My portable world of mixed farmers

Chapter 511 Wild Woman

The time soon came to the end of October, which is also the normal brewing time of red wine. In fact, the brewing time of red wine is at the end of October and the beginning of November, but if the [-]-acre winery does not rush to brew, Dong Shanhe I feel that the brewing will not be finished even in December.

Smith has already recruited three agricultural service companies to work, otherwise one company would not be able to complete the job.

There are more than 1000 people in three companies, and the salary of this day is only more than 200 million US dollars. According to the division of roads, each company is responsible for a piece of land.

In the morning, Dong Shanhe got up early, because there are many people coming today, in addition to Elon Musk who talked with Dong Shanhe last time, there are Zuckerberg, Ballmer, Larry Page and others , these people not only want to taste the new wine, but also want to buy shares in the winery by the way.

Dong Shanhe felt that since he cooperated once, he could cooperate for the second time. In the past, his power was very weak. Even though his personal ability was very strong, he could not fight and kill for the rest of his life. He could only give in temporarily. Again, Dong Shanhe made up his mind that with only these two opportunities, even if someone wants to buy shares in the future, he will not be able to agree.

The first person to come was Dong Shanhe. Anna Shiv, Dong Shanhe never expected that she would be the first to come.

Anna Schiff is of course familiar with this place. He has been here many times before. At that time, this place was not so full of vitality, and everything was still beautiful at that time.

Anna, who got out of the car, felt a little sad. If she had persisted, would there have been a different ending? Unfortunately, time cannot go back to the past.

Followed by Anna Schiff was Elon Musk. This guy didn't know why he was so concerned, so he ran over at nine o'clock.

"Elon, how have you been these two days?" Dong Shanhe hugged each other after seeing Elon Musk.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dong Shanhe came to Anna again, "Long time no see." After seeing her for more than half a year, Anna lost a lot of weight. She used to feel a little baby fat, but now she doesn't feel any.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect that you have grown to this point now, and your spoken English is much better." Anna said with a bit of regret.

"Are you alone?" Dong Shanhe looked at Anna, then at the familiar car behind her, and couldn't help asking.

Dong Shanhe thought Anna's sister was back, but he didn't expect that the person sitting in the car was not her sister, but another person.

"Anna, are you ready to talk? Why don't you introduce me?" A woman stepped out of the car, she looked very young, but Dong Shanhe saw that she was in her 30s after a closer look, and the delicate makeup was perfect. It conceals the precipitation of the years and enhances her charm.

"Dong, this is my friend, Ivanka." Anna pointed to Ivanka and introduced Dong Shanhe.

"Hello, hello!" Dong Shanhe didn't look carefully at first, but now that he heard Anna's introduction, he immediately knew that she was Trump's daughter Ivanka, the legendary princess.

It has to be said that the eldest princess is beautiful and very attractive. She was once Dong Shanhe's dream partner, but since she got married, Dong Shanhe has changed her fantasy partner. Shanhe also got married, so he completely threw her into a corner of his mind to eat ashes.

"Hello, hello, Ivanka, can I call you that?" Dong Shanhe shook hands with Ivanka very familiarly.

"Of course." Ivanka replied with a smile.

She was pulled here by Anna, and she didn't know what happened, all she knew was that Anna asked him to accompany her to a winery to participate in the new wine brewing ceremony.

Ivanka was still puzzled. At first she thought Anna was in love, but after observing, she found that she wasn't, or she didn't look like the kind of woman who was deeply in love.

It was scheduled to start at ten o'clock, and after 09:30, more and more people came, and soon the winery was full of cars.

The dozen or so Silicon Valley tycoons who signed with Dong Shanhe last time basically all came, except for Bill, who was still sleeping in Seattle.

"Let's start now." Grape picking has started for a while, and now the winery is full of ready-made wine grapes.

Following Dong Shanhe's order, the machines in the brewing room started up. All the machines in it were left by Old George, and Dong Shanhe did not give up, because the more experienced the machines, the more capable they are for people. An inexplicable feeling.

