Chapter 101: The cellar of Qishan Winery

Yang Shaozong must have been shocked by the news that Song Fangzhou said, but he didn't care for long. Although he knew that these people would have a great impact and turmoil once they returned to Qishan, he did not think too much about this issue.

The next morning, he went to work normally and went to the Qishan Winery in Songzhuang early in the morning.

At this time, Qishan Winery was just a real small winery. It was a wall that enclosed more than 20 acres of wasteland, even if it had a factory site, and six factories were built, it had a production base.

A few days ago, Yang Shaozong had signed an expert responsibility contract with Fei Lao Fei Changgeng on behalf of the commune. In addition to the basic treatment to be given in accordance with the "Regulations on the Management of Treatment of Returning to External Experts", as long as Fei Lao and his expert team completed the formula within two years and brewed good wine in Qishan, and this formula can be put into modern production on a large scale, they can get a 100,000 yuan responsibility bonus, Fei Lao got 30,000 yuan alone, and the other seven people shared 70,000 yuan per share.

After all, Mr. Fei is Mr. Fei. After all, he is the most influential winemaking master in Jiangdong Province, and he has many disciples in the province.

After half a month of investigation, Mr. Fei selected the winery in Songzhuang, which was next to the Qishan Reservoir, and selected seven people from his network of relationships to help. In addition to the old Mr. Su whom Fei chose in advance, he also hired a deputy chief engineer from Yuhuchun Winery to be responsible for winemaking equipment engineering. He found a national wine taster from the old employees of Tangchi Winery. Mr. Fei's third son and third daughter-in-law were also called by him. His third son was a provincial winemaker, and his daughter-in-law was originally the deputy director of the laboratory of Yuhuchun Winery.

A team of eight people, one national winemaker, one national wine taster, one deputy senior engineer, two provincial winemakers, one intermediate professional technician, one old purchasing agent at Yuhuchun winery, and one former head of the supply and marketing department of Qinghe winery.

Su Lao Su Jinguo is not only a provincial winemaker, but also a qualified winery workshop director and deputy director, and he is in charge of production all year round.

These eight people were carefully selected by Fei Lao, including procurement, testing, seasoning, ingredients, brewing, blending, and marketing, and basically set up a state-owned factory-level team for Qishan Winery.

After all, he has been working for so many years and has been a factory leader for many years. He is very proficient in human affairs. Mr. Fei is very good at vacancies and other special tasks such as financial accounting cashiers are vacant. He does not select people, but asks the Economic Office of the Qishan Management Committee to select people from Qishan to fill in the filling.

It should be said that the cooperation between the two parties has been very pleasant so far.

Mr. Fei and Mr. Su also found several masters to take charge of taking apprentices at Qishan Winery. The rest recruited more than 60 male members aged 20 to 40 from Qishan, and added two college students majoring in food and chemical engineering who had just been assigned to Huaixi Cold Storage Factory.

Qishan Winery slowly took shape like this, and began its first step to build the first batch of cellars in Songzhuang.

After driving the car to the gate, Yang Shaozong had just got off the car. Mr. Fei, who had been waiting for him, came out to greet everyone. Yang Shaozong stepped forward and shook hands with everyone one by one, and smiled and said, "Everyone is here, let's go to the cellar first!"

Old Fei smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just waiting for you to say this!"

Immediately, these old comrades from the winery took Yang Shaozong to the first cellar under construction in the factory.

The soul of a winery is the cellar, which is just like making steamed bun bread. Bread made from different yeasts always have a different taste. The secret of a cellar is that all cellars need cellar mud. These cellar mud generally come from other cellars, preferably cellars of the same factory. If you start from scratch, you need to introduce cellar mud from other wineries.

With the cellar mud, mix the local new mud to allow the new mud to ferment into sufficient cellar mud to make the cellar.

The fermented bacteria in different cellars are different, especially in different climatic conditions, and considering factors such as geographical environment, especially local soil factors, the best way is to use the cellar mud of Qihe Winery first.

Mr. Fei met some people at Qihe Winery, but from the leaders and employees of Qihe Winery all disagree to transfer part of the cellar mud to Qishan. In desperation, Mr. Fei had to use his interpersonal relationships to select cellar mud from Gujinggong, Huizhou, the upper reaches of Qihe River and Tangchi Winery downstream, because in the early years, the cellar mud of Qihe Winery was made by neutralizing the cellar mud from these two wineries.

