Liu Jiezhen pinched his nose and opened a sugarcane wine workshop, which was full of reluctance at first.

When Director Jianguo looked for him, everyone had just finished working in the sugarcane field. Those sugarcane fields with roots need to be re-cleared, ridged and loose, which are tired of people's work, but if they are not finished, the growth of sugarcane will be delayed, fortunately, the people of the Han and Tang dynasties at that time had a "rice transplanter", saving a lot of manpower, or they are not tired to death, they can not finish, this group of people from the Han and Tang dynasties are too able to open the fields......

Originally, the people of Hantang Group looked down on the sugarcane varieties at this time, and its sugar yield was too low!

But the roots can't be wasted, can they? If you have the time and energy to clean up the roots and replant them, it's better to let them continue to grow, a little bit of a calculation.

There are various international theories about the origin of sugarcane, some say that it originated in the South Pacific islands, some say that it originated in India, some say that it originated in Africa, and some say that it originated in Mingda6, but there is no unanimous opinion.

However, according to the "Chu Ci Summoning Soul Fu" of the Chu State at the end of the third century B.C., there is a record that "the intestine turtle cannon lamb has Zhe award", Zhe is the ancient word for sugarcane, and Zhe award is a product of sugarcane, which shows that Ming Da 6 is one of the oldest sugarcane planting areas in the world.

The Hantang Group doesn't care about these bullshit things, they only care about how to carry more supplies to cross.

In this 1649, this 17th century, happiness is really in one's own hands, one's own.

For a long time, people in Mingda 6 thought that sugarcane could not be planted with seeds, but this time, Hantang Group is really ready to use sugarcane seeds to plant.

There is no way to do things if with tubers...... Sugar cane alone is the sum of these and other plant species, which is too uneconomical.

Hantang Group brings sugarcane seeds, which are the same treatment as rubber tree seeds, which are sealed in high-density plastic bags and stored in a freezer at minus 15 degrees, but the shelf life of sugarcane seeds is one year, and the shelf life of rubber trees is seven years.

The first disadvantage of sugarcane seeds, the shelf life is too short.

The seeds of the sugarcane were ordered at a sugar base in Taiwan before the crossing by the director of Jianguo An.

In that side of the world, everyone is accustomed to using the means of asexual reproduction, directly using the method of pressing and burying the rhizome, and even if you are lazy, you will directly bury a whole sugarcane in the soil, and grow it, anyway, the yield will be higher. Or stay in the roots. So basically, an acre of sugarcane field has to build about a ton of sugarcane.

But very few people have heard of the ability to use seeds. Again, it's just a matter of cost.

Sugar cane can bloom and have seeds. Although very few people see it.

In terms of production, it is rare to see flowering in sugarcane, but in fact, sugarcane can bloom and bear fruit under suitable environmental conditions.

The flowers of sugarcane are differentiated by the flower buds after the photoperiod of the top growth point of the plant, and the shape is a garden cone. There are 8ooo to 15ooo spikelets on a flower spikelet, each spikelet has 1 grain, and the seeds of sugarcane (actually fruits, but the seed coat and peel are not easy to separate) are the fruit of the cane, which is very small, about 1.5xo.5mm.

The flowers and seeds of sugarcane, whose main role is to reproduce offspring.

The flowering and fruiting of sugarcane is the main way for people to carry out sexual crossbreeding and breeding of new varieties. Otherwise, where did all those new varieties of sugarcane come from?

Asexual reproduction retains its edge, but it cannot innovate. If you can't innovate, it will always be the same, and it will only weaken. It's a matter of common sense.

Sugarcane is more likely to flower and bear fruit in tropical areas around 1o° north and south latitudes, and sugarcane is not easy to flower if the latitude is too high and too low.

Therefore, in Mingda 6, except for a few areas (southern Hainan Province, Ruili in Yunnan), a few varieties and special years, sugarcane generally does not have booting, and even if it is booting, it will not flower and bear fruit.

So very few people see it bloom and bear fruit, and there is a reason for that.

Therefore, the directors of Jianguo An can only choose to bring seeds.

These seeds have long been sown in the seedling fields, and they are all high-yielding and high-sugar sugar cane in the world, theoretically, up to 8 tons per mu.

Those seeds are planted and wait seven to eight weeks for seedlings to be planted, during which time special fertilizer is applied for seedlings...... This one was brought from that side of the world, and it was pulled down when it ran out. If you want to reproduce it, it depends on the exhibition of fine chemicals.

