Chapter 528 Xujiayao
Although it was built for the winery, it can be regarded as an industry of the Xu family. In the future, it will not only supply its own winery, but also process ceramics for external parties.
Xu Jiaojiao specially found a stone, carved a few big characters: Xujiayao, and embedded it next to the kiln.
Next, Xu Laowu's main task was to purchase raw materials for ceramics, for which he had already inquired about the place.
Xu Jiaojiao also has a lot of things to do. For example, the house in the county town needs to be slightly renovated on the street front. It used to be a blacksmith shop, but now it can be turned into a wine shop. It needs to be customized with signs and counters, etc.
…
The first batch of gourds had been made, and Xu Jiaojiao arranged to start filling them with wine.
The wine jars were opened one by one, and the rich aroma of wine immediately filled the wine cellar. After a while, it floated out of the winery and spread in all directions...
A jar of wine starts from the crushing of raw materials, to ingredients, cooking, cooling, fermentation, fermentation, and finally steaming the wine, sealing and storing in storage. Some steps are repeated several times. This is a manufacturing process that really requires technology, and its process and technology
, I don’t know how many times more complicated than loquat paste. Xu Jiaojiao’s ancestors specialized in brewing wine in her previous life. It has been passed down from generation to generation without interruption. She has also made it many times herself, so she has the confidence to choose brewing.
industry.
The ingredients of liquor are extremely complex. According to Xu Jiaojiao's understanding, it contains more than 300 chemical components. In addition, there are many kinds of aromas and flavors, such as Fen-flavor, Lu-flavor, rice-flavor, etc. Xu Jiaojiao chose
The strongest sauce-flavor type, this is much stronger than the bland wine flavor of this era. It can be said that one is in the sky and the other is in the earth.
This batch of wine-holding utensils are mainly gourds and small-capacity ceramic bottles.
The gourds are all waisted gourds with beautiful shapes and a curved vine on the top lid. They are full of pastoral flavor. Most of these can hold about one to two kilograms of white wine. Small porcelain bottles are basically filled with five taels.
Yes, this is the first time Qingxi Xu Liquor has been sold to the public. I am afraid that customers will be a little worried about whether it tastes good or not. Small-capacity ones should be easier to sell.
They are being packed in the cellar and moved to the warehouse. These will be transported to the county town for sale tomorrow.
The workers in the wine shop were all at work today, and Xu Jiaojiao was also helping. As she was running in and out, she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. After a while, she heard Mrs. Xu Zhang calling her outside.
Xu Jiaojiao went out to take a look, and it turned out that Li Zheng had arrived, followed by many people, all of whom were famous in the village. These people all seemed to have a cold, and they all sniffed hard.
Li Zheng smiled broadly and said, "Jiaojiao girl, I have long heard that your wine will be unsealed today. Old man, I am here today to congratulate you. I wish your wine will sell better and better!" Xu Jiaojiao hadn't waited for a reply.
, and then added, "My dear, what kind of wine do you brew? Why is it so fragrant?"
"Sir, this is a recipe I got by chance in Bingyang City. It was passed down by someone else's family. After I came back, I improved and experimented for a long time before brewing this flavor! This recipe is very different from the previous one.
It can be said to be a completely different kind of wine, let’s call it Qingxi Xujiu.” Xu Jiaojiao had already thought of her words, “Elders, please wait a moment, I’ll bring some out for you to try!”
“If you want it, you must have it!”
"My dear girl, hurry up..."
Everyone responded hurriedly, they had been waiting for this sentence.
Xu Jiaojiao checked the number of people, trotted into the warehouse, and quickly came out carrying a dozen bottles of wine in a basket.
"Elders, please come to congratulate me. I will give you some wine to try." Xu Jiaojiao said while distributing it, "It is not easy to brew this wine. It is much more complicated and more expensive than the wine we drank before, so
I can only afford to give away such a small bottle, seniors, please don’t think it’s too little?”
"My dear daughter, you're welcome..."
No one cares about how much or how little it is at this time. The important thing is to taste it with your own mouth and see what this rich and fragrant wine tastes like.
"Ah... it smells so good!" Li Zheng was no better than the young man. He opened the cork first, smelled it, then closed his eyes and sighed, "I have never tasted such a fragrant wine in my life!" He said at this time
I was even a little worried, worried that the taste of the wine would not match the fragrance. Wouldn't that be a huge disappointment?
"Zi..."
Li Zheng took a sip, and suddenly, a mellow and gentle liquid hit the taste buds strongly, but it didn't have any spicy taste as expected. What it brought to people was only mellow, refreshing, fragrant, and a little bit...
sweet.
"Gudong!" I couldn't help but swallow it, and I felt a warm current radiating from my stomach to the surroundings. It seemed that my whole body was filled with heat and vitality. My bones were a little lighter, and all the worries left my body.
Only one word comes to mind: comfortable!
“Good wine!”
“Good wine!”
Mr. Rizheng was not the first to say this word. Several old men had already taken a sip and shouted out. Three of them couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled, and when she was about to say something, a dozen middle-aged and elderly people unanimously raised the bottle and took a second sip.
Xu Jiaojiao: Are you so impatient? How about some food?
It was impossible to serve food, and their family was not inviting guests today. After a sip, a dozen old men exhaled together, "Hiss..." They almost caught up with the brakes of the steam train.
"Dear little girl, you are so ingenious!" Li Zheng took a few sips and felt indescribably comfortable and warm all over his body, "You are not only the lucky star of your Xu family, but also the lucky star of our village.
Ah! This wine will definitely sell well! Our village will also become famous, and the most important thing is that everyone who drinks it will be blessed!"
"Your Majesty is right! The delicate girl is the most capable in our village and is a blessing to our whole village!"
"Let me tell you, the most blessed person is Liao Qing! No one is as blessed as this kid!"
"Oh, that's right. It's a pity that the boys in my family have been married a long time ago. Otherwise, why would I have to make money with Mr. Liao..."
Are you in a crooked building? Xu Jiaojiao put on her signature smile and said nothing.
Li Zheng turned around and glared, "You're still not satisfied even if you have good wine to drink, you're just talking nonsense!"
"Hey, yes, yes, let's talk about wine, let's talk about wine! My dear girl, isn't this kind of wine expensive? How much does it cost per pound?"
"Hey, dear girl, give me eight pounds first! Money is easy to talk about."
"Hey, my second one, I want five pounds!"
"My third..."
This is really unexpected. Aren’t you here to congratulate me?
However, when business comes to her door, Xu Jiaojiao will naturally not refuse, "Elders, this wine is indeed more expensive than ordinary ones. The wine you are drinking is the first batch of wine. It is considered medium-sized. It is simply packaged and costs sixty cents per pound.
