Chapter 467: Blending Wine
Shan Wu brought the workers to the production area to arrange work, while Ding Yi taught the three children cultural knowledge.
The words 'heaven, earth and man, upper, middle and lower, east, south, west, and north' are the words that the three children will learn today. Ding Yi taught them the posture of holding a pen, asked them to write each word a hundred times, and left irresponsible.
Guillotine can be supplied for up to two days, and during these two days, a substitute for guillotine must be found.
The new wine must meet several requirements, the first must have a taste no less than that of the severed head wine, and the quality must be good. Second, the price should not deviate greatly from the severed wine, and the cost must be controlled. Thirdly, the raw materials for sake brewing must be easily found in Lethe Castle.
Guillotine is a blended wine, which is a puree mixed with a special flesh and blood fusion, refined with the secret method of cultivating the truth.
Ding Yi said hello to the old Zen master, and he called Pei Zhi and went to the market in Lechuan City. Pei Zhi pushed a car and followed behind Ding Yi, Ding Yi arrived at the market, he bought and bought along the way, basically did not ask the price, Pei Zhi wanted to help Ding Yi bargain, but Ding Yi refused.
Time is too precious to be wasted in this pointless bargaining. All kinds of vegetables and fruits in the underground world, Ding Yi bought some of them, and a trailer couldn't fit them at all. Pei Zhi returned to the winery two or three times, and finally bought all the purchased materials.
Ding Yi then went to the store that sold the cultivation materials, and bought some local precious spiritual materials, Ding Yi has a wonderful empty hand technique, he spends money like running water, but he does not spend his own money. In the morning, I bought all kinds of materials for 100 gold shells, and the money not only did not decrease, but increased some.
On the way back, Ding Yi was directly at a wine shop, not far from the drunken and confused, ordered lunch, and finally returned to the drunken and confused.
Back in the classroom, the homework of the three children had already been completed. They were fiddling with the iron arhats given to them by the old Zen master in the classroom. Ding Yi checked their homework and tested what they had studied in the morning. They found that they had mastered the words.
Ding Yi took out some simple mechanism parts, assembled them in front of the three children, and then disassembled them. He explained some simple mechanical knowledge to the three students, and pushed the parts in front of the children to assemble them themselves.
Ding Yi made a lot of improvements to the winery last night, setting up machinery in many places, and adding machinery and equipment in some places, whether it is conveyor belts, pulley sets or a few small processing equipment, which has made the previous handmade workshop very different.
The use of machinery has made production labor much easier, and the original heavy work has been greatly reduced. The workers, on the contrary, became a little nervous.
It doesn't make sense at all.
What is the purpose of opening a workshop and doing business? Isn't it just to make money?
This new proprietor is breakfast and reduced labor intensity, what is this purpose in the end?
Shan Wu Shao had to explain to everyone, although he himself could not fully understand Ding Yi's purpose, but this was his job, and he could only preach what he knew to these workers.
This does not dispel everyone's doubts, but the workers are the proletariat with nothing at all, and they have nothing to lose. Besides, Ding Yi didn't say that he was going to lay off employees now, so with this generous salary and the arrangement of three meals a day, everyone decided to stay or stay.
When noon came, the guys from the wine shop came to the wine shop with food. Ding Yi ordered everyone to go to the classroom for lunch.
Usually these hard-working workers, lunch is either a rigid nest, or a batter lump that can't be eaten at all, but I didn't expect today's lunch, there is fish, meat, and rice.
Pei Zhi has a lot of work today, and he is also responsible for handling the firewood stacks in the winery, and Ding Yi asks him to solve the lunch problem outside by himself, and he can come back to report the bill. On the winery's side, Ding Yi gave Shan Wu full responsibility.
Ding Yi and the old Zen master also had dinner here, the old Zen master took two workers to be responsible for the sales of the winery in the morning, and the wine sold in the morning was less than ten gold shells, but he was still very meticulous in making records.
