The strongest peasant girl in Xiuse Jinyuan

Chapter 559 Making Mulberry Wine (2)
The brewing method of fruit vinegar is similar to the brewing method of mulberry wine, both of which need to use rock sugar, a large sand tank, and a filter screen.

In the workshop, these tools and supplementary materials were prepared in advance, because there was a rush to brew fresh mulberry fruit into fruit wine, Wei Changqu asked the people in the other two workshops to temporarily stop their work and all came to help Brewing mulberry wine, simply, the spicy cabbage and dried roasted seeds and nuts were in stock before, and if they stopped for two or three days, it would not delay Wei Ji's business.

In the workshop, all of them were wearing big white hoodies and a large blue turban on their heads. They were uniformly dressed, just like female workers in a modern factory.

Of course, this was specifically requested by Wei Changqu. In addition, those who came to work must trim their nail clippers and wash their hands.

The things produced in the workshop are all for entrance, and they must be clean and up to hygienic standards.

The white color looks clean. Wearing the big white hoodie on the body can well cover the dust on the body. A turban is wrapped around the head to prevent hair from falling out.

When everyone heard that mulberry wine was going to be brewed, they were all very curious, and they all stared at Wei Changqu eagerly.

This wild mulberry can be used to make wine, why haven't they heard of it before.

"Changjue, is this mulberry fruit really edible? Can it really be brewed? What is the brewing method?" Li Qingcao glanced at Wei Changjue, couldn't help it, and was the first to speak.

As soon as she finished speaking, several young women looked at her, looking at her with strange eyes.

This Li Qingcao failed to make a greenhouse for vegetables, so why would he want to learn how to brew mulberry bars again.

Wei Changju rolled her eyes, and glanced at the crowd lightly. Seeing that everyone was present, she simply answered Li Qingcao, saying, "Someone will teach you later."

Seeing that Wei Changju didn't like to talk too much, Li Qingcao had to keep her mouth shut.

She made that incident at Wei Changying's wedding and almost offended the God of Joy. At this moment, seeing that Wei Changying didn't like to talk too much, she felt a little guilty. She was really afraid that Wei Changying would not let her work.

Li Qingcao was very entangled in her heart, but Wei Changju didn't take her seriously at all.

She turned her eyes, glanced at Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Feng, and Mrs. Yu, and began to distribute the work.

"Third Aunt, please bring ten people with you to wash the mulberries in the basket and dry them."

After giving the order, he turned his gaze to Mrs. Yu again, and said with a smile, "Aunt Chunlan, please bring ten people with you to crush the dried mulberries into dregs."

"Second Aunt, you take the rest of the people to install the altar, and I'll teach you how to do it." Finally, he turned to look at Feng Shi.

The operation method of the assembly line can make full use of human resources, saving time and effort.

"Qiao'er, we all listen to you. Do whatever you say." Wei Changqu arranged the matter neatly, and the three of Yang, Feng, and Yu nodded in agreement in unison.

Making wine with wild mulberries is unheard of by the public, and Yang, Feng, and Yu are also very curious.

Wei Changju didn't hide it either. Before starting work, he demonstrated it in front of everyone.

She first took a few catties of bright red fresh mulberries, poured them into a wooden basin lightly, then slowly poured water into the wooden basin, and sprinkled a little refined salt into the water.

"Attention everyone. When picking up the mulberry fruit, you must be gentle. You can't hurt the mulberry fruit while cleaning it." Wei Changqu patiently explained to a group of women while demonstrating.

"Why do you need to add salt?" As soon as she finished speaking, a woman asked curiously.

The woman thought to herself: Changjue is really willing to add salt to the water, it is refined salt, how expensive is this refined salt, when she cooks at home, she is only willing to put a little bit of coarse salt to taste the saltiness That's it.

Wei Changqu smiled slightly, she naturally knew that the woman loved the refined salt noodles.

"Sister-in-law, adding salt noodles to the water can sterilize and disinfect." Although he knew that the woman might not understand sterilization and what disinfection meant, Wei Changju still explained with a smile.

After Wei Changjue finished speaking, the woman was really confused and couldn't find the door.

After cleaning the mulberry fruit and soaking it in salt water for a while, Wei Changjue took a dustpan, spread the cleaned and sterilized mulberry fruit in the dustpan, and took it to the sun to cool and dry.

While she was working, she instructed: "Third Aunt, Second Aunt, Aunt Chunlan, the step of drying the fruit is especially important. The water beads on the surface of the mulberry fruit must be dried before they can be put into the jar."

No matter how clean the water is, it will contain planktonic bacteria. If the water on the surface of the mulberry fruit is not cooled and dried, after being sealed in the altar, not only will the fermentation fail, but it is very likely to turn into a jar of stinky swill. Wei Changjue deliberately After exhorting, I want Yang Shi, Feng Shi, and Yu Shi to pay attention to it. This level must be strictly controlled.

In June and July, the sun was so hot that the mulberries were exposed to the sun, and when the mulberry fruit was taken out, it took only a cup of tea to drop a layer of water beads on the surface.

Wei Changju brought the dried mulberries back to the workshop.

There was no fruit crusher in this era, so she had to pour the sun-dried mulberries into a big bucket, and then pounded the mulberries into dregs by herself.

The ripe mulberry fruit is extremely soft and juicy, and it will rot immediately after being crushed. After a few poundings, it will be broken into pomace, which is effortless at all.

Wei Changqu found a small sand jar, and put all the fruit pulp and juice into the sand jar.

Everyone stood in a circle, surrounding Wei Changqu in the center, watching her put the purple-red flesh and juice into the jar.

Wei Changqu deliberately slowed down his movements so that everyone could see clearly.

At this time, Li Qingcao turned her arms, squeezed again, and leaned forward. She watched Wei Changju put the crushed fruit pulp and juice into the sand jar, and couldn't help but ask: "Long Hey, did this happen?" His eyes were full, and his tone was rather urgent.

It turns out that the brewing method of this mulberry wine is so simple, it just requires some salt noodles, but it is much easier to take care of than the vegetable greenhouse. She can do such a simple job.

Wei Changqu naturally knew what Li Qingcao was thinking.

She invited someone to work in the workshop, so she didn't intend to hide it, as long as Li Qingcao could learn it, let her learn it.

"Add rock sugar to the jar and just stir well." Wei Changqu said lightly.

While speaking, Wei Changju lifted the sack at hand, scooped up a few spoonfuls of rock sugar, and put them into the sand jar.

"One catty of mulberry fruit can be served with rock sugar for ten renminbi. If you like it sweeter, you can have twenty renminbi rock sugar for one catty of mulberry fruit."

Hearing Wei Changju's words, Li Qingcao's heart ached from the pain.

Her mother, to make this mulberry wine, you need to use refined salt and rock sugar. You know, refined salt and rock sugar are very expensive. It’s okay to say that refined salt is not used much, but why use so much? Rock candy.
