Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 378 Informed (still added to "The Frozen Sea")

In October, a baijiu made from potatoes appeared on the market in Johannesburg.

This wine is not brewed by the Chinese, but by a group of Jews from Russia.

After the Boer War, some Russian Jews fleeing persecution emigrated to southern Africa, most of them in Johannesburg.

It was also at this time that Rock knew that potatoes were actually the raw material used by Russians to brew vodka.

It is very easy to brew vodka from potatoes. Chinese brewers sometimes have to steam three times and brew three times. Vodka does not have to be so troublesome. It takes no more than four months from the beginning of fermentation to the final distillation. After distillation, the Russians first made it up to 95 degrees. The alcohol is desalinated with distilled water to 40 to 60 degrees, and filtered by activated carbon to make the wine more crystal clear, colorless and light and refreshing, making people feel neither sweet, bitter, nor astringent, only the stimulation of flames Form the unique characteristics of vodka.

Among various base wines for making cocktails, vodka is the most flexible, adaptable and adaptable wine.

Potato wine was well received once it was launched. Although potatoes are cheap, the wine made from potatoes is pure and flawless, smooth in the mouth, full of coolness and endless aftertaste.

Rock drank wine made from potatoes at Buck's house, and Buck planned to set up a brewery in Bigwig Town to brew potato wine.

"The biggest crop we have here is potatoes, but it's a pity that potatoes can't be bought at a high price, so the farmers are unwilling to grow them. Now, with potato wine, potatoes can be grown on a large scale and then brewed into wine It’s really not good to sell it to the outside world, even if it’s for alcohol.” Buck is very happy, if the potato problem is solved, then this is really a great thing for the farm in Johannesburg.

The world's demand for wine and alcohol will never be less, but so far, the world's food production is not rich, so wine and alcohol have been scarce for a long time.

Johannesburg definitely has an advantage in this aspect. When the Chinese descendants first came to Johannesburg, they underestimated the potato production. As a result, the potatoes in Johannesburg were almost rotten in the field for a while and no one harvested them. In the surrounding farms, every household ate potatoes. Eat till you vomit.

After the first year, few farmers in Johannesburg planted potatoes anymore, and even if they did, they would not plant so many, only as a supplementary food, or simply used to feed livestock.

Now, with the winery, it is estimated that the scale of growing potatoes on the farms around Johannesburg will gradually expand, which is a good thing in any way.

"This wine—it's not bad." Rock didn't think highly of the potato wine.

"Come on, my lord, potato wine is already very good. Not everyone has the money to buy wine, and most people don't drink wine a few times a year. We can set a lower price for potato wine—" Buck despised Why not eat minced meat like Rock's pie.

"Try the potato chips I made for you, my lord, in the way you said." Mrs. Barker was not at all vicious at the moment, and it was refreshing.

Mrs. Barker's craftsmanship is still good. The thin potato chips are moderate in size and turn golden yellow after being fried. There are various seasonings such as pepper, salt and cumin, so potato chips have various tastes.

Rock picked up a piece, it was crispy and crunchy, and it lingered on the lips and teeth. The familiar taste almost made Rock's eyes blush.

"It's so delicious?" Buck was very surprised. He also picked up a piece and tasted it, but he didn't feel anything special, so he was even more puzzled.

"It's not potato chips, it's potato chips." Rock corrected.

"My lord, you may not have been to the Oak Bar for a long time. Potato chips are the most popular snack in the Oak Bar now." Buck laughed, it was really hard to see Rock lose his composure.

Rock shook his head and smiled wryly. The Chinese are so hardworking and smart. As long as an environment is created for them, they will be self-reliant. Sure enough, the power of the masses is great.

Looking back, Buck went to find those Russian Jews, hoping to buy the method of making wine from potatoes with money.

The Jews are so smart. After knowing that Buck was planning to set up a winery, they hoped to use technology to invest in the shares. The required shares were not too much, just 5.00%.

"5.00%? Hehe, those Jews are going crazy. Do they know how much a winery costs? If they don't want to sell it, let it be. I'll send someone to Russia to buy it." Rock was not angry, since he was unwilling It's fine to sell, but Roque doesn't have the same knowledge as them, so how can he forcefully buy and sell?

"My lord, you'd better meet them. I asked the bartender at the Oak Bar. The vodka brewed by those Jews is indeed better than the vodka imported from Russia." Buck hesitated a little, and those Jews were indeed Have a little skill.

