The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 730
The raw water wine used to purify liquor is generally low in alcohol content. Su Yunduo has tasted the raw water wine. According to her taste, the raw water wine provided by the imperial court is relatively higher than the water wine sold in the market, but probably It's between twenty and thirty degrees.

To achieve the best disinfection effect, medical alcohol should be between 75 and [-] degrees.

There is no instrument that can monitor the alcohol content here, so it can only rely on experience. Su Yunduo estimated that the liquor purified by Leyou Winery is about [-] degrees.

This kind of wine naturally has a disinfection effect, but the disinfection effect is not the best. Therefore, there are currently two requirements for the purification of the distillery. Based on this, purify again.

Only after a comparative test on the wound, it was found that the concentration of high-grade liquor after one more purification was obviously greatly enhanced, and the effect of disinfection did not increase but decreased.

Su Yunduo knew that the final baijiu almost reached the level of anhydrous alcohol because of its high concentration.

Try blending two parts of liquor with a temperature of about [-] degrees and one part of high-strength liquor to make a new liquor for trial use. The effect of disinfection is significantly improved, and the effect is comparable to the medical alcohol in the previous life.

After blending the new medical wine, it was first sent to the Tai Hospital for trial. After being approved by the Tai Hospital, it was sent to the northern city and the southern city respectively two months ago. The feedback shows that the new medical wine has been widely appreciated.

It's just that, the same amount of refined wine requires about [-]% more water wine than before, which puts a little strain on the household department responsible for providing raw wine to the winery.

Su Yunduo was thinking about whether Leyou Winery could apply to the Holy Master for permission to make wine from grains, so as to ensure the raw wine that Leyou Winery needed to purify baijiu.

Together, she and Lu Jinkang have thousands of acres of fertile land, and these fertile fields are basically one crop of wheat and one crop of rice.

The yield per mu of wheat is relatively low, mostly around 150 catties. If the yield per mu can reach [-] catties, it is quite outstanding.

The yield per mu of rice is higher. The yield per mu of rice in Yangjiaji’s Zhuangzi reached about 350 catties last year. If the weather continues to be good this year, the yield can be even higher, and it is expected to increase by another [-] to [-] catties per mu.

Calculated in this way, the two seasons together can harvest about 450 catties per mu, which means that Su Yunduo can use a total of 45 catties of wheat and millet on his own initiative.

Coupled with dry land, hillside land, and miscellaneous grain crops such as sorghum, corn, and sweet potatoes interplanted under fruit trees, the amount of grain Su Yunduo can use is even larger.

Although she needs to support a lot of people and consumes a considerable amount of food every year, the annual surplus food is not a small amount.

This year, Su Yunduo consciously expanded the planting area of ​​sorghum again, but she knew that she couldn't make too much out of small things. The sorghum planting area was only expanded in dry land and hillside land, and it did not affect the wheat and rice planting in good fields.

Because she intends to strive for self-brewing, and in her impression sorghum is an important raw material for brewing baijiu.

The level of winemaking here is relatively low, and the alcohol content is too low. Su Yunduo once asked Lu Jinkang about the current winemaking technology of Dongling Kingdom, but Lu Jinkang didn't know much about it.

There is a large winery under the name of Duke Zhen Guo, and when he learned that Su Yunduo wanted to know about the wine-making process, Lu Mingyang specially ordered the housekeeper in the mansion to find a master who is familiar with the wine-making process from the winery to answer Su Yunduo's doubts.

Since Lu Mingyang provided such an opportunity to understand and learn, Su Yunduo would not let it go easily, and almost had a thorough understanding of the winemaking process of the winery, paying special attention to the key thing in the winemaking process - the koji.

Although the master chef knew that Su Yunduo had a wine shop, but because the wine he brewed was fruit wine, he still looked down on him. After some communication, he realized that he underestimated Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo, who is young, knows as much about wine making as he, a master craftsman who has been brewing for decades, feels that talking with Su Yunduo has gained a lot.

Because the master chef has a new position for Su Yunduo, he really had a detailed exchange with Su Yunduo, and answered Su Yunduo's inquiries and advice, and also talked about some of his confusion in the wine making process .

Su Yunduo tried his best to search for some usable things from his memory to communicate with the old master, but it really gave the old master some new views and understanding on wine making.

In fact, Su Yunduo's understanding of wine making is really very little.

Although Su Yunduo in his previous life had a certain amount of alcohol and could drink a little liquor, he never paid attention to the brewing process.

The reason why the master chef feels that the harvest is not shallow is because the brewing technology here is too backward. On the contrary, Su Yunduo, a person who doesn't even have half a bucket of water or even the bottom of the barrel, is regarded by the master as a A genius in winemaking to admire.

Although Su Yunduo didn't have the opportunity to visit the winery in person, but because of the cooperation of the old master, it can be said that he has basically understood the actual level of the current winemaking technology.

