Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 162.
After arranging the business, Los picked up the fruit wine he had just tasted and said with a smile: "It seems that Mandela's wine-making skills are really good. Even the archbishop with extremely high taste didn't pick out too many faults, and according to the archbishop's The suggestion can indeed improve the three fruit wines to a higher level."

"That's right!" Willy looked at the amber-colored liquid in the wine glass in Rose's hand and licked his lips and said with a smile, "I never thought that Mr. Mandela's wine-making skills are so superb. The castle can also serve wine tables to entertain guests, and no one can stop the cool and refreshing feeling in the hot summer."

"I prefer fire spirit wine. A real man should drink something hot like this." Thomas patted his chest and shouted. Dennis and Oliwen nodded in agreement.

Ross smiled in satisfaction. It seems that Mandela didn't brag about his abilities, and at the same time digested and absorbed the books on wine making that he gave him. You must know that the brick-thick book on wine making technology made Ross burn the light to copy five books. at night.

Immediately, Ross looked at Bruce and asked, "How is the preparation of the winemaking workshop? Can we start mass brewing after the fruit is picked this year?"

Bruce said distressedly: "The winemaking workshop, including the large wine cellar for storage, is almost ready. Last year, a batch of wine was initially brewed. There will be no problem with large-scale wine production after this autumn. But the biggest problem now is that there is not enough storage. Wine barrels, even if the wine is brewed, there will be no way to store it." Saying that, Bruce spread his hands helplessly.

"What's going on?" Rose was shocked and asked the precious pharmacist to make wine. He planned to turn the fruit wine in Stan Town into a high-end luxury.In the future, fruit wine will be the most important pillar industry besides medicinal materials and food. How can it be affected by a small wooden barrel?
Seeing that Ross was in a hurry, Bruce sat up straight and explained: "Currently there are only two wooden barrel workshops in Stan Town, one of which can only produce ordinary daily-use water barrels, etc., and cannot make extremely airtight wine barrels. The other One family can do it, but due to the limited number of craftsmen, the number of wine barrels produced every month is too small to satisfy the wine brewed from tens of thousands of acres of orchard fruits.

As for outsourcing, the nearby towns and even the nearest city of Troy don't have such a large batch of wooden barrels.Wellington City can buy it, but the journey is too far and the wooden barrels take up a lot of volume and are not easy to transport, so~~”

"Where's the glass bottle?" Rose asked, raising the transparent glass wine glass in his hand, and when he saw Bruce's wry smile, he immediately understood.

Naturally, glass has existed in this world for a long time, but this kind of technology is all in the hands of a very small number of nobles, and it is naturally impossible for them to announce and popularize the cash cow in their hands.Therefore, this kind of transparent and beautiful crystal-like things has completely become a luxury that can only be consumed by nobles and rich people.

The price of glass bottles may be tens or hundreds of times that of wine, so how can it be bought to store wine.

Ordinary citizens can only use wooden cups, tin cans and pottery.

"Pottery products? That's right. In my impression, when glass was not widely used in the previous life, all the drinks were packed in wine jars, that is, clay pots. Fruit wine can definitely be used." Lost thought about it, his eyes straightened. Gou looked at Bruce and asked: "Isn't it okay to put it in a clay pot? If there is no wine barrel, use a wine jar!"

Bruce obviously understands the importance that Ross attaches to fruit wine, and has done enough homework on wine making. He immediately frowned and said: "We have also considered the method you mentioned, but using wooden barrels of suitable materials can improve the quality of fruit wine to a certain extent. Quality. Poor quality clay pots will reduce the quality of fruit wine to a certain extent.”

"Oh!" Ross really didn't have much research on this aspect, so he blurted out and asked, "What kind of wooden barrel is most suitable for storing fruit wine, and immediately organize the people to plant it on a large scale in the territory."

When Bruce heard this question, he was immediately stuck. He wanted to say the answer but didn't dare to say it, and his face turned red.

Just when Ross watched Bruce's face turn from red to blue in puzzlement, Scholar Willy smiled and helped Bruce out: "My lord, I heard that the wine stored in oak barrels is more mellow, and there is a kind of The rare fragrance is the best wine barrel."

Los was taken aback, and glanced at the relieved Bru angrily: "I won't eat you again, as for?"

The oak tree is the sacred tree of druids, the source of power for druids, and the object that every druid will protect with his life.

As we all know, the lord of Stanland, Baron Terras is a second-level druid, who dares to use oak to make wine barrels in this territory, then he will definitely not see the sun the next day, so Bruce It will be that expression.

To be honest, Ross really doesn't mind using oak, as long as it doesn't cut down the two trees of himself and little Rocky, but as the darling of nature, if he doesn't guard the sacred tree, he can improve his morality so quickly. It's no wonder Rui's level is not noticed by those who are interested.

"Okay, okay!" Los looked at Bruce's innocent and sad eyes, waved his hands and said, "Then use the next-level wood. This matter can be divided into two steps. The first is to increase the size of the barrel. output. The second is to use clay pots with confidence.”

Seeing the other people listening attentively, especially Bruce took out a small notebook from his pocket and started to record, Los smiled wryly, cleared his throat and said, "The first thing is to increase the output of wooden barrels. Just now, Bruce It is also said that the reason for restricting the output of wine barrels is that there are too few carpenters.

I guess not every step of barrel making needs to be done by a carpenter.After a while, you will go to the barrel workshop and ask them to hire the local people to complete the simple and repetitive tasks in the process of making wine barrels, such as roughing the planks, baking the barrels, and moving them.Also, let them each bring a few more carpenter apprentices!
In short, tell them how many wooden barrels we will buy at what price, and even pay them a part of the deposit in advance. I believe they can give you a completely unexpected answer. "

After finishing speaking, Ross poured the liquid in the wine glass into his own mouth, moistened his throat and said, "As for the fact that clay pots will affect the quality of fruit wine, it doesn't really affect much. We have already said it just now, the town of Stan The quality of the fruit wine is very high, and the quality will only be higher after being adjusted by Mandela, so even if the taste is reduced a little because of the clay pot, it will not be bad there.

Besides, we can also reduce this impact by improving the quality of clay pots and other methods.For example, improve the smoothness and compactness of the glazed surface of the inner wall of the clay pot, and use a wooden lid to seal the pot and so on. "

"As expected of the lord!" Bruce closed the small book and sighed softly, before Luosi's strange eyes looked over, he hurriedly said: "I understand. I will immediately pass on the opinion of the lord to the barrel workshop, by the way Place a large order for them, and arrange for the massive planting of chestnut and ash trees at once.

In addition to the wine jar, I will arrange the requirements and orders for the wine jar as soon as possible. "

Los took a funny look at this serious guy, and reminded angrily: "Orders for wine barrels can also be given to several nearby towns, after all, it is impossible to meet the demand in the workshops of Stan Town in recent years.

In addition, ash trees and chestnut trees can be planted on both sides of the road between villages and towns, and you will definitely like the boulevard when the time comes. "

"Boulevard." Bloom read a few words silently. Although he hadn't seen it before, he quickly wrote it down in his small notebook. If he didn't understand it, he would follow what the lord said. There would definitely be unexpected results.This is the experience that Bruce has gained from working with Ross for so many years. The lord always has some ideas that everyone can't understand, but the effect is surprisingly good.

"A boulevard!" Ross looked at the transparent glass in his hand with emotion, thinking of the green trees and flowers that brought a little green and vitality to the reinforced concrete jungle on both sides of every road in the city in the previous life.

It's been almost ten years, how are you doing?How many new gadgets are there that I don't know about in that ever-changing world?