The two whispered and exchanged opinions with each other. Dai Shibao walked up to them. Ding Yi and the old Zen master stopped talking and looked at him with interest.
"Master Wu, Master Hong, the little one takes the liberty of asking, the little one also has a pair of children under his knees, I don't know if it's okay, let them come to the wine shop with the little one tomorrow......"
Dai Shibao's palms were all sweaty, his seat was in the front row, very close to Dawu and Xiaowu, he had a good relationship with Shan Wu, and when he saw Shan Wu and Pei Zhi, he brought their sons and nephews to work. He wanted to ask in the morning, and when he was working, he asked Shan Wu in detail, and when he was eating, he asked Dawu and Xiaowu what they were doing in the winery......
"That's it, no problem, you can bring them tomorrow, by the way, boys and girls are fine. ”
Ding Yi stood up and said to the other workers: "If you want your children to be educated, you can also bring the little ones tomorrow, and the wine shop will cover three meals a day." ”
It was rare for Immortal Master Wu and Immortal Master Hong to be so generous and merciful, and everyone cheered.
Ding Yi waved his hand. The crowd fell silent.
Ding Yi said to everyone: "Actually, I was also from a civilian family, and I also went to work in the workshop at a young age, so I had such an idea at that time......"
A worker boldly asked, "Master Wu, you are a cultivator, and our children will be able to do it in the future."
Is it like Master Wu?"
Ding Yi scratched his head and said: "It's hard to say, cultivation really has to pay attention to qualifications, your children, if you have talent in this area, that is naturally okay." If you don't have qualifications, you can't do it. However, being able to read and hyphenate and write and calculate is also a kind of ability, and it will always be better than you bitter haha in the future, right?"
The worker saw that Ding Yi's tone was sincere and he spoke kindly, and hurriedly said: "The two immortal masters first rescued us and others, prevented us from being poisoned by Tu Xiaorong's bad people, and gave us such a good life. I also care about the growth of our next generation, we poor people have nothing else, only a cheap life, I didn't say it, what the immortal master asked us to do, we will do it, even if we want the little ones to die immediately, we will not have half a complaint. ”
Ding Yi said with a smile: "Anything that is dead or not alive, say something unlucky." As long as everyone has this heart, everyone can produce and live well, and cultivate your descendants to become adults and talents, then it is better than anything else.
But don't be too happy, don't forget your daily homework, and don't forget the words you were taught. The ugly words are said in the front, I don't remember a word, and I deduct two shells. Let you learn to write your name in the morning, but don't forget it all in the morning, there is still an hour of study time after lunch, and there are new words to learn, this is the drunken rule, everyone remembers. ”
Everyone said: "This is the immortal master who is good to us, teaching us skills, you have been good enough for the little ones, we will definitely learn well." ”
Ding Yi nodded, he called Shan Wu over, asked about the morning's work, and instructed him some matters, and then returned to the residence, and naturally there was an old Zen master to help take care of the classroom.
In the small building where Tu Xiaorong lives, Ding Yi vacated a room, which served as a special wine analysis studio, and he sorted all kinds of raw materials collected in the morning, juiced, crushed, and extracted...... Then label them one by one.
He went to the cellar again and fetched a large vat of freshly brewed wine. The blending test began.
Tongue spirit qualifications, Ding Yi also has it, and tasted all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and seasonings on the market in the underground world one by one, and memorized the taste of each ingredient with his heart.
Constant optimization, filtering, and selection...... This is a rather cumbersome procedure, with hundreds of substances cross-reacting and an infinite number of permutations. This also involves the allocation ratio of various materials. It is very troublesome to find the right blending ratio, and if it weren't for Ding Yi's talent for tongue and smell, the process would have been lengthy.
A large barrel of wine poured into the stomach, and the tongue tasted thousands of flavors. In the end, Ding Yi selected seven kinds of blended wines with good taste.
Ding Yi looked at the time, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and he hurriedly rushed to the classroom. Everyone was having dinner at this time, and this meal was arranged by the old Zen master.