After seven to eight weeks, they are able to grow 4 to 5 centimeters in height and grow 5 to 6 leaves. At this time, they are transplanted again into a transplant nursery with a row spacing of 8 cm, and then they can be transplanted into the cane field after another seven to eight weeks.

The process of sugarcane seed cultivation is too cumbersome.

Now everyone knows why no one grows sugarcane from seeds in that world, but this method is suitable for the Hantang Group.

Yes, a qiē is all for a reason and can be explained.

But Liu Jie kept wondering and couldn't find a correct explanation.

Why do you want me to wait to start a wine workshop? I haven't done it at all, not to mention, how can the Zhangjia wine workshop be comparable to me?

Liu Jie returned home alone while pondering.

Although his home is not the original knotted house, and the eaves and beams are as magnificent, it is not as grand as the shops on the streets in the Chiji area.

But it is also a subordinate in the local area, at least it is all green bricks and green tiles to the top.

Arrived at the gate of the courtyard. He dusted himself off and coughed hard.

Knocking on the courtyard door with a stern expression, after the old wife opened it, he walked in with square steps. Went home.

This is a typical Ming Dynasty dwelling. A main house, wings on both sides, one entering, with a backyard. It's just that because it's far away from the neighbors, there is no high fire wall.

On the west side of the courtyard, there is a grape rack, and under the grape trellis is placed a bamboo table, a bamboo reclining chair, and a low table. That's where he had to rest when he came back. There was also a bamboo recliner here, and the old Red Fan Andre used to sit at that time - after that day, Liu Jie removed it -

After Liu Jie sat down, he let out a long breath, now is the most comfortable moment for an old man.

The old wife returned to the main house first, and when she came back, she held a tea tray in her hand and a terracotta teapot on it. Liu Jiexin took it with his hand, the heat was still just right, so he sucked it in a small gulp, inhaled the tea foam and spit it out.

The old wife sat down on the short table next to her, picked up the bamboo fan on the bamboo table, and gently fanned him.

"Is it okay to be in charge today? Don't get too tired—"

Liu Jie put down the teapot with a stern face and said, "What do you know?" Women's Taoist people don't talk much! ”

The old wife pouted, and in the evening, she would tell herself that she might encounter something unpleasant today.

The grandson ran out of the east wing, like a foraging chicken, and like a puppy that saw bones, and shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, toffee, toffee!" ”

Liu Jie smiled all of a sudden, and for a moment it was like a chrysanthemum blooming on his face.

"Don't shake, don't shake, grandpa's old bones are going to be scattered," Liu Jie took out a piece of toffee from his arms and said, "My grandson, what will happen after eating?" ”

"Rinse your mouth with water!"

The grandson bounced back, chewing on the piece of toffee with his grandfather's body temperature in his mouth. It's delicious!

The grandson didn't know that in the main house, there were dozens of pieces of toffee. That's what Liu Jie has counted many times.

When Director Jian heard that he had a grandson, he gave him a packet of toffee, telling him that it was good for his children to eat it, but he couldn't eat too much, and he had to rinse his mouth with water after eating, so he discussed this method with his old wife. Only take one piece out of the house a day, and give it when he comes back.

Son Liu Da is back. Seeing him slapping the dust on his body in the yard, and his daughter-in-law was also busy beside him, Liu Jie frowned, but didn't say anything.

When the old wife saw her son coming back, she also left herself and walked over to take her son's things. He also muttered about why it was so hard.

His son Liu Da came to Liu Jie's side and said happily: "Daddy, good luck today, they have more horse tickets, saying that it is overtime pay." That's great! On the way back, I picked up some pigweed! ”

At this time, the old wife splashed some water in the yard, which stirred up the smell of dust.

Liu Jie knew that he was going to have dinner, but he still had to take care of the three pigs in the backyard of the house first.

The father and son changed into short clothes, and they felt refreshed, this God, it is so hot in spring.

When they arrived in the backyard, the two began to eat pigweed.

Soon, a strong scent of grass filled the backyard.

Liu Jie, who was squatting on the ground, carefully warned the guillotine to send pigweed to the edge of the guillotine, and after his son saw it, he pressed the guillotine hard. The two of them are very skillful in cooperating...... No way, grandson likes to eat meat. When the pigs are slaughtered, they can sell two of them, and the remaining one will be their own.

"Son, the people of the Hantang Group asked us to open a wine workshop-"

"What!? How can my family get busy?! How else can I earn a ticket?! ”

"Son, let you do things for them - not for this, but to let them know that we are sincere - the ticket is not important-"

"How doesn't it matter? That can really be exchanged for rice—"

Liu Jie smiled and motioned for his son to continue the weed, but he was still carefully sending the pigweed.