"What about people?"

"It's just outside."

"Then let them in."

Outside the police station, Heinrich and several of his partners were waiting anxiously.

It takes courage to ask Roque for conditions. In Johannesburg, few people dare to refuse Roque's conditions.

When Heinrich proposed the conditions, he did not discuss with his partners. As a result, his partners have all arrived at the gate of the Baron's Mansion and are still blaming each other.

"Damn it, I'm so nervous now, why don't we sell the technology to Mr. Buck, even if we give it to Mr. Buck, if we anger the Lord because of this, then we're all over—" Barda cried sadly Nian Nian, it is too late to say anything now, they can only wait for the judgment of fate.

"Don't worry, Lord Nyasaland is not a narrow-minded person. As long as we can show our value and bring wealth to the Lord, then the Lord will forgive us." Heinrich insisted, he couldn't miss this Chance.

Before leaving Russia, the Heinrich family was a wealthy businessman in St. Petersburg, and vodka has been in business for generations.

The vodka of the Heinrich family is known as the best vodka in Russia, so the Heinrich family has accumulated countless wealth for hundreds of years, which eventually brought disaster to the Heinrich family. Rishi had no choice but to flee Russia with his family to southern Africa.

Because of his Jewish identity, Heinrich was not trusted in Johannesburg. Heinrich, who had studied in France and England, wanted to work as a stenographer in the city government but failed. In the end, the Heinrich family could only rely on Heinrich's wife and eldest daughter struggled to make ends meet working in wool mills.

As a man, Heinrich tried every means to improve the life of his family, but it was a pity that the Heinrich family was penniless when they came to Johannesburg. Old friends who came to Johannesburg raised funds to conduct research on vodka, and finally brewed vodka of better quality than ever before.

After brewing the vodka, Heinrich tried his best to give the vodka to Buck, hoping to use the vodka to get a chance to meet Rock. Now that this opportunity is close at hand, Heinrich will certainly not miss it.

After coming to Johannesburg for so long, Heinrich studied all the officials in Johannesburg, and finally set his target on Roque, hoping to rely on Roque and rebuild the glory of the Heinrich family.

"Mr. Heinrich, my lord, please go in—" Finally a man rushed to greet Heinrich.

"Thank you." Heinrich straightened his clothes and followed the servant into the baron's mansion.

"I said—" Barda muttered behind Heinrich.

"Shut up!" Heinrich was stern, his voice seemed a bit loud in the quiet baron's mansion, the servant leading the way looked back silently, and Heinrich immediately apologized.

The valet responded with a smile, showing good manners.

In the study of the baron's mansion, Heinrich met Roque.

"Tell me, why do you think that I will agree to exchange 5.00% of the factory's shares for your technology." Rock said in a calm voice.

Heinrich gave Rock a good feeling. His clothes were neat and tidy. Although the collar of the shirt was obviously damaged, the collar of the shirt was clean and neatly ironed, which made Rock feel good.

Some people always resist formal clothes on the grounds of freedom. In fact, wearing formal clothes is really not for pretending. On many occasions, neat clothes are not only respect for others, but also respect for yourself.

"Lord, 5.00% of the shares are not the price of technology, but the price of talents. I believe that my ability can bring you wealth far exceeding the value of 5.00% of the factory." Heinrich is full of confidence, he is that The kind of person who eats pickles and cuts them neatly.

"Do you still want to enter the management of the factory?" Rock was really curious. Heinrich dared to introduce himself like this. He was either delusional or a real talent.

"Lord, if you allow me to enter the management of the factory, then I can guarantee that within two years, the vodka from Johannesburg will be sold all over the world, and the price will not be lower than that of Russian vodka." Heinrich boasted Go to Haikou.

It is not easy to do this, just like not all wines in the world are called champagne, and it is not Russian-made vodka, which always gives people a feeling that it is not pure enough.

Rock itself tends to dump at low prices to occupy the market. Hearing what Heinrich said now really aroused Rock's curiosity.

"What are you going to do?" Rock wanted to determine whether Heinrich really had a plan or was bragging.

"Fry the concept, my lord, we must first tell others that not only the vodka produced in Russia is called vodka—" just as Heinrich opened his mouth, Rock knew that this guy really had something to say.
