The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 380 Wine Shop ([-])
The servant got Su Yunduo's praise, and he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Su Yunduo's rhetorical question to follow, so he seemed a little dazed. What is more suitable for doing.

Su Yunduo was not in a hurry, but just looked at him wrongly, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes.

With Su Yunduo's encouragement, the servant thought about how he felt when he was working just now, and soon came to a decision: "Compared to breaking, slaves are more suitable for removing stems."

This coincides with Su Yunduo's observation, this person is very handy in removing stems, but he can't control the breaking force very well.

Su Yunduo and Lin Erfu looked at each other, then at Zhang Ping'an, and they both saw approval in their eyes, so they smiled at the servant who had the courage to "eat crabs" for the first time: "I remember your name is Pang Pingan." Yong, right?"

"Yes, the slave's humble name is Pang Yong." The servant blushed with excitement, he really didn't expect Su Yunduo to remember his name.

"Your suggestion is very good!" Su Yunduo affirmed Pang Yong's suggestion again, and then turned to everyone: "Everyone stop for a while. Manager Lin and Manager Zhang have something to announce to everyone."

Su Yunduo's words made the servants a little dazed again. Shouldn't the master announce something?

Su Yunduo signaled Lin Erfu to come forward, and Lin Erfu came forward without hesitation and opened his voice: "Thanks to the respect of the young master and the lady, I came to the winery to be the manager, but I have other things in my hands and cannot be in the wine room all the time. Manager Zhang is in charge of all affairs of the winery, and everyone needs to obey Manager Zhang’s management and deployment. Do you understand?!”

"Understood!" After these days of practice, these servants felt very obedient, and they answered very neatly.

Lin Erfu nodded in satisfaction, and turned to Zhang Ping'an: "Guard Zhang, the winery's daily management and personnel deployment rights are all entrusted to you. I hope you can do your best, know people and make good use of them. Don't let the expectations of the masters down. .”

Zhang Pingan responded respectfully, bowed deeply to Su Yunduo and saluted Su Yunduo: "The servant will never disappoint the entrustment of the masters, and will definitely manage the winery well and make good wine."

Su Yunduo silently accepted Zhang Ping'an's gift, coughed lightly and said, "Let's work together!"

Signal Zhang Pingan to carry out personnel allocation.

Zhang Pingan straightened up, no longer wasting time, [-] quickly divided the ground personnel into two groups, one group was destemmed and the other was broken.

After grouping, the work resumed, and the speed was obviously accelerated. At the beginning of the application, five to six hundred catties of grapes were all broken into the wine tank.

Next is the process of skin maceration and fermentation, which takes time and needs to be added, which is the key to grape winemaking.

It is naturally impossible for everyone to participate in such a critical step.

This process requires an environment that can avoid prying eyes and is suitable for grape fermentation. Su Yunduo chose this place in the cellar under the warehouse.

In order to make this process smoother, the wine tanks Su Yunduo chose were not too big, and she only asked everyone to fill the tanks to 150% full, so each wine tank with broken grapes was about [-] catties. Two strong men can easily lift the tank into the cellar.

Today's grapes were filled with five vats. Zhang Pingan brought a few strong servants and quickly moved the wine vats into the cellar. At this time, Ning Zhongping, who got the news early in the morning and went to the wood market to look at the oak, also came back.

Su Yunduo quickly asked Zisu to pour a bowl of well-prepared mung bean soup for Ning Zhongping, and then personally twisted a wet handkerchief for Ning Zhongping with spring water and handed it to Ning Zhongping.

After Ning Zhongping drank the mung bean soup and wiped away the sweat from his face, Su Yunduo asked, "Is the news true?"

Ning Zhongping nodded vigorously. The batch of oak wood he saw today is the best quality oak wood he has ever seen. The most important thing is that this batch of oak wood has been pressed by the boss for more than three years. Drying requirements.

"It's been more than three years? Is there any special reason?" Su Yunduo frowned slightly after hearing this.

The furniture made of oak has a beautiful texture, with obvious mountain-shaped wood grains. The processed oak furniture has excellent toughness and beautiful appearance, and has a smooth and delicate texture to the touch.

Oak furniture has a thick and firm texture, high breaking strength, particularly strong earthquake resistance, and a long service life.

Oak is not easily deformed by moisture and is extremely resistant to abrasion.

However, oak furniture has its own disadvantages. Because oak is heavy and difficult to dehydrate, if incompletely dehydrated oak is used to make furniture, it will deform after a period of time after use.

Dongling Country is not rich in oak, so the price is not low, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it.

Since Ning Zhongping said that this batch of oak has been placed in the natural environment for three years, and the quality is excellent, the quantity seems to be quite a lot,
It has been more than three years, and the reason is probably not simple.

"The reason for the overstocking, the boss is very frank. This batch of goods was ordered three years ago, and the person who ordered this batch of goods was Qianzhen Nanhou." Speaking of this, Ning Zhongping said "you understand." Looking at Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo was inexplicable at first, but he understood after turning his mind.

Former Zhennanhou was imprisoned by the nine clans for treason three years ago.

It is understandable that this batch of oak has been pressed for several years.

"What's the price?" Su Yunduo doesn't shy away from these things, as long as the quality of the oak is good and the price is right, it's natural to ask for it.

Although Ning Zhongping has sent a letter back, the oak from the depths of Yanshan Mountain will be transported to the capital as soon as possible, but the newly cut wood is not suitable for making oak barrels, it needs to be cut into planks, and it can be dried for at least three years in the natural environment. Made into oak barrels for winemaking.

The winery has already started brewing, and oak barrels are needed to brew fine wine, so it is impossible to wait for three years.

Ning Zhongping made rumors as early as Su Yunduo stated the requirements for the oak wood he needed. During this time, he really went to various wood markets to look at oak wood. Today is the first time he has found a suitable oak wood.

"The boss's asking price is 55 taels." Speaking of the price, Ning Zhongping frowned.

Su Yunduo was also a little surprised, this price is really not low!

"How much room for price reduction?" It is rare to find a suitable oak, and Su Yunduo is not willing to give up just because of the price.

"I had a rough talk with him. There is room for price cuts. As for how much room there is, it depends on how much we buy. If it's just one side or two sides, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lower the price." Ning Zhongping compared himself with the timber boss. Talk about the negotiation process in detail and listen to Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo thought about it silently in her heart, and felt that Lin Erfu had to intervene in this matter.

Lin Erfu has been in the capital for many years, and has been the second shopkeeper of the wine shop under the name of the Duke of Zhen Guo for many years. He can be regarded as a local snake, and he is definitely much more experienced than Ning Zhongping in business matters.

After discussing with Ning Zhongping, Su Yunduo summoned Lin Erfu and asked Ning Zhongping and Lin Erfu to discuss the purchase of oak and the production of oak barrels. She took Zisu and Zhang Pingan into the cellar.

The style and size of the oak barrels had been prepared for Ning Zhongping earlier, so Su Yunduo didn't need to worry about it.