"Son, you see how well the rice seedlings are growing, how can there be no rice in the future? Now we are doing things for them wholeheartedly, this thing is not easy to refuse - you will temporarily retire from the team tomorrow, just build roads, less you a lot, more you are not much, you go back to Fujian, let your eldest sister's house, the second sister's family, or the family next to you, can come, all recruited, preferably twenty or thirty people, preferably people who know how to make wine, this time may not be a small business! ”

When the son saw it, he pressed it hard.

Liu Jie saw that his son was dissatisfied, but he only smiled in his heart, he suddenly figured out just now, that is, their career is far bigger than his own - it shouldn't be that he cares about his own investment, seeing his son's stingy appearance, Liu Jie is also stingy -

The father and son put the pigweed into a large clay jar.

Liu Jie added rice bran and molasses to it, and his son held a pig food stick and stirred it vigorously. Liu Jie ruthlessly added two spoonfuls of real rice to it.

Liu Jie said: "Whether pigs are fat or not, lies in eating; Whether the family business is prosperous or not, it lies in taking refuge! ”

The three pigs, who were already in a hurry at this time, were slamming into the fence and screaming.

Liu Jie said: "Now is the right time, to do things is to have a measure, at this time, they need me to wait-"

After the father and son finished feeding the pigs, they cleaned their hands and began to eat.

The objects of the wine workshop are easy to prepare, the key is that the master of winemaking is difficult to find, which is really incomparable with the Zhangjia wine workshop, from the guy to Zhang Wanan, all of them are veterans with winemaking experience.

When the brewing house and the required items were complete, his son Liu Da came back with more than 50 people, who were either relatives or fellow villagers. There was only one man who had burned a fire in someone else's liquor workshop.

Liu Jie saw that there were so many people, and he was dizzy for a while, this Liu Da, when will I let him recruit so many people?!

When they met, everyone cried and complained, and there were riots, robbery, murder, and arson...... After the incident, there was a drought for thousands of miles. There will be no way to live.

Liu Jie arranged the two daughters' families into his own home, and the others went to the wine workshop to squeeze in first.

This hasn't started yet, and there are so many mouthfuls at once...... His son Liu Da also knew that this was his fault for being soft-hearted at that time, but fortunately, Liu Jie did not scold him.

At that time, Liu Jie was miserable, but Wu Yongmei was happy and said, "Liu Jie, don't be afraid, they can all work, right?" ”

Liu Jiexin said, how can they not work because they are all children of peasant families! It says, "Men and women can work......

"That's good, you can leave a few male laborers who can do physical work, and those women are enough. The rest go to work and let them earn wages to support themselves. ”

Liu Jiedao: "In this way, can this winery still be done?" ”

"Sake brewing is a simple thing, don't think about it so complicated......"

Liu Jie saw that the tall woman frowned, and didn't dare to speak more, so she arranged according to what she said. She is the wife of the director.

Wu Yongmei made a little transformation of the brewing soil equipment, changed the Zhangjia three-cylinder fermentation method to a five-cylinder type, and changed the main fermentation tank to four, which increased the vitality of the modern yeast and was conducive to volatilizing the advantage. In that world, factories generally use nine-cylinder ...... But Wu Yongmei calculated, in the absence of modern equipment, this is enough.

In some of the seals, Wu Yongmei asked some technicians to seal them with modified celluloid. It doesn't matter, the maximum temperature of the five cylinders is only 60 degrees, and it has no effect on the celluloid plugging.

For temperature control, Wu Yongmei directly brought the thermometer in her real room.

At the three positions of 35 degrees, 40 degrees, and 60 degrees on the thermometer, three traces were drawn with colored pens, and they were told to the eldest daughter of the Liu family one by one, so that she would command the fire-burners according to the temperature on the cylinder.

As for the thermometer, Wu Yongmei told her that she must protect it well, it is difficult to buy now, but it will not be like this in a few months......

The technician who helped her translate asked curiously, "Professor Wu, are these three temperatures?" It's too simple. ”

"Yes, temperature is just a secondary function, the key is the vitality level of the yeast."

In terms of the processing of raw materials, Wu Yongmei was too lazy to talk to them about the problem of proportion, and when making various slots, she directly asked them to manufacture them according to the integer standard. It is divided into standards that can hold exactly 30 kilograms, 50 kilograms, and 100 kilograms of water.

