu was a little eager to try.

Good!

Guo Jia also handed him a small cup and said with a smile: "Don't drink too much!" ”

Guan Er smiled proudly, he was born with a large amount of alcohol, and he was not drunk with a thousand glasses of wine, even if it was the wine brewed by Guo Jia, it was rare to get drunk.

The lord only handed him a small cup, which made Guan Er a little unconvinced, and drank it all at once.

Yes!

This glass of wine went down to his stomach, and Guan Erden felt that his chest, abdomen and throat were about to burn.

His face was already a little red, and after drinking this cup, he suddenly turned a little purple.

What wine!

Guan Er laughed a few times, strode over, picked up the scoop and drank it bitterly.

After only eating one scoop, Guan Er felt a little top-heavy.

The general has a good amount of alcohol!

Everyone couldn't help but praise it.

What a force!

Guan Er staggered back a few steps, his face flushed and almost burst into flames.

He couldn't help but tear off his shirt, revealing his majestic upper body, only to see that his upper body was also red and about to burst into flames.

"Lord, good wine, good wine!"

Guan Yu laughed a few times, and suddenly softened to the ground.

Second brother!

Dian Wei on the side hurriedly stepped forward and sniffed, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was drunk.

Hehe!

Guo Jia couldn't help but smile slightly.

The purified alcohol must be around 80 degrees, and even if Guan Er has a large amount of alcohol, he has to put it on the ground even if he drinks a scoop directly.

"Send General Guan back to rest, give this barrel of wine to the master who fills it later, and let them add some accessories according to my method and then divide it into small jars, and everyone will share one point, which can be regarded as a celebration."

Guo Jia said.

Although I was not very satisfied, I was able to make my first barrel of sake.