This is the first time Dong Shanhe has seen how red wine is brewed, and it is an eye-opener.

First of all, the most important raw material for brewing red wine is grapes. After harvesting, grapes sometimes carry grape leaves and unripe or rotten grapes. Before brewing, the winery will screen and even carefully select the best grapes one by one. , Hundreds of people also came to Dong Shanhe's winery to pick grapes.

He made up his mind to make the best red wine, and of course he must follow the strictest standards, so Dong Shanhe must do his best in everything, not afraid of spending too much money, but afraid that the quality of his own products will not be good when the time comes.

After cleaning the grapes and selecting the grapes, the stems need to be removed. The tannins in the grape stems are relatively astringent, and often have a pungent grassy smell when they are not fully ripe, and must be removed in whole or in part.

The process after destemming is to break the skin. Since the grape skin contains important components such as tannin, red pigment and aroma substances, before fermentation, especially for red wine, the grape pulp must be broken to let the grape juice and grapes skins in order to allow these substances to dissolve into the wine.

These three processes are being carried out in an orderly manner, because this is also the reason why Dong Shanhe recruits so many workers.

Sometimes Dong Shanhe will let some guests choose some grapes by themselves, let them pick out the stems and break the skins by themselves, and then throw them into the press for pressing. At that time, the red wine they brewed by themselves will be specially marked for them. When it is stored for a certain period of time, it will be given to them at that time. This is what Dong Shanhe learned from the tree. If people do it by themselves, there will be a special sense of accomplishment, as if the food cooked by themselves is delicious.

The cleaned grapes are thrown directly into the juicer. There are not only modern machines in this winery, but also traditional vertical presses.Because it is impossible for the [-]-acre winery to be pressed by traditional manual pressing, because it is impossible to complete, even if it takes half a year, it may not be completed, so there must be modern machines, of course, Old George’s winery The traditional juicer is absolutely indispensable in the kitchen.

Dong Shanhe will select the best grapes and press them with a traditional juicer, which can be regarded as creating his own top-notch products. According to the chief brewer, the traditional juicer combined with the air bag press has gentle pressure and the effect better.

After the wine grapes are squeezed out by the juicer, they will enter the next process, which is the alcoholic fermentation of the grapes.

Usually the grape itself contains yeast, and the yeast must be in an environment between [-] and [-] degrees to function normally. If the temperature is too low, the activity of the yeast will slow down or even stop. If the temperature is too high, the yeast will be killed and the alcoholic fermentation will be complete. abort.About [-] grams of sugar can be fermented into [-]% alcohol, so to make a wine with an alcohol concentration of [-] degrees, the concentration of sugar in the grape juice must reach [-] grams per liter.

Alcoholic fermentation of red wine is generally carried out in oak barrels, so the most things in the winery are oak barrels, these oak barrels are basically not used before, because new oak barrels will bring wine to the wine. Different feelings will also change the taste of red wine.

Dong Shanhe saw that a lot of red wine was put into oak barrels, so he knew that there was nothing wrong, because after the red wine was put into oak barrels, these oak barrels would be transported to the wine cellar, and then naturally fermented for a year For half the time, it will not be a perfect red wine until the spring of the next year. The current red wine is not just red wine at all, it might as well be called grape juice, or even not as delicious as grape juice.

According to the winemaking procedure, the red wine stored in the wine cellar must be pumped into another clean barrel every few months to remove the sediment deposited at the bottom of the barrel. This procedure also allows the wine to slightly expose to the air. , to avoid unpleasant reduction odors.This method is the fining method with the least impact on the wine.

There are other filtering methods, adding sulfur dioxide, etc., but Dong Shanhe is determined to make the best red wine. Of course, it must be produced with the strictest process and the most perfect process, so Dong Shanhe can avoid other methods. As for the increase in labor costs caused by changing barrels, this is not a problem for Dong Shanhe at all. When his red wine wins the gold medal at the Red Wine Exhibition, it will be sold for [-] or [-]. It's not up to you.