From Su Yunduo's point of view, to change the problem of low alcohol content, first of all, it is necessary to improve the quality of distiller's koji, and then to improve the brewing process. If the two aspects can be improved, it should not be difficult to produce liquor with [-]-[-]% alcohol.

It's a pity that Su Yunduo knows that rice, wheat, and sorghum can all be used to make wine, and also knows that good wine koji is needed to make good wine. He even heard that there are big koji, small koji, bran koji, etc., and there are also yellow wine koji and white wine koji. , but I only have an extremely vague impression of how to make koji. I only know that making koji is somewhat similar to making soybean paste, and both need to go through the process of mildew.

She really didn't know what to do.

However, the master chef was inspired by this. After returning to the winery, he devoted himself to the production of distiller's yeast, and it is said that the initial results have been achieved.

Su Yunduo intends to apply to the Holy Master to brew baijiu in Leyou Winery. If the application is successful, he plans to poach the corner of the winery in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and bring this old master to Leyou Winery to bring Zhang Pingan.

Of course, it is only a plan at present, and whether it can be implemented depends on the approval of the Holy Spirit.

Su Yunduo devoted all his attention to how to persuade the Holy Master to approve Leyou Winery to brew baijiu. After returning from Leyou Villa, he locked himself in the study to write the application.

The application is easy to write, but it is not easy to convince the Holy Majesty, after all, the Holy Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Accounts to allocate water and wine to the winery.

However, since Su Yunduo has such a plan and has done a lot of preparatory work, she will not give up easily. She specially wrote a very detailed plan, together with the application for Lu Jinkang to be brought into the palace, and she is gone. Lu Jinkang is the through train.

The application and proposal were sent to the palace for half a month, but Su Yunduo did not receive any news. This gave her an unreasonable illusion that Lu Jinkang had not submitted her application and proposal to the Holy Majesty.

However, Su Yunduo can be regarded as a calm person. While patiently waiting for the reply from the Holy Majesty, while preparing for the brewing of liquor, he did not forget to design a new season's clothing for "Yunshang".

Every season, Su Yunduo will personally design two or three sets of new clothes for "Yunshang". This season, because he has a lot of things to do, Su Yunduo plans to launch an improved version of the small clothes that women wear next to the body.

This is what Su Yunduo has considered for a long time before deciding to do it. It is said to be an improved version of Xiaoyi, but in fact it is just a small step from the current woman's Xiaoyi to the bra of the previous life.

This is a test of the water, to see how much the people here accept the improved clothes.

If no one can accept such an improvement, then forget about the official version of Xiaoyi.

In addition to the improved version of the small clothes, this time Su Yunduo handed over to Zisu several drawings of duck down products, one of which was a sleeping bag for infants.

When it comes to sleeping bags, we must talk about Su Zerui.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Su Yunduo basically hid in the mansion to draw drawings and read books.But Zisu brought her the news that Su Zerui had a cold from Dongmingfang.

The younger brother is sick, so Su Yunduo, as the eldest sister, naturally has to go back to visit, and it is not a joke to get cold in a hot day.

Fortunately, Su Zerui's wind chill was not serious. When asked why he got the wind chill, Ning couldn't help sighing at Su Zerui's sleeping position.

Su Yunduo naturally knew that Su Zerui's sleeping posture was very heroic. This kid is a master who can sleep from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, or even roll directly to the ground.

This time, he rolled out of bed in the middle of the night. It happened to be hot that day, and Ning asked someone to put an ice basin in his room. tragedy.

Su Yunduo was really annoyed and funny when he heard that, and laughed with Ning that he should tie up Su Zerui's hands and feet before going to bed with him.

This remark reminded Su Yunduo of the baby sleeping bag in his previous life. Even if he slept on the ground overnight with a sleeping bag, the chance of getting cold would be greatly reduced. So when he returned to the mansion from Dongmingfang, he began to draw drawings and decided to do it himself. Sew a sleeping bag for Su Zerui.

Because it is used in summer, Su Yunduo only spread a thin layer of silk on the sleeping bag.

This sleeping bag was sent to Dongming Fang, and Ning really liked it so much that she used it for Su Zerui that night.

Su Zechen, who came back home from school, saw that sleeping bags were extremely rare, so he sent a message to Su Yunduo that he wanted a sleeping bag like this.

This made Su Yunduo see business opportunities, and simply designed several sleeping bags suitable for all age groups.

"The sleeping bags are handed over to Jinxiufang for processing, and the small clothes are directly handed over to 'Yunshang'. After samples are made, the sleeping bags are displayed in the front hall, and the small clothes are displayed in the backyard. Both sleeping bags and small clothes are only made to order." Su Yunduo After thinking about it, Zisu ordered.

"Customization?" Even though she has been with Su Yunduo for several years, Zisu still couldn't understand the words that came out of Su Yunduo's mouth for the first time.

