Those two people have known each other for many years. How could they betray each other so easily?
In short, she felt unreliable.
Lin Jiuniang shook her head, smiling meaningfully.
It all depends on who is the taller one!
He reached out to pat Lin Li, "Don't worry, I have arrangements. Let's go home for dinner."
In the next few days, Lin Jiuniang became busy again.
Apart from going to Huangjia Village to see the cotton seedlings every day, I spent the rest of the time tinkering in the wine shop.
As for those who came to cause trouble, she dealt with them all with thunderous means.
On this day, the carpenter and the blacksmith delivered something to her winery.
Without saying a word, she immediately asked someone to assemble it.
After she finished it, she called Chen Haiping, who was in charge of brewing, to discuss brewing.
Since the opening of Ta Lin Kee Winery, soju has been the best seller.
From this, she discovered that the people of Gyeongju liked to drink strong liquor, which was a business opportunity for her.
Nowadays, the wine on the market is not strong enough, including Baijia's sorghum wine, which is just mediocre, so when the shochu processed by her comes out, so many people will like it.
This place borders Beiliang. It is located in the north, the weather is cold, and the folk customs are strong. These people prefer strong drinks.
If she can make a liquor stronger than soju, she will definitely dominate the liquor market in Gyeongju, and maybe even break into Beiliang.
She had inquired and found out that people in Beiliang also liked spirits.
The business opportunities here are huge.
In addition, the wine they make now is fermented wine. She remembered that they can also make distilled wine, and distilled wine is white wine.
She has also had the distillation equipment prepared and set up. The stove, steamer, bucket, and sky pot are all in place. All she needs to do is try it out.
After hearing her description, winemaker Chen Haiping shook his head, "I have never heard of such a wine-making method. Are you sure you can really make wine?"
But don’t waste so much food.”
Lin Jiuniang shook her head and pointed at the assembled distillation equipment, "Master Chen, don't deny it yet.
Food cannot be wasted.
Try it, maybe it’s a new way out, right?”
After thinking for a while, he said seriously, "There are so many wine shops in Daye now. If we want to break out of the encirclement, we must have our own signature wine.
Liquor.
I have to make liquor, and from now on this will be the signature liquor of our winery."
Chen Haiping didn't speak anymore, and after a while he said:
"You are the boss, you are not afraid of losses, and I have nothing to say."
After saying that, he immediately led someone to take out the fermented wine base, put it into the steamer bucket according to Lin Jiuniang's instructions, then added water to the sky pot and started to light the fire.
But two hours later, the aroma of wine came out along with the smell of paste.
Failed!
Chen Haiping looked at Lin Jiuniang.
Lin Jiuniang said nothing, and came back after cleaning the bucket.
She is not afraid of waste, but she is afraid of giving up halfway and not being able to make liquor.
Chen Haiping said nothing.
Keep doing it.
On the first day, twice, both failed.
The next day, I used a spatula to stir the bottom and kept stirring, but the wine was no longer mushy, but the quality of the wine was not good, with many impurities and not pure enough.
On the third day, it still didn't work. The amount of alcohol produced was too little.
…
Day five.
Chen Haiping fermented the wine base and looked at Lin Jiuniang with a straight face, "This is the last fermented wine base. If this pot fails, we will have to wait three days before continuing."
Lin Jiuniang nodded.
She frowned and looked at the homemade distillation equipment in front of her, why not?
I could obviously smell the strong aroma of wine, but the steamed wine was just a little bit off, either with impurities or too little wine.
What went wrong?
Chen Haiping followed the previous steps expressionlessly and continued.
Until the aroma of wine came out, everyone started to get nervous.
Success or failure is here.
Watching the wine dripping out, Lin Jiuniang was a little nervous.
I couldn't help but stepped forward, but I was too nervous and bumped into the wine barrel.
The wine was scattered all over the floor, and the aroma of wine in the room became stronger.
Lin Jiuniang is sorry.
He held the wine barrel upright and stood aside to wait, no longer anxious.
Baili Xuan just happened to come over today. When he saw this scene, he snorted coldly:
"It's a bad start. It looks like you're going to fail again this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately received a few eye rolls.
Lin Li kicked him directly and said, "Get out."
Baili Xuan felt wronged, "Lin Li."
"roll!"
Lin Li glared at him expressionlessly, and after driving the person out, she closed the door to isolate the person.
idiot!
If everything were so easy to succeed, there would be no losers.
What is the difference between daring to laugh at Lin Jiuniang and laughing at yourself?
Deserve a beating!
Lin Li looked at Lin Jiuniang who was looking down at the side, walked over and comforted her casually, "You will succeed."
"I know!"
The affirmative look on Lin Jiuniang's face left Lin Li speechless.
She was worried for nothing.
This woman, this little setback cannot break her down at all.
She will only get more frustrated and braver, trying every means to achieve her goal.
In order to prevent her from focusing on the wine, Lin Li talked about cactus flowers.
Luo Hengtong came forward and asked people from Huangjia Village to help pick flowers. They had already picked all the flowers in the past two days.
Luo Hengtong had already done what she wanted.
Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed with light, and she muttered, "It's almost over!"
Lin Li frowned, what did she mean?
What's coming soon!
She tricked Bai Yulong and the others. Is there any result soon?
When the strong aroma of wine came, Lin Li suddenly realized.
When she said it was fast, did she mean that it was fast?
The smell of the wine this time was pungent to her nose, so strong.
Lin Li retreated toward the door.
Lin Jiuniang was so happy that she took a bowl and poured some of the steamed wine into it.
The wine is very clear.
Then drink it all in one gulp.
The stronger, spicier, more fragrant, and softer wine taste goes straight from the throat to the stomach, and then rushes back up.
Lin Jiuniang blushed.
He burped.
Done!
With a happy face on his face, he took another bowl, took some and handed it to Chen Haiping, "Try it!"
When Chen Haiping tasted it, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Is it done?"
"right!"
Lin Jiuniang answered loudly, and at the same time she tasted some wine in the barrel. The taste was very pure.
There is no difference between this time and before, why did it happen this time?"
Lin Jiuniang was also thinking about this issue. She recalled from the beginning what was the difference between today's distillation and the previous one.
Suddenly, a detail caught her attention.
There was a look of disbelief on her face. Could it be because of this?
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Haiping:
"Is it because the time to cover the sky pot was too late and the cold water was added to the sky pot?"
Saying that, regardless of Chen Haiping's reaction, Lin Jiuniang immediately added cold water to the sky pot again.
Soon the amount of wine produced increased, and the aroma became more intense.
Chen Haiping was also stunned. Is it necessary to keep adding cold water to the pot today?
Then he smiled bitterly, he really needed to keep exploring.
"alright!"
After Lin Jiuniang filled up the water, she released the water ladle and pointed at the sky pot:
"I should add a gap here to allow hot water to flow out, and then connect a pipe to specifically put cold water in to keep the water temperature in the sky pot from being too high."
How could she forget the common sense that the collision of hot and cold will produce a large amount of distilled water?
Therefore, the water on the sky pot is all hot. How can distilled water be produced without the collision of hot and cold?
And this distilled water is the liquor she needs.
No wonder the wine steamed several times before either had impurities or the wine yield was too low.
Smell the aroma of the wine now, and look at the liquor flowing like a stream now!
So, commit sin.
It actually took her five days to discover this.
Lin Jiuniang looked depressed:
“Here’s the good news, our winery’s signature wine is available!”
