Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 663 Transporting the Grapes Away

If she chooses to make wine at home, there will be many people coming and going in and out of the house, even if she can hide in the house to do it, but if she picks a few baskets of grapes a day, there is no guarantee that people will not come to ask where to sell them, and if there is a good price.

After all, people who pick a lot of grapes in the mountains will also carry the grapes to the city to sell them for money.

Now that someone has made up his mind, Zhou Xiang has to think about this issue in advance.

After hearing this, everyone felt that it was safe, and Ye Bai had already prepared oak barrels and large earthen jars packed in ten catties.

The brewing technology of this era was underdeveloped.

In addition to the finer grapes and fine wines from the tribute, the expensive wines shipped from the Western Regions have traveled all the way, and the wines are inevitably not clear enough.

But Ding Shishi couldn't create better conditions, so the last solution he came up with was to put the wine on the top of the earthen jar, and then transfer it to oak wine barrels for storage when the wine gradually mellowed.

During this process, the grape skins and other residues are also filtered out, and the pure wine is sealed in oak barrels, and then stored in the cellar with ice cubes.

The cellar has already been dug in the village.

But this Zhuangzi is not the two under the name of Ding Shitou, but the one with the servants of the Zhao family and the housekeeper Lin.

Even, in order to prioritize storage more conveniently, Ye Bai dug a tunnel in the small house that was converted into Ye's house.

Moreover, the tunnel was in the house that Ding Shitou dug to go to Zhao's house, but it was not the kind that went to the next door, but extended to another room in Ye's house and expanded the area.

The cellar is not deep and the conditions are limited, so the ice made in winter will inevitably melt in summer.

Dante's stone provides a method that is said to be folk earthwork.
Ye Bai was the first to make it, and he was very happy, and it will be used in Fugui Building this summer.

This summer, when other restaurants didn't have enough ice cubes and it was so hot that people needed to fan them, Fuguilou's business was booming because of the large amount of ice cubes stored, and it also gained a firm foothold in Hangzhou.

In summer there is ice and a range of icy desserts.

In addition, the dishes are really delicious, which person who loves to eat and enjoy is not willing to go?
Ye Bai said that next year, he can go to other places to open Fuguilou branch.

It is also limited to do business and stick to one family to make money. Only by continuously expanding branch stores can we truly become rich.

Ding Shitou is very satisfied with Ye Bai and Chen Shi's business ability, only Li Kan and Han Yiqing are looking at the sky silently.

They are all high-ranking officials!

They are all officials of the prince!
They all have monthly salaries and official powers!

But the prince himself, listening to the joyous laughter of his daughter-in-law reading the account book and counting the money, he was also very satisfied.

Look at this gentle and homely...

Early the next morning, before the dew was harvested, the guards went to pick grapes, and Ding Shitou also helped Zhao Jian to join in the fun.

In order not to damage the grapes, Chen Fuliang had been asked to cut a lot of branch pruning.

Branch scissors are different from ordinary scissors, and are specially used to cut flowers and branches.

It is the most suitable for cutting grapes now.

When Chen Shi came to the Mid-Autumn Festival before, in addition to transporting the machines, he also took fifty pruning shears.

The grapes in Zhuangzi are mainly maintained by the nearby Fengling Village.

Baiyang Village and Donghu Village mainly grow sweet potatoes, which will be harvested next month.

So now the village is busy picking grapes.

However, there are not many grapes grown in Nancheng Village. In order to avoid transporting the grapes away and increasing losses, the wine is made nearby.

At first, I didn't want to make too much noise, so not only picked them early in the morning, but also put them in baskets and sent them to the city immediately.

The dew is not dry, and the quantity is not much, that is, the two carriages are full and leave.