When everyone saw Ding Yi coming in, they hurriedly greeted him.
Ding Yi waved his hand to everyone.
Ding Yi saw that Pei Zhi was also there, called him over, and learned that the large piles of firewood had been disposed of, so he nodded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone works in the winery, I wonder which of you likes to drink?" Ding Yi suddenly asked.
In those years, there was not enough food to eat, and there was very little alcohol in the homes of the poor.
Zhang Zhen stood up and said, "If you go back to Master Wu, I will be responsible for the wine and water in this winery, and I will drink a little bit every day." ”
Ding Yi called him to the front, and then called Pei Zhi and Shan Wu over.
Ding Yi took out a few bottles and five wine glasses, and invited everyone to taste each wine.
The old Zen master is a connoisseur, and as soon as the wine is entered, he immediately tastes the advantages and disadvantages of the wine.
"Xiao Wu, your blending skills are not bad, this wine is much better than that of the broken head wine. ”
Zhang Zhen also knows a little bit about wine, and after a glass of wine, he is also full of praise for Ding Yi.
Ding Yi said angrily: "Don't bring me a high hat, you have to put forward some opinions." ”
After everyone drank a variety of blended wines, Ding Yi asked everyone to tell their experience of drinking this wine.
After a while, he said to Zhang Zhen: "Zhang Zhen, you don't need to make wine, you can learn blending techniques from me in the future." You're the drunken chief taster from now on. ”
Zhang Zhen was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
Ding Yi said to everyone again: "Don't be hot, Shan Wu them, our drunken wine, sooner or later we will sell Lechuan City, you all give me a good job, and let you go to other places in the future to be a supervisor." ”
Everyone applauded loudly, Ding Yi asked about everyone's learning, and learned that the old Zen master had already tested it, Ding Yi nodded.
Ding Yi called a few people to stay, and the others asked everyone to get off work.
Ding Yi asked Pei Zhi to take a few people, and while there were still two hours before dark, he hurriedly went to buy some raw materials for blended wine. At the same time, he led the others to the original place where the firewood stack had been, where he cast spells again and built a large factory.
This will be a drunken blending workshop. Ding Yi set up a laboratory here, with Zhang Zhen as the supervisor for the time being.
In front of Zhang Zhen, Ding Yi refined many large juicers, pulverizers, agitators, crucibles, reactors, extraction vessels, and distillation vessels......
Ding Yi is very familiar with brewing, he explained the use of various utensils to Zhang Zhen in detail, and made some tools and equipment on the spot to teach these workers to use.
Bae Zhi
They hurried and hurried, and finally returned to drunken confusion before dark. A few little guys, Shan Wu and Pei Zhi, asked their co-workers to take them home.
As you know, these first few days are going to be busy. But Ding Yi was so good to everyone, and everyone was willing to pay for him when they thought of his kindness.
Ding Yi took out a dragon essence pill and melted it with water, and let everyone drink a small bowl.
"This is the Dragon Essence Pill, which means dragon essence and tiger fierceness, and it is an elixir that cultivators often take, so that everyone should stay up late. However, it is only the first two days, which will be a bit hard, and I will try not to let everyone work overtime and stay up late in the future. More than a dozen of you are the backbone recommended by Pei Zhi and Shan Wu, and you will work overtime today to give each of you an extra fifty flower shells. ”
Everyone said: "Follow Master Wu, even if we don't need money, we are willing." ”
Ding Yi saw that everyone was still in good spirits, and he didn't say anything more.
While waiting for Pei Zhi and them, Ding Yi taught those workers how to use the machinery and equipment, and at this time, Zhang Zhen had already arranged people and let them perform their duties and start work.
Ding Yi took Shan Wu, Zhang Zhen, and Pei Zhi to the side, watched it carefully, and then took Zhang Zhen to the laboratory.
Ding Yi told Zhang Zhen the recipe of blending wine, and asked him to learn blending, Shan Wu and Pei Zhi, and went to the cellar to bring back several barrels of new wine......
