Traveling through 70's wine

In fact, Wen Qing came to the store five days ago, but Zhuang Xien and his team had already sold out the transmission sets and were now waiting for the rice to cook.

Wen Qing said quickly: "I just received it yesterday and sent it over today. I dare not delay it at all."

Everyone unloaded their stuff and put it into the store.

Fang Yuan also said: "It has been out of stock for two days, and people are still asking about it today. Now there are already 40 people who have made reservations."

Wen Qing asked: "Are you guys waiting for someone to come and modify it?"

Lin Qingyuan said: "It's not easy to collect old bicycles. I can collect at most ten a week. I have been running all over the city."

Wen Qing asked: "Do you have any connections with bicycle factories? We can buy some parts from them and assemble them ourselves."

Fang Yuan suddenly realized and said, "We can try this."

He used to work in a bicycle factory, so he has connections.

Zhuang Xien said: "Don't bicycle factories use all the parts they produce themselves? Will they sell them?"

Wen Qing said: "When bicycle factories produce parts, they always produce more."

Zhuang Xien said, "Yes, Xiaopang, go and invite your buddies from the factory out for dinner, and we can discuss this."

If Fang Yuan can get some parts out, we might as well give them some benefits.

The next day, Zhuang Xien invited Fang Yuan's friends for a drink and learned that they did have some extra parts, which were secretly stolen and sold by people in the factory. If they wanted them, they could buy them from the factory.

Everyone agreed to get parts for Fang Yuan for 50 bicycles every month. A buddy who worked in the purchasing department also said that he could help them buy some parts in the future. A hundred bicycles a month would be no problem, but the price would be 50% higher than the parts from the factory, which would be considered his own expense.

In the next few days, Wen Qing stayed in the library to study the winemaking process. Although she had brewed wine in the space and even in the backyard, brewing wine in large quantities was still different.

It is now the 80s. Individual businesses have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and social atmosphere has gradually become more open.

Wen Qing plans to open a winery. The winemaking equipment, tools and wine cellar are all ready. The crops planted in the space have also been adjusted: 100 acres of sorghum, 80 acres of rice, including 30 acres of glutinous rice, 70 acres of wheat, 60 acres of corn and 40 acres of barley.

每一季能够收获高粱7万多斤、稻米5万多斤、小麦5万多斤、玉米4万多斤、大麦3万多斤。

In addition, she also planted about 20 acres of peas on the hillside and tea garden, and could harvest more than 6000 kilograms each season to make koji.

The crops in the space mature once every one and a half months, but plowing, sowing, fertilizing and harvesting all take time, so there can be six harvests a year, which is enough to meet the food needs of a small winery. In addition, the twenty ceramic jars and four wine cellars in the space are also sufficient for making wine.

The wine cellar in the backyard has been built. The wine-making equipment was bought by her in Hong Kong City. There are foreign trademarks on it, so it cannot be taken out for people to see now.

The current rule for self-employed individuals is that they cannot employ more than eight employees. She plans to design the distillation equipment herself and automate processes such as temperature control and water treatment to save manpower as much as possible.

Wen Qing consulted the books on winemaking in the library and put together a winemaking process manual, preparing to use it to train employees.

While attending classes, Wen Qing also took time to look for wine-making workshops in the villages around Pingjing. She still wanted to see how others ran their wineries, but many village wine-making workshops were closed during the turmoil. After searching for a long time, she finally found a workshop that made liquor in a village deep in the mountains.

This workshop uses the traditional solid-state winemaking method, which is the same method Wen Qing uses to make wine. She tasted the liquor they brewed and felt that the liquor they brewed had more impurities due to problems with the wine cellar, brewing temperature and environmental control. The taste of the liquor was not very good and the aroma was more mixed.

She asked the winery's master about the methods of brewing wine and making koji, and compared the knowledge with her own.

I also bought their winery's wine steamer, a large grain mill and 100 kilograms of wine yeast.

In order to make brewing equipment, she went to the school-run factory and bought stainless steel plates, iron sheets and other parts with her own money. She made a large steamer, a condenser, a stainless steel barrel with stirring function, and an automatic conveyor. She also asked the school-run factory to transfer several thermometers to her, and she put together the brewing equipment, although it was a bit crude.

She found Captain Liu and asked him to issue a certificate, which helped her get a self-employed license, and her winery was officially opened.

The workers for the winery were found in the village. Captain Liu introduced his son Liu Quan and his wife's nephew Wang Jianguo to work in the winery. Both of them were in their thirties, five or six years older than Wen Qing. Wen Qing paid them 30 yuan a month, which was no less than the workers in the local factory. And they worked in the village. Captain Liu was very satisfied.

Wen Qing took two people to install the equipment, and then went to the market outside the village to buy food. They rode a tricycle to pull it back to the backyard so that the villagers could see it. This was mainly to cover up their tracks.

晚上，她从空间里拿出5000斤高粱、3000斤粳米、3000斤糯米、2000斤小麦、2000斤大麦、3000斤玉米、1000斤豌豆，一半放进了前院东厢房，一半放进后院。

Take out 2000 kilograms of koji from the space and place it in the small koji room in the backyard. The water in the water tank is a mixture of well water and space spring water. This is to increase the success rate. In the future, well water will be gradually used, and everything will be ready.

On the day when work officially started, Wen Qing took Liu Quan and Wang Jianguo to wash the sorghum, wheat, rice, corn and rice husks, grind them slightly, boil water, and soak the grains after the water temperature dropped.

Here, Wang Jianguo ground the koji into fine powder, Liu Quan prepared the drying area and tools, Wen Qing steamed the rice husks and put them aside, and after the grains had been soaked for a while, the three began to steam the grains.

This was the first time making wine, so Wen Qing would make strong-aroma liquor first, and then make light-aroma liquor after all ten wine cellars were filled and sealed.

There are two methods for brewing strong-aroma liquor: the original cellar method and the running cellar method. She didn't have many cellars, so she adopted the original cellar method, that is, after each cellar was opened and the dregs were added, they were put back into the original cellar for fermentation.

During the school day, Wen Qing asked Liu Wang and the other two to do some preliminary preparation work during the day, and then made wine with them after returning home at night. After seven days, they completed the sealing of ten wine cellars and twenty ground vats. When the first batch of lees began to ferment, the three of them felt that they could finally relax a little.

Wen Qing took out the winemaking manual she had compiled and gave it to Liu and Wang, saying, "Liu Quan, Wang Jianguo, you have followed me in making wine this time, so you should know the general process of winemaking.

This is the winemaking method I wrote, which mainly summarizes the winemaking experience of other wineries. You can take a look at it and refer to it when making wine in the future. "

Wang Jianguo flipped through the notebook, which contained a complete list of winemaking processes, including crushing grains, steaming raw grains, and drying them. There was also a method for making koji at the back, so he immediately began to read it attentively.

Liu Quan flipped through the notebook and put it in his pocket. He was not very interested in brewing wine, but he was more flexible in thinking. When the market was not open, he had secretly done black market business and he liked the feeling of making money the most.

Wen Qing didn't care much about it. They both had their own strengths. When the winery became bigger in the future, they could naturally assign work according to their own interests.

The fermentation time of liquor is about twenty days. During the fermentation period, there is not much to do in the winery. Wang Jianguo is responsible for cleaning the cellar, checking the fermentation situation, and recording the temperature of the cellar.

Wen Qing gave Liu Quan the wine she had brewed before and asked him to take the wine out and look for ways to sell it.

Of course, she also started contacting people to sell alcohol.