In addition, Mr. Fei invited some other well-known wineries to transfer some cellar mud to do experiments, and even brought some cellar mud from Wuliangye winery.

After the local fermentation, some of these cellar muds are single muds, and some are mixed with multiple muds. More than 20 small cellars will be built to make experimental wine brewing. Finally, we will see which cellar is the most suitable and has the best effect locally. Finally, we will choose the cellar mud of this cellar as the mother mud and continue to ferment a larger cellar.

After walking around the cellar that had been formed in the winery, Yang Shaozong asked Fei Lao: "How much wine can these cellars make?"

Mr. Fei replied: "The amount of ordinary wineries is around one or two tons. The first wine can be produced at the end of the year. After pinching the head and the tail, let's see which cellar has better brewing effect."

Yang Shaozong couldn't help asking: "Old Fei, according to your experience, which cellar do you think will be better?"

Mr. Fei thought for a while and said, "You can't say it's true. I've been thinking about it for a lifetime and I haven't figured it out. Of course, there is basically a general rule, mainly based on your local climate and humidity. I walked around Qishan and I can be sure that this place can make good wine, because your environment is semi-sealed and surrounded by mountains. After the Qishan and Qihe Reservoir are built, the local environment humidity is greater. After testing the local water quality, it should be said that it is very good. I summarize the environmental temperature here, which can basically be described as stuffy and humid, especially in summer and winter if the temperature is not too low, it would be better. It should be said that such an environment can definitely produce good wine!"

Hearing this, Yang Shaozong couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "That's the best!"

Old Fei said again: "Xiao Yang, Lao Su and I discussed it. We plan to use sorghum and glutinous rice to make wine with peas and wheat. Sorghum is best purchased from southern Sichuan, and glutinous rice is local, or the big fragrant glutinous rice from northern Hui. The recipe I mentioned to Lao Su is actually a century-old brand recipe from an old winery in Qinghe County. A master in our winery used to pass it down because it is different from our Yuhuchun road, and the old winery has never been useful. The master passed away earlier, and only Lao Su and I knew the recipe best. I feel that it should be used here. No matter what, we can at least try it!"

Yang Shaozong nodded and said, "Okay, then let's try it out first to see the effect."

Fei Lao smiled and said, "Think clearly, even our Yuhuchun winery only dares to use sorghum from southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan. Sorghum from southern Sichuan is very expensive and has a high cost. If the brewed wine cannot be sold at a high price, it will cost you a discount. For ordinary people, they may not be able to drink the taste. If you think the cost is high later, and then change to ordinary sorghum, there will be more or less differences in the taste, which may affect your reputation!"

Yang Shaozong smiled and said, "Then you can just tell me a more feasible solution!"

Fei Laodao: "There are many ways, the key depends on the positioning of your wine. There are nine types of wine, three in the top three in the top three. Generally, Yuhuchun can only be considered a middle-class work, and only dare to use sorghum from southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan."

Yang Shaozong thought for a while and said, "Actually, I hope it will be a high-end work, but the amount will be large!"

Old Fei said: "It is difficult to get a large amount. The raw pulp is to pinch the head and the tail after the pond. Take Wuliangye as an example. Sixty or seventy percent of the head and the tail must be thrown away. In the best case of luck, half of the raw pulp is left. These raw pulp that have been pinched can only be used as other wines because their taste is not enough. If you mix with flavors, that's just the same. Most people can't drink it, just like we will know it if we smell it!"

Yang Shaozong said: "That's simple. I will launch two brands at a time, one for mid-to-high-end and mid-range wines, and the other for mid-range and low-end wines. The two brands will not affect each other."

Fei Lao smiled and said, "Your method is also good. OK, since you are not asking to make a good wine king like Maotai and Wuliangye, sorghum from northern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi is enough."

After a moment of pause, he added: "Of course, we can also buy a batch of sorghum glutinous rice from the local area, do more experiments, brew several batches, and see the final results one by one. Winemaking is a pattern, but in fact, it is often just a chance, at most, you should try your luck with some experience and rules. If you want to brew good wine in Qishan, there is no big problem. If you can get good wine, you have to try your luck a little bit. If you touch it dozens of times, you will always encounter a good result."

Yang Shaozong smiled and said nothing.

He had no intention of actually brewing high-end wines like Maotai and Wuliangye that can reach the level of Yuhuchun and Quanxing Daqu. To be precise, he wanted to build a Qinchi that cannot fall into pieces.