As for the acidification treatment and the addition of yeast and nutrients, for the time being, Wu Yongmei has to do it herself.

Liujia Liquor Workshop officially started.

According to the rules, the neighbors and peers should send congratulatory gifts tied with red cloth or red silk, and the host family should hold a banquet to entertain them.

But Wu Yongmei doesn't like this kind of scene too much, she has to avoid such things in the world over there, let alone now.

One qiē was handed over to Liu Jie to deal with by himself.

Wu Yongmei and the technicians who came to help her led three Ming women, and six Ming men started work directly.

Wu Yongmei instructed the Ming men to dilute molasses in a ratio of 4:6 in a hundred-kilogram wooden trough.

When the Ming man added four parts of molasses to it, Wu Yongmei made a mark on the wall of the groove with a knife and said, "Next time you add molasses to this position, you remember!" ”

The Akito man nodded immediately.

Then six more parts of water were added. Wu Yongmei made another trace and glanced at the Ming men, who nodded hurriedly.

Then the Akito men began to stir.

When completely diluted, Wu Yongmei took out a small bottle, which contained concentrated sulfuric acid with a purity of 98 percent, with a total amount of 20 grams.

She and the technician put on a mask and put it into the sugar solution.

She opened the cap and poured slowly along the tilted glass stirring rod, the technician using another glass rod to stir the sugar solution where the concentrated sulfuric acid had dripped from.

The Ming people were driven a little farther away. When they saw these two men in long white robes, they didn't know what they had put in them, but they saw white smoke coming out of them, and there were sizzling sounds, and everyone was horrified.

Wu Yongmei didn't care about their fears, and directly ordered the three Ming men to continue to stir with wooden sticks, and directly used them as a three-leaf mixer.

After stirring for about 20 minutes, it is visible to the naked eye that there is a precipitate in the sugar solution. Then, Wu Yongmei stopped, saying: "If there is sediment, stop, and then let it stand until the sediment completely falls to the bottom, and finally when you go to the tank, don't bring them in...... On the second slot, get rid of them! ”

The Akito men nodded.

Before going to the tank, Wu Yongmei ordered them to add some water to each cylinder, and then add fire to carry out the most primitive but most advanced air dissipation in this time and space, because Wu Yongmei put a small amount of disinfectant powder into the water.

When the raw sugar solution 6 continued to go up to the top of the tank, Wu Yongmei put the yeast and nutrients into it, and asked the eldest daughter of the Liu family to control the fire according to the temperature of 40 degrees.

After saying that, Wu Yongmei and the technician returned to the base, but the eldest daughter of the Liu family didn't want to sleep this night.

In the night sky, there was a constant saying, "Taller higher, take out some charcoal; Lower, lower, add a little charcoal......

Zhang Wan'an of the Zhangjia Wine Workshop, after participating in the thank you banquet of Liu Jiejia's family, after returning home, couldn't help laughing at his wife and said:

"The three cylinders in our workshop, this is the secret combination of 'heaven, earth, and man', what is the reason for their five cylinders? Besides, our koji is a combination of all kinds of things that absorb the essence of heaven and earth, where do they find it? Haha, four women, six men, how can they do the stove wheel? One mistake and it all ruins...... You have to be a master to make fire...... Haha, look at Liu Jie's wry smile on the wine table, it is very funny......"

But three days later, the Liu family wine workshop came out with wine.

After Zhang Wanan heard this, his eyes almost popped out. He calculates the time, no, even if they prepare in advance!

So he went to see it himself. Sure enough, the wine came out.

Liu Jie held a number of bowls, laughed, and poured wine into them, the pale yellow wine jumped happily in the white wine bowl, and the aroma of wine overflowed for a while......

Zhang Wanan didn't need to drink it, and when he smelled it, he knew that this wine was far more fragrant than his own wine, and he really didn't steal his own koji......

Seeing Zhang Wanan in the crowd, Liu Jie was even more happy, he took out a small jar, pulled off the stopper, and shouted: "Come, try the wine blended by this Hantang Group, the name is very strange, but the taste is excellent......

Zhang Wanan walked over from the crowd in embarrassment, only to see that the wine was golden in color and fragrant.

He took a sip, and there was a faint bitter taste of caramel at the base of his tongue, hum, what kind of taste is this?

He was about to spit it out and despise it, but then there was another bitter fragrance on the tip of his tongue...... He swallowed it unconsciously, this bitter aroma and wine aroma tasted so good...... But his heart was bitter.

"What's its name?"

"One Hundred Years of Solitude ......"
