Chapter 155: Brewing

The carriage accelerated and ran towards the farm.

Jiang Zhixia heard that everyone was cleaning grapes in the front yard, so she asked Xing Zhuangtou to drive the carriage to the front gate of the back yard. She entered the main room from the back garden.

After Xing Zhuangtou called Uncle He and Aunt Zhang over, Jiang Zhixia told them about the proportion of frosting to be added to the end of making wine.

Originally, Jiang Zhixia only planned to put frosting with Uncle He and Aunt Zhang.

However, what happened today made her begin to trust Xing Zhuangtou’s father and daughter.

This winemaking is just a small deal.

If she is kidnapped today, she will lose not only money, but also her life.

She can't control others. If it were her, she would definitely not have let herself be insulted.

So it's just a deal. If she really takes a look at it, she doesn't care even if the deal is left by Xing Zhuangtou.

"The most important step in this wine is to add frosting. Frosting can increase the alcohol content and prevent it from becoming sour. Don't tell me this. For the people in front, I just need to add a secret recipe. Save them to make it even after they go home. Then we can't sell it for money."

The method of making this wine is so simple that it can be seen at first glance, so it can only be mysterious.

When everyone heard that the wine was so simple, they told them the secret recipe so casually. They all felt trusted and became even happier involuntarily.

"Screen and clean according to what I told you before. After drying, crush the grapes and put them in the jar. Then, move the jars to the room in the small courtyard with a cellar. We are responsible for adding sugar to it. After adding sugar, we will seal it with cloth. This does not have to be sealed with mud and wax oil like a wine shop. This is just sealed with cloth and then cover it with a lid. This needs to be breathable, otherwise it will be fried."

In Jiang Zhixia's previous life, she heard from her friends that she had no experience when she first brewed wine. Not only did she seal it with plastic wrap, but she also twisted the lid tightly. In the end, the bottle was fried.

Everyone stared at her carefully and listened to her words carefully.

"After the wine is sealed, put them all in the cellar dug before. The wine will be ready after fermenting for about a month. After opening, you can go to sell it. Before selling, you must buy a coarse cloth and put it in a pot and cook it, then dry it, and then use it to filter it. After filtering, the wine water will be stored in a delicate white porcelain jar. Then it needs to be sold as soon as possible. In the whole process of brewing, remember not to touch raw water, all these utensils need to be steamed and disinfected."

Jiang Zhixia talked carefully about the issues of paying attention to making wine.

This is the first time she makes her own wine. Now there is no preservative and the storage conditions do not meet the requirements of her previous life.

So the wine was stored for too long, and she was worried that it would deteriorate.

"Okay. girl."

Everyone answered in unison.

"Okay, let's start making the first batch of wine. I will teach you how to operate it today. Later, you will rely on Xing Zhuangtou to take charge of the overall situation. If you see that your character is really good, put the frosting and move it to the yard and let them help you stir."

After Jiang Zhixia finished speaking, she personally demonstrated.

She first took everyone to the small yard where the cellar was dug, and asked Xing Zhuangtou to go to the front yard and took a pile of dried grapes.

She repeatedly confirmed that the last time she washed it with a cool white boiler and dried it.

In fact, today's grapes are not subject to much air pollution and do not have too much pesticide residues, so it is okay to just wash them with clean water two or three times.

However, Jiang Zhixia made the first brewing, so for the sake of safety, they should clean it with a cool white pot for the last time, and then put it on the curtain to dry.

Jiang Zhixia took the dried grapes, and she picked the grapes one by one, crushed them and put them in a jar. When they were eight cents full, she added frosting and stirred them with a wooden stick that had been boiled in clean water and dried.

Finally, wrap the jar with cloth, tie it with a thin rope, and then cover it.

"Write the date on the jar, mark it, put it in the cellar to store it, wait for a month before opening it."

Jiang Zhixia stretched and stretched.

It's so tiring to do a job...

Everyone carefully saw each step, and then went to the front yard to supervise and provide guidance.

In the front yard, there were already buyers and hired people with quick hands and feet doing preliminary selection and cleaning.

After Uncle He and Aunt Zhang and Xing Ruolan went to the front yard, they instructed them to crush the grapes and put them in the jar. Then, they let the purchased servants move the jar into the room in the small yard in the back yard.

Jiang Zhixia taught Xing Zhuangtou to put frosting inside.

Fortunately, the job of putting frosting is not difficult, and one or two people are completely busy.

In this way, everyone started to get busy.

At noon, Aunt Zhang made a simple lunch in the kitchen alone.

After cooking, all the people who work have lunch and continue working.

The sun slowly went west.

Xing Zhuang looked up at the sky. Then he said to Jiang Zhixia: "Miss, I'll send you back. I can take care of you in the village. It's not difficult to put on frosting. I can do it alone."

Jiang Zhixia saw that it was indeed a little late, and it would take some time to rush back to the capital. It could not be later than the curfew, as the city gates would be closed.

"Okay. Let's go back now. You don't have to send it. You'll send it back and come back. It's a waste of time. What's more, you have to look at the things in the village. I heard Uncle He say that he has learned to drive the carriage from you. Just let him go back. As for the carriage,"

Jiang Zhixia hesitated for a while.

Because he bought a farm and wanted to make wine, in order to buy cotton, he gave all his silver notes to Chu Tiankuo - although he didn't want it. But he wanted to buy cotton and didn't charge money, so he was embarrassed to ask for things.

So what she has now is only Han Wenxuan’s mercury money. It is naturally not enough to change to a big house - not to mention that finding a house also takes time, and she is busy now.

In addition, it was just for storing the carriage, which was not an important matter. So she let it go.

"Please put the carriage at my neighbor's house first. His place is relatively large."

Jiang Zhixia thought about it and put the carriage at Chu Mufeng's house. It should be okay to store it temporarily.

"It just so happens that I will ask Uncle He to bring some more frosting tomorrow. There is nothing wrong with the capital recently. Let Uncle He help you for a while. When Uncle He returns, you can send him back to the capital."

In the capital, there is no need for manpower recently.

Xing Zhuangtou thought that in the past few days, he probably sent more grapes. With Uncle He's help, it's indeed faster.

Therefore, it should be done.

Jiang Zhixia asked Xing Zhuang to report the account again, and then she thought while giving the silver notes.

I have invested too much recently, but it will take some time to earn.

Han Wenxuan’s mercury money cannot be moved too much, and he has to keep it for the chance to buy books.

It seems that I will save money recently.

Xing Zhuangtou went to the front yard and called Uncle He, Aunt Zhang and Xing Ruolan to the back yard.