His plan is hidden in his heart. If everything goes well, he hopes to complete the basic work of formula, cellar, etc. within two years, invest a large amount of money once in 1990 to directly increase the brewing capacity of 6,000 tons of raw pulp, impact the scale of 30,000 tons in 1993, and directly impact the bidding king in 1995.

After attacking the King of the King, he withdrew. CCTV and local satellite TV stations continued to invest in advertising, but it would not impact the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King

After having enough capital and strength, Qishan Winery will choose another development path - acquiring wineries with a certain popularity and history in other places to achieve diversified development in another sense.

In the end, he hopes to find an opportunity to operate a truly high-end liquor and achieve the comprehensive expansion of high, medium and low-end liquors.

The most interesting thing is that he wants to relax the channel system of Qishan Meat Factory, include Qishan Wine Industry, and market it nationwide through the entire channel.

This means that he does not need to recruit liquor dealers in various provinces. He has to bypass the dealer's direct control channel and go directly to the bottom sales store as soon as he leaves the factory.

Finally, he also wanted to build a large-scale membership store across the country, take all the terminals in his hands, build a truly comprehensive food empire, and occupy the entire Chinese market.

This is a big plan that he needs to realize step by step. If it is completed, Qishan will have an endless mountain of gold and silver, rather than a mountain of coal and iron.

At this moment, Yang Shaozong stood in the factory with a sense of awe and admiration, looking at the masters who returned to the outside world who were dedicated to building the cellar. Their expression was so sacred and focused, full of respect and affection for the winemaking industry, and could not tolerate any blasphemy, as if the work he was doing was the most beautiful, noble, professional, and most particular in the world...!

Some of the members and staff recruited from Qishan Commune are used to working in mud and tiles, but they can only work with each other and help with some hard work. Only those masters who are responsible for building the cellar, and some of the more concerned members can go down and work in a meticulous manner. Even so, the masters still repeatedly reminded them, for fear of any mistakes.

The people who came from Qishan may not understand it, but they understand it very well in their hearts... The cellar is the foundation of a winery, the soul of a winery.

Their work was so hard and particular, Yang Shaozong saw it, and he was both envious and had some special feelings. These masters used to pay wages of several wineries in Yuhuchun and Qinghe, which were about 100 yuan a month, and some retired a few years ago, but now their monthly retirement salary is only 60 or 70 yuan a month.

After they re-employed in Qishan, plus the allowances for middle and senior technicians, they would earn 300 yuan more every month.

They worked hard all their lives and accumulated experience and skills for their whole lives, which means that they had the highest income during this period. The Qishan people far away in Songzhou and Huizhou... These people may have to earn thousands of yuan in an hour. In just three days, people with a principal of 500,000 can become millionaires.

Do your career steadily and do things down-to-earth... you can only have such income. You can get such a terrible income by drilling into loopholes in a country. Perhaps, this is the so-called opportunity and the so-called destiny, which can be encountered but cannot be found.

Take Song Fangzhou as an example. For more than ten generations, all the poor and lower-middle peasants in the old mountain area of ​​Qishan. More than ten generations have been through hundreds of years of life and death, and one descendant has encountered such an opportunity.

Perhaps, the so-called destiny and the so-called opportunity... are actually just a bullshit excuse for the superiors.

The butterflies flaunt their wings, and the world is constantly changing, and the Qishan people inadvertently become Wenzhou people in another sense.

Standing in this simple factory, looking at the cellars that look like old wells and the busy workers, Yang Shaozong felt too much in his heart. He could not care about those who sold treasury bills in Song and Hui. Would others not care?

For most people, the world is so difficult and life is so difficult. The income of working hard for half a lifetime is not as good as the fraction of others' speculation in three days. How bitter would this feel?

At this moment, looking at these hard-working workers, what Yang Shaozong could feel was more of an injustice, the unfairness of the entire society, and the unfairness of the entire human world.

Although many of those nearly 700 Qishan people were very familiar to Yang Shaozong, and more than a dozen were his classmates, including Zhao Dajun's cousin Zhao Dagui, Xu Xiaoli's real sister Xu Xiaoling, and Li Guangsi... But Yang Shaozong did not particularly agree with them in his heart, but just felt that they could do this, which was also one of their rights.

They have the right to choose their own path.

Of course, they also have an obligation to build Flag Mountain together in ways they can accept.
Chapter completed!