After the crushing, grinding, juicing, and extraction of various raw materials were completed, they were sent over, and Ding Yi instructed Zhang Zhen to blend and concoct......
Seeing that everything was on the right track, Ding Yi instructed Shan Wu and Pei Zhi to take care of it, and he returned to his residence and continued his work: refining and manufacturing.
The old Zen master went to the basement to find Tu Xiaorong and chatted for a few more hours, Tu Xiaorong and Liu Steward they were starved for a day or two, the old Zen master gave them a little food, they still had a little surplus value, Ding Yi didn't want to kill them so quickly.
The old Zen master came back and told Ding Yi about the news he heard today, and Ding Yi also told the old Zen master in detail what he had seen and heard today.
"Zen Master, since there is a Buddhist sect in this underground world, what do you think?"
The old Zen master sighed and said: "That's just a sect that only knows how to collect money, an existence similar to a Taoist gate and a shrine, I still stay by your side and be more comfortable." The old Zen master let out a long sigh and finally said.
Ding Yi pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you want to start a sermon here, I will fully support you." ”
The old Zen master said: "Let's talk about this, I don't have that mind yet." ”
Ding Yi nodded and said no more about it.
After being busy for most of the night, Ding Yi went to the new workshop to check it again, and found that everyone had been able to skillfully use various tools, utensils, machinery and equipment, and spot-checked the wine blended by Zhang Zhen, and the quality was not bad.
Ding Yi was very satisfied.
He called Shan Wu and Pei Zhi out, and the three of them came to the grain warehouse. The main raw materials for drunken brewing are konjac and black potatoes, which are actually the staple food of the poor people in Lethe City.
Ding Yi has tasted both things, coarse grains, and the taste is not too good. Ding Yi asked Shan Wu to get 100 catties, took out some meat floss fish sauce, other ingredients, condiments from the storage bracelet, tried to fry and fry, and experimented with different methods, and finally baked black bread, which made Ding Yi feel that the taste was okay. Shan Wu and Pei Zhi also thought this black bread was delicious.
So Ding Yi made all the remaining ingredients into brown bread.
Before five o'clock, there were already workers, with their children, who came to work in the dark, with torches.
Shan Wu asked them to wait in the classroom first, and at the same time brought them the black bread they had just made. These workers, where can they sit still, let those little ghosts stay in the classroom, they hurriedly ran to the workshop to help.
Dawu, Xiaowu, and Pei Xinyuan were also picked up by workers, although they were not the oldest, they came to school here only one day earlier than other children. However, they are still the seniors of these children, and at the moment they also show the majesty of their seniors, and follow what Ding Yi taught them, so that other children can follow the rules.
Almost all the teenagers, when they were at home, were told by their old man and explained them repeatedly. The one who wants to teach them is the immortal master. If they make the immortal master unhappy, let alone go to school in the future, maybe their old man's job will be lost. The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age, and these teenagers are very trouble-free.
The workers told their families about their situation in the drunken liquor shop, and no one was not hot.
"Before he got to work in the morning, Wu Shi asked Brother Shan Wu to get back hundreds of kueh zi, so that everyone could eat openly, saying that only when they were full did they have the strength to work...... I ate eight in one sitting, and by noon, my bowels were all blue. At noon it was rice, and there was fish and meat, where could I eat so much...... In the evening, it was shredded meat noodles, and Hong Shi instructed the ...... sent by the old Dongcheng noodle restaurant to tell his wife and children about his harvest today.
"Boss, you can't just take care of yourself, you should bring some back, let's satisfy our hunger, this is a good thing that can't be eaten on the Sun Festival. The worker's wife complained.
The worker said: "Master Wu and Master Hong are all true immortals who have attained the Tao, they have already considered it, they promised that we can take our children to work, Xiaoshanzi and Cuihua, they can all go to learn skills tomorrow, Brother Shan Wu's Dawu, Xiaowu, Uncle Pei's nephew Xiaoyuan, they all went today, you say, isn't this a great thing?"