Su Yunduo gave a detailed explanation, and Zisu finally understood that it is to process according to the customer's requirements and size.

"Then what if we do a good job, but the client doesn't want it anymore?" Zisu was still very easy to ask.

Su Yunduo pondered for a while, then smiled, asked Zisu to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, waved his hand to write a customized contract, and said while talking: "Customers who need to customize must pay an appropriate amount of deposit in advance.

Well, this kind of large sleeping bag for adults is temporarily priced at ten taels, and children's sleeping bags are priced at eight taels, six taels and five taels according to size.

The deposit is [-]%. If the customer does not come to pick up the goods within five days after the agreed time, 'Yunshang' can handle it by itself, and the deposit will not be refunded.

You talk to the shopkeeper about this first, the contract is waiting for your son to come back, and ask him to find a bookstore to print some. "

Zisu nodded as she listened. There is a bookstore under the name of the Duke of Zhen. It is not difficult to print hundreds of copies of such a simple contract in the next day.

Since Zisu and the maids around her can accept the improved version of the small clothes designed by herself, Su Yunduo simply handed over the official version of the small clothes to Zisu to take to "Yunshang", so that the embroiderers in the back hall can hurry up and press the clothes. Drawings are processed into small clothes of different sizes.

Although the weather is hot, the business of "Yunshang" is still good. After all, the fabrics of "Yunshang"'s summer clothes are specially selected from the south. The clothes are fashionable and cool and elegant. "There are not many guests.

Su Yunduo was still a little apprehensive about launching women's underwear this time, but fortunately, the shopkeeper of "Yunshang" is very good at attracting customers.

She first asked the embroiderer to process the improved version of the small clothes according to Su Yunduo's drawings according to the size of the embroiderers, and then processed the small clothes according to different sizes, and then opened a small clothing display room in the inner hall for the embroiderers Show off in a well-fitting little dress.

Although the sales situation at the beginning of the store was not optimistic, occasionally one or two customers would pick up one or two items, but the sales gradually increased without knowing it.

After the improved version of the small clothes was gradually accepted, the shopkeeper asked the embroiderers to start processing the official version of the small clothes.

With the basis of the improved version of Xiaoyi, the sales of the official version of Xiaoyi are obviously much better than when the improved version was first launched.

In conjunction with the official version of Xiaoyi, Su Yunduo launched a new style of embroidered shoes, which are embroidered shoes with a one-inch wedge heel.

Putting on the official version of the small clothes, and then putting on this embroidered shoes, the temperament is immediately improved, and when you walk out of the "Yunshang" with your head held high, even with a veiled hat, the rate of return is 100%!
Su Yunduo learned that the "Yunshang" dress was becoming more and more popular, so she took the time to design an exquisite packaging, and specially printed the benefits and precautions of wearing the official version of the dress as an instruction manual by the bookstore. Since then, this dress and embroidered shoes have become popular. One of the main products of "Ella" this season.

Just after Su Yunduo finished working on the new product of "Yunshang", he received a reply from the Holy Master about the winery's brewing of grain wine and "Yunshang"'s holy intention to process and produce sleeping bags for soldiers in the border town.

Seeing the holy intention of processing and producing sleeping bags for the border town, Su Yunduo silently glanced at Lu Jinkang.

No wonder this man knew to bring her snacks when he came back today!
Speaking of adult sleeping bags, I still have to mention Su Zerui.

It was precisely because Lu Jinkang saw Su Yunduo sewing sleeping bags for Su Zerui that he could see the use of this sleeping bag for the soldiers.

That day, he held his chin and looked at the baby sleeping bag in Su Yunduo's hand and pondered for a while before asking Su Yunduo to sew a sleeping bag for adults for him.

Although Lu Jinkang didn't say anything clearly, Su Yunduo figured out something unusual from his serious attitude, and guessed that it was probably related to the border town soldiers.

Everything related to border guards is a big deal, and Su Yunduo will not lose the big because of the possible loss of business.

There is no zipper here, and the sleeping bag must be airtight and convenient, which really took Su Yunduo a lot of thought.

However, sleeping bags for adults are still much simpler to make than sleeping bags for toddlers.

Su Yunduo drew the style and size, and Zisu took Xiaofengyuan's handy nanny and maid, and made two adult sleeping bags overnight.

Su Yunduo guessed exactly what Lu Jinkang was thinking. The fillings of the two sleeping bags were made of cotton and duck down respectively.

Sure enough, on the second day, Lu Jinkang brought two sleeping bags into the palace, and within a few days, Leyou Winery's application to brew grain liquor was approved.

Even though there was an extra task of making sleeping bags for the border town, Su Yunduo still felt that she had made a profit. After all, the Holy Majesty could not let her make sleeping bags for the imperial court for nothing.

Su Yunduo was in a very good mood, but after she read a letter brought back by Lu Jinkang, her mood was not so beautiful. It was a letter of good news from Beibian City.