"Husband, why are these grapes put into oak barrels after being squeezed?" Liu Miaomiao, who was holding the child, asked beside Dong Shanhe.

Liu Miaomiao looked at Anna and Ivanka behind Dong Shanhe with a strong sense of crisis. Those two beautiful women need to be charming and charming, to be pure and pure, to have a good face, and to have a figure. Proud, but that's only compared with the Chinese, and compared with the western golden silk horse, it's still not as good.

Although the two of them deliberately stayed away from Dong Shanhe, Liu Miaomiao still noticed the vague eyes, but she didn't say a word, just hugged the child and followed Dong Shanhe, unwilling to step by step. keep away.

The underlying meaning of Liu Miaomiao's doing this is to declare his sovereignty. He has Dong Shanhe's child and is also his wife. You wild women should go away.

"The reason why red wine is in oak barrels is mainly because the biggest influence of oak barrels on wine is to stabilize the structure of wine through moderate oxidation, and to integrate the aroma in barrels into wine. The woodiness of oak barrel walls Cells have a breathable function, which allows a very small amount of air to pass through the barrel wall and penetrate into the barrel to cause moderate oxidation of the wine. Excessive oxidation will deteriorate the wine, but a small amount of oxygen that slowly penetrates into the barrel can soften the wine. Rather, it makes the wine more mature, and at the same time allows the fresh fruit aromas in the wine to gradually brew into a rich and varied mature bouquet. So you have to know that those soft red wines you have drunk have been in oak barrels for a long time. It took a year and a half or even two years to ferment." Dong Shanhe explained to Liu Miaomiao meticulously.

"Since the air can pass through the barrel wall, the wine in the barrel will also evaporate into the air through the barrel wall. So after a period of storage, the wine in the barrel will be reduced and leave a void in the barrel. In this way The rate of oxidation of the wine will become too fast to improve the quality. Therefore, every once in a while, the winemaker must carry out the work of "refilling barrels", adding wine to fill the oak barrels. After a year or two, the wine Intensified by evaporative concentration."

"Oak barrels not only provide a moderate oxidation environment for wine, but also the aromas originally contained in oak barrels will also be integrated into wine. In addition to wood flavor, according to the degree of wood barrel smoke, it can bring cream, vanilla, toast to wine. Aromas of bread, toasted almonds, smoke and cloves.”

"If you put it this way, you understand! The reason why red wine tastes different is because of the different oak barrels." Dong Shanhe pointed to the new oak barrels and said.

In fact, Dong Shanhe will add some space psychic liquid to the top oak barrels after these guests leave. Dong Shanhe is afraid that if the space psychic liquid is not added, those optimized wine grapes alone will not be able to beat the world red wine, so Dong Shanhe could only choose to cheat.

"Of course, not all the benefits that oak barrels bring to red wine, it has other disadvantages, such as uncleaned or too old oak barrels, not only will bring musty, rotten wood and other strange smells to wine, It can even cause excessive oxidation and spoil the wine. In addition, poor quality oak will bring inferior tannins into the wine, which will make the wine dry and unpalatable.”

"In addition, the new and old oak barrels also have different effects on wine. The newer the barrel, the better the seal, and the more woody aroma it will bring to the wine. Different wines will choose different oak barrels, for example, to keep the red wine fresh. You can choose large oak barrels for the best wine aroma. Not only will it not mature too quickly, but it will not have excess woody aroma. But not all wines are suitable for cultivation in oak barrels. For example, some wines that are ready to drink, after oak barrel Cultivation will lose the original pleasant fresh fruit aroma, and it will also destroy the balance of taste. Wines with light taste and not strong bouquet should also be avoided in oak barrels, so as to avoid the woodiness and tannins of oak barrels. It completely covered up the original taste of the wine." Dong Shanhe talked a lot with Liu Miaomiao, but basically Liu Miaomiao didn't listen to it, because she just made a show, trying to show the outsiders a kind of husband and wife The appearance of affection, especially the two wild women in the back.
