034 Brew your own beer

After that, the two Liu brothers came here often.

Sometimes I come alone, sometimes I come with friends.

Once, I happened to meet a young man from a noble family in Xiangyang who was causing trouble here.

After being glared at by the two men, he ran away in shame.

Soon, the hot summer passed.

Mixue Bingsi's business has also declined significantly.

However, just by selling wine and popsicles in these two months, Zhuge Tian made a lot of money.

He sold more than 200 strings of cash worth of wine alone, and after deducting the cost, he made a net profit of almost 200 strings of cash.

Popsicles cost nothing, I just spent a few coins to buy candy in the system.

A total of nearly 2000 strings of cash were sold.

Add in the cost of the dishes sold and deduct the cost of meat, etc.

There are also dividends distributed to the brothers below.

The final surplus for two months was 1000 guan.

It took Zhuge Tian almost half the night to save all the money.

My own balance has reached an astonishing 160 million.

More than 1000/1 of the 7 million balance task has been completed.

What a pity, if only this summer were longer.

Zhuge Tian lay in bed, wondering if there was any other way to make money.

Xiangyang City has been peaceful for a long time, and there are many rich people here.

Early the next morning, I went for a walk in the field.

The rice has already formed ears.

The densely packed rice ears surprised everyone.

Although it is not fully mature yet, we can roughly estimate the yield after harvest.

Later, when Liao Hua and Gan Ning came, they planted corn, soybeans, wheat and other things.

The scale of planting is not as large as that of rice, but it can be seen that the yield after harvest will definitely not be small.

There are also sweet potatoes and potatoes underground, but they cannot be seen for the time being.

The land in Wolong Village has been fallow for quite some time, and the land has actually accumulated a lot of fertility.

Zhuge Tian was quite satisfied with this.

It would be a pity if these crops were only sold as food.

If it can be made into higher-quality agricultural products, it will definitely sell for a higher price.

"Hanxing, the Liu brothers are here again, asking if the wine is ready?"

"Didn't I say it's only available next month?"

"It's said that Liu Biao held a banquet for his ministers a few days ago and served beer to everyone, but it was drunk up in no time." Liao Hua said, "Can't we brew this beer ourselves?"

Compared to the strong Erguotou, which is only liked by a few people, beer, a low-alcohol beverage with a malt aroma, is more popular among people.

"Brew it ourselves..." Zhuge Tian hammered the palm of one hand with the other: "Yes, we brew it ourselves."

Wine is not cheap in the last days because food is scarce.

However, Zhuge Tian and his master were relatively well off running this shop, so they would sometimes brew some wine, some for themselves and some to sell.

Zhuge Tian can brew red wine, white wine and beer.

Among these, Zhuge Tian thought the easiest one was brewing beer.

"Tell them you can sell them more when they come to pick it up next month."

After hearing what Zhuge Tian said, Liao Hua's mouth corners curled up.

This means that you can actually brew your own beer.

He likes this thing too!

Liao Hua went to send the two Liu brothers away.

When I came back, I saw Zhuge Tian moving things out of the convenience store.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Liao Hua actively stepped forward to lend a hand.

Needless to say, it is definitely used for making wine!

Zhuge Tian looked at the machine that Liao Hua was carrying and couldn't help but feel emotional.

This is an all-in-one beer brewing machine, which was built by me and my master when I was about ten years old.

I didn't expect to use it in the Three Kingdoms now.

There is definitely no problem with this machine brewing beer, but after all, it was just for the two of them to drink themselves and sell in the store.

The output is not large, less than 40 liters at a time.

It is definitely not enough to do this business.

So Zhuge Tian began to climb up and down to redraw the rough blueprint.

The product is not complicated, but the craftsmanship requirements are not low.

The blacksmith in Wolong Village should be able to make it.

If we scale it up a bit, making a dozen or so should be enough for now.

After finishing the drawings, he gave them to Liao Hua and asked him to find someone to build it as soon as possible.

He then brought out two more bags of malt.

The reason there are two bags is because one bag is barley malt and the other bag is wheat malt.

"Liao Hua, find a few smart ones and ask them to come over and learn from me."

"This...are you willing to teach me?" Liao Hua was a little surprised.

"What else can we do?" Zhuge Tian shrugged.

Indeed, once these things are taught, they are prone to leakage.

But if he is not taught, Zhuge Tian knows quite a lot. Does that mean he will have to do everything by himself from morning till night in the future?

Besides, an important raw material of beer is hops or brewer's yeast.

There was no such thing in the entire Eastern Han Continent at that time, and all his hops were bought through the system.

Even if this skill is spread, it will be useless without hops.

As for finding Liao Hua, it was because the people Zhuge Liang brought were basically military men under Zhuge Xuan, and Gan Ning's men were all capable pirates.

Those people are suitable for training as professional soldiers.

But here in Liao Hua, before it became a mountain stronghold, there were carpenters, blacksmiths, farmers and hunters.

Liao Hua was touched and nodded. "I'll find someone trustworthy and tight-lipped to come over."

After a while, Liao Hua called five people over.

Zhuge Tian also began to teach step by step:

"The first step is saccharification, which is to turn the raw materials into sugar. The source of sugar is malt."

"The first step in mashing is grinding the malt. The malted barley is sprayed with some water and left to sit for a few minutes before grinding."

"This will increase the toughness of the barley malt bran and keep it intact after grinding..."

These people were illiterate, so Zhuge Tian had no way of writing down the steps.

I can only teach them step by step, ask them questions after teaching them to see if they remember them, and then ask them to do it again on their own.

It took them a whole day to learn how to saccharify and wash the mash.

The wort has been made.

"Okay, that's it for today."

The five men looked at each other and suddenly all knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, my lord."

This left Zhuge Tiangan confused.

"Everyone, get up. What are you doing?"

"Thank you, my lord, for passing on this skill to us."

Several people are sincere.

After studying for a day, I could feel that Zhuge Tian really told them all the details that needed attention, no matter how big or small.

They know how much this beer costs.

It can be said that now that they have a skill, if they leave Zhuge Tian one day in the future, they will have a skill to make a living, and it can even be said that it is a skill that can be passed down from generation to generation.

"Alright, alright, go eat. Recall today's steps tonight. If you don't remember anything tomorrow morning, come back and ask me."

Zhuge Tian shook his head. He had never thought about the lord.

The responsibility is too great.

In the past, he just wanted to live a good life.

It's the same now.

In his view, Zhuge Liang, Liao Hua, Gan Ning and others were just partners.
