Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 156 Brewing

The carriage picked up speed and rushed towards the farm.

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

After Xing Zhuangtou called Aunt He and Uncle Zhang over, Jiang Zhixia told them about the ratio of icing sugar to be put in the final wine making.

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

However, what happened today made her start to trust Xingzhuangtou and his daughter.

This winemaking is nothing more than a small business.

Today, if she was taken away, she would not only lose her money, but also her life.

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

So it's just a sale.If she really got it wrong, even if Xing Zhuang took the deal, she would not care.

"The most important step in this wine is to add icing sugar. The icing sugar can increase the alcohol content and prevent it from going sour. Don't tell me about this. To the people in front, just say that you need to add a secret recipe. They can make it by themselves if they save it .Then we can’t sell this for money.”

The method of making this wine is really too simple, so simple that it can be seen at a glance, so it can only be a mystery.

When everyone heard how easy it is to make wine, and saw that Jiang Zhixia told them the secret recipe so casually, they all felt trusted, and couldn't help being happier.

"Select and clean according to what I told you before. After drying, crush the grapes and put them in jars. Then, move all the jars to the room in the small courtyard with a cellar. We are responsible Add sugar to it. After adding the sugar, seal it with a cloth. This does not need to be sealed tightly with mud and wax oil like a wine shop. This can only be sealed with a cloth and then covered with a lid. This needs to be breathable , or it will explode."

In Jiang Zhixia's previous life, she heard from friends that she had no experience in making wine for the first time, and not only sealed it tightly with plastic wrap, but also screwed the lid tightly.Finally, there it is—the bottle exploded.

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

"After the wine is sealed, put them in the cellar dug before. The wine will be ready after fermentation for about a month. After opening, it can be sold. Boil it in a pot, dry it in the sun, and then use it to filter. After filtering, store the wine water in a delicate white porcelain jar. Then it needs to be sold as soon as possible. During the whole brewing process, remember not to touch From raw water to raw water, all these utensils need to be boiled and sterilized.”

Jiang Zhixia talked carefully about the attention to wine making.

This is the first time she brews wine by herself, and now there are no preservatives, and the storage conditions cannot meet the requirements of her previous life.

So the wine has been stored for too long, and she is also worried that it will go bad.

"Okay. Girl."

The crowd responded in unison.

"Okay then, we'll start brewing the first batch of wine. I'll teach you how to operate it today. From now on, you will be in charge of the overall situation. The newly bought servant, if you think the character is really good, you can let it go." Alright, move the icing out to the yard and let them whip it up for you."

After Jiang Zhixia finished speaking, he demonstrated it himself.

She first took everyone to the small yard where the cellar was dug.Let Xing Zhuang go to the front yard and take a bunch of dried grapes.

She confirmed again and again that the last wash was done with cool white water, rinsed and dried.

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

However, Jiang Zhixia brewed for the first time, so to be on the safe side, let them clean it with cool white water for the last time, and then put it on the curtain to dry.

Jiang Zhixia took the grapes that had been dried. She picked the grapes one by one and crushed them into the jar. When they were [-]% full, they added the icing sugar. The dry sticks were stirred a few times.

Finally, wrap the jar with cloth, tie a string, and close the lid.

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

Jiang Zhixia stretched.

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

Everyone carefully watched every step, and then went to the front yard to supervise and guide.

In the front yard, there have long been bought servants and hired dexterous people doing the preliminary cleaning and cleaning work.

After Uncle He Zhang and Aunt Xing Ruolan went to the front yard, they instructed them to crush grapes and put them into jars.Then, let the servants who bought the finished jar move it into the room in the small yard in the backyard.

Jiang Zhixia taught Xing Zhuangtou to put icing sugar in it.

Fortunately, the work of putting icing sugar is not difficult, and one or two people are completely busy.

So everyone started to get busy.

At noon, Aunt Zhang cooked a simple lunch in the kitchen by herself.

After cooking, let all the workers eat lunch, and then continue to work.

The sun slowly went west.

Xing Zhuang looked up at the sky.So he said to Jiang Zhixia: "Girl, I'll send you back. I can take care of it in Zhuangzi. Putting icing sugar is not difficult. I can do it by myself."

Jiang Zhixia looked at the sky and it was indeed a bit late, and it would take some time to rush back to the capital.But it can't be later than the curfew, as the gates of the city are all closed.

"Okay. Let's go back now. You don't need to send it. It would be too much of a waste of time for you to send it back. What's more, you have to watch what happens in Zhuangzi. I heard Uncle He say that he has learned from you It's time for the carriage. Just let him drive back. As for the carriage, "

Jiang Zhixia hesitated for a while.

Because of the purchase of a farm and the need to make wine, and later in order to buy cotton, he even gave Chu Tiankuo all the bank notes he had at that time—even though he didn't want it.But cotton is what I want to buy, and I don’t charge money, so I’m embarrassed to ask for things.

So all she has now is Han Wenxuan's cash.Naturally, it is not enough to change to a bigger house --- what's more, it takes time to find a house, and she is busy now.

In addition, it is just for storing the carriage, which is not the most important thing.So, she let it go.

"Let's put the carriage at my neighbor's house first. His house is relatively big."

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

"It's just right, ask Uncle He to bring some icing sugar over tomorrow. There is nothing going on in the capital recently, so 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 nothing that needs manpower recently.

Xing Zhuangtou thought about the past few days, and estimated that there would be more grapes delivered.With the help of Uncle He, it is indeed faster.

Therefore, it should be down.

Jiang Zhixia asked Xing Zhuangtou to report the bill again, and then she gave the bank note while thinking.

I have invested too much recently, but it will take some time for income.

Han Wenxuan's running money can't be moved too much, and he has to save it to try his luck to buy books.

It seems that I have to save money recently.

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

After listening to Jiang Zhixia's arrangement, a group of people drove the carriage back to the capital.
